Just as the girl in red had made up her mind.
A familiar voice sounded from the dark mountain path ahead.
“Elder Stone, which master do you think I should choose tomorrow?”
A handsome young man clad in black was talking to the ring on his finger.
“It’s Ye Chen!”
“According to the physical description from the script, this must be him!”
Guo Yourong gritted her teeth. A cold glint seeped through her lovely eyes, like a sharp blade hungry for blood.
“Go to hell!”
With a spur of the mind, Guo Yourong made a firm decision. She circulated her true essence, summoned her Intrinsic Sword, and was about to attack when—
At this moment, she suddenly sensed something!
Another woman was hiding in the grass less than 100 feet away from her!
And at this moment.
The woman happened to notice her too!
It turned out that the two of them had been suppressing their auras all the while and hence did not notice each other!
It was only at this moment, when they activated their True Qi and were about to attack, that their locations were exposed!
The two of them stared at each other from afar, the awkward tension filling the air!
“Second Senior Sister?”
“Third Junior Sister?”
After recognizing each other’s faces, the pair of fairy sisters from the Divine Phoenix Peak widened their eyes in shock!
“Who!?”
Ye Chen, also sensing something, shouted and looked around.
“No way! Although I’m not sure why Third Junior Sister is here, she’s so infatuated with Ye Chen in the script. Perhaps the heavens led her here to save him!”
“Forget it, Ye Chen won’t die tonight! There will be plenty of opportunities to kill him once he enters the sect!”
Guo Yourong weighed her options, soon concealing her aura once again and choosing to retreat temporarily.
On the other side, Chu Youwei, who was carrying the Thousand Plume Zither, also had the same plan!
“Second Senior Sister actually appeared in this timeline. Looks like the script is true… She’s indeed Ye Chen’s Dao Guardian Fairy…”
“Forget it, let’s forget about it tonight!”
“Senior Sister, if there’s a next time, don’t blame Weiwei for being heartless. After all, all of this…”
“It’s all for Eldest Senior Brother.”
Chu Youwei’s innocent angel face emitted a cold aura. Under the moonlight, she looked especially sinister, like an Asura Witch!
After Ye Chen left.
The two of them, thinking that they had a tacit understanding of what was going on, did not acknowledge each other. Instead, with the help of their techniques, they disappeared into the night.
….
Azure Mist Sect, Divine Phoenix Peak.
At the senior disciples’ dormitory.
Lin Xiao was lying in bed, he was unable to sleep!
“It’s ruined!”
“Their characters are completely ruined!”
“According to the original novel, although Third Junior Sister is wary of me, she has never really hated me. Therefore, I can still scarcely understand her change in attitude towards me!”
“But what’s going on with Fourth Junior Sister Lu Yingying? She’s the first female lead that Ye Chen meets in the Azure Mist Sect!”
He then recalled the hug just now.
Lin Xiao felt a chill in his heart!
“Could it be that… the ghostwriter the original author had found during the later parts of the story blindly wrote nonsense, ruining the characters of Ye Chen and his junior sisters?”
“That’s not right. Even so, at least towards the middle of the story, my storyline has been normal!”
The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more puzzled he got.
He couldn’t wrap his head around it, no matter how much he thought about it.
“Forget it, forget it. Let’s continue following the plot.”
“Because I witnessed my beloved junior sister walking with Ye Chen, I am jealous.”
“Next, I should go to the pill shop and steal a highly toxic “Seven Ultimate Pill.” Then, unfortunately, Second Junior Sister Guo Yourong will see it and will have something planned. During the disciple recruitment ceremony, she will jump out to help Ye Chen expose me, putting me through the first, out of many others, the moment of humiliation!”
“Junior Sister Yourong, Third Junior Sister, and Fourth Junior Sister can’t be relied upon anymore. You have to stand the f*ck up! Slap Senior Brother in the face as ruthlessly as you can tomorrow!”
Lin Xiao prayed silently.
He was about to get up and head for the pill shop.
Junior Brother Huai Zhen’s voice sounded from outside yet again. “Eldest Senior Brother, Master has come out of seclusion. She wants you to go to the Goddess Cliff to see her!”
“What the hell?”
“According to the plot of the book, isn’t the beautiful master only coming out of seclusion tomorrow? Why is it brought forward?”
“And… why did she ask me to go to Goddess Cliff in the middle of the night?”
“Could she have found out about the theft of the stockings in advance?”
“But in that case, how can I let Ye Chen expose me tomorrow and complete a double slap on my face?”
At this moment, Lin Xiao froze in fear.
This dogsh*t plot was getting more and more ridiculous!
After some weighing,
Lin Xiao decided to go to the pill store to steal the Seven Ultimate Pill before meeting his beautiful master!
Yes, who knew what this number one fairy of the cultivation world was up to?
This was not included anywhere in the plot!
There was already something wrong with his junior sisters’ characterization. He did not want, nor will he allow, anything more to go wrong with tomorrow’s plot!
