It turned out that the seal placed on Hua Fanyin by Shi Lei was meant to suppress her "physique." Hua Fanyin possessed the rare and coveted Xuantian Pure Yin body, a condition that makes her the ideal furnace for any male cultivator—an enchanting beauty with a physique that all men covet.
Women with such a constitution typically become the vessels for powerful cultivators, ultimately drained of their life force until they perish.
In the world simulated by the Tianyan Diagram, Hua Fanyin's secret—her Xuantian Pure Yin body—was accidentally exposed to her fellow disciple, a junior sister. As a result, she became the target of a vicious pursuit and was ultimately abducted by a powerful demonic cultivator.
Her junior sister, stricken with guilt, entered the demon's domain alone, determined to rescue her. By a twist of fate, she encountered the Demon Lord, who had disguised himself as a mere boy. The Demon Lord grew fond of Hua Fanyin's "little junior sister," doting on her as though she were a precious gem. Eventually, this "little sister" struck down the demonic cultivator and rescued Hua Fanyin.
However, in reality, Hua Fanyin was never "captured" by the demon cultivator. On the contrary, the demon cultivator had saved her from a group of people who intended to harvest her life force, sparing her from an untimely end.
Soon, Hua Fanyin and the demonic cultivator developed feelings for each other and were prepared to marry.
But her "little sister" and the overzealous followers of the Demon Lord, unable to discern the truth, forcibly killed the demonic cultivator and dragged Hua Fanyin back to the sect.
The junior sister claimed that Hua Fanyin had been brainwashed by the demon cultivator, and everyone believed her. When Hua Fanyin returned, rather than feeling gratitude, she attempted to kill her junior sister on multiple occasions. To everyone's disbelief, Hua Fanyin became a target of scorn, branded as ungrateful, a case of "the dog biting Lu Dongbin, unable to recognize good intentions."
In the end, Hua Fanyin's fate was sealed. She was expelled from the sect, her cultivation forcibly crippled, and she was imprisoned, reduced to a mere furnace.
After reading all this, Ji Wushuang was stunned.
Wasn't the "little junior sister" Hua Fanyin mentioned in the diagram… her?
[Tianyan Diagram, is this simulation accurate?][Accurate? Of course it is!][But how could I possibly do such a thing!][Don't forget, if you hadn't come to this plane, there would have been other junior sisters.]
Other junior sisters?
The only one who stood out that day, aside from herself, was... Mo Lanyi.
Moreover, whether it was Lu Xingzhou, Lian Yuan, or Hua Fanyin, none of them could clearly identify the "troublemaker" in their "simulation."
There was only one possibility.
This "troublemaker" was one and the same person, and that person was favored by the Heavenly Dao.
The answer was clear.
But Ji Wushuang still wanted to confirm. Her brows furrowed as she stood up and said, "Thank you, Second Senior Sister. I still have something to ask the Master. Could you please convey my message to him?"
Her voice was sweet and soft, just like a little kitten, and Hua Fanyin could not help but smile with warmth in her heart.
"Of course, of course, I can do that," Hua Fanyin replied, her voice rising in excitement.
On the other side, Lian Xing immediately descended from the Quiet Reflection Cliff when he heard Ji Wushuang was looking for him. "Little... Wushuang, is there something you need from your master?"
Ji Wushuang's face was serious. "Master, I have a question for you. If you had not accepted me as your disciple, who would you have taken as your disciple instead?"
Lian Xing felt a sudden rush of surprise. Was the Little Grandmaster jealous?
Good heavens, he could hardly believe it!
He smiled, his expression turning brighter than a blooming flower. "Don't worry, don't worry, Master hasn't taken anyone else as a disciple."
Ji Wushuang remained serious. "Master, think carefully."
Seeing her so earnest, Lian Xing could only reflect deeply. But the more he thought, the more he realized that no one else seemed suitable. There was no one who appeared to have such worldly desires, after all.
"Would it have been Mo Lanyi?" he asked, his tone filled with disbelief.
"Huh? How could that be?"
Lian Xing knew all about Mo Lanyi's actions. Yet, from a certain perspective, she had spoken some truth. He could not be angry with her, but his impression of her was irreparably tarnished.
"Master, do not let personal bias affect your judgment. Analyze it from a rational perspective," Ji Wushuang advised.
From a rational perspective?
Lian Xing thought for a moment, and after a while, he let out a thoughtful "Eh?"
That single utterance said it all.
The answer was clear. If Ji Wushuang hadn't arrived, Lian Xing would undoubtedly have accepted Mo Lanyi as his disciple. The person who harmed Second Senior Sister must have been her.
Seeing Ji Wushuang's solemn expression, Hua Fanyin's face reddened in anger. "Who is this Mo Lanyi?!" she demanded.
Lian Xing, realizing that some things were beyond his control, felt his temper flare but refrained from acting. Instead, he told Ji Wushuang everything. Hua Fanyin's face flushed even redder, her beauty becoming even more striking.
"This is outrageous! A young girl with such a wicked heart. Don't worry, Junior Sister. I will think of a way to teach her a lesson," Hua Fanyin said, anger radiating from her.
Ji Wushuang couldn't help but smile wryly. She felt that she and her Master, Second Senior Sister, along with the Sect Leader and others, were becoming the antagonists in this little drama, as though they were destined to bring trouble to the "heavenly favored one."
"Alright, Second Senior Sister, Master, this is just childish quarrels. If you interfere, the nature of the matter will change. Please do not involve yourselves."
"But..."
"Don't worry, I will handle it myself." Ji Wushuang spoke with absolute seriousness, bowing to both her Senior Sister and Master. Her earnestness made them both soften in their hearts.
Indeed, there was a flower-like little one in the Zhuxing Peak, and just being around her was enough to lift anyone's spirits.
"Alright, you handle it yourself."
"Yes, if you cannot handle it, your Senior Sister will step in."
Ji Wushuang nodded. After a moment of contemplation, she decided to seek out the two unfortunate souls who had been swept up in this. If they took action against Mo Lanyi, the Heavenly Dao would no longer bother to interfere.
