NOVEL WEB Ch. 78
Lu Xueqi: “Xiao Yan, the pills I refined differ somewhat from those in your world. Could you evaluate them briefly and see if there are any mistakes in the refining process? If possible, please give me some pointers.”
Xiao Yan: “Miss Lu, rest assured. However, I think it’s best if my teacher evaluates them. With my current level in pill refining, I’m afraid I can’t offer much advice.”
Lu Xueqi: “Alright, thank you.”
Xiao Yan: “Don’t mention it, we’re all fellow group members.”
While they were chatting, a notification suddenly sounded in the chat group.
“Ding, Wang Yuyan from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World has joined the chat group.”
Lu Xueqi was slightly startled upon hearing the notification.
Wang Yuyan had actually joined the chat group? That was a bit unexpected. She immediately shifted her attention to the chat group panel, which had become lively.
Lu Yu: “Welcome Wang Yuyan to the chat group.”
Huang Rong: “Welcome, newcomer.”
Zhang Sanfeng: “Welcome.”
Xiong Ba: “Welcome.”
Xiao Yan: “Wang Yuyan? Is it the one from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World? Welcome!”
Lu Xueqi: “Welcome, newcomer.”
Xiaolongnü: “Welcome, newcomer.”
At that moment, Wang Yuyan in Mandala Villa was utterly shocked as she listened to the voice in her mind.
She had been thinking about her cousin at home today when a mysterious presence suddenly invited her to join a chat group.
After a brief moment of contemplation, she decided to join.
After all, life in the villa was too lonely. Her cousin mostly came to ask about martial arts and rarely showed care for her. This strange and novel chat group piqued her curiosity.
Wang Yuyan: “Who are you people? Is this the chat group?”
Lu Yu: “Miss Wang, I am the administrator of the chat group. Welcome.”
Wang Yuyan: “Thank you.”
Huang Rong: “Wang Yuyan? Lu Yu, what era is Wang Yuyan from? Do you have her Fate File?”
Lu Yu: “Of course. Wang Yuyan, would you like me to release your Fate File?”
Wang Yuyan was slightly stunned. She still didn’t understand what a “Fate File” was. She had only managed to post in the group by following her intuition, and now hesitated.
Wang Yuyan: “Lu Yu, what is a Fate File? Could you explain it?”
Lu Yu: “Of course. A Fate File outlines the future development of your world. It can be considered a glimpse into your world’s future. But you don’t need to fully believe it—nothing is absolute.”
Wang Yuyan: “I see. Thank you. Please share it—I’d like to have a look.”
At that moment, she was filled with anticipation—would she and her cousin finally end up together? When would he next come to visit her?
Moments later, a new file appeared in the chat group: 《Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils》.
Lu Yu: “Miss Wang, this is the Fate File of your world. You may go and take a look.”
Wang Yuyan: “Thank you, I’ll read it now.”
Xiao Yan: “Another Fate File to read! I’ll go refresh my memory too. Though I’ve read the novel and watched the drama, it’s been a long time.”
Xiong Ba: “I’ll take a look as well.”
Zhang Sanfeng: “Hmm, I don’t know what era Wang Yuyan is from. It’s good to find out.”
Xiaolongnü: “I’ll check it too.”
Although Lu Xueqi was familiar with the 《Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils》 Fate File, she still wanted to revisit the storyline and clicked in along with the others.
A long while later...
Huang Rong: “I didn’t expect Miss Wang’s world to be from an earlier era than ours!”
Lu Yu: “That’s right. You all are in the Southern Song Dynasty. Wang Yuyan’s world is set in the Northern Song, more than a hundred years apart.”
Huang Rong: “So that’s how it is. But Miss Wang, why do I get the feeling you’re a bit of a love brain?”
Having spent a long time in the chat group, Huang Rong had picked up some modern slang and had learned the term “love brain”.
After Wang Yuyan finished reading the Fate File, she felt utterly confused.
She had ended up in such a situation with her cousin? Her cousin turned out to be a hypocrite who would sacrifice everything for the sake of restoring his kingdom?
