Chapter 235 Black-Hearted Lotus Junior Brother 3

Xu Qiuqiu muttered under her breath, "Running so fast..."

Remembering that there was also 003, she immediately asked, "003, what is Ah-Chu's name and identity in this world?"

"The second male lead is named Mo Chen. He belongs to the same sect as the host and joined the sect a month ago, so he is considered the host's junior brother!" 003 replied after flipping through the data.

"So what's his personality like?"

003 scratched his ear. "It's not written down. His background is also left unsaid. Maybe, like in previous worlds, it'll be unlocked by progressing through the story..."

Xu Qiuqiu couldn't help but complain, "Why are you getting more and more perfunctory? At least you used to have some personality..."

"Waaah, don't blame me, there's no data..." 003 felt wronged. Blame the main god, it only has the main storyline data of the male and female leads, and not the second male lead, how would it know?

Xu Qiuqiu sighed. Well, 003 is a working person too, and so is she. Let's not make things difficult for each other.

She thought about the current plot carefully. She had just opened her eyes when Meng Yutong was lying on the ground pretending to be injured by her. So, would the next part of the plot involve the male lead digging out her golden core?

Xu Qiuqiu felt a chill run through her body. It was terrifying. How could she save herself?

In the story, the male lead is at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and his cultivation is above hers. Meanwhile, the original female lead's master is in seclusion, so she cannot seek his protection, nor will anyone stand up for her.

The male lead may already be staking out her residence.

This year's male lead is truly lawless. He digs out the golden core without any investigation and convicts the person directly.

She looked up at the moonlight, and for a moment she didn't know where to go.

How about we just spend the night in the sect's library?

Thinking this, she moved swiftly and arrived at the library, where two disciples guarded the building.

Upon seeing Xu Qiuqiu's inner disciple robes, they obediently called her "Senior Sister."

Xu Qiuqiu gave a haughty "hmm" and went inside.

The library is very tall, seemingly endless, and every shelf is filled with books.

Xu Qiuqiu went up to the third floor, picked up a few books, sat down at the desk, put the books on the table, used them as a pillow, and closed her eyes to rest.

In the spacious room, Ruan Zhili carried Meng Yutong to the bed, found a bottle of pills and fed them to her, then asked worriedly, "How are you? Is Junior Sister feeling any better?"

"I feel much better, thank you, senior brother..." Meng Yutong coughed twice and gave Ruan Zhili a pale smile.

Thinking about how Han Ruoqiu had escaped, Ruan Zhili was filled with rage. "How could Han Ruoqiu treat you like this! It was bad enough that she bullied you before, but now she's even crippled your cultivation. I'm going to report this to the sect leader. How can a woman like this be worthy of staying in our sect?"

Upon hearing the report to the sect leader, Meng Yutong panicked. Her cultivation hadn't actually been crippled; a sect leader with high cultivation would easily know. She grabbed Ruan Zhili and shook her head, "Senior brother, don't tell the sect leader. I don't blame senior sister..."

"Junior sister, don't always think so much about her. You treat her like an older sister, but does she treat you like a younger sister? For so many years, she has either bullied you or injured you. Now she has even forcibly crippled your cultivation. She is too vicious!"

The more Ruan Zhili talked about it, the more she felt sorry for Meng Yutong. Even at this point, she was still thinking about Han Ruoqiu.

Meng Yutong's eyes were filled with sorrow. "Senior brother, although senior sister doesn't treat me like a younger sister, I don't want her to be condemned by everyone. Senior brother, let's resolve this privately... just have senior sister apologize to me..."

After saying that, he coughed heavily twice, looking frail and weak.

"Junior sister, you're just too kind." Ruan Zhili sighed helplessly. "Junior sister, don't worry, I will definitely make that vicious woman apologize to you!"

An apology alone is too lenient a punishment.

He simply couldn't stand it anymore. Yu Tong had been bullied by Han Ruoqiu for so many years, and a single apology could resolve it?

Her cultivation was destroyed in an instant; she had to pay a price!

Since Yu Tong told him to resolve this privately, he would dig out Han Ruoqiu's golden core as compensation to Yu Tong!

Thinking this, he comforted Meng Yutong for a while and then went directly to Han Ruoqiu's room.

The room was empty. Ruan Zhili was filled with anger. Han Ruoqiu must be feeling guilty, because she didn't even dare to go back to the room.

But as long as she remains in the sect, he will always have a chance to make a move.

The next morning, Xu Qiuqiu woke up in the library.

Thinking that she was supposed to attend a class at the academy today, even though she and Ruan Zhili were in the same academy, he couldn't possibly do anything to her in front of everyone, could he?

Thinking this way, she felt much more at ease. She cast a cleansing spell, tidied herself up, and walked out of the library.

Upon arriving at the academy, she saw Ruan Zhili glaring fiercely at her.

As she walked to her seat, 003 said, "Host, don't sit down!"

"What's wrong?"

"The male protagonist placed a tracking talisman at your location. Once it touches it, he will be able to know your whereabouts from then on."

Xu Qiuqiu glanced down at the cushion on the ground, used magic to lift it up, and sure enough, she saw a talisman.

Ruan Zhili had not given up on his idea of ​​extracting her golden core. Since it was not convenient to do so in the sect, he now directly placed a tracking talisman on her and planned to find a secluded place to make his move.

Is she unable to go back to sleep every night even though she has a room?

She had no choice but to destroy the tracking talisman and sit down as if she hadn't noticed anything.

The instructor was the fourth elder of the Xuantian Sect. He slowly began, "Today we've come to learn how to refine the Rejuvenation Pill."

With a wave of his hand, the Fourth Elder placed an alchemy furnace and herbs on each disciple's table.

Xu Qiuqiu placed the herbs according to the steps instructed by the Fourth Elder, and then slowly burned them with fire magic.

After waiting quietly for half an hour, she smelled the fragrance of the elixir; she had succeeded.

The Fourth Elder walked to Xu Qiuqiu's side, glanced at her finished product, and praised, "Not bad, a second-grade pill."

One by one, the disciples gradually began to master the technique, while others failed.

Ruan Zhili's alchemy furnace smelled burnt. He failed for the first time because his mind was not at peace. He saw the disappointment in the Fourth Elder's eyes and hated Han Ruoqiu even more. If it weren't for her, how could he have failed?

He couldn't sense any trace of the tracking talisman, and he was furious that she had actually discovered it.

After class, the inner disciples of the same grade came over to tease him, "Zhi Li, did you not get enough rest yesterday? How could you make such a mistake today?"

Ruan Zhili was annoyed, but she put on a gentle smile. "It's because I was worried about my junior sister's injury, that's why..."

"Oh, I see. Senior brother is indeed known for doting on junior sister."

"Speaking of which, Han Ruoqiu didn't bully Junior Sister Meng, did she? How did she get injured again?"

A disciple whispered, trying to stop him, "Don't talk about her in front of Han Ruoqiu..."

When they turned around, they found that the topic of their discussion was no longer in the academy.

Xu Qiuqiu ran away when Ruan Zhili was surrounded by a group of people.

She didn't want to be targeted by Ruan Zhili; every second she spent under Ruan Zhili's gaze was dangerous.
