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

"Ahem, Miss Xianxian, you misunderstand. I had no intention of harming Miss Yun. I had no choice but to do this."

At this moment, Zhou Yun really suspected that if he didn't say something to make amends, he might be crippled by Yu Xianxian in the next second.

Of course, Yu Xianxian doesn't have that kind of strength, unless Zhou Yun stands there and lets her take the knife and chop her.

“I understand what you mean, young master, but regardless of the danger of this jade pendant, didn’t you ever think about stopping Lord Zhou and your sister?”

"That... is true. But Zhou Yun alone is powerless to stop it."

"Does Young Master Zhou intend to continue running away like this?"

Yun Meng's sharp gaze made Zhou Yun turn his head away, not daring to look her in the eye. He could only say helplessly, "Zhou Yun is just a mortal. How could he possibly fight against demons?"

“If Young Master Zhou wanted to, he could always do something, instead of handing over his mother’s belongings to a stranger he’d only known for a day.”

"So what else could Miss Yun say about Zhou Yun?"

Zhou Yun's face was filled with anger, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment and anger in his heart.

"Why don't you write a letter to the immortal sects asking for help? If you don't have the ability yourself, why don't you ask for help from powerful figures?"

Yunmeng: ...Holding onto someone's coattails? That's a rather peculiar description.

When Zhou Yun heard Yu Xianxian's words, he did laugh, but it was a sad laugh: "Miss Xianxian is really naive. How could those high and mighty cultivators care about our lives? Do you think I haven't sought help from that so-called righteous immortal sect? Since three years ago, I have been constantly asking the immortal sect for help, but to this day no one has come."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Yunmeng frowned. Although she didn't know what had happened, she believed that if the immortal sects received such a distress call, they would definitely not ignore it.

“Miss Yun, those cultivators will never care about the lives of ordinary people like us. Zhou Yun can only entrust the jade pendant to you.”

As he spoke, Zhou Yun bent down and respectfully handed the black fish-shaped jade pendant to Yun Meng with both hands.

Yunmeng didn't take it; she just stood there quietly watching the other person, like a drowning person trying to grasp at a last straw, as if making some decision.

The next second, Zhou Yun felt his body lighten, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing upright again.

Then, he saw the fish-shaped jade pendant float up into the air and drift into his sleeve.

“Since Young Master Zhou has told me the truth, then Yunmeng will no longer hide anything. I am Yunmeng, a disciple of the Spirit Medicine Peak of the Immortal Sect. I am here to greet Young Master Zhou.”

When Yunmeng greeted him with her hands clasped in a fist and introduced herself, Zhou Yun felt somewhat dazed.

"Miss Yun, you said you are a member of the immortal sect?"

"Exactly."

Yunmeng pulled Yu Xianxian over and gestured (threatened) with her eyes for Yu Xianxian to join her in bowing with clasped hands.

"This is my junior sister, Yu Xianxian."

"Are you two truly from the immortal sects?"

Zhou Yun looked surprised and even pinched himself in the dark. It hurt. It wasn't a dream. It really wasn't a dream.

Seeing Zhou Yun like this, Yu Xianxian felt a sense of relief. Seven years had passed, and she had long considered the Immortal Sect her home; she could not forgive anyone who spoke ill of her sect.

After confirming that he was not dreaming, Zhou Yun quickly bowed to the two men and said, "Zhou Yun greets the two Daoist masters."

"Young Master Zhou, there's no need for that."

However, Zhou Yun did not get up as Yun Meng suggested, but instead asked, "May I ask why you two Daoists have only just arrived in my Snow Rain City?"

These words contained some dissatisfaction and resentment, but Yunmeng was not angry. Well, okay, Yu Xianxian, who was standing to the side, was a little angry.

"Young Master Zhou, you misunderstand. It's not that our immortal sect doesn't want to lend a helping hand, but rather that we haven't received a single letter from you, as you mentioned."

"what?"

Zhou Yun looked up, his face clearly showing shock. He murmured, "But I clearly..."

"As you said, your father and sister are both controlled by demons. Do you think they won't send people to monitor you when you stand against them?"

"So, all my letters were intercepted."

"I think this is the most reasonable explanation."

"Then why have you two come here again? Did you just happen to be passing by?"

Regarding this question, Yunmeng felt there was no need to lie, and frankly said, "It was a pitiful mother who asked the immortal sect for help, which is why we came here. Perhaps it's because no one would think that a helpless woman would understand these things that no one stopped us."

"I really didn't expect that even I, who didn't know how to ask the immortal sects for help, would know?"

"Fairy!"

Yu Xianxian immediately sealed her mouth shut. What's wrong? She was just acting a little strange. Her senior sister's temper was getting more and more irritable, but she looked quite pretty when she was angry, hehehe.

"I see. But with your strength, are you capable of defeating that demon?"

"Well... it's hard to say. Even if it's not possible, don't worry, young master. Yunmeng's master will arrive in a few days. If Yunmeng can't handle it, her master will definitely step in. So, young master, there's no need to rush to hand over the jade pendant to him. Why don't we stay here for a few more days to find out what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun finally couldn't hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes. All these years of suffering could finally be over.

"Then I'll leave it to Miss Yun."

Yu Xianxian, standing to the side, said: "It's okay, she's used to being ignored by this guy."

……

After Zhou Yun thanked them countless times, the two finally managed to persuade (or drive away) the person.

"Senior sister, are you really going to help him?"

"Xianxian, you seem to have a problem with this Mr. Zhou."

"Oh, really? No."

Yu Xianxian pretended to be clueless. How come her senior sister's emotional intelligence was so high at this moment? She didn't even show it very obviously.

"Xianxian, I don't know what grudge you have. But it is the responsibility of the immortals to exorcise demons, and I am determined to take charge of this matter."

“It’s not that I want to stop you from exorcising demons, Senior Sister, but have you forgotten about the half-human, half-tiger fusion creature we found outside the city? According to the Peak Master, it must be a powerful demon. It obviously can’t be the Zhou family father and daughter, but could there be some connection between them? Should we wait for the Peak Master to return before taking action?”

No wonder Yu Xianxian's head felt itchy the other day; it turns out she's growing a brain.

Of course, Yu Xianxian selectively ignored this line from the script.

That's right, Yu Xianxian saw all of that from the script.

Although the script mostly consists of insults directed at her (script: Keep insulting her!), there is still some useful information.

For example, the following sentence,

"I didn't expect our Yunmeng contestant to reveal her identity so easily. It's clear she acted impulsively because of a similar experience and has completely forgotten about fusion with other creatures. Of course, we shouldn't count on the foolish Yu Xianxian either."

Oh, Yu Xianxian is selectively blind to this last sentence as well.

There were two things that caught her attention in this passage. The first was the matter of fused creatures that she had just mentioned to Yunmeng, and the other was the phrase "having had a similar experience."

Senior Sister Yun had also had a similar experience. Yu Xianxian scratched her head and said that she knew nothing about Yun Meng's past before she entered the immortal sect, and had never heard her talk about her past.
