Great Love Immortal Venerate: Why are all my fairies yandere?

"In this trial, you all need to be cautious. I need to be stationed in the estate to ensure the princess's safety, so I can only guarantee the safety within a ten-mile radius. Within these hundred miles, those Nascent Soul cultivators won't dare to approach easily, but if they are only Core Formation cultivators, we will not take the initiative to act,"

Lan Mei looked at the four of them with a meaningful gaze, emphasizing the word "initiative" deliberately, then her gaze paused on Xu Yuan and Lin Qingque for a moment before she slowly said, "Did you understand?"

"Understood."

All four nodded in unison.

Xu Yuan pondered,

he had already detected the deeper meaning in Lan Mei's words.

Not taking the initiative didn't mean they wouldn't act at all.

And those groups of Core Formation cultivators wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke these Nascent Soul cultivators, so, in a way, she was also implying—"Run to her in times of danger."

"Sister, if it comes to a one-on-one fight, I'm not that afraid of these people, but if we're surrounded..."

After a slight pause, Zhong Sheng looked towards Lin Qingque: "Moreover, compared to us, Lin and the others will be in more danger. How about this—I'll team up with Lin, and Huang with Xu. That way, we can also protect them."

"Brother Zhong, you needn't worry,"

Xu Yuan smiled faintly, "If my guess is correct, although it's a trial, these loose cultivators probably won't really try to kill us."

"Oh?"

Zhong Sheng's expression darkened, he asked, "Brother, what makes you so confident about that?"

"The major sects view these loose cultivators as test stones, and wouldn't the loose cultivators see that? Why would they accept it willingly? Moreover, the number of loose cultivators is large, and the disciples of the major sects are too few. This inequality, to prevent them from being driven to desperate actions, if I'm not mistaken, the people from the eight major sects should have made some promises to make those groups of loose cultivators hesitate before acting."

"Exactly."

Lan Mei looked at him approvingly and said, "After all, we are not from the Demonic Dao. Even if we want to train the talented disciples in the sects, we would not corner and wipe them out. The loose cultivators who stay in the city are mostly volunteers, and surely, they are promised benefits. The official stance of the major sects is uniform: Anyone who captures a Foundation Establishment disciple alive can exchange him for a Core Formation Magical Treasure or a secret manual, while a Core Formation disciple can be exchanged for a Nascent Soul Magical Treasure."

After saying this, she added, "Of course, it's inevitable that in the heat of battle, some might accidentally go too far. Even if you accidentally kill them during this process, it's okay."

Her implication was that if the loose cultivators accidentally killed them, they would have to take responsibility.

"However, don't think that you're guaranteed to be safe,"

Lan Mei said indifferently, "In battle, anything seems to be possible. The reason I didn't mention this at the beginning is because I fear that you would lose your sense of danger, you understand?"

Seeing that all four nodded, not letting their guard down because of her recent words, Lan Mei then nodded.

"Also, if you're captured alive, the sects will be very disappointed with you... Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood, but Sister, since that's the case, let's stick to the groups I suggested,"

Zhong Sheng persistently said.

"..."

After a brief thought, Lan Mei looked at the other three.

Initially, she too had intended to group them for acting, planning to pair Lin Qingque with Huang Ying, but after realizing the discord between Xu Yuan and Zhong Sheng, she dismissed that idea.

Seeing her hesitate, Zhong Sheng turned his gaze towards Lin Qingque, earnestly saying, "Lin, I know you misunderstand me, but you two being in the Foundation Establishment Realm might easily attract attention when you're together. It's better to follow my suggestion; it would also be beneficial for "brother" Xu."

"Thank you for your kind intentions, Brother Zhong, but there's no need,"

Xu Yuan knew it was his turn to speak up; standing up at this moment could easily win Lin Qingque's favor.

He said lightly, "As for my sister's safety, you don't need to worry, I'll take good care of her."

With that, he stepped in front of Zhong Sheng, blocking his intense gaze directed at Lin Qingque.

Lin Qingque's expression remained cool, but a faint smile tinged the corners of her mouth.

She liked the possessiveness Xu Yuan was showing.

Although she knew it might be deliberate, so what?

Zhong Sheng wasn't angry but spoke with a cold smirk, "Brother, are you sure, with your strength, you can truly protect Lin?"

"Oh?"

Xu Yuan's eyes flickered, "Or what? Elder brother thinks I'm not strong enough, so why don't we exchange a few moves?"

He couldn't beat Lin Qingque, those heroines with system glitches, but that didn't mean he couldn't beat someone like Zhong Sheng, this so-called genius disciple.

Zhong Sheng's face showed delight; he had been waiting for this opportunity to catch him off guard for a long time.

"Enough, you two... what do you look like."

However, at this moment, Lan Mei's face darkened, and she scolded softly, "Do you think you two look like brothers at all?"

"Sister teaches us rightfully."

Xu Yuan gave a faint smile.

Zhong Sheng's expression stiffened, he lowered his head, his face turning ashen as he squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Sister teaches us rightfully."

"How fierce you quarrel, perhaps Lin isn't interested in following either of you..."

Before Lan Mei could finish speaking, she saw Lin Qingque happily resting her head on Xu Yuan's shoulder, taking his hand, their fingers tightly interlocked.

Her lips twitched, thinking there really was no saving them.

"Let it be, just be careful."

Lan Mei shook her head, gesturing for the four to leave.

"So, junior brother had calculated that sister would stand up for you. However, a small cleverness can save you momentarily, but it won't save you for a lifetime, we... let's wait and see," Zhong Sheng coldly transmitted his voice as he walked past him.

Xu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, catching that although Lin Qingque didn't hear what he said, she definitely knew it wasn't anything good and wanted to teach him a lesson, shook his head and said, "Sister, let it be."

For such a jumping clown, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with him later.

Right now, what was most important was...

Xu Yuan's gaze drifted towards the very center of Dawn City's palace.

How to sneak into the midst of the imperial chaos.

The current situation had become as chaotic as he had anticipated, and Jing Lixue had also agreed to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao Sect.

He wanted to scout out the situation early, to confirm the position and situation of the entrance, so that when Jing Lixue ascended the throne and the entrance to the Four Divine Beasts Formation in the palace opened, he could be the first to arrive and leverage the fate of Jing Lixue, the heavenly chosen girl, to enter it.

...

When Xu Yuan and Lin Qingque arrived at Princess Luoyang's mansion's outer courtyard, they immediately felt many different gazes landing on them.

Upon discerning their realm, accompanying those gazes, many turned fervent while many also shifted away.

However, although the owners of these gazes were itching to make a move, none dared to actually do so.

After all, Lan Mei's Nascent Soul aura was also being displayed without the slightest concealment within the mansion.

Before they were sure she wouldn't move against Core Formation cultivators, they didn't dare to act recklessly.

But this situation certainly wouldn't last long, for hefty rewards beget brave men.

They merely lacked a fuse.

Driven by interests, it would soon lead some to take a desperate gamble.

Once safety was assured, they would swarm like sharks attracted to blood.

Under the covetous watch of so many loose cultivators, Xu Yuan suddenly smiled, looked at Lin Qingque, and whispered, "Sister, are you scared?"

Lin Qingque's lips bloomed into a beautiful smile, softly saying, "With Elder Brother by my side, I'm afraid of nothing."

'That's great then, since that's the case, let these people help block her.'

Xu Yuan whispered, "Good!"

After speaking, under the gazes of the outsiders that saw them as madmen, he grabbed Lin Qingque's hand and dashed out of the mansion like an arrow released from its bow.

"Then let us... annihilate them completely!"
