- Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister
- Chapter 64 - How Can the Favorability Drop?
“Senior Sister, the Master wants to see you.”
Lin Rouyun hadn’t participated in the Mystic Moon Secret Realm this time because she had returned to her hometown and, moreover, wasn’t particularly interested in secret realm adventures.
Upon hearing that the Mystic Moon Secret Realm had experienced a rare phenomenon of a full moon rising, triggering a beast tide, Lin Rouyun had been worried about her senior brother and sister for quite some time.
Now that both had returned safely, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Senior Sister?”
But her initial call received no response. Puzzled, Lin Rouyun took a few steps forward and noticed her senior sister staring blankly at the ground below the flying ship.
Wasn’t it just the sect’s main square? The square was paved with ordinary stones, adorned with some carved patterns.
Hadn’t they both seen this scene for decades? How could it not have grown tiresome yet?
Feeling strange, Lin Rouyun couldn’t suppress her curiosity and followed Qin Yiqiu’s gaze. To her surprise, she spotted a male and a female disciple walking side by side!
How audacious! In broad daylight, under the clear sky, they dared to disregard the sect’s rules.
Such disciples truly deserved to be punished!
Wait, Why did those figures look increasingly familiar?
Lin Rouyun, being sharp-witted, quickly sensed something amiss. Their height, their hairstyles. the more she looked, the more they resembled someone she knew.
Expanding her spiritual sense, Lin Rouyun finally recognized them.
Wasn’t that Luo Yunhuan? That damned vixen who always managed to bewitch her senior sister.
But why was she walking with a man?
As a junior sister, Lin Rouyun felt it was her duty to teach this unruly little lover a lesson on behalf of her senior sister. Just as she rolled up her sleeves, ready to leap over the ship’s railing and descend, she suddenly realized something crucial: her senior sister practiced the Path of Emotionlessness. If this incident could help her see through the illusions of mortal attachments, it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
So, Lin Rouyun withdrew her hand.
And she couldn’t resist adding fuel to the fire.
“Senior Sister, outer sect disciples have mediocre talent and rarely focus on cultivation. It’s normal for them to be fickle and easily swayed.”
“Perhaps she was only drawn to your high status and tried to seduce you. Now that she has other suitors, her heart naturally wavers.”
Hearing her junior sister’s words, Qin Yiqiu turned and fixed her gaze on Lin Rouyun.
“You were supposed to deliver a message from the Master. Why are you gossiping about others instead?”
Lin Rouyun fell silent, but a small knot of frustration tightened in her chest. She took a step forward, her deer-like eyes locking onto Qin Yiqiu.
“Senior Sister, I’m telling the truth. That woman isn’t worth your devotion. If you ever meet someone you truly love, I wouldn’t mind if you abandoned the Path of Emotionlessness. But her? Is she worthy?”
“In the end, she’s just a fickle and promiscuous person!”
“She took advantage of your kindness, clung to you for support, and now that she’s gained some fame in the sect and has admirers, she’s trying to discard you!”
“In my opinion, she’s nothing but a low-class vixen.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Yiqiu’s eyes turned icy cold.
“Enough.”
She raised her hand but never delivered the slap.
She was wrong. She shouldn’t have let her junior sister’s words provoke her into wanting to strike.
“Stop talking.”
Her hand fell limply to her side.
“I know you mean well, but Junior Sister Yunhuan is not that kind of person.”
In the end, Qin Yiqiu merely sidestepped Lin Rouyun, transforming into a streak of light as he flew toward the main peak to meet with the sect leader.
The sect’s market was indeed as bustling and noisy as Yuan Dingshan had described.
“Achoo!”
Luo Yunhuan rubbed her itchy nose, wondering why she felt as though someone was speaking ill of her behind her back.
[Host! Something terrible has happened!]
[Because the target of your affections has listened to slanderous words, the favorability points have dropped by 0.1!]
What?
Favorability points can decrease too?!
Luo Yunhuan could hardly believe her ears. Out of doubt, she asked the system again, only to receive the same answer.
The favorability points had indeed decreased—by 0.1. Though it was a small amount, it was a dangerous sign.
She had only just left her senior sister, and someone had already tried to sabotage her efforts. It seemed the whole world was against their relationship.
Luo Yunhuan felt a bit helpless but was not discouraged. Looking at the dazzling “Water Dragon’s Favor” in her inventory, she felt confident. As long as she gifted this set of clothing, her senior sister’s favorability would increase by at least one point!
Luo Yunhuan remained calm and continued browsing the sect’s market. Back in the secret realm, she had already sorted the materials she collected into categories, so her bartering with the other stall vendors proceeded quite smoothly.
She gathered as many tools as she needed for talisman-making. Yuan Dingshan, who had been following her like a loyal dog, stood nearby. As a talisman master himself, he immediately recognized that Luo Yunhuan was preparing materials for low- to mid-tier talismans. Gathering his courage, he spoke up.
“So, Junior Sister is preparing materials for talisman practice? I know a few senior brothers and sisters who specialize in supplying such materials. If you’re buying in bulk like this, they might offer you a discount.”
Talisman masters were rare, so only a few senior disciples in the sect gathered materials specifically for them. However, these suppliers often struggled to find buyers. Thus, purchasing in large quantities naturally came with a discount.
Surprisingly, this hanger-on was actually useful. Luo Yunhuan nodded in agreement.
“Then please lead the way, Senior Brother Yuan.”
After a busy day, Luo Yunhuan finally finished her shopping.
She no longer needed to ride the plump and gluttonous immortal cranes as she used to. Instead, she took out her gleaming flying sword.
Luo Yunhuan had been practicing with the flying sword for some time now. It was much like riding a bicycle at first, she struggled to control its direction, and the wobbling made her anxious. But once she got the hang of it, she found it incredibly convenient and easy to use.
No wonder it was so popular in the cultivation world.
Luo Yunhuan felt a sense of urgency. First, she wanted to gift the clothing she had prepared to her senior sister. Using the system to conceal the garment’s grade, it would appear as nothing more than a beautifully crafted outfit. Her senior sister wouldn’t realize its true value, but it would protect her at critical moments a perfect arrangement.
Second, she needed to investigate why the favorability points had decreased.
The system mentioned that this wasn’t the first time such a situation had occurred. After all, one’s feelings toward another could easily be influenced by the words of others whether it was affection or disdain.
The tassel on the sword swayed with the wind as Luo Yunhuan, like a dazzling meteor, soared past the mountain peaks of the sect, heading straight toward the main peak.
The disciples guarding the main peak looked up.
“Wait, flying is prohibited above the main peak!”
Luo Yunhuan abruptly halted at the foot of the main peak and tossed her token to the two guards.
“What, you don’t recognize me after just a month apart?”
She crossed her arms, her tone teasing.
But their gazes lingered on the sword in her hand.
“Impressive, Luo Yunhuan! You actually managed to pester the head senior sister into buying you such a beautiful flying sword!”
“Teach us, how do you win over women?”
Luo Yunhuan:
“The sect emphasizes quiet cultivation. Do you have the head senior sister’s capabilities?”
“If not, focus on your training. Otherwise, you might end up being caught by the head senior sister and forced to recite a confession in the public square.”
