The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix – Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Senior Brother, Splitting into Three Groups

Deep autumn has arrived, and the weather is gradually turning cold.

The golden apricot trees in Xuan Xing Sect now have few leaves left on their branches. Several mountains have become bare, and the disciples have also put on thicker autumn clothing.

Ever since Ye Anping bought three sets of men’s clothing for Feng Yu Die and had his junior sister go and praise her, she went directly to the sect’s Painting Clothes Hall and bought two suits of male disciples’ sect uniforms, wearing them every day.

Under Pei Lianxue’s instigation, Feng Yu Die adapted for half a month and gradually became adept at cross-dressing. Although her actions and demeanor were still not comparable to demonic cultivators who were proficient in shapeshifting or cultivators skilled in disguise, as long as no one touched her chest, she would most likely be mistaken for some kind of hermaphroditic monster.

Because of this, Elder Qin of Tianyun Peak often reprimanded her:

“A girl should have the demeanor of a girl. You’re wearing this strange attire, go kneel on bamboo strips!”

Elder Qin was already quite annoyed by her “hooliganism,” and now he had found a reason. So, every time she attended class, he would make things difficult for her—making her carry several hundred pounds of weight when practicing swordplay, locking her in the Spirit Gathering Array for three days and three nights without releasing her, and so on…

However, by chance, Feng Yu Die’s aptitude was nearly heaven-defying. After about a month and a half of this treatment, she directly reached the Mid Foundation Establishment stage, successfully meeting all the conditions Ye Anping had set for his chosen candidate.

One day, Ye Anping went to the Central Peak to buy a newspaper and saw a piece of news in the corner—”The Sect Master of Moon Shadow Sword Sect in the Southern Domain, Yun Tianchong, will emerge from seclusion after the New Year.”

This news was the bell that signaled the beginning of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect incident.

As he expected, the timeline of the plot had deviated significantly from the game.

So, after the evening class, he asked his junior sister and Feng Yu Die to meet him in the bamboo forest next to the Three-Bay House.

***

In the bamboo forest next to the Three-Bay House, the autumn wind rustled the leaves with a “sou sou” sound.

Ye Anping, wearing his sect uniform and holding his spirit sword, closed his eyes and slowly lowered his stance in front of a green bamboo stalk.

“Calm your mind, gather your Qi, calm your mind, gather your Qi…”

*Swish—*

A piercing sword cry echoed from the center of the bamboo forest.

Ye Anping’s spirit sword seemed to disappear for an instant, leaving behind a silver crescent arc in front of him.

The bamboo in front of him seemed to complain, emitting mournful cries.

*Crack, crack—*

Although Ye Anping appeared to have swung the sword horizontally, after the sound, the bamboo stalk, nearly ten feet tall, was split vertically down the middle into two halves, bending to the left and right.

Both his “Inquiring Sword Art” and his junior sister’s “Leaf Shadow Sword Art” undergo a qualitative change at the fifth level.

“Leaf Shadow Sword Art” can manipulate all things as spirit swords. After the fifth level, one sword can be transformed into ten swords. If cultivated to perfection, a sword strike would be like falling blossoms filling the sky, making it impossible to dodge.

“Inquiring Sword Art,” on the other hand, can make the sword’s edge imperceptible to others. At the fifth level, a “horizontal cut” can become a “vertical chop,” and a “stab” can become a “block.” If cultivated to perfection, one can stand with hands behind their back and unleash thousands of sword lights.

Looking at the bamboo in front of him, which was cut horizontally but split vertically in half, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hoo—”

He had finally managed to catch up at the last moment and successfully cultivated “Inquiring Sword Art” to the fifth level.

This fifth-level “Inquiring Sword Art” was also something he needed for his plan.

Back then, his junior sister was practicing at Hundred Lotus Sect, and while splitting piles, she directly comprehended the fourth level of “Leaf Shadow Sword Art.” Then, inexplicably, she practiced it to the fifth level in a month or two.

He, however, spent nearly a year to advance from the third to the fifth level.

Although it wasn’t slow, compared to his junior sister’s talent, he felt ashamed.

Perhaps it was only with Feng Yu Die’s destiny that he was able to achieve this.

If he hadn’t ridden Feng Yu Die’s coattails, he would probably have only recently reached Foundation Establishment and would be incapable of handling the Moon Shadow Sword Sect matters.

