Shen Sui opened his eyes; he was already on the road back to the dorm from the venue.
Xinyuan Tanchun was driving, chattering non-stop about today's competition.
"Let me tell you! The opponent was a seven-level Life Card Master," she said excitedly. "Very strong, one of the powerful contenders among the seven-level Life Card Masters. Their family has also been operating in World No. 2 for a long time and uses specialized Immortal Path techniques. But, hehe! I was still one step ahead and won the match."
"Sister was indeed amazing in this duel." Shen Sui was taken aback as a melodious female voice came from the back seat.
However, he quickly recalled that during the time on the Dawn Continent, it was mentioned in the chat box that Xinyuan Tanchun's sister, Xinyuan Yingxue, had come specifically to watch her sister's match.
As long as she won today's match, Xinyuan Tanchun would have enough points to start the seven-level Life Card Master Promotion Tournament, making it a somewhat significant day.
With a hint of curiosity, Shen Sui glanced at the back seat Xinyuan Yingxue through the rearview mirror.
Xinyuan Yingxue was indeed deserving of being Xinyuan Tanchun's sister; the two shared many similar facial features and were both beautiful young ladies.
However, unlike Xinyuan Tanchun, Xinyuan Yingxue was very meticulously dressed, and her clothes were carefully coordinated. A kind of youthful vibrancy and shyness seemed ready to overflow.
Shen Sui didn't look much.
Though Xinyuan Yingxue was beautiful, she couldn't compare to Qishala and Freymia, and besides, she was a real woman, nothing to pay attention to.
He closed his eyes and began to sort through the events of the real world during this period.
At the same time, he was also conflicted in his heart, wondering whether to teach Freymia how to cross the world barrier to come into reality through her Soul Card.
However, Freymia, who had just lifted the seal, needed to deal with matters of the Elf Race accumulated for over a thousand years and probably wouldn't have time to come over for a while.
"Xue, I was actually quite surprised," Xinyuan Tanchun started to say. "You didn't even sign up for the Modu Duel Tournament. Does that woman have other plans? Isn't this kind of competition just what she wants?"
Xinyuan Yingxue bit her lip and said, "During that time, some things happened in the Soul Card World, and I wasn't sure if I could make it to the competition, so I didn't sign up."
"Something happened?" Xinyuan Tanchun exclaimed. "Isn't your Soul Card the heiress of a major family? Even if the world were ending, you shouldn't encounter danger."
Xinyuan Yingxue forced a smile and said, "Yiyi met a very special man and fell madly in love with him, but the family totally disapproved, so she ran away with him. The problem is, that man seemed emotionally hurt and wouldn't accept Yiyi, and the way he looks at me is very strange, always with a sort of examining gaze."
"Examining?"
"Yes." Xinyuan Yingxue nodded and said, "It's as if he's judging my good or bad, ready to kill me without mercy if I show any malice."
"Ah... so terrifyingly ruthless? But an heiress eloping for love shouldn't be such a drama, right?"
Xinyuan Yingxue helplessly remarked, "Of course, that's not it... But not long ago, that man seemed to have uncovered something and destroyed a laboratory of Ye Yiyi's family."
Xinyuan Tanchun was shocked.
Though her Soul Card World wasn't World No. 19, as a Soul Card World in the Xingyuan Clan's heritage, she clearly knew how strong this world was.
"One person?"
"One person."
"Wow, what a monster," Xinyuan Tanchun thought it was absurd.
"Stop it, I'm almost getting a headache," Xinyuan Yingxue sighed. "Yiyi's family just became enemies with that man, and then when the Ye Family was discussing countermeasures, they were suddenly attacked by an unknown figure. Yiyi's father died in that attack, and all family members suspected it was the man's doing. Ironically, during that timeframe, the man deliberately escaped Yiyi's sight. Yiyi was heartbroken and went to confront the man."
"Sister, what do you think... How should I persuade Yiyi?" Xinyuan Yingxue asked, holding her head in frustration. "She can't let go of that man in her heart; it's hopeless. But the other party killed her father."
"What is this plot, straight out of an old novel?" Shen Sui commented offhandedly after listening.
Xinyuan Tanchun shot him a disapproving look.
Shen Sui closed his mouth.
Wait...
Wasn't Xinyuan Yingxue's Soul Card World World No. 19?
Isn't that the Soul Card World where Lin Zhen is from?
Although they only met once, from the subsequent deeds revealed by the Exploration Bureau about Feng Lindu, it seemed Lin Zhen was really miserable—a man with the potential of an apocalyptic novel protagonist yet driven insane.
Shen Sui wasn't repulsed by Lin Zhen's actions; instead, he was a little curious about Lin Zhen's current situation.
Perhaps I can ask Xinyuan Yingxue to keep an eye out for me.
However, the Soul Card World is so vast, who knows when we might meet.
While Shen Sui was contemplating, the Xinyuan sisters were already chatting.
They were jointly cursing the man's ruthlessness, his cruel destruction of a young girl's beautiful vision of reality.
Ye Yiyi, as the direct descendant of the Ye Family, had never suffered during her entire life, yet after meeting this man, her life encountered several drastic changes.
Due to her father's unexpected death, Ye Yiyi also lost her previous status in the Ye Family.
But she didn't care about that.
"Yiyi refuses to believe that man is the kind of person who kills indiscriminately," Xinyuan Yingxue said. "But all the evidence proves that he's truly terrifying—he's already destroyed several shelters in the fight for resources. Yiyi saw the devastation of those shelters with her own eyes, yet she still doesn't believe it."
"Love blind, this is what it means to be love blind!" Xinyuan Tanchun persuaded, "You can't go on like this, or your Soul Card life will be ruined by that man."
"Right." Xinyuan Tanchun thought for a moment and asked, "You've been saying 'this man' repeatedly, what's his name? Maybe I can use my connections to check with the Soul Card Exploration Bureau's intelligence."
Xinyuan Tanchun's so-called connections would either be finding Shen Sui or working for the Exploration Bureau in exchange for a reward.
But given her subordinate relationship with Isabella, Shen Sui doubted her ability to complete missions.
Shen Sui felt the gaze of Xinyuan Tanchun.
Wow, this lazy coach really planned to push the responsibility onto me.
Shen Sui shrugged.
"I think his name is Lin Zhen."
Shen Sui's body slid down; if not for the seatbelt, he nearly slid off the seat.
"I think..." Shen Sui finally spoke up, "maybe you could try trusting him."
"Huh?" Xinyuan Yingxue looked at Shen Sui in curiosity.
