Chapter 54: A brand new moon hangs high in the sky, and I will kill whoever it shines on.
Luo Huaiyin listened to him carefully, but couldn't help frowning.
"You mean I should just watch those bitches succeed? How could I possibly do that?"
"That's not the case."
The man who came walking on the moon was very leisurely and his tone was neither hurried nor slow. Seeing that he frowned, he took out a small table and a pot of tea.
He was covered in a cool, frosty aura, and looked like an immortal under the moon, pure and untainted by the world. However, his movements were casual. He sat on the ground and made a 'please' gesture to Luo Huaiyin.
Luo Huaiyin was not an impulsive boy after all. He patiently sat down opposite him and listened to him continue.
The man poured him a cup of tea and motioned him to take a sip to calm down before continuing.
"Being magnanimous is a man's strength, but being endlessly magnanimous will only make people think you are a loser."
"Be appropriately generous and don't spoil someone's spirits when they're in high spirits. Be appropriately jealous and show that you care about them."
"According to what you said, Fairy Zhaoyue currently has someone she likes, but she's not in love with him yet. If that's the case, you still have a chance."
After a few brief words, the man asked, "However, Fellow Daoist Luo, I still need you to tell me the details of what to do. Even if I have a thousand skills, I can't help you make the right decision without knowing anything."
Luo Huaiyin also understood this.
He didn't want to say it before because he didn't want to mention those people at all. Firstly, it would dirty his mouth, and secondly, the unwillingness from the bottom of his heart made him not want to admit that Jiang Zhaoyue really liked those things that were not presentable.
But now that we have come this far, changing everything is the most important thing.
So he was silent for a moment, drank a sip of tea, and then started from the beginning in a low voice.
"Actually, I really hated Jiang Zhaoyue at first."
"As soon as she entered the Yunmiao Immortal Sect, she was noticed by the Sect Master. Even at a low level of cultivation, she became the Sect Master's personal disciple and was doted on by countless people. Meanwhile, I went through countless hardships, experienced life and death, and was about to take the position of Young Sect Master, but someone intervened."
"Why? A delicate flower raised in a greenhouse, just because the headmaster took a fancy to her, is going to snatch away the thing I care about most. She didn't have to do anything, as if she was born with countless people loving her. This is not fair at all."
Maybe it was because she had no connection with the man in front of her, or because he looked very "professional", but Luo Huaiyin finally said what had been buried in her heart.
His unwilling anger, ferocity and hatred had been entangled in his heart for a long time. Beneath his gentle mask and behind those hypocritical flattery, he was always filled with violent hatred.
At that time, he was pursuing Jiang Zhaoyue on the surface, but in fact he had thought about killing her more than once.
Having said this, the anger, hatred and unwillingness in Luo Huaiyin's words suddenly faded away, replaced by a bitter smile.
He looked at the man in front of him, not sure whether to speak to him or to himself.
"The turning point was an expedition to a secret place. Due to an accident, she and I were trapped in the same place. It was there that I saw a completely different Jiang Zhaoyue, completely different from my impression of her."
"She is more cruel, more desperate, more dishonorable, and less refined than I am."
"Flowers in a greenhouse can't grow bloody thorns. From then on, I realized that there's no such thing as fairness or unfairness. I'm not afraid of pain because I've experienced worse pain before. She and I, like each other, emerged from thorns, blood, and fire, yet I ridiculously thought she was a flower grown in a greenhouse."
"Although the Sect Master accepted her as a disciple, he is too high up in the sect to take care of everyone. When she suddenly appeared, there were many people in the sect who were dissatisfied with her. She caused countless troubles, no less than I did."
"But she dealt with them one by one, convincing everyone. Everyone knows the name of Fairy Zhaoyue. She became my competitor not because she is the master's disciple, but because she is excellent in her own right."
When Luo Huaiyin said this, a smile appeared on his face, as if he was proud of it, and even had a bit of unconscious boasting: "Many people admire Zhaoyue Fairy Princess, this is as it should be."
