Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Lin Yaoxie's mind went blank for a moment: "No way, to be the ruler of this place, how many masters would I have to kill? Do you think this is a TV drama where everyone has a protagonist's halo?"

Even setting aside the fact that there's Mo Yuan in "Three Lives Three Worlds," Qing Cang alone could defeat him in one move. Besides, everyone here is a deity; wouldn't a mortal like himself be just throwing his life away here?

"Host, don't worry. After defeating the Beast God, you also ascended to the rank of Immortal God. As long as you practice your immortal techniques more, you can complete this task." Lin Yaoxie was even more surprised now. "Immortal God? Then can I still return to my original world?"

"As long as you complete the mission, you can go back. Moreover, the identity of a deity is only valid in this world. Once you leave this world, the host will become an ordinary person."

Lin Yaoxie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this news. "Then what race do I belong to? As far as I know, there are a total of nine-tailed fox clan, phoenix clan, dragon clan and winged clan here."

"The host's identity in 'Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms' is that of a Celestial Clan or a Dragon Clan. Does the host have any further questions? The system has consumed a large amount of power during the transfer and needs to temporarily hibernate."

Lin Yaoxie rolled his eyes. He was about to fall asleep again, leaving me here to sleep comfortably while he had to work himself to the bone on his missions. Helpless, Lin Yaoxie said, "That's all." With a ding, the system shut down, leaving Lin Yaoxie alone in the desolate wilderness.

With verdant mountains, clear lakes, blooming peach blossoms, and chirping birds among the green grass, Lin Yaoxie surveyed the scene. The beautiful scenery lifted his spirits considerably, and he exclaimed, "Qingqiu is indeed as beautiful as the legends say; it truly is a paradise on earth."

Lin Yaoxie strolled through Qingqiu, hoping to catch a glimpse of Bai Qian, the most beautiful woman in all the realms. Recalling the familiar scenes from the TV series, Lin Yaoxie got up and headed towards the Nine-Tailed Fox Cave. Reaching a lakeside path, he spotted two figures approaching from afar.

Lin Yaoxie narrowed his eyes and stared intently, confirming it was a man and a woman. Lin Yaoxie guessed, could it be that Zheyan brought Bai Qian to Kunlun Mountain to become a disciple? Lin Yaoxie never expected that he would meet Bai Qian before Mo Yuan. Lin Yaoxie turned and walked towards the lake by the roadside, forcefully slapping the surface of the water, deliberately swallowing a few mouthfuls of water, and shouting, "Help! Help!"

Zheyan and Bai Qian reached the lakeside and heard cries for help from the water. Zheyan gently waved his hand, and Lin Yaoxie automatically flew out of the lake and lay flat on the path. Bai Qian went forward to check on the person who had fallen into the water.

Afraid of loss, he asked urgently, "Is he alright?"

Lin Yaoxie pretended to faint, hoping Bai Qian would give him CPR. Zheyan glanced at the person on the ground and said casually, "It's alright, you won't die." Then Lin Yaoxie felt someone tapping his chest, and his abdomen throbbed. He got up and started vomiting.

"Just spit out the water and you'll be fine." Seeing that Lin Yaoxie was alright, Zheyan turned to Bai Qian and said, "Let's go, Qianqian, it's getting late, we need to hurry to Kunlun Mountain."

Bai Qian glanced at Lin Yaoxie, stood up and turned to leave, but Lin Yaoxie quickly grabbed Bai Qian's right hand and said sincerely, "Thank you for saving my life, Immortal." Bai Qian opened her hand that Lin Yaoxie was holding and said, "He saved you, there's no need to thank me."

After saying that, he turned to leave again, but Lin Yaoxie grabbed Bai Qian again: "Immortal saved me, so I shouldn't make any requests, but I just heard that you are going to Kunlun Mountain, so I dare to ask you to take me with you."

Zheyan looked at me with a puzzled expression and said, "You're going to Kunlun Mountain too? Kunlun Mountain doesn't just recruit disciples casually. Seeing that you just fell into the water, I guess you must have been very weak since you were a child! Immortals don't just fall into the water casually."

