Second Update.
---
"This is the venue for the sect entrance exam."
"The combat is about to begin. Find a place to stay here, and wait for at the back door when it's over."
Arriving at the Wuji Sect's combat arena, Yuyan gave a brief instruction and then walked alone towards the judges' seats where the elders were gathered.
Although Yuyan's words were sowhat harsh, she still personally brought Yino to the venue. On the way, she didn't seem to mind the whispers and discussions of the disciples watching them.
Who in this world doesn't know the power of the Grand Tutor's Mansion?
No need to guess, this guy must have used connections to beco Yuyan's junior brother and receive special treatnt!
Yino had already morized these kinds of comnts backwards and forwards, after all, he had overheard them many tis as the protagonist in the ga in his previous life.
Yino wasn't here to be insulted; he was here to personally observe the true face of the ga's protagonist.
For example...
Was there still a candidate nad Chen Jianxin this year?
And was Chen Jianxin still a man, and did he still have a talent for swordsmanship...
Although these doubts were absurd, seeing is believing, and Yino wasn't sure if the tiline would change after his rebirth.
Lost in thought, Yino avoided the gazes of other disciples and chose a secluded corner in the audience, coldly observing the many new students flexing their muscles in the square.
But soon, his peripheral vision noticed a man with a gloomy face—
"Ah, why is this jerk here again."
Yino dragged his face, looking lifeless as he turned away.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but Zhong Yuhe still walked towards him, stopping in front of him.
This scene was very similar to when he was confronted by small fries while playing the ga in his previous life...
Yino knew he couldn't escape this ordeal. He raised his head, looking at Yuhe with dim eyes.
Yuhe also gave a cold laugh.
But before he could speak, a girl with cherry-red pigtails stopped behind him:
"Senior brother, if you're not going to sit, please don't block the way."
She was not at all polite as she looked up at Yuhe.
The latter looked bewildered, seemingly not expecting that he, a senior brother, would be so bluntly educated by a little girl.
He wanted to say sothing, but the mont his eyes t the girl's peach-colored enchanting eyes, the thousands of words he had prepared instantly vanished.
Blood patterns reflected in Yuhe's eyes, his gaze beca blank, and he politely yielded:
"I'm sorry, please have a seat, junior sister."
He apologized politely, then turned and left calmly, as if he had never had any resentnt.
Yino, sitting nearby, witnessed this entire scene.
The girl wasn't tall but was full of vitality, with a cute face free of makeup, with just a touch of light pink charm at the corners of her eyes.
She wore the sect's standard female cultivator's robe, her cherry-red highlighted short hair tied in a low ponytail, hanging obediently over her shoulders.
No matter how many tis, Yino was still attracted by her captivating peach-colored enchanting eyes.
The girl didn't find it strange, after all, with her naturally charming body, almost everyone who t her gaze would be entranced or couldn't help but turn to look again.
Moreover... He was just a mortal who had been put under her illusion three days ago?
However, Jinyue's illusions were not omnipotent. The stronger the person she was dealing with, the greater the ntal pressure Jinyue had to bear.
So unless necessary, Jinyue generally wouldn't abuse her illusions, unless the other party was really too weak.
After a long gaze.
Yino ca back to his senses from the girl's face.
He had nothing to say, could only manage an awkward smile, then pretended nothing had happened and turned back to focus on the combat arena in the center of the square.
But coincidentally, with so many empty seats around, the red-haired girl chose to sit right next to Yino.
"He Yino, seventh young master of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, I've long heard of your na."
She sat properly, and said with a sweet voice, smiling vivaciously. In terms of cuteness, she was no less than Xinyao.
But thinking of her extrely dangerous witch identity, Yino still showed a barely noticeable difficult expression.
Jiang Jinyue...
-Today is the sect entrance exam, she should be here to find the Prophesied One, why did she have to co and bother again?-
"Don't be so cold~ I just helped you out, you know!"
She leaned forward with a face full of innocence, her light red peach blossom eyes naturally carrying a mischievous charm.
If it were an ordinary disciple, they would have already told her everything by now.
Yino knew that silence wasn't the solution, and finally sighed:
"Thank you for your help, senior sister."
"If you're willing to thank , does that an you really offended that senior brother called Zhong Yuhe?"
The girl counted on her jade-like fingers, analyzing on her own.
As she finished speaking, she glanced sideways at Yino beside her, who was still looking at the combat arena with an unchanged expression.
"Anyone with eyes can see that he looks at with ill intent."
Yino explained calmly.
Jinyue's enchanting eyes narrowed, her peach blossom eyes reflecting a aningful smile: "I heard from others that that senior brother Yuhe is a die-hard pursuer of senior sister Yuyan!"
