Chapter 1 What's Up with the Sect Leader Lately?

The player Suhe from Bu Tian Sect felt as lonely as snow.

He couldn't understand the divination books, and he didn't know what he was divining every day. His interstellar education from so many years was about to be shattered by this worldview!

He even thought that after leaving the game, he might as well switch to fortune-telling. It seemed like a "bright future with no money."

Playing this game, if it weren't for his body's instinctive reaction to blurt out the hexagram after each divination, he would probably be exposed by the NPCs the next day and be taken for some evil cultivator trying to possess him.

The key point was, he didn't know why, but recently the Sect Leader was free every day, personally teaching them Jiǎ Jīn (oracle bone script) deduction, and then they had to endure his nagging.

"I don't know. I heard that Sect Leader Qiong Yu from Bi Bo Yao Mountain came a couple of days ago, looking unhappy. After that, the Sect Leader..."

The gossiping disciples were chatting enthusiastically in private. This player from the Fourth Imperial Military Academy even pulled out a plate of melon seeds from his Qiankun (universe) bag for everyone to enjoy.

"Could it be that the Sect Leader and Immortal Qiong Yu..."

"Shh—" Suhe, who wanted to ask about some scandalous rumors, was stopped by a disciple beside him.

"No, it seems that the Sect Leader once divined a hexagram for Immortal Qiong Yu's disciple. This time, I'm afraid the hexagram was broken, and she came to cause trouble."

"Really?" Suhe widened his eyes. Wasn't their Sect Leader supposed to be the best at divination?

"Who says otherwise? It seems that her favorite disciple's destined Dao companion will come from Bai Cao Tang."

"Whoa, wouldn't that be a doomed sect?"

"That's right, so... tsk tsk tsk! Moreover, Bi Bo Yao Mountain thoroughly investigated this matter for a long time but couldn't find out who was behind it, so they came to vent their anger on our Sect Leader, didn't they?"

"Oh~ So we're just collateral damage?"

After Suhe understood the whole story, he suddenly felt a sense of empathy.

Too miserable.

"Who said I'm venting my anger on you?" A low, middle-aged uncle's voice suddenly exploded among the group of gathered disciples.

Everyone: 0.0!!!

Suhe was so frightened that the plate in his hand fell. He turned around and saw his master, Sect Leader Xie Zhen, staring at him with a smile, and said, "If you don't understand anything, just ask your teacher. Tell me, what do you want to hear?"

Suhe: QvQ, no, he didn't want anything.

...

"The Bai Cao Tang incident is a big deal~ Luo Yao sent me a message saying that her master has been very angry lately."

Mingmei realized that Mei Jiu had been telling her about this almost every other day. After calculating, Mingmei realized it had been about half a month.

"Haven't you found any clues yet?"

Mingmei asked, but Mei Jiu just shook her head. How would she know about this?

"Right! Didn't we agree that you would regularly accompany me to eat snacks? Let's go together~"

"What?" Mingmei was stunned. Her expression was obviously not what Mei Jiu had expected.

"What?" Mei Jiu's little face suddenly wrinkled. "Don't you remember? Last time, you said that you would accompany me to taste the snacks made by Xie Chen every five days~"

"Ah..." Mingmei opened her mouth slightly. It seemed that she really didn't have this memory in her mind. She asked cautiously, "Have we been there several times?"

"Including this time, it's the third time." Mei Jiu held up a "three" with her fingers. Mingmei was even more confused now, but she smiled on the surface and told Mei Jiu to leave quickly.

[Ghostie? Why don't I remember what happened before?] Mingmei knew that she couldn't confirm anything by asking Mei Jiu, so she could only ask Ghostie.

[Host... th-this is the character's need.] Ghostie was also vague, not knowing how to explain, because this was not its problem!

[Me? What do I need?] Mingmei already knew that this character was actually her younger self.

[I don't know... Your character setting seems to have something about forgetting, but I don't understand it.] Ghostie felt ashamed of itself when it said this.

Shouldn't a dignified artificial intelligence know everything?

It's just that the things in this world of cultivation are completely opposite to what it learned before. It really doesn't understand!

Ghostie's incomprehension also left Mingmei speechless. Could it be that the blurriness of her childhood memories was also because of this?

[Then do you know what I did the previous two times?]

[Eat pastries.]

Mingmei: ...?

Asked for nothing.

Didn't she already know that she came here to eat pastries?

[Besides eating pastries?]

[Watching Lu Xiaoyao and Mei Jiu comment?]

Mingmei was like: ??

[Oh, you also secretly looked at that Xie Chen.]

Finally, Ghostie got to the point!

[In the future, you must remind me about this pastry tasting. Every time this happens, remember to record it for me.]

Mingmei decided to use black technology. If she couldn't remember, naturally the machine would remember.

[Host, my recording function is disabled in this game, and so is recording.] After Ghostie finished speaking, it thought for less than 0.01 seconds and said, [Mr. Yan Hui said that you have to rely on yourself in this game!]

So strict?

...

At this time, in the spiritual food hall, it seemed to be very common for Mu Chen to make pastries during non-meal times.

Lu Xiaoyao, out of fear of his authority, was burning the fire for him.

Then, when she saw him make the exact same pastry as last time, Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but ask, "That... Senior Brother Xie, is this the only kind of pastry you know how to make?"

If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the third time Lu Xiaoyao had eaten this pastry.

The taste was exactly the same, with no room for improvement or regression.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiaoyao successfully received a sharp glare from Mu Chen.

Lu Xiaoyao: Auto-mute ing

"Just eat yours. You don't need to say anything else." Mu Chen looked at the pastry he had made countless times, a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes, and he secretly cursed Yan Hui in passing.

Damn planner, inhumane!

"Achoo!"

Outside the game, Yan Hui, who had been observing the overall direction of the game, tilted his head and glanced at Ming Yi, who was sitting there with a straight face, rubbed his nose, and asked, "Have you seen anything?"

"You made the game, why are you asking me?"

"Well~ Isn't this a world that is restored and set according to the information provided by everyone? Those magnificent worldviews, rich cultivation knowledge, I can replicate them with machines, but that doesn't mean I understand them."

Yan Hui said, shrugged his shoulders: "The Zerg doesn't know what Xie Chen has turned them into and is raising them in the game. I didn't expect that the NPC created by stripping Mu Chen's memory of Xie Chen would be so outrageous."

"Are you sure you stripped Mu Chen's memory?" Ming Yi glanced at Yan Hui. Back then, after Xie Chen was sent here by Mei Jiu and said that it was up to them to deal with him, Mingmei had not yet woken up.

He and Mei Shi knew what Xie Chen had done for Mingmei, and Mei Jiu had no intention of killing him, so they let Yan Hui handle it.

As a result, the person was dealt with, but Yan Hui caused trouble himself and made this thing.

No matter how Ming Yi looked at this thing, it looked like a heart demon.