But the next moment, his face darkened and his voice became cold.
"The bright moon should be hanging high in the sky, but there are always some despicable and endless things that want to pluck it. She is the daughter of the proud daughter of my Yunmiao Immortal Sect, not someone's lover, companion, or admirer!"
"Forget about Chu Jinhe, that unpresentable fellow. Just treat him like a dog. But who is Jiang Qiying? He even said my junior sister admires him. Does he deserve it? And his master is a den of snakes and rats, a beast in human form, shameless and filthy. They are truly master and disciple, equally despicable and shameless."
Luo Huaiyin's chest rose and fell a little more. When he talked about these two people, he was very angry. He cursed for a long time with different dirty words. Only then did he regain his composure and sneered:
"Oh, by the way, there's also that Jiyue Xianzong Sect Master. He's a thing that no one wants even if it's delivered to his door. He's not even as good as me, yet he still has the nerve to seduce my junior sister? He's really like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, not even considering whether he's worthy or not. He's an old bastard with half his body buried in the ground."
The man sitting opposite him and listening was obviously very well-mannered. Even when Luo Huaiyin's words were obviously subjective, including the part where he cursed Jiang Qiying and Fu Lanting, he listened calmly.
He didn't smile until Luo Huaiyin finished telling the whole situation, and his tone sounded very comfortable in the quiet night.
"I understand. So Fairy Zhaoyue likes Master Qi Ling the most now, followed by Fellow Daoist Jiang?"
Luo Huaiyin glanced at him with some dissatisfaction and emphasized: "It's not love. My junior sister was just seduced by them for a short time."
He was silent for a few breaths before adding, "Actually, I think that bastard Jiang Qiying is the more threatening. When my junior sister was young and naive... she did express a slight affection for him. You should have heard about it."
"Yes, I've heard that." The man, still smiling, changed his words: "So the biggest threat to you right now is Fellow Daoist Jiang, followed by Sect Leader Qi Ling, or maybe they're about the same."
"About that."
Luo Huaiyin didn't want to elaborate on this. "Anyway, both the master and the disciple are quite shameless. I haven't seen Jiang Qiying in person, but I heard that his methods are also very despicable. As for that Qi Ling Sect Master..."
He sneered, "I've never seen such a hot-headed man. I'm afraid there aren't many of you in the Hehuan Sect. With that chain on his body, it's obvious he's afraid others won't know he's trying to seduce my junior sister. If I were to say, he shouldn't just not wear it. Wouldn't that be more direct?"
"But your junior sister likes it."
The man hit the nail on the head.
The sneer on Luo Huaiyin's face froze for a moment, and a bit of reluctance emerged. But after all, he came to solve the problem, not to simply complain, so he could only say a little aggrievedly: "Junior sister was just seduced, it's not her fault."
The man nodded, still not contradicting him, speaking clearly, "As I've said before, desire for food, sex, and pleasure is human nature, and it's common sense. This applies to both men and women. I once had the pleasure of meeting that Qi Ling Sect Master. He was truly magnificent. No wonder your junior sister liked him."
After talking about Fu Lanting, he talked about Jiang Qiying.
"It's Brother Jiang, the friendship between young people is the most unforgettable. Compared with these two, Brother Luo, you don't have an advantage."
Luo Huaiyin was speechless and just remained silent. He knew that what the other party said was right.
"However, everything in the world is interdependent. If two people love each other and are willing to spend their lives together, then I can't do anything about it. But your junior sister and those two are probably far from reaching that level. This gives me an opportunity."
"So what should I do?"
Luo Huaiyin was completely focused, asking him impatiently. At the end, he added, "My junior sister is seeking the path to immortality. Men will only affect her cultivation speed. I am doing this for her own good, not for any selfish reasons."
