Eastern Profound Domain, Lingzhou.
Yunmiao Pavilion.
Although this faction does not bear the title of a Sacred Land, its foundation and strength are considered top-tier throughout the entire Eastern Profound Domain.
However, because Yunmiao Pavilion conducts itself in a low-key manner, has relatively few disciples, and consists entirely of female cultivators, its influence is noticeably weaker compared to other first-rate powers.
At this moment, within Yunmiao Pavilion, inside the Feiyun Hall—
Dantai Xuanyin slowly closed the black notebook in her hands and gently stroked the cover with her jade-like fingers.
On the cover were written the words:
"Chu Ge's Diary — Dantai Xuanyin's Copy."
The emotions stirred up by the contents of the diary gradually settled. Dantai Xuanyin softly parted her crimson lips:
"Chu Ge…"
She recalled a letter her aunt had sent her not long ago, in which this name seemed to have been mentioned.
At the time, she had not paid much attention to it, only feeling puzzled by the sudden invitation asking her to go to the Taihuang Sacred Land to watch the grand competition.
"And Ye Chen…"
She softly uttered another name, her tone somewhat complicated.
She truly had not expected that the marriage partner she had once strongly rejected would actually be a Child of Fortune favored by heaven and earth, blessed with immense destiny.
However, even now that she knew all this, she felt not the slightest bit of regret over her past annulment of that engagement.
On the contrary—after reading the diary—
Dantai Xuanyin developed an intense killing intent toward this "former fiancé" who would very likely pose a threat to her and the Dantai family behind her in the future!
At the same time, she also felt a trace of curiosity and gratitude toward the unseen owner of the diary, Chu Ge.
Her curiosity stemmed from Chu Ge's identity and the many extraordinary mysteries surrounding him.
Her gratitude, on the other hand, came from the fact that—if not for Chu Ge's appearance as a variable that suppressed Ye Chen, this Child of Fortune—
by the time either she or the Dantai family confronted Ye Chen, he would likely have already fully risen to power. At that point, it would all have been far too late.
While Dantai Xuanyin was lost in thought because of the diary copy—
She failed to notice that her personal maid, Xiao Qian—who had followed and served her since childhood—was currently staring at her with a pair of bright, watery eyes in a most peculiar manner.
'Miss hasn't moved for a long time, and she's even muttering to herself… Could it be that something went wrong with her cultivation recently?'
the maid Xiao Qian worried silently.
She really could not make sense of it. Clearly, her miss wasn't holding anything in her hands, yet she had been staring blankly at her palms for quite some time, her expression changing from moment to moment.
One second she was frowning, the next second she was smiling—this truly made Xiao Qian uneasy.
Like Dantai Xuanyin, there were many women who, due to the sudden appearance of the diary copy and its contents, developed curiosity toward Chu Ge.
Some of them chose to temporarily adopt a wait-and-see attitude, taking the diary's contents with a grain of salt.
Others had already turned their curiosity into action, beginning to inquire about Chu Ge's name.
There were even those who, because they were not too far away, had already made plans to head for the Taihuang Sacred Land.
Naturally, Chu Ge himself was completely unaware of all this.
He merely continued to write in his diary.
[I just upgraded the diary. A lottery function was added—it can draw items that have appeared in this world up to now, and there's also a small chance to draw items from the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms.]
[I'm really curious… what kind of things will appear? Putting this world aside, there are quite a few incredible treasures in the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms…]
[Forget it, I'm done writing! Time to draw the lottery!]
Chu Ge casually wrote a few more lines, then directly stopped for the day.
Rubbing his hands together, he waited for the daily diary settlement that was about to arrive.
On the other side, Su Lingyuan was also eagerly and happily waiting for the diary settlement.
