How Did You Find Your Way Here?

Night had fallen.

After finishing his evening meal.

Li Xun wandered aimlessly in the rear garden of the Qin Residence.

His divine sense spread out, covering an area of just over two hundred meters in radius. This distance was almost the limit; expanding it further could easily attract the attention of some powerful individuals within the Qin Residence.

After all.

Late at night, a person releasing their divine sense throughout the Qin Residence and wandering around could lead others to suspect that Li Xun was investigating the Qin Residence's secrets.

Half an hour passed.

Li Xun halted his steps and let out a sigh.

It had to be said.

The Qin Family truly deserved its reputation as the foremost family in Fallen Leaf City. This mansion was simply too vast. Half an hour had gone by, and he still hadn't finished strolling around one full circuit.

At this moment.

Li Xun couldn't help but doubt whether the range indicated by the system's prompt had, in fact, expanded.

Otherwise, he would have covered a radius of three thousand meters by now. How could he not find the person emitting the blue light?

Could it be…

As if he had realized something, Li Xun's heart suddenly tightened.

The person the system had reminded him about this morning, could they have left?

After all.

People are unpredictable; they are bound to wander. A whole day had passed, and who knew where the person alerted by the system might have gone by now.

If they had left the Qin Family or even the city itself, finding them wouldn't be so simple.

"I hope that person is still within the Qin Residence."

Li Xun thought to himself.

If it were a typical white investment, he wouldn't bother searching. After all, it wouldn't yield anything substantial. But the problem was that today's investment was blue.

The reward was innate divine power!

This was an exceptionally rare talent.

In terms of sheer strength, it might not be overwhelmingly powerful, as many unique body constitutions in the cultivation world possessed innate divine power as a trait.

However, for Li Xun, this talent was incredibly suitable.

After all, he practiced the art of the spear. Power and weight were crucial to his style. Adding innate divine power to the mix, a single thrust of his spear could virtually guarantee the demise of anyone at the same cultivation level.

"If I truly can't find them, I might have to ask Uncle Qin… Huh?"

Li Xun resumed his advance.

Suddenly.

He came to a stop, turning his head to the side.

There was a courtyard wall, and beyond the wall, a small lake. At the center of the lake, two young girls were present, one standing and one sitting, engaged in a hushed conversation.

One of the young girls was emitting a vibrant blue light from her body.

"At last, I've found you!"

A hint of a smile flashed in Li Xun's eyes. His divine sense swept the surroundings again, and soon he spotted the path leading to the small lake.

At the same time.

Inside a small pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Xiao Huan stood next to Qin Xueyi, chattering incessantly about something.

"Miss, did you notice how amazing Young Master was today? He didn't even move, yet he managed to injure the Chen Family's expert in a single strike."

"I heard from others that the Chen Family's expert is at the Profound Core Realm!"

"Do you know what kind of concept that is, Miss?"

"People like them could shake the entire Fallen Leaf City just by stomping their feet. But the Young Master defeated him without breaking a sweat. Can you imagine how incredible Young Master is?"

"Could he be at the Profound Core Realm, or maybe he's like the Family Leader, a Life-Death Realm expert?"

"Miss?"

"Miss?????"

Xiao Huan raised her voice by the last sentence.

Qin Xueyi immediately snapped back to reality and asked, "What were you saying just now?"

Xiao Huan: "...….."

"Miss, ever since you returned at noon today, you've seemed absent-minded. Are you thinking about the Young Master?" Xiao Huan leaned in, grinning mischievously.

"Mm...…"

Qin Xueyi absentmindedly nodded. She had drifted off again and hadn't actually heard what Xiao Huan was saying.

However…

Xiao Huan's earlier words had hit the mark.

Today, she had indeed been thinking about Li Xun, not for any other reason, but mainly out of bewilderment… and curiosity.

From her perspective based on her memories from her previous life.

Everything about Li Xun today was far from normal.

It was as if he had become an entirely different person.

Other than his appearance, there were hardly any similarities left. Even his temperament was completely different. Although Li Xun had been refined and courteous in her previous life, the otherworldly, all-encompassing demeanor he displayed today was something he had lacked back then.

Moreover, there was the matter of Li Xun's cultivation level. Wasn't he just entering the Qi Refining Realm? How could he defeat a Profound Core Realm expert in an instant?

Judging from the strength Li Xun had shown in that moment, Qin Xueyi estimated that he was at least at the late stage of the Spirit Connection Realm, if not stronger. Of course, she couldn't rule out the possibility of him being even stronger.

After all.

She didn't have divine sense yet, so she couldn't gauge the depth of Li Xun's power.

"Could my memories from my previous life all be illusions?"

Qin Xueyi was starting to question her existence.

She had just been reborn a day ago, and everything she had experienced today was completely different from her previous life. This led her to doubt whether everything from her past life might have been a dream.

But…

The memories spanning a hundred thousand years in her mind constantly reminded her that everything from her previous life was real, not a dream.

"No matter whether today's events are a result of my rebirth or not, one thing is certain: the course of events from my previous life has already begun to deviate."

"Which means the opportunities I remembered from my previous life might emerge earlier than expected, and the opportunities that were originally meant for me might not belong to me this time!"

Thinking to this point, Qin Xueyi felt a sense of urgency.

In her previous life, her meteoric rise was closely tied to the opportunities she had obtained along the way. Although some of those opportunities had little significance for her in this life, as she already had the memories of their contents stored in her mind, there were others that could change her physique or enhance her strength.

She needed to seize those opportunities!

"Xiao Huan!"

Qin Xueyi snapped back to attention. With a flick of her hand, a piece of paper appeared in her palm, densely covered with writing. She handed it to Xiao Huan and said,

"Go to the family treasury and see if you can find these medicinal ingredients. If you can't find them, go to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and buy them. Remember to be quick, I have an important use for them!"

"Alright."

Xiao Huan nodded. She glanced at the writing on the paper, recognizing many of the medicinal ingredients. However, when they were put together, she couldn't comprehend it.

Without dwelling on it too much, Xiao Huan turned and headed toward the Qin Family's family treasury.

But before she had taken more than a couple of steps.

Xiao Huan suddenly froze in place, her voice full of surprise:

"Young Master?"

"How did you find your way here?"

"Huh?"

Qin Xueyi turned her head upon hearing the voice.

She saw a figure approaching by the edge of the small lake—a man dressed in white, moving gracefully. His every action seemed to resonate with the rhythm of the heavens and the earth, as if he were a transcendent being descending from the celestial realms to the mortal world.
