I Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] - Chapter 26

Yun He and Yun Yu looked into each other’s eyes. After a moment of silence, Yun Yu lightly cleared her throat, “Actually, I can explain this…”

Taking about the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Yun Yu recounted the events of the previous day. “There were approximately eighty or ninety people present. Fewer than twenty people died; the rest were only heavily injured and will recover after a few months of recuperation.”

“First Senior Sister, do you mean that the Wang and Cheng families might have come later in the night and killed those people?” Yun He asked.

“Remove ‘might have,'” Yun Yu said. “They must have had this plan prepared all along, but we acted a step faster than them.”

After saying this, Yun Yu couldn’t help but frown. If this were true, wouldn’t she and Mo Xiao have been indirectly utilized, becoming the Wang and Cheng families’ free thugs?

“Then what should we do, First Senior Sister?” With Yun Yu present, Yun He didn’t want to rack her own brain. “Do you need me to scout out the situation of the two families?”

“Since they intend to use you, they definitely won’t reveal anything related to the Star Stones to you,” Yun Yu analyzed. “You continue to keep the Wang and Cheng families stable. Second Junior Sister and I will go investigate the matter of the Star Stones.”

“That works. Anyway, this matter won’t be resolved quickly,” Yun He nodded. As long as she didn’t have to engage in false pleasantries to elicit information, she was fine with it.

Yun He was staying on the Wang family’s territory, and people were constantly monitoring the area nearby. After giving a few simple instructions, Yun Yu prepared to leave.

“Wait, what is Little Junior Sister’s current cultivation level? Is she at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment stage?” Yun He suddenly asked.

Yun Yu paused. Seeing that Yun He was still only at the Core Formation Early-stage, she fell into a long silence.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with Little Junior Sister’s cultivation?” Yun He asked nervously. “Did something go wrong when she tried to break through?”

Yun Yu shook her head. “Little Junior Sister’s actual cultivation… is already about the same as yours.”

“Huh?” Yun He froze. “First Senior Sister, you must be joking with me. Little Junior Sister has only been cultivating for eight or nine years! How could she possibly be at the Core Formation stage? Haha…”

Upon seeing the expression on Yun Yu’s face, Yun He’s control over her own expression utterly failed, and her entire face sagged. “First Senior Sister, I suddenly feel so useless… Among Master’s disciples, I am the most lacking.”

“Cultivation cannot represent everything. If you focused wholeheartedly on cultivating, you should be at the Core Formation Mid-stage,” Yun Yu patted Yun He’s shoulder, comforting her.

Yun Yu continued, “Do not reveal Little Junior Sister’s cultivation level to anyone yet. Such talent will make many people envious.”

Yun He nodded. “As soon as this matter is resolved, I’m going back into seclusion. I won’t come out until I break through. I refuse to be at the bottom!”

Yun Yu neither agreed nor objected. Leaving behind only a “work hard,” her figure disappeared outside the window.

After Yun Yu left to find Yun He, Zuo Wuyi slipped out of her own room and expertly climbed through the window into Mo Xiao’s room.

“Not resting?” Mo Xiao had noticed Zuo Wuyi the moment she opened the door. Only after she had entered did Mo Xiao halt her cultivation.

“Not tired. No need to rest,” Zuo Wuyi said, taking a few steps forward and sitting down directly beside Mo Xiao. “I want to sleep with you tonight.”

Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you just tell me that you weren’t tired and didn’t need to rest?”

“Is sleeping with you considered resting?” Zuo Wuyi countered.

“…” It took Mo Xiao a moment to register what she meant, and a slightly helpless expression crossed her face. “Nonsense.”

“How am I being nonsensical? Aren’t we girlfriends?” Zuo Wuyi did not think there was anything wrong with what she said. “I just want to sleep with you. Is that not allowed?”

“You can share the bed with me. Nothing else for now,” Mo Xiao said. Not to mention that Yun Yu might return at any moment, the location and the time were simply not right.

“Fine, but this time I get to sleep on the inside,” since they were officially a couple, Zuo Wuyi wasn’t worried that Mo Xiao would run away in the middle of the night.

“As you wish,” Mo Xiao was indifferent.

Although it was inconvenient to do anything intimate at the moment, once they lay down, Zuo Wuyi immediately wrapped her arms around Mo Xiao’s waist, snuggling close into her embrace.

Mo Xiao lightly patted Zuo Wuyi’s head, signaling for her to settle down.

“Mo Xiao, do you think we will live here together forever?” Zuo Wuyi buried her head in Mo Xiao’s neck, her voice sounding muffled.

“I don’t know about ‘forever,’ but we will definitely be here for a few hundred years,” Mo Xiao said. Barring any accidents, it would likely take her a hundred years or so from now until her ascension.

If, before then, the matters concerning Zuo Wuyi and Xuan Min hadn’t been resolved, and neither of them showed signs of ascending, then she would have to suppress her cultivation and wait until Zuo Wuyi could ascend with her, and then they would leave this place together.

“If we spend a few hundred years together, will you suddenly find me annoying, then abandon me and find someone else?” Zuo Wuyi asked. “After all, here, as long as your cultivation is high enough, whether it’s a man or a woman, you only need to beckon, and plenty of people will be willing.”

