After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Moreover, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect all have obvious signs of beast-like appearance, such as animal ears.

The person in front of them didn't have that, but they couldn't rule out the possibility that she was hiding it with magic. However, since Li Yunshang personally came forward to testify and vouched for her, they couldn't say anything.

"Since there's nothing else, let's continue." Seeing Luo Yanming lower his head and the surrounding disciples not saying anything, Li Yunshang nodded in satisfaction.

Speaking of which, he almost injured his senior brother just now. What if he had hurt his senior brother's face? Although his senior brother is wearing a fake face mask, well... he'll ask his mother to send this true disciple on a mission later.

The Luo family's secret technique prohibits losing one's virginity before mastery, right? Then infiltrating the Hehuan Sect would be quite good. I believe those demonic women of the sect would really like this Luo family genius and would pamper him.

The crowd paying their respects to Ye Feng continued to move slowly forward, arriving at Ye Feng's grave to begin their worship.

"Are you my senior brother's brother? I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry about what happened to my senior brother. He died protecting me. I'm so sorry, sob sob... Can I lean on your shoulder?"

Beside Xiao Yu, Li Yunshang's eyes darkened slightly as she began to act. A glistening tear gathered in her eye, and her soft voice carried a hint of sorrow, making her seem pitiful.

Seeing that Li Yunshang seemed very sad, Xiao Yu couldn't refuse, so he nodded.

Li Yunshang's feelings for Ye Feng are that deep? They even became Daoist partners?

What exactly happened in the days after I left? Xiao Yu was full of questions.

"Waaah... Senior brother, I'm so sorry. It was Yunshang's incompetence that led to her tragic death right before my eyes..." Li Yunshang shifted her feet and weakly threw herself into Xiao Yu's arms, sobbing softly.

The nascent hill pressed close to her, and she hugged him tightly, as if afraid that Xiao Yu would escape. Xiao Yu felt a deep sense of unease, but he just assumed that she was overwhelmed with grief and felt deeply guilty for seeing Ye Feng's relatives.

However, she simply believed that she was Ye Feng's brother without needing to prove anything.

"I'm so touched! Junior Sister Li is truly deeply in love with Junior Brother Ye!"

"What an enviable love story, what a pity."

The unsuspecting disciples nearby were all talking amongst themselves, surprised by Li Yunshang's infatuation and saddened by Ye Feng's death.

Otherwise, a young genius and a beautiful young woman would have become an enviable couple.

After the unrestrained crying, tears quickly soaked Xiao Yu's chest, leaving it wet. However, in a daze, Xiao Yu seemed to smell a faint onion scent.

It must be an illusion, right?

Li Yunshang released Xiao Yu, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "I'm sorry! I lost my composure. At first glance, I felt that you were very similar to my senior brother. For a moment, I thought he had come back, and I couldn't help myself."

Xiao Yu nodded in understanding. Although he didn't know why Li Yunshang was so convinced of her brother Ye Feng's identity, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to ask her for information.

So, after waiting a while and seeing that Li Yunshang had almost recovered, he spoke:

"I heard you brought my brother's body back, so you should know how he died, right? Who killed my brother?"

"Senior Brother Ye was killed by several evil cultivators from the Blood Demon Sect while protecting me." Li Yunshang's answer was similar to what Li Qingming said at the grave, except that the names seemed different.

"Um... I heard that my brother was killed by the Blood Demon Cult, not the Blood Demon Sect."

"Hmm... really? Oh, then I might be mistaken. Anyway, he was killed by the Demonic Cult."

Listening to Li Yunshang's words, Xiao Yu felt that she wasn't telling the truth. Was the Blood Demon Sect and Blood Demon Clan something she came up with on the spur of the moment? Don't blame everything on the demon sect if something goes wrong!

After he left, there was such danger behind him, and he was even chased by two unrelated demonic sects. Is this a scene in the plot?

Indeed, investigating Ye Feng's body is still the most reliable approach.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yu tried speaking to Li Yunshang again: "Actually, I have another matter to discuss with you. In our hometown, we believe in the soul returning to its homeland. After this memorial service, may I take my brother's body back to our hometown for burial?"

