Lan Yan returned to her room and slumped onto the table, sighing, "System, I have no trust in you whatsoever. Is this mission even humanly possible!"
"Host, the method was your choice, don't blame me," the System replied helplessly. Besides, he had warned the host, but the host didn't listen.
Lan Yan was speechless. "You always say that, you heartless, stinky system. We've been through six worlds together, can't you be a little nicer to me? I'm truly miserable."
She rubbed her eyes, but not a single tear flowed. Instead, her eyes ached.
System: "..." What a foolish host. "Think of it this way, the lower the starting point, the greater the rebound. If Jun Yelan felt nothing for you, he wouldn't have gotten angry. What you need to do now is to appease him."
Lan Yan sighed again. "Do you think I don't know that? But it's difficult. Jun Yelan already dislikes cultivators, and now he probably doesn't want to see me. Sigh, what will tomorrow bring!"
She became melancholic and gradually closed her eyes, realizing that thinking was also exhausting.
The System was at a loss for words.
The next morning, Lan Yan encountered Lin Qian as she left her room and quickly hurried ahead. There was another big problem to deal with.
"Senior Sister, don't go," Lin Qian called out anxiously, only managing to see Lan Yan's hasty retreating figure. "Strange, why is Senior Sister in such a hurry? She's going to be late for the sect disciple's class."
He touched the back of his head and left in confusion.
Lan Yan was now outside a cave, peeking her head out. Seeing Jun Yelan resting with his eyes closed, she breathed a sigh of relief. She tiptoed in, lifted her foot, and a slight sound was made underfoot. Looking down, she realized she had stepped on a small pebble.
"Such a tiny pebble, they probably won't notice," she reassured herself. Looking up, she saw Jun Yelan's eyes filled with anger. She awkwardly raised her hand and greeted him, "Jun Yelan."
"Get lost!" Jun Yelan roared, causing Lan Yan to instinctively step back.
Lan Yan dared not move, standing rooted to the spot, staring at Jun Yelan. But Jun Yelan remained still, only looking at her.
If she were to ignore the hatred in Jun Yelan's eyes, she might have thought he cared about her. This was all her own doing.
Seeing Lan Yan with her head hanging low, Jun Yelan was almost swayed for a moment, his eyes deepening with hatred. This woman was so full of tricks. He had already discovered her deception, yet she was still pretending.
"You, get out of here immediately!" He clenched his fist, and strength gradually gathered in his palm, but it wasn't enough to break free from the chains on the wall. Otherwise, he would never let Lan Yan off so easily!
Seeing Jun Yelan's intense reaction, Lan Yan worried he might hurt himself and took a few steps back. "Alright, I'll go. But before I leave, I have a few words for you. After that, I'll leave."
She felt as if she sounded like a scumbag woman abandoning her boyfriend. Shaking her head, she dismissed the thought and said sincerely, "Jun Yelan, being a cultivator is just my identity, but my feelings for you are my own choice."
"I, Lan Yan, have never treated you as the 'beast' they speak of. I have only treated you as Jun Yelan. I truly believe you are very powerful and should not be confined here."
After speaking, she saw that Jun Yelan had no reaction and left with a sigh.
The plan had failed!
As for Jun Yelan, he watched Lan Yan's retreating back, a flicker of emotion surfacing in his eyes. He had previously been confused about Lan Yan's intentions towards him. After learning yesterday that Lan Yan was a beast tamer, he finally understood her purpose.
However, he felt an inexplicable discomfort. This person had approached him with an agenda. And she was even more despicable than those who had captured him because she feigned kindness and deceived him.
But were those really deceptions! He closed his eyes, trying to prevent himself from thinking, wanting to return to the days when he thought of nothing. But his mind was already out of control. kuAiδugg
Lan Yan walked out of the cave, still troubled about how to make Jun Yelan believe her, when she saw several sect disciples appear before her. What was happening now!
Lin Qian emerged from among the sect disciples and hurried to Lan Yan's side, calling out, "Senior Sister, who told you not to attend class? They are here to take you. You know the Sect Leader's temper, hurry and go."
"I don't know," Lan Yan replied. Aside from the basic information of this world, she had ignored everything else. She asked, "I was taming a beast, do I still have to go?"
Lin Qian sighed. "You didn't have to before, but after the Young Lady came last time, she complained to the Sect Leader that you weren't diligently taming beasts. So, this is the trouble you're in now."
Only then did Lan Yan understand that it was Xiao Lingling's doing. No wonder such a thing hadn't happened before. She looked at the sect disciples in front of her and realized she had no choice but to go.
As she walked forward, she saw sect disciples guarding the cave entrance and angrily exclaimed, "What do you want!"
Lin Qian saw his Senior Sister getting agitated again and advised, "Senior Sister, they are here on the Sect Leader's orders."
Lan Yan's anger flared immediately. These people wanted to further restrict Jun Yelan. She took out a paper figurine and, like last time, flew into the cave, warning Jun Yelan to be careful.
These people wouldn't treat Jun Yelan as kindly as she did.
Finally, she left in frustration and arrived at the place for lessons, but no one was there. "Are they playing with me!"
As soon as she spoke, someone walked in from the doorway. It was Xiao Lingling in red. She said with a smug smile, "Lan Yan, you didn't attend class, so my father has punished you to copy the sect rules a hundred times."
"It's you again." Lan Yan had been looking for an opportunity to confront Xiao Lingling and curved her lips. "Xiao Lingling, you can never win against me, so you resort to such dirty tactics. I can copy the sect rules, but someone else has also made a mistake and should copy them together."
Xiao Lingling didn't react immediately. "Who?"
Lan Yan smiled and pointed at Xiao Lingling. "You targeted a fellow disciple without reason and disrupted my beast taming. According to the sect rules, you should copy them three hundred times. Miss Xiao, let's copy them together!"
"You're framing me!"
Lan Yan spread her hands, feigning indifference. "Every time you come to find me, there are quite a few people around. With so many eyes watching, you can't escape."
This was Xiao Lingling digging her own grave.
Xiao Lingling was stunned and for a moment, she actually wanted to agree with Lan Yan's words. She shook her head and said, "No, I am the Sect Leader's daughter!"
"The sect rules do not state that the Sect Leader's daughter is exempt from punishment when she makes a mistake," Lan Yan said with a smile. "Xiao Lingling, either go explain to your father, or copy them with me. I have plenty of time anyway."
She leisurely sat down in a chair and took out her paper and brush.
Xiao Lingling bit her lip and cried out, "Don't write, I'll go find Father." She really had the worst luck, being suppressed by Lan Yan every time recently, completely unable to cause trouble for this person.
"Hurry, time waits for no one," Lan Yan said, watching Xiao Lingling rush off with a smile. She put down the paper and brush. However, looking at the paper and brush, she thought of a good idea to resolve the misunderstanding with Jun Yelan.
She then ran towards the cave and, seeing the people guarding the entrance, exclaimed that it was bad. She had to solve this problem first.
