My Master Is a Great Dragon, Clinging to Me Every Day! - Chapter 2

Ever since An Chengxi had been brought back and adopted by their master, her health had never been good.

She had coughed constantly since childhood. It was only after she had painstakingly cultivated a proper technique that her body became somewhat healthier.

They, as her senior brothers and sisters, had seen all of this with their own eyes and felt pain for her in their hearts. And now, the disciple she had personally raised was still so rebellious and unrepentant.

It truly chilled one’s heart.

At this moment, Xu Zhiyi was having a storm of thoughts in her mind.

Had the plot already progressed to the point where all the peak elders were jointly interrogating her, this vicious supporting character who had betrayed the sect?

Oh my god! Why did she have to transmigrate directly to this part?

Even if she had to transmigrate into a book, couldn’t she at least have been given better survival conditions? This environment was way too harsh.

If they wanted her little life, they might as well just say so.

How vicious. Truly vicious!

Cold sweat seeped from her forehead. Xu Zhiyi knew that this was the exact moment when the female supporting character was supposed to identify her own master as a demon, not a human.

Although she had not read the latter half of the original novel, Xu Zhiyi had read the synopsis carefully.

In the original story, the female lead’s master had only taken in two disciples. Although Xu Zhiyi’s character had always existed as a background character in the early stages, Xu Zhiyi had no idea what this female supporting character’s name actually was.

It was only occasionally mentioned when the female lead and male lead talked, saying that she had a senior sister who studied but never mastered anything, learned without true skill, and spent every day fantasizing about reaching the heavens in a single step.

Achieving the Dao and becoming an immortal.

At that time, Xu Zhiyi had even gone through the comment section and liked every comment insulting that background vicious female supporting character. She completely agreed with everyone’s personal attacks in the comment section.

What a nourishing bowl of chicken soup that had been!

But now, she was practically making men fall silent and women cry.

She wished she could slap her own thumb. Why did you have to go around liking comments for no reason? Hehe, now retribution has come, hasn’t it?

In the end, she herself had transmigrated into that vicious background female supporting character.

Damn author, why didn’t you say earlier that this supporting character had the exact same name as her?

If she had seen those three words, she definitely would have dropped the book, removed it from her bookshelf, and walked away.

She would never have madly clicked that shit-yellow button every day!

Right now, the most urgent thing was to clear her own suspicion. Xu Zhiyi absolutely did not want to go to the sect’s water dungeon.

There had been a short description of it in the original novel.

That place was underground, sunless and pitch-black. Thick iron bars made of black iron trapped people inside, and the water was full of parasites.

Things like leeches, cockroaches, and other creatures that made one’s whole body tremble.

“What this disciple wanted to say is that on that night, this disciple did indeed see a giant white snake. I was even almost injured… but thankfully, Master arrived in time.”

“This disciple is safe and unharmed.”

Her words instantly stunned everyone in the great hall. They had originally rushed to summon everyone in the sect so urgently.

Several people even had strange expressions on their faces.

Just last night, Xu Zhiyi had deliberately dragged them out of the disciples’ shared sleeping quarters.

And this was exactly what she had wanted to talk about.

Who knew why this girl suddenly changed her words this morning?

She had really screwed them over.

“What you said… is it true?”

The white-haired, youthful-faced man sitting in the sect leader’s seat asked hesitantly.

Why was this different from what he had heard from others?

Could there be some hidden grievance in all this?

“Of course it is true, Sect Leader. I was personally taught by Master and grew up on Shuanghan Peak since childhood. Why would I suspect Master?”

“Besides, that white snake might have been a spirit beast from the mountain, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon at night. I had only been too exhausted from cultivating recently and accidentally disturbed the white snake, angering the spirit beast.”

Explanation after explanation came smoothly.

The sect leader nodded repeatedly, seemingly accepting what Xu Zhiyi had said.

“Indeed. What you said makes sense.”

“Chengxi, what do you think? She is your disciple. It would be best not to wrong her.”

Seeing that the sect leader believed her words, Xu Zhiyi let out a long sigh in her heart. The warning bells that had been ringing in her head finally stopped swinging.

Now she finally would not have to go to the water dungeon, right?

Yes!

Before she even had time to secretly rejoice, she heard the master of this body say, “Since your body is tired and exhausted, then rest on Shuanghan Peak for a few days.”

“There is no need for you to attend classes elsewhere.”

“Since you have committed such a serious mistake, you naturally must face the wall for several days, write a letter of repentance, and copy several passages of sword formulas.”

The woman’s voice was cold and clear, like a desireless goddess.

Huh?

Facing the wall was fine, but there was no need for copying things and writing a repentance letter, right?

With her terrible, half-baked handwriting, if she wrote with a brush, the characters would probably all stick together!

“That is fine. Then we shall do as you say.”

“It seems today’s matter was a misunderstanding. Everyone, let it go for now. Go attend morning lessons first.”

The crowd was dismissed.

In an instant, only Xu Zhiyi and her master, who stood on the platform, were left in the great hall.

The original novel did not mention the female lead’s master very much, but her role was especially important. Because her health was not very good, the talented seedlings in the sect were unwilling to go to her peak.

They all chose their own masters.

Once someone was chosen by Lord Hanshan, it proved that they were useless material.

An Chengxi lifted her foot and slowly walked over to Xu Zhiyi. The indigo-blue robe she wore came into Xu Zhiyi’s field of vision.

“Why did you change your words?”

“Last night… that was not what you said.”

Her voice carried hesitation. An Chengxi bent down and stretched out her hand, her palm appearing before Xu Zhiyi’s eyes.

As expected, she was thin and frail, like an epiphyllum blooming in the night.

“This disciple knows her mistake… Master.”

Xu Zhiyi could only act timid and weak. Although this vicious female supporting character had not had many positive appearances in total, Xu Zhiyi could only do her best to restore the character.

Her fate was truly miserable.

In the original novel, Lord Hanshan could at least be considered the direct disciple of the previous sect leader. Therefore, under her name, there were only two inner disciples. The first was Xu Zhiyi, and the second was the female lead.

She also had several hundred nominal disciples under her.

However, those people could only occasionally see Lord Hanshan in person. Her teaching was considered careful, but the nominal disciples under her had often gossiped behind her back.

With Master’s body so weak, never mind achieving the Dao, becoming immortal, cultivating the body, and refining the mind—they were afraid she would have trouble even living past a hundred years.

Of course, those words definitely could not be said in front of Master.

Xu Zhiyi acted out her disciple’s cowardice and timidity to perfection. A trace of surprise flashed through An Chengxi’s heart.

Could it be that she truly knew she was wrong?

“Are you still not going to take my hand?”

“Zhiyi.”

“Master will not pretend that what happened today never occurred. The punishments Master stated in front of Sect Leader Senior Brother—none of them can be skipped.”

Under Master’s soft urging, Xu Zhiyi hesitantly placed her hand in hers.

It was even softer than she had imagined, and a refreshing chill spread over her skin.

Although Master looked weak and fragile, she was still very strong. With one pull, she lifted Xu Zhiyi, who had been kneeling on the ground, to her feet.

Xu Zhiyi had knelt for a bit too long, and her knees were somewhat numb. Her current cultivation was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

She staggered a few steps, but An Chengxi reacted quickly and supported her. From beginning to end, her fingers never let go.

“Yi’er, what exactly is the reason you no longer suspect me?”
