Chapter 664: Butterfly Slave (31)
However, the sect leader didn't come to teach Wen Wan every day. Most of the time, Wen Wan practiced swordsmanship with Gu Liuyun, and the sect leader seemed to accept it quite well. Perhaps it was because Wen Wan behaved well, after all, she was so obedient and posed absolutely no threat.
While cultivating alongside the male lead, Wen Wan wondered why, after so much time had passed, the other male lead who had run away hadn't reappeared, or even been mentioned in the slightest.
Wen Wan looked at Gu Liuyun, who was practicing swordsmanship, and was genuinely curious. Could it be that she had guessed wrong and that the two of them would not meet so soon?
"Senior brother, I need to go down the mountain. Do you want to come with me?" Wen Wan asked Gu Liuyun.
Gu Liuyun sheathed his sword and walked over. "I cannot leave Tianji Peak without Master's permission."
"Why is the sect leader like this? Aren't you afraid of suffocating your personal disciple? Even a dog needs to be let out for a walk from time to time."
Gu Liuyun: "—"
Looking at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan realized she had misspoke. "I didn't mean to say that Senior Brother is a dog. Have you never left the Tianli Sect since you were a child?"
Gu Liuyun: "I've been there, with my master."
Wen Wan looked at Gu Liuyun with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. This was practically a form of soft imprisonment. The male protagonists were all so miserable.
"Do you want to go? We can go secretly, without your master knowing, right?"
Gu Liuyun was somewhat tempted, but shook his head, "It's impossible to hide it from Master's eyes."
Wen Yan: "..."
"System, do you have any ideas?"
System: [What can I do?]
“You have it, you are such a great system, how could you not even be able to do such a small thing?”
System: This is a case of praising to death. The host is definitely praising it to death.
There is a way.
"What method?"
System: [He has something belonging to the sect leader inside him, so he can't leave, but you can let him see everything you see.]
"Explain it clearly, don't use bureaucratic jargon."
system:【……】
Finally, the system mentioned, "There's a technique called 'Shared Hearts,' whose greatest function is sharing. Everything you see down the mountain, he can see and sense too. You can even briefly exchange souls. However, there's a downside: you'll have no secrets between you, except for things related to me that I can block. He can sense whatever you're thinking, and you can sense his thoughts in return."
Wen Yan: "..."
Doesn't that mean there's absolutely no privacy left?
"Wouldn't that expose my relationship with the Demon Lord's son? That's too risky."
[It won't be that powerful. He can only sense your emotions and feelings, not your specific actions or memories. However, just in case, I can temporarily seal away your memories of that time with the Demon Lord's son. I'll unlock them once we meet.]
Wen Wan: "Will my identity as a butterfly slave be exposed?"
【Won't. 】
"Then let's leave it at that, and not block out the memories."
The system seemed somewhat surprised by this. [Why not block him? Aren't you worried he might know something?]
Wen Wan: "He and the other person are originally one, so knowing about the other person's existence in advance is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe the two of them can even get along harmoniously, and then we might have already completed more than half of our mission."
System: That's not entirely unreasonable.
[That's possible, but can you convince the male lead to be of one mind with you? His mental defenses are exceptionally high.]
Wen Wan looked at Gu Liuyun, who asked, "Say what you want to say."
"I have a way to get you to come with me, and I guarantee the sect leader won't find out."
"What method?"
Wen Wan told Gu Liuyun what the system had said, "Don't worry, I will never pry into your secrets, and you can't pry into mine either. Let's make a three-point agreement."
"I've never heard of this kind of magic before."
"It's not necessarily going to work. If we both reject it, the failure rate is over 70%."
This is what the system said. Wen Wan couldn't be sure if it would really work. She just felt that Gu Liuyun was too pitiful, being imprisoned in Tianli Sect. Maybe he would even fight with her in the future. They were born of the same root, why should they fight each other so fiercely?
Gu Liuyun finally agreed, which surprised Wen Wan. It seemed that Gu Liuyun was not as self-disciplined and restrained as he appeared, and also wanted to go out and have fun.
Wen Wan then received the cultivation method from the system and began to try it out with Gu Liuyun.
"First, take one drop of blood from each person."
Wen Wan steeled herself and pricked herself to draw a drop of blood. Then she pricked Gu Liuyun and drew a drop of blood as well.
In the end, it was made into two concentric rings.
He handed one to Gu Liuyun and put the other on himself. "It seems like it worked. It seems we are indeed the chosen ones. But let's make a deal: you can't try to find out what I'm thinking, and I promise not to pry into your secrets. When I go out to play, you can go out to play too."
Gu Liuyun: "I understand."
After this matter was resolved, Wen Wan prepared to go down the mountain. This time, she was not only going down the mountain for fun, but also for training. She was with her senior brothers Chu Yao, Lin Sheng, Lu Ping, and Chen Han, and they were on a mission. This was also a test of the seniors mentoring the newcomers.
After they finished packing, they went down the mountain.
