Currently, it was not appropriate to linger here.
Yun Zhonghe took advantage of the powerful aura moving away and immediately ran quickly toward the city gates of Cangzhou.
He was like a mouse, afraid of being caught by a cat.
“In the future, I should stay far away from them,” Yun Zhonghe muttered to himself as he rapidly activated his spiritual energy to run faster.
Having narrowly avoided the death route, he didn’t want to be involved with any of the main characters.
He just wanted to be a good person and live a peaceful second life in this other world.
Besides, he had been reincarnated as the young master of a prestigious family.
Although his family background couldn’t compare to the immortal second-generation disciples of major sects, it was still comfortable enough in the mortal world.
As long as he avoided the main characters, he could live a carefree and happy life.
It’s not that Yun Zhonghe was boasting, he was actually quite easy to please.
He didn’t have any lofty ideals—just marrying a decent wife in the future would be enough.
There was no need to aim for the cold, proud women like the Empress of Heaven.
So, starting from now, he would just be a proper young master.
“It’s decided, then!”
Once Yun Zhonghe confirmed his future path, he immediately felt filled with hope and looked forward to his future life. Forest Lin Zhongyu was walking on her way home.
She had already straightened her clothes, looking elegant and dignified.
Her black hair cascaded down to her waist, and she appeared very graceful.
As she stepped through the sunset, her mind kept recalling Yun Zhonghe’s figure.
She lowered her head, looking at her palm, feeling waves of heat surging in her lower abdomen.
Although it felt strange, it was also quite pleasant.
There seemed to be a strong and restless energy that was about to burst forth.
She didn’t understand what was happening but felt as though some force was about to erupt.
“It seems that ever since the young master of the Yun family treated me, my body has been undergoing subtle changes.”
Lin Zhongyu muttered, not even noticing that her eyes were now sparkling with faint golden light.
This was a sign that her Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes were about to awaken.
When Yun Zhonghe had forced the poison from her body, it had triggered a mysterious force inside Lin Zhongyu and activated the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes early.
Now, she only needed a trigger to awaken this power on her own and make a complete comeback.
But at the moment, her mind was still focused on Yun Zhonghe, and she didn’t even realize that this strange power had anything to do with her.
Lin Zhongyu furrowed her brows and muttered, “Could it be that Young Master Yun secretly gave me some medicinal pills to increase my cultivation?”
In the small place of Cangzhou, pills that could increase cultivation were very precious.
Even her Lin family only allowed the most talented individuals to use them.
Lin Zhongyu had taken such pills before, but even she, the “Cangzhou’s Number One Genius,” could only receive two pills from her family each year.
This showed just how rare and precious these pills were.
But thinking of Yun Zhonghe’s kindness, perhaps he really did give her a pill to save her life.
“He would actually go so far for me…” Lin Zhongyu’s heart was deeply moved.
But feeling the power bubbling up inside her, she knew she couldn’t waste Yun Zhonghe’s kindness.
She immediately sat down to meditate and cultivate, aiming to refine the newfound energy.
The mysterious force emerging inside her was quickly refined, and the scorching energy followed a meridian straight into her eyes.
At the same time, her stagnant cultivation suddenly began to grow rapidly.
The blocked meridians were dissolved by the strong yet gentle force, and her entire body’s meridians were completely cleansed.
In an instant, Lin Zhongyu’s cultivation, which was at the third level of Qi Refining, surged to the fourth level… No, it had already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining!
At the same time, two beams of golden light shot out from Lin Zhongyu’s eyes.
In that moment, the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes fully awakened, bringing about a heaven-defying change.
Her eyes could now see the flow of spiritual energy around her, even recognizing its attributes with clarity.
Her sensitivity to spiritual energy had been enhanced to its utmost level.
“So strong! This power… has greatly strengthened my eyes. The body that couldn’t cultivate has now returned to normal. I can even see the flow of spiritual energy clearly, which means I can absorb energy that matches my attributes more efficiently.”
Not only that, the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes allowed her to see the flow of spiritual energy inside a person’s body, enabling her to know if her cultivation techniques were working correctly.
This made learning cultivation techniques much more efficient.
In battle, she could also predict what techniques and energy types her opponent would use, allowing her to target them precisely.
Lin Zhongyu, once a genius, immediately thought of many uses for the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes after realizing its effects.
She was shocked.
This opportunity made her feel that all the humiliation she had suffered over the years had been washed away, and she no longer felt wronged.
At the same time, she noticed a clue on her body with her Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes—the acupuncture points that Yun Zhonghe had used on her were directly linked to the activation of this mysterious power.
This meant…It was Yun Zhonghe who helped her activate these eyes!
“Yun Shaoye… he actually… did all this for me…”
Having suffered so much humiliation without shedding a single tear, Lin Zhongyu, who was strong by nature, couldn’t hold back anymore. Tears fell from her eyes.
She covered her mouth, trying not to sob, but the overwhelming emotions inside her made it hard to suppress.
Before, when Yun Zhonghe forced the poison from her and helped her, she had already been deeply moved, but now she realized that Yun Zhonghe had helped her change her fate.
Such a favor could never be repaid.
Lin Zhongyu bit her lip. She remembered Yun Zhonghe’s teachings and didn’t want to cry anymore.
She clenched her fists and wiped the tears from her eyes.
She looked up at the sky, which was painted golden by the sunset, as if she was reminded of Yun Zhonghe’s golden hair.
“I, Lin Zhongyu, have had a life full of ups and downs… Young Master is definitely my most important benefactor. No matter what happens in the future, I must repay him. Let me do anything for him!”
Lin Zhongyu swore, but then felt a sense of regret because she realized that she didn’t even know the name of her benefactor, only that he was the young master of the Yun family.
She promised herself that once she returned to the Lin family, she would inquire more about him.
After refining the energy, Lin Zhongyu stood up, ready to head back quickly.
Just then, a graceful silver-white figure emerged from the depths of the forest.
The young girl was wearing a white dress, with a delicate and youthful face, yet astonishingly beautiful.
Her silver hair was like snow, exuding an air of coldness and pride, her aura as chilling as an ancient frozen river.
However, when her violet eyes met Lin Zhongyu’s gaze, they were filled with warmth.
The silver-haired girl was much smaller than Lin Zhongyu, more like a loli, or rather, somewhere between a loli and a young woman.
But the figure on her chest was notably proud and upright, drawing Lin Zhongyu’s attention.
This was the destined female protagonist from the game, Huang Ao Tian —Mu Jixue!
At this moment, her small face turned red, clearly from running for quite some time.
As soon as she saw Lin Zhongyu, she opened her arms and rushed towards her, enveloping Lin Zhongyu in a tight hug.
“Thank goodness, Xiao Yu, you’re alright! That bastard Yun Zhonghe didn’t do anything to you, did he?”
Her tone was urgent, and she quickly checked Lin Zhongyu’s body.
Upon confirming that Lin Zhongyu was unharmed, she let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Lin Zhongyu had not been harmed.
