Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

While many young disciples were still bored and staring blankly on the immortal boat, Yuyan had already descended to the peak of Ranmo Peak on her own sword.

Before descending the mountain, Yuyan also changed into a white simple skirt that allowed for easy movement, though she did not remove the black pantyhose wrapped around her beautiful legs.

She was accompanied by a stunning immortal clad in a black dress with white hair.

This immortal's figure was just as good as Yuyan's, but her brows lacked the aloof and proud demeanor. She was dressed in a black robe and long skirt, fully covered, unlike Yuyan who confidently dared to wear a thin simple skirt in the freezing cold, only wrapping her legs in a layer of black pantyhose without being afraid of the cold.

Her name was Mu Yanran, the daughter of the current Wuji Sect leader, Mu Hongwen, and the sister next door who had been teaching Yuyan swordsmanship since she was little in Yuyan's memories.

Although described as having white hair, Yanran's hair was not entirely white by nature. Underneath her white hair, dyed many black strands, making it look more like her hair turned white gradually after birth.

"Come to think of it, how many years has it been since we leisurely enjoyed flower viewing and chatting like this?"

At the back of the Snow Village, the white-haired immortal paused under a plum blossom tree, her words tinged with emotion.

She casually picked a snow-red plum blossom from the treetop and inserted it into the flowing black hair of the immortal beside her in the white skirt.

Yuyan remained silent, simply watching her.

She took out her sword from her bosom, and with the help of the moonlight and the reflection on the sword's blade, she could faintly see the snow-red plum blossom that her senior sister had placed in her hair.

"Senior sister, I didn't come to Snow Village for flower viewing."

Yuyan took a deep breath, her eyes gazing toward the distant mountaintop.

"Yuyan, cultivating immortality isn't just about reaching a higher realm. Training the heart is equally important. It's a life-essential lesson..."

Seeing that her junior sister had been absent-minded all night, Yanran couldn't help but lower her gaze and said softly, "I just feel that you should sometimes relax and not keep yourself always in a high-pressure, sensitive environment — since what happened ten years ago, I haven't been able to recall how you laughed."

"I'm worried... if you keep suppressing and forcing yourself like this, sooner or later you'll lose control and go astray."

At the end, Yanran earnestly took Yuyan's hand.

Yuyan lowered her cold eyes, silently watching her, a hint of hesitation flashing on her face.

She thought for a moment and then abruptly spoke, "How about senior sister teaches me chess? Maybe my mood will improve... anyway, we're far from the sect, Master wouldn't know."

"....."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Yanran's face instantly stiffened.

She slowly released Yuyan's hand. The two immortals each had their own thoughts, and neither could smile anymore.

"Chess is no good, but senior sister can accompany you to practice swordsmanship."

Yanran hesitated for a long time before helplessly answering.

Yuyan slightly tilted her eyebrows, although she didn't say anything, her eyes that turned slightly away still proudly showed her as the sword immortal of Wuji Sect.

A few years ago, since Yuyan earned the title of Wuji Sect's sword immortal, she hadn't sought out Yanran to spar with her skills again.

After all... Their swordsmanship had grown apart, and there was no longer much need to spar.

"Yuyan, you're getting foolish from playing chess, losing more and more your humanity!"

Yanran felt scorn and could only muster a smile, awkwardly pressing her lips together.

During their chat, she also followed Yuyan's gaze, her beautiful eyes gazing toward the distant Peak.

The two immortals stood by the plum blossom tree, silent, but their beautiful eyes were filled with thoughts.

At some point, Yuyan's cold eyes suddenly flickered.

"Senior sister, I still want to go back and take a look." She unexpectedly spoke up.

"Go back?"

Yanran also came to her senses, her gentle face briefly showing a hidden unease.

"I'm still worried about that little playboy Yino that Master assigned me." Yuyan couldn't help but speak up. Don't miss out on m-vl-em-pyr

"Why..."

Mentioning this familiar young man's name, Yanran's eyes clearly changed.

-Is this just a coincidence?-

Tonight, Jinyue had just mentioned Yino, and in less than half an hour, Yuyan also brought up Yino again.

Although Jinyue and Yuyan had different attitudes, it was clear that both of them had obvious concern and care for Yino.

"Didn't you give him a jade pendant? Could it be that the jade pendant is causing some commotion?"

Yanran grabbed Yuyan, somewhat nervously advising her.

At this time, Full Moon's cult followers should be conducting mass killings at the hot spring stronghold. Yanran's mission tonight was to lead Yuyan away. If she let her go back, the plan to eliminate Chen Jianxin would be completely ruined!

On the other side, Yuyan's beautiful eyes gazed at the distant mountaintop, becoming increasingly distracted.

"The jade pendant didn't show any sign, but my eyelids have been twitching, and I've been feeling uneasy since just now..."

"But if the jade pendant didn't show any sign, that means he's not in danger."

"Who knows? Maybe that idiot was soaking in the hot springs, and when he was taking off his clothes, he carelessly threw away the jade pendant I gave him."

As Yuyan spoke, her hands clutched the jade pendant on her chest, and more and more strange thoughts floated in her mind.

Yanran listened, her eyes showing more than confusion.

"Yuyan, are you joking?"

She awkwardly forced a smile, pretending to brush it off, waving her hand lightly. "Even if Yino is a distinguished guest from the Grand Tutor's Mansion, You are is paying too much attention to him. A normal senior sister wouldn't consider a junior brother they've known for less than half a month so thoroughly. This is more like a mother's behavior."

"Moreover, how could a normal person casually lose the jade pendant entrusted by a senior sister during a simple bath in the hot springs?"

At the end, Yanran also found it funny.

But as her words fell, the atmosphere became awkward. The smile on Yanran's face also stiffened because she saw Yuyan's brows furrowed, and her worried eyes didn't seem to be joking.

"Senior sister, you don't understand him..."

Yuyan was still pondering about the mountaintop.

Her hands pressed to her lips, although it was a bit hard to express, she still spoke seriously, "If it's Yino, it's possible he did that. For example, he might have casually handed over my jade pendant to Yunjin... or maybe, some flashy, ill-intentioned girls used a pair of black stockings to deceive him, taking away both his wealth and himself!"

"Wait, how could you come up with such specific things?"

Yanran found it very suspicious, feeling that Yuyan's concern for Yino had gone far beyond what was normal.

Previously, when chatting on the way, every time Yuyan mentioned Yino, it was with disdain. Her cold eyes couldn't hide some disgust and grumbling, making Yanran think she hated Yino.

But unexpectedly, after Yuyan just now expressing disdain, less than a few hours later, she immediately changed her expression to extreme worry.
