Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as the girl in red was making a secret decision in her heart.
A familiar voice echoed ahead through the dark mountain path:
"Old Shi, who do you think I should choose as my mentor for tomorrow?"
A handsome young man in black attire was talking, seemingly to the ring on his hand.
"It's Ye Chen!"
"Based on the description in the script, it must be him!"
Guo Yourong clenched her teeth, a cold light seeping out from her beautiful eyes, like a relentless blade thirsty for blood!
"Die!"
Guo Yourong summoned her inner strength, ready to call up her Lifebound Sword and strike—
Just then, she sensed something!
In the bushes roughly ten feet away from her, another woman was hiding!
At that exact moment.
The other woman noticed her too!
As it turned out, both of them had been suppressing their aura, and neither had noticed the other until now!
Only at this moment, as both drawn their energy and prepared to move, did they reveal their positions!
In an instant, both of them locked eyes from afar, creating an awkward standoff!
"Second Junior Sister?"
"Third Junior Sister?"
Upon recognizing each other, astonishment spread across the faces of these two sister disciples from the Divine Phoenix Peak of Qinglan Sect.
"Who's there!?"
Ye Chen, having sensed something, called out to the surrounding darkness.
"No good! Although I'm not sure why Third Junior Sister would be here, according to the script, she is so enamored with Ye Chen that she might have been led here by fate to rescue him!"
"Well, it seems Ye Chen will be spared tonight! Once he joins the sect, there will be plenty of opportunities to kill him!"
After weighing her options, Guo Yourong chose to conceal her presence again and retreated for the time being.
On the other side, Chu Youwei, carrying her Thousand Feathered Zither, had similar intentions!
"So the Second Senior Sister is here at this time... So the script really is accurate... She truly is Ye Chen's guardian angel..."
"Never mind, I'll let it slide for tonight!"
"Dear Senior Sister, if there is a next time, don't blame my harsh zither notes. After all, this is all..."
"All for Eldest Senior Brother."
Chu Youwei's angelic face took on a cold aura, making her look particularly eerie under the moonlight, reminiscent of a Dementor!
After Ye Chen left.
The two of them, without acknowledging each other, each deployed their unique movement techniques and melted into the night.
.....
Qinglan Sect, Divine Phoenix Peak.
The dormitory for senior disciples.
Lin Xiao was lying in bed, unable to sleep!
"It's all messed up!"
"The established character settings have totally collapsed!"
"According to the original plot, Third Junior Sister was just wary of me as the Eldest Senior Brother, but she never truly loathed me. I can still understand it even though her attitude towards me changed!"
"But what is going on with Fourth Junior Sister Lu Yingying? She is the first leading female character that Ye Chen met in the Qinglan Sect arc!"
Touched by the memory of their hug, Lin Xiao felt a chill running down his spine!
"Could it be because... the original author got someone to ghostwrite latter parts of the story, and they throttled the entire story, causing the characters of Ye Chen and the Junior Sister to collapse?"
"No, that's not right! Even if it were the case, at least in the early and middle parts of the story, everything is going according to the plot!"
The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more confused he became.
"What a vexing situation!"
"Alright, let's continue following the plot."
"Because I have seen my beloved Third Junior Sister with Ye Chen, I harbor feelings of jealousy."
"Next, I am supposed to go to the Pill Workshop and 'inconspicuously' steal a poisonous 'Seven Absolute Pill'. Then, Guo Yourong, my Second Junior Sister, supposedly catches me in the act, setting the stage for her to reveal my plot at the enrollment ceremony, leading to my first public humiliation!"
"Junior Sister Yurong, as things stand now, both Third Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Sister are unreliable. Tomorrow, you'd better be ready to slap my face harshly!"
Lin Xiao silently prayer in his heart.
He was about to leave for the Pill Workshop.
Outside came the voice of his Junior Brother Huaizhen, "Eldest Senior Brother, Master has come out of seclusion. She asked you to meet her at Fairy Cliff!"
"What the hell?"
"According to the plot, isn't the glamorous Master supposed to come out of seclusion tomorrow? How come she has emerged earlier?"
"And... what could she possibly want with me in the middle of the night at Fairy Cliff?"
"Could it be that... she discovered my plans to steal the socks beforehand?"
"But if that's the case, how is Ye Chen supposed to reveal my plot tomorrow, leading to a double humiliation?"
At this moment, Lin Xiao was utterly flabbergasted.
The plot had become increasingly absurd!
After weighing up his options.
Lin Xiao decided that before meeting his glamorous Master, he would first go to the Pill Workshop and steal the Seven Absolute Pill!
Yes! No one knows what intentions the number one fairy of the Cultivation World harbored for asking to meet him in the middle of the night!
It was a part of the story that wasn't in the script!
The character settings for a few of his fellow Junior Sisters were already off. He neither wanted nor allowed for anything else to go wrong in tomorrow's integral plot!
.....
.....
