Chapter 97 Junior Sister Switches to the Path of Ruthlessness 8 Wan Qingyun
Yun Chiyi felt a sudden sense of relief, except for the excruciating pain in her arm, as if it were broken. Her gaze fell heavily as she looked down at the hundred-foot cliff below, where water splashed and surged like rolling waves. Lin Yuwan had been swallowed by the river, and then a golden light flashed from the riverbed, as if a fish had been swept downstream. She breathed a sigh of relief.
The bloodstains on her hands had gradually seeped into her skin, making it impossible to see what Lin Yuwan had drawn.
Don't worry, host, the male supporting character won't die here.
Yes, her fate is still unknown.
Yun Chiyi gripped the tree roots with both hands and walked close to the cliff face. The wind was strong, and her legs were trembling.
She struggled to hide in the crevice, but the man in black leaped down, flashed past her, and chased after the river. He stopped on the river and searched around, but Lin Yuwan had long since disappeared, swept away by the current. They searched like headless flies for several rounds.
Yun Chiyi clutched her head in pain, leaned against the stone wall, and sat down weakly.
In front of these people, she was nothing but an ant; they could easily crush her. Faced with such an absolute disparity in strength, all her efforts were in vain.
She held on for a long time, keeping an eye on the movements of the men in black. When they found nothing, she turned and flew back to Chengming. Finally, her heart was out of her throat.
She couldn't go out yet. Yun Chiyi's eyelids were drooping. She hugged her aching arm and closed her eyes, wanting to rest.
Unexpectedly, she slept for a whole day and night, and was awakened by the cold at dusk the next day.
Ants and mice crawled out of the cracks, chattering and surrounding her, waiting to devour her after she breathed her last.
Yun Chiyi stood up in disgust, her whole body aching as if it were about to fall apart. She kicked the rat away and listened carefully to the sounds coming from above.
All was quiet; those people must have left.
She poked her head out, but the fog had rolled in, obscuring her view of the river. However, she knew that if she fell from here without the protection of the Feather Bracelet, she would either crash into the rocks on the riverbank or be swept away by the current and drown.
Let's climb up first and then talk about it.
Yun Chiyi exerted tremendous effort, crawling to the ground covered in dust and dirt, mentally wishing the system would be tortured a thousand times over.
[Host, please stop cursing. This world offers the highest rewards, so the mission mode is a bit difficult.]
[The old method: win over the male supporting character. Once his affection level is high enough, we can unlock other features.]
Yun Chiyi stood blankly in the night, the cold wind like a merciless blade, scraping at her wounds.
Lin Yuwan is nowhere to be found, so what's the point of trying to win her over?
Yun Chiyi sneaked down the mountain in the dark of night, ate the fruit in the mountains to fill her stomach, and stayed at the foot of the mountain for three days, but did not wait for Lin Yuwan to join her.
The system informed Lin Yuwan that her vital signs were stable and that she was not in any danger.
So, is he holding a grudge against her and unwilling to see her?
Yun Chiyi wasn't afraid of his hatred; she was afraid of not being able to find him.
On the fourth day, Yun Chiyi went to the town at the foot of the mountain to find food and also to see if she could find medicine to bandage her wounds.
She felt feverish all over, and her legs moved forward numbly. The snow had turned all the mountain peaks white, and she felt the snow under her feet getting closer and closer. She was about to faint again.
She was suddenly dizzy and fell face down on the ground, her consciousness blurred, and she felt no pain at all.

Chengming eventually declined, disappearing overnight, and was never mentioned again for the next sixteen years.
Currently, the six major sects in the cultivation world are vying for power, showing a trend of dividing the world into six parts. Each sect is opening its gates wide to recruit qualified disciples.
The Qingming Sect recently recruited a new group of people. After the eight- or nine-year-old boys and girls entered, they looked around curiously, their mouths agape. The things of the immortals are indeed different from those of the mortals.
Before their eyes, the tall buildings were surrounded by flowing clouds, and new greenery was growing wildly in the forest. Petals as red as jade hung on the branches, and the buildings on the steps were as clear as white jade. The young disciples couldn't help but feel their meridians were relaxed, as if they had been cleansed of much of the dust of the mortal world.
The senior brother leading the way straightened his posture and strode ahead: "You have all passed the Star Division Platform, which means you all have excellent spiritual roots. I will take you to see the elders, and we will find out which sect you will join today."
Other disciples walking up and down the steps exchanged nods and greetings, already accustomed to the annual influx of new disciples.
The younger disciples looked at their senior brothers and sisters with envy, secretly vowing to become immortals who could pluck stars from the sky.
I heard people say that cultivators at the foot of the mountain have extraordinary features and are all stunningly beautiful. When I entered the Qingming Sect, I found that it was indeed true.
The young disciple looked up and saw a person riding on clouds, their green robes flowing like clouds overhead. He stood there stunned, his gaze following the departing figure.
The senior brother leading the way coughed and said, "That is Senior Sister Yun, a disciple of the Grand Elder. She cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness and has been a disciple for sixteen years. She is already in the late stage of the Golden Core realm."
A pink-faced girl exclaimed "Wow!" from the bottom of her heart.
"As long as you focus on cultivation, anything is possible."
A figure in cyan appeared at the entrance of a grand hall. Yu Ziting stood tall and elegant, her eyebrows slightly raised and her eyes bright. She looked at the six or seven white-robed immortals inside the hall. Yun Chiyi moved her feet lightly and approached unhurriedly.
When Elder Wusi saw her arrive, he smiled and waved to her, "Come, come, come here to your master."
