Chu Yunying danced gracefully under the moon, her sword swaying in the moonlight, creating a beautiful scene that left Lin Fan mesmerized.
No wonder she has such an aloof and celibate face, yet she is still pursued by many male disciples and has the most admirers.
The night passed silently, and fallen leaves were dragged by the wind, spinning in the air before slowly falling to the ground.
唳
The sword energy hummed, and a phoenix phantom vaguely condensed within it, exuding a majestic aura and overwhelming pressure, sweeping across the land like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Chu Yunying wiped her sweat, revealing two charming dimples on her pretty face.
She raised her beautiful eyes and looked in Lin Fan's direction, but he had already disappeared.
The first rays of sunlight pierced the horizon in the early morning. Facing the sun, I realized I had been practicing for so long.
She sheathed her sword and twirled her hair with both hands. It turned out that her senior brother was hiding his true abilities. But why did he never reveal himself?
Puzzled and confused, she sensed something fishy about this and felt it might be related to Long Aotian.
She always remembered that in her past life, her senior brother was suppressed by Long Aotian, but he never complained. Later, they learned from Long Aotian that her senior brother had become a demon and was then killed by him.
"Senior Brother, don't worry, I will definitely protect you in this life. Long Aotian will never bully you again!" She took out the Phoenix Spirit Sword Manual, feeling very happy.
She was probably the only one who practiced swordsmanship with her senior brother; it was their secret, so how could she possibly pass it on to someone else!
The next morning, Long Aotian stretched his muscles and bones.
Before long, he slowly got out of bed, changed his clothes, and wandered around the sect.
Suddenly he heard the sound of sword energy. Curious, he went over to take a look and found that Chu Yunying was practicing her sword in the bamboo forest.
Looking at that graceful figure and that breathtakingly beautiful face, his eyes were fixed on her with a burning intensity.
Ever since he first saw Chu Yunying upon entering the Qingxiao Sect, her image has been lingering in his mind. Even during his fierce battle with Fang Shao, his mind was filled with Chu Yunying's face.
However, this senior sister preferred quiet and had an elegant and indifferent personality. She rarely went out to participate in activities. Although the two rarely communicated, the fourth senior sister trusted her very much.
"There are celestial beings among mortals, and after three rounds of wine, my courage is emboldened. My soul is drawn to this cave, and what does it matter if I fall into the underworld!"
He decided to strike swiftly, using his handsome face and charm to win her over.
"Excellent swordsmanship! Fourth Senior Sister's swordsmanship is ever-changing, which I greatly admire." Long Aotian straightened his clothes and clapped his hands in praise.
Chu Yunying stopped what she was doing, glanced at Long Aotian, her eyes lowered slightly, and a look of disgust and killing intent flashed in them.
"Why are you here at my Cloud Guest Peak instead of cultivating on Black Bamboo Peak?"
Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Junior brother has been a disciple for over three months, but has never personally come to pay his respects to Senior Sister Yunying. I have come in haste today to disturb you, so please do not take offense, Senior Sister." Long Aotian bowed naturally, a gentle and refined smile appearing on his face.
"A sunny and cheerful guy like me is perfect for winning over an ice queen's heart," he thought smugly.
"You've come and seen the person, please leave!" Chu Yunying said calmly.
She was about to lose control of her murderous intent; she wanted nothing more than to draw her sword and kill this scoundrel.
Long Aotian was somewhat astonished. His proud smile, his charm that had never failed him, and his calm and composed demeanor—why did they fail him today?
In the past, as long as he smiled at people and said a few words, even if the other person didn't feel anything, they would still communicate with him politely. He was never directly driven away.
"Junior brother was fortunate enough to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage yesterday, but there are still some aspects of his swordsmanship that he doesn't understand. He would like to ask senior sister for guidance!"
He was very unwilling. He had finally gotten a chance to be alone with Chu Yunying, so how could he miss it?
Chu Yunying's gaze was icy. Since you're determined to die, then don't blame me.
At the same time, she was quite surprised. Long Aotian broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage in just three months, a speed that was unprecedented. She could not let him continue to grow like this.
"Draw your sword!" she said, raising it and pointing it at Long Aotian.
"Be careful, her sword has a murderous aura, it's best not to provoke her."
A clear, melodious voice came from the ring. She had been awakened from her slumber by the murderous aura, hence the reminder.
She sensed that the Qingxiao Sect's luck had changed and felt uneasy. She had warned Long Aotian not to cause trouble, but he wanted to cause trouble again in just a few days!
"Master, rest assured, I know what I'm doing," Long Aotian said confidently with a smile.
He had inquired about Chu Yunying's identity and knew her personality well. When she was practicing her sword just now, there was a hint of killing intent in her swordplay, so it wasn't aimed at him.
Once she learns of her talent and imperial bearing, she will surely be captivated by her strength and charm, becoming his possession.
Her master sighed helplessly and remained silent.
Chu Yunying drew her sword swiftly, and in an instant, a powerful sword aura swept through the air, raising dust as her figure transformed into a rainbow. Her attack was extremely fast and merciless.
Long Aotian was horrified and retreated to defend. In the instant the two clashed, his sword flew out of his hand, his wrist throbbed with pain, and a sword aura pierced through his shoulder, causing blood to splatter.
He gasped for breath, using his ultimate movement technique to create distance. It wasn't an illusion; when Chu Yunying attacked just now, she truly intended to kill him.
Originally intending to show off, he was immediately humiliated when he made his move. Long Aotian felt his face burning with shame.
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister. I am still not skilled enough, so I will take my leave now." Long Aotian dared not linger any longer and fled.
