Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Their eyes met, but they shook their heads, having found nothing.

"Yuyan... actually..."

Seeing Yuyan\'s expression growing heavier, Yanran finally couldn\'t help but reveal her thoughts.

Last night, considering helping Gu Wanglan buy time, she hadn\'t told Yuyan about Yino\'s true whereabouts.

But Yanran hadn\'t expected that the Immortal ship flew too slowly last night. By the time Chen Jianxin reached Wuji Sect, it was already dawn. Although Gu Wanglan now had Chen Jianxin under control, he planned to wait until tonight\'s blood moon for the sacrifice.

Now, Yuyan had thoroughly searched the entire Northern Luo Snow Mountain.

If Yanran wanted to continue delaying her until late night, she could only reveal the truth and guide Yuyan towards Western Province City.

"Senior, I actually have an idea," Yuyan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised her eyebrows and spoke softly.

She turned to look in the direction of Wuji Sect and took a sharp breath: "Do you think there\'s a possibility that Yino left earlier than the other disciples last night, so he\'s been waiting for me at Ranmo Peak all along?" Upon hearing this, Yanran immediately broke into a cold sweat.

"This... is indeed possible..."

Her beautiful eyes wavered, but out of concern for her junior sister, she first affirmed Yuyan\'s guess.

However, Yanran then added:

"But! Although I didn\'t find any trace of Yino on the west side just now, I think I found some suspicious footprints about ten kilometers from Western Province City!"

"Suspicious footprints?"

Instantly, Yuyan\'s beautiful eyes widened, looking at Yanran with some urgency.

Yanran\'s lips twitched slightly, but she continued to make up stories: "So, why don\'t we go to Western Province City first? There\'s also an Immortal Alliance branch there. When we search for disciples in the name of our Wuji Sect, the Immortal Alliance members stationed in Western Province City will surely help us look for people!"

"That makes sense."

Now that Yino had been missing for almost a day, Yuyan was desperate for any lead. Although she couldn\'t imagine how Yino could have flown to Western Province City, a hundred miles away, in one night without leaving any footprints.

But since the person was already gone, having a little clue was better than just worrying!

"In that case, I\'ll trouble Senior to make another trip to Western Province City!" Yuyan said resignedly, pressing her lips slightly.

Yanran finally felt relieved and nodded in agreement.

But just as she was about to turn around, she found Yuyan walking in the opposite direction--

"Wait, aren\'t you coming with me to Western Province City?"

"I want to go back to Ranmo Peak to check first. Maybe Yino has already returned and is waiting for me. It might just be a misunderstanding?"

"Uh..."

For a moment, Yanran was at a loss for words.

She stared into Yuyan\'s eyes, pondered for a moment, and ultimately chose to trust Jinyue\'s plan.

After all...

Jinyue hadn\'t asked Yanran to help divert Yuyan; this was all Yanran\'s own wishful thinking.

Now, even if Yuyan returned to Wuji Sect, it shouldn\'t affect Jinyue\'s plan to kill Chen Jianxin!

"Alright, alright, then I\'ll go to Western Province City first to check."

Yanran smiled slightly and bid farewell to Yuyan.

…

"Hah..."

"Why hasn\'t Senior Yuyan returned yet?"

"Young Master is really something, being so secretive every day. He won\'t tell me anything when I ask, always saying he\'ll reveal everything when the time is right..."

"He just knows how to feed me empty promises! Forget about revealing anything, he hasn\'t even confessed to me yet!"

"He even kissed me last night!"

"Sigh..."

"I wonder when Young Master will truly open his heart to me…"

At the top of Ranmo Peak, a green-robed young girl sat bored on a stone platform in the small courtyard.

On the stone table in front of her, a green mantis was crawling towards a small cicada. The girl rested her arms on the table, a small tuft of light white hair drooping down from the top of her head, her clear jade-like eyes staring blankly as she yawned.

Just as the mantis was about to catch the small cicada, a yellow bird suddenly swooped down from the sky. With just a chirp, the yellow bird snatched the cicada from under the mantis\'s sickle-like forelegs. The mantis, angered, waved its forelegs chasing after the yellow bird.

But the yellow bird circled around Yunjin, and after swallowing the cicada in its mouth, it dove down from beside Yunjin, leaving only half of the mantis\'s body with one peck.

