302 My Illustrated Handbook Is Activated, I’m Not Playing Anymore!

“From now on, you are the follower I transferred from the outer sect. This is your identity token.”

After putting on her clothes, Wei Feiyan, who was kneeling on the futon, had a serious expression on her face. She reached out and handed over a wooden token.

The ends of her hair were still a little wet, and her long black hair fell on one side of her shoulder. Her light green and white clothes were not very neat on her body, and some of the water-red fabric could be vaguely seen, making her look a little charming.

Logically speaking, with her current cultivation level, using spiritual energy to dry clothes was a very simple matter. From this, it could be seen that she was really very flustered just now, so much so that she had not recovered until now.

Liu Yuan, who also found a futon to sit on, took it and looked at it. It was similar to the identity token that most sects would give out. It was about a finger long and engraved with the name ‘Du Ze’ and the word ‘Outer’. However, the Mythical Flame Sect’ identity token was made of lightning-struck sycamore wood, which was very hard and fire-resistant.

“Why do you have an outer sect disciple’s identity token here, and you can even give it to me directly, where is this person called Du Ze?” Liu Yuan asked in surprise.

It was very unusual for an outstanding inner-sect female disciple of the Mythical Flame Sect to be able to find an outer-sect male disciple’s identity token from her room and give it to someone else.

He felt like he had found out something incredible.

Wei Feiyan looked to the side with an unnatural expression, “There’s no such person.”

Liu Yuan hung the wooden token on his waist, paused, and slowly said, “You didn’t kill him, right?”

A sect like Mythical Flame Sect, which had very perverted rules, was like a high school in modern society, where dating was strictly forbidden. It was very easy for problems to arise. There were definitely many who developed in secret, and when they were discovered, they would go their separate ways. Some might even be ruthless enough to kill them.

When he was still learning skills in the Mythical Flame Sect, he had taken on this kind of mission to clean up the sect and investigate the disciples who had violated the sect rules. Although he would not be killed directly, he would definitely be expelled from the sect.

What was worse was that for the players of the Mythical Flame Sect, this kind of mission… It was like a monthly occurrence.

Wei Feiyan could tell what the other party was thinking just by listening to his subtle tone. She frowned and put on a straight face, “No, it’s not what you think.”

Liu Yuan looked at her expression and felt that his words were indeed a little offensive. With her very serious and serious character, he thought that his joke had gone too far, so he apologized.

Wei Feiyan was a little surprised. In her original impression, Liu Yuan, or Jiang Feng, was a somewhat cynical and even arrogant person who had a vague ‘contempt’ and even ‘disdain’ for everything.

Furthermore, he had been hunted down and killed by three Form Synthesis stage elders of the Jade Mirage Sect on the Spirit Transformation River. Now that he was able to sneak into the Mythical Flame Sect without a sound, his cultivation was probably not something someone like her could guess. If he wanted to, he did not have to worry about what she thought.

However, after Liu Yuan’s appearance this time, he broke her fixed impression of him again and again.

First, he clearly had the opportunity to effectively use despicable methods to threaten her, but he did not do it. Now, he was apologizing… This person seemed to have changed a lot compared to four months ago.

Wei Feiyan was very sure of her own thoughts. If it was Jiang Feng from four months ago, he would have resorted to even more unscrupulous means at this time.

But even now… It was too shameless of him to appear when someone was bathing.

She shook her head, hiding the unspoken criticism in her heart, and explained, “If the person is missing or dead, of course, the token can’t be used… This identity token is made by me a few days ago when I went to the outer sect to investigate the affair of a disciple who committed adultery.”

Oh, so she was out on her monthly routine.

“No one else knows that this identity is fake?” Liu Yuan played with the wooden token.

Wei Feiyan said, “No, I’m collecting evidence for a Junior Sister. It’s not a simple matter. It’s the work of a spy of the Jile Sect, so the more careful we are, the better. I didn’t have time to destroy the wooden token after I came back, so I’ll give it to you now.”

Liu Yuan nodded his head. The Jile Sect was the sworn enemy of the Mythical Flame Sect. It was normal for them to find a spy.

“but then again, won’t you attract any criticism if you suddenly have a male follower?”

