Lin Yu walked towards the general's mansion.

In front of the gate of the general's mansion, two soldiers of the Yunqi Army were standing upright. When they saw Lin Yu coming, they immediately saluted. It was obvious that Fu Xuan had already greeted him.

After crossing the courtyard, I saw a petite figure sitting in the main seat in the conference hall. She was reviewing documents with her head down, her clothes hanging on the edge of the chair, and the token on her waist was shining with a cold light. It was the current Luofu General Fu Xuan.

"You're here pretty quick." Fu Xuan heard footsteps, raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his clear eyes, and then he regained his general's dignity, except that the fingers holding the pen paused slightly.

"Have you resolved that matter?"

"Well, it went smoothly. It wasn't too troublesome." Lin Yu smiled and walked closer. He walked around to the main seat and looked at the half-high pile of documents in front of her. He couldn't help but reach out to help her sort out the scattered pages. "Are you staying up late to review documents again? Be careful not to strain your eyes."

"I'm General Luofu, and handling official business is my duty." Fu Xuan turned his head away, but the tips of his ears were quietly red, and his fingers unconsciously clenched the pen. "You came back this time for the Metamorphosis Pond and the immortal destiny, right? I've had the Cloud Cavalry prepare passes, so we can go to the Metamorphosis Pond at any time."

Lin Yu felt warm in his heart when he saw her proud and serious look.

He leaned closer and gently cupped her chin with his palm, causing her to turn her head.

Fu Xuan's cheeks flushed instantly, and his eyes avoided him in panic, but he didn't really push him away.

Before she could react, Lin Yu lowered his head and gently touched her soft lips, like a feather brushing, with just the right amount of tenderness.

"You, you!" Fu Xuan pushed him away violently, covering her lips with her hands, her eyes wide open, her cheeks red enough to bleed, "Lin Yu! You are too presumptuous! I, I am General Luofu!"

"I know." Lin Yu smiled and rubbed her head. Seeing that she was angry but not really angry, his tone was doting. "I just think that General Fu Xuan is very cute when he is serious. I can't help but want to get close to him. By the way, I promised to go shopping with you last time. I will take you there when I finish this."

Fu Xuan's angry expression instantly collapsed. She turned her face away and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "Who, who wants you to accompany her...but you have to listen to me."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Lin Yu took the certificate she handed over from her sleeve and touched her warm fingertips.

She paused, then immediately retracted her hand, pretending to continue reviewing the documents. "General Feixiao is at Zuiyunxuan in the West Camp. She should be able to explain it to you."

Lin Yu agreed with a smile, and chatted with her for a few more words about trivial official matters before turning around and leaving the general's mansion.

When I went out, I could still hear the "rustling" sound of her hurriedly sorting documents from inside, and I couldn't help but curl the corners of my mouth.

In the "Zuiyunxuan" in the West Camp, the aroma of wine wafts from far away.

As soon as Lin Yu pushed open the wooden door, he saw Feixiao holding a wine jug and drinking. The wine flowed down the corners of her mouth, but she didn't look embarrassed at all. Instead, she showed the boldness of a general.

When she saw Lin Yu coming, she immediately patted the empty seat beside her and said, "Lin Yu! You finally came to see me! Come and sit down. This is the freshly brewed 'Yunliuzui', which is more mellow than the last time!"

Lin Yu sat down opposite her, took the wine glass and took a sip. The aroma of the wine spread on the tip of his tongue, with a clear and cool taste.

"Feixiao, I came here this time to ask about the immortal inheritance of the Chiming Clan. The elders said that I need to enter the memory veins of the Metamorphosis Pool?"

"Let's drink first! We can talk more easily after we drink." Feixiao raised his head and took another sip. When he put down the wine jug, his eyes became more serious.

"Memory is the root of the Vajra people. Every time they are reborn, they merge their memories and beliefs into a 'long river'. Over time, it becomes the mark of civilization for the entire tribe."

"If you want to achieve immortality, you must follow this river and understand what 'inheritance' really means."

She put down the wine jug, her body swaying, her eyes suddenly filled with emotion. "When I was young, I saw the Chiming people fighting desperately on the battlefield. They said, 'It doesn't matter if I die, as long as my memory remains.' I didn't understand it then, but now I understand that they are leaving their protective thoughts to future generations."

