The improved female villains regained their memories.

The atmosphere gradually became strange.

School Song Cloud sensed that Yang Pingsheng wanted to say something, and Yang Pingsheng also anticipated School Song Cloud's answer. He knew some things, but still found it hard to believe.

"...Since you study formations, it's not good for you to stay indoors for too long. If you have time, you can go out more. Our Kongling Sect often organizes activities. If you're free, go and participate more often, and get to know other talented young people."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the school song could immediately understand Yang Pingsheng's meaning.

She lowered her head, her voice also becoming listless: "Master...do you want me to find a Daoist partner?"

"Fate cannot be forced. I am not a domineering parent from a mountain village. I just hope that you can get to know more people instead of revolving around your senior brother all day long."

Yang Pingsheng looked at the school song and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, disciple understands." School Song Cloud lowered his head and said softly.

Oh no, it looks like it's going in the opposite direction.

Yang Pingsheng realized something was wrong. The school song was clearly not understanding his words and was planning to outwardly comply but inwardly defy him.

Her current disappointment stems from the fact that she herself reminded him separately instead of her second senior brother and third senior sister. After all, she only had a crush on them, while her senior brother and sister were already secretly together.

Yang Pingsheng broke out in a cold sweat. If the other party thought that way, things would become even more complicated.

"So what are you going to do about Pingsheng? She clearly didn't listen to you," the system's voice sounded. "Continue to be clear, or..."

Yang Pingsheng said nothing.

He simply said, "You should go back first."

"Yes, disciple takes his leave."

The school song was sung by Yun, who stood up, bowed, and left.

"Huh!?" The system was stunned. Why not explain everything here? If it were evening and the main show started, Yang Pingsheng wouldn't have a chance.

"You've given up on my life?"

"Yeah, I've given up."

Why is that?

“Why…” Yang Pingsheng twirled the teacup in his hand, then suddenly gave a bitter laugh and said, “Because she has already fallen in love with Xiao Qitian. Even if I reveal Xiao Qitian’s identity, she probably won’t turn back.”

"why is that?"

"because……"

Because he was familiar with that look, that state of mind.

Wen Shihan, Luo Benmo... those female villains all showed that kind of look and acted that kind of state.

It's like a moth drawn to a flame.

I will never turn back unless I feel the pain of the flames.

If you want the school song cloud to wake up, you have to let her see it with her own eyes.

But by then, she was probably beyond saving.

-------------

Fox tribe.

Two humans strolled through the streets of the fox-people tribe.

They were two humans, a man and a woman. The man had a resolute face, a curved sword at his waist, wore official robes, and a tall hat. The woman was dressed similarly, with a beautiful face, a neat single ponytail, and a heroic face that was slightly androgynous.

The man's name was Zhi Xinghan, and the woman's name was Lan Xiu. Judging from their attire, they were clearly from the Cultivation Palace.

“Boss, this fox tribe is very well organized, just like a human village. If we hadn’t known beforehand, we would probably think it was another human village.” Lan Xiu said.

Zhi Xinghan nodded and said, "The so-called beastmen are actually no different from humans. They only choose to get close to their ancestral instincts in their blood in order to awaken the [Beast Transformation] skill. In the end, their fundamental purpose is still cultivation. It's just that our cultivation method is to absorb spiritual energy and construct attribute spiritual roots, while theirs is to restore demonic beasts and condense demonic energy patterns."

“In that case, the death of one of their tribesmen isn’t a big deal. Perhaps it was one of their orcs who did it,” Lan Xiu said. “I just don’t understand why their chieftain would pay such a high price to hire us to investigate the case.”

In this world, the temple of spiritual practitioners manages public order.

Because there is no concept of a nation, and the sects manage the secular world, the cultivation palace is considered a security post set up by the sects in the mortal world. They ensure local order and maintain stability in the mortal world. Many sects also send their disciples to the cultivation palace for training.

This place is on the edge of the territory of the Kongling Sect. Although it is on the edge, it is essentially Kongling Sect territory. Therefore, the people who come to the cultivation center are essentially people of the Kongling Sect.

“Every orc tribe has its own rules. For example, in the fox tribe, one of the rules is not to harm one’s fellow tribesmen,” Zhi Xinghan said. “Although orcs are supposed to be close to the beastly nature in their blood, they also have a human side. As human beings, they pursue order. Now, someone has broken this order, so as the leader of the tribe, he naturally cannot allow such a thing to happen.”

“But these two cases happened more than a month ago,” Lan Xiu sighed. “Can we still solve them?”

"As long as you walk, you will leave footprints. Even if the case is old, there must be clues to follow."

As they spoke, the two had reached the edge of the tribe and stopped in front of a bamboo house.

Zhi Xinghan looked at Lan Xiu and smiled slightly:

"As long as there are traces, the truth can be revealed."

The bamboo house in front of them was the girl's home.

Chapter 415 Clues to Demonic Nature

The grand performance began, and the disciples' reactions were roughly as Yang Pingsheng had predicted.

The school song was indignant, and her eyes reddened. Ye Chufei wanted to say something, but Bai Nanrong stopped him. Xiao Qitian, who was being punished, didn't say a word and silently endured it.

