Chapter 514: Chapter 514
Song You finally realized that the situation was very serious and quickly took out a mirror to look at herself.
"My face, how can it have such a thing!"
Her expression changed drastically, her blood surged, and many young talents from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect were staring at her, all with a look of amusement. Song You’s face turned bright red, looking both angry and embarrassed.
"What are you laughing at!" Song Jian suddenly spoke sternly, "It’s just a little joke from your junior sister. She’s young and naturally lively."
Song You felt that she had just joined the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and had already completely embarrassed herself.
Thinking this, her eyes uncontrollably filled with intense murderous intent.
"Dad! Why didn’t you tell me?"
Song Jian looked innocent and said, "What happened? I think it looks good. My daughter looks good no matter what."
She was so angry that she trembled all over and turned to leave.
Song Jian seemed to finally "react" and reached out to stop her.
"Youyou, were you playing a game with someone? It’s okay, your senior brothers and sisters won’t laugh at you."
"This is not a game."
Song You said through clenched teeth.
"Ah? Then who did this?" Song Jian said angrily, "Tell dad, and I will take care of it for you!"
"I need to wash this thing off first."
Song You still wanted to leave first and not let people continue to laugh at her.
"No need to wash, daddy will take care of it for you."
Song Jian used a spell to remove the big black turtle Qing Dai had drawn.
Afterward, Song Jian introduced a few of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s disciples to her.
Everyone’s attitude towards Song You was very cold; despite her being the Sect Leader’s daughter, her low cultivation and their first impression wasn’t too favorable.
Being the chosen disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, they all had a certain arrogance because of their high talent and prestigious backgrounds.
"Sect Leader, I need to go back to my cultivation, I will take my leave now."
Not many words had been said before someone suggested leaving.
Once one person suggested leaving, the others also left in succession.
"Dad, do they not like me?"
"How could that be, there’s a big competition coming up in the sect, their masters are very strict with their cultivation."
Song You saw the group leave the hall, chatting and laughing once they were outside, nothing like their previous aloofness, and she felt somewhat out of place.
Song Jian said affectionately, "After the big competition, you can get to know them better."
Then, Song Jian added, "Dear daughter, the method you used to come here before, can it still be used? Although your mother has passed away, I still want to offer incense to her."
Song You tensed up and quickly said, "Previously, it was the Luoshui Clan’s members who helped me come here, I don’t know what method they used."
"Isn’t there a friend from the Luoshui Clan who came with you? Take me to meet him."
Song Jian looked sorrowful, "I haven’t seen your mother for over twenty years, and to think we ended up separated by life and death, such is the irony of fate. I must go offer her a stick of incense, or else I can’t get over it."
As he spoke, tears appeared in Song Jian’s eyes.
Seeing him , Song You couldn’t help but feel moved.
After all, in her world, Song Jian was the first elder to dote on her so much.
"Then I’ll go ask my friend for you."
Song You had already informed Guan Lin, so she didn’t mind letting Song Jian meet him.
"He is currently at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect; I’ll bring him here."
Song You stood up to find Guan Lin.
After finding Guan Lin, she hesitated for a long time before deciding to tell him about the Teleportation Array.
Originally, she didn’t want Song Jian to know, but she felt sympathy for Song Jian.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to bring her clan members over.
Given Song Jian’s affection for her, he would surely appreciate the kindness of the Luoshui Clan and would definitely bring her clan members to this world.
But could they encounter Qin Wan and that girl on the way to that world?
It didn’t seem likely, right?
Besides, they weren’t from Kunlun Mountain and had probably left there by now.
The risk could be considered minimal.
Compared to this risk, she needed to quickly bring her clan members over and help them develop here.
With so many talented individuals in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, she seemed unable to blend in.
Only the Luoshui Clan was wholeheartedly loyal to her.
Once the clan members grew stronger, they could assist her in handling matters in the future.
Before long, Song You brought Guan Lin to meet Song Jian.
After asking a few questions, Guan Lin revealed the details about the Array.
As a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage, Song Jian could visualize a rough concept of the Array in his mind, simply based on Guan Lin’s brief description of the key points.
Soon, he had grasped the Array’s operational principle.
"This Array," Song Jian frowned, "isn’t exactly righteous."
The lack of righteousness he referred to naturally meant that the Array violated certain rules of the Heavenly Dao.
This Array required a living person’s soul as a sacrifice.
Once the souls were sacrificed, those people would vanish without a trace, forever lost.
Only Evil Cultivators would use such an Array, as they didn’t care about karmic repercussions.
Song You promptly said, "Indeed, it’s not a good Array. I initially wanted to stop the Luoshui Clan, but they were adamant about coming to this world.
If we need to go back to pay respects to our mother with incense, I don’t think this seems right."
Song Jian sighed deeply, "What should we do? Does this mean I won’t even get to see your mother’s ashes?"
"There’s actually another way."
Song You gave Guan Lin a cue with her eyes, and Guan Lin spoke up.
"That is to find the Holy Object lost by the Luoshui Clan. Over twenty years ago, a person from the Xuanhai World infiltrated the Luoshui Clan, deceived our then Clan Leader, and took the Holy Object.
The Holy Object of the Luoshui Clan, passed down from our ancestors and comparable to a Divine Artifact, could unleash extremely powerful energy when activated with the clan members’ blood, which is enough to operate the Array."
Song Jian’s eyes lit up, "Then do you know where this Holy Object is?"
"I don’t know that. I only know that the thief was called Song Huaiyi."
Song Jian suddenly raised his voice.
He had actually guessed who it was, and at this moment was merely playing along with Song You’s act.
After Song You came to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, she had been investigating someone named Song Huaiyi, but people in the Sect claimed not to know him.
Seeing Song Jian’s reaction, she quickly inquired, "Dad, do you know this person?"
"Yes, Song Huaiyi is my cousin, also the Seventh Elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."
"The Seventh Elder? I remember the Seventh Elder had a different name."
"He is called Song Boyi, styled Huaiyi. Very few people in the sect know his style name. I grew up with him, and that’s how I know it."
"So that’s how it is."
Song You slightly narrowed her eyes, hiding the gleam within them. Her hand hanging by her side clenched uncontrollably.
She had finally found that faithless man; she must seek justice for her mother!
But she couldn’t be hasty now.
Song Boyi was an elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and possessed high cultivation; she wasn’t his match yet.
Song You looked up at Song Jian, having regained her calm demeanor, "Dad, why don’t you ask the Seventh Elder to lend us the Holy Object? After we return from the Different World, you can give it back to him."