Lin Yaoxie was puzzled. Immortals wouldn't easily fall into water. That made sense; every immortal possessed magical powers and wouldn't be subdued by a small lake. Lin Yaoxie sighed, realizing he had only just arrived.

He could barely be considered a deity, but he possessed no magical abilities whatsoever, only the various divine skills he had accumulated over the years. Martial arts and magical abilities were not comparable. To become the ruler of the world, he had to cultivate magical abilities. Perhaps, by cultivating to a certain level and combining them with the divine skills he had accumulated, he might be able to complete the mission.

Lin Yaoxie feigned weakness and pitifulness, coughing incessantly, and said, "The High God is right. I have been weak since childhood, so I have not been able to learn any immortal techniques. I want to go to Kunlun Mountain to train more and strengthen my physique so that I will no longer make my mother sad. Recently, she has turned a few more hairs white because of my illness."

After saying that, Lin Yaoxie coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough up his entire lungs. Zheyan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Bai Qian for her opinion: "What do you think?" Bai Qian turned her head away and said indifferently: "You got yourself into this mess, so you can decide for yourself. Anyway, I have no right to persuade Mo Yuan to accept him as a disciple."

And so, Lin Yaoxie followed Zheyan and Bai Qian to Kunlun Mountain. Inside Kunlun Mountain, Mo Yuan sat upright, looking down at the three of us, including Zi Lan.

Mo Yuan's voice came from above: "Kunlun Mountain does not casually recruit disciples; those who are physically weak will not be admitted."

Zheyan sat to Mo Yuan's left, leisurely sipped his tea, then placed it on the wooden table and said, "This is someone I rescued by chance on my way to Kunlun Mountain. I felt sorry for him, so I brought him here to learn from you. This is also to find him a place to stay. You won't refuse, will you?"

Mo Yuan pondered for a moment, then stared at Lin Yaoxie below and said, "Since it's your face, of course I'll give it to you. Let him stay here with the other two!"

Lin Yaoxie quickly kowtowed and knelt down: "Thank you, High God, no, Master. Thank you, High God Zheyan."

"But, since the three of you are all becoming disciples at the same time, how should you be ranked?" Mo Yuan asked doubtfully.

Zheyan chuckled and said, "What's so difficult about that? Since Lin Yaoxie is physically weak, let him be the youngest, Siyin will be seventeenth, and Zilan will be sixteenth."

Mo Yuan nodded in agreement and looked at Lin Yaoxie: "Are you satisfied?"

Lin Yaoxie never expected to become Bai Qian's junior brother, especially since he was the youngest among them. He was displeased, but could only smile and reply, "Master doesn't mind letting me join the sect, and I am very grateful. How could I care about such superficial things?"

Mo Yuan was very satisfied with Lin Yaoxie's answer. Although he was physically weak, he had a humble heart and would not cause any trouble in the future. After cultivating in Kunlun Mountain for a few months, his body would gradually improve. Mo Yuan put aside his previous prejudice against Lin Yaoxie and began to silently appreciate this disciple.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Yaoxie has been in Kunlun Mountain for three months. Through his diligent cultivation in Kunlun Mountain, he has been able to keep up with the other disciples. Mo Yuan's attitude towards him has completely changed, and he has gradually gained the recognition of the other disciples.

There was one thing that particularly annoyed him: Bai Qian had always been lukewarm towards him. When he learned a new sword technique and wanted to share his joy with her, Bai Qian listened, nodded, and praised, "That's good, keep up the good work."

Faced with Bai Qian's coldness, Lin Yaoxie tried his best to please her, but to little avail. Lin Yaoxie wondered to himself, why are women in other worlds not so difficult to please? Is this the difference between gods and mortals?

Therefore, he decided that he would slowly win over Bai Qian and not rush things. He believed that with his handsome looks and perseverance, Bai Qian would be moved by him and eventually give herself to him.

Just as Lin Yaoxie was immersed in his own little joy, someone entered Kunlun Mountain and asked him, "Excuse me, Immortal, is Immortal Siyin here?"

