Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

Outside the Tomb of the Living Dead, Duan Zhengchun once again crouched in the grass, waiting until the sun set, but Xiaolongnu still did not appear, and even Granny Sun had disappeared.

Seeing that it was getting late, Duan Zhengchun shook his head helplessly and got up to leave.

However, he stopped after taking only a few steps, then suddenly turned around, leaped down the hillside, and arrived at the entrance of the ancient tomb in the blink of an eye. He then reached out and wrote a message on the stone wall.

After taking one last look at the cave entrance, he turned and swept away without looking back, displaying his nonchalant style.

But no sooner had he left than Little Dragon Girl led Granny Sun out of the cave.

In fact, Xiaolongnu already knew that Duan Zhengchun had arrived, but she deliberately hid and did not come out, nor did she stop Duan Zhengchun from writing on the stone wall.

"I never expected that little thief to be so skilled, able to write on this stone wall with just his finger strength!"

"But these words are so frivolous, so shameless!"

Grandma Sun glanced at the words on the stone wall and looked disgusted.

Little Dragon Girl turned her head to look, her brows furrowed slightly, and a blush appeared on her face for the first time ever.

"You are like a gentle spring breeze, caressing my heart. Day and night, my soul and dreams are filled with you. Since the first time I met you, the brilliance of the sun and the splendor of the moon have paled in comparison to your smile."

"I wish to hold your hand and pledge my life to you. Though the years may be long, I will protect you in my arms. My heart belongs only to you..."

Every word is straightforward and blunt, every sentence comes from the heart.

But to outsiders, Duan Zhengchun might just be seen as a philanderer who leaves his mark everywhere, like a bee or butterfly chasing after fragrance, and his behavior is despicable.

On the other side, Duan Zhengchun, having failed to achieve his goal, returned to the mountain, lit a campfire, roasted and ate the pheasant he had caught using a trap, and then took out a wine gourd to drown his sorrows and ease his longing.

After a hearty meal, they returned to Chaomu Cliff listlessly, planning to go again the next day.

But just as he leaped down the cliff, preparing to return to his thatched hut and fall into a deep sleep, he found Qiu Chuji sitting inside with a gloomy expression.

Duan Zhengchun was taken aback. He quickly stuffed the two chicken legs he was holding into his clothes, wiped his greasy mouth, bowed, and said, "Master, what brings you here?"

Qiu Chuji, his face grim, said with displeasure, "You still know how to come back?! I've been waiting for you here for several hours!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun immediately understood that Qiu Chuji had discovered his unauthorized departure from Chaomu Cliff and must have just seen him descending the mountain.

It must be that bastard Zhao Zhijing who went back and spread rumors! I shouldn't have let him off so easily!

"I was bored while practicing my skills, so I went for a walk in the mountains."

Duan Zhengchun swallowed hard, trying to explain.

"You've been drinking?!"

Qiu Chuji frowned, then suddenly leaned forward, took a sniff, and his expression turned even more unpleasant.

Duan Zhengchun inwardly groaned and hurriedly bowed, saying, "This disciple knows his mistake!"

Now he has no choice but to admit his mistake.

If it were him in the past, he might have already tried to leave the Quanzhen Sect, regardless of whether he broke the precepts. But ever since he met Xiaolongnu, he has decided to stay in the Quanzhen Sect so that he can see Xiaolongnu whenever he wants.

"What's wrong with you? You've never disobeyed your master's orders before, but now you've not only left Chaomu Cliff without permission, but you've even been secretly drinking alcohol?! Do you disregard the precepts?!"

"Are you addicted to breaking the rules?! The month isn't even up yet, and you've already made another mistake?! Do you really want me to expel you from the sect?!"

Qiu Chuji stood up abruptly, looking at Duan Zhengchun with a disappointed and disapproving expression, and scolded him.

"It's all my fault, Master. Please have mercy and don't expel me from the sect. I know I was wrong."

Duan Zhengchun lowered his head and had no choice but to continue admitting his mistake. Seeing Qiu Chuji's disappointed look, he also felt bad, because Qiu Chuji was the only person who had truly been good to him since his rebirth.

In truth, if he were truly expelled from the sect, he didn't know where he would go. After this period of time, setting aside those annoying precepts, he felt that being a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect didn't seem so bad.

"Do you know that someone has already reported your unauthorized departure from Chaomu Cliff to me and your other senior uncles! They even suspect you went to secretly meet with the Ancient Tomb Sect..."