Countless smaller teams, including direct disciples from various peaks and teams composed of core disciples, also took on missions. The Tianli Sect was very supportive of this, as continuous cultivation was not necessarily a good thing; it was still necessary to put it into practice.
However, to ensure the safety of the disciples, several elders also accompanied them on this trip. Of course, they were not elders from the various peaks, but other elders, though they were quite powerful.
The elders would not interfere too much with their disciples' training. However, in critical moments, if a disciple crushed the jade token in their hand, the elders would teleport them to the place where the disciple was in danger as quickly as possible to provide assistance.
I have to say, it's really convenient.
Before leaving, Master Gao Linyuan gave them a pep talk, saying, "Especially you, Wen Wan, you must stay close to your senior brothers and sisters and not act on your own. Otherwise, you'll see how I punish you when I get back."
Wen Wan: "Master, you are slandering me! I am so obedient! You are just prejudiced against me."
Gao Linyuan: "Stop being so glib. Be careful and improve your strength as much as possible so that the other peaks can see how excellent the disciples of Linyuan Peak are."
Wen Yan: "..."
She started rolling again; she just wanted to play, not roll.
The five of them quickly descended the mountain, dressed in the clothes of the Tianli Sect. Wen Wan couldn't understand it at all, "Why are they still wearing these sect robes? It's too ostentatious."
Lu Ping: "This will reduce a lot of trouble for us. Even if disciples from other major sects see disciples from our Tianli Sect, they will have to give way to us. It will also bring honor to our Tianli Sect."
"If we lose face, won't the whole world know that we've disgraced the Tianli Sect?"
Lu Ping: "..."
Speechless for a moment, she never thought she would bring shame to the Tianli Sect. The others looked helplessly at their junior sister, "Then do your best not to bring shame to the Tianli Sect, otherwise Master will kill us."
Wen Wan: "How can we control this? Forget it, if we have to lose face, I'll just say my name is Chen Zihan, and I definitely won't embarrass Lin Yuanfeng."
Others: "..."
My junior sister is really clever and quirky; only she could come up with such an idea.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Wen Wan immediately slipped out to contact Xin Lai. Xin Lai had been missing Wen Wan terribly for the past few days.
"Sister, you haven't come to see me for so long, I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Wen Wan pinched Xin Lai's cheek. "Your restaurant is doing so well, you seem to be living a very comfortable life."
"I owe this all to the magical artifact you gave me to conceal my demonic aura, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fully integrate into this place. Where are you going this time? Can I come with you?"
"Fine, then you don't want this restaurant anymore?"
Xin Lai: "My restaurant has many chefs; nothing will go wrong if I'm not here for a few months."
"Alright."
To everyone's surprise, Wen Wan slipped out for a short while and returned with a child.
Lu Ping: "Who is Junior Sister?"
“My younger brother once saved my life. If it weren’t for him, I would have died in the deep mountains long ago.”
Wen Wan started making up a story, saying that when she came to Tianli Sect, she passed through a mountain forest and was attacked by a snake demon. She was almost swallowed by the snake demon, but Xin Lailai saved her at the critical moment.
“Xinlai is not a burden. Xinlai is a spirit beast and can help us in critical moments.”
Lu Ping: "A spirit beast?"
This is something we have to take seriously. After all, if this spirit beast were to transform into human form, it would be at least equivalent to a cultivator at the Spirit King stage. Its strength is quite formidable. Even the most powerful Senior Brother Chen Han is only at the early Spirit King stage.
This is already considered very outstanding among the disciples of the Tianli Sect.
"In that case, let him come with us."
Xinlai was very happy, finally able to go out and play with her sister, it was a feeling she hadn't had in a long time.
Lu Ping: "Our mission this time is to solve the problem in Chiang Rai Town. It seems to have been invaded by demons. Moreover, according to the investigation by the Mission Hall, the most powerful ones are late-stage Demon Generals, and there are three of them in total."
Demons are categorized according to their magical cultivation.
The lowest rank is the Demon Soldier. All demons born are low-rank Demon Soldiers. As their magic power increases, they become medium-rank and high-rank Demon Soldiers.
Then came the Demon General, then the Demon King, then the Demon Lord, and finally the Demon Sovereign.
The Demon General is equivalent to the Spirit King stage of a cultivator, so they can complete this task. There will be challenges, but not too much danger.
After that, the group began their journey. There were regulations in the human world and the cultivation world that cultivators could not fly on swords in the world of ordinary people. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a traffic hindrance if cultivators flew around in the sky and on the ground?
However, it was possible to teleport via a spirit array, but this required both parties to have spirit arrays set up for teleportation to work. So the group went through several spirit arrays before finally arriving at the medicine city, which was the closest to Chiang Rai town.
Along the way, everything Wen Wan saw could also be seen by Gu Liuyun, who was wearing the same heart bracelet with her. Her eyes were just like Gu Liuyun's eyes. If possible, she could even switch bodies with Gu Liuyun and let Gu Liuyun experience it for her. However, they were still on their way, so there was no need for that.
