The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

"Friend, let's set aside this matter of the Spirit Formation Pearl for now."

Lin Xiao walked over and looked the man up and down. "Have we... met before?"

"I have the same feeling." The man's gaze was profound as he studied the young couple holding hands. He also felt as if he had seen this scene somewhere before.

"That time, that moment..." The man squinted, as if recalling something.

"Was just like this moment right now!"

Lin Xiao's expression shifted; he remembered too!

CHING!

He drew his Spirit Sword and shielded his junior sister behind him!

That's right!

This man was the trafficker who had kidnapped that little girl all those years ago!

In his youth, Lin Xiao had no cultivation and didn't know this man's background. Now, judging from the man's movement technique and Sword Intent, he was also a disciple of the Qinglan Sect!

"Heavens, I never expected the karmic ties in this world to be so wondrous."

The man looked emotional, a bitter smile touching his lips. "Fourteen years have passed in a flash, and you've grown into a dashing young Sword Cultivator."

"So, are you planning to settle scores with me today for what happened back then?" Lin Xiao asked lightly.

The hand behind his back, however, was tightly gripping a system-rewarded escape artifact—the Phoenix Soaring Thousand Miles Talisman!

If this man made any sudden moves, he would immediately flee with his junior sister!

Indeed, although this man's Sword Dao realm was similar to his, his cultivation level was already at the peak of the Dharma Appearance Stage! He was truly not someone Lin Xiao could fight head-on!

"Young man, no need to be nervous."

"I... am far inferior to you."

The man seemed to see through his thoughts. He gave a bitter smile and said, "I've been in seclusion for sixty years, practicing swordsmanship daily without slacking. However, my cultivation is only one realm higher than yours."

"My Sword Dao realm is even a notch below yours. Sigh."

At this, he sighed softly. "Let the past be the past. As for Ye Xuan'er, encountering a sword prodigy like you to save her... it must have been her immense luck, fated not to perish."

"But I have one question for you."

Just as Lin Xiao relaxed slightly, the man stared at him with sharp, brilliant eyes. "Under which Chairman are you currently studying? With your aptitude, you should be a towering figure among your peers by now. Why haven't I heard of you in all these years?"

"Eldest Senior Brother, this man is strange! We shouldn't get entangled with him!" Guo Yourong, looking worried, quickly pulled her Eldest Senior Brother aside.

"What!? You... you call him Eldest Senior Brother?"

"Then doesn't that make him... the Chief Disciple?"

At this, the man, who had been calm throughout, suddenly became agitated. "Speak! Which peak's Chief Disciple are you?"

Seeing Lin Xiao remain silent, he muttered to himself, "No, no, no! I should be able to deduce this myself!"

"The Chief Disciple of Dragon Head Peak is my Junior Brother Xu, Phoenix Caw Peak's is Zhu Wanning, Red Cloud Peak's is Wang Wu, and Tiandang Peak's is Ye Chen! So..."

At that moment, the man's eyes widened, his expression one of unprecedented shock. "It's you! You are Lin Xiao! Uncle Master Xiao's most beloved eldest disciple! The one who defeated Ye Chen twice!"

"It's me, Uncle," Lin Xiao said.

Since the man had figured it out to this extent, Lin Xiao simply shrugged. "So, do you still intend to take this Spirit Formation Pearl?"

He truly didn't care much for such worldly possessions. Right now, he only cared about two things: ascending to immortality, or the safety of his junior sister and Master.

"No, no... I am not worthy..."

The man looked dejected. "You are the one who defeated Ye Chen... You should keep it."

This person might be seriously ill.

Lin Xiao was torn between amusement and exasperation, so he instructed his junior sister to put away the Spirit Formation Pearl.

It turned out he had just consulted the system's AI about whether the current plot progression would be judged a failure.

To his surprise, the system's AI replied: Although the side story's plot has deviated, the fault does not lie with the Host. Furthermore, the character profile adherence is judged as satisfactory!

The lousy system had become... too gentle!

So gentle that it made him feel uneasy.

"Since that's the case, the green mountains will not change, and the clear waters will flow on. Uncle, let us part ways here!"

With Canglan City now the heartland of the Demon Sect, Lin Xiao didn't want any more complications and prepared to flee with his junior sister!

As for who this passerby, unmentioned in the original novel, actually was, he couldn't care less!

"Wait a moment!"

The man, however, inexplicably called out to him!

"Are you perhaps having second thoughts?" Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow.

"No. I have three things to say, and I hope you will listen." The man said with utmost sincerity.

"Please speak quickly," Lin Xiao said.

"First. If any major problems arise in this world, then perhaps the key to solving them lies with you! Because... you have rewritten your own original destiny!"

"Second!"

The man looked at the young woman beside Lin Xiao. "Please, you must protect the one beside you! If you are to love, then love boldly! Don't let any scumbags seize an opportunity!"

As he said this, Guo Yourong's cheeks flushed red. A thrill coursed through her heart, and she quickly stole a glance at her Eldest Senior Brother's handsome face.

"Uncle, you don't need to concern yourself with the marriage between me and my Eldest Senior Brother!"

She linked her arm with her Eldest Senior Brother's, her expression quite smug and proud.

Good grief!

When did I ever agree to marry you?

Tone it down, girl!

Lin Xiao felt a vein throb on his forehead.

However, the man ignored the public display of affection before him. "Third! Please remember this! You are the strongest Sword Cultivator in the recent history of the Qinglan Sect, Uncle Master Xiao's eldest disciple! Your fortune is second to none! Therefore—with great power comes great responsibility!"
