Everyone looked at Lynn Luyao with strange expressions, their gazes sweeping across her face.
They all wanted to glean something from Lynn Luyao's expression.
But to their disappointment, Lynn Luyao was almost expressionless.
If it could be called indifference, it wasn't quite that; there was a hint of a smile, but not even the slightest trace of it.
In summary, it could be described in two words.
Calmness.
Lynn Luyao's expression was as tranquil as a still pond.
Even her eyes were as calm as those of a corpse.
However, the comparison to a corpse was somewhat harsh; rather, her gaze resembled two bottomless pits, revealing nothing at all.
While eyes are said to be the windows to the soul, allowing one to see many things,
this saying did not apply to Lynn Luyao; nothing could be discerned from her at all.
Her gaze was more composed than that of those ancient Fellows who had lived for thousands of years.
Even knowing what awaited her in the Endless Sea, Lynn Luyao remained resolute and unwavering.
At the very beginning, Lynn Luyao was already captivated by Lin Song.
However, before any of the older brothers spoke up, she wondered if she would even get a chance.
Perhaps someone would be willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of everyone else?
In reality, no such person appeared; each one was more afraid of death than the last. Lin Song felt disappointed, but Lynn Luyao herself was not disheartened. In fact, she secretly felt relieved that no one had stepped forward. If someone had, it would have meant she wouldn’t get a turn, and that would have left her feeling sad for a long time.
Lynn Luyao harbored a great secret, one that no one knew about.
All anyone knew was that during the last attack from the Sea Tribe, she had been taken away by them. What happened during that time was a mystery even to her. The next time she appeared, she was found drifting on the beach and brought back to the Lin family.
Lynn Luyao had always wanted to know what had transpired during those nineteen years spent with the Sea Tribe, from the ages of six to fifteen.
Everyone also understood that Lynn Luyao's extraordinary talent and terrifying cultivation level were undoubtedly related to her time with the Sea Tribe.
Otherwise, given her parents' abilities, it would have been impossible for such a formidable talent to emerge. Even considering the potential of the Red Demon Tribe members, it was unlikely they could produce someone like her.
Often, in order to obtain something, one must pay a certain price.
The price Lynn Luyao paid was the loss of her childhood; inexplicably taken to the Sea Tribe and just as inexplicably returned, she had no memory of what had happened during that time.
Now, she took the initiative to propose accompanying Wei Chen to the Endless Sea as a guide, hoping to recover those lost memories.
Lin Song deeply understood Lynn Luyao's thoughts.
But there was no doubt that Lynn Luyao carried the bloodline of the Red Demon Tribe; that had not changed. Why bother to investigate so much?
Why pursue it?
Lin Song looked at Lynn Luyao and said calmly, "Luluo, you shouldn't go. Focus on your cultivation; you are the future of our Red Demon Tribe."
Everyone agreed with Lin Song's words. Even those who were selfish and self-serving did not want Lynn Luyao to risk her life. The future of the Red Demon Tribe truly depended on her.
Lynn Luyao replied lightly, "Grandfather, my mind is made up. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
Upon hearing this, Lin Song felt even more resentment toward those selfish individuals. If it weren't for their self-interest, there would be no need for Lynn Luyao to step forward.
Indeed, Lynn Luyao's decision to step up was entirely due to their inaction.
Moreover, Lin Song understood Lynn Luyao's character deeply; she was someone who wouldn't back down until she saw the end of a situation. Once she made up her mind, it was hard to change it.
Lin Song thought to himself as he looked at Lynn Luyao, "Perhaps it's not so bad if Luluo goes. What if Wei Chen, Young Master, has the ability to return alive? With Luluo's beauty and intelligence, she should be able to impress him, right?"
Since there was no turning back, Lin Song began to think positively. If Wei Chen returned safely with Lynn Luyao by his side all along, their feelings would surely develop... If she could marry into the Dark Magic Royal Family, what more could one ask for? It would be a tremendous opportunity.
With this thought in mind, Lin Song temporarily set aside the dangers of the Endless Sea and said lightly, "Since you've made your decision, then follow your heart."
"I understand," Lynn Luyao nodded in agreement.
She was well aware of the dangers ahead. The Endless Sea was unlike any other place; if they were attacked, there would be no room to escape, and reinforcements would be nonexistent. The risk level was extremely high, with a nearly ninety-nine percent chance of death.
But what Lynn Luyao wanted was that one percent of hope.
Even if it meant that if she could find out about the events of Nineteen Years, then even death would not matter.
Lynn Luyao's greatest wish was to uncover the memories of Nineteen Years.
As long as she could find those memories, death would be just death; what was there to fear?
There was a certain aura about Lynn Luyao, one that suggested she feared nothing, or perhaps simply did not care about anything.
That aura, accentuated by her presence, made her seem both mysterious and noble.
Lin Song nodded to himself. He was convinced that as long as Wei Chen could return safely, and Lynn Luyao returned with him, then the Red Demon Tribe would truly have hope.
...
Lin Song called Lynn Luyao into a room and spread a map before her. He said calmly, "Luluo, if you insist on going, I won't stop you. This map is of the Endless Sea. You need to memorize the directions and islands marked on it. Otherwise, when you guide Wei Chen, Young Master, it will be useless. Not only will you face his blame, but there will also be danger. Keep this map firmly in your mind; it may prove useful at a critical moment."
