Villainous Undercover (10)
“In fact, Yu Rudie is also a pitiful person. She is a child left behind by her father’s fleeting affair outside, her mother was just an ordinary female doctor in Medical Valley. Originally, Yu Rudie had always lived with her mother in Medical Valley. Who could have thought that her father would pass on all his evil skills to her on his deathbed?”
“Yu Rudie’s father was the leader of the Demon Sect, originally had more than a dozen children, some were killed by him, some killed each other, in short, by the end all died. The people of the Demon Sect used some unknown method to find Yu Rudie and bring her before her father. On his deathbed, her father forcibly gave all his power to her. Yu Rudie never thought she would change overnight from an ordinary female doctor to a demonically evil woman that everyone wanted to kill…”
“The people of the Demon Sect only recognize the evil skill ‘Immortal Destruction Technique’ as supreme. They only need the title of ‘Number One Under Heaven’. Since Yu Rudie inherited Immortal Destruction Technique, even if Yu Rudie was unwilling, the elders had ways. They used Yu Rudie’s mother to coerce Yu Rudie into becoming the sect leader—”
“Changing from a doctor who cures diseases and saves people to a demon that everyone wants to beat, Yu Rudie must have felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. Looking back now, during those years when Yu Rudie was the sect leader, it was indeed the years when the Demon Sect did the least evil. Unfortunately, good times don’t last long. The drawbacks of Yu Rudie practicing Immortal Destruction Technique gradually appeared. She either had to find someone to transfer the chaotic true qi to, or pass it to her only remaining mother in the world… Yu Rudie naturally couldn’t lay hands on her loved one, so she abducted the current Taiji Sect leader, Lu Dun…”
“Anyway, later, something unknown happened, Lu Dun escaped from the Demon Sect, and there was no more news of Yu Rudie. It’s said that the Demon Sect has a new leader, probably Yu Rudie has met with more misfortune than fortune. No one knows who the new leader is, only that in recent years under the new leader’s command, the Demon Sect has been committing all kinds of evil, becoming more and more brutal and reckless…”
Immediately after, Li Xuan told a few more stories of ‘Number One Under Heaven’ from the distant past. As the stories finished, the rain outside gradually stopped, and the village resounded with continuous firecrackers. The new year had arrived!
Everyone exchanged “Happy New Year!” greetings. Li Xuan brought out candies from the house and distributed them to the children. The children, after receiving the candies, didn’t leave. They insisted that Li Xuan perform a sword display for them to watch.
Li Xuan had very good relationships with the people in the village. During leisure time, he often taught children self-defense skills, and the children all liked him very much.
Li Xuan shook his head with a smile, but his gaze fell on Fu Xiyu standing nearby: Fu Xiyu had woken up at some unknown time and was standing to the side watching the laughing and playing children.
Fu Xiyu’s entire person seemed to inherently possess a quality of cold loneliness, appearing to be among the crowd, yet seemingly forever isolated from the clamor.
Li Xuan smiled and said: “You all watch this old man practice sword every day, I’m sure you’ve long been bored. How about this! Today, Xiaofu and Song Xu will exchange a few moves, let these little monkeys open their eyes.”
Fu Xiyu seemed at first not to realize that the ‘Xiaofu’ in Li Xuan’s mouth was referring to her. She was stunned for a moment, but after realizing, she didn’t act shy. With her sword on her back, she went to the center of the yard and made a “please” gesture towards Song Xu.
Song Xu also drew his sword.
The two were just playing around, not using their real skills. At first, they were just performing some showy but impractical moves. The children watched with continuous exclamations, clapping their hands until they turned red!
Song Xu, a young boy, handsome and delicate; Fu Xiyu with a cold expression, even though her face was scarred, her demeanor was outstanding…
Li Xuan, watching the pair of man and woman in the yard, unconsciously revealed a smile, and leaned close to Song Xuyi’s ear, speaking softly: “Xiaoxuyi, what do you think of the two of them?”
“What do you mean, what do I think?” Song Xuyi looked completely puzzled.
“About Xiaofu becoming your sister-in-law! Changing from a close senior martial sister to a close sister-in-law isn’t bad—” Li Xuan lowered his voice even more.
Sister-in-law?
After hearing clearly, Song Xuyi was startled, almost choking on her saliva—Song Xuyi wouldn’t dare to think like this even in her dreams!
It should be known that in the original plot outline, Song Xu actually died at the hands of Fu Xiyu…
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
“You, ah you…” Li Xuan, looking at Song Xuyi’s appearance, had a “you’re still young, you don’t understand” expression on his face, and then put on a subtle smile, turning his head to look at the man and woman in the field.
