I Transmigrated Into a Fantasy World and Write a Diary to Get Stronger, But the Female Leads Are All Acting Strange - Chapter 10:
Chapter 10: Ning Xue’s Suspicion
While chatting, the three of them arrived at the sect entrance. The gatekeeping disciples recognized Xu Feng’er and respectfully greeted her as Senior Sister. Xu Feng’er waved them off, ready to lead Li Yinchuan and Luo Yuling inside.
Luo Yuling suddenly recalled what Ning Xue had told her and stopped walking.
“Why did you stop?” Li Yinchuan asked.
Luo Yuling replied, “Senior Brother, Senior Sister, you two go ahead. Master already arranged someone to pick me up at the main gate.”
“Master?” Li Yinchuan was puzzled.
“Who is your master?” Xu Feng’er was also curious.
“It’s Elder Ning Xue,” Luo Yuling replied.
Xu Feng’er raised an eyebrow. Since when did Elder Ning Xue become Luo Yuling’s master? According to Li Yinchuan’s diary, Luo Yuling only became Ning Xue’s disciple after joining the Heavenly Purple Star Sect. How was she already one now?
And earlier in town, Luo Yuling hadn’t been bullied by Wang Defa—instead, she defeated him and his companions. All of this differed from what was written in the diary.
Was that diary even accurate?
It seemed she couldn’t fully trust the contents of that diary from now on.
Xu Feng’er cast a subtle glance at Li Yinchuan.
At that moment, Li Yinchuan was still thinking about the disciple selection trial the next day. If he remembered correctly, the Ink God Stone was buried beneath a very ugly-looking tree. In the novel, Ye Fan had located it thanks to Old Qin’s guidance.
Tsk, having a treasure-hunting old man on you was really convenient.
As he thought about it, a disciple from Elder Ning Xue arrived at the sect gate, confirmed Luo Yuling’s identity, and prepared to escort her back.
“Let’s go.”
“Goodbye, Senior Brother, Senior Sister.” Luo Yuling waved and followed the disciple away.
“Sigh…” Li Yinchuan came back to his senses and saw that Luo Yuling had already left. He had planned to give her the Purple Restoration Pill, but she ran off so quickly. Oh well, he’d give it to her next time.
“You should head back too. Don’t forget to attend the disciple selection trial tomorrow,” Xu Feng’er said.
“Got it, Senior Sister.”
…
After parting ways with Xu Feng’er, Li Yinchuan returned to the servant disciple quarters. He took out the roasted chicken he had promised Li Daniu and let him feast to his heart’s content. Then he sat down and began writing in his diary.
[So weird, so weird.]
[Something strange happened today—no, not one, but two… no, three strange things!]
[First was Little Junior Sister. When I found her, she was already at the 5th stage Qi Refining Realm!]
[I clearly remember the original novel mentioned she was at the 2nd stage Qi Refining Realm. Where did the extra three stages come from?]
[When I arrived, Little Junior Sister, who was at the 5th stage, actually counterattacked and took down Wang Defa and his buddies!]
[I was originally planning to save her, but didn’t even get the chance. But that’s okay—as long as she didn’t leave with Ye Fan.]
[Speaking of Ye Fan, I just want to laugh. This pretentious clown tried to stomp me to show off but ended up with his butt on fire.]
[Absolutely hilarious. So arrogant while acting tough, but running like a panicked rat when fleeing.]
[Second strange thing—Xu Feng’er. Didn’t expect her to appear in town.]
[Was there such a scene in the original plot? Can’t remember, but it all feels off.]
[That said, even though Xu Feng’er’s temper is explosive, she’s undeniably gorgeous. As a female lead, that’s totally justified.]
[Her figure is perfect—slim where it should be, full where it needs to be. Extremely well-endowed… cough.]
[But that constant fiery aura makes me a little nervous. What if my little brother gets roasted into chicken?]
[No, no, I’m overthinking.]
[The third thing also concerns Little Junior Sister. When she left, she said she was already Elder Ning Xue’s disciple!]
[That’s really odd. When did she even meet Elder Ning Xue? Weren’t they supposed to meet for the first time after the disciple trial?]
[Can’t make sense of it. Is the plot progressing ahead of schedule?]
[Forget it. Not like it matters to me.]
[Oh right, I forgot to give her the Purple Restoration Pill today. This pill is actually better than the Spirit-Resolving Herb Elder Ning Xue was looking for. That herb could only heal her injuries, but this pill not only heals wounds, it also enhances affinity with plants—perfect for helping her with pill refinement later.]
[No rush. Once I pass the trial tomorrow and join the inner sect, I’ll find her then.]
[Hmm… let me think. What are the stages of tomorrow’s trial again? The first is the pressure test—just walking through the sect gate.]
[The second is the endurance test—lasting half a stick of incense in the spirit formation.]
[The final stage is the flag-hunting test in the back mountain. That’s where the Ink God Stone is buried. Once I’m there, finding the stone is the top priority. The flags can wait.]
[Okay, that’s it for the planning. Time to go outside and practice Instant Step. Hope it doesn’t disappoint me.]
After finishing the diary, Li Yinchuan stepped into the courtyard and began cultivating Instant Step.
…
At the Mystic Maiden Sect.
Wang Zhiyan had been restless all morning. The moment she thought about her younger brother’s predicament, she grew increasingly anxious.
“It updated!”
Finally, Li Yinchuan had written a new diary entry. Wang Zhiyan immediately checked the contents. After reading everything, her eyes widened in shock.
“My brother got counterattacked?! He’s dead?!”
“Taken out by someone who just reached the 5th stage Qi Refining Realm?”
“Impossible!”
Wang Zhiyan couldn’t tell if the diary’s contents were true, but she felt a tightness in her chest.
“No, I have to go to the Heavenly Purple Star Sect.”
“If Defa really met with misfortune, I will make the killer pay.”
…
“Interesting. Seems like I’m not the only one with a diary. The Young Sect Master must have one too…”
Inside the Pill Refining Hall, Ning Xue had just finished reading the latest diary entry and immediately formed a theory.
Normally, Xu Feng’er never left the sect, so why had she gone out today—and happened to run into both Li Yinchuan and Luo Yuling?
Could her precious disciple have a diary too? Otherwise, why would she insist on staying in town?
Ning Xue pondered for a moment and then summoned Luo Yuling.
“Master.” Luo Yuling, dressed in a sky-blue robe, entered the Pill Refining Hall.
After arriving at the sect and freshening up, her once dirty face was now clean and fair, with a hint of baby fat. She looked sweet and adorable—completely different from her former beggar appearance.
“Yuling, do you…” Ning Xue began, intending to ask something.
But just as she was about to say the words “diary book,” she felt an unimaginably terrifying aura lock onto her.
Ning Xue was certain—if she dared to say those three words out loud, she would be instantly obliterated.
“What a terrifying feeling…” Cold sweat beaded on Ning Xue’s forehead.
It felt as if she had violated some supreme taboo.
“Master, what’s wrong?” Luo Yuling asked, confused.
Why was her master suddenly stammering like that?
“It’s nothing…”
A few minutes later, Ning Xue calmed herself and confirmed she was fine. As long as she didn’t speak of the diary’s contents, there shouldn’t be any danger.
“Right, did anything happen today?” Ning Xue asked.
