Pulling Together a Villain Reformation Strategy

Several lights flickered on by them, and Jiang Xunyi glanced sideways casually. They appeared to be a few fireflies, so he didnt care and rested his hand on his forehead to sleep.

Suddenly he felt that something was wrong and his eyes immediately flashed open. Yun Xie was already slightly swaying and jumped up to sit on a branch beside Jiang Xunyi in a flash. He held the flute in his hand, no longer playing as he leaned over with a smile. AXun, look over quickly, dont these fireflies look like stars in the sky?

Without needing him to speak, Jiang Xunyi had already noticed the spectacle. There were originally only a few fireflies around them, but as time passed, there were more and more. After Yun Xie said this sentence, he laid the flute on his lips again, and the melody drifted through the night. The clusters of fluorescent lights flew about in the dark night, and from afar it really looked like the galaxy, unspeakably vast and gorgeous.

It seemed to only be a second, and yet it also seemed that a long time had passed. Jiang Xunyi suddenly smiled, the fluorescent light and tree shadows casting on his face alternately. His skin color appeared more white, giving him a different kind of beauty. He turned over, sat up, and spread his hands. Immediately a few fireflies flew over and landed on the palm of his hand. The faint glow illuminated his palm, and it seemed like no matter the troubles of the world, everything was in his hands.

Even after seeing a jumble of flowers, the mirror is not disturbed[1]I thought it was a dream, but I didnt expect everything to be true. Jiang Xunyi smiled slightly and pointed his finger gently at the end of Yun Xies flute. Brother Yun, stop playing, lets sleep.

Jiang Xunyi and Yun Xie seemed at peace as they fell asleep. In fact, they were at a standstill, thinking of how to persuade the other. When they heard the bell ringing near the disciples assembly early the next morning, they immediately looked at each other.

Jiang Xunyi thought, I have to find a way to get into the limelight to quickly enter the inner sect.

Yun Xie thought, I have to stop him!

They didnt say anything, but they both saw ghosts in the others eyes and immediately looked away at the same time.

They returned to the door of the tattered hut and saw that the uniforms worn by the disciples of the outer sect had been sent out. After they put on the clothes, they found that the patterns was exactly the same as the one on the clothes the disciples of the inner door wore, but the colors were reversed. Instead, there were black flames on a red background.

When worn by men, the red outfit was very unflattering, especially on the new disciples who didnt grow up as a cultivator. Their temperaments lacked refinement, and they looked like lively country bumpkins celebrating a good harvest. It was absolutely unbearable to look at them.

Jiang Xunyi and Yun Xie finally arrived after changing clothes. The two were exquisite, elegant, and had different temperaments from the rest. They stood out, with their appearances seeming to shine, and they immediately attracted most eyes.

Jiang Xunyis face filled with frost when he faced outsiders and refused to look at anyone as he calmly walked to the end of the line and stood still. However, Yun Xie still had a gentle smile on his face. He looked very harmless, merely following Jiang Xunyi. After a few steps, he was stopped by someone.

He lowered his head to look at the woman, who was a lot shorter than himself. What is it?

The girl also wore a red coat of the same style, apparently also an outer disciple. She stared at Yun Xies handsome face, her mouth moving with no words for a long time before saying, This this brother, may I have your name, please?

After such a pause, Jiang Xunyis figure was already submerged in the sea of disciples. Yun Xie looked sideways and casually said, Miss, do you like me?

The girl didnt expect him to be so direct. She was so shocked that her face flushed suddenly. Before she could speak, Yun Xie continued, If thats the case, I would like to thank you, but I already have someone I like. Please go back.

Although Jiang Xunyi was wearing the same clothes as the others, he was luckily tall enough for Yun Xie to find him after he scanned the crowd for a long time. He immediately wanted to head over.

The girl was a little unwilling, chasing him and saying, Brother did not even look at me, and yet you already know that I must not be as good as the one you favor?

After being blocked by her again, Yun Xie stopped. He didnt show impatience and instead stared at the other person with a gentle smile. His eyes were intoxicating as he said, Yeah, youre not as good-looking as him, not as smart as him, and your cultivation is inferior, too. Farewell, there is nothing about you that is comparable to him. Are we done now?

He liked to say cruel words with a smile, and this answer was especially heartbreaking. He was able to get away immediately, leaving the little girl crying as he walked over to Jiang Xunyi as if nothing happened.

When Yun Xie came up to him, Jiang Xunyi felt the depletion of the system energy subtly, and he was stunned for a second. Yun Xie had just destroyed the seedling of a romance with someone who was part of the protagonists exclusive harem.

Before he even made a move himself, Yun Xie had already helped so much. He was really taking the initiative. Actually, when he really thought about it, it seemed that even after so many years, he had never seen him fall in love with any woman. He sure was a pure and dignified hero.

Jiang Xunyi couldnt help worrying about his brothers health. After all, Yun Xie had help him so many times from birth to death. Much of what happened had not been written in the original book. It couldnt be that as the plot was changed a part was destroyed, right?

So right as Yun Xie approached, he saw Jiang Xunyi glance at him with a very strange look. His eyes glanced down faintly, his face slightly reddening before he turned away quickly.

Yun Xie panicked inexplicably. Whats wrong?

