This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 242 - 236: Actually, I’m a Genius Too!

Chapter 242: Chapter 236: Actually, I’m a Genius Too!

"Eh? Where are we going?" Yu Gejing was dizzyingly pulled by Su Youyi back to the Sect, not even knowing the destination.

"Senior Sister, I really think you have a talent for learning Array Dao. Why don’t you give it a try?" Su Youyi didn’t even turn her head back, preparing to go to the place in the sect where Daoist Skills are exchanged, to let Senior Sister Yu try it out.

After all, in her memory, Senior Sister Yu’s talent for Array Dao was undeniably strong, even if she rarely made moves, let alone had chances to leave the mountain.

Thus, although the intelligence released by the Little Bamboo House raised no doubts, it was rarely mentioned; after all, even though Array Dao is widely applicable, it is not the mainstream in the Cultivation World.

And Yu Gejing was among those rare geniuses who cultivated both in standard cultivation practices and Array Dao, reaching the Fifth Realm at such a young age.

Seeing such seriousness in Su Youyi, Yu Gejing didn’t make a sound to stop her, but silently followed.

Just now at mealtime, Su Youyi had absorbed a cluster of memories shielded outside the flawless sword heart, but it did not result in any symptoms like memory split; it felt more like watching a recorded video as a bystander.

However, these memories were not complete, mostly related to cultivation, and earlier life details were all blank.

"So now, it’s just that the innate memories are temporarily suppressed, and a little guidance should be able to awaken them." Su Youyi recalled the limited knowledge of Array Dao she knew, which were occasionally shared by Senior Sister Yu during casual chats.

Directly pointing it out might easily trigger memory disturbance, whether Divine Soul gets injured or not is entirely up to fate, so it’s better to guide gently.

The Purple Cloud Sect covers a vast area, with countless buildings in the mountains; some peaks are even floating in mid-air, and the disciples hurried past the two.

"Is this the Preaching Palace?" Su Youyi gazed at the palace built on black crystal stones about a thousand feet tall, majestic and intimidating.

"We don’t have many contribution points left; do we really want to try?" Yu Gejing was somewhat worried, as they were supposed to advance to the Inner Sect in a few days, yet now they were spending their contribution points here.

"Try! We must try!" As if her personality flipped, the once dominant Yu Gejing who once taught Su Youyi to be assertive seemed hesitant, but the usually submissive Su Youyi took the offensive.

When the two emerged from the grand hall again, they held many jade tubes filled with knowledge about Array Dao from the Second Epoch, slightly different from their Epoch; thus Su Youyi felt even learning some basic knowledge would be good for Senior Sister Yu.

When the two excitedly left, planning to return to the cave mansion to experiment, a silent figure watched Yu Gejing from beside a large pillar at the Preaching Palace.

"Ye Lingyun?" He Zhiqing recalled the name he had just learned from the Preaching elder, feeling an inexplicable ripple in his heart.

In the cave mansion, Su Youyi sat beside Yu Gejing, watching her sister absorbing one jade tube of knowledge after another.

"You might not believe this, but I seem to have an extraordinary talent for Array Dao," Yu Gejing said with strange eyes as she opened them.

The moment she touched this Array Dao knowledge, she felt as if she was naturally suited for learning Array Dao. She had just skimmed through the most basic knowledge of Array Dao, but now it felt strangely familiar, as if she could execute them at any moment.

"Could it be that I’ve been focusing on the wrong areas of effort all along? Am I actually a genius in Array Dao?" Yu Gejing pondered with her hand on her forehead. The ways to test cultivation talent or constitution in the Cultivation World were diverse, but she had never heard of testing for Array Dao talent; maybe she was the one overlooked.

Like a child who had just received a new toy, Yu Gejing eagerly spent a day memorizing all the obtained Array Dao legacies.

Outside the cave mansion.

"How does this Fury Thunder Formation look?" Yu Gejing stretched out her slender jade fingers three feet away from Su Youyi, gently waving them in mid-air.

Her body moved with her fingertips, and if seen from afar, Yu Gejing looked like she was dancing gracefully, matched with the thunder light appearing next to her, utterly dazzling.

In just three or four breaths, a palm-sized, sky-blue Array that flickered with thunder and constantly rotated appeared in Yu Gejing’s palm.

"The seventh-tier Fury Thunder Formation, its power is significantly higher compared to similar level Daoist Skills. And now I’m still not very familiar with cultivating it; if I close up for a few days, I could set this level of Array in one breath," Yu Gejing said proudly with a sense of accomplishment, then put away the Array and started boasting to Su Youyi.

"I knew Senior Sister could do it, today the Inner Sect, tomorrow the True Inheritor, and the day after tomorrow forming a Daoist pairing with Chief Li," Su Youyi teased her confident Senior Sister with a laugh.

"Dao... Daoist pairing?" Yu Gejing’s face flushed red upon hearing the term, feeling that what once seemed incredibly fanciful suddenly seemed to have a glimmer of hope.

"Is Fellow Daoist Ye present?" A loud voice came from the sky.

Su Youyi and Yu Gejing looked up together, only to see a handsome and dashing young man in a purple robe standing poised in mid-air, with a gentle expression watching the two in front of the cave mansion.

