The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C181

Chapter 181: Yun Xi returns from the Western Regions to learn scriptures

At dusk, fine snow began to fall from the sky. The once lively streets of Wang Chuan Town grew quiet, with only three cultivators in raincoats and face scarves walking along the deserted streets.

The leader, a man with a dignified demeanor and deep purple eyes above his scarf, calmly surveyed the path ahead, revealing a hint of sternness. Walking beside him was a girl with orange eyes, holding his hand. Upon seeing the scattered snowflakes, she reached out, caught one, and examined it closely.

“Brother, it’s snowing,” She exclaimed.

“Yes, it’s early winter, and we’ve been on the road for almost two months,” He replied.

Ye Anping turned to look at his junior sister, her calm eyes and adjusted her slightly crooked bamboo hat. Then he turned his gaze to the other side.

The senior siblings were accustomed to the cold, a light snowfall didn’t faze them. However, Feng Yudie seemed uncomfortable, struggling to speak clearly.

“Brother Ye, let’s find an inn to rest. How did the weather change after crossing the border? Is the Southern Territory so cold?” She stammered.

“The winter in the Southern Region feels colder,” He explained.

Ye Anping sighed, then took out a cloak from his storage bag and draped it over her. “Tie it yourself,” He instructed.

Feng Yudie quickly tied the cloak’s red ropes and flashed a smile. She pulled the cloak tighter, blinked at Ye Anping, and spoke sweetly, “Thank you, Master Ye.”

Ye Anping raised an eyebrow, wondering why she was acting this way. Was she afraid he would take her spirit stones?

He shook his head slightly and corrected her, “Thank the man properly. Just say ‘Thank you’ without smiling.”

“Oh!” Feng Yudie’s expression changed. “Thank you very much!”

“Men should express gratitude sincerely,” He remarked.

With a glance, Ye Anping noticed her shivering. “Are you so sensitive to the cold?”

He sighed and covered her with the cloak. “Let’s find an inn,” He suggested.

The Forget River Inn’s sign above the entrance appeared aged, indicating its long history. Ye Anping suspected the innkeepers had keen eyes.

Approaching the inn, Ye Anping called out to a waiter, “Boy, we’ll stay.”

The inn’s waiter hurried over, bowed, and apologized. “We only have one room. Perhaps the young lady can stay inside, and I’ll arrange two beds downstairs for the gentlemen.”

Feng Yudie’s male disguise was effective. The waiters, usually astute at spotting women in disguise, had not caught on.

“Let us sleep together, and it’ll be fine.”

The waiter was puzzled momentarily, two men and a woman sleeping together.

Seeing his expression, Ye Anping paused and explained, “I misspoke. Please bring us two bedding sets later, my senior brother and I will sleep on the floor.”

“Oh… I understand, I understand! Please come in…”

On the second floor in the private room, Ye Anping took off his raincoat and bamboo hat and asked the waiter for a pot of hot tea for his junior sister and Feng Yudie while he went to the window to look into the distance. He also took the opportunity to finalize the plan.

In the Moon Shadow Sword Sect incident, if he wanted all three ladies to survive in the end, he needed to increase the favorability between them.

In other words, he needed to transform their current state of mutual hostility into trust, where each of them was willing to trust the other two with their back.

This event in the game had three value bars,

—Favorability between Yun Yiyi and Yun Jiujiu.

—Favorability between Yun Yiyi and Yun Xi.

—Favorability between Yun Xi and Yun Jiujiu.

The initial values were all “-50”, and players needed to increase these values through different event options.

The strategy team in the game analyzed all the options and found that no matter how they played, at most two bars reached “+50”, meaning at least one person would die.

But theoretically, if all three value bars were changed to “+50”, all three people could survive. That was his goal. The matter of “improving the favorability of others” sounded challenging, but in reality, there were only two ways to increase favorability between people:

Enjoying good things together and facing common enemies. From these two points of view, the whole thing became clear. He needed to set up a situation where the three of them were in danger simultaneously, relying on each other to escape the threat. Then, he would redirect the blame towards others, claim the reward, and run. However, to set up a game, he must first enter the game.

