Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 457: This Script Isn’t Right!

The woman waved her hand in front of Lin Fengmian, who seemed to be lost in thought. “Hey, do you know my mother?”

She was only dressed in a few pieces of cloth, barely covering her vital areas. The simple movement caused her to inadvertently expose quite a bit of her alluring figure.

Her stunning physique was no less impressive than Zhen Bai’s, and in some ways, she even surpassed her.

Lin Fengmian quickly shook his head. “No, I don’t!”

“Then how do you know my mother’s name?” the woman asked curiously.

“What name?”

Lin Fengmian pretended to be clueless. “I just thought you were really fair-skinned, so I blurted it out without thinking. Please don’t take offense.”

The woman glanced down at her ample bosom, then tilted her head and looked at him with a mix of suspicion and amusement.

“So you’re just a pervert?”

Lin Fengmian broke out in a cold sweat. “Uh, I was just appreciating beauty from an artistic perspective!”

He quickly changed the subject. “May I ask your name, Fairy? And where is this place? Why am I here with you?”

The woman smiled brightly. “My name is Yue Shuying. I was assigned by Sect Master Shangguan to take care of you here.”

Lin Fengmian hesitated. “Are you… a demon?”

The demonic aura around Yue Shuying was not strong, so he wasn’t entirely sure.

“Something like that. I’m half demon,” Yue Shuying replied with a gentle smile.

Lin Fengmian stared at her in shock. A half-demon?

Yue Shuying?

It was hard not to connect her with the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor!

Was the child Zhen Bai was carrying back then the child of the Moon Shadow Blade Emperor?

Disgusting!

That old lecher actually went after a Heavenly Leech Demon? What a depraved monster!

Seeing Lin Fengmian’s stunned expression, Yue Shuying assumed that he didn’t understand what a half-demon was and patiently explained it to him.

“A half-demon is the child of a human and a demon. They inherit some of the demon’s talents, but their lifespan and innate abilities are usually weaker than those of a pure-blood demon.”

Lin Fengmian nodded. “I see.” He then asked curiously, “Why are you here, Fairy Yue?”

Yue Shuying answered honestly, “A few months ago, Sect Master Shangguan found me in the Yunmeng Domain. She said that she knew about my father’s whereabouts.”

“She promised to help me find him if I worked for her, so I followed her.”

Lin Fengmian was taken aback. “And you just believed her?”

Yue Shuying pouted. “Of course, I knew that she was lying. But I couldn’t beat her, so I had no choice but to go along with it.”

Lin Fengmian had initially thought that this half-demon was as naive and innocent as Yunshang had been in the past. To his surprise, she was actually quite sharp.

He estimated that Yue Shuying was around the Nascent Soul realm. By human standards, her progress was relatively slow.

However, demons naturally cultivated at a slower pace, and half-demons with inferior talents were even slower. It made sense that she couldn’t defeat Shangguan Yuqiong.

“Did your mother ever tell you who your father was?”

“No!”

Yue Shuying’s eyes burned with hatred as she gritted her teeth. “If I ever find that bastard, I’ll tear him to pieces!”

Lin Fengmian had expected her to embark on a heartfelt journey to find her father, but instead, she was plotting revenge.

“Why do you hate him so much?”

“Why do you care?”

Yue Shuying narrowed her eyes, looking suspiciously at Lin Fengmian. “You’re not such a bastard, are you?”

Lin Fengmian forced a dry laugh. “Look at my age. How could I be? I’m just curious.”

Yue Shuying obviously didn’t want to elaborate. “It’s none of your business.”

Lin Fengmian wanted to ask more, but his current identity didn’t allow it. Otherwise, he might end up being labeled as her father.

He chuckled awkwardly. “I apologize for prying.”

Yue Shuying didn’t seem to mind his question and said indifferently, “Sect Master Shangguan asked me to notify her as soon as you woke up. She said that time is running out.”

Lin Fengmian nodded. “Then I’ll trouble you, Miss Yue, to inform the Sect Master for me.”

