Chapter 476: Succubus (47)

It wasn't just Li Sha who came; occasionally Wen Wan's senior brothers and sisters would also come to check on things, and sometimes the acting sect leader would also come to take a look. However, in order not to affect Gu Yuan's trial, they would not appear in public, but would observe secretly. But Wen Wan knew that Gu Yuan was extremely clever, and these people thought they were disguising themselves well, but in fact, Gu Yuan had already seen through them long ago.

However, Gu Yuan did not say it out loud. Even Wen Wan only found out from the system. It has to be said that Gu Yuan, at such a young age, already has the composure of a Celestial Venerable who does not show his emotions on the surface.

On his eighteenth birthday, Gu Yuan disappeared for a day. Wen Wan prepared a birthday cake for him, which she personally commissioned to be made. She gave him the recipe and asked the best chef to make it.

The candles were lit, but the person was never there.

Gu Yuan didn't return until midnight. He seemed surprised that Wen Wan would be waiting in his room without the lights on, so he didn't have time to hide his bloody aura.

Wen Wan lit the candle.

His face was unusually lively.

"Master, what are you doing here?"

Wen Wan: "Today you turn eighteen. I was thinking of celebrating your birthday, and you gave me quite a surprise."

She wasn't stupid. Gu Yuan had gone to take revenge, and he had obviously succeeded. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Gu Yuan who returned, but rather Gu Yuan who had been torn to pieces.

"Master, I'm sorry." Gu Yuan apologized. Wen Wan didn't say anything, but cut the cake. "Eat up, it's not time yet."

Gu Yuan dared not eat. He knew that his master was really angry. In eighteen years, he had never seen his master's face so pale and his eyes were icy cold as he looked at him.

"Master, I was wrong, Yuan'er was wrong. Please forgive me, Master. I promise I will never do anything to upset you again. I promise."

Wen Wan: "Eat."

Gu Yuan: "..."

Gu Yuan ate the cake bite by bite. Actually, he didn't like sweet things, but his master did. His master not only liked sweet pastries, but also all kinds of snacks and delicacies. He didn't seem like a cultivator at all.

If it weren't for the fact that his master's face had never changed in the past eighteen years, he would have known for certain that his master was no ordinary person.

Only by diligently cultivating himself can he keep his master by his side.

He only has his master left; he has no one else.

Gu Yuan suddenly hugged his master's waist, "Master, Yuan'er was wrong, really wrong, Master, please don't abandon Yuan'er."

Wen Yan: "!!!"

Looking at that face that was almost identical to that of the Immortal Venerable, Wen Wan felt a mix of emotions. Gu Yuan, if you regain your memories, you'll realize how much I've taken advantage of you. I can't accept that!

He sighed and patted Gu Yuan's head. "I'm not angry, but you can't be so reckless in the future. You were lucky to survive this time, but what about next time? What will I do if you die?"

If the male protagonist dies, her mission will fail, and she will have to die with him.

"Yuan'er understands. From now on, I will definitely tell Master everything and will never act on my own."

"Good to know. Go change your clothes, wash up, and get some rest. It's getting late."

Wen Wan left the room.

...

[Host, are you alright?] The system asked, noticing the host's strange demeanor after returning to his room.

"System, I'm really scared."

System: [Host, don't worry, he's the male lead. He has the male lead's halo; he'll be fine.]

Wen Wan: "I know, but I'm just worried. I raised him like my own son, and now I finally understand what it means to be a parent. When you have a weakness, you're afraid of everything."

system:【? ? ​​? 】

Something strange has been mixed in.

[Host, he is Gu Yuan, not your son.]

"I know, how could I not know? But I raised him for eighteen years, what's wrong with treating him like my son once?"

system:【……】

After that, life returned to normal. Only Wen Wan knew that the demon clan that had committed the massacre of the Gu family had been wiped out overnight.

Wen Wan didn't want to think about it too much, nor did she think Gu Yuan was wrong. After all, the hatred between parents is irreconcilable, and it is only natural for children to avenge their parents.

Moreover, after taking revenge, Wen Wan felt that Gu Yuan had returned to his sunny and cheerful youthful self.

At this moment, the acting sect leader sent a message.

"On the seventh day, your mission is complete. You can come back now. The Immortal Venerable will walk the rest of the way on his own."

Wen Wan was shocked upon hearing this news. "Sect Leader, he's only eighteen years old and still so weak. The Demon Clan is eyeing him covetously. How can I leave at this time?"

Acting Sect Leader: "Chu Qi, you must trust your master. Besides, you have already protected him during his most vulnerable eighteen years. His strength is already quite good. He must walk his own path of training from now on. If you keep protecting him, what is the point of training?"

Wen Yan: "..."

The acting sect leader makes a good point.

"I understand, Acting Sect Leader. I will return as soon as possible."

When Wen Wan learned that she could no longer stay by Gu Yuan's side, she felt empty inside and even a little unhappy.

Looking at the young man practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, his every move was far superior to hers.

Gu Yuan's talent, however, was that of a born swordsman.

Compared to her, a blockhead with no talent for sword cultivation, there was no comparison. Even Li Sha might not be able to beat Gu Yuan at eighteen years old now. He has the ability to stand on his own, but Wen Wan just doesn't believe it.

After Gu Yuan finished practicing, he ran over and asked, "Master, how did Yuan'er practice?"

