Chapter 9 Setting Traps



"Everyone should go back and copy the scriptures a hundred times."

She was annoyed, so she casually chased them away.

Wu Hua and Jin Hua snorted and went back to their rooms.

"Little Bai, did we unknowingly hurt our senior brother so much?"

Su Youxue held Xiaobai in her arms, her eyes red. Was her senior brother disappointed in her?

"Meow meow meow!" Little White stood up, put its front paws on its hips, and looked smug.

Lin Fan slept soundly, exhausted. Chu Yunying was also amazing, practicing all night long; he had never been this busy in his previous life.

He slept from morning until evening. When he woke up, he felt that everything was dark in front of him, as if something was blocking his eyes.

"Hey, why is my junior sister's underwear sticking out?"

Curious, he picked up the lingerie. It was Chu Yunying's, and it still had a faint, youthful fragrance. However, the color seemed a little different; this one was light yellow.

"System, did you steal underwear again?"

Lin Fan cursed inwardly, "This damn system is stealing again! I'm not a pervert!" He then muttered under his breath as he hid the underwear and the pink and white items together.

“Host, please watch your words. How could you ruin my reputation?” the system retorted.

Lin Fan rolled his eyes. This wasn't the first time you'd done something like this. You have no reputation to speak of. He was too lazy to argue.

"Another beautiful day." The door opened gently, he stretched, the sun slowly setting, he twisted his neck, feeling even more tired after sleeping all day.

Before the room came a figure in light green, which was Chu Yunying. When she saw Lin Fan come out, her face turned bright red, as if it were on fire, for some reason.

"Junior Sister Chu, you didn't come into my room just now, did you?" Lin Fan was a little embarrassed. If he went in and saw that he was sleeping under her underwear, she would definitely think he was a pervert.

"I've been waiting outside for you, Senior Brother!" Chu Yunying's body trembled slightly, her face flushed even more, and she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look him in the eye.

"You're up too early. The sun has just set. Don't you need to eat?" Lin Fan was speechless. This fourth junior sister was really a cultivation maniac. Did she have nothing else to do that she found interesting besides cultivation?

“I’ve been fasting lately!” Chu Yunying said softly.

Since learning the Phoenix Spirit Sword Technique last night, she has felt something in her heart and vaguely sensed signs of breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

If successful, she will be the first disciple of the Qingxiao Sect to break through to the Golden Core stage.

"Then wait for me to wash up first." He lazily carried water to wash up and put on the jade hairpin he had been rewarded with last night.

This is a defensive magic artifact that can easily withstand attacks from experts at the Golden Core stage.

Chu Yunying stared blankly at him after he finished washing up, her eyes unwilling to look away.

For some reason, the senior brother seemed to have a different aura tonight; once you looked at him, you didn't want to look away.

"Ding, does the host wish to use the Hehuan Powder?" the system's voice sounded again.

"roll!"

"Okay!"

Lin Fan rubbed his eyes, thinking, "I just need to endure it for three months."

"Hey, why aren't you leaving?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"ah?"

Chu Yunying came to her senses, feeling her heart pounding like a frantic deer.

"Senior Brother, I have mastered the first level of the Phoenix Spirit Sword Technique. Let's not practice swordsmanship tonight." She followed him up, and beside him, she felt calmer.

"Should I go back now?"

Lin Fan asked tentatively, "If I don't practice swordsmanship, I don't want to go out either."

"Senior Brother, to cultivate the Phoenix Spirit Sword Technique to a higher level, we need your sword techniques to assist us. I would like to learn more about your past," Chu Yunying said.

She was very nervous, staring at him expectantly, afraid of being rejected. Was this what anticipation felt like?

"There's not much to say. I grew up in a small mountain village and was then abducted to the Qingxiao Sect," Lin Fan said.

When he was ten years old, he was living a carefree life in the village. Then one day, Leng Xingyue from Youzhu Peak passed by and said that he had good talent and wanted to take him as a disciple. Before he could answer, he was forcibly taken back to the sect.

"How about Junior Sister Chu..." Lin Fan hesitated, glancing away.

Chu Yunying played with her hair; was she trying to ask about her background?

"Keep an eye out for any missions that require me to go down the mountain to hunt magical beasts or deal with cultists!"

Chu Yunying nodded, secretly relieved. Luckily, he didn't ask about her background, otherwise she wouldn't know how to tell him.

"Senior brother, isn't the highest level of your Dragon Soul Sword Technique and my Phoenix Spirit Sword Technique about mutual understanding?"

"I don't know, I've only just reached the first level," Lin Fan said.

He was still reluctant to communicate with Chu Yunying.

The system spent ninety-nine lifetimes trying to kill Long Aotian, but it couldn't. This guy is a bit hard to kill.

It didn't say whether Chu Yunying, Su Youxue, and the others were reborn. It might involve taboo secrets, or it might genuinely not know.

He then speculated that the villains chosen by the system in the previous ninety-nine lifetimes might have been betrayed in the end, which was why they failed.

