Villainous Undercover (2)
“She…”
The system was stuck and couldn’t comprehend how a world, enticed by the enticing face of a villain, had turned into this state. Upon closer inspection, the villain remained the same, with only subtle changes.
The villain’s eyes were a bit colder, devoid of the previous radiant sparkle. Her lips were slightly darkened, and if it were just these flaws, she would still be considered beautiful. However, the scar that stretched across her entire face was truly shocking, making people avert their gaze after a single glance.
“Hahaha!”
After the system regained its senses, it couldn’t help but burst into laughter, releasing the pent-up anger that had been suppressed for centuries in that world. “Serves her right! Even the heavens have shown no mercy. I never expected she would face this day!”
Without that troublesome face, let’s see how she tries to seduce Xu Yi!
A moment of silence followed.
The system belatedly realized that Song Xu Yi didn’t agree with its words. Instead, Song Xu Yi pressed her lips together.
Only then did the system realize its arrogance and forgot to restrain itself, recalling Song Xu Yi’s usual conduct. The system quickly found an excuse: “Xu Yi, I wasn’t targeting her. I just remembered a wicked woman who looks similar to her.”
“Anyway, Xu Yi, you know the true nature of this villain. She may be ugly on the outside, but her heart is even uglier. Don’t let yourself be deceived or tempted by her…”
Song Xu Yi remained silent, and although she couldn’t hear the word “ugly” that the system used, she still found it somewhat grating. Even if Fu Xi Yu was a bad person, it wasn’t a reason to attack her appearance.
Moreover…
Song Xu Yi carefully examined Fu Xi Yu’s features. In truth, her facial features were quite delicate. The scars on her face were inflicted later in life. Most girls cared about their appearance, and for Fu Xi Yu to go from being a beauty to a feared scarred face, it must have been a difficult ordeal for her.
On the other hand, a nervous Song Xu glanced at Fu Xi Yu’s expression and his eyes widened. However, he immediately felt that it was impolite to stare directly at her face and hastily lowered his head.
Although Fu Xi Yu didn’t appear to be very old, as she approached, all the disciples on either side bowed their heads respectfully and spoke, “Senior Sister.”
Has Fu Xi Yu gained such influence within the Taiji Sect from this point onwards?
……
Song Xu Yi raised her head and observed the reactions of the people around her earnestly. However, she forgot about her own current appearance as a young girl. Unaware of it, she slightly tilted her head upward, with big round eyes spinning around. Her cheeks still held the adorable chubbiness of a baby, and her serious gaze as she surveyed the surroundings stood out among the crowd of submissive individuals.
Fu Xi Yu’s steps paused for a moment, her gaze swiftly scanning past Song Xu Yi’s face before nodding towards the people on either side. She then stood in front of Song Xu and Song Xu Yi.
Thinking that this was the day they entered the Taiji Sect, Song Xu dressed impeccably, meticulously groomed hair, and wore a new robe. He was already the most handsome among the Song family, and now, with the experience of worldly affairs, he exuded an unusual composure for his age. His appearance resembled that of a beautiful jade sculpture.
“This brother is so good-looking!” A young girl emerged from behind Fu Xi Yu, her eyes filled with astonishment as she looked at Song Xu. “He is so handsome that the Sect Master will definitely like him. Senior Sister Fu, you should accept him as a disciple!”
Listening to the system’s introduction of “this is the female protagonist, Gong Huan,” Song Xu Yi looked towards Gong Huan and was surprised to learn that she had already met Song Xu earlier.
However, it was evident that Gong Huan had little dignity in front of Fu Xi Yu. Fu Xi Yu coldly glanced at Gong Huan, causing her to shrink her neck and nervously halt her words, sticking out her tongue.
Fu Xi Yu’s gaze landed on Song Xu’s face, and her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“What is your name, how old are you, where do you come from, and why do you want to join our Taiji Sect?” Fu Xi Yu’s voice was flat and straightforward, without any fluctuation. Despite appearing young, she had an extremely mature demeanor.
“I am called Song Xu, 12 years old,” Song Xu nervously replied. “I come from Song Family Manor. Recently, the Demon Sect ravaged our home, and only my sister and I survived. I have come to the Taiji Sect to learn martial arts seriously, so that I can seek revenge against the Demon Sect once I have mastered my skills.”
As expected, just as written in the plot summary, Fu Xi Yu’s gaze remained unchanged while looking at Song Xu. She whispered a few words to a disciple beside her, and that disciple obediently turned around. When they returned, they held a money pouch that seemed quite heavy.
“Master Song, please accept my condolences and adapt to the changes,” Fu Xi Yu said, her words seemingly comforting, yet her tone remained steady without the slightest fluctuation. “I have long heard of Lord Yun Tian’s principles of righteousness and loyalty as the head of the Song Family Manor. Master Song, you truly possess the demeanor of your father. However, you have already surpassed the age for martial arts training, and the Demon Sect is formidable, beyond what a single person can contend with. The once grand Song Family Manor now only has you and your sister left. Master Song, you should take good care of yourself and your sister…”
“Our Taiji Sect never accepts disciples who exceed the age limit, and I hope Master Song can understand!” With that, Fu Xi Yu handed the money pouch to Song Xu. “Here is a small sum of money. I hope it can assist you in establishing yourself.”
Song Xu pursed his lips, his gaze momentarily blank, and he did not take the money pouch from Fu Xi Yu’s hand.
If following the original plot summary, Song Xu would have been devastated after going through hardships only to face rejection from the Taiji Sect, feeling utterly hopeless. However, though he initially faced difficulties, he had been taken care of by Master Chen and had received his promise that if Song Xu failed to become a disciple of the Taiji Sect, Master Chen would do his best to help him pursue martial arts within the Tian Sect…
Therefore, at this moment, Song Xu, although feeling disappointed, did not lose his composure as written in the plot summary. He took a deep breath, determined to express his resolution and negotiate with the woman in charge. However, before Song Xu could speak, a familiar, soft voice came from beside him. “My brother has exceeded the age limit, but I am only 6 years old. Can I join the Taiji Sect?”
Not only did Fu Xi Yu look at Song Xu Yi, but Song Xu also stared at her in astonishment—throughout the journey, Song Xu Yi had never shown any intention like this!
In fact, Song Xu Yi had just made a decision.
