“Actually, minor matters like accepting disciples can be left to others. As a dignified Saint Master, you don’t need to do everything yourself,” said Saint Master Gu Hanyu.

"I'm just used to it. There are some things I can't rest easy about unless I keep an eye on them myself," Lin Moyu said.

"But that will make you very tired," Saint Master Gu Hanyu said.

"It's alright. It just takes up some of my cultivation time, but otherwise, it's fine."

Over the years that Saint Master Gu Hanyu had been in charge of Hanshui Holy Land, all affairs of Hanshui Holy Land had been in perfect order, far better than under the previous Saint Master.

That was why the ancestors trusted Saint Master Gu Hanyu so much, allowing her to decide on her successor without interference, said Xiaomei.

In the past, there were several Saint Masters who only cared about their own cultivation, leaving all affairs of the Holy Land to others to manage.

Later, the affairs of the Holy Land became a mess, and several power factions even emerged, nearly causing the Holy Land to split.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Ancestor Mei is right. Later, it was the ancestors who took action to suppress it and stabilize the Holy Land, but the Holy Land also suffered damage to its vitality and took many years to recover."

"That's why, when one becomes a Saint Master, one must manage things more; only then can the Holy Land remain stable."

Lin Moyu asked, "Why not consider using a technological artifact to manage it? For example, like Lu Lian from Shang City?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "I'd like to as well, but such technological artifacts capable of acting as stewards are not easy to obtain. Looking across the entire Origin Continent, other than in Shang City, where else would you find one?"

Lin Moyu was stunned for a moment. "You mean, only Shang City has this kind of artifact?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu suddenly smiled. "So, there are things even you don't know about?"

Lin Moyu laughed. "Stop joking. How many years have I been cultivating? How could I know more than you?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu made an "Oh" sound. "Are you implying that I'm old?"

Lin Moyu's smile didn't change. "I believe in the magnanimity of Saint Master Gu Hanyu; you certainly wouldn't think that way."

"Unexpectedly, such technological artifacts are so rare."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu hummed in agreement. "Technological artifacts are rare to begin with. These kinds of technological artifacts that can manage affairs are naturally even rarer."

"I once asked the Lufeng Chamber of Commerce; they do have some technological artifacts that can be used for Support, but they are far from reaching the level of Lu Lian. They don't even reach half of it."

Lin Moyu faintly felt that something was wrong. If such artifacts were so rare, how could Xiao Zhantian have obtained one so coincidentally back then? Was it really just good luck?

Lin Moyu believed in luck, but he never relied on it entirely. Vaguely, he felt a conspiracy, as if a pair of large hands were laying out a plan.

Whether it was himself or Xiao Zhantian, they both seemed to be pawns in this game.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu noticed the change in Lin Moyu's expression. "What did you think of?"

Lin Moyu said, "I thought of some things and felt something was off. Let me think it through, and then I'll tell you properly."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu nodded. "Then you think about it first, and tell me when you've figured it out."

At this moment, a woman walked into the great hall. Gu Nianshui arrived in the hall.

Just as she was about to salute Saint Master Gu Hanyu, she suddenly froze on the spot, staring at Lin Moyu without blinking.

Lin Moyu also saw Gu Nianshui and couldn't help but smile. "What a coincidence."

"Long time no see." Gu Nianshui asked instinctively, "Why are you here?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu knew they were acquainted, but she still introduced him, "Lin Moyu is now a Guest Elder."

"Nianshui, do you have any business here?"

Gu Nianshui immediately reacted. She couldn't hide the weird feeling in her heart, but on the surface, she still saluted. "Gu Nianshui pays respects to the Saint Master."

"Greetings, Elder Lin. The Young Master of the Wu Family has been asking when the Saint Master plans to see him."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Right now. Call him over."

Gu Nianshui nodded. "Alright, I will have someone bring him here immediately."

Lin Moyu smiled. "Saint Master Gu Hanyu, do you know who Young Master Wu Xingguang wants to propose to?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu shook her head. "The visiting card I received only said he was representing the Wu Family to propose, but it didn't say who the object was."

Lin Moyu said, "According to the information I received, the person he wants to propose to is the sister of Saint Master Gu Hanyu, Gu Hanjing!"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu's brows furrowed sharply. "Hanjing? That's impossible!"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu was a bit agitated. Lin Moyu found it very strange.

The usually calm Saint Master Gu Hanyu, why would she suddenly be so agitated? There must be something behind it.

Lin Moyu said, "If you don't agree, just refuse directly."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "I can refuse now, but I am somewhat worried."

Lin Moyu could see that Saint Master Gu Hanyu seemed to have some unspeakable difficulties. He said softly, "What is the problem? Tell your husband; perhaps I can help solve it."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Jing'er is my own sister. Her cultivation talent is very high, no worse than mine."

"When she entered the Dao Venerable Realm, she went to the Soul Void out of curiosity, and afterwards, there was a problem with her soul."

Lin Moyu asked, "Was her soul damaged?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu shook her head. "It's not soul damage. We have checked, and her soul is still complete."

