Every Day I’m Reforming My Disciple [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 9

Even the occasional wind carried the scorching heat of the blazing sun.

The woman carried a pile of dirty clothes out of the house and coldly threw them into the basin. A small, thin hand picked off the piece of clothing that had fallen onto her head, and shallow dimples appeared.

“Mother, rest. Lili will finish washing them soon.”

The woman showed a look of disgust, then turned and walked back into the house. She sat on a long bench and indifferently began picking vegetables.

In the wooden basin, the dirty clothes rose above the water. Lili got up and ran to the well. With one foot on the ground and the other pushing off, she finally managed to draw up half a bucket of water.

She gritted her teeth and carried it with both hands. Suddenly, three or four children ran over and pushed her down directly.

“Wild fox! Wild fox! Lili is a wild fox!”

The water in the wooden bucket spilled all over the ground. Lili fell to the ground, soaked from head to toe. The children surrounding her were still laughing at her.

With tears in her eyes, she looked toward the house. The woman looked at her, completely unconcerned, and continued picking vegetables as if the child outside was not hers at all.

Her tiny hands pressed against the wet ground. The children around her blocked the sunlight before her.

Her head hung so low it was almost parallel to the ground. Darkness slowly crawled over her body. The repeated cries of “wild fox” gradually disappeared from her ears. Her eyes were slowly swallowed by darkness.

A cold, clear voice suddenly appeared above her head.

“Little fox.”

Lili immediately raised her head. Sunlight instantly filled her pupils.

“Senior! Sister Ju!”

Han Le turned around and tilted her head. “It’s time to go.”

Cute dimples appeared on both sides of the little fox’s mouth, and she ran toward Han Le’s back.

Mount Li.

The place where the demon realm and human realm intersected.

Treasures easily appeared here, attracting the covetous gazes of countless people.

Whether human or demon, once they reached this place, seventy percent of their cultivation would be suppressed.

Han Le stood beneath a tree on the mountain peak, watching the three people below repeatedly circle in place.

Han Qu had found a good spot in the tree and was lying there leisurely, not worried in the slightest about being discovered by the people below.

This time, Han Le had not brought Xue Youge to Mount Li.

In the original novel, Xue Youge had come together with the female lead. Halfway through, they encountered the male lead and the others, and the original owner designed a situation that caused them to become separated.

The original owner left the female lead alone with herself to retrieve the sword and then stabbed her. After discovering that the female lead had not died, she used sweet words to continue hiding her true nature.

At that time, the female lead had not believed that the master who loved her most would stab her. Now that she had been reborn, she should know that the original owner had begun using her from this point onward.

Wait. If the original owner had known from the very beginning that Liyuan Hong could only be obtained by the female lead, then had she been calculating against her from the start?

So the kindness she had shown the female lead before was actually all fake?

Han Le suddenly gained a new understanding of the parts of the plot she had originally found confusing.

Unless the original owner’s motives had been impure from the very start, how could she possibly attack the disciple she had spoiled since childhood just because of a man?

“Senior, Sister Ju, Lili picked lots of fresh fruit for you.”

The little fox ran over, holding many fruits in the fold of her clothes.

Han Le took one and threw it to the female lead above.

“Why haven’t they walked out yet? They’re so stupid.” The little fox stuck her head out and looked at the three people below.

They were indeed pretty stupid.

Han Le thought of what happened in Le City during the period when the female lead and the original owner went to Mount Li in the original novel.

She had left Xue Youge there because she wanted to see whether the other woman could prevent things from becoming so… absurd.

Yes. Absurd.

After the original owner and the Spirit Maiden left, the Third Elder provoked the Left Guardian, Li Ren, while the Right Guardian, Shi Yingying, stirred things up from the side. In the end, Li Ren accidentally stabbed the Third Elder to death.

Shi Yingying pretended to be a good person and told Li Ren to go hide outside for a while to avoid the other elders causing him trouble. Li Ren also found it annoying, so he listened to Shi Yingying and went out to hide, but he was still seriously injured by several elders.

When a person was in desperate circumstances, it was easy to meet true love.

Li Ren was rescued by a female doctor, and the two fell in love.

Then something absurd happened.

The female doctor was one of Shi Yingying’s people, and all of this was part of Shi Yingying’s plan. She simply wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

She wanted to know whether someone as cold and heartless as Li Ren had a heart.

After Li Ren discovered the truth, in a fit of rage, he not only killed the female doctor, but also stabbed Shi Yingying to death while she was drinking and chatting with someone.