"Li...Li... Chief Li!" Yu Gejing, still flushed, saw the person she had only dreamed about.

In her urgency, she burst forth with speed far beyond her Realm, entered the cave mansion at an incredible pace, closed the door, and activated the protective Great Formation all in one go.

"This..." He Zhiqing, holding two tokens, slowly landed on the ground, somewhat at a loss as he turned to Su Youyi, not understanding what was happening with Ye Lingyun.

He had been unable to forget Ye Lingyun since he first saw her, and today happened to be the day the Steward Hall distributed Inner Sect Disciple tokens, so he volunteered for this task.

Until now, only the tokens for Chen Keqi and Ye Lingyun had not yet been sent out, which was intentionally left for last by him.

"Senior sister Ye had a major breakthrough in her cultivation, she got too excited, so she’s eager to go into seclusion." Su Youyi casually made up a reason, trying not to tarnish her senior sister’s image in the chief’s eyes.

"Mm, this is Ye Lingyun’s Inner Sect Disciple token, as for you Chen Keqi..." Li Xiuping did care a bit about the woman named Ye Lingyun, but knew what his main task was.

"Purple Cloud Sect Leader decided to take you as a Closed-door Disciple after seeing your performance in the Outer Disciple competition, here is your True Inheritor Token."

Two distinctly different tokens, one cyan and one gold, were casually tossed by Li Qingping, flying towards Su Youyi.

"I’ve been taken in by the Sect Leader as a Closed-door Disciple?" Su Youyi looked puzzled, not even fully understanding the situation.

However, she was still somewhat resistant, even if it was within the Illusion Realm, she didn’t want to suddenly have an additional master—her master had always been only one.

"Right, the Sect Leader said he won’t restrict you too much, just that you would be in name only. Things will stay as they are, but he will send someone with cultivation resources and Cultivation Techniques for you to diligently practice."

"??" Su Youyi was even more confused after hearing this. Has the Purple Cloud Sect’s history of sect leaders taking in disciples always been so hasty?

She had only seen the Sect Leader a few times in Chen Keqi’s memories, and now there was no formal disciple ceremony, no rules mentioned, just a flippant remark and that was it.

Is this a tradition of Purple Cloud Sect or a custom of this epoch...

"Just in name? That’s not unacceptable." After pondering for a while, Su Youyi realized that having such a status did indeed have its benefits.

At the very least, it would allow faster access to the most superior Daoist Skills, Sword techniques, and Cultivation Techniques in Purple Cloud Sect, and could also help her senior sister obtain various Array inheritances of this epoch.

As for what other arrangements this never-seen master had for her, she needn’t worry—after all, this was only an illusion.

"Then my thanks to Chief Li!"

After sortting things out, Su Youyi no longer hesitated and directly accepted the token.

Finished with the important matter, He Zhiqing, who should have simply turned and left, looked somewhat hesitant, standing still as if rooted to the spot.

"May I ask if Chief Li has any further instructions?" Su Youyi felt puzzled. Could it be that Brother He had already recovered his memories and was now struggling with how to awaken them?

"In a few days, I’ll be leading a team on a sect mission. I wanted to ask if you both would like to join. The rewards are quite substantial!" He Zhiqing seemed to be asking Su Youyi, but his gaze had already shifted to the cave mansion.

"Let’s go!"

Before Su Youyi could agree, a muffled voice came from the cave mansion.

Hearing such a response from Yu Gejing, He Zhiqing took a deep breath, relieved, and then smiled even more brilliantly: "Then, I’ll wait for you two at the Mountain Gate after three days."

This task was entrusted to him by an elder, who gave him a location and simply told him to take some new Inner Sect disciples for a training exercise. The rewards for this task were also unusually rich, even higher than those for previous sect missions he had undertaken.

He had passed by the training location several times before; there were no extremely dangerous beasts or deadly traps, just some minor creatures from Third or Fourth Realm.

Moreover, the scenery there was uniquely beautiful, indeed quite suitable as a training spot for Inner Sect Disciples.

After receiving this task, he immediately thought of that sister who had caught his attention, struggled for a long time before mustering up the courage to come and ask.

Thankfully, it turned out well.

Watching the previously hesitant He Zhiqing now utterly excited, he reiterated the time and place several times before taking off into the skies.

"How does it feel like even if Brother He hasn’t recovered his memories, he would still notice Senior Sister Yu?" Su Youyi thought back to Brother He’s earlier behavior, growing more certain.

"How about it?" As soon as He Zhiqing left, the so-called secluded Yu Gejing immediately ran out, catching the Inner Sect Disciple token thrown by Su Youyi and happily hugged it to her chest.

"I never expected Chief Li would personally deliver our tokens, and even actively invite us to join a mission, I’m so happy!" Yu Gejing bounced around excitedly hugging Su Youyi.

"Alright, alright, I know you’re happy. Now that our statuses are different, let’s learn more in these three days and try to help Chief Li as much as possible during the mission?"

Su Youyi shook her newly acquired True Disciple token in front of Senior Sister Yu.

"I always thought your performance on stage was so stunning, how could no elder take you in as a disciple? I didn’t expect it to be the Sect Leader who personally made you a Closed-door Disciple."

Yu Gejing was not surprised at all, instead, she was even happier for her junior sister.
