Chapter 2: The Clown
The injured Xiao Liyue had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way. She recalled the past and felt that her life experience was quite similar to that of the original owner, who also had only a father but no mother.
Although she has a mother, it is no different from having no mother. Her mother divorced her father not long after giving birth to her. The reason was that her father was unable to be with her mother every time she needed him because of his work.
So her mother couldn't accept this kind of life and resolutely chose to leave them, father and daughter.
For this reason, she was raised by the wives of soldiers in the relatives' home since she was a child. Growing up in a military camp, she had more contact with the soldiers in the camp, and her personality became carefree, just like a boy.
Her father trained her physical fitness even better than boys since she was young. When she was eighteen years old, she was admitted to the special forces with excellent grades.
During her eight years in the army, her unit won various honors, but even though she became increasingly powerful, she still could not rescue her father from the enemy a year ago.
Like her father, she has contributed a lot to the country. She has no regrets in her heart because this is their mission. She just regrets that she is not strong enough, so she can only watch her father die in front of her.
After her father died, she hated herself for being incompetent and not strong enough, which was why God took the person she loved most away from her.
On the day her father died, Xiao Liyue fainted due to excessive grief. After being rescued, she learned from the doctor that there was something wrong with her heart.
The doctor advised her not to be too angry or sad in the future, and not to do strenuous exercise. She had no choice but to choose to retire from the army.
During this year, she stayed in her room every day like a little waste, passing the time by reading various novels and playing games, so that she could forget her father's death.
Now that she has transformed into Xiao Liyue in the book, she has gradually let it go, thinking that her father may be living happily in another world.
My father once said that if something happened to him one day, he hoped she would not be sad and should live bravely, because this was his mission as a soldier and it was his rightful destination and honor.
So at this moment, Xiao Liyue decided to live well in this world of immortal cultivation and not be decadent anymore. She wanted to become a real strong person in this world, no longer disappoint her father's high hopes, and never leave her fate in the hands of others.
Thinking of this, a powerful spiritual energy surged out of Xiao Liyue's body, and a dazzling light emanated from her whole body.
After a while, the wound on her abdomen was completely healed, which surprised her.
"What was that light just now? Why do I feel like my body has become lighter?"
She couldn't figure it out for the moment and was too lazy to think about it anymore.
Xiao Liyue didn't know that she had just had an epiphany. For a cultivator, it was an opportunity that could only be encountered by chance, and many cultivators might not even have an epiphany in their entire lives.
As they flew along, Xiao Liyue looked at the clouds floating in the mountains below, which was like a fairyland and fascinating. The memories of the original owner in her mind were slowly recovering, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Mu Ling'er, Liu Ruxi, Mo Jingxuan, I want to see if you can still thrive without a female villain like me as your cannon fodder and stepping stone. Let's wait and see!"
Xiao Liyue looked at the Xianling Sect standing on the top of the mountain not far away. It was magnificent and solemn, exuding an ancient atmosphere.
As we got closer, we saw two towering stone pillars in front of the gate of the Xianling Sect. One of them was engraved with the three big characters "Xianling Sect", and the other was covered with dense sect rules.
This is the sect of cultivating immortals, and it is indeed as magnificent as described in the book.
Xiao Liyue slowly landed in front of the sect gate. The spirit sword circled around her body for a circle before shrinking again and being inserted into the scabbard at her waist. She then strode into the sect gate with heroic steps.
At this time, when the disciples in the sect saw Xiao Liyue coming back, they all made way for her. You know, there was a disciple at the ninth level of Qi training who blocked her way. At that time, he was severely punished by Xiao Liyue and was almost crippled by her. It can be seen that she was very vicious.
Although Xiao Liyue was punished by the sect leader for this matter, the sect leader was her father. Even though her cultivation and character were not very good, no one in the sect dared to say bad things about her.
As a former reader, she naturally knew the truth about the beating incident. The original owner beat the man because the man deliberately rubbed her body with his hands, so she became furious and taught the man a lesson for flirting with her.
Since the original owner attached great importance to her reputation, she naturally could not tell outsiders about such things, so she was misunderstood by people in the sect. She was too proud to explain, which gradually led to the ruin of her reputation.
