Chapter 80
Li Yuechan’s eyes sparkled with the bright light of gossip.
She stared at her brother, curious and expectant, probing for an answer.
Li Muyang glanced at her sideways, still composed.
“I truly have no interest in her anymore.”
“But this hot-and-cold behavior… How did that come up?”
“I’ve always been like this towards Ning Wan’er. I’ve never been ‘hot’?”
Seeing her brother’s response, Li Yuechan sighed.
“I thought you suddenly wanted to pursue Sister Ning again, so you were making excuses for me to get close to her… I didn’t expect you were actually just curious about a legend from thousands of years ago?”
Li Yuechan, carrying her leftover plate, shook her head and walked away.
“A myth from thousands of years ago, why be so curious…”“I don’t get it…”
The girl couldn’t understand and shook her head in dismay.
Interested in a myth from thousands of years ago, yet indifferent to a beautiful girl like Sister Ning.
Could it be that brother has lost interest in women…
Li Yuechan suddenly became worried.
She had heard that some men just aren’t interested in women, instead preferring men or even more peculiar things.
Her brother, in the prime of his youth, didn’t like beautiful girls and could remain unmoved even by a great beauty like Sister Ning.
Living in a place like the Outer Sect, which lacked entertainment, he never visited brothels…
He wasn’t like this before.
Now he had become such a gentleman, not even glancing at Sister Ning, so refined and courteous… it’s really weird.
If brother really had lost interest in women and started liking some peculiar things, or even men…
Hiss…
Li Yuechan suddenly gasped.
Because she thought of someone.
Guan Xiaoshun, the boy from a small town on the frontier!
Her brother showed no interest in beautiful women, was never curious about the brothels of the Outer Sect, and didn’t care to interact with other people of the Outer Sect. ?
Yet, he took a particular liking to Guan Xiaoshun!
The two of them were very close!
During this mission outside, brother would either hide and disappear or stick with Guan Xiaoshun, not speaking to anyone else.
This…
Li Yuechan suddenly panicked.
Could my brother actually like men?
……
In the dining hall, watching his little sister’s departing figure, Li Muyang smiled helplessly.
His little sister was right.
A legend from thousands of years ago, why care so much?
In theory, it really had nothing to do with him, but…
“Could Nanjiang City really be the current Demon Sword City?”
Li Muyang felt somewhat uneasy.
The last time, “Three Kingdoms: Demon Subduing Record” proved that this system could interfere with reality, and the fairy he met in the game appeared in real life.
Now there was an even more big discovery.
— The game content given by this system was a legend from thousands of years ago!
Could this system also have the ability to travel through time?
After his little sister left, Li Muyang quickly finished the rice in his bowl and also left with his plate.
He swiftly moved away from the crowd and returned to that secluded corner at the end of the flying boat, entering the game once again.
Now Li Muyang was very curious whether the “Legend of Sword and Fairy” he entered was indeed Demon Sword City.
If it really was Demon Sword City, then were his experiences in “Legend of Sword and Fairy” a return to the past of thousands of years ago?
Or was it a virtual world simulated by the system?
This is very important!
If it was time travel, then his actions in Nanjiang City thousands of years ago could potentially affect the present thousands of years later.
Hmm… I need to figure out a way to experiment!
Li Muyang closed his eyes and started the game.
As he entered the game interface again, the streets of Nanjiang City appeared before him.
Jiang Xiaoyu, who had sobered up from the alcohol, walked through Nanjiang City, following the task prompt to find the mysterious Fairy Yu’s friend, the Shape-shifter Master.
However, as he passed by a tavern, a scent of wine wafted out.
?Jiang Xiaoyu: What delicious wine. I want to drink!?
The guy actually stopped in his tracks, with an arrow appearing above his head, pointing towards the roadside tavern.
Clearly, he wanted to go in for a drink.
Li Muyang stared speechlessly at Jiang Xiaoyu in the game and made him walk away.
–This guy is a good-for-nothing drunkard.
In the game, Jiang Xiaoyu wiped his mouth and continued walking.
?Jiang Xiaoyu: Forget it, I’ll go find the Shape-shifter Master first. Important matters come first, I’ll take my time drinking later?
However, after taking a few steps, Jiang Xiaoyu stopped again.
Because there was another tavern by the road, with an enticing aroma of wine.
?Jiang Xiaoyu: It really smells amazing! This fragrant liquor in Nanjiang City knows just how to tempt me!?
Above Jiang Xiaoyu’s head, an arrow symbol appeared once more.
Without a word, Li Muyang took control and led him forward.
The road was lined with taverns, and Jiang Xiaoyu kept looking back with each step, seemingly reluctant to leave and as if he wished he could dash into one and drink to his heart’s content.
However, under Li Muyang’s control, he could only walk past the entire street, leaving all the taverns behind.
Eventually, they arrived at the residence indicated by the quest log.
It was an inconspicuous little courtyard in the city.
After pushing the door open, Li Muyang saw the NPC with the ?Shape-shifter Master? health bar above his head.
This was an ordinary middle-aged man who looked like a scholarly teacher and exuded an air of elegance.
Jiang Xiaoyu appeared, took out Luo Feng’s jade pendant to identify himself, and then inquired about the whereabouts of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.
The Shape-shifter Master held Luo Feng’s jade pendant and gazed into the distance.
He seemed to be pondering something, and after a long while, he sighed.
?Shape-shifter Master: The chaos within the city is becoming apparent. Nanjiang City will be a place of strife, and often, once the flames of conflict are ignited, they cannot be extinguished.?
?Shape-shifter Master: Finding the Startling Swan Immortal Sword now will not stop the unrest.?
?Shape-shifter Master: The true strength has never been in the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, but in Fairy Yu…?
The Shape-shifter Master sighed softly, his eyes filled with complexity.
He returned the jade pendant to Jiang Xiaoyu.
?Shape-shifter Master: Please relay to Luo Feng that he needn’t trouble himself searching for the immortal sword anymore. Stabilizing the situation and preventing his half-demon forces from getting involved in the chaos is what’s most important now.?
?Shape-shifter Master: The immortal sword has never been the elixir for governing Nanjiang City.?
The Shape-shifter Master declined Jiang Xiaoyu’s request and was unwilling to provide further guidance.
Li Muyang had no choice but to control Jiang Xiaoyu to leave and find the half-demon general Luo Feng in the city.
At that moment, Luo Feng was in a mansion in the city, gathering his half-demon subordinates.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaoyu’s arrival and hearing his message, the half-demon general fell silent for a while.
?Luo Feng: …The Shape-shifter Master refused to give directions??
?Luo Feng: If that’s the case, there’s only one thing to do.?
?Jiang Xiaoyu: What’s that??
?Luo Feng: I’ll send two of my trusted aides with you to see the Shape-shifter Master, and together you’ll behead him.?
?Luo Feng: Behead the Shape-shifter Master and use dark magic to interrogate his soul. He’ll talk whether he wants to or not!?
The half-demon general’s tone was fierce and commanding.
Li Muyang was somewhat surprised.
–This half-demon young general is ruthless!
He seemed so agreeable before. I thought he was a friendly person.
But now, he talks of beheading as if it’s nothing.
In this moment, the half-demon general seemed even more terrifying to him than those demons and monsters plotting murder and chaos.
