Chapter 861 - 257: [A Disturbingly Strange Affair]
She has low mana, and even if she returns to the Domain Realm, she can only be a low-ranking demon cultivator. How could she live as comfortably as she does in this world?
"So, when you said this to the other side, what did they say? They didn’t force you into anything, did they?"
"No, not really, just..."
Lin Xianyu’s tone turned a bit odd at this point: "But I feel like that person won’t give up easily. He asked me to think it over and not rush to reject, saying he will ask me again in a couple of days."
"..."
Chen Yan grew puzzled inside.
However, after hanging up the phone, Chen Yan contacted Ouyang about this matter.
Ouyang didn’t hold back and replied quickly.
"I know about this matter, but not the specifics." Ouyang sounded a bit annoyed on the phone, and there was a hint of breathlessness: "I heard someone was sent by the higher-ups in the Inspection Bureau, way higher than my level. The task was handled by them, and they just asked us for a list.
After all, we at the Inspection Bureau have the most comprehensive list of cultivators from the Domain Realm in this world.
The bad are exterminated and suppressed, only the good ones are contacted about returning."
"Why do they want to bring cultivators from this world back to the Domain Realm?" Chen Yan asked: "The cultivators here are all of low cultivation. If they return, they’d be unimportant low-levels, so why is the Domain Realm’s official doing this?"
"No idea. The higher-ups never explain these things to us." After saying this, Ouyang roughly asked: "Do you have anything else? If not, I’m hanging up!"
"... What are you busy with? You’re panting like that? Cuddling with your girlfriend?"
"Crap! I’m chasing a snake demon! Mountain hopping, been on it for two days now. Damn, it’s tough, can I give you an address to come help?"
"Hang in there!" Chen Yan quickly hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Chen Yan couldn’t shake the feeling of something strange about it all.
The Domain Realm doesn’t lack people.
Moreover, it doesn’t lack low-level cultivators with minimal cultivation.
What’s the official... Domain Immortal Platform doing this for?
Does Lin Xianyu have some kind of value for conversion...
Her whole array of bloodlines?
Hmm, Chen Yan remembered she seemed to have some ancient lineage of a demon emperor or king—maybe this bloodline is valuable?
However, at the end of the day, this matter doesn’t have much to do with Chen Yan, so he didn’t let it trouble him much.
But, that afternoon, Lin Xianyu suddenly contacted Chen Yan again!!
"Immortal Official, save me!!!!"
Lin Xianyu cried anxiously on the phone.
"What’s going on?"
"Those people came to me again! This time they didn’t discuss it—they directly gave me a decree!"
A decree? Chen Yan was stunned.
"The decree says, I’ve been selected to return to the Domain Realm. It commands me to assemble at the World Wall on a specified date! The guide from the World Wall will take me back to the Domain Realm!!
If I don’t go in time, they’ll place me on the Inspection Bureau’s evil cultivator list, and the Inspection Bureau will come to suppress me!
Immortal Official! I have always been obeying your words! You can’t just watch me die!!!"
Chen Yan pondered for a while, then made a decision, "Alright, where are you? I’ll come find you, we’ll talk in person."
"Thank you for your rescue, Immortal Official!!" Lin Xianyu’s voice trembled with tears: "I’m willing to do anything for you!"
"No need, just earn more merit in the future!"
After hanging up, Chen Yan felt that the situation was increasingly strange.
Converting the cultivators of this world—it just doesn’t make sense.
And forcibly converting? Using unreasonable means?
It doesn’t match the usual style of the Domain Immortal Platform.
Soon, Lin Xianyu sent over the address, and it wasn’t surprising to Chen Yan.
Great National Heng Inn.

Chen Yan had to leave again, making Lu Sisi a bit disappointed. After comforting her for a moment, he suddenly seemed to remember something and casually asked, "Has your mom contacted you these days? How’s her relationship with your dad since she went back?"
Only then did Lu Sisi say, "Mom said it’s good, she and dad haven’t argued recently. Also... yesterday, she asked if I’d like to go back and stay for a few days. She also said... um..."
Lu Sisi hesitated for a moment, then continued, "She said that after all, they are my family. Even if we had conflicts, now that everything’s cleared up, I can actually go home to live since we’re not married yet. I’m still so young, cohabiting with you doesn’t seem quite right."
Chen Yan wasn’t angry but smiled: "What do you think?"
"I don’t want to leave you!" Lu Sisi’s answer was firm: "I also told my mom that."
"Hmm, did she say anything else?"
"She couldn’t change my mind, and I won’t listen to her anyway. But she said if I don’t want to move back, I could occasionally go back for a few days. She’s in poor health now and doesn’t go out much. Being home all day is quite boring, so she wants me to visit her more often.
She also said my dad regrets treating me poorly before, especially that time at school. Dad now regrets it a lot and hopes I can go back more often and stay home occasionally..."
Chen Yan listened, unfazed—these things, he naturally knew, were Lu Xiuting completing the task he assigned.
"What do you think?" Chen Yan asked casually.
"I..." This time Lu Sisi’s tone was not as firm, and after thinking about it, she said: "I wouldn’t mind going back to see her occasionally.
She mentioned something that I think makes sense.
She said, even if I marry you in the future, that side is still my family. Even a daughter who’s married off should occasionally go back to visit."
