The Villainous Me, Forging a System Every Day

Chapter 20: Touring the Power of the Heavenly Demonic Sect!:

Hua Qiandi had come to show off his cultivation progress, expecting some acknowledgment, but instead, the old lunatic ignored him entirely.

“You’re just going to ignore me like that?” Hua Qiandi thought, feeling a mix of frustration and disbelief.

“Old man, wake up! Stop pretending to be asleep!” He called out, but the old man didn’t respond.

Frustrated, Hua Qiandi used his spiritual power to send his consciousness directly into the old lunatic’s mind, but still, there was no reaction.

However, Hua Qiandi noticed something unusual—this man hadn’t practiced the Great Dream Heart Sutra. He didn’t possess spiritual power at all. His mind was a chaotic mess, as if it had been ripped apart and left incomplete. It was clear now why he appeared insane. More disturbingly, it seemed that a part of his mind had been intentionally stripped away, making it impossible for him to recover.

Hua Qiandi wondered, “Where did he get the technique from? Who created it, and how did they know I was suited to cultivating spiritual power? ”

Puzzled and unable to find answers, Hua Qiandi left, his mind filled with even more questions.

Not long after he departed, the old lunatic opened his eyes and muttered, “It’s almost time…”

Two days passed swiftly.

Hua Qiandi received a message from the Sect Master, summoning him to the Heavenly Demonic Sect. When he arrived, the other three Holy Son candidates were already there.

Both Zhan Wei and Xue Wuhen looked pale and unsteady, clearly still suffering from the severe injuries they had sustained during their previous duel. It was obvious they hadn’t fully recovered, and judging by their condition, they could only use 30-40% of their strength at most.

In contrast, Leng Yaoyue seemed full of energy, her aura radiating confidence and a touch of arrogance.

When she saw Hua Qiandi enter, she greeted him, but he coldly ignored her.

The hall was silent and solemn. Besides the Sect Master, several elders were seated in positions of authority, watching the proceedings.

Once everyone had arrived, the Sect Master spoke, her tone commanding yet measured: “The 10-year event is upon us! This palace intends to select one of you to represent the Heavenly Demonic Sect on this mission.”

At her words, everyone’s eyes lit up.

The event was a crucial mission. The chosen disciple would inspect the forces under the sect’s control, collect tributes, assess their progress, and see if any disciples were rising in strength or if any threats loomed. It was also a way to display the might of the Heavenly Demonic Sect and ensure that no one dared to challenge its authority.

This mission wasn’t just a task—it was an honor, similar to being an imperial envoy.

Xue Wuhen’s heart raced with excitement, and thought to himself, “This is perfect! I can show off my power, and the respect and admiration will come rolling in! ”

Zhan Wei was equally eager, and thought inwardly, “This is an ideal chance to display my strength! If I go out on this mission, I’ll gain all the battle honors! ”

Zhan Wei quickly spoke up, his voice full of determination: “Sect Master, please grant me this mission! I will make sure to complete it successfully!”

Not to be outdone, Xue Wuhen added, “Sect Master, elders, I also request this mission. I swear I will fulfill it without fail!”

The two disciples glared at each other, their rivalry clear for all to see.

The Sect Master, seated above them, scolded them sharply: “Nonsense! Look at the state you’re in! Your blood is weak, your strength hasn’t recovered, and you think you’re fit to represent the Heavenly Demonic Sect? Going out in this condition would only disgrace us!”

Both Xue Wuhen and Zhan Wei bowed their heads in shame, knowing their weakened condition made them unsuitable for the task.

“Disgraceful!” One of the elders muttered from behind them, clearly unimpressed.

The Sect Master continued, “This event is no simple errand. Therefore, this palace has decided to give the task to…”

Her gaze shifted between Hua Qiandi and Leng Yaoyue. Based on strength, experience, and other factors, Leng Yaoyue was clearly the stronger candidate. The decision seemed obvious.

“…to Leng Yaoyue!”

“Thank you, Sect Master! I promise I will not let you down!” Leng Yaoyue responded eagerly, bowing with gratitude.

She officially addressed the Sect Master as her master in front of everyone, a formality that showed her respect.

The Sect Master gave a cold nod. “Good.”

But Leng Yaoyue had another thought. This mission would take several months, which meant she’d be separated from Hua Qiandi for a long time. That would delay the completion of her system tasks. She quickly spoke up again: “Sect Master, elders, I would like to request that Hua Qiandi accompany me on this mission!”

Her request left everyone stunned.

They thought, ‘You two are competitors. Why would you want him along? Wouldn’t it be better to keep him out of the way?’

When had the disciples of the Heavenly Demonic Sect become so united and helpful?

Leng Yaoyue explained, “I believe Junior Brother Hua has been with the sect for only a short time and doesn’t yet have a full understanding of the Heavenly Demonic Sect There’s no one else to guide him, so I would like to take this opportunity to mentor him myself. Besides, as a woman, there are tasks that might be inconvenient for me to handle alone. It would be easier for Junior Brother Hua to assist me. Please, Sect Master, allow it.”

Everyone was even more bewildered by her reasoning.

“Does Hua Qiandi really need your guidance?” they wondered.

Still, since it was a request from a favored disciple, the Sect Master could hardly refuse. “Very well. Hua Qiandi, do you agree to this?” She asked.

Hua Qiandi cupped his hands in respect and replied, “As the Sect Master commands.”

“Good. Hua Qiandi and Leng Yaoyue will go together on this mission. However, remember, Leng Yaoyue is in charge.”

“Yes, Sect Master!” both disciples answered in unison.
