Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Sorry for the mistake, i fixed the privous chapter.

"Yuyan, how come I didn't realize before that you were so spiteful?"

Walking down the path in the snowy forest, Yanran spoke out of curiosity, raising an eyebrow as she glanced at the cheerful woman in white beside her.

Yuyan opened her eyes and gave a faint smile.

"Since Chen Jianxin is so eager to learn, I'm just pointing him in the right direction."

"Come on, you know Chen Jianxin harbors a grudge against Yino."

Yanran shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

Since the Mo family was wiped out when she was nine, Yanran hadn't seen Yuyan show such a range of emotions.

In her memories, Yuyan always kept to herself on Ranmo Peak. Every day she either trained with her sword, played chess, or sat alone in her room, poring over the old chess manuals her father left behind before he died.

But Yanran knew that Yuyan never really liked chess and had no talent for battle formations. She clearly didn't understand much, yet she locked herself away and stubbornly studied for so many years.

Over the years, Yuyan only came out occasionally for important missions from the sect leader. Even then, she was almost always indifferent to everyone, brushing people off whenever she could.

Not to mention the way she was humiliated Chen Jianxin today with her cunning.

In the past, even if Yuyan noticed problems with Chen Jianxin's swordsmanship, she probably would have ignored them and avoided unnecessary fuss.

"Chen Jianxin is a once-in-a-century swordsman talent in the Wuji Sect."

"You know, the more of a genius someone is, the higher their ego tends to be..."

"Yuyan, by humiliating Chen Jianxin like this, you're making him hate Yino even more. Who knows if he'll do something extreme again like he did tonight."

As Yanran walked, she spoke earnestly.

At her words, the fairy in white froze for a moment.

But after thinking it over, she crossed her arms and gave a dismissive hum.

"If he attacks our fellow disciples again, I can just kill him openly... That would be great, saving us from having to deal with him challenging me every day once he masters his skills."

"Yino is your junior brother. Using him as a pawn to stir up hatred—what if one day Chen Jianxin, in a fit of rage, stabs him from behind..."

Yanran continued chatting casually.

But this time, before she could finish her sentence, Yuyan beside her suddenly stopped walking.

"What's wrong?"

Yanran raised an eyebrow, curious, and turned to look back.

A cold wind blew through the night, making the Yuyan's hair flutter. Her moonlit eyes flashed with a hint of chill.

"You have a point. Instead of causing a tragedy, it might be easier for me to take out Chen Jianxin tonight."

Yuyan spoke up coldly, her tone serious and not joking.

Before she could turn around, Yanran quickly grabbed her.

"Oh! This is just a hypothetical scenario. Besides, you're now the senior sister of the Sect. You can't just kill our Wuji Sect's future sword talent without reason. How would other cultivators think of us?"

"I don't care what the world thinks..."

"Just think about our sect's reputation. Don't kill Chen Jianxin."

Under the night sky, the immortal in the black dress pleaded gently.

Although the organization's mission was to eliminate the prophesied child, if Yuyan became the murderer, she would bear the blame alone. Yanran preferred to go against the organization's wishes rather than let Yuyan take the fall.

After a moment of silence, Yuyan slowly sheathed the Frost Chant Sword she was holding.

"But what if Chen Jianxin really does kill Yino?"

She looked worried.

Yanran was both annoyed and amused. For a moment, she realized that although Yuyan's swordsmanship had surpassed her, her mindset was still that of the simple, single-minded girl she used to know.

"I already said it was just a hypothetical!"

"Not to mention, Yino is your disciple. Whether Chen Jianxin can beat him is still up in the air!"

"Besides, Yino is still wearing the jade pendant you gave him. How could a disciple at the Qi Refinement stage kill him right under your nose?"

Yanran tried to calm her down like talking to a child.

After several explanations and thoughts, Yuyan finally nodded subtly, feeling more at ease.

"That's true. I did teach Yino. Even though he's a bit flirtatious and pervert, his sword skills are definitely much better than the mediocre Chen Jianxin's."

After all, Yino was one of the few chesses masters Yuyan had found over the years. If something happened to him, Yuyan would be stuck spending her days alone playing chess again. That's why she had given Yino the jade pendant at the Grand Tutor's Mansion in the first place.

"Wait..."

Suddenly, Yuyan stopped walking again, her cold eyes raising slightly as a bead of sweat trickled down her face.

Thinking about the pendant, she realized something was off in her memories.

If she remembered correctly, when she was talking to Yino at the hot spring camp, the boy wasn't wearing a red string or jade pendant! Instead, the red string jade pendant she remembered seemed to be on the chest of the white-haired girl beside Yino!

Yino, when you head to Northern Luo Snow Mountain this time, make sure to protect Yunjin...

Unconsciously, Yuyan thought of the instructions she had given Yino on Ranmo Peak.

At this, Yuyan widened her beautiful eyes.

She took a deep breath, feeling just as annoyed and amused as Yanran.

"This idiot! I asked him to protect Yunjin in the snow village, and he actually gave my jade pendant to someone else?"

At her words, Yanran turned around in surprise, unable to imagine such a strange twist.

"So, you're saying Yino gave the life-saving jade pendant you gave him to another girl?" she carefully probed.

"I told you he's ridiculous! I asked him to protect Yunjin, and he just handed my pendant to someone else!"

Yuyan laughed in frustration, the white cloth covering her chest trembling slightly with her breath.

Yanran didn't dare speak, only watching Yuyan's rapidly changing emotions with a sense of relief deep inside.

Now, she vaguely understood what Jinyue had said last night.

Yino was truly amazing in a way that's hard to describe. At least...

He had only spent half a month on Ranmo Peak, and he had already made the stoic Yuyan show such a wide range of emotions.

This alone was something Yanran hadn't been able to achieve in ten years!

"Senior, you can go ahead and investigate the cultists' clues in Northern Luo Snow Mountain. I think this little perv still needs some training..."

Yuyan snorted coldly, gripping her sword, and walked back toward the camp.

Yanran watched her back and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Yuyan, you're already the senior sister of Wuji Sect. Don't take things too seriously. Yino is also protecting Yunjin. At least his intentions are good."

"I know!"

Yuyan replied firmly and quickly disappeared into the snowy night.

Under the starry sky, Yanran looked up at the moon alone, feeling a mix of emotions.

"Unknowingly, it's almost dawn."

"As Jinyue said, tonight's plan fell apart again..."

She murmured to herself, recalling the events of the night. Although she felt somewhat satisfied, the plan's failure added more pressure deep inside her. Yanran stood alone in the snow, lost in thought for a long time.

Until, beside her, a foxgirl emerged from the shadows of the forest.

"Jinyue, you clearly had the chance to kill Chen Jianxin directly. Why didn't you?"

"You saw him after he went berserk. He was too terrifying, and I couldn't defeat him," the foxgirl replied absentmindedly, her foxy tail swaying behind her.

"Is that so?"

Yanran looked back with a mocking tone.

"A prominent Nine Heavens Cloud Fox, also the Pleasure Demon, with unmatched illusion skills, can't even defeat a budding prophesied child?"

At her words, Jinyue's frivolous expression stiffened instantly.

Yanran and Jinyue faced off again in the blizzard.

After a moment of silence, the foxgirl's seductive eyes showed blood-red patterns once more.

"Yanran, you suspect me?"

"Using illusions again? Are you feeling guilty?"
