The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

When Lin Xiao returned with Lu Yingying, he found two more stunning beauties sitting at the dining table! It was none other than his Master and Martial Uncle Su from Phoenix Caw Peak!

"Alright, Xiao'er, let's get back to business," Xiao Hongling began, her demeanor becoming serious. "Let's continue our discussion about the Sword Tomb."

Xiao Hongling sat upright, her shapely, black-stockinged legs crossed elegantly.

From Lin Xiao's perspective, his Master's legs, with their wonderfully elongated curves, were less fleshy than Martial Uncle Su's but more full and shapely than those of younger girls like Lu Yingying.

Truly, these were the most beautiful legs in the mortal realm, coveted by millions of male cultivators in the Cultivation World, yet utterly unattainable.

Lin Xiao reined in his thoughts and said earnestly, "As far as I know, the Sword Tomb's Secret Realm opens automatically every eight years. It contains countless rare treasures awaiting discovery by destined disciples. Of course, its primary function is to enable promising Sword Cultivators to forge their own Lifebound Immortal Swords."

"Not bad, not bad at all, little one. You've certainly done your homework," Xiao Hongling said with a smile. "Indeed, this year marks the opening of the Sword Tomb. It was originally scheduled before the Five Branches Martial Contest, where you leading disciples were to take your inner sect disciples to forge swords. However—"

Before she could finish, Su Mei interjected, "However, for some unknown reason, your Martial Uncle, the Sect Leader, suddenly and stubbornly decided to move the Sword Tomb's opening to *after* the Five Branches Martial Contest. That's right, it's tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Why so sudden?" Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes," Su Mei said with a grave expression. "Even the Six Holy Beings have personally made their stance clear on this matter. They've requested that each branch select their most elite inner sect disciples to proceed to the Sword Tomb as soon as possible, forge their Lifebound Immortal Swords, and enhance their combat strength in preparation for any unforeseen circumstances."

In truth, the 'script' in her mind became exceedingly vague regarding the details of events following the Sword Tomb Secret Realm and the Five Branches Martial Contest. She only knew that the Qinglan Sect would later face a devastating calamity because of Ye Chen's promiscuous behavior and womanizing, but she didn't know the specific nature of this disaster.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hongling, Guo Yourong, and the others also wore equally grave expressions, as if weighed down by some unspoken worry.

Yes, the 'scripts' in their minds also became mere hazy outlines after the Five Branches Martial Contest!

Seeing the expressions on these beautiful women around the table, Lin Xiao's mind suddenly raced with a wild thought!

Judging by their expressions, surely they don't actually know about the impending Demon Sect turmoil, do they?

Considering how desperately these women had tried to prevent Ye Chen from embarrassing him before, Lin Xiao was almost certain of it!

"Alright, alright, I'll just say it plainly," Xiao Hongling interjected again, raising a delicate eyebrow. "That Sword Tomb trial is fraught with danger. According to sect rules, once disciples from each branch enter, they are to fend for themselves. However, in reality, there will inevitably be some interaction."

"Back then, when your Martial Uncle Su and I entered the Sword Tomb representing Divine Phoenix Peak and Phoenix Caw Peak respectively, we joined forces and secured all the resources inside. Consequently, our two branches had the most disciples forge Spirit Swords!"

"Therefore, your Martial Uncle Su and I want you to team up with Junior Sister Zhu from Phoenix Caw Peak. Form a strong alliance, lead your junior martial brothers and sisters safely through the Sword Tomb, and forge Spirit Swords!"

What?!

Hearing this, Lin Xiao was visibly startled!

Team up with Zhu Wanning!? According to the original plot, wouldn't he be the one to eventually fall into a Secret Realm with Zhu Wanning, leading to that infamous embarrassing locked-room scenario? It would have to be me, Lin!

The thought made Lin Xiao somewhat excited.

"What? You're unwilling? Or do you think my disciple isn't strong enough?" Su Mei narrowed her eyes from the side as she spoke.

Before Lin Xiao could even reply, Guo Yourong stood up abruptly. "Martial Uncle Su, I don't think that's necessary. For tomorrow's Sword Tomb trial, having Eldest Senior Brother and myself from Divine Phoenix Peak will be enough. Why should we team up with outsiders?"

Ever since Martial Uncle Su brought Zhu Wanning to the celebration banquet last night and caused that embarrassing blunder, Guo Yourong had harbored resentment!

Regardless of whether there was anything between Eldest Senior Brother and Zhu Wanning, from now on, she would absolutely not allow this rival of hers to get her claws into Eldest Senior Brother again!

Seeing the atmosphere grow tense, Lin Xiao quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Firstly, Martial Uncle Su, please don't misunderstand!"

"I, this junior, absolutely do not look down on Junior Sister Zhu! However, as for the matter of our two groups joining forces..."

To prevent his three junior martial sisters from getting jealous, he quickly changed tack, "Let's discuss this again later. After all, I'm not very familiar with Junior Sister Zhu, and besides..." He feigned a sigh. "Ah, I've been feeling a bit under the weather lately. You know how it is with men, we have our 'off days' each month too. So, for tomorrow's Sword Tomb Secret Realm, I'm not sure if I'll be able to..."

"Nonsense!" Before Lin Xiao could finish, Xiao Hongling shot up from her seat, exasperated. "You... you... you... you're a boy! How could you possibly have 'that kind of thing'! This matter is settled! Tomorrow morning, at the entrance of the Sword Tomb—assemble!"

"You *will* cooperate with Zhu Wanning from Phoenix Caw Peak! Do you hear me?!"

"Sigh, but..." Lin Xiao began, attempting one last, feeble protest, but his beautiful and domineering Master cut him off sharply,

"A disciple is not allowed to talk back to their Master! Just do as I say!"

"Yes! Understood! Tomorrow at the Sword Tomb—we'll drain the pond to get all the fish!" Lin Xiao nodded with a solemn expression, all but snapping a salute.

After the plans for the next day's Sword Tomb trial were settled, Su Mei departed first. The master and her three disciples then had dinner together.
