After My Favorability Level Is Up to the Top

Chapter 199

Chapter 199 - Transmuted Good Guy Card

Dong Yuan spoke. The others couldn't argue, but they couldn't help feeling discontent.

They had been assisting them all the way here, risking their lives significantly. They had yet to find any clues, and since their own benefits were at stake, they naturally felt uneasy.

However, Dong Yuan's point was valid. Those who managed to enter had their own connections and means. Regardless of how they got in, they would reveal their abilities. For example, they relied on the information from the Soul Haunt Ship. The Snowflake Mansion people were the first to enter. It was said they found a book in some ancient ruins documenting the Martial Emperor incident. They traced the clues to the descendant of the Martial Emperor and then entered the tomb.

As for Guo Fan and the others, they never disclosed how they entered, but due to Pann Xiaoying, it was assumed they followed her into the tomb.

However, Pann Xiaoying was not as crucial as the Martial Emperor Secret Realm. She naturally expected a share upon arrival.

On the other hand, Miss Mengyao was the most suspicious. She didn't seem like an Immortal cultivator. However, not all cultivators love fighting and killing. It was plausible she wasn't skilled in combat and had a gentle nature. With no one possessing Spiritual Energy, it was hard to tell. However, her sudden claim of having clues was unexpected.

Guo Fan realized that Hee Mengyao could only mention her identity as a descendant of a Martial Emperor to him privately. She couldn't reveal it to everyone.

He asked Qingfu to move one of the overturned library shelves and entered with Hee Mengyao. He nodded at the small figure, indicating that when the library was back in place, it would form a secret room.

Hammer and Yijun stayed in the original town, as these people were likely not good and possibly had evil intentions.

The others exchanged glances and continued searching the book room.

“There's no one else here. Tell me, what clues do you have?” Guo Fan asked Hee Mengyao.

Hee Mengyao seemed a bit nervous being alone with him. She shyly pressed her chest and said softly, “When I entered, my heart started racing. I felt a calling in my heart and a mysterious sense of familiarity. If what you said is true, and I am a descendant of the Martial Monarch Realm, then the one who summoned me should be my ancestor, but I dare not reveal it…”

Guo Fan was momentarily stunned, his pupils contracting. “You sensed it in the Scripture Pavilion?”

Hee Mengyao nodded, “It happened precisely when Miss Qingfu unlocked the mechanism and lock formation. I suddenly felt a warm call from a certain direction. It was like when I heard my grandpa call me on a cool summer night when I was young.”

She used a vivid metaphor to explain the closeness of the sensation.

If there were no mishaps, then what she felt… It should be the Martial Sovereign Hee Junhao, who was thought to have died a thousand years ago.

Guo Fan could only express his feelings with one word.

He felt a chill run down his spine.

The final boss in the outer tomb was the monster left behind by Hee Junhao. The players also unanimously agreed that the Martial Emperor was dead since there were no ghosts in Upper Central Realm!

All the ghosts that went to Spirit Forest Palace had no way to return. They could only move on to the next cycle and couldn't stay there.

And now, Hee Mengyao actually sensed the call of the Martial Emperor!

Could it be that this Martial Emperor, who had achieved sainthood with his mortal body, had left his name throughout history, and studied forbidden cultivation techniques with his wife to alter innate talent? Now, it seemed even more likely that he had defied the rules of reincarnation in the Upper Central Realm and left his soul in the mortal world!

This man could truly be described as “heaven defying.”

Guo Fan even had a subtle feeling that Hee Junhao seemed to be the main character template like Cheng Liuxian, or rather, he seemed like a fairy-like person - the Son of Fortune.

It was just that this Martial Monarch Cave always felt mysterious and unfathomable. The Puppet Master creating humans, the mutation of demon beasts, the mystery of the life and death of a Martial Emperor, and the white jade stone tablet that had yet to be discovered.

In the past, it was said that this was the only instance dungeon with supernatural and terrifying elements. No one had expected there to be an actual ghost inside.

He adjusted his state of mind, ready to encounter the ghost of the Martial Emperor in the tomb. Reflecting on it, the journey had indeed gone too smoothly. It turned out that the ghost was waiting here. Originally, this ghost could only guard the most critical place. To find the Purification Scripture, he would have to face it. He decided to let Hee Mengyao lead the way, claiming she had a special method to locate it, and leave the task of fighting monsters to the others.

Hee Mengyao obediently nodded. Seeing Guo Fan poke his head out from the library entrance to ask Qingfu for help moving it back, she looked at his back and softly said, “Thank you, Young Master, for bringing me here.”

The mechanism was activated, and the library began to operate. Guo Fan withdrew, thinking she was referring to the matter of saving her and protecting her along the way, and said, “You're welcome. Actually, I am also doing this for the inheritance of the Martial Emperor… Let's see if your ancestor shows his spirit and whether we can obtain the Essence Purification Scripture or not will depend on their luck. Our task is to ensure your safe passage.”

Hee Mengyao pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, “It's not like that. In this world, there are very few people with a heart like yours, Young Master. If it weren't for you saving me, I would have already…”

Guo Fan, caught off guard, was given a good person card.

However, he had no interest in Hee Mengyao. After all, he, Guo Fan, was not the kind of person who had to pursue everyone he found attractive. Although Hee Mengyao seemed interested in him, he currently only saw her in terms of appreciating beauty.

This situation was unlike the City Lord Mansion's secret guards. If they developed feelings, it would involve many complications. The current circumstances were not suitable.

Firstly, there was the gap between immortals and mortals… Hee Mengyao was not like Gu Yaling. Little Yaling had practiced martial arts from a young age, had a certain foundation of Spiritual Energy, and possessed the Black Tortoise bloodline, making cultivation not difficult for her.

But Hee Mengyao, Guo Fan could tell, was indeed an ordinary person without any martial arts or Spiritual Energy. Just this fact alone was enough to make people hesitate.

If he could obtain the Purification Scripture, if he could truly change his aptitude, it would be…

He suddenly thought, could it be that Hee Junhao wanted to create a technique to change his aptitude for this reason? His physical body had become saintly, allowing him to live forever, but the Puppet Master's cultivation base was not high.

Unfortunately, they only found the letter on the bodies of those from the Snowflake Mansion, with no other clues.

Guo Fan waved his hand and said, “The one who saved you is Yijun, she is my daughter.”

He thought to himself, My rejection is clear enough, isn't it?

However, as he walked out of the library, he did not notice that Hee Mengyao was initially stunned. Then, she suddenly had a smile different from her usual appearance, full of interest.
