LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 3
Chapter 3: Rebellious Disciple, Where Are You Grabbing?:
That was why he had ruthlessly written off all the female leads!
Even more bizarrely, the author of that novel mysteriously disappeared on the day he finished writing. Some speculated that he couldn’t handle the betrayal and took his own life, while others believed he had renounced the world and become a monk. The whole matter had gone viral online at the time!
But none of that mattered now. For Ning Jie, as long as he had a clear understanding of the general plot, that was enough!
Besides, in this life, everything was turning out for the better—after all, he could finally take down the protagonist!
As Ning Jie was lost in thought, Qiu Yuebai’s piercing gaze locked onto him as she slowly approached.
Damn!
What was this woman up to?
Ning Jie’s heart skipped a beat. This plot was completely off-script, making him panic slightly.
“Rebellious disciple!”
Qiu Yuebai couldn’t help but call out, but her voice was barely above a whisper.
Ning Jie was still in shock over seeing Qiu Yuebai standing right in front of him.
He hadn’t yet processed what she had just called him!
“What… what did you say?”
Hearing Ning Jie’s question, Qiu Yuebai suppressed the flood of emotions in her heart and quickly thought it through.
“No, at this point in time, this rebellious disciple doesn’t know me yet. If I act too suddenly, I’ll just scare him!”
“He hasn’t done anything to betray me yet. I should investigate the situation first before telling him about my rebirth.”
Determined, Qiu Yuebai reined in her emotions and controlled her expression.
The day Ning Jie pushed her off that cliff, she had felt utter despair and regret.
She couldn’t deny it—after all those years spent together, she had already developed feelings for him. Those feelings had long since surpassed that of a simple master-disciple bond. Otherwise, why would she have trusted him so much, even after losing her cultivation?
But what she couldn’t understand was—if he had feelings for her too, why had he still pushed her off that cliff?
He said he had no choice?
Why?
Qiu Yuebai was determined to uncover the truth behind it all.
So, the moment she was reborn yesterday, she had rushed straight to Xiling City to find him.
She firmly believed that Ning Jie wouldn’t have betrayed her for no reason! Since she had been given a second chance at life, she was going to get to the bottom of everything this time!
And, of course…
She was also going to punish this rebellious disciple severely!
“Hmph! Treacherous disciple! Ungrateful little wolf! Let’s see how I deal with you this time!”
Qiu Yuebai puffed up with pride. Though she was thousands of years old, her heart, at this moment, was as mischievous as a young girl’s!
After making up her mind, she finally spoke with a calm expression.
“Ahem, allow me to introduce myself.”
“I am Qiu Yuebai, an elder of Melodic Sound Sect, and I’ve come here today to subdue a demon. Seeing that you possess extraordinary bones and have the potential of an Emperor, I wish to take you as my disciple. Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?”
Qiu Yuebai looked at Ning Jie with a serious expression, as if she were making a solemn proclamation.
What the hell?
Extraordinary bones? The potential of an Emperor? What nonsense! I’m not some overpowered protagonist like Wang Teng!
Though Ning Jie didn’t believe in that ridiculous “extraordinary bones” nonsense used to deceive children, there was indeed a demon in Xiling City. Could it really just be a coincidence?
He mulled over the situation and considered everything that would unfold in the future.
For now, the best course of action was to play along and adapt as things developed.
Feigning astonishment, he asked, “Is the immortal serious? You’re truly willing to take me as your disciple?”
Qiu Yuebai’s eyebrows arched slightly, and she smiled gently before nodding.
“That’s wonderful! Master, please accept my formal bow!”
Ning Jie’s face lit up with joy as he immediately knelt and kowtowed.
Though the situation had played out unexpectedly, it was actually the best outcome for him.
Now that Qiu Yuebai had officially taken him in, he wouldn’t have to cross-dress to sneak into Melodic Sound Sect!
Thinking back on those days of dressing as a woman… sigh, best not to dwell on it. Too many painful memories!
Seeing Ning Jie accept, Qiu Yuebai’s lips curled into a meaningful smile as she suddenly grabbed his shoulder.
A long, azure sword materialized in an instant, and with a single step, they soared into the sky, flying on the sword!
