A Smile From the Villain [BL]

ASV Chapter 61

Translator: Chrysanthemum Bud

After the initial panic alleviated, Qin Kaiyi calmed down. He knew that his reaction when he saw Tang Shayun's scene was a bit extreme, but that feeling of a fox's sadness at seeing a rabbit's demise (T/N: idiom meaning to have sympathy with a like-minded person in distress) from witnessing this happen to a fellow transmigrator almost made him lose his rationality.

But after calming down, Qin Kaiyi was inevitably worried about his future. He wanted to leave Ziyang Pei, but the poisonous insect in his belly made him unable to escape Ziyang Pei's control. Furthermore, those upcoming plot events made Qin Kaiyi unable to relax. However, there were no prompts yet from the system, and Qin Kaiyi wondered if there would be any changes for the better.

The immediate priority now was naturally to improve his strength. Since that night, Qin Kaiyi had obediently not wandered around, and he instead had been squatting in his hut every day to practice. Anyway, he had already formed a core and it didn't matter whether he ate or not. And if he went out and encountered more unexpected misfortunes, saw something he shouldn't see...

Although he sympathized with Miss Tang Shayun, when he remembered that this seemingly weak girl did not hesitate to lead that team in the secret realm to their deaths within the sword array, the sympathy in his heart disappeared without a trace.

The danger level of this world was too high compared with his original world. One accident may lead to falling into a bottomless abyss. Qin Kaiyi had not yet thought to sacrifice for others, so he could only silently say sorry to Tang Shayun.

Then he began to cultivate in seclusion.

"What? Qin'er was possessed?" Qing Xuzi, who had just left seclusion, had an incredibly ugly expression. He looked at Shen Feixiao, who respectfully stood in front of him, and asked with disbelief: "Feixiao, you also saw this?"

"It's definitely true." Shen Feixiao looked at Liu Ling'er who was still crying: "Many other disciples saw this with their own eyes. Shifu, don't be too sad."

"..." Hearing this sentence, Qing Xuzi seemed to immediately age ten years. After he coughed a few times, his heart abruptly ignited with a fury whose flames dashed towards the sky. Possession was always taboo in the righteous path. If someone who had successfully possessed someone was found out, then if they confronted any righteous cultivators they would be ceaselessly pursued to be killed.

It wasn't clear what Qing Xuzi thought of when his tone suddenly cooled down: "Do you know which sect the person who possessed him is from?"

"It seems to be a Hua Lian Sect person." Shen Feixiao respectfully answered Qing Xuzi's question. (T/N: I called it Hua Lian Sect, but the words used are closer to Hua Lian Religion/Hua Lian Cult.)

"Hua Lian Cult?" This demonic cult's reputation spread far and wide in the realm of cultivation because of their venomous insects and talismans. Although Qing Xuzi and them had never been in contact, he knew that even if he was at the peak of his anger, he could not put the whole sect in danger. He took a long breath and tried to suppress the boiling anger and unspeakable sorrow in his heart, before turning to speak to Shen Feixiao: "Feixiao, I heard that you formed your core?"

"Yes." Looking at Qing Xuzi's expression of vehemently suppressed anger, Shen Feixiao watched while a flash of understanding passed within his eyes.

"Although your talents are superior, you can't be greedy and rush in. The most important thing for cultivation is the foundation. If the speed in the early stages is too fast, it will be difficult to enter into the later stages." To a certain extent, Qing Xuzi really was a good person. He was rarely selfish with his disciples, and he always tried his best to see them progress.
