My Text-Based Cultivation Game

If you're not my buddy, who are you?

Yunyang was startled when a person suddenly jumped out of the screen.

Who is this?

Hmm, does this look slightly familiar?

Well, Yunyang has already forgotten about Senior Brother Zhao, who once recruited him.

Yunyang is truly sorry that he has a hard time remembering these generic-looking NPCs.

Faced with this vaguely familiar outer disciple who suddenly appeared, you truly couldn't remember who he was.

"Who are you?"

Well, as expected, he doesn't recognize himself anymore.

Zhao Jinyu sighed and explained, "Didn't we meet at Spirit Medicine Peak a few months ago?"

Spirit Medicine Peak?

Yunyang thought back for a moment, and realized it was when he first entered the Xuantian Sect and ate the spirit insects, right?

Back when I was on Spirit Medicine Peak, I visited every spirit field in order to eat spirit insects. I met all the Xuan Tian Sect disciples who were on duty guarding the spirit fields on Spirit Medicine Peak. Who remembers who you are?

"The one who initially tried to win you over... ah, no, the one who wanted to introduce you to a true disciple," Zhao Jinyu reminded him again.

Oh ~

Upon hearing this, Yunyang remembered.

You recalled your memories of this outer disciple of the Xuantian Sect, and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this outer disciple hadn't come to drag you into the kitchen to steal food.

But what did he mean by "getting into big trouble"?

[You choose to ask this...this outer disciple whose name you don't know, what "getting into big trouble" means.]

"Junior Brother Yun, you are unaware of the truth. Do you know the background of those three people you fought today?"

Oh? Background?

Yunyang smiled in front of the screen, and I knew this matter wouldn't end like this.

Next up is the classic fantasy novel plot of beating the child and then the old one comes to the rescue, right?

I know this one well!

Zhao Jinyu was a little puzzled. She had made a show of bluffing and even used some tricks to exaggerate her emotions, so why did Junior Brother Yun not show the slightest sign of tension or panic on his face?

Not only is there nothing, but... there's even some expectation?

It's like being eager to try out a magical artifact that has just been given to you by your master.

No, what's there to look forward to?

"Ahem!" Zhao Jinyu gathered his thoughts and spoke again, "Junior Brother Yun, you don't know this, but those three people are actually lackeys of an inner disciple. Their presence here today is most likely because that inner disciple has taken a liking to your Daoist partner!"

Daoist partners?

Who?

Su Muxue?

Yunyang swiped the screen to shift the view to Su Muxue and poked her cheek.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Seeing that a dialogue had appeared, Yunyang continued to click down.

He said we're a couple.

"..." Su Muxue turned her head to the side, "Then don't poke my face."

Isn't it because this game can only trigger this one action?

Just poke!

Su Muxue rolled her eyes. How did Yunyang develop the habit of poking his own face in this life?

"Cough cough!!"

Zhao Jinyu coughed twice, speechless. Could you two please stop showing affection at this time?

I'm so embarrassed!

And isn't there something wrong with your focus? I'm talking about something very serious. Why is your focus on the word "Daoist couple"?

You're acting like you two don't have this kind of relationship.

You two entered Xuantianmen together, lived together, and were always a couple. Now you're pretending to be innocent in front of me?

Are you pretending to be something you're not (a vulgar expression in the cultivation world)?

amount……

Yunyang, sitting in front of the screen, scratched his head sheepishly, realizing that an NPC was still giving him follow-up quests.

Go on, you go on.

Zhao Jinyu calmed herself down and continued, "To be honest, as far as I know, this inner disciple has used coercion and enticement to harm many outer female disciples. Now that he has his eye on your partner, I'm afraid he might harm Junior Brother Yun and your partner."

Oh, so that's what happened.

Yunyang understood and chose to continue asking:

Is there no one in the Xuantian Sect who cares about this?

"Junior brother, you may not know this, but this inner disciple has both strength and background. Even if the female disciples who have fallen victim to his evil deeds want to resist, none of them are willing to offend an inner disciple for their sake."

But coincidentally, I know an inner disciple here. If Junior Brother Yun can get his support, then there's no need to fear that inner disciple.

Strength? Background?

Yunyang was curious. What was his strength? What was his background?

[You ask the Xuan Tian Sect outer disciple in front of you, whose name you've forgotten, about the strength and background of the treacherous inner disciple.]

"He himself is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but he is backed by a true disciple at the early Golden Core stage," Zhao Jinyu answered truthfully.

That's it?

I thought his father was a Nascent Soul cultivator, but it turns out he's just this?

Yunyang was greatly disappointed.

"Hey... Senior Brother, didn't you just say that nobody cared about the dirty deeds that inner disciple was doing?"

"Um...yes."

"Then I'll take care of it, won't I?"

What business is it of yours (a vulgar expression used in the cultivation world)?!

Zhao Jinyu almost pointed the "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger" at Yunyang. You bastard, you're so stubborn!

At the same time, he also wanted to ask Yunyang, "Are you fucking unable to understand human language?"

Didn't I already say? I know a true disciple! And I want to introduce you to him! With that true disciple as your backer, you won't need to worry about your current troubles!

You've made yourself perfectly clear, haven't you? You idiot... Why are you acting like you didn't hear me, BYD?

There's an easier path in front of you, but you insist on trying to see how tough the thorns are on the other path. Aren't you just wasting your time?

Why don't we save this time for cultivation?

Gong, who had been silently following behind Zhao Jinyu, patted Zhao Jinyu on the back to help him catch his breath.

Then, Yunyang saw two more options on the screen.

The option of "remaining silent" was meaningless, so Yunyang simply eliminated it and chose another option.

Looking at this outer sect senior brother whose name you don't know and for whom you're inexplicably angry, you say:

"When faced with these acts of bullying and abuse of power, if neither of us is willing to speak out, when will the bad guys ever be punished?"

"this……"

Zhao Jinyu was shocked.

I wasn't surprised by that statement, but because...

This doesn't sound like something you would say.

If Zhao Jinyu knew what "lines" were, he would definitely want to ask Yunyang if he had picked up the wrong lines.

But noticing Yunyang's calm gaze, Zhao Jinyu suppressed the urge to launch into a tirade.

Could he be serious?

You haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet. Even if you had, there's still the Golden Core stage above you. Why bother fighting them to the death?

Don't you know that it's better to avoid trouble?

If they use underhanded tactics to scheme against you and affect your path to immortality, wouldn't you be the one who suffers the loss?

And what benefits do you get in return?

It's not worth it!

You have a better future, why bother...?

But as soon as the words were on the tip of her tongue, Zhao Jinyu couldn't bring herself to say them.

Perhaps they wanted to see this junior brother Yun, who refused to listen to advice no matter what, smash his head until it bled, and let him taste the consequences of not listening to advice.

Or perhaps... it's that restless spirit within me that's secretly beating.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Jinyu bowed respectfully to Yunyang and said:

"Been taught a lesson."

He then turned and patted his junior brother Gong on the shoulder. The two turned and left, leaving behind only the words, "If you need help, I will do my best to assist you within my capabilities."

Your words were very touching, but Yunyang really wants to say:

I don't even know your name.
