Chapter 685: Butterfly Slave (52)

She only went into seclusion for a month, how could she suddenly change so much? The male lead and female lead clearly didn't know each other and had never even met, but in just one month, they got together and even took on a disciple. Is this part of the plot?

"System, what's going on?"

The system, which had just returned from a month-long trip after its host went into seclusion, was also bewildered. [I don't know either, but it must be some kind of trick the female lead used.]

"Wen Wan, you have great talent. You will receive great support from my Tianli Sect in the future. I hope you will cultivate diligently and never come to Tianji Peak again, nor see Gu Liuyun again."

Wen Wan: "Why?"

The sect leader looked at Wen Wan and said, "Gu Liuyun cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness."

Wen Yan: "..."

so what?

Who cares what cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness means?

Could it be... that the sect leader suspects she seduced the male lead, causing him to develop worldly desires, just like Die'er back then, who was abandoned without hesitation simply because she loved the male lead?

Wen Wan was dumbfounded.

"This is outrageous! We have a pure socialist brother-sister relationship, okay?"

The system dared not speak.

"Forget it, since Gu Liuyun doesn't want to see me, I won't cling to him. Anyway, he's doing well in Tianli Sect and nothing will happen to him. I might as well go find another male lead. As long as I prevent them from killing each other, wouldn't the mission be considered complete? If this doesn't work, I can always go to the other side."

The system quickly said, "Host, don't be impulsive. There must be a reason for this. And if you want to find him, do you even know where he is? Can you find someone with just a jade pendant? You can only find the other person by staying by Gu Liuyun's side."

Wen Wan: "But you saw it too, it's not that I don't want to stay by Gu Liuyun's side, it's that he doesn't want me anymore."

system:【……】

Wen Wan returned to Lin Yuan Peak in a bad mood. Her master was furious and scolded her as soon as she got back.

"Where have you been gallivanting off to? You disappeared as soon as your seclusion ended, and you haven't been attending classes. The elders have all complained to me about it, and I've been making you come to my place to cultivate every day. Have you come?"

Wen Wan looked at her master.

"Master, you can scold me if you want, or even beat me up if you really can't. I'm in a bad mood right now."

Gao Linyuan: "..."

Looking at his little apprentice, who was known for being a bit dim-witted and always optimistic, why did he suddenly start taking a melancholic turn?

"What happened?"

Wen Wan: "I was unilaterally cut off from my friendship."

"Liu Yun? I have heard about him taking on disciples, but he will become an elder sooner or later, and may even be the next sect leader, so it is normal for him to take on disciples. Although you two have a good relationship, if you are angry about this, then you are being too petty."

Wen Yan: "???"

"I'm petty? Master, what are you saying? I didn't say I couldn't let him take on disciples, but he wouldn't see me, and didn't even explain himself. He blocked me at the entrance of Tianji Peak. I couldn't even see him. Isn't that something to be angry about?"

Gao Linyuan: "Why?"

Wen Wan: "How would I know why? I guess he's disgusted with me. I treated him like a good senior brother and a good friend, and I treated him with all my heart and soul. He just ignores me like that. Master, if you want to hit me, then hit me. Anyway, I'm not in the mood to cultivate right now."

Gao Linyuan: "..."

"Fine, I'll give you three days to clear up the misunderstanding with Liu Yun."

Wen Wan: "There's no misunderstanding."

Then he turned and ran away.

For the next three days, Wen Wan spent every day in the canteen researching new dishes. Because of her anger, Wen Wan was exceptionally diligent, which benefited the disciples of Tianli Sect and Elder Qian.

On the third day, Wen Wan was still hesitating about whether or not to go find the male lead.

She really didn't want to believe that Gu Liuyun had really abandoned her like this. After all, they had shared hardships and formed a revolutionary bond.

Wen Wan lingered in front of the Tianji Peak gate for several hours, and the disciples guarding the gate all advised her to give up.

At this moment, the female protagonist Xian'er arrived and entered Tianji Peak without any hindrance in front of Wen Wan.

Wen Wan: Heartbroken, it's just plain heartbroken.

Wen Wan shouted towards the mountain gate, "Gu Liuyun, if you're so capable, then hide. Who do you think cares about you? I don't care about you. Even if you beg me in the future, I won't treat you as my senior brother. You'll regret it."

Then, taking the love bracelet, he handed it to the gatekeeper disciple, saying, "If Gu Liuyun comes out, give this to him."

Then he left in anger.

I immediately packed my things and prepared to go down the mountain.

In order to get down the mountain, she even went to the mission hall to take on a mission. Anyway, she'll just slip away when the time comes. The world is so big, isn't there somewhere she can find a place to stay?

All of this took place in anger, and Wen Wan went down the mountain.

She went straight to Xinlai, who quickly ran over and said, "Sister, do you have a mission? I want to go with you."

Wen Wan: "No mission. I asked you to find news about my brother. Did you find it?"

Xin Lai: "I do have some information, but it's hard to tell if it's true or false."

"What news?"

"Since the death of the Demon Lord, there have been seven Demon Lords who have ruled over the entire Demon territory. But recently, an eighth one has appeared. It is said that no one knows what he looks like. He always wears a mask, but his strength is exceptionally powerful. He has even defeated two Demon Lords."

"Then how can we prove he's the older brother?"

"There's no way to prove it, but this new Demon Lord appeared suddenly, and the time of his appearance coincides with the time when the master left the Abyss of Evil. So, based on my intuition, I think he is the master."

"Alright, do you know where this new Demon Lord's territory is?"

"Wind and Fire Demon Realm".

"Then let's investigate the true identity of this new Demon Lord."

"Then, sister, aren't you going back to Tianli Sect?"

Wen Wan: "I won't go back."

After Wen Wan and Xin Lai finished dealing with things here, the two left the town at the foot of Tianli Sect Mountain and headed directly towards the Wind and Fire Demon Realm.

The two traveled at a leisurely pace, passing through countless small teleportation arrays and visiting numerous places before finally arriving at the city closest to the Wind and Fire Demon Realm after more than a month.

Thunder City.

This place belongs to neither the demon race, nor the human race, nor the monster race; it's a no-man's-land where humans, monsters, and demons coexist, making it quite chaotic.

Wen Wan restored her original appearance, then came here, and faked her aura to resemble that of a demon, and not a weak one at that.

The division of power among the demon race.

All those that have not yet taken human form are called demon beasts, but many demon beasts are not qualified to take human form.

After taking human form, they are roughly divided into low-level demon spirits, which are some weak little demons, then great demons, which are roughly equivalent to the Spirit King and Heavenly King stages of the human race, then heavenly demons, which are equivalent to the Martial God stage, demon kings, which are equivalent to the Saint Lord stage, and finally demon lords. The one who refined the butterfly slave, the Ten Thousand Demon King, is one of the major demon kings and can be considered a top powerhouse of the demon race.
