After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

“I…” Her gaze shifted downwards.

"I understand!" Shi Yan quickly interrupted Donghuang Jin, looking utterly devastated.

"Sister Shiyan might not know—"

The teacher's expression remained frozen.

Do not!

I don't want to know!

I don't want to know anything!

“Your scrolls are actually very popular.” Donghuang Jin looked regretful. “Miss Wen Qieyun’s output is already low.”

"After the Martial Saint intervened..."

"Martial Saint?" Shi Yan murmured again.

"It's that great man who lives in seclusion in the city, and whose taverns are all over the Nine Provinces—" Sure enough, Donghuang Li revealed the identity of someone that gave Shi Yan a headache.

"After she made her move... it became increasingly difficult to obtain a suitable scroll for study."

"Early scroll paintings weren't bold enough..."

"It's also difficult to describe the beauty and grace of Shiyan's younger sister..."

Shi Yan truly believed her lies.

What is suitable for contemplation?

It's just a matter of whether or not the XP system was accessed.

But...did the tavern owner also have her own scroll?

Shi Yan seemed to have already seen it... Among the many taverns in the Nine Provinces, there was one tavern with a study on the second floor, where the walls were not covered with landscapes, but with his own paintings. The tavern owner was sitting with her legs crossed, rocking back and forth in a recliner, admiring the paintings.

This is fucking weird.

In the game... it would probably be an Easter egg achievement for "finding the anomaly in the tavern".

Only by finding that most special tavern can it be completed.

"So, Sister Shiyan..." Even when making such an excessive request, Donghuang Jin still maintained a virtuous and gentle demeanor, as if she wasn't discussing with Shiyan how to get her to take off her shoes and socks, but rather telling her... where there would be rare and precious herbs recently.

"Donghuang Aunt..." Shi Yan is a typical example of two people discussing their respective seniority.

In the past, Shi Yan would definitely be calling Jin-jie-jie (older sister Jin) sweetly by now.

But... things are different now.

Shi Yan no longer wanted to actively provoke any more girls... no, women.

There are far too many girls who need to take responsibility for themselves.

Shi Yan could even see the future... scenes of girls who would otherwise never have crossed paths with him, but whose fates were intertwined with his because of these scrolls, and who would come to him.

The scene was too beautiful for Shi Yan to think about.

Shi Yan solemnly declared that this had nothing to do with her feeling that the Taiyi Sect was a group of gentlemen and therefore she did not want to have too much to do with them anymore.

Shi Yan wanted to politely decline Donghuang Jin's request.

Although... taking off your shoes and socks isn't such a bad thing for you, right?

I don't think it would be of any use.

However, Shi Yan felt that he could not encourage this unhealthy trend.

Shi Yan even suspected that the tavern owner had spread these rumors to make the game more difficult for herself.

"I possess top-grade snow crystal ore..."

"This isn't about rare or precious materials," Shi Yan said, adopting an air of principle and fundamental importance.

"A whole ring."

"Sister Jin said it's just the two of us? Just... just one glance is enough, right?"

Absolutely...absolutely not because she gave too much.

Simply put—

Shi Yan believes that Donghuang Jin is Donghuang Li's aunt.

Since she is Donghuang Li's aunt, then we are all family.

Helping a family overcome difficulties is a matter of course, isn't it?

When Donghuang Jin breaks through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, won't I have another powerful backer?

"It's better not to publicize this kind of thing." Donghuang Jin obviously knew that it was best not to spread the fact that she was labeled as a philanderer.

"Let's talk about it after nightfall."

As they spoke, Donghuang Jin and Shi Yan knocked on Donghuang Li's door.

There was no response for a long time.

Shi Yan and Donghuang Jin exchanged a glance, before Shi Yan could even mention that she had a spare key.

Donghuang Jin simply raised his sleeve and blasted open Donghuang Li's door.

The room was completely empty.

The girl has escaped successfully yet again.

Part 295 Following Master's Words to Await Ah Li (Copying the Secret Post Was So Much Fun) [3K Words, First Update]

She curled up in the chair, her hands clasped around her knees, and gently kicked off her shoes, revealing her white stockings.

Then--

With an almost shy expression, she allowed Donghuang Jin to untie the ties on her socks.

This... is certainly not something Shi Yan would do.

【perhaps】.

If it were a teacher, it would be more appropriate to simply kick off his shoes and step on him.

Even if Donghuang Jin gave her too much, Shi Yan wasn't the kind of person who would sell her looks and integrity without any bottom line for such a small amount of rare and precious materials.

Hmm... if that kind of thing is still around.

She and Donghuang Jin stood in Donghuang Li's room.

The room was empty. The windows were open, and the curtains, bathed in the hazy glow of the morning sunlight, fluttered in the breeze.

It was as if it was silently telling the girl's escape route.

Shi Yan suppressed a sigh; she was truly fearless.

Even though they had just narrowly escaped death, they still looked terrified when facing it.

Then, in the blink of an eye, he forgot everything completely.

Although the girl possessed the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm, ... she was still in front of the Tomb of Loulan.

What does it matter if one's cultivation level is at the Nascent Soul stage?

"Ah Li?" Just by catching traces of Donghuang Li's past life in the room, Donghuang Jin's brows furrowed.

Shi Yan was checking the room.

With such a major event occurring, her deal with Donghuang Jin was naturally postponed.

For Shi Yan, this was actually a relief.

Shi Yan carefully investigated.

Apart from the hole in the screen, there were no other traces of drilling in the room.

The girl might have actually escaped by climbing out of the window.

But... this is not a form of magic.

Shi Yan followed Donghuang Jin to the window and looked down from above.

This is the second floor of the inn.

Outside the window is a bustling city street.

It should have been a very convenient escape route, if... Donghuang Jin hadn't sent people to keep an eye on this place.

Within Shi Yan's field of vision, there were at least three groups of Taiyi Sect members watching this place.

Moreover, there are also those cultivators with lower cultivation levels who are hiding.

Donghuang Li's attempt to escape through the window without making a sound was practically wishful thinking.

The teacher opened the girl's bedding and searched through it.

No results were found.

However... Shi Yan discovered some strange things in a corner.

A burnt talisman.

The yellow talisman paper had black burn marks remaining, the marks forming a row of flowing, flamboyant characters.

In the game, when you move the camera over it, a magnifying glass icon will appear.

She gestured towards Donghuang Jin.

Donghuang Jin took the burned talisman from Shi Yan's hand and immediately felt his head was about to explode.

“This is…” Shi Yan looked at the woman.

This is where her blind spot comes in.

She had only been reborn for a short time, so she might still recognize things that had appeared directly in the game.

Like this used talisman.

Master Yan really didn't have the ability to identify what it was.
