Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Chapter 445: Ch 445 – Go Back First

“Ah, I see. Thank you, Master!”

Ye Chaerin made a deal with Ruoning last night.

She agreed to shelter Ruoning temporarily and not send her home. But in exchange, Ruoning had to keep everything secret. Tomorrow, Ye Chaerin would meet Yino personally.

So early this morning, Ye Chaerin brought Ruoning to the third floor of the elegant pavilion beside Liuli Sect’s plaza for tea.

The moment Yino stepped into Liuli Sect, Chaerin was already watching him from the shadows.

She watched Yino interact with Liuli Sect’s disciples with her own eyes.

During this time, Ye Chaerin had plenty of exchanges with Ruoning.

Chaerin’s first impression of Yino wasn’t bad.

First, his cultivation was indeed very high. Second, Yino had a decent personality, sunny and cheerful. He could bond with Liuli Sect’s young ladies in just a few words.

Finally, from Ye Chaerin’s observation, the Ranmo Peak pendant in Yino’s hand wasn’t fake.

Ye Chaerin knew Yuyan.

Years ago, when Yuyan came to Jiangnan Region for the Liuli Conference, Ye Chaerin’s direct disciple Ye Huai had challenged her more than once on stage.

In Ye Chaerin’s view, Ye Huai wasn’t exactly a child of destiny, but he trained hard enough. After Ye Chaerin’s guidance, he was outstanding among peers of the same realm.

But Yuyan’s talent was simply terrifying.

Even without understanding illusions or formations, she could easily block all of Ye Huai’s tricks with just her instinctive ice glaciers protecting her body.

So the sparring result was one-sided crushing.

Back then, Ye Chaerin truly admired Yuyan. She even invited Yuyan for tea afterward, talked with her, and carefully tested whether she could poach Yuyan from Wuji Sect.

Though Ye Chaerin’s status wasn’t as high as Yuyan’s master, she felt that after the heavenly fire burned down the Mo residence over ten years ago, Yuyan’s destiny had been secretly shackled.

Yuyan was no longer suitable for staying at Wuji Sect.

Her master Mu Daosheng couldn’t teach her anything, much less give her the life she wanted… Rather than staying at Wuji Sect under invisible manipulation, she’d be better off staying at Liuli Sect to cultivate under Ye Chaerin.

At least in Jiangnan Region, Ye Chaerin could protect Yuyan and prevent those hidden hands from continuing to manipulate her.

But… Maybe this was destiny.

Yuyan ultimately rejected Ye Chaerin sternly.

So from then on, Ye Chaerin had a roughly clear understanding of Yuyan in her heart, she was someone with proud bones, stubborn and unyielding, but always anxious about unknown things. She ultimately chose self-isolation, which shaped her aloof personality. Overall, she was a pitiable chosen one of destiny.

Ye Chaerin thought that someone as solitary as Yuyan would probably never have friends in her entire life.

But in last night’s conversation with Ruoning, Ye Chaerin heard that Yino was now Yuyan’s direct junior brother.

At first, Chaerin didn’t believe it. She figured Yino probably used family connections to get in through the back door.

She thought that with Yuyan’s personality, even if she had a junior, she wouldn’t have the patience to personally teach him cultivation…

But seeing it with her own eyes now, Chaerin was truly eye-opened.

Should I say reasonable yet unexpected?

Yino’s talent and personality could theoretically earn Yuyan’s appreciation. But based on Ye Chaerin’s understanding of Yuyan five years ago, she felt this was impossible!

However, Ye Chaerin could confirm one thing.

The pendant on Yino’s chest wasn’t fake.

That was the personal pendant Yuyan had worn on her chest five years ago.

For Yuyan to give Yino her personal pendant clearly represented another layer of endorsement for Yino’s character and talent.

With so many buffs stacked on Yino, Ye Chaerin suddenly found the white-clothed boy standing at the front of the crowd much more pleasing to the eye.

So Ye Chaerin was in a good mood.

She patted the anxious Ruoning’s shoulder, planning to praise her for having good taste and not picking up random wild men outside.

But the next second, Yino in front of the crowd directly announced his engagement to Ruoning publicly.

In an instant, not only did Chaerin’s lips twitch, even Ruoning beside her blushed.

“How arrogant!”

“Simply dozens… no, hundreds of times more arrogant than his senior sister was back then!”

Ye Chaerin was immediately furious.

Last night she was still thinking about how to act as mediator when Liu family elders came knocking in a few days. She’d planned to say nice words to calm both Ruoning and her family down.

Now what?

Before Chaerin could even start mediating, Yino dropped another big bombshell.

Now the entire Liuli Sect knew about Yino and Ruoning’s private affair.

In a few days, this news would probably spread throughout Jiangnan Region!

“Reckless brat! Does he think Jiangnan Region is his bathhouse where he can do whatever he wants?!”

Bang!

Ye Chaerin slammed the table and stood up. Her cold beautiful face showed clear anger.

But just as she was at the height of her anger, the white-clothed boy at the front of the plaza crowd suddenly turned around and looked toward Ye Chaerin and Ruoning’s location.

Time froze for three seconds.

First second: Ye Chaerin was stunned and didn’t react.

Second second: Ye Chaerin wondered if this was coincidence.

But the third second: Ye Chaerin met Yino’s gaze. She not only sensed some youthful arrogance in his eyes, but was shocked into a cold sweat by the oppressive feeling in that boy’s gaze… like staring into an abyss.

Something…

She felt before…

For a moment, Ye Chaerin saw some of Yuyan’s shadow in Yino’s eyes from back then on the sparring stage.

Back then, Yuyan nearly killed the Crimson Prince with one strike on the stage. Elder Zhu exploded with killing intent and shouted angrily. But even so, Yuyan didn’t restrain her sword technique at all.

At that time, Yuyan’s eyes had that same fear nothing in heaven or earth aura.

“Ruoning, your little lover truly isn’t someone to underestimate…”

Saying this, Chaerin smiled with relief.

She suddenly didn’t feel so angry anymore. After all, for ordinary people, arrogance was asking for trouble. But for children of destiny, arrogance was truly their displayed personality.

“Master… don’t be angry. Yino is very polite… He probably just sensed my aura, so he turned to see where I was…”

Ruoning was still frightened by Chaerin’s words, trying every way to defend Yino.

But Chaerin just waved her hand and leaned back in her chair, picking up her teacup.

However, in details Ruoning didn’t notice, the hand holding Ye Chaerin’s teacup was actually trembling slightly.

She didn’t know why…

Maybe it was excitement from not seeing such a genius for so long. Maybe it was instinctive fear from Yino’s gaze. Updates are released by nοvelfire.net

Either way, tonight Chaerin planned to personally find Yino for a chat.

“Not bad.”

“Your little lover is interesting. Hmph… Your master likes this kind of unruly genius.”

“Ruoning, bring him to my room tonight.”

Watching the young man’s back in the crowd, Chaerin took a light sip of hot tea and spoke indifferently.

But a moment later, noticing Ruoning’s strange stare, she realized something. She choked on her tea, sat up straight, and coughed violently twice.

Chaerin wiped her mouth and explained again:

“What I mean is, your boyfriend seems somewhat too arrogant. With this personality, you’ll definitely suffer after marrying him… So tonight, bring Yino to me. I will help you properly educate this frivolous boy.”

“Ah! I see! Thank you, Master!”
