On Divine Phoenix Peak, beside a towering, isolated cliff.
A young man and woman sat side by side.
Under the bright moonlight, they were like a matched pair.
"So... the great treasure you spoke of, Eldest Senior Brother... is it this star-filled sky in front of us?"
Chu Youwei looked at the seemingly touchable cold moon ahead, her voice slightly bitter, as if a bit disappointed.
"What else did you expect?"
Lin Xiao stretched lazily, his eyes half-closed, "According to your Elder Senior Brother's many years of observation, this is the best spot in the entire Divine Phoenix Peak to stargaze and admire the moon. Whenever I can't sleep at night, I come here to appreciate the night view, and time just flies by."
"Looking up to the bright moon, and then down to think about home."
He suddenly sighed sentimentally.
"Think...about home... Is Eldest Senior Brother's home very far away? Could it be not in the Central State?"
Chu Youwei asked.
"Let's not talk about that, after joining the Immortal Sect, all mortal connections become void, it's best to forget."
Lin Xiao quickly changed the subject, "Well, didn't you say earlier that you had something to ask me? Go on."
"Hmm."
Chu Youwei nodded, cautiously asked:
"Weiwei is still curious... Eldest Senior Brother, why did you suddenly think of luring Ye Chen to Senior Sister Zhu and let him bear the brunt? And... why did you firmly believe that Ye Chen would certainly fall into the trap and Zhu Wanning would give him a hard time?"
Naturally, she wasn't only concerned about this.
She wanted to know, just how much did Eldest Senior Brother understand about the unrivaled and beautiful Senior Sister Zhu!
"It was just intuition."
Lin Xiao stared into the void and muttered, "Of course, I admit that doing so was indeed... somewhat of a gamble."
Intuition?
Impossible!
Lin Xiao never did anything he wasn't sure of!
He created a trap to lure Ye Chen into intruding the Fairy Pool at night, clearly understanding Zhu Wanning's character too well!
In the original plot, Zhu Wanning was a prodigy, she had an Ancient Asura Battle Body, her personality was as cold as snow, and she had clear-cut feelings of love and hate!
At first, she was completely indifferent towards the frivolous and arrogant Ye Chen.
But in the plot of the Five Branches Tournament that followed, as one of the leading young members of Qinglan, the proud and arrogant she was surprisingly defeated by Ye Chen, her world view started to change.
She, herself, started to look at this new Junior Brother differently.
In the subsequent 'Sword Tomb' subplot, she was trapped in a secret realm with Ye Chen, and in order to survive, she was forced to practice the 'Qinglan Dual Swords' technique with him, enacting a classic romantic fantasy plotline.
"Damn, it doesn't look good."
"Under my manipulation, not only did Zhu Wanning and Ye Chen meet ahead of time, the former also injured the latter, causing hostility between each other, will the one to Dual Cultivate with Zhu Wanning in the Sword Tomb trial still be Ye Chen?"
The sudden realization of this gave Lin Xiao a giant headache.
"Oh well, anyway according to the original plot, during the Five Branches Tournament, I called out Ye Chen to fight one on one, and as I was about to lose, in a fit of rage, I lost my mind and pulled out the Forbidden Treasure 'Absolute Black Lotus' that I stole from the prohibited area of Fairy Cliff. In the end, I was personally suppressed by the beautiful Master, who was completely disappointed in me."
"Which means that by the time the Sword Tomb subplot happened, I was already banned to the Cliff of Reflection by my master, the subsequent plot had nothing to do with me!"
Thinking about this, Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief.
Yes, reckoning from his years of personal experience.
As long as he sticks to his role and replicates the original character as much as possible, the 'Idle Antagonist System' will confirm his task as complete!
As for the subsequent plot...
Let it collapse!
After he becomes an immortal, he wouldn't care about a flood rising sky-high!
" Eldest Senior Brother, what... are you thinking about?"
Seeing her Senior Brother's mysterious smile, Chu Youwei stared with curiosity and asked.
"Nothing, I...just had a happy thought."
Lin Xiao blurted out something random, then, he ruffled her hair, speaking in a rare gentle tone:
"Weiwei, you did an excellent job tonight. You managed to get Zhu Wanning to beat up Ye Chen. You've really helped Eldest Senior Brother get rid of a thorn in his side! Very good!"
"So...Eldest Senior Brother, do you feel better now?"
Chu Youwei asked, her cat-like eyes shining, her small face blushed.
"Er... Of course, I feel great, very gratified." Lin Xiao chuckled.
"Mmm, since Eldest Senior Brother has gotten rid of the resentment in his heart, then...."
Chu Youwei leaned into Lin Xiao's ear, her cheeks flushed as she whispered quietly: "Can Eldest Senior Brother fulfill the previous promise and also make... Weiwei... feel good?"
Her voice was always gentle and pleasant, but this time it was imbued with much more affection, causing a tingling sensation throughout the body!
What the!
What is this suggestive rhetoric?
Lin Xiao was taken aback and stared at the shy girl in front of him in shock.
Naughty thoughts began to swirl in his mind.
The Third Junior Sister in front of him tightly held his hand, and looked at him seriously with her beautiful eyes:
"As Weiwei said before! I really enjoy being with Eldest Senior Brother! So...I want to be your Dao companion. From now on..."
"In the long road of cultivating immortality, I hope to hold each other for warmth!"
"This kind of bashful sentiment... Weiwei will only say it to you, Eldest Senior Brother, in this life. And in the future... I will only confess my feelings to you!"
"So I wonder..."
"Would Eldest Senior Brother be willing to?"
By the end, the young girl's cheeks were flaming and a hint of tears glimmered at the bottom of her eyes. Her earnest gaze held a hint of hopeful begging that was pitifully charming.
"Uh…."
Lin Xiao forcibly calmed his spirit, thought for a moment, and decided to seize this opportunity to ask everything:
"Firstly, Weiwei, can you tell me why... you like me so much?"
"Don't you think your Eldest Senior Brother is irritating... isn't enough to hate? You know, among the Inner and Outer Immortal Sect disciples of Divine Phoenix Peak, not many have a good impression of me."
When he said the last sentence, he even made a bitter smile.
Indeed, over the years, he had perfectly portrayed the image of a jerk Eldest Senior Brother, deserving an Oscar's best actor award for his performance!
Yet, there was still a beautiful girl confessing to him?
Was this girl sure she wasn't blind?
However.
Chu Youwei, with a firm look on her face, shook her head: "No, that's not it!"
"Eldest Senior Brother, listen carefully!"
She crossed her legs, sat straight, and said clearly:
"Weiwei will never forget, on the first day I arrived at the mountain, I was hassled by the Elder and scolded by my Senior Sisters, feeling helpless and desperate. It was Eldest Senior Brother who had hand-cooked me a comforting pork soup!"
"I can't forget that one night when my Guqin string broke. I feared that I would be punished by the Elder who passed on skills the next day. I cried all night, and it was Eldest Senior Brother who took the Guqin secretly and brought it to town for repair overnight, giving it a new lease on life!"
"No way! It was definitely you that night!"
"And there were so many other things!"
"I even think... think... that the Photo Stone that Eldest Senior Brother installed in the room was just to keep an eye on our cultivation!"
"Eldest Senior Brother, you…."
"Are really, the most gentle man in the world!"
By the end, her exquisite face was drenched in tears, her vision blurred by them.
What the heck!?
So shocked by her words, Lin Xiao almost slipped off the cliff!
So that's it!
So that's it!
The reason for the collapse of Third Junior Sister's character setting was finally solved!