Damn!
The crowd gathered outside Xiaoxiang Pavilion gasped in shock.
An immortal?!
Once the shock wore off, most people celebrated Ning Jie’s departure, spreading the news like wildfire.
Only the women of the brothel were left heartbroken. Many of them lost all motivation to entertain guests, lying motionless on their beds like lifeless fish.
Without Young Master Ning, how were they supposed to live?
Meanwhile, Ning Jie was completely unprepared for Qiu Yuebai’s sudden action and was scared out of his wits!
“Immortal lady! What are you doing?!”
Without even turning her head, Qiu Yuebai replied, “We’re going back to Melodic Sound Sect.”
“What? So suddenly?”
“You’ll get used to it.”
Ning Jie felt dizzy.
That familiar feeling was back. This woman was still as unpredictable as ever!
She always acted on a whim!
It was a shame, though—if things had gone according to the original plot, an absolutely stunning courtesan would have arrived at Xiaoxiang Pavilion soon. He would’ve had the pleasure of spending a passionate night with her.
But now that Qiu Yuebai had snatched him away, there was no chance of that happening!
As Ning Jie sighed in regret, Qiu Yuebai suddenly called out.
“Stand firm!”
The moment she spoke, the speed of their flight surged to a whole new level. The wind roared past their ears.
Holy—!
Ning Jie nearly lost his soul.
He had just reincarnated, meaning he was back at square one. His body hadn’t yet absorbed spiritual energy, so he was still a mortal. How could he possibly withstand such high-speed sword flight?
Feeling like he was about to fall, he instinctively reached out for something to grab onto.
But the sensation under his palms was soft and bouncy…
He froze.
Qiu Yuebai, who had been fully focused on controlling the sword, suddenly trembled violently.
She couldn’t believe it—Ning Jie had actually grabbed that place!
“You rebellious disciple… where do you think you’re grabbing?!”
Qiu Yuebai scolded him angrily, her entire body shuddering.
That damn disciple—he had triggered something, sending tingling waves through her. She felt as if she had been electrocuted, her entire body going weak, as if she were drunk!
Ning Jie panicked.
In his past life, although he had done everything he could to win over his master, he had never actually crossed the line.
There had always been an invisible barrier between them, and he had no intention of breaking it.
After all, his mission was to kill all the female leads. He didn’t want to get too deeply involved with them, or he might hesitate when the time came.
But now, this was the closest he had ever been to her!
Realizing he had grabbed the wrong place, he was momentarily at a loss.
“Are you done grabbing?! Let go already!”
Qiu Yuebai’s voice was a mix of anger and embarrassment. How long did this disciple plan on holding on?!
Her usually composed face now had a faint blush, though she quickly suppressed it to maintain her dignity.
“Ah… oh!”
Snapping out of it, Ning Jie hurriedly retracted his sinful hands and instead grabbed onto the fabric of her robe, looking utterly awkward.
He took a deep breath and kept reminding himself:
I’m a villain.
I’m a villain.
I’m a pervert!
Qiu Yuebai hastily adjusted her clothing, still fuming. The redness on her face had spread all the way to her ears. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Forget what just happened, immediately!”
Ning Jie nodded vigorously.
“I’ll forget it right away!”
But as he turned his head away, he couldn’t help but think—
The clouds today were really big…
Really white…
And really soft…
Melodic Sound Sect was tens of thousands of miles away from Xiling City. If Qiu Yuebai wanted to get back before nightfall, she had to push her speed to the limit! The fierce wind howled around them, and Ning Jie struggled to keep his balance.
Sensing his constant fidgeting, Qiu Yuebai frowned.
“Why are you twisting and shaking so much?”
Ning Jie smiled bitterly.
“This is my first time flying with Master. The speed is too fast—I can’t handle it…”
Qiu Yuebai thought for a moment and found it reasonable. After all, in their past life, they had never flown together. Besides, he was still just a mortal now.
“Well, it is your first time, no wonder you’re trembling. Don’t worry, after a few more times, you’ll get used to it.”
Ning Jie’s eyes lit up.
A few more times?
Was this a promise?!
