A Villain Template, Pei Yun
After a good sleep, Su Li immediately woke up after feeling a slight burning feeling in her pocket.
She took out a pouch. It was the spatial pouch given to her by Wei Lan, she felt the burning source from here.
Before she put her hand in the pouch, wanting to rummage around for the heat source, a blue-ish white crystal popped out from the pouch.
After that, a voice message was heard from the crystal.
"Hello, Su Li", It was the familiar voice of Wei Lan.
"If you received this message, then that means that I am no longer who I am".
"No need to try to find me, I won't recognize you and I hope you won't recognize me either. I want you to forget everything about me because like I said, I'm probably no longer myself".
"I have left you everything the palace has in that pouch, don't lose it!. Also, remember that Treasure? the "Nine Lotus"?. That is actually the heart of the palace, and since it recognizes you then you will be the new palace master of the Nine Lotus Palace".
"Hehe, you must be surprised but anyway the palace is no more, so you should build a new one, and I will say it again, don't try to find me and if you did don't try to recognize me. Forget about me and walk your own life. Though, I would appreciate it if you can rebuild the palace".
"Oh, one last thing, that master-disciple thing we had? that's just me joking around, forget about that too. Then that's that... see you... and goodbye".
...
...
Su Li was silent the first time because she saw that it was the recording so she didn't say anything. But now that the recording has ended, she's still silent because of how much information was told in that one recording she can't really accept everything.
She was silent for a few more minutes until a knock sounded on the door.
"Hey, Su Li! come on! we have to prepare to leave!".
"Ah, coming!", Waking up from her daze, Su Li took the crystal and put it back on the pouch and put the pouch back in her pocket.
Since she absorbs the Nine Lotus she has never felt dirty at all, as if she was continuously nourished by the treasure. Of course, the place that is clean stay clean but her clothes are not a treasure after all so it's still got dirty if it touches some dust and dirt so it felt uncomfortable wearing them.
After changing to light blue clothes and putting on her bamboo hat and a blue veil she got out of her room.
She decided to focus on the things in front of her first. As for the content of the recording, Wei Lan is right, she is still very weak so she shouldn't bother for now. Besides, getting stronger is her goal from the start. To strengthen oneself is to open up more paths in the future, this is what she's aiming for.
...
"Hm, would you look at that", On the way, Yun Jin stopped her in a corner and peeked on the side?
"Hm?", following her line of sight, Su Li saw that guy, Pei Yun, pushing a female student to the wall.
...
"This... it's not appropriate", the female student said blushingly.
"Don't worry, no one will pass through here in a while", Pei Yun smiled handsomely.
"Umm...".
"It's fine if you don't make any voice, it will be quick and you will benefit greatly".
...
"Tsk tsk tsk, truly a playboy, I even saw him with a different girl yesterday", Yun Jin looked at the two people disgustingly and proceeded to shake her head.
"Well, do you want to tell her?", Su Li asked.
"Nah, I already tried to that other girl yesterday but she refused, so anyway they're on their own".
"Let's go, no need to bother with those people", Yun Jin then pulled her away.
...
"What took him so long!", Yun Jin stomp her feed fumingly.
They arrived at the designated place yesterday and so are other top rankers from yesterday except for Pei Yun.
"Hey, just leave him and let's go", A girl looked at the leader and said with an annoyed expression on her face.
"Ahem, let's just wait a few more minutes, he will definitely be here soon", said the leader with a wry smile.
"Let's just leave! it's been an hour! how long are these minutes you are saying?!".
"Yeah!", The other also started to clamor.
"Ahem ahem, ah look, here he is", The leader also felt a little pressure, after all, some of the students here had a deep background but he really can't. A second later he says this, the man himself, Pei Yun slowly walked behind their back.
He looked around with a smile, his face doesn't even have a slightly guilty expression. He walked past them and when he passed a ranker in front of Su Li, the ranker can't hold it anymore and started to attack him. A punch imbued with origin energy swung toward Pei Yun.
The punch was about to hit, but when it was a few centimeters away from him, a yellow and green bubble appeared around him. When the punch collided with the bubble, the energy inside the punch disappeared and a burst of energy blasted the attacking ranker back and crushed the hand punching Pei Yun.
"Aahhhh!", The ranker looked at his arm that was scrapped until even a speck of single dust doesn't exist, and screamed.
Pei Yun seems to just realize the attack just now, he turned around and snickered, "Ah what a dumb peasant, ah I remember you, you are that girl's boyfriend, uhh... Manju, right?".
"Hehe, she's still a virgin so I fix that problem for you, as for your arm... hey it's not my problem so deal with it yourself", after saying this, he continues walking as if nothing happening at all.
Other people that see the exchange just now have either shocked or disgusted expressions. But Yun Jin had both, "No way, an 8th rank defensive treasure?!"
"8th rank?", Su Li was also shocked when she heard her. Wei Lan told her about those treasures, it says there are 3 types of treasure, defensive, Offensive, and Auxiliary treasure. Each type has 9 ranks with 1st being the highest rank. But even so 8th rank is not weak as well, after all, it can defend the wearer from the attack of an Origin gathering experts. Most of them
This is why everyone is shocked, after all, a defensive treasure is even more precious than an Offensive treasure which was already very precious to people. Of course, Su Li doesn't know this, she only knows that it can hold off an attack from the highest Qi Gathering practitioner.
"Yeah, and not only that, it has a special feature as well. From the looks of it, it can rebound an attack as well", Yun Jin said.
"That amazing?", Su Li looked surprised when she explain it.
"Hm, sure enough, his background is not simple, I guess that explains why the leader was so nice to him, he seems to have a relationship with his higher up".
So basically he had a connection or someone in the academy with a very powerful privilege in his family.
"Ugh...", The man that lost his hand was already helped by the medical assistance from the students. The blood was stopped and his arm was bandaged. Even so, he still looked at Pei Yun with hatred.
"Um, here", Su Li took out a healing pill from her pouch and gave it to the man. At one time, she bled from her training with Wei Lan and this pill can heal her wound without leaving a scar. If she remembers correctly, it should be 9th rank pill. Though, she doesn't think it can heal a severed arm.
"... Thank you", The man looked at Su Li with gratitude.
"Go home, you are disqualified", The leader came forward, looked at the man, and said.
"What? why!", The man looked at the leader in disbelief.
"Attacking another participant outside the arena is forbidden", The leader explained as he looked at the man nonchalantly.
"But he destroys my hand!".
"It was a justified self-defense".
"But!".
"If you don't want to leave, then we will have to 'escort' you to leave".
"...", Hearing that the man became silent and decadent.
He looked at Pei Yun one last time, a little longer... as if engraving his face into his memory with iron and blood, and then left.
Before leaving he left a sentence, "I, Mo Jun, will become someone at the top, and when it arrives, I will remember what happened here".
Everyone watches him leave and the leader whispered something at someone beside him. After that, the man behind the leader disappeared. Su Li has read too many novels to know what is going on, she was about to say something but Yun Jin hold her down, "You can't save him, you shouldn't have given him that pill", Yun Jin said as she sighed.
"Ahem, well then we have been delayed for a while, let's depart now", The leader looked around and came to Pei Yun.
A big bird appeared on the horizon and as it got closer and closer, it became bigger. When it finally reaches them, it was as large as a house. It was a blue bird with a long beak and fat body.
The leader told all of them to get up the top of the bird. The leader himself had a change of attitude toward Su Li, a little kinder or so. Anyway, after they all got up, the bird flapped its wings and they fly to the direction of where the sun is.
