A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 33: Plan

“Bang! Bang! Bang——!!”

Li Xuanxiao finally managed to forcefully retract the flying sword back into the sword case.

After that ordeal, Li Xuanxiao realized his injuries were quite serious—and Zhang Tianxin wasn’t in much better shape either.

The two confirmed their current location, then bid each other farewell. Li Xuanxiao returned to Mount Shushan.

Though this trip down the mountain was dangerous, one thing was now clear:

Fan Yue was actually the first Hall Master of Tian Sha Hall, the very founder of Tian Sha Hall.

And he was an old monster who had lived during the last era, now reincarnated!!

This news needed to be reported to Master immediately.

Report to Master?

Li Xuanxiao hesitated.

“..........”

Mount Shushan, Silver Sword Peak.

“Senior Brother, you’re finally back! I was so scared!”

Seeing her senior brother return, Little Junior Sister Zhao Lu burst into tears.

“You were missing for so many days, I thought you were dead.”

Li Xuanxiao comforted her a bit, only mentioning a small accident, without explaining the details.

“What about Third Senior Sister? How’s that guy named Fan Yue?”

“Everything’s normal,” Zhao Lu said. “They’re practically glued together every day. And he’s really handsome. Third Senior Sister doesn’t seem to mind...”

At this point, Zhao Lu quickly changed her words.

“Of course, no matter how handsome he is, he’s not as handsome as you, Senior Brother.”

Li Xuanxiao ignored her flattery. “Any other intel?”

Zhao Lu shook her head, then asked curiously, “Senior Brother, is there something wrong with that man Third Senior Sister brought back?”

“Nothing serious. Just can’t feel at ease without checking it out properly.”

Li Xuanxiao didn’t tell her the truth.

Zhao Lu was too pure-hearted. If she got too close to Third Senior Sister again, she might let something slip, or cause an unnecessary accident.

“........”

Turning around, Li Xuanxiao went to the main peak—Tongtian Peak.

Master was in seclusion, but if something urgent came up, Li Xuanxiao could report directly to Sect Leader Master.

He wandered around Tongtian Peak, thinking about how to explain things to Master.

Then, in his mind, he played out all the possible outcomes that could follow.

Most likely, Master would believe him. Even if not, he would at least investigate Fan Yue’s identity.

At that point, there would be two possibilities:

One, Master has a way to discover Fan Yue’s true identity—

Then he might kill Fan Yue on the spot?

(Fan Yue being a reincarnated soul, would he awaken some weird power? Unknown +1)

Would Lin Wanqing, Third Senior Sister, hold a grudge against him? Unknown +2

If Fan Yue was killed this time, would he reincarnate again?

Come back just to kill him? Unknown +3

Would Lin Wanqing descend into darkness because of Fan Yue’s death? Unknown +4

Two, Master can’t confirm Fan Yue’s identity and doesn’t believe Li Xuanxiao’s words—so the best he could do is expel Fan Yue.

Then Third Senior Sister and Fan Yue would part reluctantly, and it could lead to Lin Wanqing leaving the sect.

No matter what, Fan Yue would blame him for breaking them up... and come kill him.

“...........”

Li Xuanxiao propped his chin on both hands, brows tightly furrowed.

Too many uncertainties!!

He casually tossed three copper coins—Great misfortune!

“Click~”

Just then, Li Xuanxiao suddenly looked up.

His gaze fell on Fan Yue and Third Senior Sister Lin Wanqing approaching Tongtian Peak in the distance.

Fan Yue’s appearance immediately drew a lot of attention.

If Li Xuanxiao blended into a crowd like a bean blending in with other beans—utterly unremarkable—

Then Fan Yue was like a watermelon dropped into a pile of beans.

No help for it. Fan Yue’s looks were absolutely stunning, seemingly beyond the limits of the real world. It was like he’d walked right out of a masterpiece painting.

Every line, every contour of his face was flawlessly sculpted.

No matter the angle, Fan Yue looked perfect and dazzling, making it hard not to be captivated.

Fan Yue followed timidly behind Lin Wanqing.

Suddenly, the Mount Shushan guardian beast—the Water Qilin—stirred.

The Water Qilin had once traveled the world with Mount Shushan’s founding ancestor. When the sect was established, it had remained on the mountain.

Due to its incredibly long lifespan, it had stayed on as Mount Shushan’s guardian beast ever since.

Usually gentle in temperament, the Water Qilin suddenly came over and stood in front of Lin Wanqing.

Li Xuanxiao immediately grew tense. Could the Water Qilin have sensed something off too?

As a divine beast, it would make sense if it could see through Fan Yue’s identity.

If something happened here...

Li Xuanxiao frowned.

Lin Wanqing reached out and touched the Water Qilin’s big nose.

The Water Qilin was famously docile—everyone at Mount Shushan knew this.

Even if disciples rode on its back to take pictures with a Recording Stone, it wouldn’t mind.

But right now, the Water Qilin’s expression was serious.

It circled around Fan Yue twice.

Then scratched its head with a paw, twitched its long whiskers...

And finally wandered off to the side to resume its nap.

To bystanders, this looked like the Qilin had been wary of a stranger,

but found nothing unusual—proving that Fan Yue wasn’t someone with ill intent.

Lin Wanqing turned to Fan Yue with a smile, the last bit of doubt in her heart disappearing.

Fan Yue also smiled brightly.

“Big Sister.”

Lin Wanqing reached out, tiptoed, and ruffled his hair.

Fan Yue lowered his head, grinning like sunshine.

“Big Sister, play with me.”

“Be good~ Let me finish work first.”

“........”

Seeing this scene, Li Xuanxiao completely gave up on the idea of reporting to the sect.

Third Senior Sister Lin Wanqing’s eyes were full of affection.

It’s over. She’s already fallen in love.

Looks like it’s time to switch to another plan.

Fan Yue—the reincarnated Hall Master of Tian Sha Hall.

An ancient monster who had lived for who knew how many millennia. On his own, Li Xuanxiao was definitely no match for him.

Within Mount Shushan, the only thing capable of suppressing all evil spirits

was the legendary Mount Shushan Sword Formation.

The formation was centered around the Mount Shushan Sword, with the seven peaks of the mountain as its core structure.

Together, they formed a massive sword array.

The outer layers likely wouldn’t be powerful enough.

He’d have to use the innermost, core formation of Mount Shushan...

“Junior Sister.”

A voice transmission entered her ears—Zhao Lu was outside her Senior Brother’s room, secretly peeking in.

In her hands was a newly purchased sachet of Aphrodisiac Powder, which she was about to sprinkle under her Senior Brother’s pillow.

That way, when he went to sleep, he’d unknowingly...

But just then, her Senior Brother’s voice suddenly rang out, startling Zhao Lu.

She quickly hid her hands behind her back and straightened her posture.

“Senior Brother, I was just about to help you straighten your blankets, I didn’t have any other thoughts!”

Li Xuanxiao ignored her excuse. “I’ll be in seclusion for a while. During this time, make sure you focus on your cultivation, don’t run off or stir up trouble—got it?”

“Senior Brother, you’re going into seclusion again?” Zhao Lu’s pretty brows furrowed slightly.

“Mm. If anyone asks, just tell them I’m in seclusion.”

“Got it. Then hurry and come out soon, Senior Brother.”
