Blame The Villain For Being Too Beautiful

at Ning Jing Yu and the other disciples.

Song Xu Yi met her gaze briefly before turning away calmly, while Ning Jing Yu didn’t even acknowledge her presence.

As Song Xu Yi glanced back, she found that the Xun Sect’s group had vanished without a trace.
Most spectators had left the venue after the end of the Immortal Sect Competition, and only a handful of inquisitive onlookers remained to witness the winners’ emergence from the secret realm with their divine weapons.

To Song Xu Yi’s surprise, Ning Jing Yu had stayed behind and watched attentively as each Foundation Establishment Group winner emerged from the secret realm with their prize.

After the last winner stepped out, Ning Jing Yu turned to Song Xu Yi and said, “I owe you a weapon for not letting you win this time.”

Before Song Xu Yi could respond, Ning Jing Yu continued speaking.

“Wait until the day you successfully condense your Golden Dan,” said Ning Jing Yu, her eyes lowered as she looked at Song Xu Yi.
She noticed the slight dishevelment of Song Xu Yi’s hair under the setting sun, and felt an inexplicable anticipation for her disciple’s future appearance at the Golden Dan stage.
Ning Jing Yu couldn’t help but rub the top of Song Xu Yi’s soft hair once more before continuing, “I will take you to a place where you can find divine weapons that are ten times better than these!”

Upon returning to the Xuan Shu Sect, Song Xu Yi immediately noticed that the Sect Leader’s complexion had become haggard.
It was clear that she was aware of what had transpired in the competition.
Although the Sect Leader wished to compensate Song Xu Yi for a weapon, Ning Jing Yu refused, claiming that she had already made other arrangements.
She then took Song Xu Yi back to Fallen Cloud Peak.

From that point on, time seemed to pass slowly once again, with no discernible differences from before.

Ning Jing Yu had noticed that Song Xu Yi had become increasingly attached to her lately.
She would often catch her gazing at her with a look that made her cheeks flush, and she had even started to create strange and peculiar dishes to please her.
Song Xu Yi had also bought her books about communication…

Despite all of this, Ning Jing Yu was content with their life together.
She felt a deep sense of peace and happiness whenever she was with Song Xu Yi.
Even the dull and mundane world around them seemed brighter and more enjoyable.

Time flew by, and before she knew it, Song Xu Yi was on the cusp of advancing to the Golden Dan stage.
It was then that she realized that she had been living in the Xuan Shu Sect for over ten years!

As per Xuan Shu Sect’s rules, anyone who successfully builds a foundation within ten years can leave the mountain for cultivation.

Leaving the mountain means entering the world, and the sect believes in intervening only when necessary, working for the welfare of the people.

In the last two years, the number of demonic activities has increased inexplicably, and the sect has been tasked with more missions to eliminate them.

Despite being out of touch with the system for ten years, Song Xu Yi has not forgotten her mission.
With the recent surge in demonic activity, which echoes the original plot outline, she feels compelled to act.
Hence, she plans to use her mission to go down to the Song family and investigate the situation.

Ning Jing Yu had chosen not to descend from the mountain.

Concerned that her old wounds from battling the Demon Lord might have resurfaced, Song Xu Yi had urged her to enter seclusion, promising to wait until her return.

Ning Jing Yu reluctantly agreed, but just before disappearing behind closed doors, she coughed and mentioned casually that she would only be gone for half a month.

Song Xu Yi noted the timeline, but had already planned to return to the mountain as soon as possible.
She had noticed that Ning Jing Yu had been preoccupied with gardening and cooking lately, and rarely went into seclusion, making this extended period of seclusion a cause for concern.

Song Xu Yi departed from the mountain and found a mission close to the Song family.
During her journey, she arranged to meet with two other traveling disciples nearby the mission before returning to the Song family.

Upon her arrival, she discovered that the Song family had strictly followed her instructions and that the female protagonist, Song Xi, had grown into a young lady.
Song Xu Yi ensured her family had additional self-protection tools, spent one night at home, and then departed to the agreed meeting place with the other disciples.

Their destination was a distant town where several young girls had mysteriously vanished without a trace.
The Xuan Shu Sect spies suspected that demons were responsible, and they contacted the sect to request a response.

Upon arriving at the town, Song Xu Yi encountered a stern-faced disciple who looked at her intently before speaking in a soft voice, “Zhao Wuyou is also present and has brought along several cultivators with exceptionally high cultivation levels.”

Song Xu Yi was taken aback.

Despite having secluded herself on Fallen Cloud Peak for several years, Song Xu Yi had still managed to hear snippets of news about Zhao Wuyou.
For instance, after her spiritual root was damaged, her daoist heart had also been compromised.
She had then resorted to unorthodox cultivation methods and become an insatiable predator of women, even resorting to forcefully abducting mortal women.
Zhao Wuyou had become a menace to the entire world of immortal cultivation.

However, despite Zhao Wuyou’s heinous deeds, she remained unscathed in the immortal world thanks to the protection of Zhao Lin.

In search of a woman who had escaped from the Xun Sect and fled to the nearby area, Zhao Wuyou arrived in the town where Song Xu Yi was.
Knowing the danger of a possible encounter with Zhao Wuyou, Song Xu Yi followed the advice of the disciples she met and hid while they dealt with the demon haunting.

However, things took an unexpected turn when Zhao Wuyou suddenly vanished, and the bodies of the two disciples who had been with Song Xu Yi were discovered at the scene…
