The Millennial Old Maid

Another expert?

As this voice of opposition rang out, the hearts of everyone at the mountain peak suddenly skipped a beat.

The Sect Master himself had spoken.

Yet someone actually dared to voice an objection?

The voice sounded like a clear spring striking rocks, clear and carrying a slight magnetism. Just from the tone alone, one could tell it was a woman.

Just what kind of expert was the newcomer?

Ye Shu frowned and looked toward the source of the sound.

He saw a woman in a plain dress stepping through the void. Her face was cold and stern, like those unsmiling elders in a family, making people unconsciously feel pressured.

He had never seen her before.

She wasn't any of the Peak Masters of Qingxuan Peak either.

He subconsciously looked at his shoulder.

He saw that Xiaobai had already consciously turned her head away, not daring to look at him. Her small hands were gripping her skirt tightly, putting on a "I don't know, I don't know anything, don't ask me" expression.

Ye Shu could tell at a glance.

The idiot Xiaobai had definitely missed some crucial intelligence again.

This unreliable fellow!

On the other side, Li Daoyuan and the numerous Peak Masters who turned around to see the woman in the plain dress were clearly stunned. Their eyes revealed disbelief as they muttered, Ancestral, Ancestral Martial Mother?

Ancestral Martial Mother?!

The disciples below were all startled, looking at each other in dismay.

Even Qin Ke'er and Lin Qingxue exchanged a blank look, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.

How did an Ancestral Martial Mother suddenly pop out of nowhere?

They had completely never seen her before!

What the hell is an Ancestral Martial Mother?

Ye Shu, equally dumbfounded, gritted his back teeth and asked Xiaobai in a low voice, How come I've never heard of this before?

Of course you haven't heard of her.

Xiaobai shrank her neck and replied softly, She is the wife of the Sect Master from seven generations ago in Qingxuan, which means she is the Dao Companion of the founding patriarch of the Qingxuan Sect.

Then couldn't you just say she's the Dao Companion of the founding patriarch? I seriously suspect you're just trying to pad the word count.

Ah! That's not the point!

Xiaobai stomped her foot and said angrily, The point is, this person shouldn't be appearing now. Her corpse should be buried in the back mountain. Then, when you were comprehending the Qingxuan Sword, you would encounter her un-dissipated remnant soul by chance, obtain the inheritance of this founding patriarch's Dao Companion, conveniently help her regain clarity and restore her soul body, and then...

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Shu took over the conversation.

And then this founding patriarch's Dao Companion, during our time spent together day and night, gradually develops feelings for me, but due to ethics and morality, she doesn't dare to show it.

The most humorous part is.

This founding patriarch's Dao Companion is actually still a thousand-year-old virgin. She and the founding patriarch had a platonic romance and never even held hands.

Right?

Ye Shu wore an expression that said he had already seen through everything.

You... how did you know? Xiaobai stared at Ye Shu dumbfounded, looking completely bewildered. This is the god-tier plot that I racked my brains to come up with!

Ye Shu was so angry he laughed.

It was indeed quite god-tier.

With your trash plot, the moment you opened your mouth and spat out the first word, I knew what kind of bullshit you were going to spout.

Setting up so many female leads, are you collecting stamps here?

Then... what else can I do...

Xiaobai said pitifully, If I don't add so many female leads, how am I going to pad the word count for my graduation thesis.

After saying that, she furrowed her little brows again.

Logically speaking, after she was beaten to death fighting the demon race, she shouldn't be appearing now.

It's not even time yet!

Wait!

Ye Shu suddenly raised his hand, sharply interrupting her.

He turned his head, staring at Xiaobai suspiciously: How did you just say she died?

Beaten to death by the demon race.

Xiaobai looked as if it were a matter of course.

Why didn't you say so earlier, you scammer? Ye Shu gritted his teeth, looked at the plain-clothed woman in mid-air, and then glanced at the little Medusa standing behind him.

In just an instant, he figured everything out.

According to the First Law of Female Leads.

All female leads' affection towards him automatically dropped by a hundred percent. Also, considering this old virgin's first words were I object.

It was obvious she came with ill intentions.

So... this was actually the System's trap.

The opponent's chance of winning was never in the grand competition, or rather, they never thought about winning the grand competition.

The first link was having Mu Yunxi make a move.

The goal wasn't to let her kill him; the System knew very well that with his numerous trump cards, he couldn't be killed by a Soul Formation cultivator.

Its true purpose was to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Through Mu Yunxi, it made Li Daoyuan temporarily leave the plaza.

At this time, it was Su Qingyun's turn to enter the stage.

Letting Su Qingyun drive the beast tide forced him to ask Medusa to take action, making Medusa reveal her true form.

And the third link was the Ancestral Martial Mother right before his eyes.

As for how the System made this Ancestral Martial Mother revive, since he could do it himself, the System only needed to casually guide a female lead to make her revive early, or give her rebirth memories so she could revive herself. There were many methods.

Thinking up to this point, Ye Shu thoroughly figured out all the connections.

What a System, truly one interlocking scheme after another.

The host was actually not important at all.

She comes with ill intent.

Ye Shu stared intently at the plain-clothed woman in the sky above, suddenly stepping forward to protect Medusa behind him.

Little thief, what are you doing?

This sudden action made Medusa a bit bewildered.

Ye Shu's expression remained unchanged as he said indifferently, Fulfilling my promise.

His right hand tightly gripped a jade pendant, and his Universal Stars circulation was pushed to the absolute limit. Obviously, he was already prepared to die before Medusa did.

At the same time.

Li Daoyuan and the Peak Masters also recovered from their shock.

No one had expected that this Ancestral Martial Mother, who had died to protect the sect during the calamity on the day the Qingxuan Sect was founded, would suddenly appear here.

Furthermore...

An-Ancestral Martial Mother, you didn't die?

Li Daoyuan swallowed hard.

Even though he was now the esteemed Sect Master, the orthodox lineage of the righteous path was right there. Facing the Dao Companion of the founding patriarch, the Ancestral Martial Mother of the entire sect, he had to maintain his respect.

Not to mention her cultivation base, just in terms of seniority.

Many of the people present had grown up under the watch of this Ancestral Martial Mother. Who among them hadn't received her teachings?

Are you hoping I was dead? the plain-clothed woman said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, cold sweat broke out on Li Daoyuan's forehead.

This junior wouldn't dare.

An oppressive and solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire mountain peak.

The System couldn't help but let out a sinister cackle, Jiejiejie, Child of Destiny, you didn't expect this, did you? This System's killing blow is right here!

Let's see how you break out of this situation!
