Evil Strategies
chapter 5

Create a page for the Chinese fanart I found for this novel here. Also, there is a lot of sarcasm in this chapter that belongs to Shen Qingqiu. LOL

Initial editing completed.

Ever since Shen Qingqiu woke up from the high fever that appeared out of nowhere, Yue Qingyuan came to visit her several times during the recovery period. 'Touted as the head of the main faction of the number one cultivation sect in the world, the things he had to take care of were extremely complex and numerous. Yet he still had time to take the matter of this junior-martial brother to heart. Shen Qingqiu almost felt touched.

Perhaps the real one could still betray a person like this without regret or mercy, showing just how much he was a .

Yue Qingyuan brought snowy white porcelain tea inside Shen Qingqiu's bamboo house, her eyes were full of worry: "How is the junior siblings' body after recuperating lately?"

Shen Qingqiu lightly waved her fan, fusing well in this atmosphere of fraternal love: "Qingqiu has never had any problems. I have made senior martial brothers worry again. ”

Yue Qingyuan: "That means that the martial brothers are ready to descend the mountain. Is there anything you need? "

The hand that held the fan wavered: "Mountain down?"

Yue Qingyuan said, "Did the illness of the martial brother this time make you forget? Didn't you tell me at that time that you would be handling the matter in Shuang Hu City, using it as an opportunity for your disciples to gain experience? "

So that's the problem that the original item took down.

Shen Qingqiu really wanted to find an excuse to avoid this matter. He had still not fully familiarized himself with his spiritual power and techniques; how could he bring his students to gain this kind of experience!

But he hasn't even thickened his skin to say that his body isn't good enough to go when a warning is heard next to his ear. System coldly announced:

【Mission early stage checkpoint [1] assigned. Destination: Shuang Hu City. Mission: Complete the student experience opportunity. Please click to receive. 】

So this was the mission required to transition from the early stage to the later stage! It seemed like he had no choice but to leave. Shen Qingqiu wanted to ask how she was supposed to accept when she was immediately faced with the mission profile and the two options at the bottom. On the left is 'Accept' and on the right 'Reject. '

He paused on the 'Receive' option for a while. It slowly turned green and 'ding' sounded. System announce: 【Mission successfully received. Please read the file carefully for mission details and make proper preparations. Good luck. 】

Shen Qingqiu turned towards Yue Qingyuan and said: "I remember, of course. It's just that lately I've been lazy and almost forgotten about this matter. I'll be leaving soon. ”

Yue Qingyuan nodded: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't be polite. Getting your students to experience is not something to be rushed. In fact, you don't even have to keep an eye on them yourself. ”

Shen Qingqiu smiled but in her heart complained: Senior martial brother, you?'

It has been mentioned by the original Shen Qingqiu in the novel that he left all his affairs to Ming Fan to carry out, no matter how big or small. As long as it had nothing to do with the protagonist, the efficiency and intelligence of this child was high. On the second day, Shen Qingqiu could already depart.

Before leaving Qing Jing Peak, Shen Qingqiu examined her image again. He wore a white robe with a blue belt and belt, a sword hanging on the left side of his waist while his right hand held a fan. He was exactly a picture of refined and savory elegance.

Not an OOC at all, perfect!

The white stone stairs leading to the mountain gate were hundreds of steps long. At the foot of the stairs was a horse carriage prepared for Shen Qingqiu and plenty of horseback riding for her students.

Shen Qingqiu: System, are you teasing me? If it's for the cultivation setting, why don't we use the flying sword to move? '

The system coldly replied: 【Even if it was in the world with a setting like Harry Potter, not every witch would go by riding a broom. Profile is too high. 】

Shen Qingqiu: 'You seem to know a lot about this? In the past, were you assigned to the world of Harry Potter? '

System responds with outline 【...】.

Ever since this system operated for so many years, Shen Qingqiu was the first to do this kind of nonsense.

However, come to think of it, the system was right. This time they will go down the mountain for experience. These students were mostly young and inexperienced. They have not found their own 'swords' [3]. From the very beginning under the guidance of the Cang Qiong Mountain sect, the disciples had to cultivate to a certain level before they could enter the central area of the Twelve Peaks to choose a 'sword' suitable for them.

It is said that one chooses a sword but in fact, it is the sword that chooses that person. If one really did not possess any talent, but still insisted on taking the kind of top-grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Strength Condensation technique [4], not only was it like a beautiful woman paired with someone ugly, it was also the same as a beautiful flower stuffed into cow dung [5]. Think about it . Even if the will was there, the sword might not agree.

Luo Binghe's golden finger [6] began to play a role when she discovered her own unique sword, Xin Mo. '

Shen Qingqiu entered the horse carriage. The exterior of the car is generous without decoration. Inside there was a spacious enough space to sit comfortably with a small, fragrant incense burner while inhaling the smoke. After sitting for a while, he felt that something was wrong. He lifted the window curtain with his fan and looked out.

No wonder he felt that there was something familiar about this carriage. The small figure that drove back and forth was summoned by someone else to do something, who was also cleaning this carriage; it was Luo Binghe's handyman!

