Pulling Together a Villain Reformation Strategy

Chapter 88 – Extra: Enjoy the Good Times (7)

After the group finished their dance rotation, the girls turned around and let their sleeves down. With a smile, they stretched out their arms and faced towards the seat of honor, but Yun Xie and Jiang Xunyi were both stunned stupid.

My God! ! !

Master…

And both, too…

It turned out that the two distinguished guests Sister Fei mentioned were… were the two who were currently sitting in the seat of honor: Chengwu-Daozhang and Immortal Master Ti Ming…

At first, they thought they were just making a small sacrifice in order to catch the demon. They would just put on women’s clothes and no one would know any better. But now, everything changed. They didn’t catch any monster, but instead caught their two masters…

Jiang Xunyi’s face had become wooden. All around him was singing and dancing and the fluttering of colorful sleeves, but he and Yun Xie almost wanted to cry without tears. They watched as Master Ti Ming calmly poured the tea that was supposed to be delivered to his lips into his collar.

Yun Xie was the first to return to his senses and secretly pushed Jiang Xunyi a bit. He took the lead in raising his arms and taking a few steps, following the movements of the dancers again.

Jiang Xunyi was reminded by him, and he immediately woke up – at this point, they had no choice but to see it through to the end. If others found out and the matter spread outside, none of them will have the face to appear in society ever again.

This dance was truly something they would never forget in this life.

Finally, the song ended. It probably wasn’t only Yun Xie and Jiang Xunyi who were tormented by the dance, as Immortal Master Ti Ming also looked very irritated. As soon as the song stopped, he hurriedly said, “Good dancing. I can see that this dance requires much effort. You’ve all worked so hard, so go and rest.”

Jiang Xunyi and Yun Xie glanced at each other, then both breathed a sigh of relief. However, Chengwu-Daozhang smiled and added, “Hold on, I’ve long since heard that Luoyue Pavilion’s dancers are the most gentle and beautiful, each with their own unique charm. Now that we have finally visited, it is a must for to let two of the best looking girls accompany our drinking with song. It is a worthwhile trip if we can experience this.”

Sister Fei hurriedly stepped forward with a smile. “May I ask which one the distinguished guest is interested in?”

Yun Xie understood his master’s improper personality and rolled his eyes up to the sky.

Sure enough, Chengwu-daozhang said, “Just the two girls in the back. Their dancing… is very unique.”

Sister Fei: “…”

If you say they are pretty, that would be believable.

However, the customer was always right. In addition, the two guests of honor were refined men with unsullied temperaments, and they also gave a lot of money. Sister Fei responded with a smile on her face, turning her head back and secretly staring at Yun Xie and Jiang Xunyi. She lowered her voice and warned, “Go and serve them, what are you doing here like a wooden pimple!”

Chengwu-daozhang pretended to drink tea, covering his mouth with a teacup.

Sister Fei led the other dancers out, but there were others in the room waiting on the side. It was unclear if it was a deliberate move, but Chengwu-daozhang did not ask them to leave. Yun Xie hardened his heart and and walked to his own master’s side. As he poured him a glass of wine, he imitating how Lesheng talked to Jiang Xunyi just now, voice coquettish and flirtatious and he said, “My Lord, please drink.”

Chengwu-daozhang. “……”

The bear student had surpassed the master, and the way he was acting almost caused Chengwu-daozhang to be unable to hold it in anymore.

But it’s okay if he was unable to bully this one. There was an obedient one by his side. Cheng Wudao’s long eyes flicked over, and he pointed at Jiang Xunyi with a big smile.

“You…”

However, before he could even finish speaking, Yun Xie’s hands shook and he poured half a glass of wine on his lap, preventing Chengwu-daozhang from teasing Jiang Xunyi. At the same time, Master Ti Ming, who had been distracted by the toppling of his three world views, finally recovered and opened his mouth to relieve his beloved disciple of humiliation. “Xun…cough cough, miss , come here… and drink with me.”

“…Yes, my Lord…”

Yun Xie was trying so hard not to laugh he was trembling all over, resorting to pinching his thigh with his hands desperately. Master Ti Ming covered his face – although he shouldn’t have experienced the feeling of not being able to look straight, at this moment, he deeply felt this emotion in his being.

After Jiang Xunyi said this one line, he threw caution into the wind and went forwards to pour the wine.

Chengwu-daozhang had enough fun and was finally satisfied, so he waved his hand. “It’s enough to be accompanied by the two of them. The rest of you withdraw.”

As soon as the people left, Chengwu-daozhang raised his hand and smacked Yun Xie on the forehead. Although he didn’t hitting hard, his voice was very sharp. “Smelly boy. If it was just you fooling around yourself, then whatever. But why did you kidnap Martial Brother Jiang along too?” 

