The Villainous Senior Brother Doesn't Want to Wash White [Transmigration] - Chapter 16
As expected, upon hearing Ji Yanqing’s words, Qi Ye froze. He seemed completely unable to fathom that the truth could be such a thing.
Seeing Qi Ye’s reaction, Ji Yanqing deliberately added in a sarcastic tone, “However, if Junior Brother truly likes it, as your Senior Brother, I will give you my sincere blessings.”
Ji Yanqing thought to himself: after telling Qi Ye that his crush is actually a cross-dresser, I’ve even sprinkled some cumin on his wound. This should surely stimulate him enough to farm some Villain Value!
One must know that since the sect competition, he had accumulated a total of 9 days, 2 hours, and 32 minutes without gaining a single point of Villain Value from Qi Ye.
However, to Ji Yanqing’s disappointment, just like countless times before, the Villain Value remained unchanged. Qi Ye, on the contrary, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, though his eyes soon sank slightly again.
After a long while, Qi Ye spoke up and asked, “How did Senior Brother know?”
“Hehe, this is the difference between me and you.” Ji Yanqing smiled smugly, putting on a completely debauched facade.
While he said this, Ji Yanqing knew very well in his heart that the reason he knew was that he had roughly reviewed the plot development of this world before the mission started.
In the entire plot of this book, two people had left a deep impression on him: one was the protagonist Qi Ye by his side, and the other was Liu Ningyun.
Liu Ningyun was born into the Northern Plains’ Liu family. Perhaps because the first Liu family head was misled by love, he left a clan rule before his death: the Liu family head must be female and must never marry. However, Liu Ningyun’s mother fell in love with a cultivator from a small sect and gave birth to a male infant.
That infant was Liu Ningyun.
At the age of ten, Liu Ningyun, who had been fostered elsewhere by his mother, learned of his life story and that his mother had protected him with her life back then, but her primordial soul remained in the Liu family and could not be reincarnated to this day. Originally a swordsmanship genius, he abandoned his plan to join a sword cultivation sect and came to the Liu family dressed in women’s clothing.
His status as the daughter of the former clan head and a cultivation genius allowed him to successfully become the Liu family head. Originally, it was only to allow his mother’s soul to reincarnate, but because Liu Ningyun keenly discovered many problems with the Liu family’s cultivation methods, he ultimately stayed. This stay lasted nearly thirty years. It wasn’t until later, when Liu Ningyun achieved the Primordial Soul stage and completed the missing parts of the Liu family’s techniques, that he restored his true gender.
Such a legendary tale made Ji Yanqing click his tongue in surprise, sighing that if this persona were in another world, he would surely be a protagonist. However, in the normal plot development, when Liu Ningyun officially appeared, he had already restored his male attire; that experience of cross-dressing was actually only mentioned in passing.
Therefore, seeing the cross-dressing era Liu Ningyun with his own eyes, and recalling the descriptions of Liu Ningyun’s various handsome features after restoring his male attire in the later plot, Ji Yanqing’s curiosity exploded. He couldn’t help but steal glance after glance.
How did this Liu Ningyun do it? One can’t tell at all that he’s actually cross-dressing?
Forget it, forget it. He wasn’t going to dress as a woman himself. Instead of considering these things, he should think about how to farm some Villain Value from Liu Ningyun.
Ji Yanqing waited for a long time without seeing even a single point of change in Villain Value. He simply gave up on Qi Ye temporarily and turned his target toward the other few people.
“Someone’s coming.”
At that moment, a sword light appeared outside the temple. Qi Ye was the first to stand up, his spiritual sword already slightly unsheathed. Ji Yanqing also stood up. Having witnessed Liu Ningyun and the other being besieged earlier, he set aside his petty thoughts of farming Villain Value for now, ready to manifest his magic artifacts at any moment.
The atmosphere in the temple suddenly became tense.
Fortunately, as the sword light dissipated, the person appearing before them was a handsome youth. He wiped the bloodstains from his face and said nonchalantly, “Apologies, I encountered people from the Blood Demon Sect on the way and took a bit of time to settle them.”
“I am Meng Xingchen, and this is my Dao companion.”
As he spoke, Meng Xingchen looked at the longsword in his arms.
Dao companion?? A sword??
Meng Xingchen’s sentence successfully shattered the tense atmosphere in the temple. Everyone was speechless for a moment, also confirming that this youth was indeed a member of the Meng family. This kind of lunatic who was exceptionally obsessed with swords only appeared in a sword cultivation family like the Mengs.
After a moment of exclamation, Ji Yanqing immediately recognized that this handsome youth was the cultivator who had paid the spirit stones for him and Qi Ye at the Wanbao Pavilion earlier.
“It’s you.” Meng Xingchen also noticed Ji Yanqing. His eyes brightened slightly, then he looked around curiously and asked, “How come I don’t see fellow Daoist’s ‘Le’?”
Naturally, I stewed it…
Ji Yanqing was about to answer that way. Previously outside the Wanbao Pavilion, Meng Xingchen had paid two hundred spirit stones in one go. Given his liking for the little white fluff-ball, he would surely feel displeased hearing that. But on second thought, he still owed the other party two hundred high-grade spirit stones. Having received a favor, his hand was short; he would wait until he repaid this debt before farming points.
He replied honestly, “That ‘Le’ is not yet an adult; bringing it along would be useless, so I simply left it at our lodgings.”
Meng Xingchen nodded. “Mhm. I don’t yet know the names of several fellow Daoists.”
“He’s called Zhang San, and I’m called Li Si. We were hired by the Ji family.”
Ji Yanqing skillfully brought out his previous set of lies, but this time, the purple-clad woman immediately found the discrepancy.
“Didn’t you just say you were Zhang San and he was Li Si?”
I was afraid you wouldn’t find this loophole!
Ji Yanqing felt a surge of joy and deliberately replied with a punchable face, “Is that so? Then you must have misheard.”
“You!”
The purple-clad woman hadn’t expected Ji Yanqing to twist the facts so blatantly. She pointed at Ji Yanqing in anger, her finger trembling slightly and her surrounding true qi surging; she was clearly on the verge of exploding. If they weren’t about to enter the secret realm together, she would surely strike Ji Yanqing directly.
This effect was exactly what Ji Yanqing wanted. Just by looking at the purple-clad woman’s reaction, he could gain at least 10 points of Villain Value this time. Although it wasn’t much, even mosquito meat is still meat.
Ji Yanqing was calculating in his heart and was about to mock her a few more times when two system notifications came almost simultaneously.
【Villain Value: 10 points.】 【Villain Value: 50 points.】
Ji Yanqing: !!
There were actually a full 60 points of Villain Value! Ji Yanqing was a bit happy and a bit excited; after all, since that sect competition, he hadn’t collected this much Villain Value. This time, as a villain, it was worth it.
However, after the initial joy, Ji Yanqing soon realized an interesting thing. According to rule 279 of the System Instruction Manual: different system notification sounds at the same time come from different people.
If the first notification of Villain Value he heard at the same time came from the purple-clad woman, then the second notification came from another person. Ji Yanqing’s gaze swept over the people present, his mouth curling slightly due to joy, his eyes shining with happy light.
In other words, besides the purple-clad woman, there was another person among those present who hated him very much.
