Chapter 421: Who are you? Then who am I? (First Update)

On the carriage from the Divine Path Sect to Sword Province, Duan Xiaoling had been silently observing one of her fellow sect members in the group, her nominal Senior Uncle, Ren Yidao of Luoyue Peak.

"..."

Throughout the journey, she had spent nearly sixty percent of her time pondering matters concerning him.

It was not that she held any special feelings for Ren Yidao, but rather because of a strong sense of incongruity in her heart.

"This feeling is so strange..."

"Xiao Ling, what is it? Are you feeling a bit nervous?"

"This woman will disguise herself as me and use my identity to participate in this Immortal Sect Grand Competition."

"Although the rules for this Immortal Sect Grand Competition haven't been released, they will likely still follow the most basic guidelines; they won't let old monsters of the Heaven Realm bully children of the Human Realm—that would be too inhumane."

This was truly... enviable!

"Damn it, I really owe you..."

"Hehehehe..."

How could she possibly bring this up!

"The candidates she is familiar with, who are not too old and can participate, are few. It is either Duan Xiaoling, whom she has watched grow up and understands to some extent, or it is..."

How could there be a problem?

The sect's Great Array had passed, the Dao God Bell had checked him, and the Sect Leader was aware, so Ren Yidao's identity was absolutely beyond question.

That smile seemed harmless, but looking closely, one could taste something in it that should not have appeared on Ren Yidao...

Ren Yidao curled his lip, then took out a mask and put it on his face.

"Uh, no, it's nothing." Duan Xiaoling shook her head repeatedly, immediately closed her eyes, and began to pretend to be resting.

Furthermore, there was one more point that made Duan Xiaoling certain she wasn't just overthinking: the reaction of her Dao Gods.

Bewitching and charming.

Are they afraid of him?

"That is truly immoral!"

"Me."

"But not everyone has old monsters of the Heaven Realm at home. Some sects' strongest ancestors only have cultivation at the Spirit Transformation or even Dharma Aspect level. The number of Heaven Realm participants will definitely be small, so it won't be enough for her to have her fill of fun."

"Therefore, if this unscrupulous person wants to have fun, she will one hundred percent choose to play the pig to eat the tiger, pretending to be Earth Realm to bully the weak and pitiful children."

"Senior Uncle, did you encounter some sad event before?"

What exactly happened to Senior Uncle Ren?

During the time he was away, did he encounter something?

"That means Senior Sister will use a fake identity... and it won't be one fabricated out of thin air, as that is too easy to expose afterward, so it can only be a disciple already belonging to the Divine Path Sect."

"And another thing! You stole my identity, so what am I supposed to do!"

"Senior Uncle, have you changed?"

Although the innocent young girl sensed some abnormalities, even so, she did not think in the direction of him being replaced.

The special, attractive aura he possessed seemed to have faded quite a bit; although he was still full of charm, it was no longer the kind that made people unable to look away once they saw him.

Senior Uncle Ren, well, although he looked the same as before and his temperament had basically not changed, there was one point that was different from the past.

I have seen through your little trick, woman!

Just as Jing Yueqin was familiar with Ren Yidao, he understood her too well.

"I can only say, this is truly an unexpected but reasonable development!"

61.223.149.5

"She wants to participate in the competition one hundred percent!"

Thinking of this, the contempt and envy at the corners of Ren Yidao's mouth became increasingly obvious.

On this point, he was a bit unsure.

If there were no accidents, this was the truth of the moment.

Ren Yidao sneered three times, having completely seen through the thoughts of the great demon Jing.

"You seem to have been looking at me; is there something on your mind? Tell me, Senior Uncle will definitely do his best to help you."

Ren Yidao really wanted to rush in front of Jing Yueqin right now and say to the others:

How to bring it up?

Should he just ask so bluntly and directly:

Perhaps it was really as Senior Uncle Ren had just asked; was she feeling a bit uneasy because she was about to represent the sect in the competition?

Duan Xiaoling tried hard to persuade herself this way, not noticing that when she closed her eyes, a faint smile suddenly flashed across the face of Ren Yidao beside her.

But this was only a facade; once she truly caused a tragedy, even if she were a great expert of the Divine Path Sect, she would be purged by righteous people who uphold the path and eliminate demons.

Since Ren Yidao had returned to the sect less than half a month ago, this was the first time she had met him at close range, and it was only on the road to Sword Province that Duan Xiaoling realized where the incongruity in her heart had been all along.

"But, at her age, surely... no, that's not right, the Immortal Sect Grand Competition's age requirements won't be too harsh; after all, not everyone is a young prodigy, and late bloomers are the common situation in the cultivation world."

From receiving the news from Mei Jie to Ren Yidao analyzing all this, it took less than half a quarter of an hour.

Ren Yidao took a deep breath, looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and sighed as he uttered the final and greatest possibility.

Although she had imagined many things in her heart, Duan Xiaoling still lacked the courage to question him to his face.

"But the problem now is, does she just want to borrow my identity to compete? Or does she plan to use my identity to stir up some trouble?"

"Tsk... she really is something."

"The problem is not the age, but the cultivation and the identity."

"He is fake! I am the real one!"

"If you are Ren Yidao, then who am I?"

But it wouldn't do.

While Duan Xiaoling was thinking, Ren Yidao suddenly turned his head, revealed a gentle smile to her, and asked in a low voice.

"Since Senior Sister is coming to join in the fun, she definitely won't be content with just being a spectator. If not as a proper contestant, she must at least be an attendant who can sneak into the official competition venue... No, based on my understanding of Jing Yueqin, she definitely wants to compete."

Those Senluo Hell Hundred Ghosts born because of Ren Yidao did not feel joy when they touched him; instead, they revealed a faint fear.

Plus, Jing Yueqin had indeed been quiet for a long time, and the dynasty's surveillance of her had gradually decreased, slowly relaxing their vigilance.

"As for her identity, her identity as the Great Demon Jing certainly cannot be used. Even if a small number of people have already tacitly accepted her existence, it can never be brought out into the open."

Her behavior was too immoral.

"Forget it, I won't think too much about it for now. Maybe I'm just overthinking it?"

Does the Northern Qian Dynasty know about Jing Yueqin?

They likely knew long ago, but for various reasons, they never interfered, only letting the Divine Path Sect manage and restrain her themselves, not letting her go out and cause trouble again.

Shi Xue, who was to the side, had just been wondering why his mood had suddenly changed so drastically and was just about to ask when she saw him silently begin to disguise himself.

"... What are you doing?"

What are you up to again?
