After being severely injured and falling into a coma, Song Qi was forcibly bound by a plot-driven system. She was cast as the innocent female lead in every story arc.
As long as she completed...
Lu Yuhuai, who was unconscious, twitched.
The expressions of those present were also somewhat unpleasant, and Elder He looked at Song Qi, unsure of what to say.
This little girl doesn't look like a twelve-year-old at all.
A normal child would probably be terrified and crying by now, how could she be so calm and even take a jab at everyone else?
“What you say makes a good point.” The Grand Elder nodded.
Elder Fang Yi frowned and looked at the First Elder. He had come today to find a way to make Song Qi suffer, but it seemed everyone was just watching him make a fool of himself.
Song Qi glanced at Elder Fang Yi.
“Why don’t you explain your divine sense?” Fang Hui walked in and bowed to the elders. “Twelve years old. It’s unlikely that you’re colluding with the demons at that age. But what if that age is fake? It would be better to check if Fang Yaoyao has been possessed. Although there is such a thing as extraordinary talent, the gap between her cultivation level and her divine sense cultivation is too big, which is really strange.”
Song Qi gave Fang Hui a smile: "Investigate. If it turns out I'm not, I'll turn you into an idiot."
An uproar erupted around them.
Fang Hui's face paled, and he looked at Fang Yi.
"Fang Yaoyao, you are openly defying the sect rules." Fang Yi wished he could just go down and kick Song Qi.
Song Qi smiled and said, "Oh."
She took out the sect leader's token from her sleeve.
“Master said that if anyone bullies me, I should deal with it myself.” Song Qi shook the thing in his hand. “Fang Hui has been causing me trouble time and time again since I entered the sect. I wonder where the sect rules are? He drugged me in the secret realm, causing me to be chased by magical beasts. I wonder where the sect rules are? What are the sect rules? They exist when disciplining others, but they don’t exist when it comes to our own family.”
Elder Fang Yi's face flushed red and then turned pale.
"The sect leader's token..."
“My master knew he might run into trouble during the competition, so he gave it to me beforehand. He told me he had a lot of enemies and that I should be careful.” Song Qi clicked his tongue. “I didn’t expect it to be any of the elders.”
"It's just checking if you've been possessed, why are you reacting so strongly?" Fang Hui took a step back, looking at Song Qi, already somewhat regretting his actions.
His spiritual imprint was given to him by Fang Liao, and he was definitely no match for Song Qi.
"Heh." Song Qi sneered, "Who knows if someone will tamper with things during the inspection? Besides, even a fool would know I won't be possessed."
"What Mahayana cultivator would be so bored as to try and possess me? They could just possess the Grand Elder or Elder Fang Yi directly. Wouldn't that be much better? They'd save themselves thousands of years of struggle, and they'd be closer to power, making everything they do easier. What could I possibly do?"
"Come on, give me a reason to possess my body." Song Qi looked at Fang Hui.
Fang Hui opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
System NZ: This year's villainous male supporting characters are no good at all.
There were many onlookers, and after hearing what Song Qi said, they were pretty much convinced that Song Qi was not a spy from the demon race.
And they began to think about who first said that Song Qi was a spy.
Many people felt quite comfortable looking at Elder Fang Yi's fair and bluish complexion; of all the elders, this was the most annoying.
He usually enjoys insulting his disciples and always acts superior. Now he's finally been confronted.
Song Qi left unharmed, once again becoming the center of attention.
Elder Fang Yi originally wanted to cause trouble, but the other elders weren't fools, so they let Song Qi leave first.
When Song Qi came out, Luo Shuyun had just finished negotiating with the Luo family.
Are you alright?
"It's nothing." Song Qi tugged at the corner of his mouth. "It's naive to think you can arrest me without any solid evidence."
"They probably won't let this go."
"It doesn't matter. Fang Hui has already jumped around to this point, and besides becoming an ugly monster, he hasn't gained anything else." Song Qi said casually.
Upon hearing Song Qi's words, Fang Hui, who was following behind her, stumbled. Although the injury on his face had healed, it left a scar that he couldn't get rid of despite using a lot of medicine. Now, this scar was a thorn in his side, and no one dared to say anything to him in front of him.
But now, the clear label of "ugly monster" has dealt him another heavy blow.
Song Qi even started singing, and the strange melody kept reaching his ears.
"Ugly freak, how dare you step out the door and expose your ugly heart and ugly face."
"Ugly monster, can't you take a good look in the mirror?"
"Is it because your face is ugly that your heart is ugly, or is it because your heart is ugly that your face is ugly?"
...
Luo Shuyun couldn't help but laugh as she listened to Song Qi sing.
