Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 276 Yan Xue'er

Yan Nanfei hesitated and said, "But Xue'er, didn't you say that the cultivation method was to suppress the uncontrollable dragon flames in the bloodline of the male members of your Qing family?"

"It's a secret passed down only to men, not women. If you practice like this secretly, it'll lead to serious trouble..."

Yan Xue'er's pretty face was full of indifference, "What suppression of Dragon Flame? I don't believe it!"

"My dad is biased. He's afraid I'll surpass my brother, that's why he won't let me practice!"

"But....."

Yan Xue'er suddenly became impatient. "No buts, Nanfei, let me tell you, if my father finds out, we're breaking off all ties!"

"So, you told Yan Xue'er's father?"

Yan Nanfei shook his head. "No, I didn't tell anyone, but I'm still worried about her, so I try to persuade her to stop whenever I get the chance."

"She disappeared for a few days, and coincidentally, a plague broke out. No one noticed when she reappeared. The next time we were alone together was on the way to pick snake fruit."

"What happened next..."

After listening, Feng Siyue found that what she said was not much different from what Ali had said.

"But that day, you were clearly all alone."

"That day..."

The weather was gloomy.

Seeing the signs that it looked like it was going to rain, Yan Nanfei said to Yan Xue'er behind him, "Xue'er, it's going to rain. Should we find somewhere to take shelter?"

Behind her, Yan Xue'er, dressed in white with a sickly pallor, spoke with a sharp edge, "Yan Nanfei, my cultivation has advanced to the Spirit Emperor level."

"The Spirit Emperor? So fast?"

Yan Nanfei was initially delighted, but then asked with concern, "Xue'er, is it because of the cultivation technique?"

Yan Xue'er snorted coldly, "That old bastard from Yanyuan Mountain, all he knows is favoritism! If he passed this cultivation method on to me, I'm afraid I'd be far more powerful than that good-for-nothing brother of mine!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Nanfei turned around and looked at the girl in front of him, who exuded a gloomy aura. For the first time, he realized that he didn't even recognize her. "Xue'er, Lord Yan is your father. How can you address him like that?"

"Father? Does he even treat me like a daughter?!"

"Xue'er, you....."

Suddenly, Yan Nanfei covered his mouth in surprise and pointed to her neck, saying, "Xue'er, your neck..."

Why are there so many black lines?

"neck?"

Yan Xue'er's face darkened as she realized something!

She clutched her neck and turned to leave, saying, "Yan Nanfei, you'd better forget what you saw today, or I'll make you regret it!"

Yan Nanfei quickly grabbed her, "Xue'er! Go back and tell your father the truth! I'm very worried about you!"

The girl coldly brushed her aside, saying, "I don't need your pretense!"

Yan Xue'er ran away.

"Black line?"

Yan Nanfei nodded.

Feng Siyue pondered for a moment, then looked at the room full of corpses and asked, "What happened to them?"

Mentioning them, Yan Nanfei's eyes reddened again, and sadness overwhelmed him once more. "After leaving your house that day, I never went back so as not to implicate the people at the barbecue shop."

"When I had nowhere to go, I met them..."

When Yan Nanfei left Feng Ning's courtyard, a light drizzle was falling from the sky.

She walked aimlessly along the path, not knowing where she was going or what the future held.

In this vast world, there is nowhere for her to find refuge.

His mother died of anger, he was expelled from the academy, his cultivation was destroyed, and his appearance was ruined...

What is the meaning of her life?

It would be better to just die.

The drizzle turned into a downpour, and the icy rain pounded on her face, making her numb with pain.

Everything around me seemed to be spinning.

Yan Nanfei finally closed his eyes and collapsed by the roadside with a 'thud'.

After a while.

"Grandpa Sect Master, please give me some food, I'm so hungry..."

A girl in a light yellow shirt chased after an old man with a white beard, begging for food.

Chen Chi glared at her helplessly, "Eat, eat, all you know is eating! Have you memorized the complete herbal medicine manual? The academy competition is coming up soon, at least try to do your best!"

The girl pouted, "Grandpa Sect Master, I could recite that book backwards a month ago. Can you just give it to me? We'll be in Thousand Water City soon anyway."

The boy next to her, dressed in black shorts, almost laughed. "Little Flower, you've eaten twenty pancakes on this trip. You have quite the appetite."

The dozen or so boys and girls behind him laughed and echoed.

"Yes."

"Xiaohua, your face is getting chubby, eat less."

"That's it~"

"What if Rou Rou can't get married in the future?"

Someone covered their mouth and chuckled, "Why do you need to worry about this? That guy Ge De is probably hoping no one will compete with him for Xiaohua!"

"You agree, don't you, God?"

The boy next to Xiaohua blushed bright red.

What are you talking about!?

"Oh my, you're even shy now."

Xiaohua blushed, "Tch~ Who wants him to marry me?"

As he spoke, he ran a few steps forward.

Chen Chi watched their interaction with a smile, and only when he felt they had said enough did he pretend to be serious and say...

"Alright, alright! What kind of behavior is this, grinning like that?! Have you forgotten the rules of our Pilgrimage Sect?"

Everyone immediately put on an act of being mature beyond their years.

"Understood, Sect Master!"
