Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Chapter 524: Ch 524 – A New Powerful Ally to cling to!

Changli felt her face heat up from nervousness for two main reasons.

First, Yino had caught her off guard by kneeling to request mentorship the moment they met.

Second, the wording of Yino’s request had vaguely touched upon the vision Changli had hidden deep in her heart. She wished to change this chaotic and lawless world.

At the very least…

Changli resonated with the ambition Yino displayed. That was assuming he was not lying.

As for the matter of apprenticeship, Changli had actually planned to keep Yino by her side as a subordinate or a disciple to train later. This was her plan even before coming to the Liuli Sect.

Now that Yino was suddenly bowing and asking for it, it struck the center of Changli’s heart from every angle.

“Is this… also something I taught you?”

After thinking it over, Changli felt there was only one answer for such a coincidence.

Yino remained silent for a moment before looking up.

“Half is true, half is not.”

“Half?”

“Seeking mentorship is what you taught me in the illusion. As for the so-called philosophy… It is just wishful thinking.”

Yino maintained his kneeling posture and spoke with sincerity.

However, he had mixed in a slight lie.

The reason Yino specifically mentioned the state of the world between humans and demons in his speech was mainly due to his previous life played Fallen Immortal. Almost the entire original storyline revolved around this theme. Based on Yino’s impression of Changli from his past life, he believed she indeed held similar aspirations. Otherwise, she would not have taught her disciple, Nina, to let go of prejudice and discrimination against the demons of the Western Region.

In the end, Fallen Immortal was a story about many Immortal Cultivators embarking on a journey. They discovered the truth of the Heavenly Dao and decided to break this unfair system. They were subsequently labeled as Fallen Immortals by the authorities of the Immortal path.

Of course…

When Yino played this game for the first time, he did not think that deeply. He just saw the name Fallen Immortal, then saw the Sword Immortal heroine’s tempting black silk legs in the demo CG. He thought the game content involved corrupting a beauty. His lower body controlled his mind, and he added it directly to his shopping cart.

“Is that so? I did not expect you to have such grand ambitions and vision.”

Changli narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. While observing Yino’s expression, she dragged out her tone to test him.

She raised her chin slightly and cocked an eyebrow. “Why do you say this world is dark? Are you dissatisfied with the peaceful and prosperous age of my Dragon Dynasty?”

“Of course I am dissatisfied!”

Yino clenched his fists.

As a mixed-blood anomaly in the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, Yino had suffered cold stares from the world since childhood in this rebirth.

Even if his original intention was to lie to gain Changli’s trust, it was a coincidence that on the topic of the world’s state, perhaps no one had more right to speak than Yino.

“Your ladyship, you also know that I have been a mixed-blood since childhood. Clearly, we are all children of the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, yet the clan Elders treat me with an attitude that is worlds apart from the other siblings.”

“Aside from that, there is Auntie! Although Auntie is a distinguished guest in the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, I heard plenty of gossip in the clan when I was small. From the Elders down to the attendants, they all held some prejudice or guardedness against me and Auntie!”

At this point, Yino realized his emotions were getting a bit agitated.

However, he took a deep breath. Observing Changli’s expression, he found no disgust on her face. There were only sincerity and sympathy. So he continued.

“I will not say more about the Grand Tutor’s Mansion. After all, it is the place that raised me. Although there are prejudiced Elders, there are also grandfathers and grandmothers who truly doted on me like their own grandchild. They treated me well.”

“But later, I went to the Wuji Sect and resolved to cultivate. I saw with my own eyes the persecution of the Ancient Tree Demons by the Immortal path in the Azure Forest. I saw with my own eyes how the Primordial Phantom Butterfly was oppressed like livestock by the Liuli Sect Elders in the Liuli Illusion Realm. I saw with my own eyes how the Divine Abyss Gate’s Old Ancestor and the Crown Prince persecuted Senior Dia. What did Senior Dia do wrong? Just because she was born as a Primordial Phantom Butterfly, does she deserve to be captured to have her blood extracted or be sacrificed as a tribute?”

“Furthermore…”

“Look at how Jinyue and Yuebai are treated. Even though they serve a powerful master, they are treated like garbage and can be thrown away at any moment. Isn’t that tragic and unfair?”

By the end, Yino became agitated again. His tone was laced with sarcasm.

Initially, he might have just been acting to win Changli’s sympathy. But as he spoke, Yino really started to immerse himself in it.

After all, He was not cold-blooded enough to laugh off all misfortune and suffering.

The extermination of Wangxue’s clan, Lily’s imprisonment, the Phantom Butterfly’s prayer, Jing Chen’s despair…

Although Yino was doing well thanks to his transmigrator memories, these tragic stories that happened to others were seen by Yino. He saw them scene by scene.

It would be impossible for him to say he had no sympathy at all.

At the tea table, the beauty in the brocade dress rested her chin on flamy red her hand. She leaned on the long chair in silence for a long time.

Her phoenix eyes showed a hint of guilt and loneliness. Perhaps it was guilt for Yino’s experiences, or perhaps loneliness regarding the misfortunes occurring in this world.

Yino did not know what she was thinking.

But he knew that Changli’s soul had been moved by his words. This proved Yino had indeed spoken to her heart.
