At night.
Bandaged all over, Ye Anping sat in his bedroom as he combed through his plans one last time.
According to the game's plot, the reason Wu You destroyed the Hundred Lotus Sect was that, because of his specific practice, he needed live sacrifices to heal his wounds. And the most fundamental reason was that the protagonist severely injured him.
Before Wu You came to their place, he would meet the protagonist, who was coming to take the Black Star Sect entrance test in Wuxi Town, a hundred miles away. Because of some special aptitudes the protagonist had, he wanted her to be his human furnace, so they fought.
The protagonist was only at the Qi Refining stage and should have been easily defeated. However, because she had the bloodline of the Holy Emperor, she counteracted Wu You at the last moment and seriously injured him, forcing him to flee.
According to the tactic ‘sneak attack’, after the protagonist injured Wu You with her ring of light, his vital parts were vulnerable, and this was the best time for him and Pei Lianxue to take action.
During his recovery, his Cultivation Base would not exceed the middle stage of the _Foundation Building_at most.
"We only get one chance, eh."
That man must not be given a chance to catch his breath.
As long as Wu You died, the Hundred Lotus Sect would be safe. Once the sect was safe, he could slowly develop and later use some opportunities that were of no use to the protagonist, to marry a woman and live in peace.
Ye Anping nodded solemnly and looked at a device on the table used to display the year and month. If he remembered correctly, the protagonist would meet Wu You in thirteen days, so he and Pei Lianxue had to prepare to leave as well.
They had to go to Wuxi Town in advance to lie in wait so as to not miss the opportunity.
With this in mind, Ye Anping pulled off the bandages on his body and ran to the cabinet in the bedroom to pack his luggage. He put all the pills and magic items he had into his storage bag, then left a note on the table to stop Ye Ao and Kong Yulan from worrying and looking for him.
Ye Anping thought for a while before writing the note.
He didn't think that what he had been preparing for ten years would fail, but even if he wasn't afraid, that was just in case.
So, he wrote: 『Father, I took Pei Lianxue to kill the Grand Master of the Magical Poison Sect. If we don't return before the 15th of next month, please take all the disciples and elders and leave immediately. Go to the Black Star Sect to seek asylum. I know you never believed what I said, but please listen to me this time. 』
After leaving this note, he opened the door, looked out, and saw that the lights were off in the next room where Xiaodie was sleeping. Then, he closed his door, jumped from the window onto the roof, and rushed to the small courtyard where Pei Lianxue lived.
...
Pei Lianxue had just returned from the Heavenly Pavilion and looked tired.
In the afternoon, just as she was forcefully giving Ye Anping a throw over her shoulder, Kong Yulan came rushing over.
Kong Yulan immediately sent Ye Anping to the medical center for treatment and took her to the Heavenly Pavilion, where she was reprimanded.
She was disciplined from noon until sunset for three whole hours.
In the end, it was Ye Ao who interceded for her, and after she wrote a letter of guarantee that she would never beat Ye Anping again in the future, Kong Yulan finally let her go.
"It was him who asked me to fight..." Pei Lianxue complained, puffing out her cheeks. But after thinking about it, she was lucky enough to get away with just a scolding.
Ye Anping was the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect while she was just an ordinary disciple.
An ordinary disciple beat the young master of the sect until he couldn't get out of bed. If this had happened in other sects, she would have been expelled long ago. If the sect's rules were stricter, she might even be beaten to death with sticks or something.
She had always known that she was different from Ye Anping. He was a young master born into an old family of cultivators while her parents were ordinary people who made their living by farming and raising cattle.
As a daughter of a simple family, she could now embark on the journey of seeking immortality, all because Ye Ao brought her from the Pei family to the Hundred Lotus Sect.
And, also because of this, her parents were now living a good life.
Two months ago, the Pei family sent her a letter. The letter said that they received the title of "Immortal family" from the Emperor, her father had been called to the capital to be a rank six official, and she now had a younger brother and two younger sisters.
Pei Lianxue took out the fire and water stones, threw them into the tub, and in no time, a herbal bath was ready. She removed her clothes and gently tested the temperature with her toes before soaking in the water.
"Hmm, I should ask the Patriarch for a day off during New Year to visit them. I haven't seen my parents in ten years." She sprinkled a few petals into the bathtub, then closed her eyes and dedicated herself to enjoying the comfortable bath.
