Chapter Fifty-One: Azure Spirit Pupil, Luminous Heart

  Just as Zhou Yun was deep in thought, an old man with white hair came up to him: "Young fellow, what are you thinking about all alone?"

  "Huh? I..." Zhou Yun savored the taste for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Why am I here?" Perhaps even he himself didn't know why he said that to the old man.

  The old man smiled and stroked his beard: "Because you should have appeared here."

  "I'm just a small mixed-up kid...” Zhou Yun splashed some water on his face with a dejected expression. Just a few days ago, he was an underachieving student who often skipped class to surf the internet. Life was like stagnant water, unable to find any vitality.

  "Sometimes progress is too fast, and it's not necessarily a good thing. To cultivate oneself, one must first cultivate one's will. The heart should not go against one's wishes, emptiness should not go against reality, and desires should not go against restraint." As he spoke, the old man placed his hand on Zhou Yun's forehead: "Don't underestimate yourself, follow nature. The heart demon will disperse..."

  The air was crisp and clear, but suddenly he felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and before he knew it, Zhou Yun had fallen asleep with his eyes closed.

  Time passed by second by second, Zhou Yun was dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud: "Ouch!"

  When he opened his eyes, the old man had vanished into thin air. It was as if he had never appeared at all.

  In a corner of the hotel, several white-haired old men were chatting by the pool.

  "Old Xǔ, is that Xiao Yuè's sweetheart? So ordinary! Yet, he's been troubled by his heart demon." said an old man leaning on a walking stick.

  "Is that so...... Hehehe...... ordinary is good, ordinary is good......" said the old man known as Old Xu, stroking his beard.

  "What the hell!" Another long-bearded old man sprayed: "The Xu family doesn't know what kind of dog shit luck they've had. Linglong heart, Cangling eyes, whoever gets one will get the world. You can just smile secretly, old man!!"

  "Ah, but that's not necessarily true! Didn't Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms achieve both as well?" said another old man. This old fellow had a scar on his face and looked quite fierce, but his tone was very kind.

  "Zhuge and Pang Tong are not two brothers, they don't have the same heart, of course, they can't get the world. But Xu's family daughter is different, let alone Linglong Heart and Cangling Eye originally belonged to women. The history of the other world records that Linglong Heart is the home skill of the demon girl Su Daji, able to see through people's hearts and know their cunning plans. Cangling Eye is even more the ability of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war in Greek mythology. Only by predicting the future and knowing the enemy's situation can we stand undefeated in war." The old man who was called "Old Mu" kept muttering: "Tsk...the old guy wants to marry Little Yue to an ordinary person as a daughter-in-law! What a waste of talent!!"

  The old man holding the crutch couldn't help but interrupt, "However, to be honest, if that young fellow marries Linglong Xin and brings her home as his wife, he's in for a world of trouble. Linglong Xin is notorious for being cunning!"

  "Oh, come on... that's not necessarily true." Old Xǔ shook his finger and said with a pretentious tone: "A cunning heart is nothing to be afraid of, what's scary is not being able to find one's true heart. If you have someone you trust, then the cunning heart will disappear into thin air."

  "Who's trustworthy? You're talking about that little brat!" Scarface exclaimed. No matter how he sized up Zhou Yun, he just couldn't think of the kid as a reliable guy.

  Xu nodded slowly and said calmly, "Xiao Yue is eighteen this year, right? It's about time for her heart demon to appear. I was wondering earlier how Cai Yue could eavesdrop on people's hearts and still maintain a pure heart like a clear mirror. It turns out she had already entrusted her true heart to someone else..."

  "We thought you had sealed it temporarily..." The old man with a crutch said halfway, suddenly bursting into a loud scolding: "I say! Isn't letting that little girl grow up terrifying!"

  "No way! Instead of saying that girl is terrifying, it's better to say that kid is formidable." Old Mu said with deep admiration: "To be able to tame a woman born with a clever and cunning heart, how did he manage to do it?"

