The Game with Fairies - Chapter 413
Chapter 413: The Invitation from the Hehuan Sect
Past experiences in the game had already proven that Li Muyang’s game system had the power to rewrite reality.
So, when he completed “Deadly Weed,” Li Muyang understood that after he received his rewards and settled the game, the history of this world would include Jiang Zhiwei, a true immortal who never existed before.
He had thought it wouldn’t have much impact on reality, given that the dark catastrophe had erased the traces of the immortals.
The emergence of Xiao Yecao alone couldn’t reverse the arrival of the dark catastrophe.
Yet, Xiao Yecao left behind many statues and even became one of the few immortals whose names were passed down to later generations.
And her stone fairy statue became a lucky charm that many young men and women dreamt of possessing.
People believed that worshipping the statue of Fairy Qinghe would bring good fortune and help them find their true love…
To be honest, it was quite absurd.
Xiao Yecao never managed to be with her Elder Brother in her lifetime, instead, they were forever separated by heaven and earth, never to meet again.
Yet, the people of later generations firmly believed that Xiao Yecao could bless them in finding their beloved.
Li Muyang shook his head, looking at the stone fairy statue in his hand, he had only one comment.
“Unbelievable.”
Legends, it seems, become more and more distorted and outrageous as they are passed down.
In Li Muyang’s mind, there was now a legend about Fairy Qinghe.
But unlike his little sister, Li Muyang, as someone who had personally experienced the legend, could clearly feel the traces of history being rewritten and was calmly aware of the differences before and after the historical rewrite.
Including little sister, other people in this world seem to have no sensation of the changes in history.
Now, looking at the fairy statue of Qinghe in his hand, Li Muyang sighed.
“Can you really return after ten thousand years…”
He had already checked it carefully, even using his primordial spirit to peer inside the statue.
The entire statue was very ordinary, carved from the most common stone.
It had only been touched by an immortal, leaving behind a trace of the immortal’s charm.
However, the function of this trace of charm was merely to make the statue last lifelike forever.
As for reviving through this trace of charm… Li Muyang’s assessment was that anything can happen in dreams.
The statue had no response to him. If Xiao Yecao could be revived through these statues, then the true immortals of ancient times all died in vain.
But since revival through these statues was impossible, why did Xiao Yecao specifically leave these statues behind?
Could it really be just to pass a message to the future Li Muyang…
Staring at the statue in his hand, Li Muyang was lost in thought for a long time.
Finally, he shook his head in resignation.
“…I seem to have played myself into a corner.”
Originally, it was just playing a game, nurturing a character, and collecting system rewards.
When he first started the game, he never intended to invest any emotions, and Li Muyang had even been consciously restraining his feelings, not allowing himself to get too deep into the role.
But now, looking at the fairy statue in his hand, he found that he had still been affected.
Why does this game have such a strong aftereffect…
Looking at the Xiao Yecao statue in his hand, Li Muyang unexpectedly felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
For someone who was always carefree, this was definitely an unexpected situation.
He sat in his room in a melancholy daze for a long time until Guan Xiaoshun’s voice woke him from his reverie.
“Senior Brother Li! Are you there, Senior Brother Li?”
Guan Xiaoshun, who hadn’t been seen for a long time, rushed into the yard excitedly.
He and Li Yuechan were people whom Li Muyang had specifically instructed to be allowed to come in directly without notification.
So the maidservant did not stop him.
Li Muyang, deep in thought, looked up to see the boy running over with excitement and joy on his face as if he had some good news to share.
Li Muyang was immediately curious.
“Xiaoshun? What brings you here?”
This simple boy from the border city was very sensible, sometimes to the point where Li Muyang felt helpless.
Although Li Muyang had told him that he could come to see him anytime, ever since Li Muyang was promoted to direct disciple, Guan Xiaoshun had rarely visited, maintaining a sufficient distance and not getting carried away by his association with a direct disciple.
His visit was rare.
Li Muyang’s curiosity was piqued, and he joked with a smile.
“Did you find a high-grade spiritual weapon? Why are you grinning like that?”
Guan Xiaoshun shook his head excitedly, still smiling.
“No, it’s good news for you, Senior Brother Li.”
“Just now, I came from Taxue Peak and heard some news. The Hehuan Sect’s young sect leader is going to hold a Dao Discussion Conference to select protectors from the young talents of the world.”
“And this time, the Hehuan Sect is casting a wide net, inviting young talents from all major sects. The invitation sent to our sect specifically names Senior Brother Li to attend.”
Guan Xiaoshun enthusiastically recounted the big news, saying,
“This is a great opportunity!”
“It’s said that those who receive an invitation to the Hehuan Sect’s Dao Discussion Conference will get a Beauty-Preserving Pill just for participating. This is a unique secret medicine of the Hehuan Sect, which after taking, will preserve youth and keep one’s appearance from aging.”
Guan Xiaoshun said with a grin.
“Senior Brother, this is a benefit for nothing.”
“I’ve asked about the market price, and one Beauty-Preserving Pill can be exchanged for five high-grade spiritual pills! It’s worth a fortune!”
“If Senior Brother stands out and becomes the protector of the young sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, the benefits are endless.”
“The sect leaders of the Hehuan Sect have always been beauties, and the current young sect leader is even more so. Becoming her protector and cultivating with her not only increases cultivation but also allows access to many resources of the Hehuan Sect.”
“The protectors of the young sect leaders of the Hehuan Sect have always easily grown to the Purple Mansion realm. Moreover, the Hehuan Sect imposes no restrictions on the protector; the protector only has benefits and doesn’t have to take on too much responsibility.”
Guan Xiaoshun congratulated with a smile.
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Li, your luck has turned.”
“Previously, the Qingyang Association was hunting Senior Brother, but now it has instead bolstered Senior Brother’s reputation, allowing Senior Brother to encounter such a good opportunity.”
Guan Xiaoshun was overjoyed and genuinely happy for Li Muyang.
Li Muyang, hearing this news, was stunned.
“The Hehuan Sect… invited me?”
The Hehuan Sect was a major demonic sect, not much weaker in strength than the Demon Refining Sect.
And the inheritance of this sect was somewhat peculiar.
Although it was called Hehuan, which is based on dual cultivation to improve cultivation, they have techniques for indiscriminate emotional harvesting, as well as the supreme path of devoted love.
The supreme sect leader’s inheritance even chose only one protector for life.
Becoming the protector of the young sect leader of the Hehuan Sect meant a vast future at the Purple Mansion realm.
–Almost every protector of the young sect leader of the Hehuan Sect could ascend to the Purple Mansion.
The news Guan Xiaoshun brought was far beyond Li Muyang’s expectations.
He had not expected that he, once a small fry, would so quickly make a name for himself and even be noticed by the Hehuan Sect.
Just as Li Muyang was asking Guan Xiaoshun for details, Aunt Su’s voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
“Muyang, the young miss is asking for you.”
