Chapter 1217: Chapter 1237 All the Stories, Are Connected Now!_1

"The North Profound Sect, one of the eight major sects of the Thunder Immortal Domain, is led by its Sect Master, Gu Du Po Yun who was an old brother-in-arms with my father in his days of battling in the Immortal Domain. Although he is nominally a subordinate, they are in fact friends."

"Gu Du Po Yun has a son named Du Gu Si. Exceptionally gifted and uniquely handsome, Du Gu Si has achieved remarkable success at a young age. He is known as the Son of North Profound, one of the Three Thunder Heroes."

"Thanks to the relationship between my father and Uncle Du Gu, we have had many interactions. Therefore, I grew up with Du Gu Si and we are as close as siblings, a perfect example of childhood sweethearts."

"Because I had a good relationship with Weijiao, every time Du Gu Si visited, I would invite her to join us, unaware that this would sow the seeds of disaster."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen could roughly infer the ensuing storyline.

After all, unrequited love, bitter hatred borne out of jealousy and the resulting entanglements have been countless since ancient times.

They’ve been overdone in TV dramas.

Lin Chen could offhandedly recount at least ten to twenty such storylines where jealousy led to bloodshed in love triangles.

"Weijiao fell in love with Du Gu Si, but Du Gu Si likes you. Weijiao, filled with hatred for you out of love, believed that she could have Du Gu Si to herself if she killed you, and thus plotted against you, right?"

Xuanji Fairy looked at Lin Chen, a strange look in her eyes: "Doesn’t it sound absurd?"

Lin Chen forced a smile: "Indeed, it’s not an unexpected story."

Xuanji Fairy sighed: "Du Gu Si probably regards me more as a sister, but both my father and Uncle Du Gu wish for us to become a Daoist couple. I myself wouldn’t exactly resist, as Du Gu Si is quite familiar to me and highly accomplished. He’s also been very kind towards me."

Lin Chen nodded in understanding.

Marriage seldom involves earth-shattering love; it’s more about matching backgrounds and compatible views. With time, romantic feelings often evolve into familial love.

At that point, it might be difficult for each to articulate how much they love the other. But if one were to claim they did not love each other, they’d certainly take great offense.

Having grown up with Du Gu Si as childhood sweethearts, Xuanji Fairy knew him inside and out. Given Du Gu Si’s kindness towards her, she’d feel perfectly safe marrying a man like him.

"Weijiao fell for Du Gu Si, and when she learned that I was considering accepting the match and being with Du Gu Si, she began to hate me. She believed that without me, she could easily win Du Gu Si’s heart."

"She tricked me into descending to the Lower Realm and then tried to kill me in the Valley of Death. Out of hatred for me, and fear of my potential resurrection, she tried every possible means to disperse and suppress me."

Unable to resist asking, Lin Chen inquired: "In the end, did she get together with Du Gu Si?"

With a bitter smile, Xuanji Fairy replied: "Yes, she succeeded. After I disappeared, she used the excuse of looking for me to spend time alone with Du Gu Si. While he was grieving and distraught, she took the initiative and gave herself to him, ultimately ending up together."

Lin Chen was speechless. Truly, this was a tale of a scheming woman’s rise to power.

"However, a leopard cannot change its spots. After getting together with Du Gu Si, she gradually exposed her true nature. Although they remained husband and wife in name, Du Gu Si and she hardly interacted. They led separate lives and pursued their own cultivation."

"As Du Gu Si’s wife, she joined the North Profound Sect. Through various means and her own outstanding cultivation talent, she now holds great power within the sect, despite having separated from Du Gu Si."

Lin Chen asked: "Was the severing of the Ascending Immortal Path her doing?"

Xuanji Fairy responded: "Yes, it was her plan. But the one who severed the path is named Gao Yuan Gong, not one of her subordinates, but a victim of her scheme."

"She lured Gao Yuan Gong’s child to the Lower Realm, where he died in the Barren Wilderness. Enraged, Gao Yuan Gong turned the Wilderness into a bloody battlefield, ultimately severing the Ascending Immortal Path."

Lin Chen blinked, a piece of information suddenly surfacing in his mind.

The Path of Refinement...

A big shot’s child was refined by the Path of Refinement...

The Path of Refinement was hunted down...

The passage was severed...

Lin Chen’s eyes widened: "Was Gao Yuan Gong’s son killed by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, known for their proficiency in the Path of Refinement? The Ghost Sect and other sects who also practised the Path of Refinement were cornered and slaughtered, almost causing the Path of Refinement to disappear..."

"Right."

Xuanji Fairy appeared slightly surprised: "You are aware of this?"

Lin Chen forced a smile: "I’ve heard some scattered legends before, but your words now have made me remember. All pieces are coming together."

Pausing for a moment, Lin Chen then said hopefully: "It seems that now, whether it’s Gao Yuan Gong, Du Gu Si, or your father, all of them have been deceived by Weijiao. Once they know the truth, they should turn her into ashes, right?"

With a bitter smile, Xuanji Fairy replied: "After ten thousand years, things change, just as the saying goes, ’Time brings great changes to the world.’ Weijiao now holds enormous influence. As the wife of Du Gu Si and mother of his child, Du Gu Si may not have the heart to kill her. Gao Yuan Gong, despite his great strength, may not be capable of dealing with her as she is now. As for my father, according to her memory, he went to attend the North Ming Domain Convention five hundred years ago and has not returned since..."
