Every Day I’m Reforming My Disciple [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 15

Shi Yingying was carried into the cell and directly thrown onto the straw mat on the ground. Hearing the footsteps disappear, she immediately opened her eyes, clicked her tongue, clutched her waist, and got up.

“They don’t know how to be gentle. Just wait until this Guardian gets out. I’ll kill them all.”

Luckily, she was smart enough to pretend to faint. Otherwise, who knew how that damned girl Han Qu would have tortured her.

“Miss Shi—shǐ—are you all right?”

“How many times have I told you? It’s Shī, not shǐ!” Shi Yingying turned around furiously.

Chen Haotian could not help shrinking his head. “M-maybe I have a bit of an accent. Miss Shǐ, you—”

“Shut up! Why did that dead girl Han Qu lock me up with a stupid human idiot?!” She was simply furious.

Chen Haotian took a step forward and wanted to speak again, but Shi Yingying immediately glared at him.

He forcibly swallowed the form of address that had reached his lips and changed it. “Guardian, although Miss Chen Ju is the fox clan’s Spirit Maiden, my companions and I did not offend the fox clan. Why did she lock me up?”

Although Shi Yingying’s wounds hurt terribly, her appearance was more important to her. Both hands kept smoothing her messy hair.

“You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Go stand aside. Don’t stand in front of this Guardian. You’re an eyesore.”

Chen Haotian did not get angry either. He obediently stood to the side and said anxiously, “But my little junior sister’s life is hanging by a thread, and she’s waiting for my medicine to save her. If I stay locked up here, what will happen to her…”

Seeing him pacing anxiously in circles and constantly muttering, Shi Yingying found him rather annoying.

“If you keep making noise, believe it or not, this Guardian will kill you!”

Chen Haotian immediately froze, shut his mouth, and sat on the ground to the side, worrying silently.

Footsteps came from outside. Shi Yingying lifted her eyelids and saw the person coming. She immediately lay down and played dead.

Xue Youge glanced at the human man sitting in the corner and looking at her anxiously, then withdrew her gaze and walked up to Shi Yingying.

Seeing that the newcomer was not there for him, Chen Haotian could only continue to shut his mouth and keep silent, trying his best not to disturb her.

“Why did you poison me?” Xue Youge was more serious than she had ever been.

Shi Yingying kept her eyes tightly closed and did not move.

“If the Spirit Maiden had not returned, perhaps you would have already died at the Left Guardian’s hands.”

Shi Yingying still did not react. She decided she would play dead to the end.

Xue Youge’s feelings were somewhat complicated.

The Clan Leader had left her in Le City, given her the authority of the Clan Leader, and specifically instructed her to pay attention to the clan’s affairs. If anything happened, she had to do her best to stabilize the situation.

But who would have known?

With one careless mistake, she had fallen victim to Shi Yingying’s knockout drug and had only awakened this morning.

After asking around about what had happened in the past few days, it felt as though a massive boulder had struck her chest. She even spat out a mouthful of blood. She had failed to accomplish a single thing the Clan Leader had entrusted to her.

Seeing that Shi Yingying before her still remained unmoved, Xue Youge crouched down and said softly, “Do you want to get out?”

Shi Yingying’s eyes suddenly opened. Realizing she had exposed herself, she immediately cried out, “Aiya, this wound really hurt so badly that it made this Guardian faint.”

“Ah, isn’t this my precious Youge~? What’s wrong? Feeling sorry for this Guardian, so you came specially to care for me?”

Xue Youge did not speak.

Perhaps Shi Yingying also felt somewhat awkward, because she coughed and said, “You asked me just now whether I wanted to get out?”

Xue Youge stood up. “If you want to leave, I can take you away tonight. However…”

Shi Yingying’s eyes lit up. Hearing the second half, she immediately asked, “However what?”

“However, once you walk out of this dungeon, you will face the Left Guardian’s pursuit.”

“Th-this Guardian would be afraid of him?” Her confidence was somewhat lacking. Everyone knew that within the clan, aside from the Clan Leader, very few people could beat that lunatic Li Ren.

“Youge can delay him for half a day. Within half a day, as long as you find the Clan Leader, the Clan Leader can protect your safety.”

Shi Yingying’s eyes lit up. Seeing Xue Youge staring at her, she immediately pretended to be impatient.

“Why are all of you asking me where the Clan Leader is? The Clan Leader went out with that damned girl Han Qu. Now Han Qu returned alone, and the Clan Leader has disappeared. Everyone keeps asking me. How would I know?”

Xue Youge did not say much, only saying, “If the Clan Leader is not protecting you, then no matter where you hide, the Left Guardian will find you.”