“Although our Mythical Flame Sect strictly prohibits marriage and has the rule of killing all promiscuous people, we are not at the point where we would turn everyone into an enemy or create something out of nothing. As long as you act like a good follower, you will naturally be fine. Furthermore, you will not be here all the time.” Wei Feiyan sighed sincerely and continued, “I must have been bewitched to help you.”

She felt that she shouldn’t have agreed so easily, but he had taken the initiative to retreat and showed a pitiful look that had no way to retreat. She thought about it and thought that if he had forced his way into the forbidden area, it might be a greater loss for the sect, so she might as well believe him this time.

In the end, it had become like this.

However, she did not know that people from Liu Yuan’s original world always liked to compromise. For example, if you said that the room was too dark and you had to open a window here, no one would allow it. However, if you wanted to tear down the roof, they would mediate and be willing to open the window.

In fact, it was not only applicable to Liu Yuan’s world. It could be applied to anyone. First, they would make a more excessive request as a control group, and then they would make a less excessive request that might be rejected under normal circumstances. This way, the other party would think about it and hesitate. Instead of doing this, they would not lose out a little, and it would be easier to achieve their goal.

In front of Liu Yuan, who was proficient in using this technique, a newbie like Wei Feiyan obviously had not realized that something was wrong before she was trapped.

“Then I have to thank you for not killing me.” Liu Yuan cupped his hands. It was the tactfulness of a conquering strategist to quit while he was ahead. He turned and said, “Since that’s the case, the issue of identity can be considered settled. Tell me about the opponents you’ll be facing in this Fire Awarding Ceremony. I’ll think about it and give you on-the-spot guidance.”

Before Wei Feiyan could react, she was grabbed by the wrist. She subconsciously struggled for a while and heard Liu Yuan say, “Don’t move. Cooperate with me. I’ll understand your limits first… Oh, it’s the depth of one’s cultivation base that makes it easier to formulate battle tactics.”

Why are you explaining?!

Wei Feiyan felt that something was wrong, and his cultivation level… Isn’t it more appropriate to just show it than to describe it?

However, his spiritual power followed her meridians and circulated in a regular manner. He was indeed carefully examining the level of her cultivation, just like how her master taught him on a daily basis. She gradually relaxed.

Liu Yuan retracted his hand and went through what he had found. He also pointed out some small mistakes in her cultivation.

Wei Feiyan had a good foundation. She was hardworking and down-to-earth, and her talent was excellent. Otherwise, she would not have been able to rank tenth on the Singing Sword Ranking. She was quite famous among the younger generation, and was known as the ‘Red Phoenix’.

Although Liu Yuan’s original Mythical Flame Sect cultivation technique was not very good, with his current cultivation of the Soul Formation stage, he was more than capable of guiding a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator like Wei Feiyan.

Wei Feiyan also shared information about her opponents for Liu Yuan to record and analyze. A deal was thus made.

As there was still some time before the Fire Awarding Ceremony, Liu Yuan followed Wei Feiyan in disguise for the next few days to get familiar with the other disciples.

Until the night before the ceremony.

Wei Feiyan, who was meditating as usual, suddenly opened her eyes and took out her identity card. She said in surprise, “My Master is back!”

Just as she stood up, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. Her face turned pale. Her Master would sense that she was with a man. She could not hide the matter between her and Liu Yuan. This was bad!

Liu Yuan, who was napping on the futon next to her, opened his eyes. He knew about Wei Feiyan’s Master these few days. She was the senior Sister of the current Sect Master of the Mythical Flame Sect and an elder at the peak of the Form Synthesis stage, ‘Fire in Red Robes’ Xu Ping. She was very experienced and rarely seen. She was often traveling outside.

The speed of the Form Synthesis stage cultivators was very fast. Wei Feiyan quickly said, “You can continue to pretend to be asleep…”

Before she could finish her sentence, a fiery red light flashed in the courtyard outside the door, and a woman’s voice shouted, “Feiyan! Come out! And the man in your room!”

At this moment, Liu Yuan suddenly froze. He then called out the Illustrated Handbook interface with a dumbfounded expression…

One of his illustrations had been activated.
