Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 526: No Questions Asked, Absolute Obedience!

Nangong Xiu glanced at the hand he had grabbed, feeling slightly uncomfortable, and subtly withdrew it.

She smiled charmingly. “You’ve got some backbone, kid, but you’re also a bit overconfident.”

Lin Fengmian looked up and down at her and said arrogantly, “Who’s overconfident? Just you wait, Auntie!”

Nangong Xiu chuckled and stood up straight. “Alright, I’ll wait!”

“Alright, I’ll go back to get some sleep and prepare for tomorrow’s selection.”

Just as Lin Fengmian was about to leave, Nangong Xiu called out, “Wait a moment.”

Lin Fengmian looked at her in confusion. Nangong Xiu threw him a fragment of a scroll and a jade slip.

“This is a fragment of the Karmic Flame Overlay Technique and some of my personal insights. Take it and study it, but remember, don’t share it with anyone.”

“Its effect is similar to the secret art of Burning Blood, but the damage is minimal. As long as you don’t use it for too long, it won’t harm your foundation.”

“This is pretty much my trump card.”

Nangong Xiu wasn’t sure why she was doing this, even handing over her unique technique to him.

Maybe it was for her sister’s sake, or maybe it was because of the sudden display of backbone from this kid. Either way, she felt like she was losing out.

Lin Fengmian’s eyes lit up. A harmless version of the secret art of Burning Blood? People would kill for it!

“Auntie, are you really giving this to me?”

Nangong Xiu waved her hand dismissively. “I haven’t changed my mind… yet.”

Lin Fengmian laughed. “I won’t let you down, Auntie. I’ll definitely hang you up and give you a beating!”

Looking at Lin Fengmian’s smug face, Nangong Xiu felt like she must have been out of her mind to teach him this technique.

She put down the Nether Moon Ten Thousand Demons Pagoda, activated the self-destruction formation, and destroyed the cave dwelling before flying back with Lin Fengmian.

After they left, a shadowy figure sneaked into the ruins.

He cleared away the debris and felt the residual energy and became excited.

“A spirit gathering formation and a demon subduing pagoda! Hehehe, I’ve stumbled upon a great mystery!”

“Nangong Xiu, leaking test questions? You’re done for this time.”

Inside the mysterious cave dwelling, the old man stood quietly. Soon, a graceful figure appeared in the teleportation formation.

The newcomer had a fiery figure, wearing a short purple dress with long hair cascading down to her calves. It was You Yao.

Ever since Nangong Xiu had arrived and taken over Lin Fengmian’s protection, You Yao had been much less busy.

She had been spending most of her time secretly meeting with Chen Qingyan, teaching her some of the basics.

But today, she had suddenly been summoned by the old man and was standing there puzzled.

“May I ask why you’ve summoned me here, Your Excellency?”

The old man looked at You Yao with deep, unfathomable eyes and asked hoarsely, “You Yao, I have treated you well over the years, haven’t I?”

You Yao replied firmly, “Your Excellency has been very kind to me. Without you, I would have died long ago.”

The old man smiled faintly, a hint of nostalgia in his expression.

“In the blink of an eye, you’ve gone from a babbling child to a Unity Realm cultivator, while I’m still stuck at the Void Realm.”

You Yao comforted him, “Your Excellency, don’t worry. As soon as a Saint position becomes available, you’ll surely claim it with your strength.”

The old man sighed deeply. “You Yao, I’m going into seclusion for a while. From now on, you’ll follow that boy, Wuxie.”

You Yao looked at him in shock, unable to believe what she was hearing. “You want me to follow him permanently?”

The old man nodded. “From now on, you’ll obey his commands. His words are my words!”

You Yao hesitated for a moment before asking, “To what extent should I obey?”

“Without question, absolute obedience! His life is more important than yours!” the old man said seriously.

You Yao hesitated again, then asked, “What if… he takes an interest in me? Should I still obey…?”

The old man chuckled strangely. “Don’t worry, he won’t do anything to you.”

You Yao pressed further, “But what if he does?”

The old man smiled meaningfully. “If he really wants you to share his bed, then you’ll agree.”

Speechless, You Yao stared at the man who had been like a father to her.

You’re treating him better than his own father! Is this what is called grandparent favoritism? Are you now arranging his marriage?

But under the old man’s gaze, she nodded reluctantly. “Understood.”

The old man smiled in satisfaction and waved his hand. “Good, you may leave.”

You Yao bowed and turned to leave, her steps heavy, feeling as if her future was shrouded in darkness.

I used to look down on Shangguan Qiong, but now I’m about to follow in her footsteps?

At first, I despised Shangguan Qiong. Then, I understood her. And now, I’m becoming her?

Am I skipping the middle step altogether?

The old man watched her retreating figure with a meaningful smile on his face.

He couldn’t very well tell You Yao that he was planning to possess Lin Fengmian’s body, could he?

He didn’t trust anyone, not even the loyal You Yao.

Moreover, he was worried that if You Yao fell into Jun Yunshang’s hands, his identity would be exposed.

This was something that only he could know!

But after the possession, he would be in a weakened state for a long time, which was why he had given You Yao such instructions.

Interested in her?

If only it were that simple. But I’ve lost all interest in women a long time ago.

Women only slow down the speed at which I draw my sword!

Meanwhile, Lin Fengmian had just returned to his residence when he felt a slight tremor in the reincarnation mark in his consciousness.

Although he wasn’t sure what was going on, he sensed that it had something to do with the old man.

Is he summoning me?

Adopting a “better safe than sorry” approach, Lin Fengmian immediately headed to his study.

If I’m wrong, I’ll just make up an excuse.

His calmness was not only because he knew how to break the seal, but also because he had confirmed the old man’s identity.

During their previous meeting, Luo Xue had not only given him the method to undo the reincarnation mark, but also told him how to activate the Samsara Seal.

The Samsara Seal he had placed on Jun Chengye a thousand years ago wasn’t so easy to remove.

It was like a bone-deep parasite-once triggered, it would reform, especially if the caster awakened it personally.

After returning, Lin Fengmian had immediately confirmed that the old man carried the aura of the Samsara Seal, thus confirming his identity.

That old ghost is indeed Jun Chengye!

Knowing your enemy is half the battle. Lin Fengmian had a foolproof plan!

Not only would he prevent Jun Chengye from possessing him, but he would also make sure that this old fraud’s fake death became real!

When Lin Fengmian stepped out of the teleportation formation, he saw Jun Chengye waiting for him and felt a surge of relief.

Looking at the aged Jun Chengye, Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but sigh. Time is truly a butcher’s knife.

A thousand years ago, Jun Chengye was a dashing figure who charmed countless fairies. Now, he’s almost bald.

What about Yunshang?

Has she also turned gray with age?

After all, the portrait of the Hundred Beauties I saw was probably an outdated version.

Jun Chengye, unaware of Lin Fengmian’s wandering thoughts, gravely said, “Wuxie, the selection is tomorrow. Are you confident?”

Lin Fengmian replied seriously, “I can’t guarantee anything, but I’ll give it my all!”

Jun Chengye’s lips curled into a faint smile as he turned around and walked toward the pool of blood.

“Come here. I’ll help you break through to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Lin Fengmian’s heart skipped a beat. This old ghost is making his move.

He calmly removed his clothes and, as usual, jumped into the blood pool.
