I cultivate immortality through The Sims.

After retrieving the notebook, should I just exchange it with the Holy Maiden for a fake token and escape?

Yang Mu has been thinking about this problem for the past two days.

Consider the feasibility of this problem.

In the simulation, he destroyed half of the notebook, so much so that the saintess dared not risk killing him in exchange for a replica token.

But now it's reality; if I were to actually take out the entire notebook, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Having thought all this through, Yang Mu decided to play it safe and stick to the script.

Soon, news spread throughout the sect that the sect leader had summoned all the inner disciples to discuss an important matter.

This is a signal the saintess is giving herself.

Yang Mu naturally knew that Tan Yanrao would go to find Guo Yufei.

That was a golden opportunity for him.

When the simulation time was almost up, Yang Mu took the Concealing Breath Pill given to him by the Holy Maiden and went out.

When Yang Mu reached the vicinity of the sect leader's cave, the timing was just right.

Tan Yanrao happened to arrive outside the sect leader's cave.

Just like in the simulation, Guo Yufei completely exposed his true nature at this moment.

He began to grope Tan Yanrao in front of the sect leader's cave.

Yang Mu saw it all and felt resentment in his heart.

It was as if he were watching his wife being sexually assaulted by someone else.

Although he knew that Tan Yanrao might not have even heard of Yang Mu at this moment.

Yang Mu suppressed the urge to unleash the Ink Jade Sword Talisman, watching as Guo Yufei picked up Tan Yanrao and carried her into the cave.

At this moment, Yang Mu did not rush to follow, but instead stayed where he was to adjust his mindset and calm his mind.

Yang Mu was puzzled, since it was clearly just a simulation.

I, on the other hand, am watching the simulation from God's perspective.

Why do I feel like I consider Tan Yanrao one of my own when I see her?

Could it be that after experiencing a simulation, the experience itself might unconsciously affect one's personality?

In just a moment, Yang Mu confirmed his guess.

Yes!

After the simulation, although Yang Mu could no longer remember the contents of the notebook, he still remembered the simulation process quite clearly.

The time the Holy Maiden caught herself in the act in the alchemy room.

Knowing the outcome, one's performance will certainly not be the same as when the outcome is unknown.

Even if it's performed, it can never be replicated.

This is different from the simulation.

The fact that the Holy Maiden's words and actions in the cave were different from those during the simulation proves that even if it was a simulation, she could never follow the simulated script exactly as it was.

Thinking of this, Yang Mu couldn't help but remind himself: I must not be careless, and I must not be blindly confident just because I have the script.

After adjusting his mindset, Yang Mu slowly approached the sect leader's cave.

Not long after Yang Mu entered the sect master's cave, he heard Guo Yufei's voice: "From now on, I am the sect master of Qianyun Sect, and you are my disciple."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mu was immediately startled: Damn it, I missed it! We've gone off-script again!

However, Yang Mu remained calm despite the shock, slowly moving towards the direction from which Guo Yufei's voice came, his hand tightly gripping the black jade sword talisman.

"Master, this disciple is in so much pain! Please, Master, help this disciple!" Tan Yanrao's voice rang out.

"Hahaha!" Guo Yufei laughed heartily.

"Crawl over here, and I'll help you!"

Just then, Yang Mu saw Tan Yanrao, her clothes disheveled, crawling towards Guo Yufei like a dog in a side room of the cave.

Yang Mu immediately summoned the Ink Jade Sword Talisman, intending to kill Guo Yufei on the spot.

Just then, Guo Yufei slightly hunched over, pinched Tan Yanrao's chin, and said, "From now on, you are the Holy Maiden, and I am your master, the Sect Master of Qianyun Sect."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mu was stunned.

Is Guo Yufei still obsessed with the Holy Maiden Thief?

Come to think of it, the Holy Maiden is not only the strongest in the inner sect, the most beautiful in the sect, but also the most gifted in the sect.

Any man, more or less, would have harbored lustful thoughts towards the saintess.

"Yes, Master, I am the Holy Maiden!" Tan Yanrao immediately confirmed her identity.

"Master, I feel so unwell..."

Seeing this scene, Yang Mu couldn't help himself and immediately summoned the Ink Jade Sword Talisman.

"A real sword!" Guo Yufei's face suddenly turned ferocious. "You're usually so aloof, but now you look so unsatisfied?"

"I have leverage over you. No matter how aloof you are, you still have to be at my mercy, right?"

Yang Mu was stunned: Guo Yufei had something on the Holy Maiden?

What leverage does the saintess have that Guo Yufei could use against her?

Could it be that Guo Yufei found out about the Holy Maiden's plot to seize the Nascent Soul Realm?

Or perhaps Guo Yufei found out about the Holy Maiden establishing her own "faction" within the sect?

Regardless of which one it is, the Thousand Clouds Sect Master will not let the Holy Maiden off easily.

One is an opportunity that concerns the sect leader, and the other is an opportunity that concerns the sect leader's foundation.

"Master, whatever you do for your disciple, I'll do it, I'll do it." Tan Yanrao said painfully, "Master, please, please help me."

"Hmph!" Guo Yufei sneered, "Colluding with outside sects—such a huge matter—how am I supposed to help you?"

Yang Mu was immediately shocked: What? The Holy Maiden actually colluded with an outside sect!

Just then, Guo Yufei suddenly shouted softly, "Who?"

Yang Mu was shocked again and subconsciously poured his spiritual power into the black jade sword talisman.

Before Guo Yufei could finish speaking, the black jade sword talisman shot straight towards Guo Yufei's brow like a black lightning bolt.

In an instant, the black jade sword talisman pierced through Guo Yufei's brow.

Only then did Yang Mu breathe a sigh of relief.

so close!

"Master, this disciple is having such a hard time..." Before Tan Yanrao could finish her dazed words, Yang Mu had already reached her side and knocked her unconscious.

It's so damn hard for me!

It's a bit different from the script, I need to hurry.

Yang Mu immediately felt nervous.

Once you gain an advantage from the script, even if you reach the tenth level of Qi cultivation, you will still face constant danger within the Thousand Clouds Sect.

Yang Mu easily found the notebook in the lining of a book.

Without further hesitation, Yang Mu immediately picked up the unconscious Tan Yaorao and prepared to leave.

But Yang Mu could clearly see Tan Yanrao's clothes scattered on the ground.

Suddenly, Yang Mu thought of something terrifying:

In the simulation, such important details could definitely be simulated if I did it myself.

However, I did not do that in the last simulation.

When the Golden Core Sect Master returns to his cave, he will surely discover these things.

With these things, it won't be difficult for the sect leader to find Tan Yanrao.

However, in the simulation, the sect leader did not appear to make any movement.

This can only mean one thing: after I left, someone came to this cave and took care of the cleanup work for me.

who can that be?

The inner disciples are all in a meeting.

The Holy Maiden would not risk such a great deal to come to the sect leader's cave at this time.

As he pondered this, Yang Mu walked out of the cave.

Just as Yang Mu stepped out of the side room, another piece of information came to mind:

This Guo Yufei has a counterfeit token.

Should I just take this fake token now?

No, no!

Yang Mu immediately rejected the idea: it was fundamentally different from simulation.

Imitation order?

However, there are only three counterfeit coins: one for the Holy Maiden, one for Chen Haiquan, and one for Guo Yufei...

Suddenly, Yang Mu was terrified!