They were all love-struck and ended up getting screwed over. Even the ridiculously unreliable system couldn't save them, so they need to be careful.

Now he is all alone. As long as he doesn't fall in love, he has no weaknesses. As long as he has no weaknesses, he can be fearless.

"Senior Brother, there is indeed a mission that can be completed by going down the mountain, but Long Aotian has already taken it." Seeing how wary he was of her, and remembering his wish, Chu Yunying still came out.

"Do you know what the mission is and how to get there?" Lin Fan asked.

“Only the chief disciple can find out these things!” Chu Yunying said.

"Thank you for informing me, Junior Sister." Lin Fan rushed to the main hall to receive the missions and used his status as the chief disciple to investigate the information of several missions.

"Perhaps I can try to get rid of him before he grows up."

He looked at the mission route and also investigated Long Aotian's information. Seeing that the latter had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. As expected of the chosen one, his leveling speed was almost as fast as a rocket.

"Fortunately, it's only a ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator fighting a first-level one. The advantage is mine. Even if he breaks through continuously in the past few days, he can only reach the third level of Foundation Establishment at most. He can't possibly be my match."

The system says we need to deal with Long Aotian, so killing him is the best option.

If you want to kill a future unparalleled powerhouse, the best option is to eliminate him when he is still weak.

He didn't apply for leave from the sect, but instead sneaked down the mountain. However, having Chu Yunying by his side made him more worried, as he always felt that this girl was there to spy on him.

Chu Yunying's reasoning was simple: it would take Long Aotian at least seven days to complete the mission and travel back and forth, during which time they could practice swordsmanship together.

"Do you know what I came down the mountain to do?" Lin Fan asked.

"Murder and arson?" Chu Yunying drew her sword and said fiercely, which was different from her otherworldly temperament.

Lin Fan looked at her in surprise. Was his junior sister's killing intent really that strong?

"Junior sister, how could you think such a thing? How could we do something like harming our fellow disciples? I was just worried that he was tired from the mission and wanted to show him some care."

Could it be that she's worried I'll harm Long Aotian, and that's why she's following me and spying on me?

The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Could it be that what he did the past two days was all to lower his guard and then tell him about Long Aotian, deliberately luring him down the mountain?

Even Long Aotian's quests were designed in collaboration with them.

Lin Fan became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it, a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and goosebumps breaking out all over his body.

To lower my guard, she first offered me a piece of ice crystal, and then tried to chat with me casually, thus breaking down my defenses once again.

It was all pre-designed, step by step. No wonder the system selected 99 people who failed. Who could withstand this kind of setup?

system:……

Seeing Lin Fan suddenly move his position and distance himself from her, Chu Yunying was a little confused. Seeing her senior brother's cautious look, Chu Yunying was both annoyed and amused.

At the same time, she also felt sorry for her senior brother, remembering the despair he felt in his previous life when his meridians were destroyed and he was exiled to a forbidden area. It must have been very painful for him.

She had a suspicion that her senior brother had changed recently. He was cold towards his junior sister and not as respectful to their master as before. Could it be because he, like her, had been reborn?

If he could be reborn, why couldn't his senior brother? Because he had painful memories of his previous life, he wanted to escape the place that had tormented him for the rest of his life.

Now he's so careful around himself.

Of course, this was just her conjecture, but she dared not confirm it. To prove that her senior brother had also been reborn, she would have to make him admit it.

If he admits it, then all the things in his past life were because he was wronged by his junior sisters and master. How can his senior brother live with him then?

"If Senior Brother is worried about revealing his identity, I can take care of it."

Chu Yunying looked into his eyes, her gaze softening, and said, "Senior brother, trust me, okay?"

Lin Fan withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down. No wonder they say that a gentle embrace is a hero's grave; who can resist such sudden tenderness?

He glanced away and said, "You make the first move, and I'll launch a sneak attack from the shadows. Success or failure hinges on this."

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Chu Yunying's mood improved, and a charming smile slowly appeared on her pretty face, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.

Over the next few days, Lin Fan busied himself along their usual route back to the sect. Chu Yunying sat on a rock, her chin resting on her hands, sometimes beaming with joy, sometimes looking shy.

As evening fell, they practiced swordsmanship together, and their teamwork gradually improved, causing Lin Fan's guard to weaken.

During this time, the two were discussing how to set up a trap, and then Chu Yunying threw a bunch of talismans at him. The rich girl's generosity opened his eyes.

It seems that no matter which world you go to, rich women are still more appealing, saving you ten years of hard work.

After setting up the trap, he nodded in satisfaction and then hid to the side waiting for Long Aotian to return.

"Senior Brother, do you think we can do it? If not, can I find another way to get some more things?" Chu Yunying asked softly.

"That's enough. If we can't kill them this time, we'll have to reconsider."

Looking at her timid and hesitant appearance, yet with a touch of liveliness, Lin Fan's gaze was strange. It turned out she still had a girlish side; one could only say that the environment changes a person too much.