Originally, she had planned to follow the plot summary and enter the Medical Valley. After all, she had learned medical skills, and entering the Medical Valley would provide her with opportunities for recognition. However, upon seeing Fu Xi Yu’s current enrollment in the Taiji Sect and realizing that Fu Xi Yu had infiltrated the sect more deeply than Song Xu Yi had imagined, she was afraid that there might be further complications in the future. Therefore, Song Xu Yi spontaneously changed her mind: she decided to join the Taiji Sect to keep an eye on Fu Xi Yu.
As for the Medical Valley, it was still located in Nanchun, and she had heard that the Medical Valley also accepted visiting disciples. She believed that she could find an opportunity to join them as well.
“My brother is determined to seek revenge, and naturally, I also want to avenge our parents!” Song Xu Yi forcefully pretended to show a righteous indignation, speaking loudly.
Upon hearing Song Xu Yi’s words, tears welled up in Song Xu’s eyes, originally filled with some confusion. He felt remorse and pain in his heart—never had he thought that his sister also harbored thoughts of revenge! Song Xu deeply regretted not discovering his sister’s intentions earlier. He wanted to dissuade Song Xu Yi, but being in a public setting, he had to temporarily suppress his words of persuasion.
Fu Xi Yu’s gaze also fell upon Song Xu Yi’s face. Seeing the little girl’s eyes spinning around, her determined expression, Fu Xi Yu’s eyes darkened. She sternly bent down and pinched Song Xu Yi’s slightly chubby cheeks. “Little girl, although you are not too old to join, you will have to go through assessments. Can you withstand it?”
Fu Xi Yu’s fingers were icy cold, and when she touched Song Xu Yi, a shiver involuntarily ran down her spine. As an adult being called “little girl” by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, Song Xu Yi felt extremely uncomfortable. However, considering that her ability to join the sect was still under the control of this villain before her, Song Xu Yi could only endure it and forced a smile as she looked at Fu Xi Yu. “I can withstand it.”
Song Xu Yi didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but for a brief moment, a hint of amusement flashed in Fu Xi Yu’s indifferent eyes. Yet, when Song Xu Yi looked again, Fu Xi Yu had returned to her cold demeanor.
Fu Xi Yu waved her hand, and two stern-looking elderly women appeared behind her. The two women walked to Song Xu Yi’s side, with one skillfully pulling on Song Xu Yi’s arms, legs, and neck, while the other directly pressed her hand against Song Xu Yi’s chest—
A domineering aura flowed into Song Xu Yi’s body through her chest, wandering through her meridians as if it wanted to burst out from her limbs. Every part of Song Xu Yi’s body was in pain, to the point where she felt that she might explode and perish.
However, noticing Fu Xi Yu’s gaze fixed on her face and remembering her own boastful words, Song Xu Yi bit her lip tightly. Despite her pale complexion, she held on, refusing to cry out in pain.
“Sister! Don’t hold on anymore—”
If it were Song Xu suffering torment, he felt he wouldn’t be afraid at all. However, seeing his sister’s pale face, Song Xu couldn’t help but express his distress.
But the assessments had already begun and were bound to continue. Song Xu Yi had no time to listen to Song Xu’s words. She only felt that her body was like a ball filled with inner strength, aching everywhere…
It was uncertain how long had passed, as if it were a moment and yet also like a very long time. The two elderly women finally stopped the assessment, and Song Xu Yi no longer had the strength to stand. As soon as the two women released their hold, Song Xu Yi collapsed weakly to the ground.
Song Xu quickly stepped forward and supported Song Xu Yi’s falling body.
The two elderly women looked at Song Xu Yi with some astonishment. They leaned in and whispered something to Fu Xi Yu, whose eyes flickered as she nodded. Finally, her gaze returned to Song Xu Yi. “I didn’t expect you, little girl, to have such outstanding aptitude. In that case, our Taiji Sect will accept you as a disciple.”
“First, bid farewell to your family,” Fu Xi Yu’s gaze swept past Song Xu standing beside them. She took out a token and tossed it into Song Xu Yi’s arms, then turned around with the two elderly women. “Come to the mountain gate in three days.”
Song Xu was already too preoccupied with dissuading his sister’s thoughts and had no room in his mind to consider joining the Taiji Sect. Moreover, during their descent from the mountain, Song Xu encountered his wandering swordsman master once again. He became even more determined to prevent Song Xu Yi from joining the Taiji Sect. Seeking revenge was his responsibility; his dear and sensible sister only needed his protection and a peaceful upbringing…
However, his meager skills were far from convincing Song Xu Yi. She even managed to persuade him with the reasoning of “the dominance of the Demon Sect, imminent chaos in the world, and my pursuit of martial arts for self-defense.” In the end, he reluctantly agreed to let Song Xu Yi join the Taiji Sect.
Over the next two days, Song Xu Yi stayed in the bamboo house of their wandering swordsman master with Song Xu. They purchased essential daily necessities. On the second evening, Song Xu Yi took off the amulet necklace around her neck and handed it to Song Xu.
“Brother, this is the birthday gift our mother gave me when I turned 6. I’m afraid of losing it if I bring it into the Taiji Sect, so you must keep it safe and not let it get lost,” Song Xu Yi said.
Song Xu nodded repeatedly, trusting her completely.
Only Song Xu Yi knew that hidden within that amulet necklace was the greatest secret of the Song family.
Although the Demon Sect was formidable, when all the heroes of the world gathered together, the Demon Sect was no match for the righteous path. The reason why the righteous path had always tolerated the existence of the Demon Sect was that one of the previous sect masters of the Demon Sect was the most talented mechanical engineer who designed the most impregnable stronghold in the world, perfectly suited to the terrain. The terrain within the Demon Sect was treacherous, filled with intricate mechanical traps. Even the members of the Demon Sect might not know all the traps, and those who were unfamiliar with the terrain would have no chance of returning if they entered.
Moreover, the people within the Demon Sect were cunning. Once they sensed any intention from the righteous path to annihilate them, they would retreat into their stronghold and remain hidden for a long time. The righteous path resented this but could do nothing about it.
Ten years ago, a group of brave infiltrators managed to enter the Demon Sect undercover. They risked their lives to map out the layout of the Demon Sect, but only three of them managed to escape. They painstakingly copied the map three times and sent each copy to different locations.
Originally, the plan was for the three individuals to rally the heroes of the world and launch an attack on the Demon Sect. However, somehow the plan was leaked before it could even begin, and the undercover infiltrators faced relentless pursuit from the Demon Sect. Two of the maps were destroyed by the Demon Sect.