"Sure." To Xiao Yu's surprise, she agreed immediately.

"Eh"

Xiao Yu thought he would have to waste a lot of time arguing, but seeing the grand funeral being held around him, he realized that Li Yunshang valued Ye Feng highly, after all, they were the male and female leads.

"Really? Then after the ceremony, I'll..."

"Wait a minute, it's getting late, the roads are difficult to travel at night, and it's inconvenient for you to carry a large coffin."

"Why don't we rest at the Xuanling Sect for the night and set off tomorrow? The Xuanling Sect owes my senior brother a great debt, and I'd also like to spend one more night with him."

Li Yunshang lowered her head, looking like she was about to cry again, and seemed extremely reluctant to see Ye Feng leave.

Having come this far, Xiao Yu could only nod and agree outright.

However, Li Yunshang in front of him always made him feel that something was wrong. So, in the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, he secretly came to the grave, dug up Ye Feng's body, had the system scan it, and then immediately ran away.

In any case, his only goal from beginning to end was Ye Feng's corpse; Li Yunshang and the like were secondary.

As Xiao Yu thought to himself, he touched the Qiankun Escape Talisman in his palm and felt a little more at ease.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Welcome Back, Senior Brother

"As instructed by my junior sister, this is your room for tonight."

In the thick darkness of night, the true disciple Luo Yanming led Xiao Yu into a room, lit candles on the table, looked around, and then spoke to Xiao Yu behind him.

"Okay, thank you." Xiao Yu replied, looking around the room. It was alright; the room Li Yunshang had arranged for him was quite nice.

Judging from the style, this must be a room where only true disciples would live.

Xiao Yu thought to himself that he had lived in the Xuanling Sect for several years and was quite familiar with the accommodation arrangements for the disciples. Outer disciples were usually crammed into one room with seventy or eighty people, inner disciples were one to three, and true disciples were one person per room.

As Xiao Yu surveyed the room, Luo Yanming, who was standing in front of him, turned around, looked at Xiao Yu, and snorted coldly:

"Let me make this clear first, my room is right next door. Be careful, and don't even think about doing anything tonight. Although I don't know what kind of love potion you gave Junior Sister Li, I'm warning you..."

He paused, pointed two fingers to his bright eyes, then flipped his wrist and turned to face Xiao Yu, "I'll be watching you the whole time, always. Don't even think about trying anything funny. Just leave first thing tomorrow morning. By the way, what's your name?"

"Don't even mention you, I don't know why Li Yunshang believed I was Ye Feng's brother so easily," Xiao Yu said with a wry smile in response to Luo Yanming's words.

As for the name...

"My surname is Ye and my given name is Ba, meaning domineering. You can just call me by my nickname, Baba." Looking at the honest man in front of him, Xiao Yu suddenly had a whim and said in a joking manner.

"Daddy? That's weird. Daddy... wait, no, you son of a bitch." Luo Yanming muttered to himself, but soon realized what he meant, his eyes widened, and he glared angrily at Xiao Yu.

This kid is taking advantage of me!

"Alright, get out, I'm going to sleep." Before Luo Yanming could start to protest, Xiao Yu decisively pushed him out of the room and then closed the door.

Indeed, the soundproofing of the Xuanling Sect's true disciples' rooms is much better than that of the Tie family's. In order not to disturb the disciples' cultivation, in addition to the spirit gathering array, they even generously set up a soundproofing array. It can be seen that this Senior Brother Luo is very excited.

Speaking of soundproofing, Xiao Yu thought of Tie Yanran on Jumo Island and couldn't help but sigh. This matter hadn't been resolved yet, and he might be imprisoned in the Sword Prison when he returned.

If Brother Fan and the others come upon hearing the news and try to toughen him up like they did with Liu Shicheng, that would be disastrous. He doesn't want to be covered in sweat.

Needing to think of an apology, Xiao Yu turned his attention to the system within his body: "System, are you here? Do you have any breast enhancement products?"

