The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

Divine Phoenix Peak, the guest reception hall.

Lin Xiao stepped into the hall.

With a glance, he saw a silver-haired, dignified purple-robed old man standing in the heart of the hall. This was none other than Elder Gu, the Elder in Charge of the Pill Workshop.

To one side of the main hall stood three beautiful young women, each with a unique charm and an ethereal, fairy-like aura. They were, naturally, his three Junior Sisters: Yurong, Youwei, and Yingying.

At the head of the hall, on the Chairman's seat, a woman with loose black hair and a noble, exquisite face was propping her chin on one hand. Her beautiful legs were crossed lazily, and she yawned repeatedly as she listened to the old man's report.

Remarkably, it was his Master, Xiao Hongling, renowned as the foremost beauty in the Eastern Region.

Tsk, Master's figure is always so top-notch, no matter when I see it!

In terms of her chest, she might be slightly inferior to Martial Uncle Su and about on par with Junior Sister Yurong, but these legs... they're absolutely peerless, in all of heaven and earth!

Although he had serious matters to attend to, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

He involuntarily recalled that night in the Lotus Cave Mansion when, taking advantage of his Master's drunken state, he had done something truly audacious...

After all, I, Lin Xiao, am a fine young man who received nine years of compulsory education and had an excellent upbringing!

But that day, watching those alluring, snow-white legs swaying back and forth...

I couldn't hold back. I simply couldn't.

It was no exaggeration to say that if he hadn't been worried about the theft of the Heavenly Extreme Black Lotus being exposed and affecting the plot's development, he truly could have forgotten himself and passionately kissed his way down her calf...

Lin Xiao's thoughts drifted.

His already formidable Formless Sword Body also seemed to grow even more firm and resilient.

Pah! Lin Xiao, you're getting too into character! Your Master raised you from childhood in this life! She even bathed you when you were little!

A man cannot—absolutely should not!

He quickly snapped himself out of his reverie.

It was at that precise moment...

He suddenly realized...

Everyone in the main hall—his Junior Sisters, his Master, Elder Gu, and even the stewards at the entrance—was staring at him!

The gazes of his Third Junior Sister Youwei and Second Junior Sister Yurong were particularly complex!

Lin Xiao, of course, knew what they were thinking now.

Yurong fainted from exhaustion last night from my tentacles... Pfft! I mean, my Divine Skill vines. Her mask was also scratched open by me. She must have woken up full of questions, right?

As for Youwei, that substitute talisman I used last night only worked for two minutes. After realizing she was tricked, she's probably quite resentful towards me, huh?

Oh well, I'm supposed to be the villain anyway! Being angry is the right reaction!

Lin Xiao consoled himself inwardly.

"Ahem..."

Suddenly, he cleared his throat, stepped forward, and said, "Disciple pays his respects to Master and Elder Gu."

"Xiao'er, why are you so late? Were you perhaps idling away your time somewhere last night again?" Xiao Hongling's long eyelashes fluttered slightly as she lazily raised her eyelids to look at her beloved disciple.

"I dare not hide anything from Master. It was cold last night, and Disciple was worried Third Junior Sister might catch a chill, so I went to the Tianyin Refinery myself to deliver some chicken soup to Youwei!" Lin Xiao said with a perfectly composed expression.

The current situation was unfolding exactly as it did in the original story!

Elder Gu had discovered that the Bodhi Real Essence Pill was missing, so he had come to Divine Phoenix Peak to hold them accountable.

Therefore, this move of his was almost like intentionally leaving evidence of his crime!

Next, his Third Junior Sister, Chu Youwei, would be the one accused. In her anger, she would expose the truth about the substitute puppet from last night!

However, as he saw the plot progressing as expected, a sense of melancholy welled up in Lin Xiao's heart.

He knew...

Deep down, he truly didn't want to become enemies with his Third Junior Sister and confront her publicly!

The moment Lin Xiao's gaze fell upon Chu Youwei, she had already taken a step forward and declared, "Master, not only did Eldest Senior Brother bring heartwarming chicken soup last night, but he also stayed up all night with Weiwei. That's why he was late. Please, Master, do not blame him!"

As she spoke, Guo Yourong and Lu Yingying beside her pouted, their faces tinged with jealousy.

Lin Xiao, however, was completely stunned!

This wasn't right!

Could it be that Elder Gu hadn't made his move yet?

At this moment, from the Chairman's seat above, the most powerful beauty in the Eastern Region's Cultivation World parted her red lips and said softly, "Xiao'er, Elder Gu came today to commend our Divine Phoenix Peak, especially Youwei, for her performance at yesterday's Elixir Refining Lecture."

"Furthermore, to reward you all, he has specially brought four third-grade treasure pills, Golden Silkworm Solid Source Pills. These pills will undoubtedly be of great assistance to you in the upcoming Five Branches Martial Arts Competition, allowing you to dominate."

With that, she waved her hand.

Four stewards, each carrying a jade platter holding a thumb-sized golden pill, walked before the four Direct Disciples of Divine Phoenix Peak.

What the—

This... what kind of plot twist was this?

Turns out, this old man had come to express his gratitude?

Shouldn't he have already discovered that the Bodhi Real Essence Pill had been stolen?

