Yun Lingshu's eyebrows stood sharply, her gaze icy cold: "I think it's safest to capture you."

"You didn't act, which means you agree with what I said in your heart."

Shen Wang instead laughed: "You truly hate him, he forced you, and I was also forced by him to take eight wives, we have a common enemy."

Yun Lingshu's eyes flickered with intensity, mocking: "You still hate him? Giving you eight women, shouldn't you be secretly happy?"

"Getting eight by myself and having eight forced on me feels completely different. The point is, he treated me as his medicine, if I didn't find a chance to escape, who knows how much blood would be drained from me by now."

Shen Wang sneered.

"That's not enough of a reason. You have too many issues, I don't trust you."

Yun Lingshu clenched a Communication Jade Pendant in her hand, ready to call someone to deal with Shen Wang at any moment.

"If that's the case, I might just loudly declare that you were forced by the Sixth Prince."

Seeing this woman being rude, Shen Wang also stopped being polite.

"How dare you!" Yun Lingshu was furious, it was the shame of her life, how could she allow it to be spoken of.

"So you have to cooperate with me."

Shen Wang noticed Yun Lingshu's explosive reaction and realized he hit the mark; such reputation, though meaningless, is very important to the proud Yun Lingshu.

This way, there's no need to rush into action.

Suppressing her rage, Yun Lingshu wouldn't give him a chance if she wasn't sure she could take him down instantly.

Grinding her teeth, she angrily asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"Those two people you captured who can absorb Demonic Qi are under my command, I want to meet them."

Shen Wang stated his demand.

"Demons?"

Yun Lingshu blinked, deducing who Shen Wang was referring to, saying, "How could they be related to you?"

"My Shen Family is originally a Demon-Suppressing Family, just fallen from grace, they were near the Demon Cave our family suppressed, do you think there's a connection?"

Shen Wang said, "I want to find a way to see them."

Yun Lingshu shook her head: "Those two are not under my management, they are guarded by people from the Main Vein, I can't bring you to see them."

"If even you can't, then I surely can't."

Shen Wang remarked playfully, "That issue is your Heart Demon, how about I help you face it directly?"

"Shameless!"

Yun Lingshu could only curse.

"Shameless is your side; what do those two have to do with you all, why take them?"

Shen Wang sneered: "Since you don't want to cooperate, then pretend you don't know about my matters, and don't think about killing me, if you fail, your secret could be exposed."

"I'm not familiar with you, today's matters end here!"

Yun Lingshu looked at Shen Wang with displeasure: "Currently not many here know about your situation, if the people in the Sect find out about my matters, I'll assume it's leaked by you."

"I want to know about their current situation, if you can find out, then come find me."

Shen Wang turned to leave.

Yun Lingshu watched Shen Wang's retreating back, her gaze fluctuating, but didn't act.

After Shen Wang left, she immediately ordered an investigation into him.

Finding out he's around the same age as her, his talent is average, and he even once suffered a broken Dantian, how could his current cultivation be stronger than hers?

She summoned Han Wan'Er, who used to be related to Shen Wang.

Han Wan'Er was somewhat nervous, not daring to look at Yun Lingshu, she bowed: "Greetings, Auntie Master."

Yun Lingshu's gaze fell on Han Wan'Er: "What do you think of this Shen Wang?"

Han Wan'Er froze for a moment, feeling uneasy: "I haven't been in contact with him for many years, I don't know his situation."

"But I heard you were once Dao Companions."

Yun Lingshu said flatly.

"No, we were just friends."

Han Wan'Er quickly shook her head.

"I'm not concerned with your past matters, I want to know how his Dantian was shattered back then?"

Yun Lingshu didn't ask further, whether Han Wan'Er and Shen Wang were Dao Companions didn't affect her questioning.

"He overestimated himself and went to the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range for training, encountered a fierce Demon Beast, and injured his Dantian during the battle."

Han Wan'Er replied.

"That convenient? Could he have faked it?"

Yun Lingshu felt there was something shady about the broken Dantian story; how could someone with such an injury form a core so quickly?

"Probably... not, right? Back then, the teachers examined him, and later when he returned to his family, they expended many resources trying to repair it, but still didn't succeed, his cultivation declined day by day, almost becoming a mortal in the end."

Han Wan'Er carefully explained.

"Mortal?"

Yun Lingshu laughed mockingly: "If he's truly a mortal, that would be too funny."

She didn't believe a mortal could rise to this level, outwit the Sixth Prince, and be connected to Silver Moon's disappearance.

Yun Lingshu felt Han Wan'Er was hiding something, her gaze grew colder: "You know so much detail, and still say you weren't Dao Companions?"

Han Wan'Er was so frightened she knelt down, trembling: "We weren't, we indeed planned to be Dao Companions, but he was ruined, becoming a mortal, at that time we separated."

"Oh? Did you leave him? Or did he leave you?"

Yun Lingshu was a bit curious.

"I took the initiative to leave." Han Wan'Er lowered her head: "Back then, I thought he was finished, thinking mortals and immortals are eternally separated, not wanting to cause him trouble, so I left out of goodwill."

"Haha, then you missed out on some good things."

Yun Lingshu looked on with some contempt, the woman probably didn't know how powerful Shen Wang is, just from his current cultivation speaks volumes.

"I had no fate."

Han Wan'Er bowed her head, curious about what happened to Shen Wang that's making this proud woman inquire about such matters?

Could the two have some sort of relationship?

Impossible, how could Shen Wang catch her discerning eye?

"When you interacted with Shen Wang, did you notice anything special about him?"

Yun Lingshu inquired.

Han Wan'Er thought for a moment, saying: "He might not be as domineering as other men, he's more considerate towards women."

"Hmph, that's not necessarily true."

Yun Lingshu didn't agree; if Shen Wang were considerate of her, he wouldn't use her shame to threaten her.

"Anything else?"

Yun Lingshu was a bit impatient.

"No... nothing else, he was originally an ordinary disciple, nothing special."

Han Wan'Er shook her head.

"Alright, you may go,"

Yun Lingshu waved her hand, feeling a bit disappointed, it seemed Han Wan'Er didn't know Shen Wang's secrets either.

Han Wan'Er felt as if she escaped a dire situation, quickly excusing herself.

"If Han Wan'Er didn't notice anything special when interacting with him, then perhaps his broken Dantian led to some opportunity, after all, the Shen Family still had some legacy, the broken Spiritual Artifact in the Demon Cave is evidence."

Yun Lingshu pondered, thinking about the scoundrel who tarnished her purity, that guy valued Shen Wang's blood greatly, could it be related to bloodline?

She thought for a moment, and went to the Library Pavilion, investigating matters related to the Shen Family.

After searching for a day, she found snippets in the vast collection of ancient books.

The Shen Family was once a Demon-Suppressing Family, and even a part of the four Noble Families under the Celestial Travel Sect, standing alongside the Yun, Hong, and Cao Families.

Later on, the Shen Family fell into decline, their inherited bloodline weakened, eventually losing the opportunity to awaken due to thin bloodlines.