  "Well, only a pure and selfless heart can move Xiaoyue. I guess they were still young back then." Old Xu chuckled: "Probably... kindergarten..."

  As long as Zhou Yun exists, Xu Caiyue will never be troubled by her heart demon.

  It turns out that Xu Xuan and Xu Caiyue both like to smile, and it seems they learned from this old man. An old fox is corrupting two little foxes.

  However, the reason why Lao Xu laughed so happily was not only that he no longer had to worry about Xu Caiyue's heart demon attacking again, but also because he met a noble person. Although it was only an instant contact, he could feel the power of creation. Destiny, sequence, reincarnation, possessing the complete and flawless three realms law. A living god king in the world.

  The Chronicles of the Otherworld record that a mysterious country called the Eastern Divine Temple, every thousand years will pass on the legacy to the mortal world and continue the glory of humanity. The Xus' family can achieve what they have today, all because a thousand years ago, they were fortunate enough to become the orthodox successors of the Heavenly Way, who controlled the key to fate.

  However, Zhou Yun possessed the inheritance of the three ways of Heaven, Earth and Man. Even old Xu, who had seen and experienced much, couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "This is truly awesome!"

  No wonder in recent years, the young masters of the heterodox world have emerged one after another. Many ancient heterodox techniques that were lost after being sealed by gods have reappeared in the mortal world. Probably the fifth inheritance has already begun. And it's also an unprecedented three-world inheritance...

  A young man with a legitimate lineage of the Three Realms, also Xiao Yue's boyfriend. It is believed that it won't be long before he stirs up a storm in the world of special abilities...

  "Haha...!" Old Xǔ burst into another fit of strange laughter. Found treasure, found treasure! This matter must be kept secret! If that old fellow in front finds out, he'll surely fight to snatch it away!

  Upon hearing this laughter, everyone shook their heads in unison. Tsk, tsk, tsk... kindergarten? Puppy love should have some boundaries! And the father is laughing so happily, no wonder the world is going downhill...

  "Alright, it's time to go back and hold a meeting. Those old guys are still waiting for us! This year's test is really annoying..." Lao Mu said shamelessly...

  "You still have the nerve to say that you're not dead yet!" The scar-faced old man said with disdain. Without even thinking about who is the oldest among all these old men...

  Back in the dining room, Zhou Yun's mood was no longer so irritable. The bad thoughts in his mind had also decreased a lot, probably because he had calmed down. After returning to his seat, the first thing he did was to apologize to Mu Xiaoya beside him: "Sorry about earlier, I was rude..."

  Mu Xiao Ya shook her head: "Don't worry... your complexion seems much better now."

  "Hmm... just now, I don't know what happened, my head was all muddled. It's like I was possessed or something, there was a voice in my head spouting nonsense. Saying something about push down~push down~ahh..." Zhou Yun suddenly shut his mouth halfway through speaking. Shouting "push down" in front of the beauty was too reckless.

  "Heart Devil?" everyone exclaimed in unison. What Zhou Yun said was something that everyone present understood, after all, they had all come into contact with the supernatural early on. Whenever one's power surpassed their willpower, a Heart Devil would appear.

  Methods are neither good nor bad, and good and evil are in the human heart. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. When the demon appears, it is to induce you to abandon your responsibilities and use your powerful abilities as you wish. If one loses control, they will fall into the demonic path.

  "No wonder Xiaoyun gave people a sense of dissonance just now. Is it better now?" Xu Xuan asked with concern. Thinking back to Zhou Yun's expression when she was struggling, it really did look like being tormented by a heart demon. She knew very well how painful it was to be entangled by a heart demon, it was torture for both body and mind.

  However, Xu Xuan was very puzzled. Zhou Yun wasn't an ability user, so why would he encounter a heart demon?

  "Great... much more!" Zhou Yun asked foolishly: "What is a heart demon?"

  Watching TV or something, heart demons are like practicing qigong and entering a state of frenzy. Since I haven't cultivated the Nine Yin or exorcised evil spirits, how can I have heart demons?
