Chapter 188: 119, 120. Mysterious Heart Moon-Gazing Jue, Song Cheng Swallows Su Family (Large Chapter - Asking for Subscriptions)_4

Because he felt unable to do it, found it troublesome, and directly turned down plainly visible benefits—along with offending a bunch of people—this was something... Song Cheng couldn’t do.

So, at this moment, Song Cheng nodded repeatedly, agreeing readily...

After the eleven tasks were announced, the Su Family saw that Song Cheng hadn’t refused, so they did not reject his joining the family either.

Interestingly, these eleven tasks all had close ties with the Imperial City, or one might say they were entirely centered around it.

Song Cheng was a bit speechless, You guys from the Su Family have been pushed out to the borders, yet you still want a newcomer to do things for you at the center of power... What are you thinking?

In an instant, eleven Divine Souls left.

The once crowded and noisy Yin Residence suddenly became a bit emptier.

The Head of the Su Family said, "Song, follow me."

Song Cheng nodded.

The two walked to a corner of the Yin Residence.

The Head of the Su Family gently opened a cabinet door in the Yin Residence, revealing quite a few Spirit Tablets inside.

Some had names inscribed, while others were blank.

There were a total of fourteen with names inscribed, with Su Ningyu and Su Houzhang’s names prominently among them.

And the highest Spirit Tablet was inscribed with the three characters "Su Mengzhen."

Song Cheng looked at the Head of the Su Family.

The latter nodded and said, "It’s me."

Then, she picked up a blank spirit tablet and said, "Now we need to inscribe your name. Do it yourself. Once you’re done, you will officially join the Su Family."

Holding the spirit tablet, Song Cheng glanced over at the two women.

One had a favorability of 99, and the other 93, neither seemed like they would harm him.

The system was quite precise in this regard, especially once the favorability reached 100, that meant complete trust and openness.

Su Mengzhen spoke plainly, "This Spirit Tablet is within the Yin Residence. Once you inscribe your own name with your Divine Soul, afterward you’ll be able to cultivate here. Similarly, this is also an authority of the Head of the Su Family.

As the Family Head, I am the only one who can visualize the Yin Residence and call back the family’s offspring through the Spirit Tablet.

Su Houzhang was called back by me, and after fighting with me, was sealed within the tablet."

Su Mengzhen did not hide anything and said directly, "There are two Dharma Methods for sealing.

One is to seal into the Yin Residence; the other is to forget, like an inexistent Contemplator in the world.

Su Houzhang was sealed by the former; Yu was sealed by the latter.

Her statue was only seen by Lady Zhushan, who destroyed Yu’s statue, cutting off the possibility of her being visualized again. Fortunately, Lady Zhushan left a painting, otherwise... Yu might have had to stay in the family for a long time."

Before you asked why you couldn’t leave your True Self to wander outside.

That’s because the world is like a furnace, and Yin Souls will suffer greatly if they linger outside for too long. Possession... is the only way to avoid this loss."

Song Cheng thought for a moment and then asked, "Is only the Family Head able to visualize the Yin Residence?"

Su Mengzhen replied, "Yes."

Song Cheng then asked, "As a Family Head, can you also inscribe names on another family’s tablets?"

Su Ningyu: ???

Su Mengzhen: ???

The girl in red said with a speechless tone, "Song, are you also the Family Head of some other family? Why do you ask such strange questions?"

Su Mengzhen seriously answered, "Your question is too rare, I don’t think anyone has tried it.

I know you’re now worried that this Spirit Tablet might harm you, but I assure you, it won’t.

As for whether you believe it or not, that’s up to you."

Song Cheng glanced at the favorability levels of the two again, so he then raised his hand to grab the Spirit Tablet, intending to inscribe his name upon it.

But when he grasped for it, he failed to move it.

He was taken aback for a moment.

Su Mengzhen said, "Only the Family Head can pick up this Spirit Tablet."

She pointed to the Spirit Tablet behind her own.

It was inscribed with "Su Shiling," a member of the Su Family from before.

Song Cheng vaguely remembered that this "Su Shiling" was also extremely powerful, second only to Su Mengzhen in the family.

Su Mengzhen said, "If I die, my name will vanish from the Spirit Tablet, and Su Shiling will become the first on the tablet. He... will automatically become the new Family Head, managing the Yin Residence."

Song Cheng asked, "Why not have Ningyu be second in line?"

Su Mengzhen replied, "For the stability of the clan."

After saying this, she continued, "Thus, you should believe that even though the Family Head has the power to visualize the Yin Residence and summon back family members, it’s just that, power. The true decider of everything is still strength.

Yu likes you very much, and you two will likely become Taoist companions.

And you were proposed to join the Su Family by us sisters; you are one with us, sharing honor and disgrace.

We all hope you grow stronger, so... it’s impossible for us to harm you."

After thinking it over, the elder sister-in-law continued, "Regarding the previous matter where a clan member asked you to contact an evil spirit, it actually involves a secret to attaining a higher level of the Mystic Realm, this secret..."

Song Cheng didn’t wait for her to continue and directly raised his hand to the Spirit Tablet she was holding, and swiftly inscribed the name "Song Cheng."

In a flash, he felt a strange sensation of his soul being pulled away, like an elevator... suddenly malfunctioning, falling weightlessly from the twentieth floor down to the first.

But immediately after, his soul made a loop and returned to his body.

Song Cheng: ???

Before he could ask, Su Ningyu next to him said, "Don’t worry, Song, this feeling is normal; we all have it.

But only in this way can we fully connect with the Yin Residence.

This isn’t a loss, but a display of your connection to the Yin Residence, to our Su Family."

Song Cheng:...

He felt that something was not quite right, so he decided to omit his odd question "Then why has my soul returned?"

He had a strange hunch, which he planned to test later on.
