Chapter 61: Senior Brother, Brain Deduction
Ye Anping finally relaxed after watching Lei Wanjun and Wang Shouren leave. With this, his plan to use a borrowed knife to eliminate the Seven Kill Gate was completely successful. He and Pei Lianxue had also completely severed ties with “Wu You,” and all suspicion had been directed towards the Xuan Xing Sect. The next step was to wait for Feng Yu Die to infiltrate the Heavenly Mystery Fortress and bring back the Spirit Stones, then split the spoils with her. As for what would happen a few days later… he briefly deduced it in his mind.
“Sect Master of the Seven Kill Gate,” Ku Jiuchong, holding a glazed wine cup, embraced his two concubines and sat in the main hall of the Heavenly Mystery Fortress, enjoying the dancers’ performances. Suddenly, there was a loud “boom!” Ku Jiuchong mistook it for heavy rain outside and paid it no mind. However, a short while later, the banquet hall door was suddenly pushed open. A guard from the Heavenly Mystery Fortress rushed in shouting, “Sect Master, something bad has happened!” “What’s the rush? Can’t you see I’m watching beauties dance?” “That girl surnamed Feng is gone!” “What?! Then what are you waiting for? Go find her! Can a mere Qi Refining stage girl escape from my Heavenly Mystery Fortress?!” Immediately after, another guard rushed into the banquet hall, shouting, “Sect Master, something bad has happened!!” “What is it now?!” “Many white-clothed cultivators have suddenly appeared above the Heavenly Mystery Fortress, and one of them looks like a cultivator at the Deity Transformation stage!” “Ah?!” Ku Jiuchong looked terrified, but quickly calmed down. “What’s the panic?! This Heavenly Mystery Fortress was made by ancient cultivators and can block all Spiritual Sense probing. Even if a Void Return stage old monster comes, as long as we don’t open the doors, they absolutely can’t get in.” Just as he was speaking, a third guard ran into the banquet hall, exchanged glances with the other two guards for a moment, and then continued to shout, “Sect Master, something bad has happened!!!” “What is it now?!” Ku Jiuchong stomped his foot in anger, “What is it now?!” “The main gate of the Heavenly Mystery Fortress has suddenly opened for some reason.” At this moment, an idea popped into Ku Jiuchong’s mind: Could it be that girl surnamed Feng who did it? But then he doubted this thought: Impossible! How could that girl know the location of the Heavenly Mystery Fortress’s control mechanism? Even if she knew, she wouldn’t know how to operate it!
The details might be slightly different, but it should be more or less the same. With the deduction complete, Ye Anping relaxed, no longer thinking about the Seven Kill Gate. He decided to rest for a few days and then take his Junior Sister shopping. After that, he would begin preparing for her Foundation Establishment. Just then, the door was pushed open again, and Bai Yuexin, who had been sent away earlier, walked in. She sat by the bedside and comforted him, “Anping, don’t worry about the medical fees. I just saw Elder Wang pay for you. Just rest assured, I’ll come to take care of you every day after class.” Ye Anping’s lips parted slightly; he was momentarily impressed by her simple-mindedness. However, after thinking about it, he realized that staying at Doctor Zhou’s medical clinic had quite a few advantages. It was located on one of the inner peaks of the Xuan Xing Sect, and only Inner disciples could enter. While he was hospitalized these days, he could also sneak out for a stroll and check if his Junior Sister had been slacking off in her cultivation after he left. But he wondered which peak of the Xuan Xing Sect his Junior Sister was currently living on? Sigh, he should have asked earlier. He would inquire tomorrow. Ye Anping sighed, waved his hand, and said, “Senior Sister Bai, I’m going to sleep for a while. I’m tired.” “Wait! Drink your medicine first! Elder just came, and you haven’t finished your medicine yet?!” Ye Anping reluctantly opened his mouth, “… Ah—”