Chu Yunying was about to give chase when suddenly her delicate body trembled slightly, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her spiritual energy became chaotic, making her situation very unpleasant.
"Damn it, it's not easy to kill him after all!" Chu Yunying's face was cold. She had already made three attempts, but she still hadn't been able to kill Long Aotian. She was the one who made the move in the Monster Valley.
She only knew that he was shifting the blame to his senior brother, but she never expected that his senior brother would confess. If he were really stripped of his cultivation and expelled from the sect, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Chu Yunying vaguely sensed that every time she was about to succeed, an invisible force would hinder her.
She circulated her internal energy to regulate her breathing, but could only watch helplessly as Long Aotian left.
"Ding: Congratulations to the host for thwarting the destiny of the chosen one! Reward: Jade Hairpin!"
Lin Fan was speechless. This system was malfunctioning. He hadn't done anything, so how could it have thwarted the Chosen One? Was it just that you had too many treasures and were trying to find an excuse to give them to him?
"It seems that this is the 99th time Long Aotian has destroyed the world. The system is desperate and trying anything. I need to find a better way to stop it from going on like this."
He thought to himself, "This bastard tried to get the protagonist to reincarnate ninety-nine times and still failed, which means this matter is very difficult."
"Damn system, how about we make a deal?"
"What transaction?"
"I agree to work together to deal with Long Aotian, but you have to tell me some things."
"What is it?"
"Has Chu Yunying been reborn?"
Chu Yunying gave him a leaf of ice crystal as she told him the truth, which surprised him. This thing was given to Long Aotian in his previous life. Since the plot has gone astray, her personality has also changed.
Therefore, there is only one truth: Chu Yunying has also been reborn.
Although the system did not answer his question, with his intelligent mind, it was easy for him to guess. He hadn't read novels on Earth for nothing, just like how handsome and charismatic readers like to stay at home and read novels.
"If you don't want to talk, then don't. Let's just lie low for a while. If we can really kill Long Aotian, we need to be fully prepared."
Lingzhu Residence is the secluded cultivation place of Leng Xingyue, the master of Youzhu Peak. In her spare time, she likes to plant flowers and plants here by herself.
She was dressed in a plain white dress, taking small steps, her eyes radiating a clear and ethereal aura, and her stunningly beautiful face adorned with a gentle smile.
Her plain clothes fluttered without wind, making her look like a peerless beauty who was detached from the world and untouched by any worldly dust.
"Master, why have you summoned us here?"
Five of Su Youxue's personal disciples, Chu Yunying, Hua Nongyue, Qin Wunian, and Lu Shuisheng, gathered here.
Among the direct disciples of Youzhu Peak, there are four men and five women. Hua Nongyue is the fifth disciple, Qin Wunian is the sixth disciple, and Lu Shuisheng is the seventh disciple.
They were all beautiful and were known as the five golden flowers of Youzhu Peak. Apart from Chu Yunying, whose background was tragic, the other four women had high status before joining Qingxiao Sect.
Lu Shuisheng's parents were renowned chivalrous cultivators who traveled the world with their swords, helping the weak and punishing the strong.
Qin Wunian was the eldest daughter of the Qin family, but she was ostracized by her family and framed by her own sister. In the end, she had nowhere to go, so she came to the Qingxiao Sect to become a disciple and learn martial arts.
Hua Nongyue's origins are mysterious, and few in the sect know about her [the author hasn't decided yet], so we won't mention her for now.
The three women went out of the sect together on a mission a month ago and only recently returned.
"Tell me about your senior brother. Have you noticed anything unusual about him lately?" Leng Xingyue asked.
“I always felt that Senior Brother had suffered some kind of trauma, and he has changed completely,” Su Youxue said softly.
Leng Xingyue rolled her eyes. She was naturally aware of Lin Fan's change, otherwise she wouldn't have called them over to inquire.
As for Hua Nongyue, Qin Wunian and Lu Shuisheng hadn't contacted Lin Fan yet, but since they happened to be back today, they were invited over together.
"Yinger, what do you say?"
"It's Master!"
Chu Yunying said, "I think Senior Brother might want to leave the sect and completely sever ties with Qingxiao Sect."
"What? Senior Brother wants to leave?" Hua Nongyue, Qin Wunian, and Lu Shuisheng were somewhat moved. They had only left once, and Senior Brother no longer wanted to be the chief disciple?
"Continue!" Leng Xingyue paused slightly as she picked up a spoon to scoop water and water the flowers.
Chu Yunying lost her family at a young age, so she was quite sensitive to these things. She took a deep breath and said, "Perhaps it's because I've experienced despair."
"But Senior Brother has always been in the sect, and nothing special has happened. Why is he in despair?" Lu Shuisheng asked, puzzled.
"Who knows? Perhaps he was thinking about things he didn't want to think about or seeing things he didn't want to see. Otherwise, why would he have voluntarily abandoned his cultivation and left the sect twice?" Chu Yunying said.
"It's all Third Senior Sister's fault. If she and that Long Aotian hadn't pressured Senior Brother, he wouldn't be like this." Lu Shuisheng glared at Su Youxue and said coldly.
"That's all in the past. You still listened to Long Aotian and stole Senior Brother's elixir," Su Youxue retorted.
"That's not as bad as Fifth Senior Sister. She smashed the jade pendant that Senior Brother had been carrying since childhood in order to avenge Long Aotian."
"Sixth Junior Sister, you think you're so pure? When Senior Brother was injured saving you, you even spilled his healing medicine."
"Enough! Stop arguing! We didn't summon you here to listen to your bickering," Leng Xingyue snapped.
The five women immediately fell silent, their faces filled with anger, each refusing to yield to the other.
