Chapter 212: Chapter 193: Why Not Kill Them All?
[Early morning.]
Xiao Mo sat in the courtyard, reading a book.
Yu Yunwei sat beside Xiao Mo, her pearly white teeth chewing on the end of her brush pen as she worked on an exam paper.
Her brow furrowed deeply as she looked at the questions.
Xiao Mo had been tutoring Yu Yunwei for a full four months.
From initial refusal to outright rebellion, and finally to resigned acceptance, Yu Yunwei had gradually grown accustomed to this way of life.
But what always annoyed Yu Yunwei was that, once a month, Xiao Mo would give her an exam to test her progress.
If she failed, he wouldn’t strike her palms, but he would increase her daily lessons.
In Yu Yunwei’s opinion, ’I’d rather he just hit me than make me study more!’
“CAW CAW CAW…”
Just as Yu Yunwei was racking her brain to answer the questions, the cawing of a crow echoed from the sky.
“Yu Yunwei, Yu Yunwei.”
The crow flew to the summit of Blood Sin Peak, called out twice, dropped a letter, and then turned and flew away.
Xiao Mo took the letter and handed it to Yu Yunwei.
Yu Yunwei opened it and read.
As she read, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
“What is it?” Xiao Mo asked.
“I haven’t been on a mission for half a year. Baishi Hall has ordered me to go to Black Cloud Mountain tomorrow morning with a few fellow disciples to hunt Magical Beasts. We have to collect a certain number and grade of Demon Cores before we can return,” Yu Yunwei said happily.
Finished, she looked at Xiao Mo earnestly. “I have to go on this mission. It’s a Wandao Sect rule!”
Seeing how happy she was, Xiao Mo knew without even thinking. She was thrilled because a mission meant she could skip her lessons and was finally free, if only for a little while.
“I understand.” Xiao Mo nodded. “You may go tomorrow. But first, finish this exam paper. And when you return, your daily lessons will be an hour longer.”
Hearing Xiao Mo’s words, the smile on Yu Yunwei’s happy face instantly froze.
“Is there a problem?” Xiao Mo asked.
“No! There! Isn’t!”
Yu Yunwei huffily bit down on her brush pen and went back to the exam.
…
Early the next morning, Yu Yunwei bid farewell to Blood Demon and Xiao Mo.
“Master, Senior Brother, I’m leaving now.”
“Go on.” Blood Demon nodded.
“Remember, do not harm your fellow sect members without reason,” Xiao Mo instructed.
“I! Know!”
Yu Yunwei shot Xiao Mo a glare, thinking, ’And how many sect members have *you* killed?’
After her perfunctory reply, Yu Yunwei flew off in a hurry, like a bird escaping its cage.
“Yun Wei seems quite afraid of you,” Blood Demon said to Xiao Mo.
“More or less,” Xiao Mo said. After wiping down the Spirit-Collecting Blade a few times, he returned it to its sheath and stood up. “She’s probably just scared of getting beaten.”
“Where are you going?” Blood Demon asked, tilting his head.
“To be her guardian,” Xiao Mo said, starting down the mountain. “Just like you were for me.”
As Xiao Mo’s figure vanished from sight, Blood Demon stroked his chin and muttered to himself, “This disciple of mine… isn’t he a little too self-sufficient? He makes my job too easy.”
…
When Yu Yunwei arrived outside the Sect, the four other Cultivators in her party were already waiting.
“My apologies for being late, everyone.”
Yu Yunwei hurried forward and gave them a bow, looking perfectly well-behaved.
“It’s no trouble at all, Junior Sister. We only just arrived ourselves,” a man who looked to be in his early twenties said with a smile. “Since everyone’s here, let’s get going.”
“Alright, Senior Brother.”
Yu Yunwei flashed a sweet smile, her tone gentle and her expression utterly harmless.
In reality, however, Yu Yunwei had detected a hint of jealousy in the look he’d just given her.
’It’s to be expected.’
’They’re all so useless, only reaching Foundation Establishment in their twenties.’
’But I reached the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment at only eleven years old.’
’How could losers like them possibly not feel bitter about it?’
’I’ve met their type all too often.’
’They seem so friendly and understanding on the surface.’
’But when something actually happens, the first people they sell out are their own comrades.’
’Even that rotten senior brother of mine, Xiao Mo, is more sincere than them.’
’Then again…’
Yu Yunwei mused.
’Sure, that rotten senior brother Xiao Mo always raps my knuckles and threatens to draw his saber if I disobey him.’
’But at least he’s straightforward about it, without any pretense.’
’Damn it! I’m finally free of his aggravating face, why am I even thinking about him?’ Yu Yunwei shook her head, forcing the image of her rotten senior brother out of her mind.
On the way to Black Cloud Mountain, Yu Yunwei learned more about her companions.
The one with the highest Realm, Li Nan, was a Late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple from Luoye Peak.
The other two men were named Yan Liu and Qin Hai, both at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
The last member was a woman named Qu Xiaotao, a Female Cultivator from Hundred Flowers Peak. She had a lovely face and a fine figure. Dressed in particularly revealing clothes, she would occasionally flash a bit of fair, delicate skin, frequently drawing sidelong glances from the three men.
Disciples of Ten Thousand Flowers Peak only engage in dual cultivation for the first time after reaching Foundation Establishment.
This Qu Xiaotao had not yet dual cultivated and was still in the process of choosing a partner.
Therefore, all three men hoped to become her first partner.
How could Qu Xiaotao not know what was on their minds? She was using this fact to her advantage.
’Tsk. These people are an eyesore. Maybe I should just kill them all?’
Yu Yunwei thought to herself.
But soon, Xiao Mo’s words—”do not harm your fellow sect members without reason”—echoed in her mind, causing her to frown.
“What a pain!” Yu Yunwei muttered, biting her finger.
“Is something wrong, Junior Sister Yu?” Qu Xiaotao asked with a smile, moving closer to Yu Yunwei.
“It’s nothing, Sister Qu.” Yu Yunwei shook her head. “I was just thinking about my senior brother.”
Hearing Yu Yunwei bring up her senior brother on her own, Qu Xiaotao’s eyes lit up. “Junior Sister Yu’s senior brother… you must mean young Xiao Mo, right?”
“Oh? You’ve heard of my senior brother, Sister Qu?” Yu Yunwei asked, blinking innocently.
“How could I not have heard of him?”
Qu Xiaotao gave a seductive smile.
“Back when young Xiao Mo was practicing his Saber Technique, his Sword Qi would often land on our Ten Thousand Flowers Peak.
It even scared me a few times while I was bathing, you know.
And we invited young Xiao Mo to come have fun with us, but he never would. He’s so shy and cute.”
Yu Yunwei: “…”
“But who would have thought? After such a short time, young Xiao Mo, at the Cave Mansion Realm, managed to slay a Golden Core Realm expert with a single strike.
This is truly unheard of.
I even heard that quite a few Cultivators teamed up to kill your senior brother, but in the end, he went to them and killed them all first.
After that, no one dared to cross your senior brother again.”
As she spoke, Qu Xiaotao licked her lips.
“It’s a shame your senior brother is still so young. In a few more years, I’ll be sure to pay him a proper visit.”
’This shameless woman!’
Yu Yunwei’s brow furrowed.
’My rotten senior brother may be infuriating.’
’And I may wish I could just kick him off a cliff.’
’But he’s not someone the likes of you has any right to think about.’
’Just don’t give me a reason to kill you. Otherwise, you’ll be the first one I kill on Black Cloud Mountain.’
