He returned to his residence and saw his junior sister sitting in his room, resting her chin on her hands in a daze, her little feet swinging back and forth.
This left him speechless. What was wrong with these junior female students today? They seemed to have suffered some kind of shock, rushing towards him like ducks being herded for roasting!
"Senior Brother, you're back!" Lu Shuisheng ran over happily, like a young wife waiting for her husband to return home.
"Junior Sister Lu, go back to sleep. You're so young, you need to make the most of your time to cultivate," Lin Fan said irritably.
"Senior Brother, you're so biased! Why do you favor Fourth Senior Sister the only one? Aren't we your junior sisters?" Lu Shuisheng pouted and said unhappily.
"When did I ever favor her the most?" Lin Fan said stubbornly. Recently, he had indeed treated Chu Yunying better than his junior sisters, but he would never admit to such a thing.
"We all know that you not only practice swordsmanship with your fourth senior sister at night, but you also sleep with her underwear every night!"
They didn't see their senior brother return, and then they found Chu Yunying's underwear under his pillow in his room. The sisters started arguing and fighting again, which alerted their master, and they were all reprimanded.
Lin Fan, his face dark, said to his face that he had just searched through his room, asking if he had any privacy, any law, or any sense of justice.
Knowing I have this perverse fetish, they don't view me the way they did in my past life. Does that mean they've accepted it?
In their past lives, they all hated themselves. When they saw that they had stolen Chu Yunying's underwear, everyone looked at them with disgust and loathing, wishing they could nail them to the pillar of shame for the rest of their lives.
The subsequent punishment was very severe; he even lost his position as the top leader.
It would have been better if she hadn't brought it up, because the moment she did, the thorn in her heart started to ache again.
"Senior Brother, this is what I usually wear! You can hug it to sleep from now on!" Lu Shuisheng blushed and took out a pink bra, which still had the warmth of her body on it.
This series of actions left Lin Fan completely stunned; his junior sister indeed had a yandere personality.
"Junior Sister, you have great talent. You should focus more on cultivation," Lin Fan said earnestly, opening his inner garment.
Am I that kind of person? He's the only model youth in Tianchen Continent who has received compulsory education, with the highest academic qualifications and the highest moral character. How could he do such a thing?
Thinking about the changes in his junior sisters today, he no longer wanted to think about it. He decided to speak his mind so that he could calm down and focus on dealing with Long Aotian.
"But no matter how well we cultivate in the future, we will still get married."
Lu Shuisheng looked at him shyly. In the final stage of their cultivation journey, they would usually have three choices.
Once you've cultivated to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, you can choose to stay in the sect and take on an important position, find a Daoist partner to wander the world, live out your remaining years alone, or return to your family for a marriage alliance and continue to contribute to the family.
Many people would choose the latter, or choose to wander the world freely, while a few would stay in the sect or go it alone.
On the path of cultivation, they need more resources, which will inevitably lead to conflict. Whether it's sects, families, or independent cultivators, the mortality rate exceeds fifty percent.
This is why cultivators, despite having long lifespans, need to constantly absorb fresh blood to cultivate powerful figures within their sects.
As some people begin to walk this path, others will inevitably perish in the struggle.
“This is your choice, but your senior brother is single-mindedly focused on cultivation, aiming only to become an immortal!” Lin Fan said.
“But the path to immortality has been severed for thousands of years, and no one has successfully transcended the tribulation,” Lu Shuisheng said anxiously.
Lin Fan's words meant that if one wanted to become an immortal, one needed to abandon all emotions and sever ties with the mortal world if one wanted to take this path.
They cultivate immortality, severing all ties to the mortal world and forgetting the passage of time.
She didn't want her senior brother to go down this path.
"Senior Brother, let's not become immortals, let's stay together forever, okay?" she said, clinging to Lin Fan's arm, her voice trembling with tears.
"Everyone has their own ambitions. When you give up on this mountain, you will find that there are more beautiful landscapes waiting for you outside the mountain."
Lin Fan said indifferently, "Have I forgiven my junior sisters? Of course not. If I didn't need them to deal with Long Aotian, I would rather find a place to hide and never see them again in this lifetime."
Does he hate his junior sisters? Of course he does, including his master Leng Xingyue. He owed her a debt he had already repaid with his life in his previous life.
In this life, he owes no one anything and only wants to live for himself. Even if he is entangled in karma, it is they who owe him.
"Is Senior Brother still resentful of the things we did in the past?" Lu Shuisheng asked, her eyes red.
"I have let go of the past and the present. I hope you can let go too and be ordinary fellow students."
"But Senior Brother, I can't let go, and I can't bear to part with you." Lu Shuisheng finally couldn't hold back her tears, her thin and delicate body swaying, making her look pitiful.
