After transmigrating into the book, I became the little sun of the crazy villain.

Stimulate!

Although Song Zhiyuan was muttering to himself, the disciple closest to him heard it clearly.

It turns out that there's more to the story than meets the eye after the two men's affair ended. The next part involves two men vying for one woman, and Senior Brother Song loses out to the new junior brother.

"Of course, it's also possible that Junior Sister Yun and Senior Brother Song had a falling out. Didn't you see that the other girl looks about 70% like Senior Brother Song? She's just a stand-in."

“You’re right, a fake can never compare to the real thing.”

The onlookers' tone was full of sympathy for Qi Yan, because they had a preconceived notion that Qi Yan was part of the play between Song Zhiyuan and Yun Zhao.

"Junior Sister Yun is the former sect leader's granddaughter. It's one thing for her to favor Senior Brother Song, but Qi Yan is just a newcomer, why should she..."

Song Zhiyuan listened to their words without showing it on his face, but he was secretly pleased with himself.

It's true that he was very attentive to the new female students during recruitment, but he also didn't want to let go of Yun Zhao.

As the only bloodline of the former sect leader, Yun Zhao possesses countless cultivation resources. Moreover, after becoming Yun Zhao's partner, one can also receive assistance from Hanyue Peak.

Song Zhiyuan tightened his grip on the jade pendant.

It seems that Qi Yan has the same idea as him. For the cultivation resources and assistance in Yun Zhao's hands, he is even willing to give up his mother's belongings.

Recalling Yun Zhao's attitude towards Qi Yan just now, Song Zhiyuan reluctantly began to treat Qi Yan as an opponent.

Just as he was thinking about how to win Yun Zhao back, Song Zhiyuan's communication talisman rang: "Senior brother, are you on the main peak? I have some cultivation matters I'd like to ask you..."

Song Zhiyuan gave the other party an affirmative answer and then returned to his residence.

On the other side, Yun Zhao pulled Qi Yan to the foot of Qingyun Peak. She summoned her spirit sword, but Qi Yan did not move for a long time.

"Ayan, didn't I give you the spirit sword yesterday?"

Yun Zhao's residence is on the mountaintop, and flying on a sword is much slower than walking. Qi Yan has been locked in the dungeon and doesn't have any storage bags or anything. Yesterday, she prepared everything that Qi Yan needed.

Qi Yan paused, "My cultivation has been sealed."

"what?"

Yun Zhao was surprised. She released her divine sense to check Qi Yan's cultivation level and found that he indeed had no spiritual power at all.

"When did this happen? Who did it!"

Yun Zhao hadn't noticed anything unusual about Qi Yan's cultivation level before; she assumed Qi Yan was hiding it with a technique, but she never expected...

Seeing her eager to avenge him, Qi Yan said coldly, "You did it."

Yun Zhao froze, "Huh?"

"Just kidding," Qi Yan chuckled, looking down. "I don't know who did it. My cultivation was still intact yesterday, but it was sealed just now."

The implication of those words was too obvious, and Yun Zhao subconsciously asked, "Did Song Zhiyuan do it?"

Qi Yan remained noncommittal. "Maybe, I'm not sure."

"It must have been him," Yun Zhao said angrily. "Didn't you feel it when your cultivation was sealed?"

"Are you just going to let him seal your cultivation? What if he tries to harm you? I'm right here beside you, and you didn't even call for me!"

"Let's go, let's settle the score with him!"

She angrily grabbed Qi Yan, determined to confront Song Zhiyuan.

She was a weakling with no cultivation, and could be crushed to death if she wasn't careful. Although she followed Qi Yan around all the time, there were always times when she couldn't notice him.

What if she dies? What will happen to her mission?

Qi Yan pulled her hand away. "It might not be him. Besides, I don't want to have a conflict with him."

Yun Zhao asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"The jade pendant he's holding is my mother's keepsake."

Qi Yan sighed softly, "He forced me to swear an oath with the jade tablet that I would never cultivate again."

"You agreed?"

Qi Yan shook her head, "No, but..."

“But your cultivation has been sealed,” Yun Zhao clenched his fist. “It must have been Song Zhiyuan who did it. No one else could have done it!”

Qi Yan lowered her eyes. "So what? Are we going to confront him? What if he doesn't admit it? What if we push him too far and he destroys my mother's belongings?"

indeed.

The item is in Song Zhiyuan's hands. If Song Zhiyuan is pushed too far, he may very well destroy the jade tablet.

“Never mind,” Yun Zhao sighed, “Let me think about it…”

Seeing that Yun Zhao believed him, Qi Yan curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

His cultivation wasn't sealed by Song Zhiyuan, but rather it was accidentally sealed yesterday when Yun Zhao interrupted his demonic possession.

As for why the vague and misleading statements were used to mislead Yun Zhao...

Qi Yan gazed intently at Yun Zhao, who looked troubled.

He did it on purpose.

Last time, he easily trusted Yun Zhao, but was humiliated and whipped. This time, why not let Yun Zhao also experience being fooled?

Furthermore, he didn't believe Yun Zhao liked him; this might just be another act.

Does Yun Zhao want him to fall in love with her, and then be cruelly abandoned by her?

Don't even think about it, he won't fall for it again!

"That's right! He can seal your cultivation, so he must have a way to unseal it. Why don't I find a way to unseal it for you?"

Yun Zhao thought about it more and more and felt that his method was feasible. "The library has many ancient books, which will definitely be able to unlock your cultivation level."

"Come a little closer, I'll take you back on my sword."

Standing on the spirit sword with Yun Zhao, Qi Yan leisurely enjoyed the scenery.

She believed it.

I really want to see her face when she realizes she's been fooled; it'll be quite a sight!

As for that jade pendant...

Those were fake relics. He has demon blood, so he shouldn't be unable to smell his mother's scent.

At the same time, Qi Yan harbored a secret hope.

He tried many methods, but none of them could break the cultivation barrier. What if Yun Zhao could find a way?

There was a small library on Qingyun Peak. As soon as Yun Zhao returned, he dragged Qi Yan to the small library to look through the books.

"Let's look around here first. If we can't find it, we'll go to the sect's library. Most of the books here record some strange and unusual cultivation techniques."

“Exactly,” Yun Zhao scratched his head, “They’re so strange and unusual that I don’t know how to categorize them. I can only read them one by one.”

Qi Yan looked at the endless bookshelves and fell into deep thought.

How long will it take to find them?!

"Brother, can I come in?"

Not long after Song Zhiyuan returned to his residence, Xue Huairui arrived.

Song Zhiyuan said gently, "Come in, junior sister. What don't you understand?"

Xue Huairui raised several questions, all of which are common for beginners, and Song Zhiyuan answered them one by one.

But one last question...

Song Zhiyuan was slightly embarrassed: "Junior sister, you and I have different spiritual roots. You should ask this question to a cultivator who also has an ice spiritual root."

“But,” Xue Huairui said with distress, “I don’t know any senior brothers or sisters with ice spiritual roots. In the sect, I only know you, senior brother.”

Song Zhiyuan chuckled, "You've only been here for two days, of course you don't know anyone. In a few days, your senior brother will introduce you to some senior brothers and sisters with ice spiritual roots, and you can ask them."

He added, "Disciples with the Ice Spirit Root should go to Cold Moon Peak under True Person Cold Moon. Although your master has accepted you as a disciple, you will still need to go to Cold Moon Peak to study for your future cultivation."

Xue Huairui's eyes flickered. "Senior brother, can I not go to Hanyue Peak?"
