Transmigrated As The Villain's Sword (GL) - Chapter 18.3
The next day, Guan Luowei was awakened by a weight on her. When she woke up, she felt something furry by her neck.
Turning her head slightly, she saw the girl’s peaceful and serene sleeping face.
Guan Luowei’s gaze followed her brow and began to observe her. Beneath the curved moth-like eyebrows were curled long eyelashes. Thin eyelids covered those clear and bright eyes, making her look exceptionally serene.
Further down was a straight and delicate nose, and slightly parted, rosy lips.
Guan Luowei gently and quietly removed the girl’s hands and feet from her body. She got up and looked at the still early sky outside, then opened her communication talisman and began to discuss with the Old Demon Emperor.
When Ling Chenyan groggily opened her eyes, the sun outside had already risen high. The dazzling sunlight plated the black hair of the woman by the window with a layer of gold, and her almost perfect profile was half-hidden in the sunlight, dreamlike and ethereal, like an immortal descended to the mortal world.
Seeing her wake up, the fairy paused and walked towards her. “Finally awake?”
Ling Chenyan sat up blankly, a stray hair sticking up from the top of her head. She said dazedly, “Are you talking to me?”
As she spoke, she reached out and pinched her arm.
Guan Luowei looked at Ling Chenyan’s somewhat silly appearance and couldn’t help but find it a little funny. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the other person gently hiss and her eyes suddenly lit up. “Fairy, be my wife!”
The smile on Guan Luowei’s lips froze. She silently walked out of the sunlight, walked up to her, narrowed her eyes, and looked at her. “What did you say?”
Ling Chenyan was jolted awake by her own loud shout. She belatedly realized what she had said and quickly said, “Nothing, nothing.”
Her habit of wanting to call beautiful women “wife” as soon as she saw them really couldn’t be changed.
Guan Luowei looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, slowly walked closer, lowered her eyes to look at her, and said, “Twice now.”
She had asked her to be her wife twice now.
Once when she was drunk, and once when she hadn’t fully woken up.
Ling Chenyan naturally knew what she was talking about. Her sleepiness was scared away, and she said sheepishly, “I thought it wasn’t you just now, Master.”
Ling Chenyan tried hard to explain that she had no intention of overstepping her bounds, but when she looked up, she saw Guan Luowei’s lips pursed tightly, and she said coldly, “Is that so?”
Ling Chenyan: “…” She felt like she had said something wrong.
Guan Luowei ignored her and turned to walk to the window again.
Ling Chenyan carefully got up, walked to Guan Luowei’s side, gently tugged at her sleeve, and called her coquettishly, “Master.”
Guan Luowei’s eyes shifted slightly, glancing at her. Although she didn’t speak, her expression softened a lot.
Seeing this, Ling Chenyan wanted to continue to act spoiled, but Guan Luowei turned around indifferently, met her gaze, and said, “Come out with me.”
The weather was clear and the sky was cloudless.
Ling Chenyan followed Guan Luowei all the way to the martial arts arena, weaving through the crowd.
“Hey, did you hear? It’s said that Senior Brother will also go to the sect competition this time!”
“Really? Then we’ll definitely get first place again!”
“Of course, it’s just a pity that Senior Sister Qinghuan can’t go, sigh.”
“Why is that? Isn’t Senior Sister Lin always inseparable from Senior Brother? Why won’t she participate this time?”
“I heard that Senior Sister Qinghuan was injured while on a mission down the mountain some time ago, so she can’t participate in this competition.”
“Is that so…”
Ling Chenyan listened to the conversation between the two and secretly noted it in her heart. Lin Qingwan was injured, and Mu Yunze was going to participate in the sect competition.
Guan Luowei kept walking without stopping.
“Holy crap, did you know? Our sect’s divine artifact, the lyre, has awakened its spirit!”
“What’s going on? How do you know?”
“The Sect Leader just said it. Hurry up and look at your communication device!”
After hearing this, the disciple quickly took out his communication device, followed by another “holy crap.”
Guan Luowei’s heart stirred slightly. Daoist Guizei was single-mindedly focused on the Illusion God Lyre, so he actually told the Lingxiao Immortal Sect about this news? But thinking about it, it made sense. It seemed he really liked the big gift she had left for him.
Ling Chenyan followed behind Guan Luowei, stopping and going, and gathered a lot of information. After leaving the martial arts arena, the two simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no other reason; the smell in the martial arts arena was truly too unpleasant.
Ling Chenyan followed behind Guan Luowei, the sword tassel swinging freely as she walked. She always felt that she had just gotten a new thing, and it wouldn’t feel right if she didn’t show it off. So, she quietly leaned close to Guan Luowei’s ear and said to her, “Master, can I go find my little brother?”
Guan Luowei saw through Ling Chenyan’s thoughts almost instantly and said, “Okay.”
It was just as well; she also wanted to go to Li Xiu’s place to investigate. Originally, she thought that after she gave the credit for killing the monster to his sword, he would come to ask her about the specifics, but he didn’t, which made Guan Luowei suspicious.
The two, one person and one sword, arrived at Li Xiu’s door, but the disciple next to them told them that Li Xiu had accepted an intermediate task yesterday and had gone down the mountain, and was not currently in the sect.
Ling Chenyan’s attempt to show off failed, and she felt a little dispirited.
Just at this moment, a man walked up to Guan Luowei and said in surprise, “Junior Sister Luo? What are you doing here?”
Ling Chenyan looked up and saw Mu Yunze’s face with a hypocritical smile.
Guan Luowei’s expression turned cold almost instantly. “Senior Brother Mu isn’t accompanying Senior Sister Lin. What are you doing here?”
