303 You Can’t Be Together
F*ck! Holy f*ck!
Liu Yuan’s face was filled with confusion. He could not understand the current situation.
Wasn’t this the Mythical Flame Sect that wished for everyone to be single? This was the place that was the least likely for him to activate his Illustrated Handbook, because the characters in this sect, regardless of gender, were not open to being conquered!
He had never challenged and conquered any character in the Mythical Flame Sect, so how could the Illustrations have been activated?
He was now in the inner sect of the Mythical Flame Sect. The activated Illustrations covered a radius of about a thousand feet. The surrounding area was filled with dormitories that outsiders were not allowed to enter. No one from other sects would come in. Furthermore, Liu Yuan had not heard of anyone from other sects coming in these few days!
Such a coincidental timing made Liu Yuan realize that the person who activated the Illustrated Handbook could only be the woman who was in the courtyard, asking him and Wei Feiyan to come out!
This was the only explanation.
The woman outside the door was Wei Feiyan’s Master who had just returned from a trip. She was ‘Fire in Red Robes’ Xu Ping, the Senior Sister of the Mythical Flame Sect’s Sect Master, and an Elder at the peak of the Form Synthesis stage. He had once courted her and gained her favorability!
“How is this possible? F*ck this! I want to file a complaint! There’s a bug in this game!”
Liu Yuan frantically dialed Shangyang’s customer service hotline in his mind, but unfortunately, the complaint from another plane could not be accepted. He could only think about how he would beat up the game company’s producers and staff if he could break through the void one day and transmigrate back.
Why did they set up so many traps?
He glared at the Illustration Handbook page and scanned the activated card. He gritted his teeth and said, “This must be a conspiracy planned by the game…”

“????” Liu Yuan slowly typed out a series of question marks.
The God of Conquering Strategy suspected that he had taken the wrong card. However, after opening and closing the details interface three times, he finally had to admit that he had not taken the wrong card. The activated card was named ‘Xu Shibing’.
This was clearly a ranger character that he had conquered in the Far East Sea map… Wait a minute, Xu Ping who traveled outside all year round… She was the elusive ranger?
“Jiang… Liu Yuan, are you alright?” Wei Feiyan asked carefully from the side.
She watched helplessly as Liu Yuan’s face quickly turned dark after hearing the cold shouts from outside. He acted out all the emotions of confusion, confusion, doubt, and anger. There was a trace of panic and panic in his complicated emotions. She thought to herself that things were really not good this time.
Although the person in front of her was also very strong and could even be said to be the strongest person of her age that she had ever seen, no matter how strong he was, he could not possibly go against her Master, who was an Elder of the Mythical Flame Sect!
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Liu Yuan took a deep breath. He was a little dizzy from the shocking truth, but after calming down, he realized that things were actually very easy to understand.
He had already experienced being tricked by the charming Netherworld once. The card surface could be fake to let the players put their subjective impression into it. Only what they really saw and felt was real.
In that case, could it be that Xu Ping had created an alias for himself called ‘Xu Shibing’ when she was out traveling, just like how ‘Jiang Feng’ was to Liu Yuan?
Xu Ping, Xu Ping, Xu, Shi, and, Xu Shibing!
Liu Yuan’s heart brightened. That’s right, as a member of the Mythical Flame Sect and an Elder who was the role model for young people, she could not let the news of her contact with men spread. Hence, she simply hid her identity and disguised herself as Xu Shibing.
Gradually, this sockpuppet gained a certain reputation as she traveled, and then became a real character with the nickname ‘Book and Sword in Song’.
As a result, in the eyes of the players, the character’s card face was formed.
It was the same for Liu Yuan. He also only saw Xu Shibing’s character, so… It was a smooth conquering process.
In other words, the Xu Shibing he had targeted was actually Xu Ping!
He finished his analysis in a flash, calmed down, and then did something that almost scared Wei Feiyan out of his wits-he removed the mirror moon Jade’s disguise.
Previously, after Liu Yuan had obtained the identity token, he had been disguising himself with the face that Wei Feiyan had given him. Now, he waved his hand to break the illusion and revealed his original face.
“Are you crazy?” Wei Feiyan cried out in shock.
He was still wanted by the Jade Mirage Sect! If her Master saw this, she would kill him!
Liu Yuan did not think for long, and the act of removing his disguise had exhausted the last chance to escape. The woman who had been waiting in the courtyard did not have much patience. Seeing that her disciple, who had always been obedient, still had not come out of the room after she had called out a few times, she flicked her sleeve and a strong wind swept the door open.
Bang!
“Feiyan! Good, good, good, you’ve really grown up. You actually dare to disobey your Master…”
Xu Ping’s voice stopped abruptly as he saw a man and a woman in the room.
The woman had nothing to say. She was the disciple she had watched grow up. Now, her face was pale and slightly trembling as she knelt down in front of her. The other man looked very familiar. Under the dim light in the room, his eyebrows and eyes could be said to be handsome. His long white hair hung down loosely, and he was looking at her with a calm gaze.
Liu Yuan was looking at her, but at the same time, he was not really looking at her.
Xu Ping was wearing a crimson gauze dress, the bright red sleeves fluttering like flames. Inside was a black cheongsam, the curly hair of an oriental beauty outlining the curves of her body. The white chiffon lantern thin pants faintly revealed the color of her flesh. Her face was extremely invasive beauty, and her long black hair was tied into a bun by a red hairpin.
It was very beautiful, but at this moment, it only attracted Liu Yuan for a moment.
He was looking at the card interface.
The face of Xu Shibing’s card, when he saw Xu Ping, began to distort like the Netherworld card before, turning into a completely different card.

Wei Feiyan, who was cowering at the side, saw that her Master suddenly became silent and stared at Liu Yuan’s face. She was very anxious and felt that her master was definitely going to kill him to seek justice for all the women in the world!
“Master, it’s… It’s not what you think. He did it for… for…”
Wei Feiyan was in a hurry and could not say it out loud. Could it be that the other party was here for the forbidden area? This seemed even more inappropriate!
Xu Ping came back to her senses and looked at Liu Yuan with a complicated expression. She had never thought that things would turn out like this. After they parted that year, they met again in such a situation. However, no matter how turbulent her heart was, she could not show it now.
She… She was the one who started it first… No, she could not let her disciple be expelled from the sect and have her cultivation and bright future destroyed!
“I understand.” Xu Ping’s face was cold as she said very slowly, “You two can’t be together.”
