"I am not a greedy person, Master."

Yun You shook her head and said softly, "I just want to know the answer—what am I to you in your heart? Am I just a little kitten or puppy that can be easily dismissed? Or am I a companion worthy of your trust?"

"If it's the former, then our current relationship is fine, and we can keep some distance from each other."

"But if it's the latter, then I indeed have the obligation to reveal my secrets because companions truly need to be open with each other."

Hearing Yun You's words, Old Jin was slightly stunned, then immediately understood the reason for the girl's question.

Indeed, before this, he really hadn't "cared" enough about this child.

He had only regarded her as a "potentially promising" little kid, which is why he had casually supported her a bit.

To be fair, he did benefit Yun You, and the little girl understood this, which is why she said she could be that kind of "kitten or puppy"...

But this was obviously not the attitude you should take with a companion.

"I understand."

Old Jin sighed with a smile and said softly, "I didn't consider this thoroughly."

"Little girl."

He stood up straight and said solemnly, "From today on, you're no longer just a little one I picked up by chance; you're my true student and, in the future, my companion as well."

"Elrond Gold promises you."

Watching Old Jin's extremely serious expression, Yun You grinned, and in her heart, she no longer had many doubts.

Seeing this, Old Jin also understood that the little girl was willing to speak out now.

His heart rejoiced, and he was just about to continue asking the previous question but suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Aurora beside him.

The latter immediately understood, nodded quickly, and ran out of the mine, waiting outside the door where no sound could be heard.

Now, no one could overhear the two's conversation anymore.

Thinking it still wasn't secure enough, Old Jin simply used the Sequence's power to create a transparent barrier around them, completely isolating all sound.

After everything was ready, Yun You extended her palm, but instead of displaying the "Red Scale," she revealed her Death God's Three-Phase Pattern.

"Master, before we get to the main topic, I want to ask you a question about the Death God Sequence."

"I believe you are a well-informed elder... So, in this world, have you ever seen an Apprentice Death God possessing two... even three different sequences?"

"Or, even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, just hearing about similar legends would suffice."

"..."

Old Jin was taken aback.

"A Death God, yet possessing different sequences simultaneously?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible; this goes against the fundamental theory of Apprentice Death Gods."

"The essence of Sequence Power is the manifestation of a person's soul nature, with each sequence having a completely different nature—not to mention incompatible like water and fire..."

"This means that different sequences can't exist within the same body because a person's soul is usually fixed from birth, without showing distinctly different traits."

"I've lived in this world for nearly a century and have never seen anyone possess multiple sequences at the same time, unless..."

As he spoke, Old Jin's expression froze.

He suddenly realized something.

Yun You was not a girl who liked to talk such nonsense or speak out of turn in serious settings.

If she brought this up so out of the blue, it meant...

"You..."

Old Jin's eyes widened, and his usually calm face was filled with incredulousness.

"Mhm."

Yun You nodded gently, not denying it.

She took a deep breath and began using the Sequence's power.

The Death God's Three-Phase Pattern shimmered and then started to reorganize and merge into a strikingly scarlet giant wolf.

This was the symbol of the Mad Dog Sequence.

The moment it appeared, Yun You's aura became wild, as if she were a fierce young wolf, giving off a feeling that was both adorable and dangerous.

But this feeling did not last long.

Soon, the wolf's head began to change, and the blood-red smoke gradually darkened, transforming into a jet-black mist, while the wolf's claws and fangs gathered together to form a sharp dagger hidden in the mist.

The Invisible Sequence quietly manifested itself.

It was a blade; though its edge was deliberately concealed, once drawn, it could deliver a deadly strike, leaving no survivors.

The overwhelming killing intent it exuded was its characteristic feature.

"There really is a second transformation..."

Old Jin stared intently at the Sequence Pattern on Yun You's palm and murmured, "This is the Invisible, an extremely rare Rare Sequence."

"Girl...you..."

He was about to say something when suddenly, that pattern began a third transformation!

The mist ultimately dissipated, the dagger shattered, and combined with the surrounding glittering lights to form a magnificent, dazzling crown.

It was supremely holy, filled with nobility and purity, but the only pity was that this crown was inverted, with its sharp spikes aimed at its owner.

The Monarch Sequence took the stage.

The lord's power made Yun You's aura rise again, in an instant surpassing Old Jin, and evoked a feeling of reverent awe in people's hearts.

"The King" knew of its nobility and was aware of how its identity might shake the world and potentially put itself in danger.

But the King did not care, for the King looked down on everything.

"This...this...!"

Old Jin was once again shocked.

It seemed he recognized the Monarch Sequence, but the shock in his heart left him almost speechless.

"Whew..."

After a long time, he let out a sigh, recovering from the immense impact, but the shock in his eyes did not fade in the slightest.

"Three sequences, Inverted Crown..."

"Unexpectedly, that distant legend is actually true, this is incredible."

"I, Elrond Gold, have actually witnessed the embodiment of that legend; heavens... what kind of fantastical destiny do you plan to bestow upon me... upon my student..."

Old Jin, who never believed in fate, subconsciously uttered the word "fate."

This made Yun You very curious.

She knew her possession of multiple sequences was certainly rare, yet she did not expect it would shock Old Jin to this extent.

Who was Old Jin? He was a top-level expert who didn't even take the Black Robe seriously, an old-time Death God respected by everyone.

But now... in front of the Inverted Crown's pattern, he was showing such disbelief.

"What exactly is that legend? And what does Old Jin actually know..."

Yun You wanted to ask, but Old Jin spoke first.

"Girl."

He raised his head and said seriously, "There shouldn't be a third person besides you and me who knows about this, right?"

"Remember."

"Absolutely... absolutely don't disclose this matter to anyone else, not even your family or friends, even the companions you trust the most cannot be told."

"Let this matter stay buried within you."
