Yu Huang was shocked by the address of ‘Brother Linyuan’.

She looked at Liuli Luoluo with a baffled expression and asked curiously, “You’ve been married for three years, but the two of you haven’t slept together. You’re very beautiful and very young. Have you never thought about why my Eldest Senior Brother hasn’t touched you? It’s very difficult for a man to reject a beautiful woman like you, right? Have you never thought about why my Eldest Senior Brother married you?”

Liuli Luoluo said, “I asked Brother Linyuan about this on the day we registered our marriage.”

“Oh really?” Yu Huang was a little surprised and asked again, “Then what did he say?”

“He only married me because I look very similar to his first love. To put it bluntly, I’m just a substitute. He doesn’t love me, but he won’t allow a woman who looks like his first love to marry another man and have children.” Liuli Luoluo laughed mockingly. “What is this? A man’s wicked possessiveness?”

Yu Huang was shocked. “My Eldest Senior Brother has a first love?” She didn’t know about this.

She suspected that Ji Linyuan was making it up.

Liuli Luoluo said, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask him. The bone bead pendant he’s wearing is the bone bead of his first love.”

After Yu Huang returned to the Yin Clan, she got someone to call Ji Linyuan to the Patriarch’s Mansion.

Ji Linyuan had just returned from the Beast Tamer Alliance and had yet to take off his suit.

The moment they entered the room, Ji Linyuan asked Yu Huang, “I heard that you were looking for me?”

Yu Huang raised her head and looked at Ji Linyuan, who had entered the room. She indeed discovered a thread hanging around Ji Linyuan’s neck, but the pendant on the thread was hidden under his shirt. Yu Huang knocked on the table and said, “Senior Brother, let’s talk.”

Ji Linyuan sat down with a baffled expression.

He noticed that Yu Huang was still wearing a gown and guessed that she had been waiting for him since she returned. He asked her, “Why did you call me over in such a hurry? What do you have to discuss?”

Yu Huang looked at the pendant on his neck and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, what’s that thing on your neck?”

Stunned, Ji Linyuan said, “You talked to Luoluo?” He had only told Liuli Luoluo about this. For Yu Huang to know about this, it was obvious that Liuli Luoluo had told her.

Knowing that she couldn’t hide it from Ji Linyuan, Yu Huang nodded and told Ji Linyuan, “Yes. She said that she’s your substitute. Eldest Senior Brother, do you really have a first love? You married Senior Luoluo because she looks like your first love?”

Ji Linyuan was caught between laughter and tears. “That was just an excuse to brush her off back then. I made up stories about my first love as a substitute to deceive her.”

Yu Huang knew that Ji Linyuan had made it up. “Then what’s hanging around your neck?” She was still very curious about this.

“You want to see it?” Ji Linyuan treated Yu Huang as his biological sister. If Yu Huang wanted to see it, he wouldn’t hide it.

Ji Linyuan reached out and pulled the necklace off his neck. Yu Huang realized that it was indeed a grayish-white bead.

Holding the urn, Ji Linyuan said, “This is an urn pendant. However, I don’t remember who this thing belongs to or where it came from.” When Ji Linyuan met Yin Mingjue, he was already on the verge of death. After waking up, he couldn’t remember his past anymore.

Therefore, Ji Linyuan couldn’t remember the origin of this urn.

Yu Huang also knew about Ji Linyuan’s memory loss, so when she heard Ji Linyuan’s explanation, she didn’t find it strange. She looked away from the pendant and said coldly, “You married Liuli Luoluo with ulterior motives, right?”

Ji Linyuan knew that Yu Huang would find out about this sooner or later.

Now that the Kunlun Mystic Realm’s training was over, it was time to tell Yu Huang some things. “The President and I were about to tell you and Young Master Sheng about this. Since you asked, I’ll tell you directly.”

There was indeed something strange.

Yu Huang said, “Tell me directly. Brother Xiao went to the Alliance to meet his father. I think he already knows.”

Ji Linyuan cautiously built a soundproof wall outside the room and spent some time organizing his words before saying, “Prime Master Lingfeng and I suspect that the heavens didn’t leave after killing Xuanyuan Shen.”

The first sentence at the beginning stunned Yu Huang.

“What do you mean?” Yu Huang’s expression became serious, and her back straightened. “What are you suspecting?” If the heavens didn’t escape, where was he hiding?

“Back then, Madam Xuanyuan said that the heavens ran away after killing Xuanyuan Shen. However, three years have passed, and we still haven’t found any traces of the heavens. Last month, the Jade Illusion Continent suddenly disappeared and caused a huge commotion, but the heavens didn’t reveal any traces of himself. Don’t you think this is very suspicious?”

Yu Huang was a smart person. With Ji Linyuan’s hint, she immediately understood his hint. “When Xuanyuan Shen died, there was only one witness, and that was Madam Xuanyuan.” Thinking of Madam Xuanyuan’s seemingly reasonable but uncharacteristic actions after Xuanyuan Shen died, Yu Huang also discovered something amiss.

“Are you suspecting that Madam Xuanyuan is the heavens?” Yu Huang was shocked by this guess.

Ji Linyuan nodded. “That’s right. Don’t you think that ever since Xuanyuan Shen died, Madam Xuanyuan’s actions have been very contradictory? Before Xuanyuan Shen died, she kept insisting on getting a divorce and living the life of a commoner with the professor. Since Xuanyuan Shen died, according to Madam Xuanyuan’s personality, she should have married the professor, but what about her?”

Without waiting for Ji Linyuan to finish speaking, Yu Huang said, “Not only did she not get a divorce, but she also seized control of the Xuanyuan Clan and became the Sect Master of the Xuanyuan Clan. After the Liuli Clan’s Patriarch died, she took over the Liuli Clan. Then, she got rid of the carefree path and organized a marriage recruitment event…”

As she spoke, Yu Huang thought of something and her eyes widened!

She looked at Ji Linyuan in shock as she asked in disbelief, “You married Senior Luoluo because of this?”