…
…
Azure Mist Sect, Divine Phoenix Peak, Alchemy Workshop.
“Hello, Eldest Senior Brother!”
“Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother!”
“Obey the Eldest Senior Brother’s teachings!”
…..
As soon as Lin Xiao flew to the Alchemy Tower on his sword, a few inner sect disciples who were guarding the furnace went forward and bowed respectfully.
“Everyone, raise your spirits! The sea of knowledge is boundless, and the Dao of alchemy is infinite. We have to search for it from top to bottom before we can learn to peer into the heavens, understand?”
Lin Xiao placed his hands behind his back and raised his nose to the sky, putting on the airs of a villain!
“Yes! Eldest Senior Brother!”
The disciples nodded.
Ding!
“You have successfully restored your character! You have randomly triggered a critical hit reward: Alchemy +99! [Your alchemy skills have been upgraded to Level Five!]”
The moment he stepped into the first floor of the Pill Tower, a system notification sounded in his mind.
“Damn, that works?”
Lin Xiao’s eyes twitched.
If it were the aptitude and comprehension rewards that he had been given before, he would not feel much difference.
But the reward this time was amazing!
How strong was a fifth-grade alchemist?
According to the original story.
Although the Azure Mist Sect was a first-rate Daoist sect in the Eastern Region of the Divine Continent, it was still most famous for its swordsmanship. Its alchemy skills could barely be considered average in the cultivation world.
In the entire mountain, there were only a handful of alchemists who were sixth-grade and above!
And because of that.
The protagonist, Ye Chen, could advance by leaps and bounds under the nurture of that mysterious alchemist in the ring, constantly shocking the entire sect.
Even his beautiful master, who was as cool as snow, was moved by him!
‘But!’
Even Ye Chen, this cheater, only reached the fifth-grade alchemy after farming the entire Azure Mist Sect!
Meanwhile, he had been doing nothing but putting on the most pretentious front every day, from day one till he entered the fifth-grade realm!
“Please, no more rewards!”
“If this continues, even a scumbag villain like me will be able to get rid of Ye Chen and become the male lead!”
“Huh? This doesn’t seem like an impossible option?”
An almost crazy thought flashed across Lin Xiao’s mind.
“Bah!”
“I really just want to finish the story and ascend back to the real world to reunite with my family!”
Lin Xiao hurriedly snapped out of his thoughts as he walked into the Pill Tower.
At this moment, the only alchemy elder of the Divine Phoenix Peak was at the Lingzhi Garden, which was halfway up the mountain, gathering herbs.
According to the original plot, as long as he entered the second level of the Pill Tower openly as the Eldest Senior Brother, he would be able to obtain the Seven Ultimate Pill to poison Ye Chen!
But before that…
“One step.”
“Two steps.”
“Three steps.”
…
“Ten steps!”
Lin Xiao, following the original story, took ten steps inside, stopping at the corner of the first floor of the Pill Tower!
Yes, he was waiting for a certain hot woman to show up…
She was none other than his Second Junior Sister, who would be helping Ye Chen to expose him tomorrow!
‘She was the only eyewitness!’
“Eldest Senior Brother ~”
A soft voice came from behind him.
“She’s here! She’s here!”
Lin Xiao turned around in surprise.
As expected, he saw a tall, proud woman in a red dress, her mature charm at its peak.
It was his second junior sister, Guo Yourong!
However… She seemed a little different from what was depicted in the original story?
Why was this girl looking at me with such… tenderness?
Shouldn’t she look vigilant, afraid that I would steal some aphrodisiac and use it to harm the other Junior Sisters?
Lin Xiao’s eyelids started twitching again.
Nevertheless, he still stayed faithful to how a villain should conduct himself!
He still tried his best to squeeze out a wretched smile, sizing up his Second Junior Sister’s figure. “Xiaorong, do you know that every time I see you, I think of a saying ~”
“Yes? What is it?”
Guo Yourong strode over with her slender long legs.
“The sea holds all rivers, and there is room for all.”
Lin Xiao had no choice but to read the original lines.
“Ah…”
Guo Yourong was stunned. Then, she thought of something and blushed.
“Eldest Senior Brother… Do you really think so? How does Xiaorong compare to the other two junior sisters?”
After a moment of silence, with a face flushed with shyness, she actually spat out those words!
“No! Her response… Something’s wrong!”
Lin Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, and his body trembled!
In the original plot, after Lin Xiao’s words infuriated his Second Junior Sister, she hated him even more after that.
This also laid the groundwork for tomorrow’s exposé!
How did her response become this gentle, like still waters?
“Senior Brother, is this such a difficult question to answer?”
“Could it be that the Photostone Senior Brother had secretly installed wasn’t clear enough?”
Guo Yourong lowered her head even more. She, who was usually as cold as snow, looked bashful as she pursed her red lips ever so slightly.
Oh no!
He was dead meat. Everyone was wiped out!
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth in despair.