The sun set on the western mountains. The autumn wind swept across the fallen leaves, sending the apricot leaves on the ground dancing. On the high platform of Lin Yun, Xiao Yunluo wielded her long sword alone, the collar of her plain white dress soaked with sweat. For so many days, her mind had been replaying the scene of being attacked during the previous physical test. She didn’t want to admit it, but she had to. At that time, if Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue hadn’t held her back, she felt she would have been so scared that she would have cried. Xiao Yunluo had always believed that fighting others was not difficult. As long as she could use the skills she displayed during sparring with fellow disciples, defeating an early Foundation Establishment cultivator would not be a problem. However, the reality was that when facing that group of people, her mind became like a paste, and her body froze uncontrollably. She even forgot her sword techniques, which she had practiced to perfection, and failed to even hold onto her sword. Her Millennium Profound Stone Sword was snatched away by those people, and it still hadn’t been recovered. Thinking about it, if her mother knew how useless she had been then, and that she had lost that Millennium Profound Stone Sword, she would likely be utterly disappointed in her. —”The daughter of the Dan Yue Shang Xian is truly useless.” —”I heard she almost wet her skirt when facing the Seven Kill Gate thugs before?!” Of course, no one had actually said this about her. Yet, she could hear these voices as if they were real. Xiao Yunluo gritted her teeth and thrust her long sword forward with all her might. The sword tip, shaped like a dragon’s head, broke through the miasma in her mind and charged towards the trunk of the apricot tree beside her. “Hah!!” With a swish, the sword light flashed past the tree trunk, which split into two and fell to the ground with a crash. Xiao Yunluo retracted her sword, held her breath, and lowered her breathing. After wiping the sweat from her forehead, she formed a sword finger, flicked it, took out a bottle of pills from her Storage Bag, unscrewed the cap, and tilted her head, pouring it into her mouth. However, no pills fell out of the bottle. She shook the bottle. “The Spirit Gathering Pills are finished…” With a sigh, she put the empty bottle back into her Storage Bag, summoned her Flying Sword, stepped onto it, and headed towards the Pill Room on Central Peak. Spirit Gathering Pills are essentially the second hard currency among cultivators, with Spirit Stones being the first. Before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, any cultivator can take them to aid in cultivation and Qi Cultivation. Each month, every Inner disciple of the Xuan Xing Sect can receive a certain amount of Spirit Gathering Pills from the Pill Room. The higher their cultivation, the more they receive. Xiao Yunluo approached the counter, glanced at the face of the disciple on duty, and awkwardly asked, “Um, Senior Sister Shi… do I still have my quota for this month’s Spirit Gathering Pills?” The disciple, who was taking notes, looked up and saw Xiao Yunluo, her eyes filled with disbelief. “…” “Huh? My quota for Spirit Gathering Pills?” Xiao Yunluo thought she hadn’t heard clearly and repeated herself. Seeing the disciple staring at her with a dazed expression, she asked, “What’s wrong?” “Young Miss, what’s wrong with you?” “What’s wrong with me?” “Why are you suddenly asking about your quota?” the disciple tilted her head in confusion. “How would the Pill Room keep track of your quota?” “It was different before… Before, I was the Young Miss, and in a few more days, I’ll be an Inner disciple.” Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips and replied awkwardly, “If I take too much, people will gossip.” “Everyone knows you are the Young Miss of the Xuan Xing Sect, who would gossip about you?” “In short! Just record it! I remember that the quota for a Qi Refining stage disciple is ten Spirit Gathering Pills per month, right?” The disciple sighed softly, then pretended to make a note on the book in front of her, even reading it aloud, “Okay… Xiao Yunluo, you’ve taken ten Spirit Gathering Pills this month. Got it. I’ll get them for you.” “…Yes, thank you.” Then, the disciple went to the storage room behind her to get the pills for Xiao Yunluo. Xiao Yunluo leaned against the counter, looking around. Suddenly, she heard a group of disciples not far away talking about Willow Moon Lake, so she listened attentively. —”Just this afternoon, it seems the girl who broke Senior Sister Bai’s record during the sword test was abducted.” —”The silver-haired girl with the Heavenly Spiritual Root, right?” —”Yes, that’s her. Senior Brother Chen said that Willow Moon Lake was bombed into fish soup, and the Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect was also there and is now seriously injured… I think Elder Lei will probably explode with anger again and be banished to the border by the Sect Master…” Hearing this, Xiao Yunluo was slightly startled and quickly walked over, her eyes wide, and asked, “What?! What are you saying? Who was abducted? Who is seriously injured?”
