Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

The sacred land of Yaochi is located on Mount Yujing in the western part of the Central Region.

It is named after the fact that it was built between ancient fairy pools.

Looking into the distance, the celestial mist of Yaochi rises and transforms into wisps of smoke, swirling among the jade palaces and towers.

Like a fairyland on earth.

When Luo Tian and his group entered the Yaochi Holy Land, it was already packed with distinguished guests.

The guests from the three sects and four holy sites need not be mentioned.

There are also countless renowned sects from various ancient regions, as well as powerful rogue cultivators whose fame has spread throughout the world.

It can be described as a gathering of stars, with the forces of the entire ancient continent converging here.

"Please follow me, everyone from the Xuantian Sect."

The Yaochi Holy Land had already sent disciples to wait. Upon seeing Luo Tian and the others, they immediately stepped forward to pay their respects and escorted them to the banquet hall.

Throughout the entire process, the Palace Master of Tianji Palace acted as the representative of Xuantian Sect, exchanging pleasantries and engaging in discussions with other sects.

This saved Luo Tian a lot of trouble, as he didn't need to personally intervene.

"You young people should enjoy the banquet. Leave everything else to me, the Palace Master."

The Palace Master of Tianji Palace gave Luo Tian and the other two some instructions, and then left with the disciples of Yaochi.

The Peach Banquet is a rare gathering of various forces, so it's impossible for it to be just a simple feast.

The banquet is merely its outward form.

Inside, it was the place where various forces discussed important matters.

This is also why the trip was led by the Palace Master of Tianji Palace, rather than being directly handed over to Luo Tian.

"Senior Brother, what do we do next?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang tugged at La Luotian's sleeve.

"There's still some time before the banquet ends. If you're feeling bored, Junior Sister, you can go outside for a stroll and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Jade Pool Holy Land."

After Luo Tian finished speaking, he looked at the Holy Maiden Tianxuan on the other side.

"Junior Sister Tianxuan prefers peace and quiet, why don't you come out for a walk with us?"

"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother."

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan nodded, then got up and left alone.

"Senior Sister Tianxuan is so cold."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang pouted, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.

She quickly put her worries aside and excitedly pulled Luo Tian outside.

"Never mind her, senior brother, let's go together!"

"Okay, okay."

Luo Tian had nothing to do at the moment, so he let the other party drag him along.

You can also look for the figure of Ye Chen, the male protagonist of Destiny, along the way.

……

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan walked alone on the connecting corridor of Yaochi.

Despite exuding a cold aura that kept strangers at bay, her stunning beauty and aloof demeanor still attracted the attention of countless guests.

Many talented young men were deeply attracted and wanted to ask the fairy's name.

Tianxuan Saintess was already used to being the center of attention.

If anyone tries to bother her, she simply nods slightly and then turns and leaves.

Unbeknownst to her, the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan had arrived at a quiet corner.

She stood by the railing, gazing at the ethereal Jade Pool, her thoughts drifting further and further away.

Why come to the Peach Banquet?

The Holy Maiden of Tianxuan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Given her personality, she shouldn't have come at all.

However, for some reason, I inexplicably followed my senior brother here.

Tianxuan Saintess recalled what Luo Tian had said.

I used to think that the idea of ​​going into a state of demonic possession was nonsense, but now it seems that it might not be so.

Ever since returning from the Divine Ruins Secret Realm, I've felt a strange unease.

It's not a demon in my heart.

But I can't understand it.

"well……"

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan let out a soft sigh.

It turns out that not only she herself has changed, but even Senior Brother Luo Tian seems to have changed.

Her former senior brother, Luo Tian, ​​used to fawn over her all day long, wanting nothing more than to stay by her side, which annoyed her greatly.

Although Senior Brother Luo Tian still cares for her and loves her dearly, he no longer pesters her excessively. As soon as she shows the slightest resistance, he will leave on his own.

Since breaking through to the Void Refining Realm, Senior Brother Luo Tian has taken over the sect's affairs, and his mind has gradually turned to the sect.

