Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"That... Big... Big Senior Brother..."

—Something small seemed to be trembling in my arms.

When Gu Wangjun turned around, he found Duan Xingchen in his arms, looking like a surprised little rabbit, her face slightly flushed and her frail body trembling.

Because Duan Xingchen was still wearing the Taoist robe that the old rogue had given her, Gu Wangjun could see our junior sister's development very well from his perspective.

Compared to Xiaoyuchan, it's like comparing heaven and earth...

He blinked and chuckled sheepishly, "Sorry, I forgot."

He said this before putting Duan Xingchen down.

Upon landing, Duan Xingchen shrank back shyly, as she had basically never let another man touch her body since she was old enough to understand things.

Especially that perverted older brother, every time he would take the opportunity of teaching him martial arts to get close to him, and every time he would be kicked in the groin by Duan Xingchen.

And now—from the angle I was looking at just now, it seems that my body has been completely seen by my senior brother!

She glanced cautiously at Gu Wangjun and found that he was acting normally, still simple-minded, even a little silly. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would start grinning wickedly after getting a good deal.

If it were a teacher, they would definitely stroke their chin and say with a wicked grin, "Little Xingchen is developing quite well, hehehe"—such a lewd remark.

Moreover, the eldest brother has no hair, so maybe he was a monk in the past, which is why he doesn't get close to women.

Duan Xingchen stared at Prince Gu, imagining what Prince Gu would look like in a monk's robe.

Ok……

It looks perfectly natural!

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

"Ah...no..." Duan Xingchen quickly waved her hand, avoiding Gu Wangjun's gaze: "No...it's nothing..."

It's best not to voice your inner monologues or fantasies.

"Stars."

But Gu Wangjun's sudden serious voice startled Duan Xingchen.

"Yes...yes!"

She was so frightened that she immediately stood up straight, as if Gu Wangjun would hit her on the head with his Buddhist beads at any moment.

Meanwhile, seeing Duan Xingchen standing still, Gu Wangjun scratched his head, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with this girl? Come and see—"

"Eh?"

Duan Xingchen blinked, finally ending her internal monologue, and immediately jogged towards the direction where Gu Wangjun was.

She hadn't run more than a few steps when the light illuminated the thing stuck to the wall.

It was still a fragmented painting, but this time, the part on the painting happened to be a person's face—the part with the chin removed.

Duan Xingchen, who had just seen the complete facial features of the person in the painting, widened his eyes in surprise and exclaimed in astonishment.

"Senior Sister Ruoxue?!"

Yes.

now--

The tattered scroll pasted on the wall presented what Duan Xingchen and Gu Wangjun saw—

It was a face exactly like Zhang Ruoxue's.

27. Sky and Snow

That was indeed a face exactly like Zhang Ruoxue's.

Although Duan Xingchen hadn't spent much time with his senior sister Ruoxue, who loved drinking, the person in the painting did indeed look remarkably like Zhang Ruoxue in terms of facial features.

But it's only similar in appearance.

Although the painting was incomplete, Duan Xingchen could still see the woman who resembled Zhang Ruoxue standing majestically in the desolate desert, wearing a black horned general's helmet, with a solemn expression and a fierce killing intent between her brows.

In terms of demeanor, she is quite different from Senior Sister Ruoxue, who is sometimes dazed and somewhat thick-skinned.

Gu Wangjun could naturally see the difference between the person in the painting and Zhang Ruoxue. He calmed down and stared at the incomplete painting: "This person looks almost exactly like Junior Sister Ruoxue, but their expressions and auras are completely different... Although I would like to think of this as a coincidence, are there really two people in this world who look so alike?"

"Could it be... a relative of Junior Sister Ruoxue?"

Duan Xingchen considered this possibility.

If it were Zhang Ruoxue's ancestor, the inherited essence flowing in their bloodline might just happen to be activated in Zhang Ruoxue's generation, which would explain why she would look quite similar to her ancestor.

Faced with Duan Xingchen's doubts, Gu Wangjun pondered for a few seconds and shook his head: "I think the possibility is extremely small."

Why?