"This map is the result of countless lives lost from our Red Demon Tribe; it is not comprehensive and cannot be. After all, the Endless Sea is vast."
"Take a look first. Once you've memorized everything, I'll take you to find Wei Chen, Young Master."
After hearing Lin Song's words, Lynn Luyao nodded slightly and squinted at the map. Half an hour later, she had committed everything on the map to memory. Only then did Lin Song feel assured enough to take Lynn Luyao to find Wei Chen.
"Grandfather, I've met Wei Chen, Young Master. During the Demon Arena event, he defeated Ginger Guest with his swordsmanship; it was truly impressive," Lynn Luyao said lightly.
Lin Song sighed, "Indeed, he is an extraordinary person, very humble, and of such noble status. If you could marry into the Dark Magic Royal Family, it would be a tremendous boost for our Red Demon Tribe."
Hearing Lin Song's straightforward words, Lynn Luyao showed no signs of embarrassment. She nodded lightly and replied, "I understand."
Marrying, huh?
Every woman eventually gets married.
Lynn Luyao recalled the scene in the Arena where Wei Chen had suppressed Ginger Guest with his swordsmanship, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
"Marrying Wei Chen, Young Master would be quite a good outcome, wouldn't it?" Lynn Luyao thought to herself.
Lin Song continued, "Wei Chen, Young Master is a remarkable individual. If you can persuade him to turn back while on your journey, please do so. No matter how you look at it, we cannot let him die in the Endless Sea; that would be a disaster."
If Wei Chen were to perish in the Endless Sea, there was no doubt that Lynn Luyao would also meet her end.
The hope of the Red Demon Tribe would vanish, and they would suffer oppression from the Black Magic Clan. No one could predict how much they could retain.
Lin Song hoped against hope that under Lynn Luyao's persuasion, Wei Chen would turn back and avoid the dangers of the Endless Sea.
But Lin Song's calculations were completely off.
Lynn Luyao's hope was to delve deeper into the Endless Sea to perhaps uncover what had happened during those lost Nineteen Years and what experiences she had truly gone through.
She would not advise Wei Chen to turn back; instead, she would tempt Wei Chen to delve deeper. This was something Lin Song had not considered.
Upon arriving at Wei Chen's residence, Lin Song brought Lynn Luyao before Wei Chen, bowing deeply and saying, "Young Mistress, this is our Red Demon Tribe's most outstanding young talent, named Lynn Luyao. What do you think about having her as your guide to the Endless Sea?"
As soon as Wei Chen saw Lynn Luyao, memories flooded back from the time in Dragon City at the Demon Arena, where that remarkable girl achieved the best results outside of the Three Great Clans.
Wei Chen had a certain impression of Lynn Luyao.
Looking at Lynn Luyao, Wei Chen smiled lightly and said, "Hello, my name is Wei Chen. I saw you in the Demon Arena; you left a deep impression on me."
"Is that so?" Lynn Luyao replied with a faint smile. "Young Mistress, it was you who suppressed Ginger Guest with your swordsmanship and defeated him in the Arena. That is true talent."
It was neither flattery nor sycophancy; Lynn Luyao's words expressed genuine respect for the first Young Talent in the Demon Realm.
"Let's not talk about that. Back then, I knew nothing and had no combat ability; I could only rely on my swordsmanship to fight Ginger Guest and was almost defeated," Wei Chen humbly responded.
Hearing this, Lynn Luyao shook her head and said, "Young Mistress need not be modest. Your talent is unparalleled in the Demon Realm, especially in swordsmanship; I doubt anyone can surpass you."
Swordsmanship in the Demon Realm was not particularly strong, and Wei Chen's skills were indeed rare.
Hearing such praise from a beautiful girl made Wei Chen quite pleased.
The two gradually began to converse more comfortably. Everything was going well; there was no dissatisfaction or need for a replacement—Lynn Luyao would be the guide.
Lin Song felt he had nothing to do with it now. He wanted to give Lynn Luyao a score of ninety-nine out of a hundred for her performance; the remaining one point was to prevent her from becoming too proud.
"Luluo, whether you can bear the future of our Red Demon Tribe depends on your performance this time at the Endless Sea. You must ensure that Wei Chen, Young Master, returns safely and doesn't venture too deep into the Endless Sea to meet his demise," Lin Song thought to herself.
...
The next day, under clear skies, the Warship set sail, leaving Red Demon City and heading towards the Endless Sea.
Under Lynn Luyao's guidance, the Warship flew towards the nearest sea area and soon reached the vast ocean.
Yan Qiqi had no objections to Lynn Luyao's presence. She felt indifferent about any woman appearing beside Wei Chen; she neither felt joy nor sorrow and could maintain good relations with them.
As for Lynn Luyao, Yan Qiqi had even less to say. After all, Lynn Luyao seemed gentle and pleasant. Compared to the alluring Ji Min, Yan Qiqi preferred spending time with Lynn Luyao; it was a much more comfortable feeling.
Lynn Luyao also began to recognize the women around Wei Chen. She genuinely envied Yan Qiqi for being able to stand beside such a formidable Young Talent and receive Wei Chen's affection. As a normal woman, how could Lynn Luyao not feel a twinge of jealousy?
But it was merely jealousy, not hatred.
After several hours, they had completely distanced themselves from the Red Demon Tribe's territory. In the distance, the entire Demon Realm appeared as if it were a small island on the horizon.
