Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

When Luo Tian returned from the main hall, he found the atmosphere a bit tense.

"What happened while I was away?"

No.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang skipped happily to Luo Tian's side.

"They just miss their senior brother."

She grabbed Luo Tian's arm and blinked her eyes curiously.

"What did the sect leader say when he summoned our senior brother?"

"It's nothing serious. The sect leader was just worried about us, so he gave us some instructions before we went down the mountain."

Luo Tian forced a smile.

This is true.

Empress Xuan summoned him over only to learn that everyone was preparing to descend the mountain. She then instructed Luo Tianfan to be careful in all matters, take good care of the others, and not to act rashly.

If I had to pinpoint the difference, it would be the slightly cold and stiff attitude.

Despite the smile on her lips.

Yet, his eyes revealed a businesslike detachment.

This change all stemmed from Luo Tian's formal engagement to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Unfortunately, now is not the time to consult with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"Senior brother, just now Junior Sister Yaoguang was arguing with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi."

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan spoke.

These words were spoken.

Luo Tian immediately felt his arm tighten slightly.

"Even if it offends others, I don't want to hide it from my senior brother."

He was met with a glare from the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan didn't take it to heart and instead gave Luo Tian a sweet smile.

"Junior Sister Yaoguang may be jealous of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and spoke rudely to her, but the Holy Maiden of Yaochi is also suspected of provoking Junior Sister, so Senior Brother, please forgive Junior Sister."

"What right do you have to spout nonsense here!"

The Holy Maiden Yao Guang huffed and puffed.

At this time.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi chuckled softly.

"Brother Luo Tian is truly beloved by his fellow disciples. Just now, it was only because the Holy Maiden Yao Guang felt that I had stolen Brother Luo Tian away that she was being adorably jealous."

"Hehe... I'm sorry to make you laugh, Holy Maiden. My little junior sister is indeed both clingy and adorable."

Luo Tian then gently patted the head of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang.

The matter was thus easily dismissed.

However, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang did not appreciate it.

She stared intently at the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, growing increasingly displeased with her.

However, the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan gazed at Luo Tian with deep affection in front of everyone else.

"Thank you, senior brother, for forgiving junior sister Yaoguang on my behalf."

"..."

……

In the days that followed.

Luo Tian often went down the mountain with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi to search for fragments of ancient treasures.

The Holy Maidens of Yao Guang and Tian Xuan also always come to cause trouble.

Sometimes, it is also at the request of the Palace Master of Yuheng.

Take the Jade Balance Saintess down the mountain for training.

In this way, Luo Tian gradually collected some fragments.

Some of the fragments were obtained by other cultivators.

Luo Tian did not forcibly take it.

After all, he's not some kind of destined male protagonist who burns, kills, and plunders.

The only way is to leverage one's connections and reputation to exchange fragments of the relic from others.

There are also many monks who admire him.

She offered him the fragments voluntarily.

Of course, Luo Tian wouldn't take it for free, so he would usually exchange it for other rare and precious materials.

This also encouraged many cultivators to exchange the fragments for treasures from Luo Tian.

In the course of time...

Luo Tian not only received strong support from many people.

Moreover, his reputation grew day by day.

"So why are villainous characters more popular than the protagonists of Destiny's Fate?"

Luo Tian was speechless.

Instead, Ye Chen took his place.

To collect fragments of ancient relics.

Right now, they're probably still locked in a life-or-death struggle with the various prestigious sects.

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​now that you've collected so many fragments, you should know what they are, right?"

"Although we are currently facing a bottleneck, we have a general outline."

Luo Tian told the truth.

He visited the sacred Yaochi as usual to discuss matters with the Yaochi Holy Maiden.

"A bottleneck... So, fellow Daoist, you'd like to invite me to investigate the locations of the other fragments together?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gave Luo Tian a deep look.

Luo Tian shook his head.

"The matter of the fragments is not urgent. I came to see the Holy Maiden to discuss matters of the heart."

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​are you referring to the Fairy of the Misty Realm, or the Saintess of Creation?"

"You know the Holy Maiden, right? I have no connection with either of them. It's just that busybodies are spreading rumors and causing trouble."

However, the Misty Immortal Sect and the Sacred Land of Creation also found fragments of ancient relics.

In order to obtain the fragment, Luo Tian had no choice but to visit them in person.

The other party intends to befriend Luo Tian.

Therefore, the Fairy of the Misty Sky and the Holy Maiden of Creation personally received them.