At this time, a young man said disdainfully: "Why should we give in to her? Even if she is the daughter of the sect leader, she cannot hurt fellow disciples at will! This is the sect rule!"
The man next to him was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth and said, "Shh... keep your voice down, do you still want to stay in the sect?"
Seeing that the man was so bold, people nearby started discussing it.
A female disciple covered her mouth and laughed, "Haha... this person is really brave. If he offends Xiao Liyue, he will have a hard time in the future."
Another female disciple said as if it had nothing to do with her: "Of course I have offended him, but what he said is not wrong. Private fighting is prohibited in the sect."
"That's right. Even if she is the daughter of the sect leader, she can't do whatever she wants." Another male disciple said with a disdainful expression.
Seeing this, the other disciples all acted as if they were enjoying a good show.
After all, how could someone as proud as Xiao Liyue tolerate others talking about her like that? She would definitely be angry and embarrassed.
As a result, Xiao Liyue walked towards the man nonchalantly, looking at him with narrowed eyes. "What's the point of gossiping behind people's backs? How about we have a fight?"
The man's face changed drastically. He was only at the eighth level of Qi training. How could he possibly beat her who was at the early stage of foundation building? Even if she had broken through with the help of elixirs, the gap between Qi training stage and foundation building stage was not small.
Seeing how timid he was, Xiao Liyue laughed and said, "He's just a coward and a clown, but he really takes himself seriously."
The man's face flushed red, and he glared at her with gritted teeth: "Xiao Liyue, don't go too far with your words. You originally had a useless spiritual root, and your innate spiritual power is only ten points. You are just a little luckier than me. You have a father who is the head of the sect, so you can have your current cultivation. Why are you so arrogant?"
Xiao Liyue was not angry at all when she heard this. Instead, she smiled and said, "Haha... I have the capital to be arrogant, but what do you have? Do you have the ability to make your father as strong as my father? A grown man knows how to complain with his mouth. If you don't accept it, just fight!"
"You...you should go too far." the man roared.
"So what if I bully you? I just like to admire your angry look when you can't stand me but can't get rid of me, you little scum..."
The man was so angry that he was shaking all over.
Xiao Liyue looked at him with disgust and shook her head.
"Tsk tsk...rubbish...nothing!"
After she finished speaking, she left in a cool manner, which made the man so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
After seeing Xiao Liyue today, all the disciples in the sect refreshed their views of her and secretly made up their minds that they must stay away from her when they see her in the future.
After all, you can't afford to offend and you can't argue with him, so you can only hide to avoid getting into trouble.
In the corner of the Xianling Sect's gate, a thin and mysterious figure saw this scene with confusion and puzzlement in his eyes.
Xiao Liyue suddenly felt someone looking at her from behind. She turned around and saw that there was no one at the gate. She frowned and said, "Could it be that my perception was wrong? I clearly felt someone was peeking at me from behind just now."
She then shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
The mysterious figure who had just peeked at her had already left quietly. Before leaving, he muttered, "Xiao Liyue...what on earth are you playing at?"
Afterwards, Xiao Liyue followed the route in the original owner's memory, humming a little tune and strolling on the road leading to the Fairy Palace.
When she arrived at the door of the hall, Xiao Liyue heard a stern and majestic voice coming from the hall from afar.
"Why don't you get in here!"
The person who spoke was the original owner's biological father, Xiao Lintian, the leader of the Xianling Sect and a powerful man in the late stage of tribulation.
What Xiao Liyue didn't expect was that the sect leader's voice was exactly the same as her father's, and the sect leader's tone of voice was the same as when her father taught her a lesson in the past.
As a conditioned reflex, she lowered her head and walked in obediently.
When Xiao Lintian saw Xiao Liyue's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but feel distressed, but for the sake of face, he still pretended to be very angry and spoke.
"You have been given so many magical weapons to protect yourself, yet you still behave like this. You really bring shame to me. You quarrel with other disciples as soon as you return to the sect. How disgraceful! Can't you just keep quiet for a while?"
Hearing Xiao Lintian's familiar scolding, Xiao Liyue couldn't help but look up at him, but when she saw Xiao Lintian's face, she froze in place for a moment.