Displeased that the voice behind him had disturbed his sweet dream, Lin Yaoxie looked around to see who it was. Xuan Nu stood in front of him, her eyes wide open, waiting for Lin Yaoxie's answer. Lin Yaoxie immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Immortal Si Yin is inside. I'll take you in."

Xuan Nu nodded and followed Lin Yaoxie into Kunlun Xu. Lin Yaoxie was flustered. Fortunately, he had reacted quickly, otherwise he would have definitely left a bad impression on Xuan Nu. The rule of friendship for men is to always maintain gentlemanly manners in order to attract attention and win the hearts of many women.

"Senior Brother Siyin, someone is looking for you." Lin Yaoxie led Xuan Nu to Siyin.

Upon seeing the goddess Xuan's tense expression, Si Yin glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then pulled Lin Yaoxie aside and whispered, "Why did you bring her here? You could have had her wait for me in the backyard. What if someone discovers I'm a woman?"

Lin Yaoxie then realized that no one here knew Si Yin's identity as her daughter. His carelessness had caused Bai Qian's favorability towards him to drop a little. Lin Yaoxie subconsciously tried to make amends: "Xuan Nu doesn't know that you are Bai Qian either. Don't expose your secret."

Si Yin then realized, "That's right! My appearance is quite different from before. I don't think Xuan Nu will easily notice. Zhe Yan's disguise technique is not something that just anyone can break." Si Yin released Lin Yaoxie and turned to walk towards Xuan Nu.

Chapter Two: Secret Manual

Xuan Nu bowed to Si Yin and handed her an envelope. Si Yin glanced at her, took the envelope, opened it, and read it. After a moment, Si Yin exclaimed, "Fourth Brother has entrusted you to me like this?"

Xuan Nu knelt down abruptly, pleading, "Immortal Si Yin, please have pity on me! I really don't want to marry the Black Bear Spirit, please help me!"

Seeing this, Lin Yaoxie quickly stepped forward to help Xuan Nu up and comforted her, "Don't worry, Si Yin won't stand by and watch you die; he will help you."

Si Yin was furious upon hearing Lin Yaoxie's words: "Lin Yaoxie, don't make decisions for me on your own. If you want to take someone in, take them in yourself."

Seeing that Si Yin was already angry, Lin Yaoxie thought to himself that things were not good, but he was too embarrassed to refuse Xuan Nu. He pulled Si Yin aside and whispered, "This is your fourth brother's idea. Are you going to disobey your fourth brother? Besides, Xuan Nu is not here to stay for a long time. She will only stay for a while. Once her parents forget about this, she will go back. She has come all this way. If you refuse her like this, you will chill Xuan Nu's heart and also chill your fourth brother's heart."

Si Yin listened to Lin Yaoxie's long-winded explanation and fell into deep thought. She then approached Xuan Nu and said, "I was too emotional just now. After all, it's unfair to have a woman like you throw yourself into the arms of a grown man like me..."

"It's a bit hard to explain. Since you were sent by Fourth Brother, just relax and stay here. My senior brother is a very nice person and won't make things difficult for you."

Xuan Nu knelt down in response, tears of gratitude streaming down her face: "Thank you, Immortal Si Yin and... that immortal."

Lin Yaoxie breathed a sigh of relief. He clearly remembered that Si Yin took in Xuan Nu without much consideration in the TV series. How come he almost messed it up when he got involved? Did he make things worse?

Lin Yaoxie looked at Xuan Nu and smiled kindly at him. He thought to himself that Xuan Nu had a close relationship with the Winged Clan. He might be able to infiltrate the Winged Clan through Xuan Nu and thus eliminate Qing Cang. Qing Cang was a covetous figure who was the ruler of the world. He had to defeat this troublesome obstacle in order to complete his mission.

Lin Yaoxie led Xuan Nu to the backyard to rest. In front of a house, Lin Yaoxie turned around and smiled, "You'll be staying here from now on. If you need anything, just tell me. You've been traveling all day, so get some rest first!"