Wang Yuyan: “Miss Huang, what is a love brain?”
Huang Rong: “It means someone who places too much importance on love—believing whatever a man says without question.”
Wang Yuyan: “I see. After reading the Fate File, I do feel like I behaved like that. Did I really make a mistake?”
Xiao Yan: “Miss Wang, you and Murong Fu were never a good match. His heart is entirely set on the great task of restoration; he mostly used you without genuine affection. You need to see his true colors.”
Wang Yuyan: “I understand now. Thank you, Xiao Yan. But the years of affection between me and my cousin… only to be cast aside by him… I don’t know what to do from here.”
Huang Rong: “Sister Yuyan, what do you think of that Duan Yu?”
Wang Yuyan: “To be honest, I don’t have a strong impression of him. Though I saw in the Fate File that he has feelings for me, he has too many close female companions. I don’t wish to get entangled.”
Lu Yu: “Duan Yu does indeed have quite a few female companions. And by blood, you two are considered cousins within the same clan. Your bloodline is quite close—marriage could be inappropriate.”
Wang Yuyan: “Why is that?”
Lu Yu: “According to modern studies, marriage between close relatives significantly increases the risk of congenital genetic disorders in newborns. In later generations, countries no longer advocate for it.”
Wang Yuyan: “I see.”
Xiao Yan: “That’s indeed the case. But Miss Wang, is your relationship with Duan Yu beyond three generations?”
Lu Yu: “That’s unclear. But judging from the Fate File, Duan Yu may treat you gently, yet he seems to fall for every girl he meets, much like his father, Duan Zhengchun.”
Huang Rong: “Exactly. I really can’t bring myself to like people who leave feelings everywhere they go.”
As they chatted casually with group members, three days passed quietly.
That day, after a bit of grooming, Lu Xueqi flew toward Tongtian Peak alongside Master Shuiyue.
Today was the day of her final battle with Qi Hao to decide the champion of the Seven Peaks Tournament.
At that moment, inside Tongtian Peak, Cang Song looked solemnly at Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu inside the room.
“Today is the day of your duel with Lu Xueqi. The outcome will determine the champion of this Seven Peaks Tournament. Qi Hao, you must give it your all today and bring the championship to Longshou Peak!”
Qi Hao’s expression showed a trace of awkwardness.
Though he had recovered quite a bit over the past three days, he was still not fully healed. Currently, he was at only seventy percent of his full strength.
Knowing that his opponent, Lu Xueqi, possessed the strength of the Upper Purity Realm while he was only at the Ninth Level of the Jade Purity Realm—and still injured—he truly lacked confidence in this duel.
But he still braced himself and responded,
“Master, I will do my best.”
Cang Song sighed, clearly aware that Qi Hao had little chance of winning today.
He then turned to Lin Jingyu.
“Jingyu, today you’ll be facing Zhang Xiaofan of Dazhu Peak. His strength is unfathomable. I heard he displayed the combat power of the Upper Purity Realm when he fought Lu Xueqi. You must be extremely careful.”
Lin Jingyu nodded solemnly.
At that moment, his emotions were highly conflicted. Learning that his old companion from Caomiao Village had now cultivated to the Seventh Level of the Jade Purity Realm and possessed such terrifying strength filled him with astonishment.
Qi Hao was equally shocked by Zhang Xiaofan’s transformation and even developed a bold hypothesis together with Lin Jingyu—
Zhang Xiaofan might also be a transmigrator!
To test this suspicion, Qi Hao even set aside his personal grudge with Lin Jingyu and sought him out to propose probing Zhang Xiaofan.
Lin Jingyu understood the significance of this.
If Zhang Xiaofan really was a transmigrator, they decided they would join forces to eliminate him.
After all, despite their many differences, they were both disciples of Longshou Peak. Compared to an outsider transmigrator, they were still closer to each other.
Moreover, if Zhang Xiaofan was already this powerful at just the Seventh Level of the Jade Purity Realm, letting him grow unchecked could become a serious threat in the future...