In an instant, Yunjin was startled and quickly sat up, fanning away the dust raised by the yellow bird.

She looked up, following the trail of the departing yellow bird, but suddenly noticed a starry silhouette of a woman in white in the distant horizon--

"Senior Sister?!"

Yunjin rubbed her eyes, and after confirming the other\'s identity, she quickly sat up.

She recalled the task Yino had entrusted to her this morning, and her heart couldn\'t help but tense up. Her previously bored face quickly changed to an expression of worry and unease.

In just a moment, with a gust of cold wind, the beautiful girl in a white dress and black stockings descended on her sword in front of Yunjin--

"Yunjin? Why are you here?"

"Cough! Cough cough--!"

Yunjin\'s eyes were forced shut by the gust of cold wind.

At that moment, Yuyan noticed her own lack of composure and quickly raised her hand to summon another breeze, instantly cleaning the dust around Yunjin. "Yunjin, weren\'t you with Yino? Where is he?"

Yuyan spoke quickly, staring intently at the young girl.

Under her scrutiny, Yunjin couldn\'t help but tremble. The little girl who had never lied from childhood to now, never thought that the first person she would lie to would be her most respected senior sister! However...

Yunjin remembered how serious Yino\'s expression was, as if it was a matter of life and death. She couldn\'t help but tell herself that this wasn\'t lying!

Perhaps Yunjin just didn\'t understand the situation, and Yino was really caught up in some kind of crisis with undercurrents, so he had no choice but to have Yunjin relay the message to Yuyan.

Thinking of this, Yunjin immediately clenched her small fists and said firmly--

"Senior Sister!!!"

"Last night, Young Master and I were investigating clues in Northern Snow Village, but as we were walking, I turned around and found that Young Master had disappeared!"

"Later, I searched everywhere for Young Master, but in the end, I received a pigeon message--"

"After reading the contents of the letter, I didn\'t think much about it. I borrowed a horse from the snow village last night and rode hard through the night to return to Ranmo Peak to wait for you!"

Yunjin was a bit unsure at first, but as she spoke, she became more emotionally invested. Thinking of all the dangers she had experienced with Yino these days, by the end, the young girl was almost crying in front of Yuyan.

Yuyan naturally didn\'t doubt what Yunjin said.

"Yino\'s letter? Let me see"

"It\'s here!"

Yunjin sniffled, wiping her tears in a practiced manner, then took out the yellow envelope Yino had entrusted to her from her bosom.

Yuyan took the letter and opened it to read, but her cold beautiful face gradually turned pale and uneasy.

In this letter, Yino said he had discovered clues left by cultists in the snow village, so he tracked them under the cover of night. Somehow, he accidentally triggered some kind of teleportation mechanism, and now Yino was infiltrating the cultists\' headquarters...

Yino said that since he was already there, it was too good an opportunity to pass up. He didn\'t plan to return. If he discovered the truth or was in danger of being exposed, he would use the jade pendant to contact Yuyan!

At that time, through the jade pendant, Yino could coordinate with Yuyan from the inside and outside, joining forces to eliminate this cult headquarters that had destroyed the snow village!

At the end of this letter, Yino had even thoughtfully drawn a cartoon character making a peace sign and smiling, saying something like "Senior Sister, don\'t worry! This time, I\'m determined to succeed in the snow village mission. I definitely won\'t disappoint you again!"

"This brat--!!!"

Reading to the end, Yuyan\'s delicate body trembled. She could no longer control her long-suppressed emotions and suddenly crumpled the letter in her hand, throwing it violently to the ground.

Beside her, Yunjin was also frightened, lowering her head and trembling slightly.

For so many years, ever since Yuyan brought Yunjin back to Wuji Sect, in Yunjin\'s eyes, Yuyan had always been mysterious, serious, whose face showed no emotional fluctuations.

She never thought that a casually written letter from Yino could make Yuyan lose control of her emotions in an instant.

Thinking of this, Yunjin became even more afraid.

Because when Yino entrusted her with the task, he gave almost no context. Yunjin didn\'t know the severity of the situation. She never expected that when this letter reached Yuyan\'s hands, her senior sister would break down like this!