Thinking about this, Ye Anping turned to look at his junior sister and decided to send her and Feng Yudie into the game first. He was most concerned about his junior sister among the three, so it was best to help her pave the way.

In other words, he would first send his junior sister to Yun Xi, using the “illegitimate daughter of Yun Tianchong” and Leaves Shadow Sword Technique to deceive Yun Xi’s trust.

Yun Xi had the kindest personality among the three, and his junior sister wouldn’t encounter any danger if she followed her.

But…

“The question is, where is Yun Xi now?”

Because of the conflict with the game timeline, he was unsure of Yun Xi’s location. He would have to wait outside if she weren’t in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. But how long would that take?

“It would be great if Brother Liang was here. He has a wide network of contacts. It shouldn’t be a problem to inquire about individuals…”

Ye Anping shook his head and decided to go to the black market to find information dealers. Major sects usually kept an eye on the whereabouts of their young masters, just in case.

He suddenly saw two scarred cultivators wearing bamboo hats and walking on crutches towards the inn’s entrance.

“Hey! It’s finally here!! I’m so exhausted… Waiter!! Waiter!! Where is the person?”

“Young miss, why is our luck so bad? Encountering a demonic cultivator invasion at Chilong Mansion, facing turmoil in Xi Zhou, and just crossing the border, we’re targeted by bandits again…”

“I feel like you’re a jinx.” The woman glanced at him indifferently, “At Chilong Mansion, of the twelve disciples I brought out, you’re the only one still alive, tsk…”

“Ah! Young lady, I’m unfairly accused…”

The woman waved her hands and said angrily, “I’ll never take you out next time. By the way, did you lose the ashes of senior brothers and sisters? When we return, I want to bury them in the Sword Sect disciples’ tomb.”

“No…” the man touched his storage bag and murmured, “One, two, three, four… ten… hmm! Why is there one missing… Hiss – wait, let me count again, one, two, three, four… ten. Young lady!! One is missing!”

The woman took a deep breath, kicked him fifteen feet, and cursed eloquently,

“Zhang Yihe!!! I’ll screw you. Your damn grandma is a bear!!”

“Ah… this… young lady, probably when I just killed the robber, I took out the talisman from the storage bag and accidentally took out the urn and threw it over. I will go back to look for it.”

Hiss-huh…” the woman took a deep breath and asked, “…whose ashes were lost?”

“Qiu… Senior Brother Qiu’s.”

“Then why are you still standing there? Go back and look for it!!! Don’t come back if you can’t find it!! You jinx!!”

“Yes! Yes!”

Ye Anping watched from the second floor. He felt like he was holding a breath in his heart. He couldn’t hold it back for a long time. Seeing the disciple of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect named “Zhang Yihe” running away, he closed the window and turned to look at Feng Yudie, who was drinking tea and rubbing her hands,

“Feng Yu, you have to do something tonight.”

Feng Yudie had a meal,

“Butterfly!”

“Butterfly is gone. You are a man now. Change your name.”

Feng Yudie paused, looked at Pei Lianxue, raised her eyebrows, and said,

“…Oh, what are you doing? Who just laid the ashes outside?”

“Yun Xi, I just happened to meet you. You go to the mountains at night to catch a monster beast close to the fourth level.”

Feng Yudie thought for a while, “I understand! Let the monsters attack them, and then Junior Sister Pei will make a brilliant appearance, right?”

“As long as you understand.”

“But, wouldn’t this be too rough? Wouldn’t it be too abrupt, and it would be seen?”

“No, they have been unlucky, so there is no need for such a bad thing. Rather, my junior sister’s rescue will give Yun Xi the feeling that she has finally turned a corner.”

“Oh~~”

Pei Lianxue, on the side, sang along with her senior brother, but she could not keep up with their thoughts. She curled her lips and then nodded, pretending to understand, “Oh! Okay!! I understand!”

Seeing her like this, Ye Anping came over helplessly and scratched his face,

“Do you understand?”

“Understood!”

“Really?”

Pei Lianxue hesitated for a while, remembering what her senior taught her before, asking if she didn’t understand, so she lowered her head and shook her head slightly, “No…”