By a stroke of luck, the Song family fortuitously received the third copy of the map.
The person who sent the map was the closest friend of the original body’s father. The two families had an excellent relationship. However, that person didn’t tell the original body’s father that it was a map of the Demon Sect. They only emphasized its importance and promised to retrieve it in the future. Unfortunately, not long after, that person’s entire family perished in the siege by the Demon Sect.
The original body’s mother always felt that the map brought disaster. She convinced the original body’s father to make a replica of the map using lightweight materials and placed it inside their daughter’s amulet. Then, they burned the original map.
However, the Song family couldn’t escape the catastrophe, as the Demon Sect still discovered the connection to their family.
This map was the key to future operations against the Demon Sect, and naturally, Song Xu Yi dared not easily give it away. However, she felt something suspicious about Fu Xi Yu’s offer to bring her into the Taiji Sect. After careful consideration, Song Xu Yi stayed up all night to make a copy of the map hidden inside the amulet. She carefully inserted the replicated map into a hollow hairpin, while the amulet itself was given to Song Xu.
With everything prepared flawlessly, on the third day at dawn, Song Xu Yi, facing Song Xu’s reluctant gaze, shouldered her bag and set off for the Taiji Sect.
After presenting the token given by Fu Xi Yu, the gatekeeper allowed Song Xu Yi to enter the mountain gate. Seeing Song Xu Yi’s adorable appearance and her struggling with a large bag, the gatekeeper couldn’t help but comment, “You should go to the practice field and find Senior Sister Xi Yu. The leader of the Nanyou Hall has been injured, and recently, Senior Xi Yu has been taking care of matters related to new disciples. She’s currently teaching footwork to the new disciples.”
“Is Senior Sister Xi Yu the sister I saw the other day? She looks so imposing!” Song Xu Yi listened to the shouting in the practice field and thought that the training wouldn’t end anytime soon. So she decided to engage in conversation with the gatekeeper, putting on an admiring expression as she looked at him. “Did she also join around the same time as me? Who will be my martial arts master after I join? Will I become as impressive as her in the future?”
“Senior Sister Xi Yu is the grand disciple of the sect leader, exceptionally talented, naturally holding a distinguished status,” the gatekeeper replied, his face beaming with pride as he mentioned Fu Xi Yu. However, he was unaware of the remaining questions. Being just a teenager himself, he felt embarrassed that he couldn’t answer the new disciple’s questions. His eyes shifted, and he glanced at Song Xu Yi’s plump and tender cheeks, coming up with an idea.
“As for the remaining questions…” the gatekeeper deliberately prolonged his words, looking at Song Xu Yi’s cheeks. “If you let me pinch your cheeks, I’ll tell you!”
In his understanding, his younger sister at home hated having her cheeks pinched. The little girl would surely refuse, and if she didn’t agree, he wouldn’t need to answer those difficult questions.
However, this young girl in front of him had the spirit of an adult. Although Song Xu Yi also disliked having her cheeks pinched, she was an adult, and adults had the option to endure humiliation and bear burdens.
Song Xu Yi pursed her lips and after a moment of contemplation, she lifted her head, wearing a face of hidden tolerance, and extended her face towards the gatekeeper. “Go ahead, pinch!”
The gatekeeper found himself in a dilemma. He hadn’t expected this young girl to be completely different from his sister at home. In order to save face, the gatekeeper decided to come up with a random answer to placate the young girl…
“As you wish!” The gatekeeper coughed nervously, about to reach out and pinch Song Xu Yi’s cheek, when suddenly, a cold and indifferent voice sounded from beside them.
“Xiao Wu!”
The gatekeeper, referred to as Xiao Wu by Fu Xi Yu, immediately withdrew his hand and stood upright.
Fu Xi Yu stood with her arms crossed, not knowing how long she had been observing. Her expression remained as indifferent as ever. Seeing the look in Song Xu Yi’s eyes, Fu Xi Yu reached out and picked up Song Xu Yi’s baggage. “Little girl, come with me.”
Here we go again…
The two words “little girl” from the future villain’s mouth sounded to Song Xu Yi like a nightmare come to life!
“Sister,” unable to hold back her words at the thought of future interactions with Fu Xi Yu, Song Xu Yi spoke up. “My name is Song Xu Yi! You can call me ‘Xu Yi,’ sister.”
However, Fu Xi Yu lived up to her name and cherished every word she spoke. Song Xu Yi had no idea whether she had been listening or not. Fu Xi Yu silently turned around with the package in her hands and led Song Xu Yi through the vast halls of the Taiji Sect.
The Taiji Sect was astonishingly large, and Song Xu Yi couldn’t take it all in at once. Fu Xi Yu was tall with long legs, and even though she didn’t walk fast, Song Xu Yi, a little round figure, couldn’t keep up with her pace. Despite her best efforts to catch up, Song Xu Yi was left far behind by Fu Xi Yu.
Gasping for breath, Song Xu Yi trailed behind Fu Xi Yu. She still carried the burdens of an adult in her heart and didn’t want to ask for help because of her short legs. Moreover, the person in front of her was the future villain. Song Xu Yi could only grit her teeth and focus on Fu Xi Yu’s long legs, pushing herself forward relentlessly.
Reaching a fork in the road, Fu Xi Yu suddenly stopped and turned around, seemingly reminded of something.
Song Xu Yi was taken aback, thinking that Fu Xi Yu had finally realized her difficulties and was relieved. She quickened her pace but failed to notice the indifferent gaze of Fu Xi Yu falling upon her flushed little face, caused by her running.
“I joined the Taiji Sect when I was 7 years old,” Fu Xi Yu stated in a cold voice as Song Xu Yi gasped for breath and caught up to her.
“You have exceptional talent and endurance. After I inform the Sect Leader, they have decided to accept you as my junior sister. From now on, you will be under my tutelage.”
“As for whether you can be as imposing as me in the future,” Fu Xi Yu said, meeting Song Xu Yi’s widened eyes. She lightly pinched Song Xu Yi’s flushed cheeks with her slender, calloused fingers, then took advantage of the situation to tease Song Xu Yi’s chubby double chin. In her pitch-black eyes, ripples seemed to form, revealing a hint of evident amusement.
“When I was young, I never allowed others to pinch my cheeks.”
“Little—Xu Yi!”
The author has something to say:
Current Little Fu: Does this little round figure really think she can be as imposing as me?
