"Senior, have you perhaps deduced something? Could you please tell Yuexi?"

Ji Yun ignored Yue Xi's words and continued to stare at the water, becoming more and more engrossed in it. Even the fairy's helpless appearance was beautiful.

Sure enough, a figure swept across the sky and immediately came down when she saw Yuexi by the lake.

"Junior Sister Yuexi, I've come to find you." Li Wunian landed and stood next to Yuexi.

Seeing Yuexi staring at her blankly, Li Wunian asked in confusion.

"Hmm? What are you spacing out for?"

"Senior Sister Wunian, I just received a message from the sect saying that there will be a major competition soon, and I'm currently considering it."

Yuexi snapped out of her daze and changed the subject, not wanting Wunian to notice anything amiss.

Li Wunian grabbed Yuexi's hand: "I came to find you because of this. Each peak has to send ten disciples to compete, and the first place winner will receive the Wuyue Immortal Sword."

"It seems Yuexi won't get the Immortal Sword. What about the other rewards?"

"The second-ranked person will receive a Azure Phoenix Spirit Beast Egg, which is laid by the sect's divine beast. The third-ranked and below will receive some spirit swords, pills, and cultivation techniques."

"Huh? Raising spirit beasts requires a lot of spirit stones and medicinal herbs, which I can't afford right now... Besides, my strength is probably at the bottom."

Yuexi became somewhat self-deprecating, after all, there were many Lingyun Sect disciples who were stronger than her.

Li Wunian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I asked my master. This competition uses a points system. The more people you defeat, the more points you get. You still have a chance."

"Yes, I will do my best. You can do your best too, Senior Sister Wunian."

"We need to make good preparations during this time. I'm going to go out and collect some medicinal herbs so that Lingcaotang can help me refine some pills. Yuexi, will you come with me?"

“Okay.” Yuexi readily agreed.

"Let's go, I've already made an appointment with Senior Brother." Li Wunian grabbed Yuexi's hand and flew towards the mountain gate.

Yuexi was a little surprised: "Senior sister has already made an appointment with senior brother."

"Hmm? You don't want to? I remember you used to go out with your senior brother quite often."

"Who does it often..." Yuexi said shyly, quickening her pace as she flew towards the mountain gate.

Yuexi is in a good mood now, because she can see her senior brother again.

Ji Yun looked at this fairy-like woman and realized she was completely ignoring his words; she really was a love-struck fool.

Outside the mountain gate.

Lin Shengwen, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over when he saw Li Wunian and Yuexi arrive.

Lin Shengwen asked gently, "Junior Sister Yuexi, how is your recovery?"

“It’s perfectly fine, don’t worry, senior brother.” Yuexi replied happily, and stepped forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Shengwen.

"It's good that Junior Sister is alright. Last time, it was because I didn't take good care of her. I've been blaming myself day and night for not being able to protect her."

Lin Shengwen spoke with a sincere expression, and Yuexi was deeply moved upon hearing it.

Ji Yun got goosebumps. This bastard was talking so cheesy. Are all playboys like this?

"Stay away from him!" Ji Yun said sternly.

"No, this time I want to go with my senior brother."

Yuexi felt a surge of rebellion. Her senior brother was so considerate of her; she couldn't let him be hurt any longer.

"Hmm? You dare disobey me?"

"Why do we have to stay away from Senior Brother? It doesn't bother him."

"I find him annoying, and the things he says are disgusting." Ji Yun felt nauseous.

"Senior brother is just worried about me, senior, please let me go with him, I beg you, senior~"

"..." Ji Yun had a bit of a headache; this fairy was actually acting coquettishly towards him.

Yuexi said again, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes. Thank you, senior."

The sweet voice struck Ji Yun again, causing him to lose another bar of health.

Ji Yun recalled the plot: Lin Shengwen saved Jiang Xue in the Stone Poison Cave, and the two created some ambiguous atmosphere. Jiang Xue suddenly kissed Lin Shengwen. Yue Xi was not present at the time and did not notice.

"Don't get too close to him."

"Okay, senior."

"A little further away."

"We won't be able to see our senior brother any further."

Yuexi looked at her senior brother, who was a few feet away, and was speechless. This senior was too hateful.

Ji Yun said calmly, "Then don't look."

"But I heard from Senior Sister Wunian that some junior sisters in the sect have already expressed their love for Senior Brother. If I keep distancing myself from him, what will happen if Senior Brother ignores me?"

"It has nothing to do with me."

"Senior, you're a great demon!" Yuexi said angrily.

Ji Yun's lips curled up: "Didn't you already know? I am capricious and ruthless, and I kill without blinking an eye."

"......"

Yuexi then realized that the being in her sea of ​​consciousness was the one who would wipe out an entire family at the slightest disagreement, and who absorbed the blood and evil energy to become the supreme demon.

Yuexi thought to herself, "This is terrifying." From the moment they started talking by the lake, she had almost let her guard down with just a few words from this demon. His methods of bewitching people were truly worthy of a demonic master.

Lin Shengwen noticed that Yuexi was a bit far away from him and wanted to get closer, but then he noticed several figures in the distance.

Li Wunian said, "Senior Brother, there are people ahead, dressed in Ningxiang Pavilion attire. They look like they are from Ningxiang Pavilion."

After getting closer.

The fairies of Ningxiang Pavilion all had graceful figures, and every move they made was full of charm.

"Oh, aren't these the people from Lingyun Sect? Jiang Xue from Ningxiang Pavilion greets you all. Fellow Daoist Lin, do you remember me?"

"Hehehe... Sister Xue is teasing Young Master Lin again."

Jiang Xue's words made the fairies of Ningxiang Pavilion giggle.

Li Wunian looked at Lin Shengwen and asked, "Does Senior Brother know them?"

"We met once," Lin Shengwen said calmly.

"It wasn't just a one-time meeting; Young Master Lin helped our Sister Xue a great deal back then, and she was even prepared to repay him with her body..."

The fairy from Ningxiang Pavilion spoke directly, her coquettish tone making one wonder.

Yuexi frowned: "Senior Brother, is it true?"

"Don't listen to their nonsense. I just helped Fairy Jiang Xue catch a spirit beast, and they were just thanking me," Lin Shengwen hurriedly explained.

Jiang Xue smiled and asked, "Where are you headed, Fellow Daoist Lin?"

"We are preparing to head to the Stone Poison Cave to find some spiritual herbs."

"Together? We're also planning to go there."

“Okay, let’s go together then, so we can look out for each other,” Lin Shengwen agreed.

Yuexi was still pondering what her senior brother had just said: Fairy Jiang Xue? They'd only met once, yet he addressed her so intimately?

Ji Yun looked at Yue Xi, who was silent, and asked, "Are you jealous?"

"No, I trust my senior brother. He's so outstanding, there are many women who admire him. I can...understand."

After hearing Yuexi's words, Ji Yun really wanted to open her brain to see what this "love-struck brain" really looked like, since she could just force such a thing to be true.

"Actually, you can speak freely with me. I have lived for thousands of years and have seen a lot of love and relationships. I can help you with some guidance."
