If that were truly the case, this woman's acting before was too superb.
"Fairy, give me your hand."
Qin Xuan extended his hand towards Qianqian.
Qianqian, at a loss, bewilderedly handed her hand to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan's hand held Qianqian's fingers, then he traced from her fingertips all the way to her wrist, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.
After a long while, he released her hand and looked at Qianqian seriously.
"Fairy, I just checked your bones. Your bone age is not great, so it's absolutely impossible for you to have been here before."
Listening to these words, Qianqian hesitated and nodded.
"Perhaps it's due to other reasons that I've misremembered these memories. Maybe I've read too many Sect texts and have mistakenly attributed the events of our ancestors to myself."
Smiling self-deprecatingly, Qianqian took a deep breath and walked towards the stone door.
"Do you need my help?"
Qin Xuan hastily asked.
Qianqian, however, shook her head.
"Young Master, rest assured, I already know how to open this stone door. I alone am enough."
Walking to the side of the stone door, Qianqian gently tapped several places on the stone door, then her hands quickly formed a Seal. After a long while, she dripped a drop of fresh blood onto the stone door.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, the originally dark brown stone door was quickly stained a vibrant red by the fresh blood.
"Creak!"
The heavy stone door slowly opened, and a stone-paved road appeared before the two of them.
The road, paved with bluestone, looked incredibly neat and spotless. It also carried a layer of shimmering light, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
"Young Master, let's go. Our Sect's secret treasure is here, and perhaps there's something inside that will surprise you."
Qianqian said with a smile, then pulled Qin Xuan's hand and strode into the cave.
Qin Xuan advanced while looking around.
The walls of this passage behind the stone door were all paved with bluestone.
However, it was unknown what material this bluestone was made of, as a layer of light emanated from it.
Although the light was soft, it was incredibly bright, illuminating the area with extreme clarity.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a fork appeared ahead. Qianqian stopped there, glanced left and right, then firmly pointed to one of the passages.
"It's this way!"
She pulled Qin Xuan into it without question.
Looking at Qianqian's fervent gaze, Qin Xuan knew that she must have used some method to determine the location of the secret treasure.
While this would make the journey much smoother, at the same time, his apprehension towards Qianqian grew deeper and deeper.
He found this woman increasingly unfathomable.
The more so, the more vigilant Qin Xuan naturally became, fearing that this woman truly had some issues.
"Qin Xuan, be careful. This young girl's situation might not be good. Watch her carefully."
"Not good, Senior, what's going on?"
Listening to Han Ye's warning, Qin Xuan hastily asked back.
He really wanted to know what Han Ye was thinking.
"In my opinion, this young girl has likely been taken by Possession. Don't rush to say anything; observe first before speaking."
"If the situation isn't right, we should leave immediately and not waste time here!"
Possession!
Hearing this, Qin Xuan was utterly astonished.
How could this be!
He had been with Qianqian the whole way, and with the strength of his Divine Soul, no one could have controlled Qianqian's Divine Soul out of thin air without him knowing.
He hadn't expected Han Ye to suggest that Qianqian might have been taken by Possession.
"There are many types of Possession. It's not just about forcefully controlling the Physical Body in person. I know of several types, and one of them is when a powerful Divine Soul lies dormant within a Cultivator's Divine Soul, only to take Possession when the time is right."
"If there's no suitable opportunity, it can even lie dormant for many years."
"Think about it, how often does this Kun Peng Nest open? How could she have been here before? What else could it be besides Possession?"
"It's just that her memories are chaotic right now, and the parasitic Divine Soul itself hasn't figured things out yet."
Han Ye said, quite certain.
Qin Xuan was startled, then nodded.
Normally, the person themselves should be the clearest about whether they've been here or not.
How could Qianqian suddenly say she had been here?
"You also checked her bones just now. From her bone age, she's only a few years older than you. Normally, it would be impossible for her to have been here. The only possibility is that another set of memories entered her Sea of Consciousness."
"This presents two possibilities: one is that her original memories were Sealed, but at her young age, this possibility is very low because such an operation is extremely difficult."
"The other possibility is that she was taken by Possession a long time ago, but in order to avoid drawing attention to the Possession, others temporarily Sealed the memories, making her believe she had no problems!"
"When needed, the memories of the Possession will gradually surface, making the original host mistakenly believe they are her own memories. When the time is ripe, the one who took Possession will control this body at any time."
"This type of Possession is more gentle, more silent, and more lethal!"
"In contrast, my attempt at Possession on you back then carried considerable risk, and you ended up counter-killing me!"
Han Ye said, not shying away from his past attempt to take Possession of Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.
"But you don't need to be too wary. The ability to use this method of Possession indicates that this person is either weak in strength or has suffered severe injuries in the past, unable to perform a complete Possession technique, and can only temporarily hide within this person's body."
"They will only act to control when the time is ripe. Although this type of Possession can control the previous body, its strength is greatly diminished. Rest assured, even if she takes Possession of Qianqian's body, she won't be your opponent."
"We just need to wait and see what happens. If there's profit to be made, we should try, even if it means snatching chestnuts from the fire."
"If the situation changes, then retreat immediately!"
Han Ye suggested to Qin Xuan.
Listening to this, Qin Xuan nodded.
The greatest advantage of a Possessor is a powerful Divine Soul.
In terms of Divine Soul, Qin Xuan was not afraid at all.
As long as he wasn't afraid of the opponent in terms of Divine Soul, coupled with his powerful combat strength, the opponent would have no way to deal with him.
Thinking this, Qin Xuan remained silent, discreetly following, but secretly observing Qianqian non-stop.
At this moment, Qianqian was visibly excited, continuously advancing along the passage.
Various Fork in the road would appear from time to time along this passage, but Qianqian, as if prescient, would always directly choose a path and continue forward.
After another approximately one stick of incense worth of walking, Qianqian stopped.
Looking at a large bronze door ahead, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.
"We've arrived! This is the last large door. Our Star Gate's secret treasure is behind this door."