As he spoke, Feixiao wanted to raise his glass again, but he lost his balance and his body suddenly fell to one side.

Lin Yu subconsciously reached out to help, and as soon as his palm touched her shoulder, Fei Xiao leaned over with the force, his head gently resting in his arms, his warm breath with the smell of alcohol brushed across his clothes, and his voice softened a little.

"Lin Yu...you are reliable, just like the comrades I fought with before...no, you are more reliable than comrades."

Lin Yu froze for a moment, then patted her back gently, trying to be as gentle as possible, "Fei Xiao, you've drunk too much."

"Not much!" Fei Xiao nuzzled into his arms, like a ferocious beast that had let down its guard. "I know very well... there are good and bad memories. Don't get caught up in them. Find the spirit of 'protection'... that's what immortality is..."

The fox people in the tavern were used to Feixiao's drunken state, so they just smiled and shook their heads, and did not go forward to disturb him.

Lin Yu held her like this, listening to her talk about the past wars intermittently, until her breathing gradually stabilized, then he carefully helped her to the soft couch next to him and covered her with a thin blanket.

As soon as he stood up, Fei Xiao suddenly muttered, "That guy Jing Yuan... must be slacking off in the chess pavilion again... You go find him, he knows more than me..."

Lin Yu smiled helplessly, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, then turned and left Zuiyunxuan and walked towards Changletian's chess pavilion.

The chess pavilion is suspended between the clouds, and black and white chess pieces are scattered on the bluestone chessboard.

Jing Yuan was holding a folding fan, deep in thought facing the chessboard. The sunlight fell on him, revealing a lazy and calm look.

Seeing Lin Yu, he smiled and waved, "You're just in time. I've been stuck on this game for half an hour. Can you help me take a look?"

Lin Yu sat down and pointed his finger at the corner of the chessboard, "Jing Yuan, this move of 'taking advantage of the situation' can break the game."

"Oh? It's the same idea as your handling of the Arbitration Star Region." Jing Yuan's eyes lit up, and after making a move, he changed the subject, "Fei Xiao didn't get you drunk, did she? She always likes to talk about the past when she's drunk."

"I did drink a lot, and I even fell asleep in Zuiyunxuan." Lin Yu said helplessly, "She mentioned that the core of memory is the thought of 'protection'?"

"That's right." Jing Yuan put away his folding fan, his tone becoming more serious. "Immortality isn't 'longevity', it's 'inheritance'. The Chiming people have undergone a transformation, seemingly forgetting their past, but in reality, they have integrated the desire to 'protect Luofu' and 'continue civilization' into their memories."

“Once you enter the context, don’t just look at the pictures. You must grasp the ‘thoughts’ hidden within them. That is the essence of immortality.”

Lin Yu's mind suddenly became clear, and he stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your guidance, I will go to the Metamorphosis Pool now."

"Go ahead." Jing Yuan waved his hand.

By the Metamorphosis Pond, Dan Heng, Ji Zi and others had already been waiting. The elder of the Chiming Clan held a scepter in his hand. The water in the pond was clear, and cyan-gold light patterns flowed underwater, which was the manifestation of the memory veins.

The elder handed over a scale pendant and said, "Put it on, stabilize your consciousness, and follow the light pattern."

Lin Yu took the pendant and stepped into the pool.

The warm pool water wrapped around his whole body, cyan-gold light patterns flooded into his consciousness, and countless fragments of memories unfolded before his eyes.

Children learn swordsmanship, die in battle, and pass on their beliefs...

The silver-white energy that balanced his destiny helped him sort out his emotions. He did not indulge in the images, but only grasped the "protective heart" behind each memory.

When the last memory flowed through, the cyan-gold light pattern condensed into a dragon pattern, the mark of immortal destiny! Lin Yu opened his eyes, and cyan-gold energy appeared in his palm, carrying the weight of inheritance.

"Success!" Lin Yu said excitedly.

The elder looked at Lin Yu and nodded, although it was against the rules to let outsiders enter the metamorphosis pool.

But who is Lin Yu? He is a multi-destined traveler, and his character is recognized by the generals of the major immortal boats.

Randomly speculating about Lin Yu, he is not qualified to be an elder of the Chiming tribe.
