The sun slowly climbed up the hillside, and the golden light spread over the mountains and the leaves of the orchids. The coldest part of the morning had passed, and the remaining moisture of the night was evaporated by the sun, making the world a bit hotter and hotter.

Xie Ziyou finally obeyed his master’s order and stood up to attend the appointment.

He dozed off along the way, and his eyes were almost closed. It was strange that this body belonged to a young expert of the seventh level, but he still felt sleepy because of the late nights and the exhaustion of his mind.

The library was built on the east side of the Academy. It was covered by secluded bamboos, and the winding path led to the secluded.

After going around a series of winding paths, the front suddenly opened up, revealing a wide open space, and a simple and unadorned vermilion building in the open space.

A tall and straight young man stood at the door. His long robe was neat and tidy, and his arrogant brows were similarly suffused with fatigue.

Seeing Xie Ziyou, the young man’s spirits were roused. He hurriedly went forward to greet him. “Junior Sister, what happened yesterday …”

Xie Ziyou’s head ached at the sight of this fellow.

Yesterday, he had been impulsive, and his persona had collapsed to varying degrees in front of the two of them. Although he didn’t regret his actions now, he still felt that it would be difficult to clean up the mess.

What could he do now? Pursue Wu Cong’s responsibility?

There was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was bound to the “Villain System”, not the “Help the Protagonist Beat the Drum and Cry Out for Injustice” system. No matter how angry and unwilling he felt for Guan Heng, there was no way he could stand up for the Protagonist in a sober and rational state.

Then he could only feign ignorance.

Xie Ziyou’s eyelids drooped slightly, and he sped up. He quickly brushed past the youth and headed straight for the door of the small building.

“Senior Brother, hurry up and go in. Master has been waiting for us for a long time.”

“Junior Sister Yi!” Wu Cong hurriedly followed close behind and reached out to grab Xie Ziyou’s shoulder. “Junior Sister, listen to me explain what happened yesterday!”

“… Senior Brother, an explanation is a cover up.”

“…”

Wu Cong wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only let go of his hand and watch as the graceful figure in front of him flickered and gracefully entered the door like a butterfly.

The youth sighed softly and helplessly followed. He thought of Guan Heng, who was imprisoned on the Reflection Cliff, and he secretly hated him.

He actually made his junior sister misunderstand him. Damn it!

He didn’t know why his master kept him. Wait, wait until he was no longer useful to his master. Then, he would definitely give him a taste of all the family’s secret torture techniques!

Inside the building, the light was excellent. The golden sunlight shone through the carved railings and windows, spilling over the rows of quietly standing bookshelves.

Tens of thousands of ancient books and secret texts were preserved with special techniques. Every day, there was no dust on the bookshelves. The air was filled with a faint scent of ink, complementing the bamboo forest outside the window.

The moment Xie Ziyou entered the room, he saw that a small door by the window had been opened with a thin crack.

Through the crack, he could see a large pear marble table. A piece of white crystal floated above it, emitting a faint glow.

Sure enough, it was like this again.

Xie Ziyou frowned slightly.

He had been in this world for two years, but he had never met his original master face to face, the so-called Most Powerful Dean.

This master of his was very mysterious. He went into seclusion every year, and his disciples were basically in a laissez-faire state. If it wasn’t for major matters, they wouldn’t even hear him speak a few words throughout the year.

Xie Ziyou respectfully saluted the sound transmission crystal on the table, and at the same time complained to the System, “How irresponsible!”

The System said, “Ah, ah, thank goodness it’s like this. It was only two years ago that it was convenient for you to move around. You You, do you want an old man with a white beard to watch over you like corn every day? ”

“You can’t say that,” Xie Ziyou recalled, “And he’s not an old man with a white beard. My original body met my master five years ago. He’s a middle-aged uncle who looks very dashing and heroic. Don’t tell me, he’s quite to my liking.”

“Uncle, You You, your taste isn’t that strong. Don’t you like Guan Heng’s sunny little pony?”

Xie Ziyou’s ears turned red, and he said angrily, “It’s not me, I don’t like Guan Heng, don’t talk nonsense!”

“I’m just talking about the type, I didn’t say you like Guan Heng.”

The System said slowly, “So sensitive, You You, you treat him differently. You’re already kissing, why don’t you just admit it? I’ll help you. ”

“… You’re so annoying, I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”

The person and the System were at war in their minds. In the study, a girl in a white dress was kneeling with her skirt tucked behind her back. She lowered her eyes quietly, looking elegant and virtuous.

As Wu Cong bowed to the crystal, he glanced greedily at Xie Ziyou.

In the end, he lowered his head and asked, “Master has summoned your disciple and Junior Sister here today. What’s the matter?”

