The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing

Lin Yu had always known that his master was ill, but Si Ming never admitted it.

When they first met, the man in front of them, who looked like a god, was climbing over the inner wall of his house.

"who are you?"

The man with his back to him seemed not to have expected that he had been discovered, or perhaps he wanted to be discovered. Despite his gentle and pleasant voice, the words he spoke were so amusing that they made people chuckle.

"Ahem, um, could you get me something to stand on? This wall is too high, I can't get down."

Lin Yu:......

He didn't know where the other party came from, a petty thief, who dared to be so blatant; he didn't know whether to call it boldness or stupidity.

"You'd better leave before anyone notices. The Lin family isn't a place you can steal from, and there's nothing here worth stealing."

Lin Yu's father was the prefect of this place, a high-ranking and powerful official, and his family naturally had considerable resources, but it was still not a place that ordinary people could enter.

As for why Si Ming, who can't even climb walls, could get into his place, it's simply because his unfavored son lives in the most remote area.

Logically, as the eldest son, he should have been the apple of his family's eye. However, from birth, Lin Yu's health was poor, and he was often bedridden, requiring a lot of medicine to treat his illness.

At first, Lin Yu's parents were quite attentive, but after his younger brothers were born, Lin Yu received less and less attention.

Even though his family never said anything, Lin Yu could still sense their disgust and aversion from their expressions and behavior.

Perhaps feeling guilty, or unable to bear the cold violence from others, Lin Yu voluntarily went to the most secluded courtyard in the mansion, locking himself away year after year and refusing to see anyone.

Lin Yu's family seemed to have forgotten about him; apart from the servant who brought him meals, Lin Yu had never seen anyone else.

"I'm sorry to meet you this way, but I'm not here to steal anything."

As he spoke, the man who had been hanging awkwardly on the wall was now standing in front of him. The hazy moonlight made him seem as if he might drift away at any moment, like a bewitching ghost or a dreamlike fairy.

Just as Lin Yu was stunned, the man spoke again. His eyes were expressionless, but he was definitely looking at him intently.

"I'm here to see you, Lin Yu."

That night, the other party said a lot of things that Lin Yu couldn't understand, such as cultivation, destiny, and even the demon race...

Lin Yu didn't understand, and probably few people at that time could understand the meaning of those words, but that person said he could cure his illness.

“If left unchecked, you won’t live more than two years. If you want to live, come with me, Lin Yu.”

Perhaps that person truly possessed some captivating charm, or perhaps their eyes were so clear and bright that no one could doubt them; Lin Yu indeed followed the person away from that desolate courtyard.

But now, he feels a little regretful.

"Master, aren't you hungry?"

"It's alright, it's alright. Master is a fairy descended from heaven, she won't... cough, I don't need to eat, you can eat."

Ever since Lin Yu started following Si Ming, the other party has always been like this, sometimes capricious and eccentric, sometimes serious and gentle, making him hard to fathom.

However, it is undeniable that since he started using the other party's cultivation method, Lin Yu has clearly felt that his body has improved a lot, and his stubborn illness that had been difficult to cure for a long time has gradually disappeared.

Sometimes, Lin Yu even found himself able to briefly connect with heaven and earth, absorbing their spiritual energy and achieving the so-called cultivation effect.

His master seemed quite satisfied with his progress, even though his own condition appeared to be getting worse.

"Oh my, that's great! Our little Yu Yu has also started learning."

Little Yu Yu...

Every time Lin Yu heard this title, he felt his brow twitch and his body instinctively reject it.

Fortunately, the master's illness only lasted a short time, and he would soon return to his usual aloof demeanor.

"Lin Yu, you have a lightning spiritual root, which is generally not suitable for alchemy and weapon crafting. Swordsmanship, formations, and beast taming are more suitable for you."

"Is that so? Then how about I choose a sword technique, disciple?"

"Why?"

When Si Ming asked him a question, Lin Yu seemed to recall some beautiful memories, and his eyes lit up with a new light.