At this time, Song Xu and Fu Xiyu, seeing that the time was about right, began to get serious. Song Xu had a serious look on his face. Although Fu Xiyu’s facial expression couldn’t be discerned, Song Xuyi knew that Fu Xiyu was still holding back, because her state looked not much different from when she was instructing Song Xuyi.
Song Xu still lost.
Real fighting has no fancy moves, it often happens in an instant.
When Song Xu realized it, the sharp tip of the sword was already pressed against his neck.
The children around didn’t know how everything happened, but that didn’t stop them from making a fuss. The children spontaneously started applauding together, shouting: “Big sister is so amazing…”
When meeting Fu Xiyu’s gaze, Song Xuyi finally woke from the shock given by Li Xuan, and followed by curving her lips and applauding: “Senior martial sister is really amazing!”
Fu Xiyu looked at Song Xuyi carefully, and seeing that Song Xuyi wasn’t dejected because she had defeated Song Xuyi’s brother, she finally lowered her sword, revealing a barely noticeable smile at the corner of her lips.
“I am sincerely convinced!” Song Xu wasn’t discouraged by his defeat either, after all, he had been practicing martial arts for a short time. With a face full of admiration, he cupped his hands towards Fu Xiyu: “Thank you, Senior martial sister Fu, for your instruction, and also thank you for taking care of Xuyi during this time…”
Fu Xiyu returned the courtesy, and by this time the surrounding children had swarmed over, pestering Fu Xiyu, who had won against Song Xu, to teach them martial arts. Fu Xiyu’s expression clearly showed a moment of bewilderment, after all, the younger generation in Taiji Sect feared Senior Sister Fu the most, they would take a detour when seeing Fu Xiyu, the children in Taiji Sect simply didn’t dare to have such courage.
Song Xuyi was also stunned for a moment.
Others might not be clear, but Song Xuyi knew Fu Xiyu’s demeanor within the sect. If Fu Xiyu were to really start teaching, these children would probably cry…
It’s the New Year, if these children start crying, it would probably be difficult to settle.
Song Xuyi felt her scalp tingle just thinking about that scene. Having no choice, she could only step forward herself: “Senior Sister is tired, let me teach you all!”
Song Xuyi had the children line up in order and began teaching them some basic steps and moves…
Song Xuyi’s current body was likeable in appearance, and for the New Year, she appropriately wore a new padded jacket. Her stern face while instructing people looked particularly adorable.
Li Xuan, watching from the side, couldn’t help but smile. He then glanced at Fu Xiyu and Song Xu, who had started chatting at some unknown time. His mouth almost split to his ears as he said, “Ah, I’ve drunk too much, I’ll go to sleep first. I can only trouble you to look after these children a bit more—” after which he returned to his room.
The two chatting people didn’t notice his intention and continued their conversation—
“Xuyi learns better than me, her brother. How fortunate am I to have such a sensible and ambitious sister!” Song Xu, looking at Song Xuyi’s manner, recalled the experiences of this past year and couldn’t help but sigh: “After hearing the news of our parents’ death, I was depressed and extremely scared. It was Xuyi who helped me get through it…”
After Song Xu had thoroughly praised Song Xuyi, when it came to matters related to Song Xuyi, Fu Xiyu would also say a few more words, nodding involuntarily: “Xuyi is kind-hearted by nature, has a resilient character, is intelligent and ambitious…”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Song Xu’s eyes lit up, feeling he had met a kindred spirit, and continued: “You don’t know, my sister, she…”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
The two unknowingly transformed into Song Xuyi’s “praise team,” extolling Song Xuyi’s various merits. Song Xu even mentioned the incident when Song Xuyi was younger and didn’t cry when she lost a baby tooth, believing his sister was resilient from a young age, different from ordinary people…
Yet neither of them felt there was anything wrong with this.
When Song Xuyi finished teaching the children and turned around, she saw that both Song Xu and Fu Xiyu were looking at her with extremely strange gazes…
“What happened?” Song Xuyi, not understanding, quietly asked the system in her mind.
The system’s voice also sounded a bit strange, as if strongly suppressing laughter: “They’re praising you!”
The system repeated their words in detail.
Song Xuyi, listening to those exaggerated compliments, couldn’t believe these were words that the cool guy and the villain from the original plot outline would say. She couldn’t listen to more than a few sentences before her face turned red with embarrassment…
Song Xuyi had a three-day holiday, but Fu Xiyu was busy with countless affairs, and taking out one day was already stealing time from her busy schedule.
Mountain gate.
Li Xuan smiled and invited her to stay: “Miss Fu, please come by more often when you have time, don’t feel restrained about anything, just treat this as your home. In the future, it would be best if you come every year for New Year…”
As soon as Song Xuyi heard Li Xuan’s words, she knew that Li Xuan’s heart to matchmake Song Xu and Fu Xiyu was not dead. Unable to look at Li Xuan’s smile at this moment, she frowned and turned her eyes away. Fu Xiyu caught a glimpse of Song Xuyi’s expression, it was the first time she had seen such an adult-like helpless expression on Song Xuyi’s face. A trace of amusement rippled in her eyes, she nodded and softly made an “mm” sound.