The Mystic Maiden gave a slight curtsy and said, "Thank you for your care, Immortal. May I ask your name?"

Lin Yaoxie scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "I dare not accept such a grand name. I am just a junior disciple of Kunlun Mountain. I haven't even ascended to immortality yet. You don't need to call me Immortal. Just call me Lin Yaoxie!"

The Mystic Maiden curtsied again: "No matter what, I will still respectfully address you as an Immortal. You have been kind to me, and I cannot overstep my bounds."

A hint of disdain flashed across Lin Yaoxie's eyes. She was so gentle and considerate now; it was hard to imagine the ruthless cruelty she would display later. Women were indeed fickle creatures. Lin Yaoxie had no time to argue with her and replied, "Call me whatever you want. Go inside and rest now! I have things to do, so I'm leaving."

Lin Yaoxie returned to his residence to plot. Bai Qian would soon be returning to Qingqiu to visit her newborn niece, and he had to go with her, only to be imprisoned in the Great Purple Palace together. How could he go with her? Given Bai Qian's current attitude towards him, he certainly couldn't drag her back to Qingqiu. Inside, the candlelight flickered, and Lin Yaoxie pondered alone by the lamp.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed in your thoughts." Mo Yuan walked into the room and asked Lin Yaoxie, who was deep in thought, with a questioning tone.

Lin Yaoxie was interrupted by the voice and stood up to bow: "Master, Master, you have come here so late at night. Is there anything you need me to do?"

Mo Yuan waved his hand, denying it, "It's nothing serious, I just wanted to see how well you've been cultivating lately."

Lin Yaoxie replied, "I am not good at being born with the right conditions, so I can only make up for it with hard work. I also do not have the talent of the other senior brothers, so I learn slower than them. However, I am not afraid of hardship. Through my hard work, I have managed to keep up with the other senior brothers. I am a disciple of Kunlun Xu, and I will definitely not let Kunlun Xu down."

Mo Yuan nodded appreciatively. Teachers generally like diligent and eager-to-learn students. After Lin Yaoxie's remarks, Mo Yuan felt even closer to him. He conjured an ancient book from his hand and handed it to Lin Yaoxie, saying, "This is a unique divine sword manual of Kunlun Void, called the Azure Frost Cloud Snow Sword. Ordinary disciples are not allowed to steal it. Take it and practice it well. It will help you quickly improve your cultivation. Remember, don't tell the other senior brothers."

0oooo Requesting flowers.

Lin Yaoxie knelt down on both knees: "Master, you must not! This disciple cannot steal the Kunlun Void Divine Sword Manual."

Mo Yuan immediately helped Lin Yaoxie up and said sternly, "What do you mean by stealing knowledge? This is what I taught you, and what I ordered you to learn. This is not stealing knowledge, this is an order. Now I order you to study this manual carefully."

A sly glint flashed in Lin Yaoxie's eyes as he said, "Disciple obeys." Mo Yuan looked at Lin Yaoxie with delight and nodded in satisfaction.

The next morning, Lin Yaoxie tried his best to please Bai Qian. He had no choice but to endure Bai Qian's coldness and indifference in order to gain her favor and trust.

0 0 ..

Lin Yaoxie approached Si Yin, who was practicing her swordplay in the morning, and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Si Yin remained silent, ignoring Lin Yaoxie as if he were invisible. Lin Yaoxie asked again, "I heard that the Fox Emperor of Qingqiu, Bai Zhi, has just had a granddaughter named Bai Fengjiu. She is the first little princess of Qingqiu, and the whole of Qingqiu is happy for her!"

Si Yin stopped wielding her sword and looked at Lin Yaoxie: "How did you know?" Seeing Bai Qian's reaction, Lin Yaoxie was certain of his guess; Bai Qian still didn't know about Bai Fengjiu's birth.

Lin Yaoxie laughed and said, "I heard it from other people's discussions. Now the whole world knows about it. After all, this is a happy event for Qingqiu, and there are quite a few gods from all over the world who have come to offer their congratulations."