Seeing Shi Yingying grow worried, Xue Youge truly could not understand it. Everyone knew the Left Guardian Li Ren was not to be provoked. Once provoked, he would not stop until death. Yet Shi Yingying had knowingly charged straight into danger.

“You… take this Guardian out. I have my own way.” Shi Yingying was still somewhat panicked, because even she was not certain whether she could find the Clan Leader.

That night.

Just as Xue Youge had sent people away, she saw the Left Guardian, Li Ren, standing in the courtyard with a body full of murderous aura, holding his sword.

She hesitated, then walked forward. “Youge greets the Left Guardian.”

The other party did not react.

She sighed softly. “Left Guardian, there is more than one woman in this world. You will meet someone better.”

Li Ren moved and looked at her, his gaze gloomy and resentful. “Women. Not a single good thing among them.”

She had been scolded for no reason.

Xue Youge maintained her smile as she watched the other party disappear into the night.

When she reached the dungeon, she had just helped Shi Yingying take one step out when Chen Haotian’s voice anxiously sounded from behind.

“Miss, could you take me along and let me escape too?”

Xue Youge’s steps stopped. She looked back at him. “Sorry. Youge never saves humans.”

When they left, Shi Yingying even deliberately locked the cell door. Then she leaned weakly on Xue Youge’s shoulder.

“Treasure, let’s go~”

Chen Haotian looked pitifully from inside the cell as the two left. “You really can’t take me with you? My little junior sister is still waiting for the medicine to save her life…”

After the two left, Han Qu suddenly appeared at the dungeon entrance. Behind her stood Li Ren, holding his sword.

“Follow closely. Without my order, you are not allowed to make a move,” Han Qu said.

A trace of displeasure appeared on Li Ren’s face, but he did not speak.

“This… this is Mount Li?”

The group had only ever lingered at the border of the human world and had never truly entered before. Sensing that their cultivation was being suppressed, they could not help exclaiming in amazement.

“So Mount Li really is like the rumors say. It suppresses seventy percent of the cultivation of anyone who enters.” Gan Ting looked around like a curious baby.

Han Le saw the disgust in Huang Jingling’s eyes, though the other woman concealed it well.

“Hey.” Hu Sheng suddenly shouted at Han Le. “Aren’t you going to Mount Li to gather medicine? Now that we’ve arrived at Mount Li, why aren’t you going?”

Han Le ignored him. Her gaze landed in the distance, and she immediately wrapped her black cloak tighter around herself.

“I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?” As he spoke, he stepped forward and pushed her.

Han Le was caught off guard and pushed to the ground.

“Hu Sheng, what are you doing!” Gan Ting immediately shouted.

Hu Sheng looked at his own hand. “I… I didn’t use that much strength.”

Gan Ting immediately went forward to help Han Le up.

“I… cough, cough… I’m fine.” Han Le pretended to be weak.

“Oh my, why are there so many humans in Mount Li? Are you fighting among yourselves? I thought humans were supposed to be the most united.”

Shi Yingying rested her hand on Xue Youge’s shoulder, enjoying the chaos.

“Who are you? Don’t speak nonsense!” Hu Sheng looked at the two women who had suddenly appeared ahead. Both were beautiful, but the words they said made him furious.

Huang Jingling quickly pulled Hu Sheng back. “Third Senior Brother, they aren’t human. We have to be careful.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? We of Xuanling Sect have never feared anyone!”

“Xuanling Sect? Is it very famous? Why hasn’t this Guardian heard of it?”

As she spoke, she even threw Gan Ting a flirtatious glance.

“Little beauty, is this your first time at Mount Li? Do you want this Guardian to take you around properly—ai!”

Before she could finish speaking, Xue Youge pushed her away. “If the Right Guardian’s injuries are healed, then you may move on your own.”

“Don’t be like that, my little treasure. The wounds on my body still hurt.” As she spoke, she tried to pounce toward Xue Youge, but missed.

This was Gan Ting’s first time being teased by a woman, and she actually hid behind Han Le somewhat shyly.

Han Le had not expected to run into Xue Youge and Shi Yingying as soon as she entered Mount Li. But seeing that the two of them were unharmed, she inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

“You—”

Shi Yingying suddenly pointed at her.

Alarm bells immediately rang in Han Le’s heart. Had she been recognized again?

In the end, Shi Yingying suddenly waved her sleeve shyly. “A man actually looks even prettier than a woman. How shameless~”

Han Le: “……”

Hehe. Her Right Guardian was truly interesting.

Meeting Xue Youge’s calm eyes, Han Le silently looked away.

At that moment, a sword light suddenly attacked them.