"But sometimes, she forgets everything, as if she has become a different person. Other times, she becomes foolish, like a child. When she is normal, she cultivates."

"Once she finishes cultivating, she becomes another way, and not just one way. Her cultivation talent is completely unaffected, and her cultivation speed remains very fast. She is already at the Dao Venerable 3rd Realm."

"As her cultivation deepens, her condition seems to be getting more severe, and the time she spends cultivating is getting shorter and shorter. She spends more time in a foolish state. Just a few days ago, Jing'er developed another problem."

"She suddenly attacks people around her, and her consciousness is no longer that clear. Now that I am still the Saint Master, I can naturally refuse Young Master Wu Xingguang, but what about the future?"

"Once I am no longer the Saint Master, what if someone comes to propose again? Now there is Young Master Wu Xingguang; in the future, there might be others."

"The ancestors have already given up on Jing'er. Perhaps in the eyes of some ancestors, Jing'er has already become a tool."

Lin Moyu asked, "What about your parents?"

Saint Master Gu Hanyu sighed, a hint of sadness appearing in her eyes. "More than 20,000 years ago, we had a conflict with the Wen Dao Sect."

"At that time, both sides paid a considerable price." Needless to say, Lin Moyu knew the result; the parents of Saint Master Gu Hanyu must have passed away in that conflict.

With both parents passing away, Saint Master Gu Hanyu grew up living with her sister; the bond between the two sisters naturally went without saying.

If Saint Master Gu Hanyu were to marry Lin Moyu, the one she would worry about most would be Gu Hanjing.

Lin Moyu said, "Then we can take Gu Hanjing with us when we leave."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu shook her head. "That won't work."

"I have tried taking Jing'er outside to seek a cure, but as soon as we leave the Holy Land, Jing'er becomes crazy."

"She attacks everyone around her indiscriminately."

Listening to the description of Saint Master Gu Hanyu, Lin Moyu had a rough guess in his heart.

Gu Hanjing's incident happened in the Soul Void, so it must be related to the soul. As for what exactly happened, he would only know after seeing it.

Gu Hanjing could not leave Hanshui Holy Land, which might be related to the Dao of Ice within Hanshui Holy Land.

In Hanshui Holy Land, everywhere was filled with the power of the origin spirit vein and the Dao of Ice. Perhaps these two forces could suppress the soul problem of Gu Hanjing.

Lin Moyu asked curiously, "According to your description, she shouldn't be able to get married either."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu shook her head. "That's not the case."

"She can get married. We have a secret technique." She seemed not to want to continue, hesitating.

At this moment, Xiaomei whispered, "In the Holy Land, there is a secret technique called the Ice Soul Secret Technique. Using the Ice Soul Secret Technique can allow both husband and wife to achieve yin-yang balance. Whether used for cultivation or healing, the effect is excellent."

"I guess Mistress is also struggling with this. She both wants to heal Jing'er and doesn't want Jing'er to marry because of it."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu sighed, "As it stands now, the Ice Soul Secret Technique seems to be the last hope for Jing'er, but I'm afraid she will blame me after she recovers."

"Jing'er once told me that in this life, she must find someone she truly loves, not just find someone randomly now. But in the eyes of several ancestors, Jing'er has already lost her value."

"After marrying out, if she can recover, that is naturally best. After all, she is still a person of the Holy Land. If she cannot recover, at least they can reclaim most of the resources."

"After all, cultivating a Dao Venerable requires a significant amount of resources."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said this and looked up at Lin Moyu. "Does it feel very cruel?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "Not at all. The rule of this world is that the weak are prey to the strong. And in my opinion, this kind of marriage is more like a transaction. Actually, it can be considered fair."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "So I have been struggling here. A few years ago, an ancestor had already proposed marrying Jing'er off."

"Jing'er is currently in the Holy Land; she is normal when cultivating, but when not cultivating, she is either foolish or crazy, and sometimes she will attack indiscriminately."

"The ancestors are also afraid that she will cause bigger trouble."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Let me examine her. Perhaps I will have a way."

Saint Master Gu Hanyu looked pleasantly surprised. "Really?"

Lin Moyu said, "I can only say, I can try."

Xiaomei smiled, "Teacher will definitely have a way."

A figure appeared outside the great hall. Gu Nianshui brought Young Master Wu Xingguang, along with two long-realm ancestors of the Wu Family, and walked in.

When Young Master Wu Xingguang saw Saint Master Gu Hanyu, his eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a hint of greed, but he immediately returned to normal.

Young Master Wu Xingguang glanced at Lin Moyu. Obviously, Lin Moyu sitting in the position below Saint Master Gu Hanyu surprised him.

He saluted Saint Master Gu Hanyu. "Young Master of the Wu Family, Young Master Wu Xingguang, pays respects to Saint Master Yu."

The expression of Young Master Wu Xingguang was well hidden, but it could not escape the eyes of Lin Moyu and Saint Master Gu Hanyu at all.

Saint Master Gu Hanyu said, "Young Master Wu Xingguang, there is no need for such formalities."