The man smiled at him, not exposing his insincerity, and continued slowly:
"When we're young, our preferences are pure and instinctive. So your sister definitely likes men like Jiang Daoyou. Maybe she likes his temperament, or maybe she likes his looks. As she grows older and sees worldly desires, her heart becomes more refined. So, she likes men like Master Qi Ling. Perhaps she likes his body more than the other."
"Fellow Daoist Luo, you can be closer to Fellow Daoist Jiang in terms of appearance and style."
"You want me to learn from him?" Luo Huaiyin showed disdain, but gritted his teeth and asked, "Can learning from him make my junior sister change her mind?"
"Of course not."
The man had a smile on his face, but his gaze was fixed on him, sharper. He looked Luo Huaiyin up and down and spoke slowly:
"No matter what it is, only the first one is a treasure. The second one is just a fake. Never think that a fake can replace a treasure, unless the treasure breaks on its own."
"You're imitating Fellow Daoist Jiang's appearance and temperament because your junior sister probably likes that, but she can't be exactly like him. In private, you need to be open and meet her needs, but you can't always give in to her. Things that come too easily won't be cherished. Occasional strength and rebellion can arouse people's desire to conquer."
"When she casts enough glances at you, for whatever reason, you're halfway there."
His words would have been somewhat shocking to the outside world, but Luo Huaiyin listened very carefully, not questioning the excessiveness of these methods. After the man finished speaking, he even took out a blank jade slip and said seriously, "Anything else? I'll write it down."
The man glanced at the jade slip, not caring about his actions at all. He even took the initiative to help Luo Huaiyin fill in some details, teaching him step by step how to win a person's favor and how to effectively grab attention from others.
It was two hours later when the two people finished their conversation.
The man drank the last cup of tea, his face like a banished immortal still calm and composed, with an untainted temperament.
"Let's stop here today. No matter how many methods you have, you have to practice them to know if they are effective. Fellow Daoist Luo, why not try them out first? If you have any further questions, we can communicate on the Jade Communication Talisman."
"good."
Luo Huaiyin carefully put away the jade slip and took out a storage ring and handed it to him.
His expression was calm, as if he was only giving away an ordinary ring, not many precious treasures.
"This is a deposit. If your method works, I will never treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
The man accepted the ring and said with a smile, "Then I wish you a successful start."
"I'll give you my good wishes."
Luo Huaiyin didn't stay long. He had just studied for so long, and now he wanted to experiment immediately. He hurriedly said hello to the other party and said, "I'm leaving first."
He hurried away.
In the silent valley, only the man in white was left watching him go away.
He didn't play with the ring in his hand until the figure disappeared. His face, which looked like an exiled immortal, had the same smile as always, but there seemed to be something more in this smile.
"interesting."
A shallow voice was carried in the night wind, and I didn't know who it was talking about.
The man disappeared silently in the valley like a puff of green smoke.
After returning to the Qi Ling Xian Sect, Luo Huaiyin had no time to think about the man in white. He first went to his residence, took out a dressing mirror, and adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror until he changed from his previous gentle mask to a somewhat cold look, and then he adjusted his expression.
The brokenness of the lowered eyes and the hint of alienation in the coldness.
She is somewhat similar to Jiang Qiying, but also quite different.
Finally, Luo Huaiyin gritted his teeth and put on another set of clothes inside - a set of clothes made of thin chains, gems, and gauze and gold fabric. It was barely visible, but paired with his slender waist and the muscle texture under the gauze, it showed a wild beauty.
Beneath his cool exterior lies a wild and bold personality, a complete contrast. This is the character carefully crafted for him by the 'Master' of the Hehuan Sect.
However, since this was the first time he did something so shameful, Luo Huaiyin hid this set of things deep under his normal clothes, determined not to use it except in the critical moment.
It's so shameful.
After finishing all this and dressing up carefully, it was already the next morning.
The sun has just risen from the east, spreading golden light all over the earth.