Luo Binghe finally placed the last item on the – carriage of the white jade chest that Shen Qingqiu always carried with her whenever she came out. When he raised his head and met Shen Qingqiu's complex gaze, he was shocked but still respectfully greeted: "Shizun. ”

The wound he received from Shen Qingqiu's previous 'lesson' had just healed, the bruise on his face gone. Although he was young and his worldview was not open, it did not detract from his capable and noble appearance. With his back straight and air of action it was, as if he had never been beaten and suppressed at Qing Jing Peak for so many years.

Although he did a rough job, his attitude was meticulous and his seriousness made it difficult for anyone to dislike him.

Perhaps Shen Qingqiu had a good feeling towards the protagonist because she initially took an interest in him. He was resolute when killing and distinguished clearly between those who should show gratitude or hatred towards him, which Shen Qingqiu liked.

Shen Qingqiu looked at him for a while, then said, “Mm. “She pulled back her fan, letting her curtains fall again. Needless to say, the protagonist was truly the protagonist. Although this child had fallen from grace so tragically without any prospect or background, he also had a large group of Women 1, Women 2, Women 3, Women 4, and others, and then hugged him from the front and back. This principle is that the person who looks the best is the one who survives last!

Of course, this also explained why his fellow disciple brothers did not find him in the eye and wanted to punch him into the head of a pig.

He twisted his mind once more, once again: Not true. If the total number of disciples that left the mountain included Luo Binghe number ten, then why did he only see nine horses? There is still one horse missing.

Yeah, even his toes know who did it.

Sure enough, there's a snicker. Happy voice Ming Fan penetrated the carriage from a distance: “There really is a shortage of horses. We can only impose on you at this time, martial brother. Since your basic foundation is lacking, this is also a good opportunity for you to practice. ”

It's complete nonsense that there aren't enough horses. As the number one cultivation sect in the world this year, the Cang Qiong Mountain sect was practically filled with wealth. Could they be short of a horse?

Ming Fan was truly experienced in being part of cannon fodder. After a while, he also said: "What? What kind of expression is that? You are not satisfied? "

Luo Binghe replied with two words, “Don't dare. ”

Only, the laughter of a young girl sounded like a bell. Ning Yingying said, "Senior martial brother, what are you talking about?"

Really, you always arrive at the right time, young girl!

Shen Qingqiu knew that Ning Yingying's presence acted as the worst evil catalyst between Ming Fan and Luo Binghe's interactions. As long as she appeared, Luo Binghe would always have a hard time.

Shen Qingqiu ventured to slightly raise her window curtain. Quite right, he saw Ning Yingying excitedly waving her hand: "Ah Luo, aren't there enough horses? Come and ride with me! ”

…… It really brings a lot of hatred to Luo Binghe.

Even Shen Qingqiu could imagine the sight of Ming Fan's jaw dropping to the ground. The protagonist who obtained this beauty was a common sight and was extremely cool, only that it would easily increase the pressure exerted on him by the evil and envious. If Luo Binghe accepted Ning Yingying's offer, she shouldn't have thought of being left at peace by the others.

Ming Fan was overjoyed and in his heart thought that Shizun really had the same thoughts as him! He immediately encouraged everyone to start. This little joke was put aside, Shen Qingqiu retreated to her own mind. He opened the carriage door slightly to check if they were moving out.

This expedition was not only the first 'down the mountain' scene but was also significant as it was an opportunity for Shen Qingqiu to see if he could undo the freezing of the OOC. He should take this opportunity seriously.

The contents of the mission file concerned a small town a few miles away from the Cang Qiong sect. A series of murders have emerged recently. Nine people in a row have been killed.

Everyone who died had something in common: each had all of their skin removed perfectly. From head to toe, the killer's skill was so high that it seemed like the body had never grown skin. Therefore, the killer is called "The Skinner. ”

The officials had no way of dealing with someone who had successively killed nine people. Everyone used to panic and there was even a rumor that it was a ghost job – how else could this killer not be tracked ?!

Several large families held a meeting before finally deciding to invite the Immortal cultivators of the Cang Qiong Mountain sect for help.

He had read and reread this information many times. However, no matter how often he reread it there was not the slightest bit of help.

What kind of Skinner is this ?! He had never even heard of it before! Is this some sort of extra scene or an original part of the plot ?! Isn't that dangerous ?! Doesn't that require a high level of strength ?! Could he be facing this ?! It was completely different from what they agreed!

When he asks himself these questions, the system says: 【What's the difference? You were a novel critic. You should know that this novel is a kind of artistic creation and artistic creations will have little difference. And you've become part of this world. Naturally, you have to personally experience the plot scenes and complete the originally omitted scenes to complete the story. 】

Shen Qingqiu was helpless. He knew it was inevitable. He could only train with increased effort to familiarize himself with his Xiu Ya Sword technique as soon as possible before they went down the mountain, he said, familiarize yourself with all kinds of skills to prevent himself from messing with and being killed by any ghost or spirit that is not obvious.