Current Xu Yi: You scoundrel! Are you teaming up with Xiaogang? I’m not little!!!
Future Little Fu (^_^): Come on then! I allow you to show off your imposing ways in all sorts of manners against me!
Future Xu Yi (T_T): So frustrated! There’s one particular aspect where I really am smaller than her… T_T
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Villainous Undercover (2)
“She…”
The system was stuck and couldn’t comprehend how a world, enticed by the enticing face of a villain, had turned into this state. Upon closer inspection, the villain remained the same, with only subtle changes.
The villain’s eyes were a bit colder, devoid of the previous radiant sparkle. Her lips were slightly darkened, and if it were just these flaws, she would still be considered beautiful. However, the scar that stretched across her entire face was truly shocking, making people avert their gaze after a single glance.
“Hahaha!”
After the system regained its senses, it couldn’t help but burst into laughter, releasing the pent-up anger that had been suppressed for centuries in that world. “Serves her right! Even the heavens have shown no mercy. I never expected she would face this day!”
Without that troublesome face, let’s see how she tries to seduce Xu Yi!
A moment of silence followed.
The system belatedly realized that Song Xu Yi didn’t agree with its words. Instead, Song Xu Yi pressed her lips together.
Only then did the system realize its arrogance and forgot to restrain itself, recalling Song Xu Yi’s usual conduct. The system quickly found an excuse: “Xu Yi, I wasn’t targeting her. I just remembered a wicked woman who looks similar to her.”
“Anyway, Xu Yi, you know the true nature of this villain. She may be ugly on the outside, but her heart is even uglier. Don’t let yourself be deceived or tempted by her…”
Song Xu Yi remained silent, and although she couldn’t hear the word “ugly” that the system used, she still found it somewhat grating. Even if Fu Xi Yu was a bad person, it wasn’t a reason to attack her appearance.
Moreover…
Song Xu Yi carefully examined Fu Xi Yu’s features. In truth, her facial features were quite delicate. The scars on her face were inflicted later in life. Most girls cared about their appearance, and for Fu Xi Yu to go from being a beauty to a feared scarred face, it must have been a difficult ordeal for her.
On the other hand, a nervous Song Xu glanced at Fu Xi Yu’s expression and his eyes widened. However, he immediately felt that it was impolite to stare directly at her face and hastily lowered his head.
Although Fu Xi Yu didn’t appear to be very old, as she approached, all the disciples on either side bowed their heads respectfully and spoke, “Senior Sister.”
Has Fu Xi Yu gained such influence within the Taiji Sect from this point onwards?
……
Song Xu Yi raised her head and observed the reactions of the people around her earnestly. However, she forgot about her own current appearance as a young girl. Unaware of it, she slightly tilted her head upward, with big round eyes spinning around. Her cheeks still held the adorable chubbiness of a baby, and her serious gaze as she surveyed the surroundings stood out among the crowd of submissive individuals.
Fu Xi Yu’s steps paused for a moment, her gaze swiftly scanning past Song Xu Yi’s face before nodding towards the people on either side. She then stood in front of Song Xu and Song Xu Yi.
Thinking that this was the day they entered the Taiji Sect, Song Xu dressed impeccably, meticulously groomed hair, and wore a new robe. He was already the most handsome among the Song family, and now, with the experience of worldly affairs, he exuded an unusual composure for his age. His appearance resembled that of a beautiful jade sculpture.
“This brother is so good-looking!” A young girl emerged from behind Fu Xi Yu, her eyes filled with astonishment as she looked at Song Xu. “He is so handsome that the Sect Master will definitely like him. Senior Sister Fu, you should accept him as a disciple!”
Listening to the system’s introduction of “this is the female protagonist, Gong Huan,” Song Xu Yi looked towards Gong Huan and was surprised to learn that she had already met Song Xu earlier.
However, it was evident that Gong Huan had little dignity in front of Fu Xi Yu. Fu Xi Yu coldly glanced at Gong Huan, causing her to shrink her neck and nervously halt her words, sticking out her tongue.
Fu Xi Yu’s gaze landed on Song Xu’s face, and her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“What is your name, how old are you, where do you come from, and why do you want to join our Taiji Sect?” Fu Xi Yu’s voice was flat and straightforward, without any fluctuation. Despite appearing young, she had an extremely mature demeanor.
“I am called Song Xu, 12 years old,” Song Xu nervously replied. “I come from Song Family Manor. Recently, the Demon Sect ravaged our home, and only my sister and I survived. I have come to the Taiji Sect to learn martial arts seriously, so that I can seek revenge against the Demon Sect once I have mastered my skills.”
As expected, just as written in the plot summary, Fu Xi Yu’s gaze remained unchanged while looking at Song Xu. She whispered a few words to a disciple beside her, and that disciple obediently turned around. When they returned, they held a money pouch that seemed quite heavy.
“Master Song, please accept my condolences and adapt to the changes,” Fu Xi Yu said, her words seemingly comforting, yet her tone remained steady without the slightest fluctuation. “I have long heard of Lord Yun Tian’s principles of righteousness and loyalty as the head of the Song Family Manor. Master Song, you truly possess the demeanor of your father. However, you have already surpassed the age for martial arts training, and the Demon Sect is formidable, beyond what a single person can contend with. The once grand Song Family Manor now only has you and your sister left. Master Song, you should take good care of yourself and your sister…”
“Our Taiji Sect never accepts disciples who exceed the age limit, and I hope Master Song can understand!” With that, Fu Xi Yu handed the money pouch to Song Xu. “Here is a small sum of money. I hope it can assist you in establishing yourself.”
Song Xu pursed his lips, his gaze momentarily blank, and he did not take the money pouch from Fu Xi Yu’s hand.
If following the original plot summary, Song Xu would have been devastated after going through hardships only to face rejection from the Taiji Sect, feeling utterly hopeless. However, though he initially faced difficulties, he had been taken care of by Master Chen and had received his promise that if Song Xu failed to become a disciple of the Taiji Sect, Master Chen would do his best to help him pursue martial arts within the Tian Sect…
Therefore, at this moment, Song Xu, although feeling disappointed, did not lose his composure as written in the plot summary. He took a deep breath, determined to express his resolution and negotiate with the woman in charge. However, before Song Xu could speak, a familiar, soft voice came from beside him. “My brother has exceeded the age limit, but I am only 6 years old. Can I join the Taiji Sect?”
