There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 240: I’m not much, just a mere charisma of 10

Translator: 549690339

Mao Nanbei’s so-called Senior Yanli’s old lover, Lu Xun had indeed heard of her.

Her name was Zhao Suihan, the master of Xiao Ran, one of the World Protagonists.

When Lu Xun heard this name, the phrase “the pine and cypress last through the cold winter” popped into his mind. He joked, “Why isn’t she paired with a pine or cypress.”

But when he thought of his Senior Yanli currently in deep seclusion, as unresponsive as a plant, labeling him as a pine tree seemed rather fitting.

Whenever the Demon Sect held an important event, she would always participate more enthusiastically than anyone else.

Great cultivators plagued by love. Despite knowing that she couldn’t see Senior Yanli because he was in seclusion, coming here and being closer to him gave her much peace and comfort.

Throughout Yan Li’s gregarious life, the emotional debts he owed were obviously not just to her, yet she might be the most devoted among them.

While manipulating the paper crane, Lu Xun laughingly asked, “Fourth Senior Sister, why do you call her a madwoman?”

Mao Nanbei responded grumpily, “This woman insists on considering herself Senior Brother’s Dao Companion, whenever she sees me, she has the expression of an adult looking at a child. She just has to touch my ears!”

Hearing this, Lu Xun put his large hand on Mao Nanbei’s small head and started to rub her cat ears, asking, “Is this how she touches them?”

Mao Nanbei’s large eyes couldn’t help but narrow, saying: “Not as comfortable as when you… hey! Who gave you permission to touch?”

She used her small hand to tap Lu Xun lightly, expressing the last of her stubbornness when she was being rubbed.

While rubbing the cat, Lu Xun said, “So just because of this, she is a madwoman to you?”

“What’s wrong with that?” Mao Nanbei turned around and glared at Lu Xun. She raised her hand and moved Lu Xun’s hand slightly to a more comfortable position.

Her eyes were narrowed, and she was only a step away from making a “meow” sound.

Perhaps thinking that everyone would definitely interact with Zhao Suihan later, and that she was meeting her little junior brother for the first time, Mao Nanbei added:

“Anyway, my intuition tells me that the heart of this madwoman is dark. She’s a leading figure among the hypocrites who populate the Luotian Sect! Hmph!”

Hearing these words, Lu Xun couldn’t help but smile.

He did know that the Luotian Sect was full of such double-faced characters.

It has been mentioned before that Xiao Ran was such a character.

In front of others, she appeared to be gentle, knowledgeable, and reasonable. However, during a fight, she wielded two axes and drew blood with every strike. After killing you, she even had the face to sorrowfully scatter your ashes!

While hacking you into eighteen pieces, she wore a gentle smile.

That was really like a refreshing spring breeze.

It seems that this bandit girl, who had been in labor reform… Oops, had been studying in the Luotian Sect, had learned something from her master.

The grand competition of the Outer Sect was held at Yanwu Peak. Lu Xun arrived at the perfect time, Sect Master Shen Yan and the others were already getting ready to welcome the guests.

One after another, famous figures from the cultivation world arrived at the Demon Sect, greatly broadening the horizons of the Demon Sect players.

Somewhat unexpectedly yet also expectedly for Lu Xun, Tianque Gate had also sent people. They were led by Sect Leader Mo Beihe, who, like his own height, was an officially legal loli-level girl, Mo Qingqing.

Sect Master Shen Yan and the others were very warm to Mo Beihe, which flattered him. He admired the grandeur of the Demon Sect and yearned for it.

What a down-to-earth Sect Leader, who does not forget to look to the future at this time.

After seeing him, Lu Xun went up and asked, “Sect Leader Mo, how is Tianhe Shangren’s injury now?”

Mo Beihe quickly replied, “Thanks to your help, the Old Ancestor’s injury has already stabilized.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” said Lu Xun, smiling warmly.

Turning his head, he caught sight of Mo Qingqing standing next to Mo Beihe. He nodded with a smile, a way of greeting her.

Mo Qingqing didn’t dare to look at Lu Xun. Her face turned slightly red and she kept her head down, but she couldn’t help trying to sneak a few glances.

Seeing his daughter’s behavior and then the peerless features of Lu Xun, Mo Beihe felt a sort of understanding.

Back in my youth, I too once…

hoped for such a reception.

Then, the father-daughter duo were ushered to their designated seats on stage under the guide of the Demon Sect disciples.

As time passed, Lu Xun began to understand why his third senior brother gave him Spirit Stones.

Because it was indeed quite exhausting.

Everyone exchanged polite pleasantries. There was a loop of social remarks and mutually praiseworthy business discussions.

Luckily, Lu Xun was eloquent and excelled in such situations. Also, he was genuinely curious about the bigwig cultivators, so he didn’t find it too tiring.

On the other hand, most of the guests from other sects had only heard about Lu Xun and were meeting him for the first time.

They initially thought the rumours might be exaggerated, but upon seeing him in person, they had to sincerely exclaim—that he truly was stunning!

Among the Demon Sect’s leadership, Luo Wanqiu was a beautiful woman and Yue Heshan a handsome youth. The rest, especially Sect Master Shen Yan, could only be considered as dampeners.

Lu Xun, single-handedly, elevated the average charisma of the Demon Sect’s leadership by several notches.

Many bigwigs thought that even if such a person in their own sect had average talents, his appearance alone would add to the aesthetic appeal of their sect.

Moreover, they heard that this Lu Xun possessed a Natural Sword Embryo and was extraordinarily talented!

He seemed to be the next Yan Li!

Interestingly, many people outside viewed Lu Xun as the next Yan Li.

This rumor spread widely and naturally reached Zhao Suihan’s ears.

Even though Lu Xun was Yan Li’s junior brother, Yan Li held an extraordinary place in her heart. Even Yan Li’s own direct disciple couldn’t compare to him in her eyes!

With this mindset, Zhao Suihan came to the Demon Sect. She wanted to see what the so-called second Yan Li, as per the rumours, actually looked like!

A celestial cloud drifted from the distance, carrying Zhao Suihan and her only disciple, Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran shared her master’s intention and was also eager to see what kind of person Lu Xun was.

In both “Turtle’s Longevity” and “Ghost’s Grief”, Lu Xun overpowered her and suppressed her.

Although she had not met Lu Xun before, she was extremely curious about him.

At the same time, she had a tinge of competitive spirit.

The master-student duo from Luotian Sect were both beauties, each with her own charm. Their appearance attracted numerous gazes.

Sect Master Shen Yan and others greeted them with a smile. After all, her identity was somewhat special.

They were Yan Li’s direct disciples, and Zhao Suihan had once been romantically involved with their master!

She held the place of an elder before Shen Yan and the others, leaving them unable to retort.

Upon reaching the high platform, Zhao Suihan and Xiao Ran began looking for Lu Xun right away.

“I want to see why he is hailed as Yan Li’s…Huh?”

Xiao Ran stood by her master’s side, spotting Lu Xun who stood out in the crowd with his black robe.

For some unknown and illogical reason, a thought crossed her mind:

“It seems… I didn’t lose in vain?”

(PS: Almost forgot, there is an event this month. The first to ‘like’ each new chapter will receive a reward of 450 Qidian coins! 450 coins may not seem much, but it’s enough to read my books for quite a while…

Also, the voice-overs seem to indicate that I have many female readers, hehe!)
