Chapter 2

That night, the moonlight was cold.

Feeling the warmth of the girl in his arms, Lin Que was a little stunned.

You should know, the sect is not like the schools of the previous life, you can come and go as you please. The sect provides cultivation methods and resources, and the disciples need to offer their loyalty.

The higher the level, the deeper the binding with the sect, and the more difficult it is to leave naturally.

If it were an outer disciple, it would be fine. You just need to submit an application and pay a certain amount of spirit stones to leave. But someone like Qin Wanyuan, who is a personal disciple of an elder and has already touched the core secrets of the sect, cannot be generalized.

If she wants to leave, the best case is to have her cultivation abolished, her memory erased, and become almost a waste person.

As for escaping from the sect? That would already be considered a betrayal and would be endlessly hunted by the sect.

Otherwise, if you don’t kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, what if the sect really has an incident in the future? Wouldn’t everyone have the thought of escaping?

Lin Que didn’t quite understand Qin Wanyuan’s idea of wanting to escape from the sect. After all, although Wenjian Sect is not a top sect, it is still above average. Using the university rankings of the previous life, it is also a good first-tier university.

Moreover, the sect has neither treated Qin Wanyuan badly nor faced any major crisis. It even has a faint trend of promotion, which can be said to be thriving with a bright future.

However,

Since Qin Wanyuan was firm in this idea, she must have her reasons.

Lin Que did not rush to deny his partner, but just quietly looked at her, then gently asked, “Wanyuan, why do you propose to leave the sect? Is there some hidden reason?”

Seeing the gentleness and patience in Lin Que’s eyes, Qin Wanyuan’s eyes became even redder. She nodded and answered her most beloved person.

“Because I…”

Was reborn.

Before she could finish the second half of the sentence, Qin Wanyuan felt her throat being choked, unable to make a sound. An unprecedented panic spread throughout her body, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, unable to breathe.

The scene before her eyes also turned black and white, everything was frozen, Lin Que remained in his original posture, already fixed.

At the same time, an emotionless female voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

【The host has violated the first rule of reincarnation. This is a warning. Please note, if you violate it three times, you will be obliterated.】

Reincarnation rules? Violation? Obliteration?

Qin Wanyuan was full of doubts. Before she could think further, the black-and-white scene in front of her quickly faded, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained, causing her to collapse directly.

Lin Que quickly stepped forward to support the limp Qin Wanyuan, his face full of worry.

“What happened?” He frowned and asked with concern.

“It’s nothing… I’ve just been over-cultivating in seclusion recently… I just need a little rest.” Qin Wanyuan shook her head.

“What were you about to say just now…”

Before Lin Que could finish his sentence, Qin Wanyuan interrupted him, “Sorry, I’m all sweaty. I’ll go take a bath first. Can we talk about this later?”

“…Alright.”

After speaking, Qin Wanyuan turned and hurriedly left, heading straight to the bathhouse.

From noble mtl dot com

Watching the girl’s back, Lin Que slowly narrowed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

……

In the bathhouse, Qin Wanyuan had already taken off her clothes and immersed herself in the bath, leaving only half of her beautiful face exposed above the water.

“What exactly happened just now?”

Recalling that eerie scene, Qin Wanyuan still felt a lingering fear, and a drop of cold sweat trickled down her forehead.

Whether in her previous life or after reincarnation, it was the first time she had encountered such a strange situation and heard that cold, emotionless voice.

Yes, Qin Wanyuan was a reincarnator.

In her previous life, she had also become the personal disciple of an elder, formed a Daoist couple with Lin Que, and set a lifelong bond. Everything was very happy and perfect.

However,

Two years later, the Wenjian Sect was attacked by a group of unknown evil cultivators, nearly wiping out the entire sect.

The evil cultivators launched a surprise attack when the high-level combat forces were out, and the sect’s strength was at its weakest.

Originally, with the sect-protecting formation, the Wenjian Sect could have held off the evil cultivators until reinforcements arrived, but… there was a traitor in the sect who opened the sect-protecting formation.

The Wenjian Sect was suddenly besieged on all sides, in a precarious situation. The high-level members who stayed behind fought with all their might, but they were no match for the evil cultivators’ high-level combat forces, which were clearly more numerous than the Wenjian Sect’s elders.

It was a premeditated attack. The evil cultivators had already gathered detailed information about the Wenjian Sect, and they were clearly aiming to annihilate the entire sect.

