CH 49.2

It was difficult for a ten-year-old child to survive, without any food or water, after being thrown directly into a snowfield for three days and three nights, and having to fight against the snow wolves native to this snowfield.

If it weren’t for Chi Jianxue’s high talent, letting him already reach the level of a third grade expert at a young age, he wouldn’t be able to survive at all.

Even so, in the original story, he fainted directly and inside the gate of the Sacred Burning Flame sect. He had almost burned into a fool from fever, but was mercilessly whipped out of bed by Chi Wanwan .

Every time Chi Wanwan punished Jianxue, she scolded him for being useless, or blamed Chu Tiannan for all his mistakes.

After years of brainwashing, Chi Jianxue’s mentality gradually distorted. For him, all the pain he suffered was because of Chu Tiannan. If the other party had not abandoned his wife and son, he would have a happy home.

Ten years later, with such hatred, he entered the Jianghu and tried to implement his revenge plan. But because of an accident, he met the new generation of Xuanyue Sect’s saint, Yi Tinglan, who is Rong Qingyue’s disciple.

Chi Jianxue soon fell in love with her.

For this reason, he repeatedly disobeyed Chi Wanwan and informed Yi Tinglan at critical moments, even delaying the plans of the Devil school and was severely punished several times.

Between the biological mother who abused him since childhood and his sweetheart, Chi Jianxue chose to sweetheart. Under Yi Tinglan’s persuasion, he “reformed from evil and returned to righteousness”, betrayed the Sacred Burning Flame sect at the critical moment in the battle between the righteous and devil paths, and even endured his hatred to recognize Chu Tiannan as his father.

Unfortunately, Chi Jianxue is not the hero who is favoured by heaven. He is just a little villain, everything he did was doomed to be in vain.

The saint of the Xuanyue sect will only set her sights on the strongest among their generation. Chi Jianxue was momentarily that person, but soon he wasn’t.

When the real protagonist in the plot, a mountain boy who started his adventure’s reputation rose rapidly and began to shine, Yi Tinglan’s gaze quickly moved away from Chi Jianxue and shifted to the other party.

In just a few years, the real protagonist has become a famous master in the Jianghu from a penniless young man in the mountains, and has won the love of the righteous path saint.

As fo rChi Jianxue, as a villain who is always unwilling to give up on the heroine, his fate will naturally not be good.

He gave up everything for Yi Tinglan, but after the Sacred Burning Flame sect fell, he lost everything completely.

Her husband and son fell in love with the saint of Xuanyue Sect one after another, and the Sacred Burning Flame sect was destroyed. Chi Wanwan fell into madness and died together with Rong Qingyue. Chu Tiannan hid overseas because of guilt.

Chi Jianxue came to his senses and wanted revenge, but was mercilessly killed by the protagonist Fang Yunxiao.5 

At the end of the fate plot, naturally, Fang Yunxiao, who was the son of fate, led the righteous path to level the Devil school and became the strongest in the new generation. Since then, his reputation has been increased, the beauty is in his arms as the saint of the righteous path gave him her heart. People all over the world praised him, he had reached the pinnacle of his life, with infinite scenery.

After reading the fate plot transmitted by system 999, Yuan Buwei’s first reaction was: “How can this protagonist be more stupid than the first two?”

In the first two worlds, the protagonist in the original plot somehow got the greatest benefit. One holds real power, reigns over the world, and the other gains both fame and wealth, standing at the top of the entertainment circle.

This one was taken advantage of to solve the biggest enemy, and only received a righteous saint as well as a few free words of praise for his efforts.

Yuan Buwei guessed correctly

In the end, what Fang Yunxiao gained was nothing more than a false title. In fact, the whole Jianghu is completely under the control of orthodox sects such as Xuanyue Sect.

If one day he does something that does not align with the interests of these people, the so-called “Strongest person in the world” can be quickly labled with “fallen into the devil’s school”, “degenerated, and so on.

A cold wind blew over the snowfield.

Yuan Buwei shivered suddenly, withdrew from the plot, looked down at his little arms and legs and couldn’t help shaking his head, saying to himself: “What’s the point in worrying about the protagonist who may be somewhere chopping wood now? It seems that I’m the one who needs rescuing now.”

The surrounding snowfields seem to stretch endlessly. When looking into the distance, several towering peaks can be seen from afar, which are the gates of the Sacred Burning Flame sect.

The Sacred Burning Flame sect is located in an extremely cold area in the north. It is surrounded by ice and snow, with a sparse population. Yuan Wuwei roughly estimated the distance, along with the current body’s health, qing gong skill6 and the total amount of qi available, it would take at least two hours to get back to the Burning Flame Holy Sect smoothly.

After reaching such a conclusion, he couldn’t help but stop and turn around.

System 999 wondered: Host, do you want to leave the Sacred Burning Flame sect with your current physical strength? I’m afraid you can’t get out of the range of the Sacred Burning Flame sect, and someone is watching the way out.

“Whether to leave or not depends on them.” Yuan Buwei replied casually in his consciousness, “Now, I’m hungry.”

Then he looked up and said, “Are you here to take me back?”

There was a vast expansion of whiteness all around. The place he looked at was clearly empty, but Yuan Buwei’s expression was so determined, as if there was really a person standing there.

No one answered.

When the strong wind blew, the boy’s young and beautiful face was completely bloodless, and was rubbed by the cold wind. His clear black and white eyes stared at the place for a moment: “Don’t hide, Dharma protector.”