"Because Junior Sister Ruoxue was born into an ordinary family, firstly, there is no special inheritance in her bloodline, and secondly, her cultivation talent is also at a relatively low level, indicating that there are no people with high cultivation in her family. Moreover, even if it is as you say... the appearance of the ancestors and descendants is too similar, it is no different from being completely identical."

"Then how should this painting be interpreted?"

Duan Xingchen couldn't understand it.

Gu Wangjun was also unable to deduce anything from such limited information, and Zhang Ruoxue's image gradually appeared in his mind.

"Perhaps, Junior Sister Ruoxue has some secrets that she has never revealed until now."

"A secret... huh."

Duan Xingchen didn't think so.

Based on her impression of Zhang Ruoxue, her junior sister Ruoxue was obviously an honest person who would blush even when lying and would stammer when telling lies. Zhang Ruoxue, who was single-minded, should not have the skills to hide secrets.

Unless... this stubborn attitude was just an act from beginning to end.

—But that would be too much of a conspiracy theory.

"Starry Sky—you're the type who easily trusts others."

"Eh?"

Gu Wangjun's sudden remark left Duan Xingchen frozen in place.

"What's the meaning……"

"Literal meaning."

Duan Xingchen's lips twitched slightly, and a few dim lights flashed in his eyes.

She clenched her fists, staring at the expressionless Gu Wangjun, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke: "Senior Brother...you wouldn't be suspecting Junior Sister Ruoxue, would you? Suspecting that she's hiding something...something bad from us?"

If that's the case—

That would likely shatter Duan Xingchen's impression of Yuntian Academy completely.

What she initially saw was a warm, large family, where everyone had their own personality, yet unexpectedly, almost miraculously, they had all come together—such a wonderful place.

But what if there are so many suspicions that one is unaware of...

"No, how could that be?"

Gu Wangjun looked at Duan Xingchen with some surprise: "Why are you suddenly asking this..."

"Huh?" Duan Xingchen was taken aback: "But Senior Brother, weren't you just now..."

"Ah, that—" Gu Wangjun scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed: "Of course I didn't doubt Junior Sister Ruoxue. Even if she really has something to hide from us, it doesn't matter... I just think that with your personality, Junior Sister, you might suffer a great loss in the future."

"To suffer...to be at a disadvantage?"

Duan Xingchen couldn't quite understand what his senior brother was saying.

She seems a bit silly, so why do the things she says always sound so incomprehensible...?

Gu Wangjun seemed to have realized this as well, and with a silly grin, he touched his bald head, then waved his hand and said, "Anyway, just remember what I said, junior sister. Consider it advice from your senior brother."

"advice……"

Although a so-called summary was given at the end, Duan Xingchen still didn't understand what Gu Wangjun was saying.

Is there something wrong with my personality?

She blinked and thought carefully for a moment—could it be that she had done something to offend her senior brother? That shouldn't be the case, since she had been trying hard to integrate into Yuntian Academy recently.

During the time Duan Xingchen was pondering, something extremely familiar suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

Duan Xingchen frowned, and the moment his gaze fell upon it, his pupils shrank and his face turned pale.

"Senior Brother—"

She quickly beckoned Gu Wangjun over, and then pointed to a dark figure that had appeared on the counter to the side.

When Gu Wangjun saw this item, he also frowned, but unlike Duan Xingchen, he took the initiative to step forward and pick up the old, worn book from the dusty counter.

Autobiography

Yes.

The words on the second floor were exactly the same, as if telling Gu Wangjun and Duan Xingchen that the book on the third floor of the tower was the same one they had just read.

but--

They clearly saw that the books on the second floor had turned into blood.

Why has the book, which should have disappeared, reappeared on the third floor at this moment?

In an instant, a chilling fear of the unknown crept up Duan Xingchen's spine. The girl's delicate body trembled violently twice, and an unknown chill seemed to rise around her, like thin, pale arms scratching at her heart.

Gu Wangjun took a deep breath, glanced back at Duan Xingchen who was hiding behind him, clearly terrified of the situation, hesitated for a few seconds, and then reopened the autobiography.

Page 1 —

It was the same content as before, and every word seemed to contain endless rage.

"call--"

Gu Wangjun let out a long sigh, pinched the end of the page with his fingers, and slowly turned the page.

Page Two —

This time, there was no eerie red light, and the entire book did not turn into blood.

Nothing happened.
