I Know What You're Up To, Miss!

"So you are Yuezheng Yan," Lu Xingyan said, shedding her sorrowful demeanor from the moment when she, a five-year-old villain in baby form, had transformed into a teenager as tall and straight as a bamboo pole. She stepped forward with a friendly greeting.

The girl before him was amiable, and her facial bone structure was one he had not seen amongst those skulls from when he was nurturing the Magic Lotus.

As for the enemies from his past life, Yuezheng Yan had already eliminated them all.

At this moment, he was certain that he had not met this person in his previous life, nor was she one of his enemies.

"My name is Lu Xingyan, I am from Xiaoyao Peak, the direct disciple of Lord Xiaoyao," Lu Xingyan said with a smile, "Junior Brother has exceptional talent, superior character, and excellent spiritual roots. At a glance, it's clear you are a talented junior brother destined to join Xiaoyao Peak and practice the Xiaoyao Sword Technique."

A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Yuezheng Yan's mouth.

Was she really talking about him?

"Senior Sister Lu, are you sure you're talking about him?" Liang Xuan, who had been ready to draw his sword and attack, hesitated to proceed due to Lu Xingyan's arrival.

Upon hearing Lu Xingyan's praise, he wore a look of utter disbelief and whispered a reminder, "Senior Sister Lu, he is the cast-off of the Yuezheng Family, his aptitude isn't bad but his constitution is poor, a complete waste."

"Did you say he's a waste?" Lu Xingyan's voice did not lower despite Liang Xuan speaking softly.

As the plot unfolded, the system provided Lu Xingyan with detailed reports on anything related to the antagonist, including actions taken by characters against him.

This was also to facilitate her mission completion and to earn reward points.

In the original story, Liang Xuan, as Yuezheng Yan's third senior brother, ridiculed the little antagonist for his poor constitution while envying his spiritual root aptitude.

He also always targeted the little antagonist both openly and secretly, with things like placing five poisons in his bedding being merely trifling matters. He even lured a horde of demon beasts to try to kill Yuezheng Yan while the latter was out on a training expedition.

"Senior Sister Lu!" Liang Xuan's complexion worsened as his whispered words were spoken aloud.

Not only did he look down on Yuezheng Yan, but he was also jealous of him. He held the same contempt for Lu Xingyan.

A waste with a spiritual root aptitude of merely ten, who hadn't achieved foundation establishment even after ten years of cultivation, was not much better than Yuezheng Yan.

And yet, such a person was somehow able to become a direct disciple under Lord Xiaoyao, and she was the only one!

The more Liang Xuan thought about it, the more resentful he became, feeling the injustice of it all. He could insult and beat Yuezheng Yan,

but he dared not raise his voice against Lu Xingyan.

After all, Lord Xiaoyao was both fearsome and protective of his own. Even his own master, Lord Changfeng, if he crossed her, could end up being chased by her sword for three days and nights, not daring to leave seclusion for three months straight.

"If you say the junior brother is a waste, then what were you just doing?" Lu Xingyan ignored Liang Xuan's anger, "I just arrived, but I heard you say that Uncle Changfeng wants to take junior brother as a disciple. If your master is taking him as a disciple, can he be a waste?"

"Senior Sister Lu, everyone in the Immortal Spirit Realm knows that there is a waste from the Yuezheng Family with high aptitude. Am I wrong to say so?" Liang Xuan grumbled dissatisfiedly and under his breath.

"Just by virtue of having the Innate Thunder Spirit Root and full aptitude, he cannot possibly be a waste," Lu Xingyan declared.

Still unconvinced, Liang Xuan argued, "Thunder Spirit Evil Body entails that cultivation will inevitably lead to demon cultivation, and demon cultivation will invite the Heavenly Tribulation. It's destined that his path as an immortal won't go far!"

"What's wrong with the Thunder Spirit Evil Body? You don't even possess the Thunder Spirit Evil Body, and you are inferior to Junior Brother Yuezheng in terms of destiny," Lu Xingyan said, not holding back her disdain for Liang Xuan even without considering their past animosity.

Having been in the sect for ten years, she knew of the events that took place within.

Liang Xuan's private harassment of a new female disciple from Jiuxiao Peak was evidence enough that he was no good person.

Taking him on without any reservations, Lu Xingyan continued, "The path of cultivation goes against the natural order; if the Heavenly Dao allows the existence of a Thunder Spirit Evil Body, it surely has its unique aspects."