Fang Hui was about to vomit blood. He desperately wanted to take another route, but there was only one way.
There was no shortage of sharp-eared and sharp-eyed people on the mountain. The others heard Song Qi's song and couldn't help but laugh. The lyrics were simple, and the tune was mostly repeated. Many people could sing it after walking for a while and couldn't help but sing along with Song Qi.
When he reached the fork in the road, Fang Hui's mind was filled with thoughts of "ugly monster." He knew many people were watching him, so he lowered his head and hurried away.
System NZ: Toxic.
Song Qi watched Fang Hui's retreating figure and shook his head: "This kid is so easily teased."
Luo Shuyun gave Song Qi a look.
Since returning from Yu Fengcheng, Song Qi has been the only one living on the main peak. Others have tried to enter, but they simply cannot get in without authorization.
However, Song Qi still felt that this was only on the surface. Every day after she returned home, she would thoroughly check her residence to see if there was anything there. Sure enough, she found some very interesting things.
Regarding her communication with the demons, Song Qi twitched the corner of her mouth, eliminated her lingering aura, and stuffed the item back in.
It would be inhumane to prevent the other party from succeeding after going to such great lengths.
The next morning, Song Qi heard a commotion outside the main peak.
She pretended not to hear, and it wasn't until the afternoon that Song Qi went out. When she saw everyone, she deliberately feigned surprise: "Isn't this Elder Fang Yi? What are you doing here? When did you arrive? Why didn't you call out?"
Elder Fang Yi looked at Song Qi and snorted coldly.
“We received a report that there is evidence of collusion between you and the demons in your courtyard,” said another elder who had come with us. He smiled and didn’t seem to be there to cause trouble at all. He even glanced at Elder Fang Yi after he finished speaking.
That one glance was full of spirit.
They really came to watch the show.
Song Qi laughed: "The person who reported this is quite interesting. How did he know what was in my courtyard? Isn't it forbidden to enter and leave the main peak at will? What, is it possible that someone else can go in besides me?"
"That's what I think too."
"Is someone maliciously reporting this? Is Elder Fang Yi taking this so seriously? Does he care about every report?" Song Qi asked, feigning concern.
Elder Fang Yi watched Song Qi warily, keenly sensing that this was a trap.
"Why don't you let us in and take a look?" Elder Fang Yi said expressionlessly. "After this search, you can be completely cleared of suspicion."
"Heh, alright, I have one request. After the search is complete, I hope the elders can help me find the person who wanted to harm me," Song Qi said.
“Alright.” Before Elder Fang Yi could speak, another elder nodded decisively.
Although Elder Fang Yi was very dissatisfied with his quick agreement, he couldn't embarrass him in person, so he had to swallow his anger.
"In addition, only a portion of the people can go in. Master doesn't like others entering the main peak. If too many people go in at once, they'll probably cause me trouble when they wake up."
"Once you're inside, you must go directly to my courtyard; you can't go anywhere else."
“Yes.” The other elder nodded again, without objection.
Elder Fang Yi glanced at him again, wanting to ask what if Song Qi hid the things elsewhere.
But thinking of that mad dog-like sect leader, he chose to keep quiet.
In the end, ten people were chosen to go in together.
Many disciples may never be able to set foot here in their entire lives. They say they came to search, but for most people, the purpose of coming here is actually tourism.
During the search, Song Qi and two elders sat on stone benches in the courtyard, drinking tea.
Song Qi maintained a faint smile throughout as he checked the identities of the two individuals in the background.
Elder Fang Yi is just an ordinary troublemaker, but he is quite dedicated to the Green Mountain Sect. As for the other elder, he is another lazy elder in the Green Mountain Sect.
Neither of them were demon spies.
Song Qi lowered his voice: "There is indeed something in my yard. I found it yesterday."
The two of them stared wide-eyed at Song Qi.
“There are spies in the Green Mountain Sect,” Song Qi continued.
Elder Fang Yi's eyes widened, and Song Qi gave him a look: "If the item is fake, I also have ways to prove it's fake."
"What do you want to do?" Elder Salty Fish asked.
"Who reported me?" Song Qi asked.
"There is no one, only faith."
"Who knows if you're just spreading rumors?" Elder Fang Yi said.
“Elder Fang Yi, come here, tell me one benefit I gained from betraying the Green Mountain Sect, and the rationale behind those pointless pieces of evidence. This isn’t about personal grudges. Do you know how serious it is that the other party can freely enter and leave the main peak?” Song Qi narrowed his eyes. “I don’t even doubt that you’re a spy for the Demon Clan and someone else deliberately framing me. Can’t you learn from me? Be petty and narrow-minded.”
"You!" Elder Fang Yi took a deep breath.