The compartments in the horse-drawn carriage had all sorts of things. Without words, Shen Qingqiu could even find five or six sets of tea. He could still be considered a rich second generation child [8] in his past life, but even then there was no such attention to detail and sheer wealth.

Luo Binghe was still outside. He never let go of his vigilance, always wary of movement. Outside of the horse carriage, a trace of laughter seemed to flash through the air from time to time. Shen Qingqiu glanced outwards.

Luo Binghe walked alone at the end of the procession, sometimes running. Horses surrounded him, deliberately made to kick the ground waves and make it dusty.

It's just a novel. Everyone is a fictional character created and plays out a plot created by the imagination; everything can be blamed on that stupid writer for making the protagonist suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, and panic makes your sister suffer!

But once this scene played out in real time in front of him like this, if you don't want him to be unmoved, it's too unrealistic.

Ning Yingying tried to prevent the others from going to waste. Anxiously, he pointed his horse closer to the carriage and called out: “Shizun! Look at senior martial brothers and the others! ”

Shen Qingqiu's heart was moved but did not appear on her face. Without much expression, he said: "What about them?"

His voice carried a deep sense of sorrow as he said: "They bully people like this but you don't tell them. If this goes on..... Shizun, what are you teaching students for! ”

This can be considered a public complaint. But Ming Fan and the others did not feel pressured because Shen Qingqiu's past was used to letting their behavior go. The more they bully Luo Binghe, the more Shizun will be happy; where is the conflict?

Ming Fan was the happiest. That day behind the mountain was definitely the result of the twisted spell or skill that Luo Binghe had learned. Today Shizun was here so Luo Binghe was cursed.

Shen Qingqiu took out an "Oh," and said one sentence: "Luo Binghe, you came. ”

Luo Binghe's face looked dull and she seemed to be used to this treatment. He said one "Yes" and approached.

Everyone had the feeling of schadenfreude and thought that Luo Binghe would be beaten and disciplined again. But they do not think that today they will fear self-destruction on three fronts.

As Shen Qingqiu opened the door curtain, Luo Binghe proudly raised her head and looked inside the carriage. He does not speak but his movements speak for themselves.

Ning Yingying happily said: "Ah Luo, hurry up the carriage, Shizun let you ride with her!"

Lightning snatched from the clear sky!

If not for them having been with Shizun for so many years, Ming Fan and the others would have suspected that Shen Qingqiu was possessed by demons!

Luo Binghe was also completely stunned. But he reacted quickly and did not hesitate for long. He replied: “Thank you very much, Shizun. “He jumped onto the carriage, honestly and subconsciously curled up in the corner, his hands and feet tucking in as if afraid of littering the carriage space.

System: 【Warning ....】

Shen Qingqiu: 'What warning? I am not an OOC. '

System: 【It is impossible for 'Shen Qingqiu' to perform this action to resolve Luo Binghe's predicament. Rating: OOC Rate 100%. 】

Shen Qingqiu said: If it was just to solve Luo Binghe's problem, then of course it would be impossible. But now, my motive was to not disappoint Ning Yingying's expectations of me as her Shizun. Imagine, how can I be cold-hearted and let my beloved little disciple be disappointed? '

System: 【.....】

Shen Qingqiu: 'Therefore my actions are fully in line with the character logic' of Shen Qingqiu '. You cannot reduce points. '

Through this exchange, he had already found some loopholes.

The system follows rules, but they are not dead rules. Since the rule is alive, then it is in the realm of bargaining. As expected, the system did not think of a coping strategy. Shen Qingqiu felt so cool that she could not help but laugh.

At first he sat quietly in the carriage and meditated, seeming to have fallen into a trance. But suddenly hearing a laugh, Luo Binghe could not help but look up.

Honestly speaking, it would be mistaken to say Luo Binghe was not surprised. Although he respected Shen Qingqiu, Shizun did not care about her, not even caring about her. He knows this.

Shen Qingqiu probably called him to the carriage earlier because he was planning something worse. Luo Binghe prepared herself inside but did not think that Shen Qingqiu would forget about it and start meditating.

Luo Binghe thought that she had never been this close before. He carefully looked at Shen Qingqiu.

On the surface, Shen Qingqiu's performance was nothing to talk about. Maybe he's not a first-class handsome guy, but he's undeniably attractive and nice to look at [9]. His face was half in light and the shadows seemed to be worn by the soft flowing water, easily pleasant to look at. If he took his famous sword in one hand, he would be a cultivated image of elegance.

Shen Qingqiu opened her eyes and saw Luo Binghe observing her. The male protagonist at that moment looked at his eyes like stars, a wide smile, a speech filled with laughter [10]. “It's light and warm.

After being caught off guard, Luo Binghe really did not know how best to proceed. But then Shen Qingqiu smiled.

This smile was purely unconscious. It was as if Luo Binghe had been pierced by that smile, immediately pulling her eyes and unable to figure out what that feeling was.

Soon, Shen Qingqiu could not smile anymore.

System announced: 【Crossing: OOC. -5 Points. Current points: 165 Points. 】

Shen Qingqiu: '...... Just smiling once causes a reduction in points?'

The system says correctly: 【OOC is OOC. 】