Yun Chiyi took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully: "Master."
Wu Si always smiled when he saw her, stroking his long beard: "My disciple has been in seclusion for a year, and his cultivation has greatly improved."
The other elders were envious upon hearing this. Wu Si was truly lucky; during his travels, he picked up a little girl who was also a cultivation prodigy. Other disciples who cultivated the Path of No Emotion were always troubled by the seven emotions and six desires, but Yun Chiyi was different. She had no worldly affairs or emotions in her eyes; it seemed that only cultivation was the right thing to do.
Yun Chiyi stood to the side without saying a word, her expression calm and composed. While listening to the elders bickering over the woman, she was actually exhausted and just wanted to go back to meditate and find some peace and quiet.
She first accompanied the new junior disciples to meet them, and then sparred with her senior brothers in the inner sect on the martial arts stage. Today, the candidates to go to the Star-Stepping Banquet in three months will be decided.
In the blink of an eye, the Star-Treading Banquet is just around the corner again.
As evening fell, Yun Chiyi, clutching her disciple's token, bid farewell to Wu Si and eagerly returned to pack her belongings.
Sixteen years have passed, and she finally has the chance to find Lin Yuwan's whereabouts. If she doesn't go now, her favorability rating will drop to negative three digits.
That night, Yun Chiyi descended the mountain overnight.
The younger disciples, hearing of her tireless efforts, were filled with admiration.
As soon as Yun Chiyi stepped out of the mountain gate, rustling sounds followed her through the woods. With a flick of her wrist, the silver sword at her waist flew out with a whoosh, gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
"Hey, wait a minute, senior sister!"
A ball rolled out of the woods and, when it reached Yun Chiyi, it stretched out its limbs and transformed into a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.
Yun Chiyi glanced down at her: "What are you doing following me?"
She immediately activated the teleportation array to send him back to the mountain.
The handsome young man knelt down and hugged her legs: "Senior sister, please let me go with you. If you leave, the other senior brothers will definitely bully me."
"I promise I won't cause you any trouble along the way. I'll do your laundry, cook for you, and be your slave!"
He smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, trying to look more innocent, but suddenly realized that playing the victim would work better, so he pursed his lips and squeezed out tears: "Senior sister, I beg you, I won't tell Master that you took me there. I wanted to go for training on my own, and it has nothing to do with you."
Yun Chiyi kicked him away: "Shut up, you're disturbing me."
She looked at Wan Qingyun lying on the ground. Of course, she didn't need him to do laundry or cook, but there were many benefits to having the male lead's childhood body with him. As soon as Wan Qingyun left the sect, he could see rare treasures, subdue ancient beasts, and travel together. He could also be used as a magic needle.
The Gu worms in her body are still there, and she needs to find medicine to suppress them.
There's just one thing: don't let him clash with Lin Yuwan.
However, Wan Qingyun is currently weak and easily bullied, so she shouldn't be able to hurt Lin Yuwan.
"Junior Brother Wan, I can agree, but I have three conditions. First, you should ask as few questions as possible about my affairs. Second, you cannot act without my permission. Finally, in dangerous situations, you must run fast to save your life, understand?"
Wan Qingyun beamed with joy: "Please rest assured, Senior Sister!"
He fastened his bundle and excitedly circled around Yun Chiyi.
"Senior sister, where are we going now?"
Yun Chiyi unfolded the map in her palm, and a stream of light bloomed in her hand.
Searching everywhere for people wouldn't work, so she planned to take on some demon-slaying missions to exchange for spirit stones to buy pills, and then make a name for herself at the Star-Stepping Banquet. That way, when Lin Yuwan heard her name, she would travel thousands of miles to meet her with a sword in hand.
Yun Chiyi said, "Changlinhai."
Wan Qingyun: "Where are we going? What for?"
Yun Chiyi glanced at her coldly and said, "Didn't I tell you not to ask about my affairs?"
Wan Qingyun covered her mouth and remained silent.
The two, one big and one small, traveled overnight towards Changlinhai. Yun Chiyi flew through the sky on his sword. Before the golden crow rose, they landed in a small town to rest.
As soon as she landed, Wan Qingyun's pale face turned red, and she vomited violently under a tree.
Yun Chiyi caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, frowned, and walked away.
Wan Qingyun got up and, not seeing anyone, hurriedly called out, "Senior Sister, wait for me!"
As dawn broke, there were few pedestrians in the town, and many houses kept their doors tightly shut. When they saw outsiders entering, they curiously peeked through the cracks in their doors.
There was something strange about this town; it was filled with an eerie aura. Yun Chiyi reached out and touched her sword, her eyes becoming alert.
It was Wan Qingyun's first time traveling far from home, and everything was new and exciting to her. She looked around with wide eyes.
"Hey, senior sister, what's this stage for?"
Yun Chiyi looked over and said calmly, "This is an altar."
Wan Qingyun frowned immediately: "I feel something is strange. If it is an altar, why is there a screen depicting a wedding in the human world? And why are there so many old tree roots around it? What god do the people in this town believe in?"
Yun Chiyi said, "Ask less, look more."
No sooner had the two finished speaking than a shadow flashed out from the altar, and a demon mask rushed in front of them.
Wan Qingyun was so frightened that he immediately drew his sword. Yun Chiyi pressed down on the back of his hand, and with a flick of her wrist, she cast a binding spell. The shadow was tied to the ground, and the mask fell off, revealing that it was actually a girl.
The little girl stared blankly at Yun Chiyi and asked, "Sister, are you a fairy?"