“I am not that kind of person.” Mo Xiao didn’t quite understand why Zuo Wuyi was worried about something that was fundamentally impossible. “Besides, weren’t you much more annoying at the beginning than you are now? I didn’t abandon you back then, did I?”

“Aha! Mo Xiao, you really do find me annoying! Have you already started to get impatient with me?” Zuo Wuyi seized the loophole in Mo Xiao’s words. “And what does ‘not as annoying as before’ mean? Was I very annoying before?”

“Hmm?” Mo Xiao was momentarily stunned. “When did I say you were annoying before?”

“Wasn’t that very sentence it? You said I was more annoying at the beginning than I am now,” Zuo Wuyi lifted her head, looking at Mo Xiao with a displeased expression.

“I…” Mo Xiao wanted to say she was merely stating a fact, but seeing the dissatisfaction on Zuo Wuyi’s face, she could only deploy her limited emotional intelligence and change her expression. “I used the wrong example. I liked the immature you before, but I like the improved you even more now?”

“Verbal expressions of liking are too superficial. I hope you feel a flutter in your heart,” Zuo Wuyi said, looking expectantly at Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and kissed Zuo Wuyi. “Like this?”

“Not enough,” Zuo Wuyi was not satisfied.

Mo Xiao hesitated again, then cast a barrier around her room. She then grasped Zuo Wuyi’s chin directly and gave her a deep kiss.

Zuo Wuyi did not resist. She just loved to break Mo Xiao’s utterly proper demeanor and watch her reveal a different side of herself to her.

After the kiss ended, Zuo Wuyi’s breathing was slightly ragged. She licked her lips, then contentedly buried her head back into Mo Xiao’s neck.

“Alright, time to sleep.” The next time the two of them went out on an isolated training trip, she absolutely had to fully claim Mo Xiao!

Mo Xiao slowly let out a breath. After swallowing hard, she slowly closed her eyes as well. Zuo Wuyi, she really knows how to be seductive.

The next day, as soon as Yun Yu opened her door, she saw her two Junior Sisters walking downstairs hand-in-hand, both looking incredibly refreshed.

“Good morning, First Senior Sister,” Zuo Wuyi greeted her with a smile.

“Good morning,” Yun Yu had not yet realized that anything was amiss. She went downstairs with them and casually brought up the matter of the Wang and Cheng families.

Upon hearing that they had been used, an expression of displeasure immediately appeared on Zuo Wuyi’s face. “So we acted as free thugs and took the blame? That’s too miserable.”

“First Senior Sister, what are your thoughts? Should we directly sneak into the Cheng and Wang families?” Zuo Wuyi asked.

Yun Yu shook her head. “With the Hu family incident preceding this, the Cheng and Wang families must be guarding against us. Moreover, Yun He was nominally invited by them. If they were to ask Yun He to deal with us, things would be difficult to handle.”

As she spoke, Yun Yu couldn’t help but let her gaze drift downwards, looking at the two hands clasped together under the table.

Had the relationship between fellow disciples become this intimate? Do they need to hold hands while discussing business?

Or, was there something going on between her Second and Little Junior Sisters? No, her two Junior Sisters had just finished their respective periods of seclusion and probably hadn’t seen each other in a long time, so they were just being overly affectionate for a while.

“First Senior Sister, I have an idea. Since they shifted the blame onto us, we can…” Zuo Wuyi quickly devised a plan.

Upon hearing Zuo Wuyi’s plan, Yun Yu’s eyes lit up. “That’s a good idea. I’ll disguise myself now, and then…”

On the other side, the Wang and Cheng Family Patriarchs were in excellent spirits after hearing that the news had spread. They each summoned their confidants, instructing them to check the Hu family’s treasury and see how many good items were left inside.

“Elder Brother Wang, this time, even the heavens are helping us. Before long, we can rightfully take over the Hu family,” the Cheng Family Patriarch was extremely happy, laughing uncontrollably as he spoke.

“Indeed. I never expected such a coincidence as the Hu family’s enemies coming to their door. As long as we act quickly, even if Hu Da and his wife return safely, the Hu family’s possessions will already be ours,” a smile also appeared on the Wang Family Patriarch’s face, slightly dispersing his gloomy aura.

“Since we’ve done it, we must ensure there are no future troubles. In a few days, I will send people to monitor the area. If we get news of them, we’ll intercept them on the road…” The Wang Family Patriarch did not finish his sentence, conveying his meaning to the Cheng Family Patriarch with his eyes.

“Elder Brother Wang is correct, I was thinking the same thing,” their thoughts converged perfectly.

Just as they were discussing how to divide the Hu family’s assets, an urgent knocking sound rang out. “Patriarch, a cultivator claiming to be a friend of the Hu Family Patriarch has come to the door and says he wants to meet Young Master Hu.”

“A friend?” The smile instantly vanished from the Wang Family Patriarch’s face. “What is the other party’s cultivation level, and how many people are there?”

“One is a young woman at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there are two other very young male cultivators. I couldn’t ascertain their cultivation level. They should be Core Formation stage cultivators,” the subordinate reported from outside the door.

“Alright, I understand. Let them in for now, but don’t let too many people know they’ve arrived,” the Cheng Family Patriarch instructed.

The subordinate outside the door hesitated for a moment and then spoke. “Patriarch, they seem to have been asking for directions all the way here, and quite a few onlookers are following behind them…”