Lin Xiao felt numb all over. Only when a steward prompted him did he, with a trembling arm, accept the Golden Silkworm Solid Source Pill.

"Disciples, why haven't you thanked Elder Gu yet?" Xiao Hongling said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Gu!"

Seeing his three Junior Sisters rise to offer their thanks, Lin Xiao could only follow suit, cupping his hands and saying casually, "Many thanks, Elder Fly... Oh, no, I mean, Elder Gu!"

"Hehe, no need for such politeness, Martial Nephews," Elder Gu chuckled, full of praise. "I was away on business during yesterday's Elixir Refining Lecture. It was entirely thanks to Martial Nephew Chu and Chief Lin for maintaining order. Especially Youwei; she stayed up all night in the Alchemy Tower, tending the fire and adding fuel, without the slightest mistake. Truly remarkable."

"Among the Direct Disciples of the five main peaks, when it comes to elixir refining, she is the one I have the highest hopes for."

"Elder Gu, you flatter me. Youwei is overwhelmed," Chu Youwei said, curtsying gracefully, her etiquette impeccable.

Lin Xiao, standing beside them, was utterly bewildered!

Old Gu, what the hell are you spouting all this nonsense for!

What about the main point!

The Bodhi Real Essence Pill is gone, and you're not going to mention it at all!

"Alright, I have conveyed my intentions. I shall not disturb you further."

"Farewell!"

With that, Elder Gu turned and walked towards the exit without a backward glance. Just as he was about to depart in a streak of Escape Light, Lin Xiao could no longer hold back and rushed forward!

"Elder Gu! You... you can't leave!"

Seeing this side plot about to collapse, Lin Xiao couldn't care about appearances anymore. He grabbed the elder's sleeve and gritted his teeth, "Elder Gu! Think carefully, isn't there something you've forgotten to say?"

"Hmm?" Elder Gu raised a white eyebrow, his face a mask of confusion, "Martial Nephew Lin, what... what do you mean by that?"

Damn it, you still couldn't remember?

Seeing this key NPC's memory malfunctioning, Lin Xiao grew anxious. Using a secret technique for one-on-one sound transmission, he said, "Hey, Elder Gu, do you remember that Bodhi Real Essence Pill in the Pill Chamber, the one meant for the Six Holy Beings of Mount Taicang?"

"Ah." Elder Gu paused, then nodded. "Of course, I remember. What about it?"

Damn, this NPC isn't senile, is he?

There was no other way; the NPC's character had collapsed to this extent...

He, the White Wolf King, could only expose himself to force the plot back on track!

Lin Xiao abruptly thrust his hand into his inner pocket, only to find—

It was empty!

What the f*ck! Where was that huge Bodhi Real Essence Pill I put in here?

At that instant, Lin Xiao's eyes bulged wide. He felt his blood run cold. He stumbled back several steps, nearly falling!

This usually optimistic and dedicated arch-villain of the Qinglan Sect could no longer muster any optimism!

The most dreadful thing was when the air suddenly fell silent...

After a long silence, Elder Gu's expression gradually changed from perplexed to furious, "Humph! Martial Nephew Lin, are you trying to deceive me with this mystifying act? If you dare to be so disrespectful again, don't force my hand!"

"Chief Xiao! I have always respected you, but I must trouble you to discipline this disciple of yours properly!"

With that, this chief alchemist Elder, who had served the Qinglan Sect for over three hundred years, angrily flicked his sleeves and soared into the sky, departing.

It's over.

Completely finished.

Who is it! Who on earth is messing with me!

Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, his heart roaring in silent agony.

"Eldest Senior Brother! What's wrong?"

Meanwhile, seeing their Eldest Senior Brother looking so dejected, the three Junior Sisters rushed over with concerned expressions, gathering around him.

However, even as his Junior Sisters held his arms, expressing their concern in various ways, Lin Xiao seemed numb, uttering not a single word.

When a person's heart was dead, they could no longer love!

"Xiao'er, have you not been resting well lately? Is your mind a bit muddled, hmm?"

Just then, a lazy female voice drifted down from the Chairman's seat above.

Lin Xiao looked up.

He saw his peerlessly beautiful Master, lounging like a seductive serpent on the wide, luxurious Chairman's seat, her full, slender legs elegantly crossed.

At this moment, watching her disciple's absurd behavior, Xiao Hongling actually found him somewhat endearingly foolish.

On the other hand, Lin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine!

He couldn't help but recall the terror of his Master forcefully performing the Sword Intent Baptism on him.

Come to think of it... Master seems far too calm today!

The last time, she inexplicably performed the Sword Intent Baptism on me, bestowing upon me the Formless Sword Body, and made me swear to kill an opponent I would encounter at the Disciple Acceptance Ceremony. I've always suspected she used some kind of divination to foresee Ye Chen's arrival at the mountain, so...

Could she also be the one who made the Bodhi Real Essence Pill I always kept on me disappear?

At this moment, Lin Xiao's mind was racing...

After deep contemplation, he decided to do something drastic!

'Nothing ventured, nothing gained!'

Tonight! He would go alone to Fairy Cliff, get to the bottom of this, and uncover the reason!

And his pretext would be—to present a pair of alluring, sexy black stockings for those peerless, beautiful legs!

His role in this story was almost over anyway. Might as well... fulfill his filial duty one last time!
