Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 300: Chapter 238: The Situation Is Not Good

Not even Lin Lu thought the battle displayed in the Memory Sphere was anything special, let alone from Yue Linger’s perspective.

The unknown female cultivator and Lin Lu used Talismans at the same time, and almost simultaneously fell victim to each other’s Talismans. Then one was controlled, and the other was healed. In the end, without casting any other spells, they solely relied on the effects of the Talismans to determine the winner.

It was utterly uninteresting.

Yue Linger pointed to Lin Yao and said, “She used a Control Talisman, right? I noticed that after you were hit by the talisman, your movements slowed down.”

Liang Lu nodded, “That’s right, she used an Air Stagnation Talisman, a second-tier Talisman. It has wide range control and is very effective, truly formidable.”

“Oh~ I see!”

Becoming as familiar with second-tier Talismans as Yue Linger, a second-tier Talisman Master, was out of the question.

“If I remember correctly, the Air Stagnation Talisman isn’t a common Control Talisman. The difficulty of drawing it is not low; it’s almost on par with some third-tier Talismans. This female cultivator’s ability to use this talisman means she must have put in painstaking effort and practiced diligently,” Yue Linger remarked.

With a hint of pride, Liang Lu said, “I have defeated her many times already. It’s only natural she would try harder in the competition.”

“If she’s so eager to win, why didn’t she attack you the moment you were controlled?” Yue Linger asked.

Normally, one would follow up with an attack right after gaining control. However, the content shown by the Memory Sphere displayed the female cultivator slowly approaching Liang Lu, which was illogical. It seemed as if the female cultivator was deliberately going easy on her.

Liang Lu replied, “She was scared off by my Talismans. She has attacked before, but… do you know about the Spiritual Energy Blockage Talisman?”

“Of course! Is it that Spiritual Energy Blockage Talisman from Jiang Cheng? Oh wait, no one besides him could draw it. It must be his,” Yue Linger expressed.

“You know about it?” Liang Lu said, surprised.

She had thought that Jiang Cheng’s Talismans were his private collection. Unexpectedly, this female cultivator named Yue Linger was also aware of Jiang Cheng’s secrets.

Watching Liang Lu’s surprised expression filled Yue Linger with pride.

Poor Liang Lu, does she have any understanding of what it means to be Jiang Cheng’s only daughter?

She had supported Jiang Cheng since the beginning of his venture and had been with him up to now, a female cultivator not easily matched by any junior sisters joining later.

Yue Linger secretly calculated her status beside Jiang Cheng; aside from Liu Qing, it was her!

Although Liang Lu was a princess, that was her social status. Beside Jiang Cheng, she was a younger sister and had to humbly take her place at the back of the line.

In a tone not without a bit of show-off, Yue Linger said, “I almost know all of Jiang Cheng’s Talismans. The one you used in this match was an Overload Healing Talisman, right?”

“Yes.”

“I could recite the principle behind that talisman backward.”

After hearing this, Liang Lu’s eyes brightened, “Can you draw it as well?”

Yue Linger immediately shrank back a bit, well aware of her own limitations, “I can draw, but Jiang Cheng has to agree to it. If Jiang Cheng doesn’t consent, I wouldn’t dare to sell it to you privately. After all, it’s his Talisman idea.”

Liang Lu let out a small sigh. She had been thinking Yue Linger seemed like a rather competent Talisman Master, but it turned out she was nothing like she appeared; the imposing Yue Linger was actually docile before Jiang Cheng. If Liang Lu wanted to use a Talisman, she still had to depend on Jiang Cheng’s approval; nothing had changed.

Speaking of Jiang Cheng, since just now, his expression had been a bit off.

He was intently staring at the images displayed by the Memory Sphere, silent, seemingly pondering something.

Given the level of Talisman exchange in this match, there was no value in researching it at all.

“Jiang Cheng, what are you looking at?” Liang Lu asked.

Yue Linger also noticed something was amiss with Jiang Cheng, her eyes repeatedly shifting between the Memory Sphere’s images and Jiang Cheng.

“I have a feeling I might have seen this female cultivator somewhere,” Jiang Cheng said, pointing at the female cultivator’s figure on the screen.

“You know her? That’s not very likely, is it?” In Liang Lu’s memory, Lin Yao was beautiful but always kept a low profile. Even when she went to the cafeteria, she chose times when it was empty and wore a hat to cover half her face.

“Jiang Cheng, you must be mistaken. I don’t remember this figure at all,” Yue Linger claimed.

Jiang Cheng shook his head, “Yue, you might not know her. This figure resembles a younger schoolmate of mine from high school. But her talent was mediocre during that time; she wouldn’t qualify to be Liang Lu’s opponent.”

A schoolmate from high school?

Yue Linger, confronted with unfamiliar terminology, immediately became alert.

She had thought she had a full grasp of Jiang Cheng’s relationships, but it turned out that he had a female relationship she was unaware of.

And considering the chronology, this “high school junior” knew Jiang Cheng even before Liu Qing did!

Could it be?

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Yue Linger felt an ominous premonition about potentially losing her place in the family hierarchy.

As Jiang Cheng continued looking at the figure in the Memory Sphere, he became more convinced that it was Lin Yao. However, his rationality told him that this seemed highly unlikely.

According to the game’s plot, Lin Yao, with her “Natural Charm Body,” was discovered by an Elder from the Hehuan Sect. This meant that before then, Lin Yao couldn’t be considered a “genius.”

How could she be the genius female cultivator who “wasted Liang Lu’s dozens of Talismans”?

If Lin Yao indeed became Liang Lu’s opponent, wouldn’t that throw the entire game’s plot into chaos?

“You said she resembles your high school junior? She must be quite beautiful then if she could look somewhat like Lin Yao,” Liang Lu teased Jiang Cheng.

Pointing to the figure, Jiang Cheng asked, “What did you say her name was?”

“Lin Yao, why?” Liang Lu casually responded, but Jiang Cheng’s expression seemed to be silently conveying a dramatic truth.

Could it be that the always composed Jiang Cheng was shocked?