She suddenly opened her arms and pounced on him, a resolute look appearing on her pretty face.
Lin Fan shook his head, pressed her pressure point to put her to sleep, and then pried open her hand to take a look. Good heavens, it was a bottle of sleeping potion!
What was she planning to do? To make things easier by drugging herself?
"Host target, do you want to use Hehuan Powder?" the system suddenly popped up again.
"Get lost!" Lin Fan's face turned red. This damn system was trying to give him aphrodisiacs every day, treating him like a stud!
"Host, please don't be angry. I just wanted to lighten the mood," the system replied playfully.
He tossed Lu Shuisheng onto the bed, roughly covered her with a blanket, and left the room. He turned his head slightly and saw Su Youxue holding Xiaobai, her head down, her eyes filled with tears, and she was sobbing softly.
She had been there for a while and had overheard their conversation, feeling a suffocating pain.
"Senior Brother, are you really not going to let us go?" She looked up, her cheeks streaked with tears.
"Yesterday is gone, and the future is uncertain. We must focus on the present and strive for the future," Lin Fan said.
He waved his hand and then walked away, remaining unmoved no matter what Su Youxue said.
"Host, aren't you being a little too cruel?" the system said.
"If you can win over the female lead, the Chosen One's luck will be reversed, and you will have a chance to defeat the Chosen One in the future."
"Then let me ask you one more question, did they reincarnate?" Lin Fan said.
The system remained silent.
"Why should I, who treated me so badly in my past life, be expected to forgive and forget and please them after being reborn because of the Chosen One who destroyed the world?"
"Just like on Earth, if someone gets bored, gets abandoned, or gets hurt, and then turns around and says they love me, am I supposed to satisfy them?"
"What do you take me for? A dog to be ordered around, or a backup to provide them with emotional value? Since they chose the arrogant protagonist in their past lives, whether they want to tear the scumbag apart or torture him in this life, they shouldn't use their humble feelings to blackmail me."
The system was rendered speechless by the rebuttal; it was merely an emotionless tool that only knew how to follow the program.
He was not a saint; he had his own pride.
He didn't choose to retaliate against them, which he considered to be very magnanimous. He couldn't bring himself to back down any further.
"Host, think about it from a different perspective. Take them all into your harem, make them have lots of babies, exhaust them to death, and you'll get your revenge!" the system continued.
"Get lost, you female-oriented system, I really suspect you're a traitor sent by the other side!" Lin Fan said irritably.
No matter how love-obsessed his female classmates were, it didn't matter much to him.
As Su Youxue watched her senior brother's figure gradually disappear, she clenched her fists and said coldly, "Long Aotian, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended up like this with our senior brother. Since you like Qingxiao Sect so much, you might as well be buried here."
Her gaze was somewhat cold, and her eyes flashed with madness.
Lin Fan walked to the sect's dining hall, ordered a few dishes at random, but didn't have much of an appetite and couldn't help but sigh.
He suspected that the female junior sisters had arranged this meeting in advance, and what was even more outrageous was that Lu Shuisheng had even prepared sleeping pills.
"Senior Brother Lin, why are you sighing all by yourself here?"
Just then, a soft, feminine voice sounded in his ear. Noticing someone sitting opposite him, he curiously raised his eyelids.
A man with a smile on his face, his eyes sparkling and slightly shadowed, looked at Lin Fan with a smile that didn't reveal his teeth.
"Holy crap, isn't this Long Aotian's number three lackey, Qifeng's chief Lin Yuetian?" Lin Fan muttered to himself.
I already had no appetite, and now I feel nauseous.
Look at Lin Yuetian: fair skin, effeminate appearance, greasy hair, smoky eyeshadow, bitten lip makeup, and a soft, feminine gaze; she has no masculine charm whatsoever.
What a waste of such a handsome face! He turned out to be a sissy. The worst part is that in his past life, he was clearly the chief, but he was Long Aotian's lackey, serving the chosen one of destiny like a servant. It's really speechless how he behaved like that.
"Junior Sister Lin...Junior Brother, what brings you to me?"
Lin Fan didn't greet him warmly. What kind of messed-up plot was this? Did Long Aotian stop collecting female harems and start collecting male harems instead?
Seeing Lin Yuetian appear early, I knew this sissy would have a lot of screen time, and then he would mindlessly target me—it's all the old tropes from novels.
"Of course I'm here to congratulate Senior Brother Lin!" Lin Yuetian said with a sinister smile.
"What joy is there?" Lin Fan's expression turned serious, his gaze turning sinister. Sure enough, he was looking for trouble!
"Senior Brother Lin's reputation is growing, and he will surely become the future leader of the Qingxiao Sect, so I've come to offer my congratulations in advance!" Lin Yuetian said sarcastically.
