The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

So, it came down to just Yuanyi from Tiandang Peak who could compete with her, Su Mei!

Lin Xiao knew this as well.

This woman had been trying to win him over because he, Lin Xiao, had become the Martial Champion of the Five Branches, earning the favor of True Monarch Taiwu and gaining great prestige!

Not only that, but after their families were to unite by marriage, she could also leverage the reputation of Fairy Hongling, "the strongest sword cultivator in the Eastern Region." All of this would provide her with advantages in her bid to become the next Sect Leader of the Qinglan Sect!

The reason she was so obsessed with the position of Sect Leader was singular—

She wanted to find her twin sister Su Miaoyu's biological daughter!

Yes, in the original story, Su Mei's pseudo-husband, Nangong Wudao, was actually her sister's husband—her bona fide brother-in-law!

After Su Miaoyu died, Nangong Wudao disappeared with their daughter!

Before he left, Nangong Wudao told Su Mei, "As long as you become the Sect Leader of the Qinglan Sect, I will give you this child."

So, in order to fulfill her sister's dying wish.

Over two hundred years ago, Su Mei fled alone from the Hehuan Sect, came to the Qinglan Sect to become a disciple, and step by step, worked her way up to her current position as Chairman of Phoenix Caw Peak!

As for Nangong Wudao, he was the main antagonist throughout the early and middle stages of the "Emperor" storyline!

Compared to him, Yuanyi, the Sky Yin Blood Demon, and the Eight Great Demon Sects were all just trash!

Not only in the Eastern Region, but the conflicts between the righteous and demonic factions, as well as the dynastic wars in the Central State over the past few hundred years, were all instigated by this guy!

Even the incidents where Ye Chen's father was convicted of treason and Second Junior Sister Yurong's entire family was massacred—events that appeared to be orchestrated by the Empress of Great Zhou—were, in reality, all manipulated by Nangong Wudao from behind the scenes!

Empress Wuyue of Great Zhou was just his puppet!

And Wuyue's true identity was even more outrageously melodramatic!

She was the biological daughter of Nangong Wudao and Su Mei's sister, Su Miaoyu!

Unfortunately, when I was reading the novel in my previous life, by the time Ye Chen reached the Great Zhou map and began his revenge, the power scaling went completely off the rails. The Nascent Soul old masters, once as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, were suddenly a dime a dozen in the later stages. It became so unbearable that I dropped the novel. As a result, I never found out what Nangong Wudao's grand conspiracy truly was...

However, based on the descriptions of Su Mei's inner thoughts in the original novel, I can roughly guess that Nangong Wudao is currently holed up in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, disguised as an old eunuch!

Ah, forget it. That's all stuff for much later in the story. Besides, this part of the plot has nothing to do with me!

That's right. As long as I resolve the invasion crisis of the Eight Great Demon Sects, I'll stay with Junior Sister and Master in the Qinglan Sect. I won't descend the mountain until I achieve immortality. As for the Great Zhou map, I just won't go.

Lin Xiao snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Su Mei, who was gazing at him with a puzzled expression. "Sorry, Martial Uncle Su, I was just reminiscing about some past events."

"How about this, Martial Uncle Su? I can secretly promise you one thing."

Lin Xiao said frankly, "If I, Lin Xiao, ever truly decide to marry, I will consider Junior Sister Wanning first. As you've seen, during the three months we were trapped in the Sword Tomb Secret Realm, I... I've actually developed feelings for her!"

"Really?" Su Mei's eyes lit up, and she grasped Lin Xiao's hand, her face alight with pleasant surprise. "You mustn't lie to your Martial Uncle!"

"Of course!" Lin Xiao added smoothly, "However! I also hope Martial Uncle Su can give me something as a token of our agreement! On the day Wanning and I marry, I will surely return it to you!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Su Mei narrowed her eyes and said with interest, "I wonder which treasure from my Phoenix Caw Peak has caught my dear nephew's eye? Just tell me directly."

Lin Xiao smiled and leaned his head towards this beautiful Martial Uncle, towards her magnificent, gently heaving bosom...

"Martial Nephew, you..."

Su Mei's cheeks flushed slightly. Well-versed in the doctrines of the Hehuan Sect, she naturally understood the nature of men. Thus, she cooperatively leaned in and thrust her chest forward!

Lin Xiao, caught off guard, plunged face-first right into them!

He got a classic face-full!

"Martial Uncle Su, you..."

Lin Xiao quickly took a step back. Even as a professional lecher, he couldn't help but blush slightly under the provocative gaze of this mature beauty. "This... isn't quite appropriate," he stammered.

"You didn't have your sights set on these, did you? Naughty nephew."

Su Mei chuckled lightly, her eyes glinting flirtatiously as she asked, "Is my bosom big?"

"Big!"

Lin Xiao nodded.

After saying this, he quickly turned back to glance at the door, afraid that Zhu Wanning might burst in.

"So..." Su Mei thrust her chest out again and slipped an arm around Lin Xiao's waist. "Do you like it?"

"I like it! Oh, no, wait! I don't like it! That's not right either..."

Lin Xiao wore a conflicted expression. He composed himself and steered the conversation back on track, "Martial Uncle Su, you've probably misunderstood. What I want is the jade pendant on your chest!"

"Hmm?" Su Mei was slightly stunned. Then, she lifted the Ghost Face Jade Pendant from her neck and asked tentatively, "Do you know... the origin of this jade pendant?"

"I... I don't know!" Lin Xiao said, steeling himself. "I, your Junior, just feel that this jade pendant has a unique and beautiful design and is brimming with Spiritual Energy. It must hold some special significance. Therefore, if Martial Uncle Su could lend it to me to examine for a while, I would be extremely grateful!"

Of course, he would not say.

He certainly wouldn't reveal that this "Yin and Yang Ghost Face Jade" was the personal accessory of the Hehuan Sect's Chief Saintess!

To see the jade was to see the Chief Saintess herself!

After Su Mei's departure, the Hehuan Sect only appointed ten Guardian Saintesses; the position of Chief Saintess had remained vacant ever since!

In the original storyline, when the Eight Great Demon Sects jointly besieged the Qinglan Sect, it was Ye Chen, using this very jade pendant gifted to him by Su Mei, who managed to persuade Bai Zimei, the Hehuan Sect Saintess leading their forces, to retreat!