Jiang Xunyi quickly said, “No, Uncle, it was me that wanted to descend the mountain.”

Chengwu-daozhang replied, “Xun’er, you don’t need to cover for this kid. Would I still not know his personality?” 

Yun Xie rubbed his forehead and laughed as he said, “Master is right to chide this disciple. Disciple saw that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and with the weather being good for once, I went to Lingyin to visit Junior Brother Jiang. However, I didn’t expect that Martial Uncle Ti Ming was not on the mountain, so I sneaked him out and brought him down to see. Junior Brother Jiang was unwilling at first. It was me who persistently dragged him down.”

As he spoke, he bowed to Immortal Master Ti Ming and said with a smile, “Martial Uncle Ti Ming, this disciple had acted boldly, may Martial Uncle punish me.”

Although Yun Xie took all the blame, how could Immortal Master Ti Ming not understand what the situation was on the mountain? Halfway through listening, he understood and sighed. “A’Xie, get up. You are not to blame for this. I was too rushed as I left the mountain and didn’t make enough calculations.” 

He dragged Jiang Xunyi over and scrutinized his forehead injury. “Child, now you are a year older, and your temper should be changed, too. If you know you will suffer, why do you insist on meeting them with force? What if one day I die?”

Jiang Xunyi cried out, “Master, what are you talking about!”

Immortal Master Ti Ming patted Jiang Xunyi’s head. “Let’s look at an analogy.” He pondered for a moment, then continued, “When I get home, I will pass the sect master seal to you. “

Jiang Xunyi frowned slightly, feeling that every sentence of what Master Ti Ming said today was very ominous. He felt so inexplicably uneasy, he even forgot the embarrassment from earlier.

After Jiang Xunyi put on makeup, his original heroism was hidden. At this time, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, and his eyes were like autumn water. With his red lips were slightly pursed, his appearance was really clear and beautiful. As Yun Xie looked at his frowning expression, his heart thumped, and Li Longji’s phrase: “The eyebrows do not need to be painted, naturally long and thin as they reach towards your temples”[1] suddenly came to mind. Remembering that the name of this poem was originally called “good times”, he felt a little sentimental.

“A’Xie.”

Unexpectedly, Chengwu-daozhang had called him, and only now did Yun Xie recover. “Ah”.

Fortunately, Chengwu-daozhang didn’t say anything else this time, merely asking, “A’Xie, Xun’er, why are you here? You are still dressed… so finely?”

Immortal Master Ti Ming smiled and shook his head, feeling both frustrated and indulgent towards the two children.

Jiang Xunyi rushed in front of Yun Xie. “Martial Uncle, Martial Brother Yun and I felt an evil spirit nearby and came to catch the monster, but for an unknown reason, it flashes in and out of existence… It seemed to be coming from this box… this disciple was not relieved, so he said to Senior Brother Yun that we should come in and take a look…”

Suddenly, he and Yun Xie suddenly exclaimed in unison, “I feel it again!”

The two masters were not surprised at all. Chengwu-daozhang patted his waist as he said, “Oh, is this what you mean?”

The two looked over together and an inconspicuous small cloth bag hanging by his waist. The shape looked like a purse, but the color was too gray, and it was not very beautiful.

Before Yun Xie figured out what was going on, Jiang Xunyi had already said, “The Soul Eater?”

He glanced at Immortal Master Ti Ming, a little confused at how his inseparable magic weapon ended up in Martial Uncle Chengwu’s hands.

Chengwu-daozhang smiled. “This thing was originally your Hidden Spirit’s item, and I am not used to it. Sometimes I bump it and the seal loosens, leaking some demonic aura. But once I cover it, hey, it’s gone. I didn’t expect that you two could even detect this. You really deserve to be good disciples taught by famous teachers.”

Jiang Xunyi: “…”

The way Yun Xie talked truly did seem to be nurtured by his master since he was a child, and listening to it, he really wanted to hit him.

Chengwu-daozhang demonstrated as he spoke, and Yun Xie said, “Master! You’ve clearly messed with us!”

Chengwu-daozhang said, “Aren’t you having a good time?”

As Yun Xie stood speechless, Immortal Master Ti Ming had already got up and said to Chengwu-daozhang, “Brother Cheng, give me the Soul Eater.”

Chengwu-daozhang stopped smiling, a rare tone of disapproval in his voice. “What are you going to do?”

“This belongs to the Hidden Spirit Sect. I am embarrassed to make you do the work for me. I should hold it myself.”