Qin Wanyuan, Lin Que, and Qin Qian’er, along with a few close disciples, fought their way out through a bloody path. In the end, those disciples were all killed, and the weaker Qin Wanyuan and Qin Qian’er were also seriously injured.

Only Lin Que could still hold on.

To cover their escape, Lin Que stayed behind alone.

Qin Wanyuan didn’t want to leave Lin Que behind and wanted to stay with him, but Lin Que knocked her out and asked Qin Qian’er to take her away.

Before losing consciousness, Qin Wanyuan vaguely looked at his back.

That slightly thin back, at this moment, stood like a mountain, and in front of him were several evil cultivators with higher cultivation levels, grinning hideously.

“Don’t worry, I will survive and then reunite with you.”

Lin Que’s gentle voice sounded, but there was a hint of weakness in his tone.

This was the last sentence Qin Wanyuan heard.

It was also the last time she saw Lin Que.

When she woke up again, Qin Wanyuan had already been taken to a safe place by her sister Qin Qian’er. She wanted to go back to find Lin Que countless times, but was stopped by her sister.

Qin Qian’er said that her brother-in-law was so strong, he would definitely be fine. Sister, you should rest and recover, and then go find him after you are healed.

This was also the first time Qin Qian’er called Lin Que her brother-in-law.

So, Qin Wanyuan had to believe her sister’s words, believing that Lin Que would come back safely, and just as he said, he would survive and eventually reunite with them.

This wait lasted for two months, but what Qin Wanyuan waited for was not Lin Que’s return, but… the news of his death.

More accurately, it was the news that Lin Que was missing.

But in such a critical situation, missing was no different from death. Some even said that Lin Que died without a complete body and was not recognized, so he was recorded as missing.

The moment she learned this news, Qin Wanyuan ignored her sister’s objections and returned to the ruins of the Wenjian Sect.

The once prosperous sect was now in ruins, and the mountain where Lin Que was last seen had even been leveled.

Seeing the devastation and recalling Lin Que’s face, Qin Wanyuan felt the whole world collapse and shatter before her eyes.

She held a sword to her neck, wanting to join him, but was desperately stopped by Qin Qian’er.

Looking at her sister crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Qin Wanyuan was slightly stunned, and then she understood that she could not die yet, at least… not until she settled her sister and confirmed Lin Que’s true whereabouts.

So,

Qin Wanyuan took her sister and searched for a safe place in the chaotic world, while also investigating news about Lin Que.

Unfortunately, all news about Lin Que ceased after he was declared missing, as if he no longer existed in the world.

The longer time passed, the more the flame of hope in Qin Wanyuan’s heart flickered, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment.

If it weren’t for the obsession to find a safe place for her sister, she might have collapsed long ago.

In the end, in a place like a paradise, Qin Wanyuan met Lin Que’s old friend, a gentle and kind fairy, who took them in and provided shelter.

Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

However,

One day, Qin Wanyuan saw Lin Que’s memorial tablet in the fairy’s house, with a letter in front of it.

The content was: [Lin Que fought the evil cultivators for half a day and died of exhaustion.]

At that moment, Qin Wanyuan’s heart, which had been hanging high and numb, suddenly ached.

Finally… it fell heavily to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Completely heartbroken.

That night, in front of Lin Que’s memorial tablet, Qin Wanyuan drew her sword and ended her life, following him.

However, what she didn’t expect was that after her self-sacrifice, she was reborn two years before the disaster occurred, once again… coming to his side.

The first thing Qin Wanyuan thought of was to change everything. In the month since her rebirth, she worked hard to improve her cultivation and wanted to find out the traitor within the sect.

But… she got no information about the traitor, and her cultivation improvement was extremely limited. Without a fortuitous encounter, it was basically impossible to make a major breakthrough in a short time.

So, Qin Wanyuan gave up. She only wanted Lin Que to leave this place of trouble and live safely. But just when she was about to confess to Lin Que, something stopped her.

“What is that voice…?”

Qin Wanyuan stared at the beautiful face reflected on the surface of the bathwater, and the faintly visible proud, fair body beneath the water, slightly lost in thought.

The next second, a blue box suddenly appeared in front of her, and at the same time, that emotionless female voice sounded in her mind again.

[Detected host’s confusion, system auto-answer: This system is the Ultimate Dao Companion Cultivation System.]

“Ultimate Dao Companion Cultivation… System?” Qin Wanyuan frowned in confusion.

Before she could understand the meaning, the system’s voice sounded again.

[Host… do you desire power?]