She didn't know how long she sat like that when the bedroom door opened suddenly with a bang.
Startled, Pei Lianxue subconsciously stood up from the bathtub, ready to get the sword from the sword rack. But just as she got out of the tub, a figure stepped around the screen and stood in front of her.
"Sister, pack your things quickly. We're leaving."
"..."
Seeing Ye Anping carrying a large bag, Pei Lianxue was so stunned that she even forgot to cover her body.
"Don't just stand there. We still have a long way to go."
"..."
"If we miss it, the ten years of preparation will come to naught." Ye Anping looked at her chest, then looked around the room, ran to the hanger, took her clothes, and threw them to her. "Put on your clothes quickly. Then, put all the pills and spirit stones into the storage bag, and bring a few more clothes..."
Pei Lianxue caught the clothes, and only now did she realize she was naked. Her face instantly turned crimson, and she hastily covered her body with the clothes he threw over.
"You..."
"Hurry up and get dressed. Do you want me to help you?"
"..."
Pei Lianxue felt her blood boiling, her eyelids twitching, and her veins popping out on her forehead and the back of her hands.
However, Ye Anping didn't notice anything. He just sighed and came forward to help her get dressed.
"How old are you? You still need your big brother to help you get dressed."
This time, Pei Lianxue could no longer hold back and swung her fist at his face. With a muffled sound, Ye Anping crashed through the window, flying out of the house.
At the same time, Pei Lianxue's roar came from inside the room, "You scoundrel!"
...
After Pei Lianxue got dressed, she went out, dragged the unconscious Ye Anping back into the room, and woke him up with essential oils.
Later, Ye Anping sat on a chair holding a bronze mirror and stared speechlessly at his swollen right cheek.
"Sister, why did you suddenly hit me?"
"You still ask?!" Pei Lianxue resisted the urge to beat him up again and said, "While I was taking a bath, you suddenly barged in... and..."
"That's it?"
Pei Lianxue looked in disbelief. "Isn't that enough? You've seen me all!"
"It's not like I haven't seen it before, and there's nothing to see about a fourteen-year-old girl with no breasts and butt." Ye Anping spread his hands and said with a serious expression, "Hurry up and pack your things. We need to get to Wuxi Town quickly. If we miss the time, both the sect and you will be finished."
"..."
Looking at Ye Anping's serious face, Pei Lianxue suddenly felt as if something was choking her, making her unable to speak.
"Are you serious?"
"How many times do I have to tell you? I've always been serious. That demonic cultivator should already be in Wuxi Town."
"Then..." Pei Lianxue paused and asked, "Why don't you go talk to the Patriarch?"
"It's useless to talk to my father. His magic items and cultivation training are surpassed by that person. Besides, it's not that I haven't told him, but he always thought I read too many stories."
Ye Anping sighed earnestly, stood up, and took Pei Lianxue's hand.
When he held her hand, she took a step back, and her cheeks flushed. "Ah... you... what are you grabbing my hand for?"
"Sister, no matter what, please trust me this time. The hardships of the past ten years were all for this day."
"Oh..." Pei Lianxue looked at him weakly, "But... but, if that's the case, if that demonic cultivator is not reduced to half of his Cultivation Base, wouldn’t we go there to die on our own initiative?"
"Trust me, sister, you can beat him. I will accompany you. If something goes wrong, I will accompany you to the gate of hell."
Hearing these words, Pei Lianxue was taken aback.
To die together?
It almost sounded like a declaration of sacrifice out of love.
Pei Lianxue looked away and said shyly, "Brother, don't talk like that. It will bring bad luck."
Ye Anping frowned and shook his head, repeating, "I'm serious."
Ye Anping had already decided that if something unexpected happened and Pei Lianxue couldn't defeat that demonic cultivator, then he would take the initiative to stab her to death.
No matter what, he had a brotherly relationship with Pei Lianxue for more than ten years, and he absolutely could not let her fall into Wu You's hands.
Of course, Pei Lianxue did not understand Ye Anping's meaning. She only felt that he was expressing his affection for her.
Seeing him frowning, she hesitated for a while, pursed her lips, and nodded slowly: "Then... then, I'll go pack."
