Yu Zhe had indeed heard his cheap Master Nan tianyong, who had died in his hands, mention the soul-searching technique. This was a secret technique that the South Heaven Gate had specially learned and cultivated when he had been serving in the law enforcement Hall in the early days. It could directly read the memories of other people from their divine sense.
In front of him, there was no secret to speak of. Of course, this secret skill could only be used when the other party lost the power to resist, and the strength of the other party’s consciousness must be lower than the user’s own. Once it was used, the target’s consciousness would collapse. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would only become a muddleheaded fool.
Yu Zhe knew very well that if he continued to deceive them like this, the southern Heaven Gate might really take action in a fit of anger. At that time, let alone snatching the star inkstone, he might not even be able to live past today. Even if he was lucky, he would at most become a fool. Then what hope would he have left?
For a moment, Yu Zhe was so scared that he was sweating like rain!
Although he wanted to make up another lie and continue to cover up the secret of the star inkstone, under the pressure of the South Heaven Gate, even a cunning person like Yu Zhe’s mind was completely blank!
It was easy to make up a lie, but it was impossible to make it perfect in a short time. Once the southern Heaven Gate couldn’t find any flaws, Yu Zhe would be finished today. With his strength, he couldn’t escape from the southern Heaven Gate.
At this moment, Yu Zhe was so regretful that even his intestines turned green. He wished that he could give himself eighteen mouths! What kind of person was the South Heaven Gate? why did he want to use him in the first place?
This was great. He didn’t get any benefits at all and instead, he got himself into trouble!
“Are you done thinking? If you don’t want to say it, then don’t blame this Lord for not considering our relationship as martial nephews!” As Southern Heaven Gate spoke, he was about to attack. There was no one around, so there was nothing to worry about.
Yu Zhe jumped in fright. He didn’t dare to have any more hesitation and quickly said,””Martial uncle, please wait. It’s not that this disciple is deliberately hiding it. It’s just that this matter is a long story and I’m afraid of wasting martial uncle’s time. Now that martial uncle wants to hear it, this disciple will not dare to hide anything.”
“Alright, speak.” Only then did Southern Heaven Gate’s expression ease up a little.
Words could lie, but he never used the soul-searching technique. If it wasn’t for the fact that the soul-searching technique was harmful to one’s spiritual sense and couldn’t be used frequently, he wouldn’t care about Yu Zhe’s life. He would’ve probably taken action long ago.
However, Yu Zhe didn’t know that his life was more important. In the end, he had no choice but to tell the whole story to the southern Heaven Gate, including the star inkstone. He only omitted the fact that Nan tianyong had died in his hands.
With something like the star inkstone to attract attention, the southern Heaven Gate would not care about this secret at all. After hearing about the use of the star inkstone, the eyes of this high and mighty senior disciple of the soaring Sky Pavilion’s manager instantly lit up!
“Star inkstone. Martial nephew, are you sure that this thing can help one advance to the Jindan stage and can even make a perfect breakthrough, allowing the cultivator to become the strongest Jindan expert?” South Heaven Gate said in an urgent tone.
Although he was far above Yu Zhe in terms of experience and qualifications, he was not like Yu Zhe who had spent three years in the library and read almost all the ancient books. It was not strange that he did not know the use of the star inkstone.
“Reporting to martial uncle, I can’t guarantee that it really has such a wondrous effect, but it is indeed recorded in the ancient books.” Although Yu Zhe’s heart was bleeding, he still replied respectfully.
Since the news of the star inkstone had already been leaked, then the star inkstone that he had been thinking about was definitely not related to him anymore. Thus, Yu Zhe made up his mind to do his best to please the southern sky Gate. Even if he couldn’t dream of the star inkstone, he at least had to get the minor phaseless magic art from him, otherwise, he would really suffer a huge loss.
“Well, the ancient books in the library Pavilion are all well-documented classics. Since it’s recorded in this way, there shouldn’t be too much discrepancy. To be able to make people the strongest Jindan stage master, it’s simply a rare treasure in the world!” Even the shrewdness of the southern Heaven Gate couldn’t hide the greed on their faces.
For something like the star inkstone, it was impossible for any cultivator below the Golden core stage to not be tempted by it. No matter how deep their background was, they were no exception!
After a moment of excitement, South Heaven Gate suddenly smacked his head and said,””That’s right! Originally, I wasn’t sure if this matter was related to Xu lingchong, but now that it involves a treasure like the star inkstone that can only be found by chance, everything makes sense!”
“Eh? This disciple is slow-witted, please enlighten me, uncle master. ” At this moment, Yu Zhe was still immersed in the grief of not being able to obtain the star inkstone. He didn’t even think of this.
“Think about it, martial nephew. If you and I want the star inkstone, and if that Lin er wants it, does that mean that young master Xu lingchong doesn’t want it as well?” Southern Heaven Gate asked.
“Of course I want it too. Whoever gets it has the chance to become the strongest Jindan stage expert!” Yu Zhe nodded his head firmly. A treasure like the star inkstone was an existence that was above all forces and backgrounds. Even the second generation of cultivators with the most profound background couldn’t resist its temptation, and Xu lingchong was naturally no exception.
“That’s why, this also indirectly proves that Kang Zhaoming is Lin er. I suspect that Kang Zhaoming’s stealing the star inkstone was all Xu lingchong’s doing. This is the only reason that can explain why the two of them teamed up to lie to us!” South Heaven Gate said through gritted teeth.
“Martial uncle is wise!” Yu Zhe didn’t say a word and started to flatter them. He didn’t care if Southern Heaven Gate’s speculations were reasonable or not. The only thing he needed to do now was to please Southern Heaven Gate.
“No wonder that Xu lingchong dared to openly challenge me today. It turns out that he has the star inkstone as his backing and doesn’t have me in his eyes!” South Heaven Gate said through gritted teeth.
However, he immediately recalled Shangguan LAN ‘er’s reaction when he visited Shangguan Tianhua the other day. It seemed that she was also deliberately helping to hide Lin er’s identity. Moreover, the fact that Xu lingchong was pursuing Shangguan LAN’ er was well known in the rising Sky Pavilion.
Southern Heaven Gate couldn’t help but guess that this miss Shangguan was involved in this matter and that Xu lingchong had gotten the star inkstone to please her.
It was not impossible, because it would be miss Shangguan’s birthday soon. It was very likely that Xu lingchong would use the star inkstone as a gift to please miss Shangguan! Although star inkstones were rare, if he could become Shangguan Tianhua’s grandson-in-law, the price of one star inkstone would definitely not be a loss!
People were like this. Once they thought in the wrong way, some specious things would become more and more the same, and even many other things would jump out to prove it. The so-called “those who are involved can’t see clearly,” this was a kind of self-deception, and the southern Heaven Gate was like this now.
