At this moment, Ye Yu's serious expression made Ran Jingjing suddenly smile.
She then started talking about the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag.
Thirty thousand years ago, when Ran Jingjing had ascended to the Ghost Immortal realm, she had refined this artifact as her Life-bound Dharma treasure.
She’d used it for a long time, growing very comfortable with it.
However, later during a battle against a powerful enemy—
Ran Jingjing was betrayed by her closest friend.
Not only was the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag stolen, but she was also severely poisoned, greatly weakening her strength.
Back then, everyone assumed Ran Jingjing would die by her enemy's hand.
But unexpectedly, she survived by using a secret technique.
Afterward, Ran Jingjing went into seclusion to recover.
One hundred years later, the first thing she did upon emerging was to seek revenge against that friend.
No matter the reason, betrayal deserved death!
Yet what Ran Jingjing discovered instead was news of her friend's death.
This had greatly surprised her.
But her friend was dead—what about the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag?
Because its imprint had been erased—
—Ran Jingjing could no longer sense its location at all.
Just as she prepared to keep searching—
—the entire Ghost Realm fell into turmoil.
All the powerful ghosts either entered deep sleep or mysteriously vanished.
No one knew exactly why.
Fortunately, Ran Jingjing had only fallen asleep.
She awoke half a year ago—
—and coincidentally heard news about the Xin family—
—including their acquisition of the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag from a secret realm.
Thus, Ran Jingjing visited the Xin family in Chouyang City, even meeting Xin Wan'en personally.
To her disappointment—
—none of them carried the aura of the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag.
Ran Jingjing suspected the flag might have been hidden by someone from the Burial Flower Ghost Mansion.
Perhaps that's why Xin Wan'en hadn't found it even after destroying their sect.
With no other choice, Ran Jingjing headed towards the Burial Flower Ghost Mansion once more—
—but unexpectedly encountered Ye Yu midway.
She immediately felt the Myriad Poison Jade Bone Flag's aura emanating from him—
—and thus boldly guessed he was likely Xin Wan'en's disciple, Ye Yu!
Now, it appeared her guess had indeed been correct.
After listening to Ran Jingjing's entire explanation, Ye Yu coldly asked:
"Do you want me to praise your meticulous deduction?"
"Or are you expecting me to compliment your accurate guess?"
Ran Jingjing shook her head.
"Neither."
"What I want to tell you is, ever since meeting Xin Wan'en, I've become very interested in you!"
"The story of the Xin family in Chouyang City is quite legendary."
"But Xin Wan'en herself is only at the Ascension realm, incapable of doing much on her own."
"Yet rumors outside say, whether killing the Chu family's ancestor in Xianyin City or destroying Cao Yongyu of the Burial Flower Ghost Mansion—"
"—you two went together as master and disciple."
"So, the only person truly capable of helping Xin Wan'en get revenge is you."
"In my eyes, your story is far more legendary than that of the Xin family!"
"Accepted as Xin Wan'en’s disciple at age eight, every ghost in Chouyang City envied your incredible luck."
"But who could have thought you'd waste your talent entirely—"
"—not practicing ghost arts at all."
"By age eighteen, you’d barely reached the Foundation Establishment realm."
"Later, when the Xin family declined, and Xin Wan'en’s soul and origin were damaged—"
"—you remained faithfully by her side."
"Three years later, Xin Wan'en rose powerfully, becoming legendary."
"Every ghost thought you'd just continue living a carefree life, wasting your talent again."
"But I didn't think so."
"If my calculations are correct, you shouldn't even be twenty-two years old yet, right?"