When the original owner found out, she flew into a rage. However, she truly could not bear to discard a sharp blade like Li Ren. On top of that, Le City had already lost one elder and one guardian, so it could not afford to lose another expert. Thus, she merely punished him severely.

Li Ren continued serving as her Left Guardian.

All in all, this was entirely Shi Yingying’s fault. Her death was deserved.

However, since Han Le knew all of this would happen, she wanted to try and see whether she could prevent it.

First, she wanted to know whether the original plot could be drastically changed. Second, these people were all her subordinates. Even if they had to die, she hoped they would die blocking death for her.

A fruit was thrown down from the tree and happened to hit the head of one of the people circling below.

Han Le looked up at the female lead in the tree. The other woman smiled at her.

“Master, we should go down.”

The man below raised his head. Han Le looked at his face. “Mm.”

“Chen Haotian, do you even know how to lead the way? Damn it, why do I feel like we’ve been walking in circles this whole time?”

Chen Haotian withdrew his gaze and coughed. “Aotian, don’t be impatient. Listen to me slowly—”

“I’m begging you, stop talking.” Shi Jian, who was standing at the side, could not take it anymore.

They were surrounded by stone walls, trapped in a maze, constantly walking in place. As soon as they touched the stone walls beside them, the walls would immediately rise higher, making it impossible even to climb up and look for an exit.

Jiang Aotian angrily plopped down on the ground. “Your Uncle Aotian isn’t walking anymore. Do whatever you want.”

Chen Haotian became anxious. “Aotian, you have to trust me. If we walk another two rounds, I’ll definitely be able to lead you out.”

Jiang Aotian ignored him, so Chen Haotian went to talk to Shi Jian instead.

“How about this? Why don’t you walk around by yourself first? After you get out, find a tree branch and hang a strip of white cloth on it. We’ll follow the white cloth.”

Chen Haotian thought about it carefully. “Brother Jian, what you said makes sense.”

So the two of them sat in place and waited for Chen Haotian.

“This way. No, that’s not right. It should be this way.”

Facing two paths, Chen Haotian hesitated.

At that moment, two figures passed by him. No, to be precise, there were three people. There was also a child. Chen Haotian rubbed his eyes and confirmed that the child had a pair of fox ears and a tail.

Could they be fox clan members?

Seeing them walk toward the passage on the left, Chen Haotian called out, “Ladies, I think the passage on the right should be the correct one.”

Han Le glanced sideways at him. The little fox had never interacted with humans before, so she hid timidly beside Han Le, poked out her head, and stuck out her tongue.

“Silly big brother, come with us.”

Who knew Chen Haotian would hurriedly wave his hands? “No, no, no. I still think it should be the passage on the right.”

Han Qu did not look back from beginning to end, but her eyes were full of disgust. She spat out two words.

“Idiot.”

All right. Han Le roughly knew the identities of these three people now.

The person beside them must be the famous male lead, Chen Haotian.

After they walked into one of the passages, Han Le could not help looking back. She saw that he really had walked off in the other direction.

The corner of her lips could not help curving slightly. He was actually quite funny.

This scene just happened to fall into Han Qu’s eyes.

Was it love at first sight again?

A wave of disappointment unexpectedly rose in her.

Han Qu could not help quickening her steps.

Had she gone mad?

Jiang Aotian and Shi Jian sat on the ground bragging to each other. Unsurprisingly, Chen Haotian soon appeared before them again, scratching his head.

After leaving the maze, they arrived at a cliff. There was only one narrow bridge, and a black demonic beast was lying asleep in the middle of it.

Seventy percent of their spiritual power had been suppressed. Clearly, violently dealing with this demonic beast was impossible.

Han Le looked at the place across the bridge. Even with only a bridge separating them, she could feel the abundant immortal energy on the other side.

It was the aura of treasure.

When she raised her head again, she saw a misty mountain peak amid the drifting clouds. That was where Liyuan Hong was located.

“Master, what should we do?” Han Qu asked with the corner of her lips lifted.

Han Le did not know what to do either, because in the original novel, there had been no such bridge at all, let alone the demonic beast on it.

“Ah, that human big brother made it out!” the little fox said, pointing behind them.

“……”

Chen Haotian was riding on Jiang Aotian’s neck and chattering nonstop. When he saw them, he was just about to wave happily when Jiang Aotian grabbed him with one hand and threw him to the ground.

“Tch.” Han Qu turned to Han Le and said, “Master, we shouldn’t stay with people whose brains aren’t normal.”