“My master knows that I have been weak and sickly since childhood. I was unable to practice martial arts or study. In my spare time, I could only look at picture books to pass the time. At that time, I saw the chivalrous people in those picture books. They were skilled in martial arts and had a heroic appearance. I wanted to experience it myself, but unfortunately, I never got to do so.”

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, the person in front of him patted him on the shoulder and looked at him with the eyes of someone who was looking at a fellow traveler.

"You know, I understand adolescence. I was like that back then too..."

Unfortunately, he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Since it's your choice, then that's fine."

Upon receiving his master's earnest affirmation, Lin Yu smiled, but the smile faded the next second.

"Do you miss your parents?"

Although Si Ming was not good at interpersonal relationships, he could still see some basic things after spending a long time with someone, and he immediately pointed out what Lin Yu was thinking.

"It's nothing, I just feel that if my parents were here, they would definitely want me to study and take the imperial examinations."

"But they're not here now, Yu Yu. This is your path; just follow your own choices."

Of course, there were some things she didn't say.

Since the other party doesn't care about Lin Yu, why should Lin Yu care about those people's thoughts?

Initially, Si Ming had come to visit Lin Yu, intending to formally accept him as a disciple, but he was mistaken for a charlatan and driven away.

"It seems that people still know too little about cultivation."

"Really? I think they believed you quite a bit when you performed your magic. It's just that you kicked them out because you refused to take their sons as your apprentices."

"Lin Yu is their eldest son, and also their son..."

“They might have been before, but from the moment they abandoned people and stopped caring for them, they became strangers.”

Then came the scene where Lin Yu met them.

Of course, when asked about the reason for climbing the wall, Si Ming only said that the Lin family did not trust them, and they had no choice but to do so. He did not reveal any further details.

Since Lin Yu secretly left, there has been no news from the Lin family, and Si Ming has not told them either.

Although Lin Yu already knew in his heart, he and his master tacitly never mentioned it.

At first, Lin Yu thought he would continue living this strange and peaceful life with his master. Perhaps in the future he would have a few more junior brothers and sisters, and life would probably only get more lively then, but everything changed after he met that man.

That was a terrifying fellow. His master, whom he had always regarded as a god, was almost powerless against him. If his master hadn't managed to escape with him, the two of them would probably have perished there that night.

Later, he learned the name of that person from his master—Si Tu, the former God of War of the Heavenly Realm, the future Demon Lord, and an enemy they could never overcome.

"Master, what is destiny?"

When Lin Yu asked this question, the Fate Master in front of him did not turn around to look at him, but looked at the waning moon in front of him and slowly said: "Under the laws of Heaven, the fate of all people is already determined and cannot be changed."

"Was it also fate that Master died at that man's hands?"

"So you know when she started talking to you?"

"It wasn't Senior Sister, it's just that my cultivation has improved and I accidentally overheard some of your conversations with Senior Sister."

"is it?"

After hearing Si Ming sigh and remain silent, Lin Yu raised his voice a few decibels: "Master, have you accepted your fate?"

"Lin Yu, there is no need to feel resentful. The destiny that Heaven has written for you, the destiny of the Immortal Sect, will ultimately lead to victory."

"So, you can just accept your fate?"

Hearing this, Si Ming sighed: "People don't accept their fate simply because fate is unsatisfactory. You feel that fate is unfair to your master, but I think it's fine this way. Besides, your master's fate is none of your concern..."

Lin Yu could never have imagined that one day he would say the same words to his disciple.

"What's with those expressions? Didn't I tell you, you don't need to worry about me? I'm fine."

But the three men in front of them gritted their teeth upon hearing this, gripping their swords at their waists with fierce intensity.

Is it alright? "Alright" means that one's cultivation was completely destroyed, and one's life was even in danger.

However, the three of them did not say these words. They were Lin Yu's personal disciples, knew their master's temperament, and knew even better who would take on the responsibility if the master of a peak fell.

"Lin Xiao, you grew up in the immortal sect since childhood. Although you have good talent for cultivation, you still need to learn from your junior brothers and sisters in terms of interpersonal relationships."

"Yes……"

"Ke Bai, you are gentle in nature, but you care about the immortal sect. Among the three of you, you are the closest to the other disciples. In the future, you should also handle the relationships between the disciples well for your senior brother."