On putting it on the shelves.
It’s on the shelves.
Tonight at 0:00, 10 chapters.
Welcome readers to support.
The author hasn’t slept much for three days to write the backlog for the shelved chapters. After uploading the backlog, I need to get some rest.
To be honest, when I started writing this book, I thought it would be easy, but as I wrote, I realized that the details were actually quite brain-burning.
The male protagonist currently has only one publicly known Golden Finger, which is his script. He is currently in charge of team coordination.
There is actually another Golden Finger that has already appeared in the free chapters. The male protagonist has not realized it yet, so I haven’t emphasized it. (It’s not about time, hardness, or length… those don’t count as Golden Fingers, those are from his workouts.)
Oh, and a reminder, everyone should exercise more. The author has had prostatitis for almost half a year. It got better for a while after exercising, but it flared up again while writing the book. It’s very scary when urinating, like a sprinkler.
————————————-
Then, I’ll answer some of the most frequently asked questions in the review section.
This book is a harem, but I haven’t fully decided how many girls will be taken in. I will definitely not take all of them. There are many female characters yet to come. If I were to take all of them, seven days a week, two a day wouldn’t be enough.
————————————-
—Regarding Feng Yu Die’s character design.
[I am thinking from the author’s perspective; the readers’ perspectives will definitely be different.]
As the original protagonist, she needs to transform and grow. So, if I give her a too-perfect character design at the beginning, I’m afraid I’ll get bored writing and get stuck. It would also easily turn the article into a “dual protagonist” matter, which is a major taboo in web novels.
A too-ordinary character design would also conflict with the Junior Sister.
So, after much thought, I decided to be a bit harsh and gave her a monkey-like character design, or more accurately, an early-stage “Turtle Immortal” design.
As a protagonist, she will still act like Sun Wukong on major issues.
Everyone, please watch the monkey with civilized eyes for the sake of her white hair.
————————————-
—Also, why set up a female protagonist?
[I am considering this from both the author’s and readers’ perspectives.]
First of all, this theme definitely needs a “protagonist.”
And this protagonist will definitely interact with the Junior Sister.
If I were to set up a male protagonist…
The only two possible approaches:
1. The Senior Brother kills the male protagonist and replaces him.
2. The Senior Brother treats the male protagonist as a victim or a subordinate.
Otherwise, there would be many awkward situations.
Then, if I were to set up a normal female protagonist.
It would either turn into a reverse harem like in female-oriented novels, with many men revolving around the female protagonist while also pursuing the Junior Sister…
Or, the word “protagonist” would lose its meaning, becoming an old theme from a few years ago.
Any of the above has problems.
Therefore, in the end, I still chose to set up a female protagonist.
————————————-
—Who is Xiyue?
This question can be found in [Chapter 5].
She… She is the male protagonist’s dream lover. She is Duan Yu’s immortal sister. She is our paper figurine. She is Dad’s Liu Yifei. She is Mom’s Li Yuchun. She is Grandpa’s Anita Mui.

—A question for old readers.
As usual, this book still has foxes.
————————————-
Finally, I ask for your first subscription, monthly tickets, and likes.
Thank you, readers.
Readers who are interested in BL might want to check out the author’s previous book, “Did the Immortal and Demon Couple Get Their Marriage Certificate Today?”
It’s a reverse transmigration urban daily life novel, a clear stream in the danmei genre.
The author rates the overall experience a 7/10.
Also, don’t read “The Liver Emperor and the Nine Beautiful Sword Sisters He Raised,” unless you are a masochist. That was the author’s first book and is a dark history.