“There’s nothing important to talk about. It’s just that we, master and disciple, haven’t been in touch for a long time. I want to see how you’re progressing …”

The crystal flickered quietly, and a brilliant white light spread out in circles, as if casting a brilliant sun in the room.

Dark gray lines spread out from the depths of the crystal, spreading out like vines and winding to the ground, forming a clear and mysterious pattern. It was very abstract, a bit like an ostentatious Mo orchid.

It was a special formation that supported long-distance communication. It was engraved on the mahogany table in the library. Using the crystal as a carrier, it enabled ultra-long-distance communication.

A low and indistinct voice came from the crystal, echoing in the spacious room.

Perhaps it was due to the voice transmission, but the voice in the crystal wasn’t clear, and it was occasionally overshadowed by rumbling noises. Xie Ziyou held his breath and listened attentively for a while. Not only did he feel a headache, but his ears also hurt.

With the noises ringing like this, where was his cheap master?

Although they cursed inwardly, the two of them respectfully reported their current cultivation levels.

The person across from the crystal laughed heartily. “Not bad, not bad!”

“When I wasn’t around, both of you worked very hard. I’m glad.”

“In this way, your Master will be able to leave your Little Junior Brother in your care.”

Junior Brother?

Xie Ziyou and Wu Cong froze at the same time.

Their master didn’t return all year round. Could it be that he found a mistress and secretly went into seclusion to give birth?

“Creak —”

Behind the desk, a secret door slowly opened.

A strand of black hair emerged first, followed by the angular profile of the youth. Vitality swirled around him, and together with the dazzling golden sunlight, they fell into a pair of star-like eyes.

Guan Heng closed the door and indifferently called out, “Senior Brother.”

Then, his gaze quickly focused on the girl sitting quietly. Light flashed in his eyes, and his brows curved. His lips were gentle as he said, “Senior Sister.”

The more perfunctorily he called out “Senior Brother,” the more affectionate he called out “Senior Sister.”

Xie Ziyou: … Holy shit.

He stared at the pair of bright and moist eyes and stood rooted to the spot. For a moment, he was at a loss for what to do. His head hurt, his teeth hurt, his eyes hurt … In short, his entire body felt uncomfortable, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

Someone felt worse than him.

Wu Cong’s eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. The youth suddenly stood up and slammed his palm on the desk. “Master! Are you old and muddle-headed?! ”

How could a lowly commoner like him be worthy of being on equal footing with him?!

“I’m not muddle-headed. I’ll always be young.”

A whining sound came from the other side of the crystal. It sounded like someone was gulping down water, followed by a long, comfortable sigh.

“In short, he’s Master’s new last disciple. Master still needs to continue seclusion. If anything happens to him, you senior brothers and sisters can take care of him. ”

The words “last disciple” caused Wu Cong’s eyes to redden. He glared at Guan Heng fiercely.

Xie Ziyou was also speechless.

He had heard of taking in last disciples, but he had never heard of taking in one in five years or three in ten. It was the same as the big-mouthed merchants in the market in his previous life who yelled “Last Day Clearance Sale”. This was simply a scam!

What upset Xie Ziyou even more was Guan Heng’s attitude.

Guan Heng’s attitude was clear. He wasn’t just going to lose his horse. He was simply exposing all of his secrets to the main character.

It was all over, it was all over!

How the hell was he supposed to play the villain?

Xie Ziyou’s mind was in a mess.

He hurriedly turned his head to avoid Guan Heng’s seemingly tangible gaze. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he pretended to be very interested in the bamboo outside the window.

What should he do now?

The System whispered, “You You, I think you can’t handle this world. Why don’t you stop your losses in time and lose 1000 points? How about we leave?”

Xie Ziyou didn’t even think about it. He subconsciously said, “No way!”

“Why?”

The System’s voice was soft and gentle. “Do you still remember when you first broke off the engagement? You stepped on the hem of your skirt and almost fell in front of the main character. Just because of this, you considered leaving. ”

“Now that the situation is like this, isn’t this the same as you falling flat on the ground and spinning 360 degrees in the air in front of the main character?”

“Why aren’t you considering leaving at all now?”

In that instant, Xie Ziyou’s eyes trembled. His dark blue pupils shone with a watery light. It was as if a heavy rock had been thrown into a calm lake, causing a ripple.

He gritted his teeth and grinded his teeth for a long time. Then, he slowly pretended to tidy up his collar. He answered the System without confidence, “I can’t bear to part with the initial investment …”

The System: “…”

What kind of time is this, and you’re still using the initial investment as a pretense?

The System was tired.

In this day and age, the System not only had to complete the mission, but also had to take care of the host’s mood and be the host’s psychological mentor.

It thought for a moment and said bluntly, “You You, are you reluctant to part with someone?”