Chengwu-daozhang said nothing, nor did he move, and Immortal Master Ti Ming’s hand reached towards his waist. Chengwu-daozhang grabbed his hand, stopping him.

Both Yun Xie and Jiang Xunyi felt that something was wrong, and their expressions became solemn, looking at them together.

Chengwu-daozhang glanced at the two children, then said, “Timing, come here.”

The two of them got up and walked aside. Yun Xie’s lips moved slightly, but he still did not speak, instead turning to squeeze Jiang Xunyi’s shoulders. Jiang Xunyi whispered, “It’s okay.”

On the other end, Chengwu-daozhang also lowered his voice to murmur to Master Ti Ming, “After you had a qi-deviation last time, your heart demon has not yet calmed down, and you can’t suppress the Soul Eater. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Are you anxious that I have the magical weapon?”

Immortal Master Ti Ming sighed. “When I suppressed Xuanli, I was careless for a moment, and fragments of the Marrow-Washing Jade entered my wound, no longer able to be taken out again. It was because of this that I have been corrupted by demonic energy, and I don’t know when I will be demonized… The Hidden Spirit Sect has built its foundation for hundreds of years; if this matter spreads to the outside world, the consequences will be disastrous. Fortunately, Xun’er has gradually grown, and he also has a good relationship with A’Xie. With you are there, I have nothing to worry about…”

Chengwu-daozhang felt that this sounded ominous, and he quickly interjected, “What do you mean? It sounds like you’re saying your last words.”

Immortal Master Ti Ming was taken aback for a moment, then said with a laugh, “It hasn’t reached that point yet, I was just overcome with emotion for a moment. It’s like this, I have already talked to the red fox spirit mixed in with the singing girls. According to her, the spiritual spring we have been looking for that can restrain the devilish energy is thirty miles east of this place. I will take the Soul Eater to soak it for a while. The place is not far away, so you can rest assured and give it to me.”

Chengwu-daozhang still hesitated. “Why don’t I…”

Immortal Master Ti Ming raised his hand to interrupt him then said with a smile, “You should take the two little ones out first.”

Chengwu-daozhang knew that he was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Although he looked gentle, when he made a decision, he would never change his mind. Therefore, he could only sigh. “Fine.”

The two of them turned around, their expressions returning to normal as they had planned it. Immortal Master Ti Ming took the Soul Eater, then patted Jiang Xunyi’s head with a smile. “Your master is occupied with urgent matters. First go to Solar Envy Mountain with your martial uncle and stay for a few days. When things are over, I will pick you up again.”

After he spoke, he turned to leave, and Jiang Xunyi hurriedly called out, “Master!”

He hesitated for a moment, but he couldn’t think of what to say, so he finally said, “Please be careful about everything.” 

Immortal Master Ti Ming was taken aback and laughed. “Okay.”

When he was gone, Chengwu-daozhang put his arms around Yun Xie’s shoulders and said, “Come on, I will redeem you for your teacher.”

Seeing Jiang Xunyi’s gloomy expression, he intentionally teased him. After he said that, he turned and dragged Yun Xie out, leaving him behind. Jiang Xunyi was stunned for a moment but quickly followed behind.

Sister Fei, who was guarding the door, saw the three of them coming out, and hurriedly greeted him. Chengwu-daozhang pressed on Yun Xie’s shoulder and said, “This girl is good. I just happen to lack a cupbearer in my house. I want to buy her to serve me. State a price.”

Yun Xie coughed dryly, pitching his voice up to say, “Master, I have been with my… good sister ever since I was a child. Can you show kindness and redeem her too?”

Chengwu-daozhang refused. ” There is only one person in my family. There is no point in having more.”

Jiang Xunyi: “…”

Hey, you master and apprentice pair look like you’re having fun.

Yun Xie smiled and said softly, “In that case, it’s all up to you.”

Then, he secretly stretched out his hand behind Chengwu-daozhang and pinched him hard on his waist.

Chengwu-daozhang did not change his expression as he continued, “Wu, I suddenly remembered that there is a bad disciple in my family. He is not a respectable person. He is not young anymore, and yet no girl wants to marry him. Why don’t I buy another to be his wife.”

This was originally just a joke to mess with him, but when Yun Xie heard it, an inexplicable joy rose from the bottom of his heart. He couldn’t help but laugh, turning his head to look at Jiang Xunyi with crescent-like eyes that are full of tenderness.

Jiang Xunyi thought that Yun Xie was laughing at him, but just as he opened his mouth to scold him, the door of the next room was suddenly opened by a gust of wind, and the sound of the music filled the room, covering all his words.

“You and I are in our youth, don’t lose sight of the good times…”[1]
