Once finished, Han Yu activated his jade slip and called for ng Jueyan.
A few minutes later, light footsteps approached from outside the room.
Knock.
Knock.
The door slowly opened.
ng Jueyan entered cautiously.
The first thing she saw was Ju Fan sitting cross legged on the floor in deep ditation. Cold Qi drifted around him while his expression remained perfectly calm and lifeless.
"Master?" she called out softly.
At that exact mont, she suddenly felt a hand rest lightly on her shoulder.
ng Jueyan's body trembled violently and she spun around imdiately in shock.
But then she froze... Completely froze.
Her eyes widened while her breathing stopped entirely.
She simply stared.
One second passed.
Then another.
And another.
An entire minute went by without her saying a single word.
The face before her felt impossibly familiar.
Not Ju Fan.
Not the cold Legacy Disciple feared throughout the Blood Sect.
This was soone she thought she would never see again for the rest of her life.
"Han… Han Yu?" she finally muttered weakly.
Han Yu smiled faintly.
"So you still rember ."
His voice carried the sa relaxed tone she rembered from long ago.
ng Jueyan's mind went blank.
"Rember?" she repeated almost absentmindedly.
At first she thought Ju Fan had rely copied Han Yu's appearance sohow. Perhaps he had seen him before or learned about him through investigation.
But now…
Sothing felt different.
The expression.
The voice.
The eyes.
Everything felt far too real.
Han Yu simply chuckled softly before speaking again.
"Surely you have not forgotten your fellow acquaintance under Elder Yi."
The mont those words left his mouth, ng Jueyan nearly collapsed. That was sothing only Han Yu would know. Only soone who had truly been there all those years ago could say sothing like that.
"You…" she whispered while staring at him in disbelief. "How?"
Her reality felt like it was collapsing around her.
But slowly, her thoughts began connecting together. One mory after another surfaced in her mind. The strange kindness Ju Fan had shown her from the beginning. The way he seed unusually interested in the orthodox sects.
How he had secretly saved disciples from the Twin Leaf Peak Sect and other orthodox sects. The hidden distaste he carried toward the Slaughtered Moon Divine Blood Sect. The way he protected certain people while destroying others.
The rchant organization.
The strange thods.
The impossible sches.
All those little details she had never fully understood suddenly began fitting together perfectly.
"You…" ng Jueyan sat down heavily onto a nearby chair while staring blankly at him. "You were Han Yu all along?"
"Of course," Han Yu replied casually. "Why else would I have saved you back then?"
He smiled slightly afterward.
"And why I saved my senior brothers and sisters as well."
ng Jueyan felt completely overwheld.
It was simply too much.
The terrifying Legacy Disciple Ju Fan.
The genius creator of the Narcissus Mirrors.
The mastermind behind countless sches.
The feared inheritor of terrifying techniques.
All this ti…
It had actually been Han Yu.
The sa Han Yu she once knew from the orthodox sects.
The sa Han Yu who supposedly disappeared long ago.
She needed nearly ten full minutes before she finally managed to organize her thoughts properly.
And once she did… Everything began making sense.
Every strange event.
Every inconsistency.
Every hidden action.
Even Ju Fan's personality that seed to be a bit erratic at tis, suddenly beca understandable. She realized this was not because the man was eccentric but because it was Han Yu pretending all this ti.
"Then… everything that happened in the sect…" ng Jueyan began carefully.
But before she could finish speaking, Han Yu gently raised a finger to his lips.
"Shh…"
A sly smile appeared on his face.
"So things are better left unsaid."
ng Jueyan imdiately understood.
Her expression changed instantly.
She realized that even knowing too much could beco dangerous. The Blood Sect was already hunting invisible enemies and imaginary conspiracies. If even a fragnt of the truth ever leaked out, the consequences would beco unimaginable.
As such she forcibly buried those thoughts deep within her mind.
Han Yu nodded approvingly seeing her reaction.
"Good."
He then began explaining parts of his overall plan.
Not everything of course.
Han Yu still kept his deepest soul cultivation secrets hidden. He never explained exactly how Soul Projection worked, nor how he controlled others, nor how he managed to create a second body through revival.
ng Jueyan also wisely chose not to ask.
So secrets were simply too dangerous.
Still, Han Yu gave her enough details to understand the broader picture.
He explained how both bodies would function. Ju Fan's body would remain hidden here within the safe house most of the ti, maintaining the identity of the Blood Sect Legacy Disciple.
anwhile Han Yu's revived body would move freely outside the sect and continue expanding their influence across the continent. Whenever necessary, Han Yu could return and control Ju Fan again.
The arrangent sounded utterly insane.
ng Jueyan listened quietly for hours while Han Yu explained everything calmly.
The more she learned, the more stunned she beca.
At one point she simply stared at him blankly before finally speaking.
"You… you actually deceived the entire Slaughtered Moon Divine Blood Sect…"
Han Yu leaned back lazily.
"In a way."
ng Jueyan almost laughed from disbelief.
"In a way?" she repeated. "You infiltrated the sect for decades, beca a Legacy Disciple, manipulated the elders, built hidden organizations beneath their noses, pushed the sect into chaos and made them believe imaginary enemies existed everywhere."
She looked toward Ju Fan's ditating body.
"And now you even created a second body while keeping the first alive."
Han Yu rely smiled innocently.
When ng Jueyan saw that expression, she suddenly felt slightly speechless.
Then realization slowly dawned on her.
The terrifying Ashen Moon Remnants.
The hidden conspiracies.
The invisible enemies.
The sect destroying itself through fear and paranoia.
Almost all of it…
Had been orchestrated by a single person.
Han Yu.
And sohow…
He was still smiling casually about it.
'He's the biggest scamr in the entire world.' She was sure of it.