Qiu Chuji looked at Duan Zhengchun with disappointment, and spoke again, but stopped halfway through his sentence and sighed helplessly.

Duan Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's Zhao Zhijing, isn't it?!"

Qiu Chuji paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Never mind who it is, just tell your master the truth, is this true or not?!"

Duan Zhengchun raised his head and looked at Qiu Chuji with a serious expression, and said with certainty: "I admit to leaving Chaomu Cliff without permission, and I admit to drinking alcohol in secret, but I absolutely did not go to the Ancient Tomb Sect in secret!"

When he said the last sentence, he was actually very guilty, but he couldn't admit it, because if he did, it would not only tarnish Xiaolongnu's reputation, but also bring him even more severe punishment.

Abstaining from sexual misconduct is far more serious than abstaining from alcohol!

"Really do not have?"

Qiu Chuji stared intently at Duan Zhengchun, then hesitated before asking a follow-up question.

Duan Zhengchun nodded vigorously and said loudly, "Absolutely not! If anyone saw it with their own eyes, I am willing to confront them face to face!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji's expression softened slightly, and he frowned as he fell into deep thought.

“Master, I know this even if you don’t say it. It’s just that Zhao Zhijing has been gossiping in front of you and your fellow disciples. There’s something I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet.”

“I discovered that someone had secretly gone up Chaomu Cliff to spy on me. At the time, I didn’t know who it was, but the next day I found someone following me on the mountain. That person was Zhao Zhijing!”

"He must have been discovered by his disciple, so he turned around and tried to frame him by sowing discord! His only goal is to make his disciple lose the qualification to compete for the chief disciple position!"

"Perhaps someone else is secretly behind this!"

Seeing that Qiu Chuji's attitude had softened, Duan Zhengchun immediately seized the opportunity to shift all the blame onto Zhao Zhijing and Wang Chuyi.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji frowned even more deeply, gave Duan Zhengchun a serious look, and walked out of the thatched hut.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Duan Zhengchun said nothing more and slowly followed them out of the thatched hut.

"Did Zhao Zhijing see you secretly drinking alcohol?!"

After a long while, Qiu Chuji stopped and turned to look at Duan Zhengchun, asking him earnestly.

Duan Zhengchun shook his head firmly and said, "No, with his skills, it would be impossible for me not to discover him! If I hadn't already guessed it was him, I probably would have already made my move!"

"To be honest, there's a reason why I'm drinking. Since returning to Zhongnan Mountain, I've completely forgotten everything from the past, and sometimes I don't even know who I am..."

"Whenever I think of these things, I feel frustrated. But I am all alone on Chaomu Cliff, with no one to talk to. On one side is a sheer cliff, and on the other side are cold, steep mountain peaks. I feel so stifled."

"So every day the disciple would climb this mountain. It was very spacious up there, where he could practice his skills and relax at the same time."

As Qiu Chuji watched Duan Zhengchun recount his story, a hint of tenderness appeared between his brows. He shook his head and sighed, the anger and disappointment on his face gradually fading away.

[My sins, my sins...]

Seeing the change in Qiu Chuji's expression, Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He wasn't a person who liked to lie, but now he had no choice but to do so in order to appease Qiu Chuji.

"You climbed up from here? Barehand?"

Qiu Chuji turned and glanced at the steep mountain peak, his face showing hesitation.

"Yes."

Duan Zhengchun seized the opportunity to back down and immediately changed the subject.

However, Qiu Chuji looked at Duan Zhengchun with a suspicious expression, seemingly not believing that Duan Zhengchun could do it.

Duan Zhengchun smiled and offered no explanation. Right in front of Qiu Chuji, he used the Golden Goose Skill and the Lingbo Steps to easily ascend the mountain peak in the blink of an eye. Then he leaped down and landed steadily on the ground, clinging to the cliff face.

Qiu Chuji looked at Duan Zhengchun, who was walking on the cliff as if it were flat ground, and couldn't hide his surprise. He exclaimed, "What kind of lightness skill did you just use?!"

Duan Zhengchun laughed and said, "It is a movement technique that I, your disciple, came up with after repeatedly failing to climb mountains when I had nothing to do. I named it Cloud Traces and Illusions!"

To avoid complicated explanations, he simply changed the name of Lingbo Weibu...