Luo Huai was in high spirits, with the confidence of someone who had just completed his studies. Without wasting a moment, he walked towards Chonghua Palace under the glow of the rising sun.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Chonghua Hall, he saw an annoying figure.
The same style of white clothes, the cool and beautiful face, the temperament of a flower from the top of the mountain, and the pair of dark eyes always seem to have a faint sense of brokenness that is hard to resist.
Jiang Qiying also seemed to be looking for Jiang Zhaoyue, and unfortunately they met at the same time.
Luo Huaiyin carefully looked at the annoying bastard, and adjusted his posture calmly. He showed a slightly broken smile, and his words were soft as if he was possessed.
"Junior Brother Jiang, good morning. Are you here to see Junior Sister too?"
Unlike him, although he was wearing the same color clothes, the same style, and even had an expression that someone had deliberately adjusted, Jiang Qiying did not have a smile on her face, and therefore looked much colder than him.
He glanced at Luo Huaiyin, lingering for a moment on his deliberately dressed appearance, then looked away without even glancing at him, and simply bowed towards the palace door: "Disciple Jiang Qiying requests an audience."
Luo Huaiyin didn't care what he thought. He smiled and bowed towards the palace gate: "Junior Luo Huaiyin requests to see Sect Master Qi Ling."
The hall was silent for a few moments, and then Fu Lanting's cold voice came: "Come in."
But from the tone of his voice, one could tell that the master was in a bad mood.
Anyone who meets two people like this early in the morning would probably not be in a good mood.
So when the two saw him, there was no smile on his face.
Instead, Jiang Zhaoyue greeted him in a very gentle voice.
"Good morning, Senior Brother Jiang, good morning, Senior Brother Luo..."
Her gaze stopped on Luo Huaiyin.
There was a rare hint of surprise in Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes. He looked at him for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Qiying, and then at Luo Huaiyin.
Luo Huaiyin felt her gaze, but he just lowered his eyes with a faint expression on his face. He turned his best profile to her, with his back straight. From a distance, he really had some of Jiang Qiying's coldness and stubbornness.
Jiang Zhaoyue stared at him for several breaths, then said to the system in amazement, "What is he doing? Imitating Jiang Qiying? Wanwan Leiqing? Brother Pofang has such a mindset?"
The system was also somewhat puzzled, and finally could only vaguely say: "Maybe... he thinks you like this type."
"He's quite clever then. I do like this type."
“…”
The system is silent.
Luo Huaiyin, who was standing in the hall, raised the corners of his lips slightly.
The 'Master' of the Hehuan Sect was indeed useful. In the short time since he came in, Jiang Zhaoyue looked at him more than at Jiang Qiying and Fu Lanting combined.
He knew that with his talent and understanding, if he wanted to do something, there was no way he could lose to these shameless bastards.
Luo Huaiyin was in a joyful mood. There was a strange silence in the hall for a while, and finally the headmaster spoke.
"What's the matter? If nothing else, please leave. We still need to have breakfast."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Huaiyin spoke first. His voice was completely different from usual, with a gentle and elegant feeling, as pure as a chrysanthemum.
With his eyes half-closed, he deliberately fluttered his eyelashes twice so that Jiang Zhaoyue could see him, revealing a few heart-stirring longings from the bottom of his eyes before he spoke:
"I just got a pot of Tianshan Shenxue, and I'd like to invite Junior Sister and the Master to enjoy it together. Of course, if Junior Brother Jiang wants to come, I'd also welcome him. After all, you're the one Junior Sister likes."
The look Jiang Qiying gave him was enough to freeze him. After a long moment, he said emotionlessly, "Can a crow transform into a phoenix just by changing its skin?"
The gentle expression on Luo Huaiyin's face paused for a moment, and then he restrained his smile a little, but rarely did he fight back. He just lowered his eyes and the smile on his lips fell.
"I know you don't like me, and I don't really care. It's just that my junior sister likes you, and I can't bear to make her sad. If you insist on saying that, then I'm just asking for trouble."