"Disciple...understands."

"As for Jin'er..."

Lin Yu looked at Su Jin'er and sighed. Although Su Jin'er was the youngest of the three and the last to join the Immortal Sect, the things she had encountered during this period were more difficult than the other two.

"I have heard that the situation in Lin Yuan Kingdom is gradually improving under the handling of that prime minister. If you are worried, you can go and check on it more often, but do not let worldly affairs disturb your cultivation."

"Will Master still remain on Spirit Sword Peak?"

Hearing Su Jin'er's question, Lin Yu was taken aback at first, then gave a bitter smile: "My spiritual root has been destroyed, and I can no longer cultivate. My remaining lifespan is no different from that of an ordinary person. What reason do I have to stay?"

"But what about Peak Master Fu and the others..."

Lin Yu interrupted Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "Don't forget, your master is their senior brother. It's not up to your junior brothers and sisters to make decisions for me."

But the next moment, Lin Yu's door was pushed open, and the four people who had been eavesdropping outside for who knows how long entered the room.

"Wow, Senior Brother, you certainly have a big mouth."

Several months is enough time for the disciples of the immortal sect to return to their previous daily cultivation routine, but the disciples of Spirit Sword Peak have recently discovered something amiss.

That is, in the last few days, a genius has come to their Spirit Sword Peak.

Although he was a guy who had only arrived at Spirit Sword Peak a few days ago and wielded the most ordinary spirit sword, his swordsmanship and moves were the most beautiful among them.

There are even rumors that when their senior brother sparred with the other party in private, he was still a move or two behind in terms of sword skills.

Therefore, even if the opponent's cultivation level is not high, they have become the private challenge targets for many Lingjian Peak disciples.

"Hey, new junior brother, I heard you're pretty good. How about you have a go at your senior brother?"

"How come I remember that the immortal sects don't allow private fights?"

"Hey, don't be so rigid. The peak masters also spar often. As long as nothing serious happens, it's just normal sparring. Don't worry, senior brother, your cultivation level isn't high. How about we don't use spiritual power and just look at the moves?"

The Lingjian Peak disciple noticed that the other party remained strangely silent for a few seconds before slowly nodding.

"alright."

Unfortunately, if it comes down to a contest of techniques, these poor Lingjian Peak disciples definitely can't beat Lin Yu.

Moreover, everyone soon discovered that every time they competed with this new disciple, they would be caught by their senior brothers and sisters, and the new disciple was never punished.

As a result, a rumor spread like wildfire across Lingjian Peak.

"I heard that the new disciple is Senior Brother Ke Bai's illegitimate son."

"Ah, it's Senior Brother Ke Bai's? Who said that? Why can't it be Senior Brother and Senior Sister Su's?"

"Oh dear, are you stupid? Senior Brother Lin Xiao avoids all the female disciples of our Spirit Sword Peak, let alone other women. How could he possibly have a child? As for Senior Sister Su, she's still so young. Although I heard she's been getting quite close to that kid from Spirit Array Peak lately, it's still unlikely. So, Senior Brother Ke Bai is the most probable."

"Then why can't it be Peak Master Lin's?"

"Tsk tsk, are you new here? Everyone knows that our Peak Master Lin has been a bachelor for thousands of years, and he stays cooped up in the Immortal Sect every day. I'm more likely to get married and have children than Peak Master Lin... Holy crap, how come you're really new here?"

The disciples of Lingjian Peak had no idea how long Lin Yu had been listening behind them, but the smile on his face was quite chilling.

"My fellow disciples, would you like to have a friendly spar with me?"

Clearly, reality did not give them the power to refuse. After they pitifully approached Senior Brother Ke Bai and begged him to stand up for them, they each received a hard thud on the head again.

"Focus on your cultivation. You are not allowed to spread these rumors again, nor are you allowed to make fun of your master. Otherwise, you will have to go to the peak masters to receive punishment next time."

"Yes."

Amidst the wails of several disciples, Lin Yu, who had instigated the dispute, had already drifted away.

Ah, another peaceful day for Spirit Sword Peak.
