Turning My Junior Sister into a Mary Sue In Xianxia Yuri World

Meanwhile, on the other side of the street in the market—

Due to the market being under lockdown, no one was allowed to walk around on the streets.

Although the shops were still open, the shopkeepers and the customers who were previously browsing had to stay indoors to avoid being questioned by patrolling disciples of the Shadowmoon Sword Sect.

Tap-tap-tap-tap—

Accompanied by the sound of a wooden fish being struck, Yun Xi, dressed in her gold and white sect robes, was walking towards the Wutian Shadowmoon Sword Pavilion, preparing to check on the situation inside.

It was said that the sound of the wooden fish could bring tranquility to the mind, but at this moment, it was making her feel like the veins on her forehead were about to burst.

After walking for a while, she couldn’t take it anymore and kicked Zhang Yihe in the butt:

“Damn it!! Zhang Yihe!! Can you stop hitting that broken wooden bell of yours?!”

“Ah…”

Zhang Yihe stumbled forward a few steps before stabilizing himself.

He turned back to look at his Young Mistress and Pei Lengxue, who was looking around beside them, and said:

“But Young Mistress… no, Third Young Mistress, didn’t you say you wanted to accumulate merit? This wooden fish helps accumulate merit.”

“… …”

Hearing this, Yun Xi’s eye twitched.

She was now extremely suspicious that this Zhang was a spy planted by her second or eldest sister to drive her mad.

It seemed he wouldn’t stop until he drove her crazy.

Because last year, she had failed to accomplish anything when she left the sect to go to Chi Dragon Mansion, and eleven excellent Foundation Establishment disciples had died.

Several of them were from noble families, so after returning to the sect a few days ago, she had spent all her energy dealing with the aftermath, writing apology letters, and compensating them.

Moreover, the elders concluded that she was the leader and had failed to foresee the changes at Chi Dragon Mansion, so she bore full responsibility.

As a result, not only were the merit points of her “Xiri Peak” deducted, but she was also stripped of her title as the “Young Mistress of the Shadowmoon Sword Sect.”

Thinking of this, Yun Xi’s cheeks turned red with anger, and she glared at Zhang Yihe.

“Zhang Yihe!!! You…”

“Young Mistress, please don’t be angry. Anger affects merit and luck. We should smile. Look at me, heehee—”

Tap-tap—

As he spoke, Zhang Yihe struck the wooden fish twice more and said, “Come on, Third Young Mistress, smile! Then take a deep breath! … Inhale—exhale—inhale—exhale…”

“… you…”

Yun Xi couldn’t hold it in anymore. She sniffed, leaned on Pei Lengxue’s shoulder, and cried:

“Waaah—Junior Sister Pei, what kind of sin did I commit in my past life to meet someone like this…”

Pei Lengxue was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and rubbed her head, comforting her:

“Accumulate more merit in this life, and it will be better in the next.”

?

Hearing this, Yun Xi was slightly stunned.

She raised her head to look at Pei Lengxue’s pure and cold face.

She couldn’t curse, and she couldn’t even get angry.

“Sigh—”

She straightened up and rubbed her face, forcing a smile.

“One troublesome thing after another…”

She hadn’t even had a chance to talk to her eldest sister about her younger brother becoming a live-in son-in-law, and now there was another big incident in the market.

Regarding this murder case, Yun Yiyi would definitely compete with her for the credit.

As for Yun Jiujiao, she could be ignored; she didn’t have the brains to investigate the case.

Thinking about having to compete with Yun Yiyi while finding the culprit, Yun Xi felt a headache.

Then she smiled and asked:

“Zhang Yihe, do you have any thoughts on the situation at the Wutian Shadowmoon Sword Pavilion? Why would someone kill so many inner disciples?”

“I don’t know.” Zhang Yihe shrugged slightly and replied, “Don’t worry. I knocked on the wooden fish all night last night, and I even asked a senior brother to divine our fortune this morning. He said our luck is exceptionally good today. Maybe while we’re walking, the culprit will just run into us, and we’ll catch them right away?”

“Oh.”

Yun Xi rolled her eyes at him but said nothing.

She stretched and glanced around.

She didn’t mean to look around, but as her gaze swept past the alley next to a tavern in front of her, she suddenly noticed a wooden box outside the tavern move slightly.

“Hmm?”

Yun Xi rubbed her eyes, thinking she might have seen wrong.

She wasn’t sure, so she pointed at the box and asked:

“Zhang Yihe, did you just see that box move?”

“What box?” Zhang Yihe looked confused. “Did it move?”

Feeling she had asked the wrong person, Yun Xi turned to Pei Lengxue and repeated the question:

“Junior Sister Pei, did you see it?”

“Yes… it moved.”

“… Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Pei Lengxue pouted and tilted her head, answering, “You didn’t ask.”

Yun Xi took a deep breath, feeling a bit exasperated.

She quickly took out her spirit sword from her storage bag and rushed to the box.

“Whoever’s hiding in the box, I’ll count to three. If you come out by yourself, I’ll be lenient. Otherwise, face the consequences.”

“… …”

“One.”

Boom—

As soon as Yun Xi said the first number, the wooden box exploded.

A long sword shot out from the box, aiming straight at Yun Xi’s neck.

Why aren’t they playing by the rules?! Yun Xi’s eyes widened, and she instinctively leaned back.

But in the next moment—

An ice-blue sword light flashed past the attacking sword.

Clang—

Sparks flew!

Pei Lengxue, with an expressionless face, deflected the attacker’s sword to the ground with her spirit sword.

Yun Xi finally saw the attacker’s attire and face clearly.

It was a young man with golden hair, wearing the gold and white inner disciple robes of the Shadowmoon Sword Sect.

Even if Yun Xi didn’t know his name, these two points alone indicated he was an inner disciple.

“You!”

“Tch…”

Seeing his sword pinned to the ground, the man clicked his tongue in annoyance.

He immediately pulled out two talismans from his storage bag, making a sword gesture with his hand…

Swish—

The ice-blue sword light slashed through the talismans, splitting them in half, and a spurt of blood followed.

Pei Lengxue had cut off four fingers from the man’s left hand with one swift strike.

“Ah—tch…”

However, the man didn’t hesitate. He kicked some nearby eggs and fruits towards Yun Xi and the others, seizing the opportunity to turn and flee into the alley.

Pei Lengxue frowned slightly, dodged the incoming eggs, and prepared to chase him down and finish him off.

But Yun Xi quickly grabbed her shoulder and stopped her, saying:

“Junior Sister Pei, let him go.”

“Hmm?” Pei Lengxue turned her head in confusion.

Seeing the egg yolk and egg white on Yun Xi’s face, she hesitated. “Not chasing him?”

Yun Xi wiped the egg off her face, shook her hand, and glanced at the fleeing attacker before replying:

“That guy only has a Peak Qi Refining cultivation. He’s likely just a pawn. With the market under lockdown, catching him will be easy. Let’s see where he plans to run.”

“Oh, okay!”

Yun Xi then turned her head to Zhang Yihe, who was holding the wooden fish with an egg still in his mouth, and said:

“Zhang Yihe, go inform the Shadowmoon Sword Sect disciples to send some people over and block off the five nearby streets. Also, arrange for some people to monitor from above.”

“Mm! Mm mm mm?”

“Spit the egg out before you speak.”

“Ptui—! Okay, Third Young Mistress, what about you?”

“I’ll chase him with Junior Sister Pei.”
