The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 488 - 486: The Sect Leader’s Daughter
Guan Lin invited Zhu Chuanli for a meal and talked up the Divine Pen as if it were something miraculous.
Nan Xian and Qing Dai were inside the Heavenly Mechanism Sect; he had no way of entering the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to find them.
But he could pique Zhu Chuanli’s interest in the Divine Pen, letting Zhu Chuanli take the Divine Pen from their hands.
Without the Divine Pen, Nan Xian, once he left the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, would be at his mercy.
"The sect still has some matters; I’ll be leaving first."
Zhu Chuanli stood up, ready to leave.
He had just walked out of the room when he bumped into someone.
"Sorry."
Song You almost fell to the ground, and Zhu Chuanli couldn’t help but reach out to support her.
There was a clatter.
Something fell to the ground.
Both of their gazes were drawn to it, and they saw a treasure-blue sword tassel on the ground.
"It’s nothing."
Song You pushed Zhu Chuanli away and hurriedly picked up the sword tassel.
"Why do you have a token of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"
Zhu Chuanli stared at Song You, his gaze sharp and probing.
"I...."
Song You did not answer directly.
Seeing Guan Lin come out, she looked at him with a plea for help in her eyes.
Guan Lin sighed, "This matter is a long story; perhaps Brother Zhu would like to come in and sit some more."
Zhu Chuanli thought about the sword tassel he just saw—its color and jade quality clearly different from his, and it carried a Spell aura he found very familiar.
"This is Miss Song You."
Back in the room, Guan Lin introduced Song You.
When Zhu Chuanli heard her name, his expression changed.
"You are from the Song Family? How come I’ve never seen you?"
Zhu Chuanli had entered the Song Family from a young age and had basically met all the members of the Song Family.
"I don’t know if I count as a Song Family member."
A look of loss appeared on Song You’s face.
"I never met my father since I was a child; I only knew he was a disciple of a Major Sect. Later, my mother also died, leaving me a token left by my father, telling me to come here and find him."
She was quite pretty and had been wounded before; her desolate appearance naturally aroused men’s pity at this moment.
Zhu Chuanli asked, "Is the token that sword tassel?"
Song You looked at him in shock, "How did you know?"
"That is our Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s token. Only the sword tassels of Song Family descendants are treasure-blue. Furthermore, the jade engravings on the tassels are not ordinary."
He took out his own sword; the tassel on the longsword was water-green.
"Take out your sword tassel, let me have another look."
Song You did not immediately take it out but looked towards Guan Lin.
"Take it out, maybe Brother Zhu knows who your father is."
Guan Lin had originally wanted to ask about this matter, but then he thought of using Zhu Chuanli to get back at Nan Xian and had pushed it to the back of his mind.
After Song You appeared, he remembered it again.
"It’s this."
Song You took out the item.
Zhu Chuanli took it and looked at it, becoming increasingly alarmed.
"This jade is very rare, and the Spell aura on it feels somewhat familiar."
He stared intently at the sword tassel in his hands, eventually widening his eyes.
"This is... this is the Sect Leader’s sword tassel!"
Guan Lin was also stunned.
It took him a while to react.
"The sword tassel of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect Leader, isn’t it supposed to be golden?"
Though he wasn’t a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, he had heard of this symbol of identity.
"Yes, the Sect Leader’s sword tassel is indeed golden. What I mean is, this was the sword tassel token used by the Sect Leader when he was the Young Master."
After Zhu Chuanli finished speaking, Song You and Guan Lin couldn’t help but exchange glances.
"I’ve indeed heard that the Sect Leader had a beloved outside. The former Sect Leader refused them to be together, stubbornly taking the sect’s elders with him and brought the Sect Leader back.
Before the former Sect Leader ascended, he even discussed marriage with the Sect Leader, who never agreed."
Zhu Chuanli excitedly looked at Song You, "Miss, did your mother ever tell you about your father?"
"She did a little. She said my father’s cultivation was very high, born into a prestigious and influential family. His elder family members forcefully took him away, leaving just the two of us—mother and daughter."
"That’s right, you must be the Sect Leader’s daughter!"
Guan Lin was astonished, not expecting Song You to be the daughter of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect Leader.
"Come back with me! I will take you to meet the Sect Leader!"
Zhu Chuanli grabbed Song You, wishing he could take her to Song Jian right away.
Outsiders found it very hard to rise to high ranks in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and the resources distributed to them were limited.
If he brought back the Sect Leader’s daughter, he would definitely be valued.
Even if he couldn’t become the Sect Leader of Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the future, he could at least achieve the status of an elder!
Zhu Chuanli looked at Song You, his mind full of schemes.
Song You was also quite good-looking.
If they could become companions, perhaps the position of Sect Leader could be within reach.
"Brother Zhu, don’t rush this!"
Seeing him almost ready to take her away right then, Guan Lin hurriedly stopped him.
"Miss Song just found out about this and hasn’t reacted yet. Let her settle down. Besides, does your Sect Leader know he has a daughter outside?
Maybe you should talk to him first to avoid shocking him."
Zhu Chuanli calmed down, thinking Guan Lin made a sound point.
He needed to first gauge the Sect Leader’s attitude.
"You’re right, it’s better I ask the Sect Leader first."
Zhu Chuanli handed Song You a Communication Talisman.
"Miss Song You, if you encounter any trouble, you can contact me directly."
Song You nodded slightly, "Thank you."
Zhu Chuanli hurried away.
"Miss Song, who would have thought your father held such a high position."
Guan Lin sat down, giving a wry smile.
"If you return to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, does it mean we won’t see each other anymore?"
"Not at all."
Song You quickly said, "I owe Brother Guan for saving my life—if I hadn’t been saved, I would have died a long time ago. If the Heavenly Mechanism Sect Leader is indeed my father and is willing to let me return, I will find a way to have Brother Guan join the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."
"Thank you."
Guan Lin sighed, "Being a Loose Cultivator is tough, having a sect as a backing is definitely better."
"Yes, and you might even get some good elixirs to treat your injuries."
Guan Lin had been severely injured, and though he took some medicine, they couldn’t afford expensive ones; his injuries had only healed halfway.
Song You helped him up, and the two returned to their living quarters first.
Back in her own room, Song You took out the sword tassel again.
There was not a hint of despair on her face.
Staring at the sword tassel in her hand, the corners of her lips curled into a cold arc.
"I didn’t expect it to be this useful-it’s good that I kept it."
If she could replace the Sect Leader’s daughter, she could quickly possess significant power within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, easily finding the heartbreaker from back then, and avenge her mother!
Moreover, the legitimate daughter was still in that Different World and couldn’t come here.
She wouldn’t be found out anytime soon.
Thinking of these, Song You felt a surge of excitement.
Her hand tightened around the azure sword tassel.
She felt an inexplicable anticipation.
Hoping that Zhu Chuanli would contact her soon.
She had spent so much effort and even sacrificed many of her clansmen, finally close to obtaining what she desired!