His voice was very low, so low that it didn't sound aggressive at all, completely different from his usual attitude of wanting to curse the other person to death.
After she finished speaking, her eyelashes fluttered as she raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Zhaoyue quickly, then quickly lowered them again.
Every angle, even every subtle movement, the lost expression on his face, the irresistible fragility, are all so just right, like Jiang Qiying, but not entirely him.
Jiang Zhaoyue once again lamented to the system: "Where did he enroll in this class? It must be very expensive."
She was just joking, but this time even Jiang Zhaoyue didn't know that Luo Huaiyin really paid someone to learn it.
As the saying goes, there are thousands of ways to disgust people, but imitating others and using this borrowed attitude to win the favor of the same person is definitely one of the most disgusting ways.
The system suspects that Luo Huaiyin has now surpassed Fu Lanting and become the most hated character in the heart of its male protagonist.
He felt that Jiang Qiying would stab him when she got back, and it just so happened that they lived next door to each other.
Jiang Zhaoyue put her fist to her lips, cleared her throat, and covered the upturned corners of her lips, trying not to show any abnormality, so as not to make someone present think she was mocking her.
"Brother Luo, I won't reward you with flowers. Your outfit today is, well... very unique."
"Really?" Luo Huaiyin looked down at himself, still with a non-aggressive smile: "I'm just wearing it casually, please don't be disgusted, Junior Sister. But Junior Brother Jiang looks like he's dressed up carefully."
Jiang Qiying seemed to think that saying one more word to him was too much. He looked directly at Jiang Zhaoyue, and his cold voice sounded like the collision of gold and jade, which was very pleasant to the ear.
His coldness even turned into a clear spring flowing down a high mountain, which not only did not make people feel disgusted, but rather very comfortable.
Although he didn't look at Luo Huaiyin again or say a word to him, he proved with facts that a fake will always be a fake.
"Junior sister, I have something to give you."
His eyes were filled with warmth, as if he could only see her. He took out a square wooden box from his ring and handed it to Jiang Zhaoyue.
Before Jiang Zhaoyue reached out to take it, a slender hand pressed the corner of the box.
The Master, who had been silent until now, had a cold and calm look in his eyes. "Don't take out things that shouldn't be taken out."
Jiang Qiying also looked at him, with the same calmness, and the smile on her brows was cold and without any warmth.
"I am Master's disciple. What Master has, I should also have. This is the orderly inheritance. This is what Master taught me, isn't it?"
These words were really hurtful, making the coldness on Fu Lanting's face even deeper.
Luo Huaiyin, who didn't know the details of what was going on, didn't want to listen to their quarrel. He cleared his cough, revealing his tightly bound waist inadvertently. The wide sleeves made him look taller, yet still strong as a cultivator.
He lifted his hair naturally, and when he felt his junior sister's attention drawn to him, he stepped back a few steps, acting distant and cold, as if he didn't want to get involved in their dispute at all.
His faint smile and onlooker attitude gave him an extra touch of calm charm.
This abnormal posture caused the headmaster to look at him again, but he just frowned.
Luo Huaiyin seemed completely oblivious. He chuckled softly and praised, "What a loving father and filial son."
He said the sarcastic statement with a hint of ridicule.
Seeing them looking at him, he raised his head and the smile on his deliberately dressed, somewhat cold face deepened.
Luo Huaiyin not only did not join in the dispute, but he bowed leisurely and said nonchalantly: "Since the master wants to teach his disciples, I should not stay any longer. Farewell."
After saying that, he left, but before he left, the light from the corner of his eye caught Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes. Luo Huaiyin's palm slid from the neck to the chest. There was some erotic movement, as if hinting at something, but his expression was not ambiguous at all.
He hooked Jiang Zhaoyue like a small hook, and then left without hesitation.
Behind him, Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes curved, and he suddenly felt that Senior Brother Luo was also a bit interesting.