After hearing this, Bai Qian fell into deep thought. Lin Yaoxie suggested, "Why don't we go take a look too?"

Bai Qian stared wide-eyed at Lin Yaoxie, her heart conflicted. Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "Although I can't make you take me to Qingqiu, I can take you with me!" As Bai Fengjiu's aunt, he must really want to see his little niece in person.

Lin Yaoxie continued to urge, saying, "This is a major event in Qingqiu, a once-in-a-millennium event. We can set off now, take a look, and come back. It will only take half a day, and Master won't find out."

Bai Qian remained silent, while Lin Yaoxie waited quietly for her answer.

"Okay, let's go take a look together." Bai Qian finally made her decision and said firmly.

Chapter Three: Arrest

"Let's go!" Lin Yaoxie reached out and put his arm around Bai Qian's shoulder, acting very intimately.

"What are you doing!" Bai Qian glanced at him disdainfully, then gripped Lin Yaoxie's wrist tightly with her right hand. Her entire body was turned around by her right hand, and Lin Yaoxie was immediately pinned to the ground, unable to move.

Bai Qian clapped her hands, then left satisfied.

Although Lin Yaoxie had previous martial arts skills, they were nothing more than child's play to Bai Qian, who was already an immortal.

"I'll make you look at me with new eyes in the future!" The person in front of him had long since disappeared. Lin Yaoxie's remaining words were unclear. Was he really saying them to Bai Qian, or was he giving himself confidence for his future great cause?

Lin Yaoxie stared blankly in the direction Bai Qian had left, lost in thought. He was determined to win the heart of the most beautiful woman in the Four Seas and Eight Deserts before Mo Yuan could.

"Wait for me!"

The vegetation was lush and secluded, and the sunlight shone on Lin Yaoxie's face, revealing a hint of melancholy.

"Damn Ling Yu, what was supposed to be a nice time for two has now turned into a three-person affair!" Lin Yaoxie muttered to himself, the immortal herb he had picked already being pinched beyond recognition.

"Eighteenth Junior Brother! Why haven't you said anything!" Ling Yu pulled Lin Yaoxie over and casually patted his shoulder.

"I was just pondering the sword techniques my master taught me, and I got completely lost in thought!" Lin Yaoxie's lips curled up in a fawning smile as he pulled Ling Yu aside and whispered, "Last time you spilled a pot of peach blossom wine that God Zheyan gave to Si Yin. Si Yin loves drinking, especially peach blossom wine. Don't be fooled by his seemingly indifferent demeanor; he's actually resentful of you!"

"So, does Eighteenth Junior Brother have any way to make Si Yin stop holding a grudge?"

Lin Yaoxie smiled with narrowed eyes and took out a jar of old wine from his pocket: "Give this jar of wine to Siyin. Although it is not as fragrant as Peach Blossom Wine, it can still be seven or eight parts good. The aroma is strong. Be sure to open it together to prevent the wine from escaping."

Ling Yu took the wine: "Don't worry, I definitely won't lie about you stealing my master's wine!"

Watching Ling Yu leave triumphantly, Lin Yaoxie smiled bitterly.

"This isn't stolen wine. It's clearly a gift pack from the system a long time ago that I haven't used yet. If it weren't for making you suffer a bit today, it would probably have been sitting there for a while longer." Lin Yaoxie muttered a few words, and then heard the sound of the earthenware jar breaking. He saw Ling Yu lying on his back, looking at the small snake darting among the wine in the earthenware jar, completely bewildered.

"It's just a small snake, why haven't you changed this habit yet!" Bai Qian squatted down to examine it closely: "But this is the first time I've ever seen a live snake in wine!"

"You little immortals are having a wonderful time!"

Lin Yaoxie looked over upon hearing the voice and immediately recognized it as Qing Cang. He guessed that the two people beside him were Princess Yanzhi and the eldest prince Li Yuan.

“This is the border of the Winged Realm, so the hundreds of people around here must be the Winged Realm army!” Ling Yu frowned slightly as he looked at the soldiers around him.