"Very good, excellent, exceptionally excellent."

"Will Yuan'er get a reward?" Gu Yuan grabbed Wen Wan's sleeve, his tone slightly affectionate and coquettish. Since his last birthday, Gu Yuan seemed to have returned to his normal eighteen-year-old self, acting coquettishly more frequently, as if all the shadows had never appeared.

"have."

Wen Wan took out a sword box from her storage bag and handed it to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan opened the box, inside was the Immortal Venerable's sword, which the acting sect leader had sent to him some time ago, asking him to find a suitable opportunity to give it to Gu Yuan.

Now the opportunity has arrived.

Gu Yuan loved the sword and couldn't put it down. "Master, is this a sword for Yuan'er? It's so beautiful. Does it have a name?"

Wen Wan: "No, Yuan'er, let's name it. It will stay with Yuan'er forever."

Gu Yuan thought for a moment, "How about we call her Xiao Qi?"

Wen Yan: "..."

Wen Wan flicked Gu Yuan on the forehead, "You have no manners."

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Xiao Qi sounds nice. It's my sword, so I'll call it Xiao Qi."

Finally, Gu Yuan picked up the sword and started playing with it, while Wen Wan fell into deep thought.

System: [Host, are you alright?]

"It's nothing, it's just that sons grow up and become independent. After raising him for so long, I still feel quite reluctant to part with him."

System: [However, Gu Yuan will return to his original form, so the host need not worry.]

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up. You really don't know how to speak."

system:【……】

...

Wen Wan left, using an invisibility talisman. She watched as Gu Yuan happily searched for her, but couldn't find her. She turned the house upside down and searched everywhere, but still couldn't find her.

Wen Wan felt a pang of sadness at the sight of her crying.

Wen Wan left a letter.

Gu Yuan received the message, which stated...

——

Yuan'er, our master-disciple relationship has come to an end. I hope you will cherish the future, stay true to yourself, and be safe and sound.

Do not think of it, and do not search for it.

——

"Master, where are you? Don't you want Yuan'er anymore? Master..."

Wen Wan was in so much pain. "Let's go. This scene breaks my heart."

Wen Wan turned and left, but Gu Yuan ran over from where she had just stood, his eyes filled with sorrow. He knelt on the ground, as if trying to catch the lingering scent of his master. "Master, why did you leave? Why don't you want Yuan'er anymore? Did Yuan'er do something wrong? Yuan'er will listen to you from now on and will never make you angry, Master..."

Wen Wan returned to Mingyuan Sect, where the acting sect leader gave her some advice, and on the surface, Wen Wan seemed fine.

But when he returned to the temple, he was completely listless.

She quickly began to worry about Gu Yuan. He was no longer the number one immortal in the world; he was just an ordinary person. What if he encountered a demon he couldn't defeat? What if he was deceived?

Wen Wan wanted to go and see several times, but the acting sect leader stopped her each time.

"On the seventh day, I understand that you are worried about your master's safety, but if you keep hindering his training, you are harming him. Don't worry, if your master is really in danger of losing his life, I will go to save him immediately."

Wen Wan: "Disciple understands."

After that, Wen Wan forced herself not to think about it or look at it, and began to find all sorts of things to keep herself occupied.

No one expected that something would happen soon afterward that would suddenly leave Wen Wan with no time to think about anything else.

Lisa went out to gain experience, but disappeared.

Missing?

Wen Wan was shocked and went to ask the acting sect leader. The acting sect leader was also very worried, "All the disciples have disappeared and their life tablets are broken, but Li Sha's life tablet is fine."

Lisa's life tablet is still intact, proving that she is not in any immediate danger. But why is it that everyone else is dead except for Lisa, who is missing?

"Sect Leader, Li Sha would never do anything bad."

Acting Sect Leader: "I also believe that the disciples of my Mingyuan Sect would not do anything to harm their fellow disciples. The most important thing now is to find the person first before thinking about anything else. I have already sent elders to search for him."

"This disciple also wants to go."

The acting sect leader agreed, and then Wen Wan, along with the elders and disciples sent there, began searching for Li Sha.

Finally, the bodies of all the disciples were found, and they were covered in demonic energy, clearly indicating that they were demons.

Lisa was still nowhere to be found.

After searching for more than half a month, the elders and disciples all returned to report, but Wen Wan did not return to Mingyuan Sect.

She had a bad feeling. "System, was she captured by the Blissful Sect? Was she taken away by her father?"

Only this explanation can account for the current situation: why all the other disciples are dead, while Li Sha is merely missing.

Although Li Sha is powerful, she shouldn't disappear without a trace.

System: [Host, you're not going to the Blissful Sect, are you? That's too dangerous. You finally managed to leave the Blissful Sect; if you go back now and your identity is exposed, you're finished.]

Wen Yan: "..."

Of course she knew.

"But the female lead has become possessed by a demon, so does that mean our mission has failed? Gu Yuan will definitely kill Li Sha."

system:【……】

"I'll first sneak into the Bliss Sect to take a look, concealing my tracks."

So Wen Wan changed her face to an ordinary one again, and then disguised herself as a demon, using the alias Xiao Hua, before entering the Blissful Sect as a servant. Afterwards, Wen Wan inquired about Li Sha's whereabouts many times, but Li Sha had been brought back to the Blissful Sect and was now being imprisoned in the dungeon.