Mu Yunze paused slightly and smiled. “I came to get some medicine for Qingqing.”
“Oh,” Guan Luowei responded indifferently and turned to leave.
The smile on Mu Yunze’s face froze. He quickly stepped forward to stop her, but Guan Luowei’s eyes turned cold, and a sword suddenly appeared in front of her.
Ling Chenyan floated in front of Guan Luowei, quietly looking at Mu Yunze.
Mu Yunze’s expression immediately became a bit unpleasant. He took two steps back and said, “Junior Sister, I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to tell you that if you have any difficulties, you can ask Senior Brother for help.”
Guan Luowei didn’t even bother to give him a cold look this time, turning around and leaving with the silver sword.
Leaving Mu Yunze standing alone in place with an ugly expression.
••••
Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the sect competition.
The sect cultivators all gathered at the Lingxiao Immortal Sect, rubbing their hands in anticipation, waiting to exchange skills through martial arts. Within the Lingxiao Immortal Sect, many disciples had gone to the open-air martial arts arena.
Guan Luowei and Ling Chenyan took advantage of this time to investigate around the sect.
The remaining two peaks belonged to Zhenxu and Daoist Lingxu respectively. The two, one person and one sword, both felt that the Illusion God Lyre was most likely on the Sect Leader’s peak. So, taking advantage of the current lack of people, Guan Luowei and Ling Chenyan openly arrived at Zhenxu’s peak.
Thanks to the chaotic crowd within the Lingxiao Immortal Sect today, Guan Luowei easily entered Zhenxu Peak wearing the Lingxiao Immortal Sect’s disciple uniform.
Guan Luowei’s plan was to take the Illusion God Lyre first. As long as she took the Illusion God Lyre, there would be no one in the Lingxiao Immortal Sect she couldn’t match. At that time, she could kill Mu Yunze whenever she wanted.
However, Zhenxu Peak was vast, and if the two searched without any clues, they didn’t know how long it would take to find it.
Ling Chenyan said, “Why don’t we search separately? In two hours, whether we find it or not, we’ll meet at the bottom of the peak.”
Guan Luowei’s eyes flickered slightly, looking at the silver sword in front of her with some unease.
Ling Chenyan transformed into her human form and stood in front of Guan Luowei, blinking her eyes. “Don’t worry, Master, I still have a little self-preservation ability.”
Guan Luowei shifted her gaze slightly and nodded. “Then be careful.”
Having said that, she placed several restrictions on her. If she was attacked, she could know her location immediately. After placing the restrictions, she gave her some life-saving magical artifacts and said, “An hour and a half. If you can’t find it, come back.”
Ling Chenyan blinked her eyes. She wondered if it was her imagination, but she always felt that Guan Luowei’s ears were a little red.
She watched the other person’s receding figure and quickened her pace in the opposite direction.
There would be some faint connection and sensing between spirit artifacts. Ling Chenyan ran south for a long time and finally felt a somewhat familiar aura. She quickly sped up and finally saw a familiar sword in a rocky forest.
Ling Chenyan was a little horrified and quickly stepped forward to check, only to see that this sword was indeed Li Xiu’s, and the extremely weak sense came from her little brother, who was almost out of breath.
“Gu Yue, Gu Yue, how did you become like this?” Ling Chenyan asked him anxiously, while quickly taking out the rain dew that nourished the soul from her personal space, preparing to nourish his remnant soul.
Gu Yue’s voice was intermittent, as if he would lose his breath at any moment. “You… you hurry, hurry up and run… they… they know your master and… and your identities… I’m… I’m sorry…”
Ling Chenyan’s pupils shrank slightly. She took a deep breath, still picked him up, nourished him with the rain dew, and then put him into a spirit artifact, saying, “Don’t talk for now. I’ll take you to find my master.”
Ling Chenyan’s brain spun rapidly. The only way they could know Guan Luowei’s identity was if Gu Yue revealed it. But Gu Yue had sworn by the Heavenly Dao that he would never actively reveal it, yet he had still become like this.
In other words, he had ultimately spoken and suffered the backlash. Spirit artifacts had their own way of communicating. If others wanted to know a spirit artifact’s thoughts, they could only do so through their master. So, Senior Brother Li Xiu was now very likely already dead.
Yes, she should have noticed it earlier. Li Xiu’s injuries had just healed, so how could he accept a mission now? Even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t accept it before the sect competition.
It had been seven days since Li Xiu disappeared. So, that meant they had known Guan Luowei’s true identity seven days ago, but they hadn’t exposed her and had been waiting until today.
Today, that’s right, today was the sect competition. Powerful cultivators from all over the world had gathered here. They wanted to use the hands of the world’s cultivators to deal with Guan Luowei!
The more Ling Chenyan thought about it, the more frightened she became. And Jin Jin, if that was the case, then Jin Jin’s current situation must not be good either. Even if they couldn’t subdue him, they would try all sorts of methods, and Jin Jin had just extracted his origin power for her, so he was in a weakened state.
Damn it.
Ling Chenyan gritted her teeth hatefully, wishing she could return to Guan Luowei’s side immediately.
The speed under her feet increased again and again. Just as she was about to fly out of the bamboo forest, she suddenly felt a powerful aura, filled with malice, rushing towards her.
Ling Chenyan suddenly turned her head, preparing to transform into her sword form to block the attack. But in the instant she turned, she saw a person shrouded in black robes slowly raise their head and look at her.
Beneath the black robes were a pair of bl00d-red eyes.
Cold, evil, sticky, like being stared at by a cold, sticky poisonous snake.
Uncontrollably, double images appeared in Ling Chenyan’s eyes.
In the last moment before she passed out, she remembered the monster in Fengxiang Town. Its eyes were also like this.