【…】

For a moment, even the system was speechless at Xiao Yu's words. It was a system that assisted the protagonist in improving his strength. What kind of elixirs or divine weapons did he want to improve his cultivation? Improving the protagonist's strength was one thing, but breast enhancement? What protagonist defeats enemies with their breasts, or suffocates people with their giant breasts?

After a long silence, the system's distinctive mechanical voice finally sounded: [Yes, Breast Enhancement Pill, 100 points. Effects vary from person to person.]

"There really is!" Xiao Yu was surprised. He had just asked casually, but then, as if remembering something, he asked the system in his mind, "How many points do I have left?"

[Earth-遁地符×2, Breath-Concealing 符×1, Military Entrenching Shovel×1. The Earth-遁地符 costs 200 points, the Breath-Concealing 符 costs 200 points, and the Military Entrenching Shovel costs 20 points. You have currently spent 420 points, starting with 500 points, and have 80 points remaining.]

50 points... I don't think I can afford it right now.

"How do I earn points?"

[Complete tasks or exchange spirit stones. One low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for 1 point, a mid-grade spirit stone for 10 points, and so on, up to 10000 immortal spirit stones.]

This exchange rate is a bit unfair. Before, he finally got 100 points of high-grade spirit stones.

In other words, the talisman I have now is worth one high-grade spirit stone?

Xiao Yu looked at the Qiankun Escape Talisman in his palm and suddenly felt it getting hot. This was a high-grade spirit stone!

"That mission..."

The quest has not yet been triggered as no key plot characters or specific events have been encountered.

Fine.

However, it's impossible for him to complete any tasks. The system has identified him as the protagonist, so the tasks are probably related to him.

Ha, a protagonist? He wouldn't even be a dog.

Xiao Yu opened the money bag that Sun Qian had left him. It seemed that he had found a rich woman and was now wealthy. Inside were more than fifty mid-grade spirit stones, not the twenty he had spent on selling underwear.

They're quite wealthy; they can afford it.

Hopefully, by the time they returned, Tie Yanran's anger had subsided considerably.

As Xiao Yu thought to himself, he opened the window, looked at the sky outside, and thought, "Hmm... it's time."

It's time to get to work. Although it's a bit early, some disciples who like to stay up late to cultivate immortality may still be awake. But today, Li Yunshang's attitude towards him is a bit subtle, or rather, not quite normal. Xiao Yu thinks it's better to get started sooner rather than later.

Thinking this, Xiao Yu used the talent of his natal flying sword, borrowed the moonlight streaming in through the window, and created a mirror image that looked similar to himself. He then projected it onto the bed, covered it up tightly with a blanket, so that as long as people didn't get close, they wouldn't be able to see any flaws.

Xiao Yu habitually wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. Nighttime was his domain, especially during the full moon.

After tidying up the house again, he pushed open the door and rushed out. Under the hazy moonlight, Xiao Yu's figure disappeared into the colorful night scene.

The moonlight shifted slightly, and a few scattered clouds just happened to obscure the clear moonlight, making the night scenery even dimmer. It was only a few minutes after Xiao Yu left.

In the thick darkness of the night, a slender figure carrying something arrived at the front of the house. She knocked on the door, waited for a while, and when there was no response, she simply pushed the door open and went inside.

……

……

Wow~

A gentle night breeze caressed his face as Xiao Yu's agile figure darted back and forth in the shadows of the buildings, dodging several couples who were out strolling the streets late at night instead of going home.

"I heard that recently a thief from the Thieves' Guild impersonated one of our elders and was discovered by the sect leader, so he was imprisoned. If he escapes tonight, it will be very dangerous. Junior sister, I'm really worried about you walking alone at night. Why don't you stay here with me tonight? Don't go anywhere else."

"Ugh, senior brother, stop scaring me."

……

"Junior sister, be careful on your way back tonight. Our Xuanling Sect has been a bit unsettled lately. Today, when I went to pay my respects to my senior brother, I was beaten up by some people who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The underwear I was planning to burn for my senior brother was also lost."

"What! You lost your underwear? Then let's break up."

"Ah?! Junior sister... Junior sister, don't go, let me explain... Junior sister..."

"No!!!!!"

……