Jiang Xunyi paused before asking, That girl was confessing to you just now, right? You refused her?

Because of the sensitive topic and especially because of Jiang Xunyis troubled expression, Yun Xie was too scared to even joke. Ah, yes.

Jiang Xunyi was originally just randomly speculating, but when he saw Yun Xies guilty look, he was startled and wondered what was wrong with this man. The protagonist of the eloquent stallion novel had a hidden disease that was difficult to reveal? It couldnt be

He wanted to ask directly, but could not even open his mouth. Even if the two were close brothers, it was hard to directly ask a question that was so harmful to the others dignity. In addition, Jiang Xunyi was too prideful to ask, as he never had Yun Xies thick skin. It was a bit embarrassing to even think about it. He hesitated for a long time before turning around and saying, I think the girl just now was good. Why didnt you try to be with her En, how about trying to get along?

Although he already knew the other didnt have romantic feelings towards himself, once Yun Xie heard these words come from Jiang Xunyis mouth, he could no longer even deceive himself. Yun Xie felt dizzy, and he immediately felt that he encountered a huge loss. He turned his head to stare at Jiang Xunyi, his eyes deep and dark, and his delicate and gentle face filling with frost.

This was the first time he had looked at Jiang Xunyi like this, and Jiang Xunyi inexplicably felt guilty, as if he had just done something sinister. When he thought about it, with Yun Xies alertness and intelligence, he probably had already guessed what he meant. If he didnt guess wrong, such a question might have really hurt, so he felt bad.

N-never mind, I cough, just curious, pretend like I didnt ask.

Yun Xie tried his best to restrain the sadness in his heart and lowered his eyes without any expression. Do you want me to be with other women? Why?

Jiang Xunyi didnt know what to say. Yun Xie suddenly asked, Speak, why?!

What do you mean why? You have to ask why now?

Yun Xies voice trembled faintly, appearing to put a lot of weight on Jiang Xunyis words. Jiang Xunyi felt that he had to answer, but he also didnt want vomit words out as if he wasnt a man. He had no choice but to steel his nerves and say, That is, I just wanted to ask you. Do you have a problem somewhere, ah, or do you not like women? We are good brothers, so I wont look down on you. If you have problems dont hide it from me. If you tell me, we can find a way together

What the hell was this? The more Jiang Xunyi wondered, the more ridiculous his thoughts became. His voice gradually lowered, but Yun Xie was just frozen.

Jiang Xunyi lowered his head and touched his nose.

Suddenly his shoulders sank, and Jiang Xunyi was unexpectedly huggedYun Xie had pounced over, punching him lightly, before he finally broke down. He couldnt help lying on Jiang Xunyis shoulders and laughing. The confused crowd looked over at them.

Even if he was used to Yun Xies reckless behavior, there were some things that he couldnt bear. It may be that his current neurological state was more sensitive, so even he felt that two grown men laughing and hugging each other for a while was not normal. Feeling annoyed, he said, I am just worried about you! What are you laughing at?!

Yun Xie was breathless and couldnt stop laughing. If one were to describe this feeling accurately, it could only be said that he was completely shocked. AXun, you Hahahahaha, how could you think like this? You you are just too interesting!

Just as Jiang Xunyi was about to turn and throw him away, Yun Xie suddenly increased the intensity of the hug and buried his head in the others neck. His expression was unknown, but there was still a little hint of a smile in his voice as he asked lowly, AXun, if what you asked me was true, then how would you help me find a solution together?

As he spoke, his lips gently brushed the skin of Jiang Xunyis neck, seemingly unintentional. The wet and warm touch shocked Jiang Xunyi. A strange feeling arose in his heart, electrocuting him, so he suddenly pushed the other away and took a half step back.

Jiang Xunyi was puzzled, but he saw that Yun Xies expression was quite normal, so he felt that he was overthinking. Me? I would help you ask for medicine from a doctor W-what did you think I should do?

Even Jiang Xunyi didnt know what he himself was talking about. It didnt look like Yun Xie had an issue. He just wanted to travel back to a few minutes ago and shut his big mouth.

Although the inner disciples had not yet come, their movements had attracted a lot of attention, and they felt a lot of eyes on them. Yun Xie still had a smile on his face and glanced around without a trace of anxiety. The circle of onlookers suddenly felt their hearts thump and looked away, inexplicably afraid to look at him.

After looking around for a moment, Yun Xie had already calmed his heart. He secretly admonished himself that this was dangerous, as it was not the right time to reveal his feelings. With all of his effort, he kept the smile on his face. Alright, look at how frightened you are. What are you thinking about? A person who cultivates to immortality has to be clear-hearted, so dont urge me to learn something wrong. But strange, we previously shouldnt you know that Icough, nothing.

Jiang Xunyi stared at Yun Xie for a while before he accepted the answer. He hummed and rubbed his cheeks, which were still a little bit hot, with the back of his hand

The two of them had spent a while talking, and somehow, although the bells of the disciples assembly had clearly sounded for a long time, not even one of the inner disciples did not come out. Jiang Xunyi silently felt awkward for a while, secretly glancing at Yun Xie. Seeing that the other didnt seem to care at all, he hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, there was a wailing from the distance.