He shares the sect leader's responsibilities, takes care of his junior brothers and sisters, and always prioritizes the overall situation...

Such is the experience of training in the Divine Ruins Secret Realm.

Saintess Tianxuan also heard from her fellow disciples that because of her indifference, Senior Brother Luotian became disheartened and devoted himself to sect affairs.

This should have been a good thing.

but……

"That's the feeling."

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan placed her jade hand on her heart.

This subtle, unsettling feeling.

She doesn't like it.

The Holy Woman of Tianxuan is aloof and indifferent, but by no means heartless.

She had always remembered the care and concern that her senior brother Luo Tian had shown her since childhood, but she had never expressed it.

She absolutely did not want Senior Brother Luo Tian to be influenced by her, to give up on himself and do things against his conscience, to have his Dao heart clouded and his cultivation unable to make any progress.

Yes, Senior Brother Luo Tian just needs to continue being the same senior brother he always was; he doesn't need to change because of her.

"I see."

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan murmured to herself.

She finally understood where the strange feeling in her heart came from.

It's guilt.

Just as Senior Brother Luo Tian cared about her.

She also cared about Senior Brother Luo Tian.

Therefore, when she realized that her senior brother Luo Tian was feeling down because of her, she felt guilty.

She didn't want to see Senior Brother Luo Tian force himself to deal with Junior Sister Yao Guang's entanglements.

I also don't want to see Senior Brother Luo Tian forced to become a Daoist couple with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi for the sake of the sect.

That's why she came to this banquet.

Tianxuan Saintess gradually came to understand everything.

She loosely clenched her fist over her heart.

Perhaps she should take the initiative and help Senior Brother Luo Tian get rid of the troubles of mundane matters.

……

[Ding! A turning point in your destiny has been detected; the gears of fate have begun to turn.]

"Um?"

Luo Tian looked at the system notification that suddenly popped up, somewhat puzzled.

He was just wandering around with Junior Sister Yaoguang, how did he suddenly discover the turning point in his life?

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang looked over curiously.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering where Junior Sister Tianxuan is and how she's feeling."

Luo Tian made up stories on the spot, while also maintaining his sycophantic persona.

"It's Senior Sister Tianxuan again..."

However, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

She couldn't help but pout.

"Senior brother is clearly with someone else, but his heart is still with Senior Sister Tianxuan. What's so great about Senior Sister Tianxuan?"

"Hehe... Junior sister, you're still young. You'll understand when you meet someone you like in the future."

"I'm not young anymore, and I like my senior brother!"

"The Holy Maiden Yaoguang puffed out her cheeks and retorted."

"I like my junior sister too."

Luo Tian smiled nonchalantly.

He continued to look at the system.

Unbeknownst to you, a crisis of life and death, success or failure, is quietly brewing.

The task has been changed.

[Objective: To be invited to the Peach Banquet, maintain good interpersonal relationships, and remain completely untainted.]

[Reward: Improved evaluation for serving as a guardian of the Xuan Tian Sect by a divine child.]

[Punishment: As the ultimate simp for the Heavenly Maiden, his highest possible rating is C.]

[I want chocolate. —The Phantom Thief of Hearts]

What the heck?

Luo Tian realized he couldn't understand the system tasks.

The original goal was simply to get him to attend the Peach Banquet, but the update added the requirement of maintaining interpersonal relationships.

It means he should cultivate good relationships with people from other factions and boost his reputation at the Peach Banquet.

Judging from the punishment, it seems to be related to the Holy Maiden Tianxuan.

Luo Tian seemed to be deep in thought.

Wool comes from sheep.

Perhaps because the Peach Banquet was held ahead of schedule, the system hoped to get the plot back on track.

The highlight of the Peach Banquet was undoubtedly the subsequent debates and discussions among the younger generation.

The protagonist, Ye Chen, shines brightly in this battle.

The villainous sycophant Luo Tian was once again framed.

We can only take it one step at a time...