“I really should thank her.”

*Swoosh, swoosh— Swoosh, swoosh—*

The sound of two pairs of feet treading on dry leaves came from behind. Ye Anping retracted his spirit sword and looked in the direction of the sound.

Feng Yu Die was wearing a majestic attire today, resembling an emperor’s dragon robe. Ye Anping didn’t know where she got it from. Upon seeing it, his facial features seemed to scrunch together: What kind of outfit is this?

Pei Lianxue, walking beside Feng Yu Die, wore a smiling expression, but Ye Anping could tell that his junior sister was merely forcing a smile.

Just as Ye Anping thought—

Pei Lianxue was extremely annoyed right now!! This “Second Fool” had been too bothersome lately!!

Senior Brother asked her to appease this “Second Fool” and help her adapt to wearing men’s clothing. But after a few praises in the past, this “Second Fool” had gotten used to it.

Every morning, the first thing she did was change into men’s clothes and ask Pei Lianxue if she looked good.

So annoying!

So annoying!!!

However, upon seeing Senior Brother waiting ahead, she immediately stopped being annoyed and quickly walked over.

“Senior Brother, have you been waiting long?”

“No… I was practicing swordplay for a while.”

Ye Anping felt that he might have let his junior sister assist him too much. He pouted and looked at Feng Yu Die, who was shining golden beside them, feeling a bit of eye-strain.

Feng Yu Die had normal taste when it came to skirts, but her taste in men’s clothing…

Never mind… The plan is more important.

“Hoo—”

Ye Anping exhaled softly and led the two to sit down in the nearby pavilion.

As soon as Feng Yu Die sat down, Xiao Tian, who had been hiding in her forehead, emerged. However, after glancing at Feng Yu Die’s attire, its face darkened. It flew to Ye Anping’s head and began kicking him repeatedly, complaining indignantly:

“Young Master Ye!! Look at the mess you’ve made!! My adorable Yu Die, what have you turned her into? This neither male nor female appearance… and she’s developed a preference for men’s clothing!! Give me back my Yu Die! Waaahhh— Give me back my adorable Yu Die!!”

“… …”

Ye Anping admitted he was in the wrong, but he ignored it.

Anyway, once things were settled, his junior sister could just say, “I still think you look better in a skirt,” and she would get over this habit.

It was a matter of obedience and loyalty.

After organizing his thoughts, Ye Anping got straight to the point:

“Senior Sister Feng, pack up shortly. We need to go to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect in the Southern Domain.”

“Ah?”

“There’s spirit stone to be earned.”

“Oh!” Feng Yu Die snapped her fingers and hugged her chest with a nod of understanding, “Got it, tell me what we need to do?”

You’re not even haggling with me now and just agreed? … Ye Anping pouted and replied:

“You need to gain the trust of the second young lady of Moon Shadow Sword Sect, Yun Jiujiu.”

“Trust… How do I do that?”

“I can only tell you about Yun Jiujiu’s preferences, personality, and other related things.”

“Be more specific?” Feng Yu Die pouted, “Didn’t you explain the previous matters in great detail?”

“Most of the time, you’ll have to improvise. My junior sister and I can’t keep an eye on everything that happens on your end. We have our own troubles to deal with…”

“Mmm… Then tell me more.”

Hearing this, Xiao Tian realized: “Young Master Ye, you had Yu Die wear men’s clothes, was it for this matter?”

Ye Anping hesitated for a moment and said:

“I will go to the eldest young lady of Moon Shadow Sword Sect, Yun Yiyi.”

Then he looked at Pei Lianxue and said:

“Junior sister will go to the third young lady, Yun Xi.”

“Okay!!”

Ye Anping looked at her with some concern:

“Junior sister, this time, please don’t just say okay! This time, Senior Brother won’t be by your side. You’ll have to consider things yourself…”

“Ah, okay…”

“However, I will prepare some tokens. The matter with Yun Xi will be simpler.”

“Mmh! Okay!”

Ye Anping sighed and finally said:

“After arriving at Moon Shadow Sword Sect, the three of us won’t be able to meet constantly. So, I will set a location where we will meet every three days. I have also prepared some code words to prevent us from being exposed by being followed. I will explain the specific details along the way.”