Somehow, the rumor got out that Luo Tian was having an affair with the two of them.

"Although it's a rumor, I'm already engaged to Brother Luo Tian, ​​so it's hard not to feel sad to hear about it."

"Then I apologize to the Holy Maiden."

Luo Tian smiled wryly, playing along with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

They chatted and laughed for a while.

The two then returned to their main topic.

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​people always change. More than thirty years have passed, and even for us cultivators, our state of mind and feelings may change, let alone the considerable setbacks we have suffered during that time."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gently poured tea for Luo Tian.

"Take the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang for example, Brother Luo Tian still sees her as she was more than thirty years ago. Have you ever considered that the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang is no longer the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang of the past?"

"Of course I know that Junior Sister Yaoguang has grown up, otherwise I wouldn't be here discussing this with the Holy Maiden."

"No, I think Brother Luo Tian, ​​you don't know enough."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi spoke softly.

"The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang likes Brother Dao, and therefore is willing to fulfill Brother Dao's wish to be herself again in front of Brother Dao."

"What suggestions does the Holy Maiden have?"

Luo Tian pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea.

He had long known that the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang only acted coquettishly in front of him.

There is actually another hidden side.

In my humble opinion, if one wants to sincerely respond to the feelings of others, one must first face their true heart.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi looked down at her reflection in the teacup.

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​why don't you go and find out the true nature of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang?"

"As I thought, thank you for the reminder, Holy Maiden."

"Brother Dao, there's no need for such formality. This is merely my personal opinion, and it may not be correct. I only hope that you won't blame me later."

"How could I blame you? Whatever the outcome, I will inform the Holy Maiden."

"Then I will await Brother Luo Tian's good news."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled.

As people leave, the tea grows cold.

"Brother Luo Tian will probably be disappointed..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi murmured to herself.

Then, skillfully, he took away the remaining half cup of tea from Luo Tian.

Looking at Luo Tian's teacup.

She raised the corners of her mouth, her thin lips slightly pouting.

The nonchalant demeanor he displayed in front of Luo Tian had been dispelled by the sunset.

"Since the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang insulted me, let me get my little revenge..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi did not deceive Luo Tian.

She even hoped that Luo Tian would understand her true feelings.

The problem is...

There's a trap here.

Luo Tian misunderstood the true nature of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang was no pushover; otherwise, she wouldn't have made such a name for herself in the past few years.

In the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Once Brother Luo Tian discovers the true nature of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang.

This will inevitably result in a huge gap.

The Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

She can no longer cling to Brother Luo Tian and act coquettishly like she does now.

By then.

It was a victory for her, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

……

When Luo Tian visited the sacred land of Yaochi again.

It has been a month since then.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was still receiving Luo Tian in her boudoir.

"Brother Luo Tian has finally arrived. I presume there's already been a result?"

"Heh...you really can't hide anything from me..."

Luo Tianqian laughed a few times.

Thinking of the true nature of the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"Sigh... Junior Sister Yaoguang has changed more than I imagined. We can't go back to our old relationship as senior and junior brothers. We really can't treat her like a child anymore..."

"Perhaps I should apologize to Brother Luo Tian..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi personally poured tea for Luo Tian.

Thinking that Luo Tian might be depressed because of this, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

She should have known long ago that Luo Tian favored the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

But he acted out of personal feelings.

It damaged the precious bond between the two of them, who were like brothers and sisters.

But love is so blind.

Even though I feel sorry for Luo Tian.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi couldn't help but applaud the plan.

This allowed Luo Tian and the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang to confront their true feelings, while also eliminating a troublesome rival for himself.

All that's left is to comfort Brother Luo Tian.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled with pursed lips.

I was just about to speak.

"Apologize? Why should I apologize? I'm more than grateful to the Holy Maiden."

Luo Tian replied without hesitation.

"grateful?"

Now it was the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's turn to be puzzled.

"But if I hadn't suggested it, Brother Luo Tian wouldn't have ruined his relationship with the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang..."

"Uh... I didn't mess it up, did I... In a sense, my relationship with Junior Sister Yaoguang is actually better."

"W-what?"

"Well, thanks to the Holy Maiden's advice, I learned about Junior Sister Yao Guang's true nature. Although she's a bit difficult to deal with, she's still my little junior sister after all..."

"..."

"Anyway, thank you so much... Saintess?"

"..."

"Wait, the tea is almost full! Holy Maiden, are you listening?"

"..."

"A saint? A saint?!!"