Not only did Fu Xi Yu look at Song Xu Yi, but Song Xu also stared at her in astonishment—throughout the journey, Song Xu Yi had never shown any intention like this!
In fact, Song Xu Yi had just made a decision.
Originally, she had planned to follow the plot summary and enter the Medical Valley. After all, she had learned medical skills, and entering the Medical Valley would provide her with opportunities for recognition. However, upon seeing Fu Xi Yu’s current enrollment in the Taiji Sect and realizing that Fu Xi Yu had infiltrated the sect more deeply than Song Xu Yi had imagined, she was afraid that there might be further complications in the future. Therefore, Song Xu Yi spontaneously changed her mind: she decided to join the Taiji Sect to keep an eye on Fu Xi Yu.
As for the Medical Valley, it was still located in Nanchun, and she had heard that the Medical Valley also accepted visiting disciples. She believed that she could find an opportunity to join them as well.
“My brother is determined to seek revenge, and naturally, I also want to avenge our parents!” Song Xu Yi forcefully pretended to show a righteous indignation, speaking loudly.
Upon hearing Song Xu Yi’s words, tears welled up in Song Xu’s eyes, originally filled with some confusion. He felt remorse and pain in his heart—never had he thought that his sister also harbored thoughts of revenge! Song Xu deeply regretted not discovering his sister’s intentions earlier. He wanted to dissuade Song Xu Yi, but being in a public setting, he had to temporarily suppress his words of persuasion.
Fu Xi Yu’s gaze also fell upon Song Xu Yi’s face. Seeing the little girl’s eyes spinning around, her determined expression, Fu Xi Yu’s eyes darkened. She sternly bent down and pinched Song Xu Yi’s slightly chubby cheeks. “Little girl, although you are not too old to join, you will have to go through assessments. Can you withstand it?”
Fu Xi Yu’s fingers were icy cold, and when she touched Song Xu Yi, a shiver involuntarily ran down her spine. As an adult being called “little girl” by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, Song Xu Yi felt extremely uncomfortable. However, considering that her ability to join the sect was still under the control of this villain before her, Song Xu Yi could only endure it and forced a smile as she looked at Fu Xi Yu. “I can withstand it.”
Song Xu Yi didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but for a brief moment, a hint of amusement flashed in Fu Xi Yu’s indifferent eyes. Yet, when Song Xu Yi looked again, Fu Xi Yu had returned to her cold demeanor.
Fu Xi Yu waved her hand, and two stern-looking elderly women appeared behind her. The two women walked to Song Xu Yi’s side, with one skillfully pulling on Song Xu Yi’s arms, legs, and neck, while the other directly pressed her hand against Song Xu Yi’s chest—
A domineering aura flowed into Song Xu Yi’s body through her chest, wandering through her meridians as if it wanted to burst out from her limbs. Every part of Song Xu Yi’s body was in pain, to the point where she felt that she might explode and perish.
However, noticing Fu Xi Yu’s gaze fixed on her face and remembering her own boastful words, Song Xu Yi bit her lip tightly. Despite her pale complexion, she held on, refusing to cry out in pain.
“Sister! Don’t hold on anymore—”
If it were Song Xu suffering torment, he felt he wouldn’t be afraid at all. However, seeing his sister’s pale face, Song Xu couldn’t help but express his distress.
But the assessments had already begun and were bound to continue. Song Xu Yi had no time to listen to Song Xu’s words. She only felt that her body was like a ball filled with inner strength, aching everywhere…
It was uncertain how long had passed, as if it were a moment and yet also like a very long time. The two elderly women finally stopped the assessment, and Song Xu Yi no longer had the strength to stand. As soon as the two women released their hold, Song Xu Yi collapsed weakly to the ground.
Song Xu quickly stepped forward and supported Song Xu Yi’s falling body.
The two elderly women looked at Song Xu Yi with some astonishment. They leaned in and whispered something to Fu Xi Yu, whose eyes flickered as she nodded. Finally, her gaze returned to Song Xu Yi. “I didn’t expect you, little girl, to have such outstanding aptitude. In that case, our Taiji Sect will accept you as a disciple.”
“First, bid farewell to your family,” Fu Xi Yu’s gaze swept past Song Xu standing beside them. She took out a token and tossed it into Song Xu Yi’s arms, then turned around with the two elderly women. “Come to the mountain gate in three days.”
Song Xu was already too preoccupied with dissuading his sister’s thoughts and had no room in his mind to consider joining the Taiji Sect. Moreover, during their descent from the mountain, Song Xu encountered his wandering swordsman master once again. He became even more determined to prevent Song Xu Yi from joining the Taiji Sect. Seeking revenge was his responsibility; his dear and sensible sister only needed his protection and a peaceful upbringing…
However, his meager skills were far from convincing Song Xu Yi. She even managed to persuade him with the reasoning of “the dominance of the Demon Sect, imminent chaos in the world, and my pursuit of martial arts for self-defense.” In the end, he reluctantly agreed to let Song Xu Yi join the Taiji Sect.
Over the next two days, Song Xu Yi stayed in the bamboo house of their wandering swordsman master with Song Xu. They purchased essential daily necessities. On the second evening, Song Xu Yi took off the amulet necklace around her neck and handed it to Song Xu.
“Brother, this is the birthday gift our mother gave me when I turned 6. I’m afraid of losing it if I bring it into the Taiji Sect, so you must keep it safe and not let it get lost,” Song Xu Yi said.
Song Xu nodded repeatedly, trusting her completely.
Only Song Xu Yi knew that hidden within that amulet necklace was the greatest secret of the Song family.
Although the Demon Sect was formidable, when all the heroes of the world gathered together, the Demon Sect was no match for the righteous path. The reason why the righteous path had always tolerated the existence of the Demon Sect was that one of the previous sect masters of the Demon Sect was the most talented mechanical engineer who designed the most impregnable stronghold in the world, perfectly suited to the terrain. The terrain within the Demon Sect was treacherous, filled with intricate mechanical traps. Even the members of the Demon Sect might not know all the traps, and those who were unfamiliar with the terrain would have no chance of returning if they entered.
Moreover, the people within the Demon Sect were cunning. Once they sensed any intention from the righteous path to annihilate them, they would retreat into their stronghold and remain hidden for a long time. The righteous path resented this but could do nothing about it.
Ten years ago, a group of brave infiltrators managed to enter the Demon Sect undercover. They risked their lives to map out the layout of the Demon Sect, but only three of them managed to escape. They painstakingly copied the map three times and sent each copy to different locations.