"But you know, although senior brother Yuhe has seniority, he doesn't have much talent, and he's also timid. It's always been gossip among the disciples, but Yuhe doesn't even dare to raise his head when talking to senior sister, so I don't know if it's true..."
"Oh, I see."
Yino looked at the combat on the arena with no interest, not even turning his head to look at Jinyue.
He wanted to avoid eye contact with Jinyue as much as possible, fearing he might fall under her illusion again. Who knows, this ti she might make Yino jump onto the arena, raise both hands and shout without clothes.
Although absurd, it's not impossible.
After all, who can guess the thoughts of the Pleasure Demon?
At least, Jinyue has the ability to fool mortals, and even cultivators at Yuyan's level can't detect it.
In Fallen Immortal, she had given the protagonist no small amount of trouble.
Yino had already been tornted by her once in the main storyline when he was grinding the ga in his previous life.
Unexpectedly, even after being reborn, he still couldn't escape being targeted by Jinyue...
-Damn it fox! Did I owe you in my past life?-
He cursed inwardly.
But soon, Yino was startled again, wondering if Jinyue could also sense the curse he just made in his heart.
"By the way, how exactly did you offend senior brother Yuhe? Could it be because you're also pursuing sister Yuyan?"
Jinyue was still raising her little face, her eyes shining with gossip.
Her pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Yino with complete innocence, making it seem as if she was really an outsider, very interested in Yino's story.
-Damn fox, asking questions you already know the answers to...-
Yino couldn't help but curse her again.
But on the surface, he still sighed and reluctantly answered:
"How could that be possible, how could I be worthy of senior sister."
"It's just because I was accepted as a disciple by senior sister, and he ca to envy out of his own imagination."
Yino actually didn't want to say so much to her.
He wanted to say it's none of your business, but he didn't dare. He had been playing the role of a playboy for years, and if he was indifferent even to Jinyue's fox-like charm, it would arouse her suspicion even more.
However, even so, Jinyue's eyes still couldn't hide a hint of doubt.
She always felt that Yino was intentionally or unintentionally avoiding her eyes...
-Could it be because of the instinctive shadow left by the illusion that night?-
"So the rumors are true, you really are senior sister's junior brother!"
"By the way, is that Ranmo jade pendant on your chest real? I heard it's the exclusive token of senior sister's main peak!"
Jinyue was still enthusiastically acting like a little fan girl.
But when talking about this jade pendant, Yino's eyes clearly showed more wariness.
This was normal, after all, even Jinyue knew very well the value of this jade pendant, which ant that from now on, no one could kill Yino.
However, Jinyue wasn't worried.
She was an illusionist, and never intended to kill Yino with her own hands anyway.
"Actually, junior brother doesn't need to be so guarded against . I'm not prejudiced against you like other disciples, I'm just purely curious about how senior sister agreed to bring you up the mountain?"
Jinyue beca more restrained and spoke frankly.
In the end, she asked so much just to know why Yino didn't die that night.
This was very unreasonable.
Although Jinyue was skilled in illusions, her cultivation level was not high after all, and she had to be careful in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. So that night, after giving Yino the final hypnotic command, she ran away before Yuyan drew her sword.
Otherwise, Yuyan would definitely have detected her illusion.
So, after Jinyue left, she really didn't know what happened afterwards.
Logically, the mont Yino pushed open the bathroom door, Yuyan should have killed this peeping tom with one sword!
"Because my great-grandfather is the Grand Tutor of the court, he pulled so strings."
Yino shrugged, not hiding his background at all.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Jinyue's face gradually faded.
Her peach-colored enchanting eyes recalled so past events, and she forced a smile:
"As expected of the Grand Tutor's Mansion of the Great Dragon Dynasty, I really envy you young masters of the great dynasty..."
"Then what's your background, senior sister?"
Yino seized the opportunity and threw the topic back.
The red-haired girl was silent for a mont, then her cherry lips curled into a shaful smile: "? I'm just from an unknown small country in the western frontier, how can I compare to your mighty and powerful central plains dynasty..."
-A standard answer that fits the original character setting-
Yino thought to himself, not surprised.
Seeing that Jinyue was no longer asking questions, he also stopped making conversation and quietly watched batch after batch of new disciples take the stage on the combat arena.
Until a black-clad youth appeared in Yino's view.
"Chen Jianxin, he's still an innate sword dao holy body..."
He muttered softly, full of vigilance.
And just when Yino was most imrsed in observing, Jinyue, sitting beside him, leaned her little face over again, pointing at the black-clad youth on the stage and praising with feigned surprise:
"Junior brother Yino, look! That youth called Chen Jianxin, it seems his sword dao talent is so impressive that even senior sister is quite interested!"

Yuyan: ?_?
