This novel is translated and hosted only on Bcatranslation.
“Host… Host…”
So noisy.
“Host, you need to wake up.”
In a daze, a sudden electric current surged through her entire body.
Ye Cong Xin’s groggy mind instantly cleared. A lingering sense of panic in her body compelled her to place her hand over her chest.
No gory wounds.
She was still alive.
“System! What is going on? How did they find out about our deal?!”
As soon as she came to her senses, Ye Cong Xin demanded answers from the system.She had been meticulous, leaving no room for exposure. The only person who could have possibly leaked the truth was Fang Cheng Lang. Yet, the system had sworn that Fang Cheng Lang would never utter a word about anything related to evil spirits. Trusting its assurance, she had let her guard down—only for disaster to strike.
What angered her most was that the system’s mistake had left her to bear the consequences alone.
She was furious.
The system, however, offered no explanation, maintaining a disconcerting silence.
Ye Cong Xin sneered, wanting to lash out with cutting words, but after a moment of hesitation, she held her tongue. Her fake death had allowed her to escape the Five Elements Dao Sect, stripping her of her identity as a prestigious disciple. From now on, her survival would rely heavily on the system.
She couldn’t afford to alienate her greatest ally out of momentary anger.
After a brief silence and confirming her body was unharmed, she shifted the conversation. “Where are we now?”
“Ding! Host is currently in the Southern Wasteland Mountains, a million miles away from the Five Elements Dao Sect. There are no signs of demonic beasts or cultivators within a hundred miles, ensuring the maximum safety of the host.”
Ye Cong Xin nodded in reluctant satisfaction.
The system clearly valued her safety. After all, if it hadn’t intervened twice, she would have perished at the hands of Quan Ye and Su Ming.
The thought of those two hateful faces made her grit her teeth in anger.
One day, she vowed, she would return to the Five Elements Dao Sect and make them regret their actions.
After venting her curses, her mood lightened, and she began contemplating her situation.
On reflection, leaving the sect wasn’t entirely a bad thing. Fear of exposing the system had kept her restrained and cautious within the sect. Now, unshackled, the entire cultivation world lay before her as a playground.
Just as she was envisioning her grand future, a low, groaning sound came from behind her.
She turned in shock.
“System, why is he here?”
“Ding! For the host’s safety, the system has extracted all of the host’s accumulated luck value in a special situation. As a result, a being of great fortune, Wang Sheng, has become the host’s best option moving forward.”
Only then did Ye Cong Xin realize her painstakingly hoarded luck value was completely depleted.
She was back to the impoverished state she had been in when she first struck her deal with the system.
“Argh!”
Clenching her fists, Ye Cong Xin pounded the stone wall in frustration.
She had thought being treated as Cui Jue’s stand-in for Yu Zhao was the most infuriating humiliation she’d ever endure.
But this… this was worse.
Luck was far more valuable than any man!
It was unbearable.
“You… Who are you?”
Ye Cong Xin froze mid-motion.
Turning back to Wang Sheng, she noticed his eyes were clear, though guarded, and he gave a slight shake of his head.
Her heart skipped with surprise and delight.
Wang Sheng wasn’t simple-minded anymore!
Her lost luck would be replenished soon enough!
“Wang Sheng, I’m your sister! Don’t you remember? I’ve been taking care of you this whole time.”
“Wang Sheng? Is that the name you gave me?” he asked, frowning.
Ye Cong Xin replied hesitantly, “Yes. When I found you, you had lost your memory and couldn’t remember anything, so I took the liberty of naming you. I’m sorry.”
Wang Sheng studied her carefully, as though weighing the truth of her words.
Suppressing her excitement, Ye Cong Xin curved her lips into a perfectly gentle smile, her tone soft as water. “Have you regained your memory? What’s your name?”
Before he could respond, she patted her head lightly and added with playful charm, “I got so excited, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Bai, and my name is Qing Qing.”
The name Ye Cong Xin could no longer be used, so she borrowed her mother’s surname and adopted her childhood nickname.
“Bai Qing Qing,” Wang Sheng repeated, his lips quirking into an inexplicable smile.
“My name is Wu Shao Zhen.”
Wu Shao Zhen, the soul returned through worms.
Their gazes met, and each harbored their own thoughts.
…
“Senior Sister Yu, I… I’m here to bid you farewell.”
Yu Zhao had barely calmed down the Dean of Mo Xin Academy when Ji Han Zhou, who had been all smiles with her the day before, suddenly announced his departure.
She couldn’t help but find it odd. “You’re leaving already?”
Ji Han Zhou’s expression was somber. “I just received a letter from the sect. The Black Tortoise Hall, which is under the Heavenly Sword Sect, has likely been annihilated. I must rush there to gather clues and uncover the culprit.”
Yu Zhao’s brow furrowed.
For top sects like the Five Elements Dao Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, small sects seeking their protection were common. Only promising ones were taken under their wing.
The Black Tortoise Hall, though inconspicuous, was one such subsidiary sect of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The Heavenly Sword Sect would never allow its extermination to go unanswered.
However, their elders would take time to arrive. Thus, Ji Han Zhou, being the closest, was dispatched to investigate.
Though reluctant to part, Ji Han Zhou’s resolve was firm. To him, the sect’s honor outweighed personal sentiment.
Yu Zhao understood and immediately offered to accompany him.
Ji Han Zhou was stunned by this unexpected boon and could hardly believe his ears.
“Senior Sister Yu, are you saying you’ll go with me?”
His shock caused him to unconsciously switch to formal language.
“Yes. I’ll inform the people at Tai Bai Academy, and we’ll leave immediately.”
Yu Zhao was even more enthusiastic than Ji Han Zhou and urged him to prepare.
Half an hour later, the pair stood at the academy’s gate, bidding farewell to Wei Ying and others before hastily departing.
Junior Brother Sha watched their figures disappear, marveling, “Senior Sister Yu has such boundless energy. No wonder she’s achieved heights unattainable for most at her age.”
The others nodded in agreement.
Yu Zhao had just sparred with Li Da, met with the Dean, and without resting, embarked on a new journey. Her dedication inspired admiration.
As the group praised her, they eventually dispersed.
The next day, the Dean of Mo Xin Academy finally received word that Yu Zhao had left. In fact, she had packed her belongings and departed almost immediately after leaving the bamboo house.
He was dumbfounded.
When he finally recovered, he erupted into curses.
“Yu Zhao! You little liar! Even I got duped! Just wait until I catch you!”