Originally, the plan was for the three individuals to rally the heroes of the world and launch an attack on the Demon Sect. However, somehow the plan was leaked before it could even begin, and the undercover infiltrators faced relentless pursuit from the Demon Sect. Two of the maps were destroyed by the Demon Sect.
By a stroke of luck, the Song family fortuitously received the third copy of the map.
The person who sent the map was the closest friend of the original body’s father. The two families had an excellent relationship. However, that person didn’t tell the original body’s father that it was a map of the Demon Sect. They only emphasized its importance and promised to retrieve it in the future. Unfortunately, not long after, that person’s entire family perished in the siege by the Demon Sect.
The original body’s mother always felt that the map brought disaster. She convinced the original body’s father to make a replica of the map using lightweight materials and placed it inside their daughter’s amulet. Then, they burned the original map.
However, the Song family couldn’t escape the catastrophe, as the Demon Sect still discovered the connection to their family.
This map was the key to future operations against the Demon Sect, and naturally, Song Xu Yi dared not easily give it away. However, she felt something suspicious about Fu Xi Yu’s offer to bring her into the Taiji Sect. After careful consideration, Song Xu Yi stayed up all night to make a copy of the map hidden inside the amulet. She carefully inserted the replicated map into a hollow hairpin, while the amulet itself was given to Song Xu.
With everything prepared flawlessly, on the third day at dawn, Song Xu Yi, facing Song Xu’s reluctant gaze, shouldered her bag and set off for the Taiji Sect.
After presenting the token given by Fu Xi Yu, the gatekeeper allowed Song Xu Yi to enter the mountain gate. Seeing Song Xu Yi’s adorable appearance and her struggling with a large bag, the gatekeeper couldn’t help but comment, “You should go to the practice field and find Senior Sister Xi Yu. The leader of the Nanyou Hall has been injured, and recently, Senior Xi Yu has been taking care of matters related to new disciples. She’s currently teaching footwork to the new disciples.”
“Is Senior Sister Xi Yu the sister I saw the other day? She looks so imposing!” Song Xu Yi listened to the shouting in the practice field and thought that the training wouldn’t end anytime soon. So she decided to engage in conversation with the gatekeeper, putting on an admiring expression as she looked at him. “Did she also join around the same time as me? Who will be my martial arts master after I join? Will I become as impressive as her in the future?”
“Senior Sister Xi Yu is the grand disciple of the sect leader, exceptionally talented, naturally holding a distinguished status,” the gatekeeper replied, his face beaming with pride as he mentioned Fu Xi Yu. However, he was unaware of the remaining questions. Being just a teenager himself, he felt embarrassed that he couldn’t answer the new disciple’s questions. His eyes shifted, and he glanced at Song Xu Yi’s plump and tender cheeks, coming up with an idea.
“As for the remaining questions…” the gatekeeper deliberately prolonged his words, looking at Song Xu Yi’s cheeks. “If you let me pinch your cheeks, I’ll tell you!”
In his understanding, his younger sister at home hated having her cheeks pinched. The little girl would surely refuse, and if she didn’t agree, he wouldn’t need to answer those difficult questions.
However, this young girl in front of him had the spirit of an adult. Although Song Xu Yi also disliked having her cheeks pinched, she was an adult, and adults had the option to endure humiliation and bear burdens.
Song Xu Yi pursed her lips and after a moment of contemplation, she lifted her head, wearing a face of hidden tolerance, and extended her face towards the gatekeeper. “Go ahead, pinch!”
The gatekeeper found himself in a dilemma. He hadn’t expected this young girl to be completely different from his sister at home. In order to save face, the gatekeeper decided to come up with a random answer to placate the young girl…
“As you wish!” The gatekeeper coughed nervously, about to reach out and pinch Song Xu Yi’s cheek, when suddenly, a cold and indifferent voice sounded from beside them.
“Xiao Wu!”
The gatekeeper, referred to as Xiao Wu by Fu Xi Yu, immediately withdrew his hand and stood upright.
Fu Xi Yu stood with her arms crossed, not knowing how long she had been observing. Her expression remained as indifferent as ever. Seeing the look in Song Xu Yi’s eyes, Fu Xi Yu reached out and picked up Song Xu Yi’s baggage. “Little girl, come with me.”
Here we go again…
The two words “little girl” from the future villain’s mouth sounded to Song Xu Yi like a nightmare come to life!
“Sister,” unable to hold back her words at the thought of future interactions with Fu Xi Yu, Song Xu Yi spoke up. “My name is Song Xu Yi! You can call me ‘Xu Yi,’ sister.”
However, Fu Xi Yu lived up to her name and cherished every word she spoke. Song Xu Yi had no idea whether she had been listening or not. Fu Xi Yu silently turned around with the package in her hands and led Song Xu Yi through the vast halls of the Taiji Sect.
The Taiji Sect was astonishingly large, and Song Xu Yi couldn’t take it all in at once. Fu Xi Yu was tall with long legs, and even though she didn’t walk fast, Song Xu Yi, a little round figure, couldn’t keep up with her pace. Despite her best efforts to catch up, Song Xu Yi was left far behind by Fu Xi Yu.
Gasping for breath, Song Xu Yi trailed behind Fu Xi Yu. She still carried the burdens of an adult in her heart and didn’t want to ask for help because of her short legs. Moreover, the person in front of her was the future villain. Song Xu Yi could only grit her teeth and focus on Fu Xi Yu’s long legs, pushing herself forward relentlessly.
Reaching a fork in the road, Fu Xi Yu suddenly stopped and turned around, seemingly reminded of something.
Song Xu Yi was taken aback, thinking that Fu Xi Yu had finally realized her difficulties and was relieved. She quickened her pace but failed to notice the indifferent gaze of Fu Xi Yu falling upon her flushed little face, caused by her running.
“I joined the Taiji Sect when I was 7 years old,” Fu Xi Yu stated in a cold voice as Song Xu Yi gasped for breath and caught up to her.
“You have exceptional talent and endurance. After I inform the Sect Leader, they have decided to accept you as my junior sister. From now on, you will be under my tutelage.”
“As for whether you can be as imposing as me in the future,” Fu Xi Yu said, meeting Song Xu Yi’s widened eyes. She lightly pinched Song Xu Yi’s flushed cheeks with her slender, calloused fingers, then took advantage of the situation to tease Song Xu Yi’s chubby double chin. In her pitch-black eyes, ripples seemed to form, revealing a hint of evident amusement.