Yue Shuying pulled Lin Fengmian along as they swam towards the shore, following the current of the water. She then activated a communication token.

A short while later, Shangguan Yu appeared with a cold expression on her face as she looked at Lin Fengmian. “If you didn’t wake up soon, I was going to bury you.”

Lin Fengmian felt a pang of dissatisfaction. This woman really has no sense of gratitude!

Now that her cultivation had returned, so had her temper.

“This secret technique has a time limit. I couldn’t control how long I would be unconscious. I apologize for keeping you waiting, Sect Master.”

Shangguan Yu didn’t push the issue any further. She coldly said, “Follow me.”

Lin Fengmian nodded and followed her. Curious, Yue Shuying trailed behind them along the water.

The three of them navigated through the winding caverns until they reached a hidden chamber where the Han sisters were waiting for them.

The Han sisters had previously received a message from Shangguan Qiong, instructing them to return. However, they had struggled to come up with a suitable excuse.

It wasn’t until Shangguan Qiong mentioned needing their help to deliver gifts that they were able to leave Jun Wuxie’s side and return to the Joyful Union Sect.

The sisters had only been back for two days when Lin Fengmian “resurrected”.

Upon seeing Shangguan Yu, the two women quickly stood up and bowed. Shangguan Yu acknowledged them with a nod and gestured for Lin Fengmian to revert to his original appearance.

She then issued a cold command. “In half a month, Jun Wuxie will arrive in Haining City.”

“You two, make sure to teach him how to imitate Jun Wuxie’s every move, including subtle expressions, habits, and preferences.”

“Yes, Master!” the Han sisters replied in unison.

Shangguan Yu then tossed a jade note to Lin Fengmian and said gravely, “This contains basic information about Jun Wuxei. Take a look.”

Lin Fengmian examined the information on Jun Wuxie, but suddenly frowned in confusion. “Are you sure you didn’t give me the wrong information?”

“How could we?”

Shangguan Yu took back the jade slip and carefully scrutinized it. “No, this is definitely Jun Wuxie’s information.”

“No, no, no. The script shouldn’t be like this. You must have made a mistake!” Lin Fengmian insisted with a serious expression.

Seeing Shangguan Yu, the Han sisters, and even Yue Shuying looking at him curiously, Lin Fengmian decided to explain his confusion.

“Generally speaking, if you’re daring enough to make a move like this, Jun Wuxie should be a weak prince who is unloved by his father and mother, right?”

“Following the usual trope, he should have poor spiritual roots, be a notorious scoundrel in the Heavenly Grace Dynasty, and have a reputation for doing all sorts of evil deeds.”

“Then all the court officials would look down on me, and I’d have a few no-good friends and a fiancée who despises me.”

Shangguan Yu looked at him blankly. “And then?”

Lin Fengmian continued matter-of-factly, “Then, after I disguise myself as him, I can start showing off, slapping faces left and right, and shocking everyone with my rise to power.”

“Eventually, I would win the heart of a beauty, earn everyone’s admiration, and achieve both love and a glorious reign. I would rise to the pinnacle of life!”

Shangguan Yu pursed her lips, her expression turning rather peculiar.

“So, because the story doesn’t match your imagined plot, you think we gave you the wrong information?”

The Han sisters pinched each other, trying hard not to burst out laughing as they watched Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian nodded seriously. “Exactly! Look, aside from his poor spiritual roots, what part of this fits the standard trope?”

“He’s been doted on by the King of Heavenly Grace since childhood, favored by Empress Fengyao, and at fifteen, he was accepted into the Heavenly Fiend Hall.”

“Wherever he goes, officials bow and retreat. He may not have overwhelming power, but in Tianze, few dare to provoke him!”

He lamented, “He’s already at the peak of his life! How can I show off and shock everyone?”

“And most importantly, where’s the fiancée? If he’s so favored, why isn’t there a stunningly beautiful fiancée arranged for him?”
