I Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] - Chapter 22

Zuo Wuyi had originally intended to wait here for Mo Xiao to return, but as she sat, she began to doze off. In the days before Mo Xiao woke up, she had basically stayed by the bedside without closing her eyes, and now that she finally relaxed, the accumulated fatigue instantly flooded out.

Sleeping hunched over on the table was too uncomfortable. Zuo Wuyi yawned, used her dwindling willpower to remove her shoes and outer clothes, and then flopped onto Mo Xiao’s bed. She rolled around a few times and immediately closed her eyes.

After some unknown time, Zuo Wuyi felt hot. Subconsciously, she kicked her legs, trying to move away from the source of the heat. But the moment her foot exerted force, she realized she had kicked an obstruction. That obstruction seemed to have trapped her leg, making her unable to move.

“Go… go away…” Zuo Wuyi muttered to herself, stretching out her other foot to kick in the same direction. Soon, Zuo Wuyi found that both her legs had lost their freedom, which gave her a great sense of insecurity, and she slowly woke up from her sleep.

As soon as she opened her eyes, what Zuo Wuyi saw was her own two legs, then moving slightly upward in her field of vision, they turned into Mo Xiao’s two hands.

“Why are you holding my legs? Are you trying to take advantage of me while I sleep and harbor ill intentions?” Seeing her ankles grasped by Mo Xiao’s hands, Zuo Wuyi instinctively retracted her feet.

“…” Mo Xiao hadn’t expected Zuo Wuyi’s opening sentence to be like this. To prove her innocence, Mo Xiao quickly let go, allowing Zuo Wuyi to retract her legs and then roll up to a sitting position on the bed.

“Mo Xiao, I never thought you’d become this kind of person!” Zuo Wuyi pulled the blanket she had been hugging up to her chest, speaking in an accusatory tone. “With our current relationship, if you wanted something, all you had to do was ask! Why take advantage of the situation when I was vulnerable? This is not the conduct of a gentleman.”

Mo Xiao didn’t respond, simply sitting by the bed and quietly watching Zuo Wuyi’s solo performance.

“Hey, why aren’t you talking to me?” If a performance lacks a co-star, ninety-nine percent of the fun is lost.

“Am I not looking at you?” Mo Xiao said with a smile. “I wonder where Junior Sister concluded that I wanted to take advantage of you?”

“If you didn’t want to do that to me, why would you grab my ankles!” Zuo Wuyi said self-righteously. “Could it be that you like my feet and wanted to admire them up close?”

Mo Xiao’s smile remained unchanged. “You should have grown up after all these years, so why do I feel like you’ve become more and more childish instead?”

“What’s wrong? Can’t adults say these things?” Zuo Wuyi scoffed lightly. “If everyone has a lifespan of a thousand years, then what is sixteen-year-old me, if not a child?”

“Alright, you’re right. I was wrong.” When it came to being unreasonable, Mo Xiao was no match for Zuo Wuyi.

Allowing her to be difficult for a few sentences, Mo Xiao waited until Zuo Wuyi’s eyes were completely clear before starting on the main topic.

“Revered Master has agreed? That’s great! I’ll go into seclusion now to break through my cultivation,” Zuo Wuyi said excitedly. Going out with Mo Xiao would be double the fun.

“Revered Master’s intention is that Senior Sister Yun Yu will also travel with us. This is to give you double assurance,” Mo Xiao stressed this point. “Remember to restrain yourself in front of Senior Sister.”

“Senior Sister Yun Yu?” Zuo Wuyi moved the bedding away from her and briefly became lost in thought. Yun Yu is my Senior Sister this time. Then I should help her, lest she be schemed against. Zuo Wuyi quickly gathered her thoughts. In any case, it was still early; Yun Yu’s incident should be about thirty years away, right?

“Will Senior Sister always be with us?” Zuo Wuyi asked.

“Perhaps. I can’t say for sure,” Mo Xiao was uncertain, thinking of the few sentences she had overheard. If Senior Sister Yun Yu truly had feelings for their Revered Master, she shouldn’t want to leave her for too long.

The trip to travel was scheduled after Zuo Wuyi formed her Golden Core. In order to go out earlier, Zuo Wuyi cultivated very diligently. Aside from insisting on pulling Mo Xiao in for a nap, all her other time was spent cultivating in her cave dwelling.

Mo Xiao slightly consolidated her own cultivation, then went to find the Sect Master, expressing her willingness to become an Elder. After a simple procedure, she received a token.

“You wear this token, infuse some Sword Intent into it, and you will be able to freely enter and exit the barrier on the top floor of the Library Pavilion,” the Sect Master said, personally tying the token around Mo Xiao’s waist.

“Thank you, Sect Master,” Mo Xiao thanked him politely.

“It’s nothing. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come and ask me anytime,” the Sect Master said with a smile.

Mo Xiao nodded, still politely offering her thanks. After exchanging a few courteous words, she took her leave.

About three months later, Zuo Wuyi found the opportunity to form her Golden Core and began her seclusion for the breakthrough. Breaking through to the Golden Core Stage does not involve a lightning tribulation, and there is no real danger involved. Therefore, after sensing that the aura around Zuo Wuyi had begun to transform toward the Golden Core Stage, Mo Xiao went to visit Yun Yu.

“Senior Sister,” Mo Xiao politely greeted her at the entrance of the cave dwelling.

The relationship between Mo Xiao and Yun Yu was not very close. When Mo Xiao became Xuan Shuang’s disciple, Yun Yu was already at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Mo Xiao had only spent a very short time with Yun Yu. The rest of the time, she was either following their Revered Master to study, in seclusion, or traveling, so they rarely met.

“Junior Sister, you’re here,” Yun Yu was practicing her sword in the courtyard. Seeing Mo Xiao arrive, she put her sword away. “Come in and talk.”

Mo Xiao assented and walked in to sit with Yun Yu in the small pavilion by the side of the courtyard. “Senior Sister, I wanted to discuss the time for us to travel outside.”

Yun Yu nodded, raising the teapot to pour some tea into the cup in front of Mo Xiao. “Revered Master mentioned this to me. Did Revered Master say how long this trip will be?”

Mo Xiao shook her head. “Revered Master didn’t say, but we plan to head north. We might travel in the northern extremely cold region for a while before returning.”

“Speaking of which, I once heard a rumor about the extremely cold region.” Yun Yu lifted her teacup and blew on it. “It is said that there is a secret realm entrance near the center of the extremely cold region. If you are lucky enough to find it, you might have a chance to obtain the inheritance of a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator with an Ice Spiritual Root.”

“Inheritance in the extremely cold region?” Mo Xiao frowned slightly. “Senior Sister, when did this rumor start?”

“Hmm, I probably heard it about thirty years ago, but the rumor must have started much earlier than that. It might have been circulating for a hundred years or more,” Yun Yu had genuinely only heard the rumor and hadn’t verified its truth.

“Since our destination is the extremely cold region, we can try our luck nearby when we get there,” Yun Yu said with a smile. “Isn’t Junior Sister Mo Xiao an Ice Spiritual Root herself? It would be great if she could truly obtain the Great Vehicle Stage inheritance.”