“When I was young, I never allowed others to pinch my cheeks.”
“Little—Xu Yi!”
The author has something to say:
Current Little Fu: Does this little round figure really think she can be as imposing as me?
Current Xu Yi: You scoundrel! Are you teaming up with Xiaogang? I’m not little!!!
Future Little Fu (^_^): Come on then! I allow you to show off your imposing ways in all sorts of manners against me!
Future Xu Yi (T_T): So frustrated! There’s one particular aspect where I really am smaller than her… T_T
Villainous Undercover2SheThe system was stuck and couldn't comprehend how a world, enticed by the enticing face of a villain, had turned into this state. Upon closer inspection, the villain remained the same, with only subtle changes.The villain's eyes were a bit colder, devoid of the previous radiant sparkle. Her lips were slightly darkened, and if it were just these flaws, she would still be considered beautiful. However, the scar that stretched across her entire face was truly shocking, making people avert their gaze after a single glance.Hahaha!After the system regained its senses, it couldn't help but burst into laughter, releasing the pent-up anger that had been suppressed for centuries in that world. Serves her right! Even the heavens have shown no mercy. I never expected she would face this day!Without that troublesome face, let's see how she tries to seduce Xu Yi!A moment of silence followed.The system belatedly realized that Song Xu Yi didn't agree with its words. Instead, Song Xu Yi pressed her lips together.Only then did the system realize its arrogance and forgot to restrain itself, recalling Song Xu Yi's usual conduct. The system quickly found an excuse: Xu Yi, I wasn't targeting her. I just remembered a wicked woman who looks similar to her.Anyway, Xu Yi, you know the true nature of this villain. She may be ugly on the outside, but her heart is even uglier. Don't let yourself be deceived or tempted by herSong Xu Yi remained silent, and although she couldn't hear the word ugly that the system used, she still found it somewhat grating. Even if Fu Xi Yu was a bad person, it wasn't a reason to attack her appearance.MoreoverSong Xu Yi carefully examined Fu Xi Yu's features. In truth, her facial features were quite delicate. The scars on her face were inflicted later in life. Most girls cared about their appearance, and for Fu Xi Yu to go from being a beauty to a feared scarred face, it must have been a difficult ordeal for her.On the other hand, a nervous Song Xu glanced at Fu Xi Yu's expression and his eyes widened. However, he immediately felt that it was impolite to stare directly at her face and hastily lowered his head.Although Fu Xi Yu didn't appear to be very old, as she approached, all the disciples on either side bowed their heads respectfully and spoke, Senior Sister.Has Fu Xi Yu gained such influence within the Taiji Sect from this point onwards?Song Xu Yi raised her head and observed the reactions of the people around her earnestly. However, she forgot about her own current appearance as a young girl. Unaware of it, she slightly tilted her head upward, with big round eyes spinning around. Her cheeks still held the adorable chubbiness of a baby, and her serious gaze as she surveyed the surroundings stood out among the crowd of submissive individuals.Fu Xi Yu's steps paused for a moment, her gaze swiftly scanning past Song Xu Yi's face before nodding towards the people on either side. She then stood in front of Song Xu and Song Xu Yi.Thinking that this was the day they entered the Taiji Sect, Song Xu dressed impeccably, meticulously groomed hair, and wore a new robe. He was already the most handsome among the Song family, and now, with the experience of worldly affairs, he exuded an unusual composure for his age. His appearance resembled that of a beautiful jade sculpture.This brother is so good-looking! A young girl emerged from behind Fu Xi Yu, her eyes filled with astonishment as she looked at Song Xu. He is so handsome that the Sect Master will definitely like him. Senior Sister Fu, you should accept him as a disciple!Listening to the system's introduction of this is the female protagonist, Gong Huan, Song Xu Yi looked towards Gong Huan and was surprised to learn that she had already met Song Xu earlier.However, it was evident that Gong Huan had little dignity in front of Fu Xi Yu. Fu Xi Yu coldly glanced at Gong Huan, causing her to shrink her neck and nervously halt her words, sticking out her tongue.Fu Xi Yu's gaze landed on Song Xu's face, and her eyebrows slightly furrowed.What is your name, how old are you, where do you come from, and why do you want to join our Taiji Sect? Fu Xi Yu's voice was flat and straightforward, without any fluctuation. Despite appearing young, she had an extremely mature demeanor.I am called Song Xu, 12 years old, Song Xu nervously replied. I come from Song Family Manor. Recently, the Demon Sect ravaged our home, and only my sister and I survived. I have come to the Taiji Sect to learn martial arts seriously, so that I can seek revenge against the Demon Sect once I have mastered my skills.As expected, just as written in the plot summary, Fu Xi Yu's gaze remained unchanged while looking at Song Xu. She whispered a few words to a disciple beside her, and that disciple obediently turned around. When they returned, they held a money pouch that seemed quite heavy.Master Song, please accept my condolences and adapt to the changes, Fu Xi Yu said, her words seemingly comforting, yet her tone remained steady without the slightest fluctuation. I have long heard of Lord Yun Tian's principles of righteousness and loyalty as the head of the Song Family Manor. Master Song, you truly possess the demeanor of your father. However, you have already surpassed the age for martial arts training, and the Demon Sect is formidable, beyond what a single person can contend with. The once grand Song Family Manor now only has you and your sister left. Master Song, you should take good care of yourself and your sisterOur Taiji Sect never accepts disciples who exceed the age limit, and I hope Master Song can understand! With that, Fu Xi Yu handed the money pouch to Song Xu. Here is a small sum of money. I hope it can assist you in establishing yourself.Song Xu pursed his lips, his gaze momentarily blank, and he did not take the money pouch from Fu Xi Yu's hand.If following the original plot summary, Song Xu would have been devastated after going through hardships only to face rejection from the Taiji Sect, feeling utterly hopeless. However, though he initially faced difficulties, he had been taken care of by Master Chen and had received his promise that if Song Xu failed to become a disciple of the Taiji Sect, Master Chen would do his best to help him pursue martial arts within the Tian SectTherefore, at this moment, Song Xu, although feeling disappointed, did not lose his composure as written in the plot summary. He took a deep breath, determined to express his resolution and negotiate with the woman in charge. However, before Song Xu could speak, a familiar, soft voice came from beside him. My brother has exceeded