The flying snow seems to be suddenly driven away by a gust of wind, and a vague figure really appears in the empty space. He seems to emerge from nothing, as if he had always been standing in the snow, only now showing his sense of existence.

The figure of the man was outlined by the flying snow. His body was thin and long, his face was ordinary, and his whole person seemed ordinary.

It’s easy to hide in the night, but it’s more than ten times more difficult to do the same thing in the snow. This skill in tracking and hiding is enough to rank among the top assassins in the Jianghu.

Yuan Buwei knew that he was not really invisible. This is a concealment and stealth method of the Sacred Burning Flame sect. It relies on the principle of the double force field formed by the true qi and spirit deceiving other people’s perception and hides all the qi in the body, so that one can completely disappear from the perceptions of others.

But this could not be concealed from Yuan Buwei.

An Yan showed his figure, snowflakes are kept away by his qi. He looks down at the young sect leader who has never entered his eyes with a little surprise:

“Dare to ask the young sect leader, where did I show my flaws?”

This was the first time that he was found by the other. In the past, the young sect leader was never aware of his existence. Is it because his skills have declined or has the young sect leader improved?

Yuan Buwei shook his head: “dharma protector An’s illusory art is only a thin line from perfection, at least it has deceived my eyes and ears.”

An Yan is even more puzzled.

“It’s a pity that it couldn’t hide from my nose.”

After his words fell Yuan Buwei stepped close to him. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he smiled and said, “Sweet scented osmanthus cake, lotus cake, red bean cake, peach blossom flavoured Fenyang wine over ten years old, you went to Tianxiang Pavilion 20 miles away.”

“Cough, cough, cough” An Yan coughed crazily.

If he lets the young leader continue to talk, he will be exposed. The most important thing is that if the right dharma guardian found out he went to drink wine during his watch, that guy who didn’t like him would send him to the Law Enforcement Palace for punishment.

Yuan Buwei raised his eyes to look at him: “Oh, I was wrong. Dharma protector An has been following me faithfully. Now, you should also be here to take me back.”

He repeated what he said at the beginning.

An Yan laughed awkwardly: “According to the order of the sect leader, the young sect leader has to return to the sects gate by himself.”

“Are the girls in Tianxiang Pavilion good-looking?”

“Of course, they are heavenly beauties.” An Yanquickly changed his words within blinking “Everyone in the sect knows that this protector never goes to Tianxiang Pavilion. I don’t know if the girls in Tianxiang Pavilion are good-looking or not. I have been following the young sect leader faithfully, I watched the young sect leader walk back to the sect gates by himself.” 

After saying this, An Yan dutifully fulfilled his obligations as a tool man, raised his hand and grasped the shoulder of Yuan Buwei. Gently tapped his toes in the snow, and flew up in the air. After several ups and downs, he arrived at the distant mountain.

He breathed deeply, and his qi automatically blocked the wind and snow. Yuan Buwei likened the experience to taking a private plane that sheltered from the wind and had central heating. He also adjusted his posture at leisure, and an extra bag of pastry in his hand at some point.

An Yan who suddenly smelled the fragrance: …

He looked down out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly his whole person felt unwell. When was the pastry in his sleeve stolen by the young sect leader? Could it be that the young sect leader has mastered the skills of thieves?

At this moment, An Yan was distracted, and his internal breathing was almost interrupted. and he almost fell headlong due to a mistake in manoeuvring his qing gong.

“You need to practise your qing gong more, Dharma Protector.”

Yuan Bu opened the package of pastries that were neatly folded, and started to eat seriously. He did not forget to point out the flaws of this “private plane”, hoping for improvement on the next flight.

An Yan almost laughed from anger.

He tactfully hinted: “Young sect leader, what are you doing?”

“You can see that I am helping you eliminate the evidence.” as he spoke, Yuan Buwei ate several more mouthfuls.

An Yan was stunned.

“You think that others can’t hide what I can find?” The young man’s tone was staging the obvious, which sounded particularly reasonable. “Since the protector has helped me once, I should return the favour. How can I bear to see the protector punished?”

At this point, he sighed lightly.

As if it was very difficult for him to eat these things.

An Yan is a devil who claims to have no conscience, yet he can’t help being moved for a moment: “Young sect leader.”

“You don’t have to think too much about it Dhamma protector. It’s just helping a friend. I seldom go out of the mountain gate and don’t know everything. I just keep my head down and practice. I only know skills and few people. Dharma protector An has seen much and must have a lot of knowledge, maybe in the future I will need the help of my friend dharma protector An.”

The boy’s voice was very calm, as if it was just a trivial matter.

An Yan’s eyes sparkled.

He automatically translated the words of Yuan Buwei as: he knew a lot of advanced skills, and there was a lack of trusted people around him. How did he not realise before that this was a rare opportunity?

The cold wind howled. An Yan let the young man down below the main peak of the Sacred Burning Flame sect. He bowed his head and said solemnly, “I never thought that the young sect master had such a high evaluation of me, this protect Yan is honoured to be your friend.”

Yuan Buwei looked at him and smiled lightly: “Good.”

It was snowing all over the mountains. Yuan Buwei stood there for a while longer, allowing the wind and snow to cover his body again, making him look travel worn.

Then he walked up the mountain

方 = fāng = upright; honest;

云霄 yún xiāo = (the) skies/ heavens

6 轻功 = Qing gong

The literal translation of qinggong means “light martial arts” and it’s basically a technique that makes it so that you body seems very light and can float in the air, which is why all the characters jump and float and do spins in mid air.