After returning to the mountain gate, Fu Xiyu once again became that taciturn, extremely busy senior sister. She had always been cold-faced, just and upright, not given to flattery or laughter. Song Xuyi once even heard disciples discussing privately: saying that Fu Xiyu seemed to be a person made of glass without the seven emotions and six desires, only showing a hint of true feeling when facing Song Xuyi…
And Song Xuyi also felt Fu Xiyu’s favoritism towards herself. Perhaps it was because Fu Xiyu spent every New Year with her family, brainwashed by Li Xuan, feeling that Fu Xiyu was her ‘family member’; or perhaps it was sympathy for this pitiful person who would ‘fall ill’ every winter and had to go to the Medical Valley; or perhaps it was because she had never seen any signs of Fu Xiyu contacting the Demon Sect…
Song Xuyi gradually lowered her guard towards Fu Xiyu. Although she still called her “Senior Sister” verbally, in her heart, Song Xuyi gradually began to treat Fu Xiyu like a younger sister. She would occasionally make some modern snacks for Fu Xiyu to taste, think of buying pretty clothes and jewelry for Fu Xiyu when she saw them, and would share half of the things Song Xu sent her with Fu Xiyu…
And whatever Song Xuyi did, Fu Xiyu would often return the favor twofold: After eating Song Xuyi’s snacks a few times, Fu Xiyu began to cook for Song Xuyi. Only then did Song Xuyi understand that Fu Xiyu had culinary skills no worse than the back kitchen, and that her hiring Song Xuyi to make snacks was just an excuse she found to help Song Xuyi financially; Every time Fu Xiyu went down the mountain on business, she would bring many clothes and jewelry for Song Xuyi; She seemed to have given all her patience to Song Xuyi, tirelessly teaching Song Xuyi medical skills and martial arts; Even when Song Xuyi had her period, it was Fu Xiyu who carefully taught Song Xuyi how to use this world’s menstrual pads…
And time flows day and night without cease, ten years flashed by in an instant, and Song Xuyi suddenly turned sixteen.
During these ten years, Song Xuyi had been cultivating both medicine and martial arts. In a change from her previous low profile, Song Xuyi strived to make a name for herself, after all, her current enemy was the deeply disguised leader of the world’s number one sect, and having fame would give her some say: Song Xuyi had high aptitude and was diligent in her work, she was generous and kind when at Medical Valley, even helping to treat poor people who couldn’t afford medical care. Over time, Song Xuyi also gained some reputation in the jianghu, and like her original self, was seen as the next successor of Medical Valley.
However, Song Xuyi understood that this reputation was just rumors from outsiders. The true successor that Valley Master Song had in mind was still Fu Xiyu, but for some unknown reason, Fu Xiyu was unwilling to inherit Medical Valley no matter what, and every time this topic was brought up, they would part on bad terms.
Taiji Sect has a rule that disciples can go down the mountain to travel when they reach sixteen years old. In the original story plot outline, the female protagonist Gong Huan met Song Xu when she went down the mountain at sixteen, and in the letter Song Xu sent to Song Xuyi, he also wrote that he had now met a good brother surnamed Gong. Song Xu praised Brother Gong extensively in the letter, saying that Brother Gong was good-looking and had a good temperament, and said he wanted to bring him back to introduce to Song Xuyi…
Song Xu seemed to have encountered some trouble with Gong Huan, and wrote to Song Xuyi asking her to wait for him for two more months, saying that after he returns, the three of them can travel together.
At this time, something happened in Taiji Sect. It wasn’t a big deal for the entire martial arts world, but for Song Xuyi, who had been keeping a close eye on Lu Dun, it was an extremely ominous sign – Song Xuyi’s third senior brother, who had gone down the mountain for experience, died.
And what was extremely strange was that during the two days of the third senior brother’s death, Lu Dun was also not in Taiji Sect.
The author has something to say:
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Song Xu: I want to matchmake my sister and Brother Gong!
Song Xuyi ╮(︶﹏︶)╭: Brother, you’ve been cuckolded!
Today is a day full of malice towards me. —
I roughly counted, in my friend circle, fifteen people are showing off their love, five are showing off their babies, two are showing off their cats… and I have none of these.
So I decided to update early and sleep early, in dreams I have everything!
(=^▽^=)
Tomorrow, the Lantern Festival, is the joyous holiday for us excellent young people. Tomorrow will be a double update, mwah~ (I hope this flag of mine doesn’t fall~)
