The reason why Gu Changge thought this way was naturally related to the many webnovel tropes he was familiar with from his previous life.
No matter how you looked at it, Lin Tian didn't seem like a normal waste-of-space youth.
Even his sister, the proud daughter of heaven, would feel nervous in front of him, but he actually dared to secretly follow her in the shadows.
Moreover, just now, through Gu Changge's perception, the youth hiding in the shadows was indeed Lin Tian.
However, after being detected, he quickly left and did not linger.
Such thoughts were not something an ordinary youth could have.
"This means that your advice worked. He knows how to care for you as his sister now."
"In this world, if one cannot cultivate, they're truly no different from a cripple."
"After all, you're only thinking of his well-being."
Gu Changge smiled, continuing to converse casually with Lin Qiuhan, trying to extract more information about Lin Tian.
As his sister, no one could possibly know Lin Tian better than Lin Qiuhan.
Naturally, Lin Qiuhan had no idea of Gu Changge's ulterior motives. Hearing his words, she couldn't help but feel somewhat moved.
"Is Young Master Gu comforting me?" she thought.
She then continued to share various things about Lin Tian.
Gu Changge smiled as he conversed with her, subtly probing for more information.
For example, Lin Tian had recently started learning alchemy and had been asking his sister for various alchemical materials.
Additionally, he was proficient in some ancient formation techniques. A few days ago, during a class, he had pointed out errors made by a few elders, shocking everyone present.
Gu Changge had roughly pieced together the situation and slowly formed a plan in his mind.
The new child of destiny? Harvesting him would be easier than expected.
Once the issue of fate backlash was resolved, Gu Changge would have even more ways to deal with things.
"I didn't expect Young Master Gu to understand me so well..." Lin Qiuhan said, somewhat touched.
"Usually, even Xiao Tian doesn't understand me. He thinks I'm too harsh on him."
When Lin Qiuhan spoke of this, there was a hint of helplessness in her voice, but also a sense of relief. She felt that Lin Tian had finally woken up and that her years of concern had not been in vain.
What was even more fortunate was that when many people in her family questioned her actions, Young Master Gu actually understood her this much.
This made her feel a strange emotion inside.
Having cultivated for more than twenty years, Lin Qiuhan finally understood what it meant to feel moved.
After all, this was their first meeting!
In the past, so many young and talented men had pursued her, but she had never been moved.
Gu Changge, naturally, could guess the thoughts Lin Qiuhan had at this moment.
After all, these were all within his expectations.
With his identity as a high-ranking, wealthy, and handsome man from the Upper Realm, combined with the charm and insights from his previous life, even a smart woman like Su Qingge had been thoroughly under his control.
Lin Qiuhan was so innocent that it was far too easy to make her heart flutter.
It was almost effortless.
Dealing with her was far easier and more interesting than dealing with Lin Tian.
Su Qingge, who was quietly observing all of this, only deepened her understanding of Gu Changge.
His methods of manipulating hearts were indeed a set of tricks.
"Lin Tian, the young brother, is able to change his ways, which is naturally a good thing. I suppose he was just a pearl hidden in the dust. After all, in just a few days, he was able to point out the mistakes of the elders. Such a talent…"
At this moment, Gu Changge seemed to be speaking with some emotion, as if it wasn't intentional.
It was purely a moment of sentiment.
"Xiao Tian, how could he be a pearl hidden in dust? And his talent... He couldn't even form a Spiritual Sea before…"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiuhan couldn't help but laugh, but only half of the words left her lips.
She froze for a moment, vaguely sensing that something was off.
But she couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong.
"Eh, if he couldn't even form a Spiritual Sea, then how could he be refining pills? Could it be that Lin Tian, the young brother, has learned some ancient method?"
"I've heard of some ancient methods in the Upper Realm, where cultivators don't need a Spiritual Sea to successfully refine pills. It seems that Lin Tian, the young brother, truly has great fortune on his side."
Gu Changge said this with apparent surprise, speaking to himself.
Since Lin Qiuhan couldn't figure it out, he decided to lead her in this direction, and that would be perfect.
Seeing Lin Qiuhan lost in thought with a slightly confused expression, Gu Changge knew that it was time to stop.
He smiled but didn't say anything more.
Meanwhile.
After Gu Changge discovered his trail, Lin Tian decided not to continue following him and took the opportunity to leave.
His face looked grim, and a surge of jealousy bubbled up in his heart.
Of course, the main reason was that lingering obsession.
From his current perception, Gu Changge's strength was indeed formidable, but since he had been reborn through the possession of a broken soul, Lin Tian wasn't sure how powerful Gu Changge had become.
But what he didn't expect was that the sister who had always been so harsh on him would suddenly show such a shy, feminine side in front of another man.
And this was just their first meeting!
This scene made Lin Tian feel uneasy, as if something that belonged to him was being taken away.
He clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked.
However, the mental fortitude he had cultivated in his previous life wasn't for nothing.
He quickly calmed himself down and silently thought, "This so-called Young Master Gu is indeed up to no good. Just looking at his demeanor, he's clearly no good. I need to make sure Lin Qiuhan is on guard against him, or she might fall into his trap."
"Originally, it was you who provoked me, so don't blame me for taking action."
Earlier, he had been considering whether to take action against Gu Changge because of the matter with the white-robed woman's constitution. But now, he had a perfect reason to make a move.
Gu Changge had provoked him first, inserting himself into the situation!
As night fell, the Central Heavenly Domain was in a frenzy due to the return of the Lin family's ancestor from the Upper Realm. News spread everywhere, causing a commotion.
Countless cultivators were discussing it.
Messages were being sent out from the Lin family, creating waves in every ancient city.
Soon, various forces and sects were shaken, and they sent their disciples and family members to visit.
Meanwhile, in the palace arranged for Gu Changge by the Lin family, he stood by the window with his hands clasped behind his back. The moonlight was hazy, and his dark robe fluttered in the night wind, giving off a deep, mysterious aura.
His expression was calm and indifferent, clearly deep in thought.
He had almost figured out the route that the newly emerged child of destiny, Lin Tian, was following.
It was the all-too-common trope of a powerful soul possessing a new body and being reborn.
After all, judging from Lin Tian's reactions, it didn't seem like he was someone who knew what would happen in the future.
With this, it would be quite easy to deal with Lin Tian.
However, what really surprised Gu Changge was that this guy had actually been staring at Su Qingge outside the hall?
He, the villain, had always been the one to covet other people's women.
Now, the child of destiny was setting his sights on his woman?
If he was looking for death, he didn't need to rush it so eagerly.
As a leek, one should have the awareness of being a leek.
