With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

"I heard that Junior Sister Lin has woken up, so I came to see her," Azhen said. "I didn't expect the situation to be so serious this time. It's quite a coincidence that we're in the same boat; we always seem to be in the same boat."

When she said this, Azhen's expression was perfectly normal, as if she were simply stating a fact.

Aside from Lin Ya, no one else thought much of what she was saying, since they had met twice already, so it was perfectly normal for it to be mentioned.

Lin Ya felt a moment of panic, but seeing that no one thought much of it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's no wonder Yunzhen brought this up. Indeed, both of them had problems at the same time, and the other party lost to her three times. It's inevitable that they would pay attention to her, so it's unlikely that they discovered something.

If Yunzhen knew the truth, she wouldn't be reacting like this at all.

What the other party should be worried about right now is probably the mental state that's hindering their advancement to the Nascent Soul stage. If it weren't for the problem with her mental state, how could Yun Zhen, with her talent, possibly fail in her attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?
With this thought in mind, Lin Ya's heart calmed down.

"Perhaps this is fate. My relationship with Senior Sister Yun is destined," Lin Ya said. She had just woken up, but she didn't look seriously injured. Her face had been pale earlier because she couldn't accept that her cultivation level had dropped again. In fact, after a few days of rest, her body was perfectly fine.

[Will Yun Zhen succeed in her next attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?] Lin Ya asked the system in her mind. [What will I do if she fails again? I can't keep being controlled by others like this.]

"Does the host mean to eliminate her beforehand?" the system asked. "But given Yun Zhen's status, it won't be easy to do it. At least, you yourself cannot do it, and the people you've met in the sect are unlikely to help you."

"Of course I know that!" Lin Ya said, somewhat exasperated. "But if we don't get rid of her, are we really going to keep dragging this on? We have to think of something. You're so resourceful, don't you have any other ideas?"

"Host, I really can't do that. If I make a move, the two of us will be the first to get hurt, and we'll both be finished." The system said this, which startled Lin Ya.

why?
[Why? This is the first time I've heard you say this. Why can't you directly target Yun Zhen? Is there a reason? Does she have some kind of background, or are you facing some kind of restriction?] In an instant, Lin Ya made many guesses, but her heart sank to the bottom. For the first time, she felt that the system's connection to her might not be so simple.

The system said: "[This is indeed a limitation. If I could do whatever I wanted, there would be no need to bind myself to a host, wouldn't you say?]"

"So that's how it is." Hearing this, Lin Ya felt a little relieved. That made sense; those strange guesses earlier had really startled her.

Azhen seemed to be deep in thought; the system indeed had significant problems.

She had some guesses about the limitations mentioned by the system; could they be from the Heavenly Dao?
The actions that the system bound Lin Ya to clearly exploited a loophole in the Heavenly Dao. Once something goes too far and is easily detected by the Heavenly Dao, it will indeed be punished.

[Host, perhaps you should wait a little longer. If Yun Zhen continues to cause problems and it becomes too much of a burden on you, then you'll have no choice but to find a way to eliminate her. You certainly can't do it yourself, nor can you ask the sect for help, but the cultivation world is full of unpredictable events; you just need to wait for an opportunity.]

"That's all we can do for now," Lin Ya said. It seems she needs to spend more time with Yun Zhen, especially during her training trips. If a good opportunity arises, she can seize it and make her move.

Of course, she had to succeed on her first strike, or she would get herself into trouble.

It's best not to do it yourself; it's better to use someone else to do the dirty work.

Her first thought was of someone else, Wen Nanfeng's other side—Yin Yu. Yin Yu did give off a dangerous vibe, but he definitely meant her no harm.

Hearing Yi Er's plan of one person, one system, A-Zhou was very satisfied, and then changed the subject: "I heard from Ling Fang that Junior Sister Lin is also learning weapon crafting?"

"Yes, I didn't expect Senior Sister Yun to know too. I usually have nothing to do, and I suddenly felt that weapon crafting could be a good way to pass the time. I'm also a little interested in it and plan to learn it. I don't know if I have any talent yet. But I can understand those weapon crafting manuals I've been looking at. Now that I've awakened, I plan to find an opportunity to try it out."

Lin Ya suddenly sighed: "I've encountered some problems in my cultivation, which I can't solve for the time being. I also want to learn more other things."

“That’s true,” Azhen replied. “However, weapon crafting requires a high level of cultivation. Junior Sister Lin should prepare herself. It would be best if she could recover to the Foundation Establishment stage before crafting weapons.”

It would be a joke if you couldn't sustain the spiritual energy halfway through the process.

Low-grade magic weapons can be controlled with the help of external objects, but high-grade magic weapons require the refiner to precisely control the fire. Even if the fire is not their own alchemical fire, the temperature of the furnace must be controlled throughout the process.

Although Lin Ya had read many books on weapon crafting, she did not start from the beginner level.

For her, reading those books was simply a matter of going through them herself, since she was absorbing Mo Wuchen's talent for weapon crafting and didn't need to start from scratch like others.

Therefore, she did not understand what Azhen meant.

None of the people present had any experience in weapon crafting, so they were naturally unaware of the situation.

Having gotten what she wanted, Azhen didn't plan to linger any longer. Her gaze swept over Wen Nanfeng, who had remained silent the entire time. Today, this junior brother was unusually quiet, even excessively so.

Something still seemed off. It was the same person, but she sensed another pair of eyes watching her from the direction of Wen Nanfeng, just like last time.

Did Wen Nanfeng really obtain a personal old man in the secret realm?

"Junior sister, what's wrong?" Wen Nanfeng was a little confused by Azhen's gaze. In fact, he had been a little dazed just now, and he didn't know why. Recently, he would occasionally feel that he was confused and lost at certain times, as if he was having a dream.

He knew exactly what he had done, but he felt a little dazed and unreal. He had been thinking about these things just now and had no interest in saying anything more.

Moreover, having learned a lesson from his junior sister's prowess and been punished by their master, he knew that he had no reason to blame her until she actually did something wrong to Lin Ya. Otherwise, he might be punished again by being made to reflect on his mistakes in the corner.

Last time, he was only punished for three months because it was close to the opening time of the Heavenly Vault Secret Realm. If it weren't for the Heavenly Vault Secret Realm, it would probably be at least three years.

He was very worried about his junior sister Lin, who was frequently having problems, and felt he should be by her side now. (End of Chapter)