the age limit, but I am only 6 years old. Can I join the Taiji Sect?Not only did Fu Xi Yu look at Song Xu Yi, but Song Xu also stared at her in astonishmentthroughout the journey, Song Xu Yi had never shown any intention like this!In fact, Song Xu Yi had just made a decision.Originally, she had planned to follow the plot summary and enter the Medical Valley. After all, she had learned medical skills, and entering the Medical Valley would provide her with opportunities for recognition. However, upon seeing Fu Xi Yu's current enrollment in the Taiji Sect and realizing that Fu Xi Yu had infiltrated the sect more deeply than Song Xu Yi had imagined, she was afraid that there might be further complications in the future. Therefore, Song Xu Yi spontaneously changed her mind: she decided to join the Taiji Sect to keep an eye on Fu Xi Yu.As for the Medical Valley, it was still located in Nanchun, and she had heard that the Medical Valley also accepted visiting disciples. She believed that she could find an opportunity to join them as well.My brother is determined to seek revenge, and naturally, I also want to avenge our parents! Song Xu Yi forcefully pretended to show a righteous indignation, speaking loudly.Upon hearing Song Xu Yi's words, tears welled up in Song Xu's eyes, originally filled with some confusion. He felt remorse and pain in his heartnever had he thought that his sister also harbored thoughts of revenge! Song Xu deeply regretted not discovering his sister's intentions earlier. He wanted to dissuade Song Xu Yi, but being in a public setting, he had to temporarily suppress his words of persuasion.Fu Xi Yu's gaze also fell upon Song Xu Yi's face. Seeing the little girl's eyes spinning around, her determined expression, Fu Xi Yu's eyes darkened. She sternly bent down and pinched Song Xu Yi's slightly chubby cheeks. Little girl, although you are not too old to join, you will have to go through assessments. Can you withstand it?Fu Xi Yu's fingers were icy cold, and when she touched Song Xu Yi, a shiver involuntarily ran down her spine. As an adult being called little girl by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, Song Xu Yi felt extremely uncomfortable. However, considering that her ability to join the sect was still under the control of this villain before her, Song Xu Yi could only endure it and forced a smile as she looked at Fu Xi Yu. I can withstand it.Song Xu Yi didn't know if it was just her imagination, but for a brief moment, a hint of amusement flashed in Fu Xi Yu's indifferent eyes. Yet, when Song Xu Yi looked again, Fu Xi Yu had returned to her cold demeanor.Fu Xi Yu waved her hand, and two stern-looking elderly women appeared behind her. The two women walked to Song Xu Yi's side, with one skillfully pulling on Song Xu Yi's arms, legs, and neck, while the other directly pressed her hand against Song Xu Yi's chestA domineering aura flowed into Song Xu Yi's body through her chest, wandering through her meridians as if it wanted to burst out from her limbs. Every part of Song Xu Yi's body was in pain, to the point where she felt that she might explode and perish.However, noticing Fu Xi Yu's gaze fixed on her face and remembering her own boastful words, Song Xu Yi bit her lip tightly. Despite her pale complexion, she held on, refusing to cry out in pain.Sister! Don't hold on anymoreIf it were Song Xu suffering torment, he felt he wouldn't be afraid at all. However, seeing his sister's pale face, Song Xu couldn't help but express his distress.But the assessments had already begun and were bound to continue. Song Xu Yi had no time to listen to Song Xu's words. She only felt that her body was like a ball filled with inner strength, aching everywhereIt was uncertain how long had passed, as if it were a moment and yet also like a very long time. The two elderly women finally stopped the assessment, and Song Xu Yi no longer had the strength to stand. As soon as the two women released their hold, Song Xu Yi collapsed weakly to the ground.Song Xu quickly stepped forward and supported Song Xu Yi's falling body.The two elderly women looked at Song Xu Yi with some astonishment. They leaned in and whispered something to Fu Xi Yu, whose eyes flickered as she nodded. Finally, her gaze returned to Song Xu Yi. I didn't expect you, little girl, to have such outstanding aptitude. In that case, our Taiji Sect will accept you as a disciple.First, bid farewell to your family, Fu Xi Yu's gaze swept past Song Xu standing beside them. She took out a token and tossed it into Song Xu Yi's arms, then turned around with the two elderly women. Come to the mountain gate in three days.Song Xu was already too preoccupied with dissuading his sister's thoughts and had no room in his mind to consider joining the Taiji Sect. Moreover, during their descent from the mountain, Song Xu encountered his wandering swordsman master once again. He became even more determined to prevent Song Xu Yi from joining the Taiji Sect. Seeking revenge was his responsibility; his dear and sensible sister only needed his protection and a peaceful upbringingHowever, his meager skills were far from convincing Song Xu Yi. She even managed to persuade him with the reasoning of the dominance of the Demon Sect, imminent chaos in the world, and my pursuit of martial arts for self-defense. In the end, he reluctantly agreed to let Song Xu Yi join the Taiji Sect.Over the next two days, Song Xu Yi stayed in the bamboo house of their wandering swordsman master with Song Xu. They purchased essential daily necessities. On the second evening, Song Xu Yi took off the amulet necklace around her neck and handed it to Song Xu.Brother, this is the birthday gift our mother gave me when I turned 6. I'm afraid of losing it if I bring it into the Taiji Sect, so you must keep it safe and not let it get lost, Song Xu Yi said.Song Xu nodded repeatedly, trusting her completely.Only Song Xu Yi knew that hidden within that amulet necklace was the greatest secret of the Song family.Although the Demon Sect was formidable, when all the heroes of the world gathered together, the Demon Sect was no match for the righteous path. The reason why the righteous path had always tolerated the existence of the Demon Sect was that one of the previous sect masters of the Demon Sect was the most talented mechanical engineer who designed the most impregnable stronghold in the world, perfectly suited to the terrain. The terrain within the Demon Sect was treacherous, filled with intricate mechanical traps. Even the members of the Demon Sect might not know all the traps, and those who were unfamiliar with the terrain would have no chance of returning if they entered.Moreover, the people within the Demon Sect were cunning. Once they sensed any intention from the righteous path to annihilate them, they would retreat into their stronghold and remain hidden for a long time. The righteous path resented this but could do nothing about it.Ten years ago, a group of brave infiltrators managed to enter the Demon Sect undercover. They risked their lives to map out the layout of the Demon Sect, but only three of them managed to escape.
