I've Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?
Chapter 53

Thus, the sloppy cultivator borrowed the fact that Xu ZiRong’s older brother owed the Sect a lot of merits. He said that if it was not repaid, he would stop supplying them with medicine. This forced the brat to work for himself.

Originally, he merely wanted to make the brat beg for his forgiveness. He hadn’t expected the boy to actually be quite strong-willed. On the first day, the brat had been tired to death, but he still wouldn’t beg. The very next day, the boy discovered a new method of accomplishing his task. Not only did the brat complete the work the sloppy cultivator had assigned him, he even did it so that it would help his cultivation.

This boy’s future accomplishments were bound to be out of the ordinary! Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0ᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Although he was not fond of Xu ZiRong, that didn’t stop Luo Yun DaoJun from thinking highly of Xu ZiRong’s future prospects. At the very least, he was amazed by Xu ZiRong’s tenacious behaviour. The sloppy cultivator had only sensed such willpower from those who had experienced many trials in life. It was astonishing that Xu ZiRong, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, would have this kind of unique characteristic.

Information regarding the Xu family brothers had long been placed onto his desk. Naturally, the files included information about Xu ZiRong’s identity.

Although this boy was the Xu family head’s illegitimate child, he had never suffered any grievances ever since he was young. Even after he had been taken back to the Xu family, he always had his older brother to take care of him. The sloppy cultivator could ponder until his head exploded, but he still wouldn’t understand just how this child acquired this kind of personality.

Ah, forget about it. Every person had their own destiny. Since the Xu family brothers were able to pass through and walk out of the fantasy array, it was enough to prove they bore no relationship with demonic cultivators. As long as they weren’t demonic cultivators, nothing could pose a problem.

As for their future growth, it was enough to slowly watch after them. After all, they still had a lot of time.

Luo Yun DaoJun withdrew his Water Mirror Art before unhappily giving Xu ZiYan a glance. “Do you feel reassured now?”

Embarrassed, Xu ZiYan nodded his head. He thought, if Master’s personality in the original Xu ZiYan’s memories wasn’t weird and temperamental, I wouldn’t go as far as to worry whether or not you were bullying ZiRong because he annoyed you……

(Xu ZiRong, who really was being bullied: ……)

Luo Yun DaoJun rubbed his chin. Who knew what he had suddenly remembered, because he suddenly lifted the corner of Xu ZiYan’s quilt. The man reached out and began pressing on Xu ZiYan’s legs.

Xu ZiYan was scared stiff. When he realized his Master was just inspecting his legs, the boy released a sigh of relief.

“You still can’t feel anything?” Luo Yun thought it was a bit weird. Since Xu ZiYan’s hands had already recovered, there was no explanation as to why his legs were still not reacting. He had never heard of that array differentiating between the upper and lower parts of one’s body when it refined one’s meridians!

Xu ZiYan shook his head. He could see Luo Yun DaoJun using both hands to pinch the lower parts of his legs, but he felt nothing at all.

d most deeply while he had still been in the Xu family.

Although Xu ZiRong couldn’t hide his big brother away, taking care of him and protecting him were still things Xu ZiRong had to personally accomplish himself.

Xu ZiYan soaked in the bath for around two shichen2. During this time, Xu ZiRong obediently stood to the side to guard him. His gaze made it seem like he could never have his fill of watching him.

After two shichen, Xu ZiRong changed the medicinal water in the bath to clean water and gave Xu ZiYan’s body a thorough rinse. Only after that did he finally help Xu ZiYan put on his clothes and then carry him back next door.

Luo Yun DaoJun had already left the room. However, beside Xu ZiYan’s bed, he left behind two strips of jade.

The contents of the jade strip basically said that after Xu ZiYan’s legs also recover their sense of perception, he should go to the Sect Leader and check in. As the top candidate of this year’s inner disciple exam, he still hadn’t taken any of the rewards he had received.

Other than the spiritual pellets, spiritual stones, and the permission to go to the Training Hall to pick a spiritual arts manual, treatment all the inner disciples received, his rewards as the top candidate included a chance to enter the Qilin Tower.

However, entering the Qilin Tower was restricted to those above the Foundation stage, so Xu ZiYan’s most important mission right now was to build his Foundation.

Building one’s Foundation required Foundation-building pellets, which could be obtained by exchanging Sect merits at the Meritorious Service Hall. However, for Xu ZiYan, someone whose current merit balance was at a negative, he naturally couldn’t go down that path to obtain a Foundation-building pellet. Thus, he could only think up a different way.

Other than those rewards, originally, the top candidate would have the ability to choose their own Master. Unfortunately for the unconscious Xu ZiYan, Luo Yun DaoJun ended up immediately kidnapping him. Xu ZiYan didn’t even have a single chance to protest……

In a flash, three days passed. Sure enough, Xu ZiYan’s legs recovered their perception. During these three days, Luo Yun DaoJun hadn’t reappeared again, although he did pass on a message to them. He told them that after they checked in with the Sect Leader, they should immediately go find him.

Xu ZiYan rubbed the lower parts of his legs. Right now, they were made out of compact muscles and were very strong, and even doing a few casual kicks could create wind. Unable to contain his joy, Xu ZiYan bounced around a bit. His legs were incomparably flexible, and he felt no residual effects at all.

“ZiRong, let’s go. It’s the perfect day to go and retrieve all our rewards.” Xu ZiYan said with a smile stretching from ear to ear.

The feeling of regaining use of both his legs really felt too wonderful. In addition, when he got up early that morning, the harsh bitterness from before had completely disappeared as well. Right now, his legs felt as if they had never been wounded before. And with his body’s current strength, it even felt as if they had gotten a bit stronger than before.

The two brothers walked along the only small path, leaving the mountain to hurry toward Qian Yuan3 Peak. Only after actually walking over did they realize just how far away the Tian Luo4 Peak they lived on was from Liu Guang Sect’s main Peak. In all honesty, if it were not for how Luo Yun DaoJun would occasionally strengthen his sense of existence in front of the Sect Leader and those other Elders, they would probably forget there was still another Peak here.

It took them a full shichen!

Only then did Xu ZiYan arrive at Qian Yuan Peak after walking from Tian Luo Peak. Unless there was an emergency within the Sect, it was forbidden to travel by flying on their swords. Only the disciples of the Peak Lords from the seven main Peaks were entitled to receive a red-crowned crane from the Spiritual Beast Garden to use as a transportation pet.

Originally, if Xu ZiYan had worshipped the Sect Leader as his Master, he naturally would have also received that kind of treatment. However, Luo Yun DaoJun’s Tian Luo Peak wasn’t one of the seven main Peaks. Rather, everyone had practically forgotten Tian Luo Peak existed.

After arriving at Qian Yuan Peak, Xu ZiRong announced his identity to the disciple guarding the entrance. The moment that disciple heard his name, his expression immediately turned into one of sympathy. It seemed like the news of a Meridian Condensation cultivator snatching Xu ZiYan from the Sect Leader had already spread thoroughly……
