Chapter 60: Aren't Twins Alluring?
"I'll handle it myself, I'll choose option one."
Lu Yu remembered that in the normal progression of the story, it should have been Phoenix taking Lin Zhaoyu to deal with Yan Shiluo, the weak opponent.
However, in this simulation, his presence had altered the course of events. He had become Phoenix's top disciple, and Lin Zhaoyu had been under his protection in the simulation for years. Lu Yu felt compelled to step in this time because Lin Zhaoyu probably couldn't defeat Yan Shiluo.
There was another reason for choosing to take action himself.
Lu Yu felt that both of the other options were peculiar. One was for Phoenix to go alone and deal with Yan Shiluo, and the other was for Lin Zhaoyu and Su Mei to go. No matter how he thought about it, Lu Yu found something off about both choices.
Allowing Phoenix to go alone wouldn't pose much of a problem, but since she had been brought back for a reason, what was the point of her return if she was meant to handle it alone?
Lu Yu had a feeling that if he chose that option, something significant would likely occur after Phoenix defeated Yan Shiluo. Whatever it was, it definitely wouldn't be a favorable outcome.
As for sending Lin Zhaoyu and Su Mei, the two girls, to deal with the situation... well...
Just thinking about it made Lu Yu feel uneasy. Given the unpredictable nature of this peculiar system, Lu Yu highly suspected that it might throw in some unexpected plot twists for those two girls.
Lin Zhaoyu didn't have much practical experience despite her presence, and Su Mei was even younger. She was only five years old now. The idea of sending a five-year-old Su Mei and Lin Zhaoyu, who hadn't seen much combat, to confront Yan Shiluo? Lu Yu wasn't foolish enough to make that choice.
[After discussing with Phoenix, you decided to personally go and take care of Yan Shiluo, this audacious challenger to your master's authority. Phoenix is confident in your skills, but considering your health, she also decided to send Lin Zhaoyu and Su Mei along with you. Lin Zhaoyu will take care of your daily needs, while Su Mei is meant to gain more experience.]
[You, together with Lin Zhaoyu and Su Mei, arrived at Taixu Mountain, where a Sacred Fire Conference is being held. Some person who considers themselves invincible just defeated "Qingmu Daoist" Li Meng'an of Ziyang Mountain and "Unquenchable Resentment" Cui Yuanpeng of the Giant Whale Gang. After defeating these two minor characters, Yan Shiluo was now on stage boasting about who else dared to challenge him. However, as you sensed the intense corruption emanating from Yan Shiluo, you realized something was amiss. This self-proclaimed second to none, Yan Shiluo, seemed to be more than just an empty title.
Phoenix wasn't particularly concerned about being number one in the world. She sent you down the mountain mainly to figure out what was going on with Yan Shiluo.
At this point, Yan Shiluo had already fallen into madness. After careful consideration, you concluded that if left unchecked, this weakling could potentially become a catastrophe. Thus, you arranged for Lin Zhaoyu to help Su Mei evacuate the crowd while you stepped onto the stage to challenge Yan Shiluo. After an intense battle, you roasted Yan Shiluo, but due to his mastery, he triggered the "Jade-Green Divine Art," causing a cataclysmic reaction of emperor-level destruction before he died.
At a critical moment, you suddenly awakened the power of the "Honkai Constitution." You instantly understood the essence of Honkai energy and, upon comprehending its nature, you figured out how to shield the onlookers at Taixu Mountain from being contaminated by Honkai energy.
Remembering Phoenix's advice, you chose not to dodge Yan Shiluo's ultimate move in order to protect the crowd. With all your might, you unleashed the "Divine Thunder Sword Art" to neutralize the cataclysmic reaction triggered by Yan Shiluo.
After the battle, you suffered severe internal injuries. The divine fire ignited by the "Jade-Green Divine Art" left irreversible scars on your body.
Yan Shiluo's death led to the fragmentation of the Sacred Fire Sect. Lin Zhaoyu brought the sect's holy maidens, Jiang Wanxi and Jiang Wanru, to you. These two girls had good talents. After Yan Shiluo fell into madness, the entire Sacred Fire Sect was in chaos. Your actions rescued these unfortunate sisters. In gratitude, they chose to join the Taixu Sword Sect. Su Mei also brought a young girl named Cheng Lingshuang to you. Su Mei informed you that Cheng Lingshuang was also a gifted martial arts genius. After discussing it, you decided to bring Cheng Lingshuang into the Taixu Sword Sect as well.
You successfully saved everyone at Taixu Mountain. Your feat of killing Yan Shiluo became legendary among the people. You became the acknowledged second in the martial world, with only your invincible master, Phoenix, above you.]
[Talent "True Self" Activated: You have acquired the Honkai Constitution.]
"Not bad, not bad. Although I got hurt again, this time I prevented Jiang Wanxi, Jiang Wanru, and Cheng Lingshuang from being contaminated by Honkai energy. I definitely made a profit from this! So, hopefully, there won't be a situation where Jiang Wanru is considered to have fallen into madness due to Honkai energy."
[At 28 years old in the Shenzhou calendar, Jiang Wanxi, Jiang Wanru, and Cheng Lingshuang formally became the fourth, fifth, and sixth disciples of Phoenix, respectively, in the Taixu Sword Sect. The Jiang sisters ranked fourth and fifth, while Cheng Lingshuang was sixth. Your three new junior sisters were all talented and intelligent. They greatly appreciated their senior brother who rescued them from the Sacred Fire Sect. In the same year, Phoenix continued her travels around Shenzhou to find disciples. Due to your injuries, she ordered you not to leave Taixu Mountain without reason. With nothing else to do, you involuntarily devoted yourself to practicing martial arts.]
[At 29 years old, due to Phoenix's orders, you could no longer leave Taixu Mountain casually. You could only continue guiding your junior sisters in martial arts training. Lin Zhaoyu, who had grown up, began to gradually follow Phoenix on missions outside the mountain. In that year, Phoenix brought back a new disciple, a young boy named Ma Yanqing, who joined the Taixu Sword Sect. This boy did things unconventionally, not adhering to common norms. You admired Ma Yanqing's attitude, and he was also quite interested in you, the senior brother who had long been renowned in the martial world. The two of you quickly became good friends.]
[At 30 years old, you spent your days staying on Taixu Mountain, accompanying your junior sisters and junior brother in their martial arts training. Over time, you began to feel somewhat distant from it all
. One day, Su Mei suggested that you take a break from the mountain to relax. You had been under Phoenix's orders not to leave the mountain due to your health for the past two years. Your injuries from Wangshan seemed to have fully healed, and after your request, Phoenix finally granted you permission to leave the mountain.
Even though you were now widely recognized as the second strongest in the martial world, Phoenix still had concerns about your safety traveling alone. She decided to assign a disciple to accompany you on your journey. Whom do you choose?]
[Choose Ma Yanqing: We're both men, and real men seek adventure. Let's go, Ma Yanqing, I'll take you flying!]
[Choose Lin Zhaoyu: Two decades together, we know each other well. Lin Zhaoyu, why don't we ride side by side?]
[Choose Su Mei: Senior brother, choose me, choose me!]
[Choose the Jiang Sisters: Only a child would choose one person. Adults prefer twins!]
[Choose to travel alone: Get lost, get lost, get lost! I, Lu Yu, am an immortal cultivator. I have no interest in such worldly desires!]