Qinglan Sect, Divine Phoenix Peak, Elixir Refinery.
"Hello, Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Nice to see you, Eldest Senior Brother!"
"We are eager to listen to your guidance, Eldest Senior Brother!"
.....
However, as soon as Lin Xiao took off on his sword to the Alchemy Tower, a few inner sect disciples who were guarding the furnace came forward to respectfully salute him.
"Stay sharp, all of you! There's limitless knowledge to be savored, the Dao of alchemy is infinite, we should leave no stone unturned in pursuing it, got that?"
Lin Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, nose pointing to the sky, doing his best to act the villain!
"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!"
The disciples all nodded in agreement.
Ding!
"You have successfully returned to your original character setting! Random critical reward triggered: Alchemy +99! [Your alchemy skill level has been upgraded to: Fifth Grade!]"
The moment he stepped into the first floor of the Alchemy Tower, he heard the system's notification in his mind.
"Damn, that works too?"
Lin Xiao's eye twitched slightly.
If it had been those qualifications and comprehension rewards triggered before, he would not have bat an eyelid.
But the reward this time is mind-blowingly good!
What's the big deal about a fifth-grade alchemist?
According to the original setting of the story.
The Qinglan Sect is indeed the premier Daoist sect in the Eastern Region of the Divine Continent, but it is primarily known for its Sword Dao. Its alchemy skills only barely meet the average standard in the Cultivation World.
Within the entire sect, you could count the alchemists of the sixth grade or higher on one hand!
And it's precisely because of these settings.
The protagonist, Ye Chen, under the guidance of the mysterious alchemist grandpa in his ring, made swift progress in the Dao of Alchemy, continuously shocking his entire sect.
Even that beautiful and indifferent Master of his began to see him differently!
But even so!
Even Ye Chen, the cheat character, only reached the fifth-grade alchemy level after completing this big map of the Qinglan Sect!
And now, with a daily act of ass-kissing, he jumped straight into the fifth-grade alchemy level from scratch!
"Please, no more rewards!"
"If this continues, I, the crappy villain, could overthrow Ye Chen and become the main character myself!"
"Huh? That doesn't sound bad either?"
An almost insane idea flashed across Lin Xiao's mind.
"Pah!"
"Damn it, I just want to complete the plot, ascend, and return to the real world, to reunite with my family!"
Lin Xiao quickly interrupted his wild imagination and walked into the Alchemy Tower.
At this time, the single Alchemy Elder of the Divine Phoenix Peak had gone to the Lingzhi Garden halfway up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs.
According to the original plot, he would be able to get the Seven Absolute Pill, used to poison Ye Chen, just by showing up at the second floor of the Alchemy Tower, as the Eldest Senior Brother.
But before that...
"One step."
"Two steps."
"Three steps."
.....
"Ten steps!"
Lin Xiao walked ten steps into the tower, as described in the original plot and stood still at the turn in the Alchemy Tower!
Yes, he's waiting for the appearance of that woman....
Tomorrow, she will help Ye Chen expose him for poisoning. It's his Second Junior Sister!
She's the only eyewitness!
"Eldest Senior Brother~~"
A gentle voice sounded from behind.
"She's here! She's here!"
Lin Xiao turned around excitedly.
As expected, he saw a tall and proud woman in a red skirt, absolutely radiating an older sister vibe.
It was his Second Junior Sister, Guo Yourong!
But... it seemed a bit different from the original plot?
Why is the look she's giving me a bit... warm?
Shouldn't she be keeping a wary eye on me, thinking I might steal some aphrodisiac to sabotage our little Junior Sister later?
Lin Xiao's eyelid twitched again.
However, adhering to the villain's self-cultivation!
He still managed to squeeze out a lewd smile, checking out his Second Junior Sister's figure up and down, "Little Yourong, do you know? Every time I see you, I can't help but think of a proverb~~"
"Oh? What's that?"
Guo Yourong strutted towards him with her long legs.
"Haina Baichuan, greatness lies in tolerance."
Lin Xiao could only recite his original lines.
"Ah ..."
Guo Yourong seemed taken aback at first, then her face flushed as if she had remembered something:
"Eldest Senior Brother ... do you really think so? So how does Yourong compare with the other two Junior Sisters?"
After a long silence, she muttered these words in a shy manner!
"No! Her reaction ... something's off!"
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, his body trembling!
In the original story, after Lin Xiao said that, it annoyed his Second Junior Sister and made her despise him even more.
This also set the stage for her to expose him the next day!
Not at all like the tender and gentle demeanor she's showing now.
"Senior Brother, is this question difficult to answer?"
"Or the Photo Stone you secretly installed did not capture a vivid enough image?"
Guo Yourong lowered his head even further, her normally indifferent demeanor had now been replaced with a red-faced, shy one!
Damn!
This time it's really over, everyone's blown away!
Lin Xiao despairingly gritted his teeth in his heart.
