That girl has a really good eye for people!

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully executing the true culprit of the Qi Family Annihilation Case. You are rewarded with 1,500 Counterattack Points, the top-grade defensive Magical Artifact Golden Ao Bell, and the new talent [Dao Heart Clarity]..."

Along with a familiar cold voice, Qi Yuan felt his mood immediately lighten considerably.

His Divine Soul was clear, his thoughts unhindered, as if he had broken free from an invisible and formless shackles, and his communication with the heavens and earth became smoother.

At the same time, the spiritual power within his body also became much purer, and the Dao rhythm surged above his Nascent Soul, reaching the Peak of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage in an instant.

He even had a faint feeling that the next time he Cultivated, he would only need to circulate his Cultivation Technique a few times to easily Breakthrough to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, without any hurdles whatsoever.

What surprised Qi Yuan even more was that he didn't know until he searched, and when he searched, he was shocked.

This Killing Life Daoist truly lived up to his reputation as a ruthless character who once shook the world; the memories he stored were quite substantial.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of letting this person live.

He didn't lack Subordinates who could get things done now. In terms of influence and prestige, Shao Xuanji, the Sect Leader of Linglong Holy Land, was countless times stronger than Han Lie, a lone Loose Cultivator.

It wasn't worth keeping an ungrateful wolf by his side as a ticking time bomb. A person like Han Lie would never show any loyalty to others and would betray them without hesitation given the slightest opportunity.

Instead of keeping him as a hidden danger, it was better to kill him to complete the System mission and also extract all the value from him... After pondering for a moment, Qi Yuan collected his thoughts, let go of the Original Owner's corpse, and said with a smile to Qin Lingxue:

"Fairy Qin, the demon has been executed, but this corpse was once your fiancé in life, so it's more appropriate to let you handle it."

He wasn't a demonic Cultivator; the Original Owner's corpse held no value for him. It was better to do a favor and let Qin Lingxue, who was related to the Original Owner, give him a proper burial.

Although the young lady Qin Lingxue appeared cold as ice on the outside, her character was quite good. Qi Yuan liked women who were straightforward and not muddled.

Moreover, she had taught him many insights into Sword Cultivation over the past two days, so he should repay her in both reason and sentiment.

On this side, Qin Lingxue looked at the corpse, which had once again become motionless, with a complicated expression, a hint of regret flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Not knowing what she thought of, she sighed lightly, her slender hand pointed out, and a wisp of spiritual fire suddenly appeared, instantly burning the corpse completely to ashes.

Then, she took out an exquisitely designed small jar from her storage bracelet and carefully collected the scattered ashes.

After doing all this, Qin Lingxue's expression finally relaxed slightly, and she spoke with a sigh:

"Brother Qi's life was full of misfortunes, and I didn't expect him to find no peace even after death. His body was even used by villains, almost causing a great disaster."

"To prevent such a thing from happening again, it's more appropriate to handle it this way."

"After leaving here, I will find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to bury this jar of ashes, so that he can rest in peace."

At this point, her expression became solemn, and she formally bowed to Qi Yuan in gratitude:

"The matter of Killing Life Daoist borrowing a corpse to revive seemed to cause no disturbance, but it was actually extremely dangerous. If he had been allowed to grow, a slight oversight could have led to a catastrophe for all living beings."

"This time, fortunately, Fellow Daoist stepped forward to act on behalf of heaven. Lingxue is extremely grateful and will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"

Qi Yuan waved his hand with a chuckle, "Fairy Qin, there's no need to be so polite. These are just minor matters."

"Thank you."

A hint of a smile bloomed on Qin Lingxue's exquisitely beautiful face. She was about to turn and leave, but she stopped in her tracks the moment she took a step.

"Fellow Daoist Qi..."

Qin Lingxue's small mouth was slightly agape, seemingly still hesitant to speak.

Qi Yuan asked in confusion:

"What's wrong?"

"There's something... I'd like to ask for advice on."

Qin Lingxue lightly bit her thin lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered the courage to speak:

"To be honest, ever since I inherited the mingshuang sword, although my cultivation has increased rapidly, due to the influence of the Innate Freezing power within the sword, my various emotions are gradually disappearing, and my personality is becoming increasingly cold and indifferent."

"Even towards very close people or matters, it's difficult for my heart to feel even a ripple. That's why I chose to keep the engagement before, trying to use that childhood emotional bond to slow down this situation."

"However, the effect wasn't very good. When that demon impersonating Brother Qi destroyed the engagement in front of me, I didn't feel a trace of excitement or sadness."

"I'm afraid..."

She paused, a hint of struggle flashing in her beautiful eyes:

"If this continues, one day I will completely lose all human emotions and become a cold and ruthless tool."

"If I don't even have emotions, can I still be called a human?"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression also became serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"Fairy Qin, if that's truly the case, I personally recommend that you give up this sword as soon as possible."

"There are many ways to achieve Immortal Ascension and attain the Dao. With your talent, you can completely try Cultivating other Cultivation Techniques. If you lose yourself because of a sword, it would be too great a loss."

However, Qin Lingxue shook her head with a determined expression:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, I understand what you mean, but from the moment I gained the mingshuang sword's recognition, I have carried the hopes of all the Sword Cultivators of Liyuan Holy Land."

"Liyuan has been immensely kind to me. If I were to abandon this precious Legacy for my own selfish reasons, how would that be different from betrayal?"

Then, she looked at Qi Yuan with burning eyes and said seriously:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, your actions are often unexpected, and in just two days, you have made me feel surprised many times. This has never happened before."

"So I want to implore Fellow Daoist to help me solve this problem. What do you think... how can someone in my situation restore normal emotions, even if it's just to prevent things from getting worse, I would be very satisfied."

After speaking, she bowed gracefully to Qi Yuan with a solemn expression, a hint of nervousness and anticipation mixed in her demeanor.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan instantly understood.

Good heavens, so she admired my extraordinary talent and wise and mighty presence, and came to me for guidance... I must say, this girl is really good at judging people!