Li Chumo was arrogant and proud, and Yang Pingsheng's support made her even more convinced of the way of life she had chosen.

From that day on, Yang Pingsheng and his disciples began to drift apart.

We can never go back to the way things were; all that's left are the so-called rules.

Yang Pingsheng stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, watching Li Chumo practice his boxing.

The other disciples all made excuses to leave the courtyard; no one wanted to stay with this little devil.

"Actually, it's useless for you to teach her these things. The female villain in this life doesn't gain combat power through conventional means."

The dragonfly that the system transformed into landed on Yang Pingsheng's shoulder and whispered, "The demonic energy brought by [Beast Transformation] can enhance the villain's physical attributes, but this is not a good thing. The more her body is invaded by demonic energy, the more difficult it is to activate the power of the Primordial Void."

"A good thing?" Yang Pingsheng watched as a leaf slowly fell, only to be torn in two by Li Chumo's fist.

"This is bad. What if you really turn this little brat into a dog if you don't activate the power of the Great Void? We were hoping she would betray us like a traitor."

"Thank you."

As they were talking, a loud bang was heard, and the big tree in the yard collapsed and broke in two. Li Chumo withdrew his fist and looked at all of this, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Master..."

She suddenly turned around and ran over, throwing herself into Yang Pingsheng's arms, crying and whining, "It hurts so much, waaaaaah..."

Yang Pingsheng, the System, and the Big Tree: "..."

The female villain's physical strength is increasing. The system is right. She doesn't need the physical enhancement brought by demonic energy at all. As she gets older, her superhuman strength will increase on its own.

How could the remnants of the Sky-Mending Stone be anything ordinary?

"Are you hurt?" Yang Pingsheng asked softly, stroking her head.

"Yes, yes, I'm hurt!" She nodded hurriedly. "I don't want to practice anymore!"

Ultimately, it's just an excuse to avoid cultivation; Li Chumo now has quite the childlike nature.

"In that case, let's not refine it."

"Long live Master!" She was overjoyed and jumped up to kiss Yang Pingsheng.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and a few strands of hair clung to them, their purple color resembling flowers blooming by the roadside.

"Let's go play in the woods, Master!"

"Master has something to do today," Yang Pingsheng said, taking her hand and leading her to the stone table where her favorite food was laid out. "Can you play here by yourself?"

She obediently followed Yang Pingsheng to the stone table, her eyes lighting up at the sight of all the delicious food. She rushed over and stuffed food into her mouth, nodding with her cheeks puffed out, "Mmm!"

A piercing shriek echoed through the empty mountain forest.

In the azure sky, an eagle soars, taking in everything.

Yang Pingsheng looked up, glanced at Li Chumo, patted Li Chumo's head one last time, and flew towards Li Yaoyang's cave on his sword.

The eagle is the spirit pet of Li Yaoyang, the sect leader of the Kongling Sect. Its main purpose is to monitor and communicate. The fact that the eagle appeared on Yang Pingsheng's mountain peak is essentially Li Yaoyang notifying him to go there.

Yang Pingsheng thought to himself, "That's about enough."

In the familiar cave, beside the familiar spiritual spring, Li Yaoyang sat in the same posture as before, his eyes tightly closed.

"I'm sorry you've suffered these past few days."

"No, that's not true. Li Chumo is very obedient and cute," Yang Pingsheng replied, head down.

She is indeed very obedient and cute, but all of this is limited to her interactions with Yang Pingsheng.

She stole her senior brother's name tag, wanted to eat her senior sister's rabbit, and often ran down the mountain to bully outer disciples. It can be said that no one in the entire Kongling Sect liked her.

Li Yaoyang's eagles roam the skies year-round; he couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

"Your teacher's wife didn't come looking for you, did she?"

"No," Yang Pingsheng said, head down. After thinking for a moment, he added, "They just contacted me and told me to keep an eye on my illegitimate daughter."

It's now rumored in the Kongling Sect that Li Chumo is Yang Pingsheng's illegitimate daughter, which is why he dotes on her so much.

Li Yaoyang remained silent, saying nothing and his expression unchanged, but Yang Pingsheng felt that he was very satisfied.

"I may have to go into seclusion for a long time, probably a few years. The day of the Heroes' Demon Extermination Gathering is getting closer and closer. This is my last chance."

Li Yaoyang sighed softly, then turned his attention back to Li Chumo: "That's fine. Our Kongling Sect has few methods for training beastmen. Besides, for a girl like you, practicing martial arts is enough. There's no need to pursue anything too deep. A comfortable and happy life is enough."

“My master’s daughter is my junior sister.” Yang Pingsheng bowed. “Please rest assured, master, I will make sure everything is arranged properly.”

"You have never disappointed your teacher, and I am very relieved about that."

His long period of seclusion prevented him from recognizing his daughter immediately. The Heroes' Demon Extermination Gathering was the top priority, and he couldn't possibly abandon everything for an illegitimate daughter.

He comforted himself by thinking that it might be better to acknowledge each other after he had broken through to the next level and was able to stand on the platform.

It was precisely because of this idea that the first element of the subsequent blunder was formed. This was also what Heaven and the system expected. Yang Pingsheng saw it all but didn't say anything more.

Everything fell into place naturally.
