Transmigrated Canon Fodder, Please Calm Down! Chapter 555

When Pei Xue’s soul had been nurtured enough and she had cultivated to the point of appearing before others in physical form, Tang Guo gave her a task.

She was to explain cultivation techniques to the group of genius disciples and the entire Demon Sect.

Pei Xue indeed had eyes that could naturally see through the essence of any technique. Anything she reviewed, once broken down, would greatly improve the understanding of anyone who wasn’t a fool.

She had once been heartbroken over her past and was deeply disappointed in the Pei family.

She had heard from the Demon Sect disciples that Wen Ziqiu of Xingyue Gate had promised the Pei family many benefits, and so they decided to gloss over Feng Feiling’s attempt on her life.

Even worse, the Pei family publicly admitted that Pei Xue had once expressed her affection for Leng Yeling in front of others, indirectly helping Feng Feiling justify her actions by claiming it was because of that.

When Pei Xue heard this, she was stunned for a long time. She had grown up in the Pei family, and had tried her best not to appear useless, to be worthy of their training.

She spent countless days and nights studying cultivation techniques for the Pei family, refining the most effective paths to cultivation, just so their investment in her would not be wasted.

There is likely no pain greater than being betrayed by the very family you once loved wholeheartedly.

“Miss Pei, don’t be sad. You now have the Demon Sect behind you, and Holy Maiden Aunt is on your side.”

Pei Xue returned to herself and nodded at Ji Chengshan. “You’re right, Master Ji. I shouldn’t be sad.” She wiped her tears. “I was foolish to think the Pei family still had some affection for me. Even if they didn’t avenge me, I thought they’d at least defend my name. I never expected this…”

“Miss Pei, the Holy Maiden Aunt once gave me a technique. There are many parts I don’t understand. I’ll trouble you today.”

Ji Chengshan seemed unwilling to let Pei Xue dwell in sadness and quickly shifted the topic.

He originally had no thoughts about Pei Xue, but after the two arrived at the Demon Sect, he came to understand her more. She was a beautiful and kind-hearted girl.

He couldn’t understand how she had provoked Feng Feiling to begin with. After spending time with her, he was certain she had no feelings for Leng Yeling.

Feng Feiling had clearly just fabricated a reason to excuse herself.

Toward this girl, he began to feel not just pity, but something more.

Pei Xue, clever as she was, sensed it immediately. Neither of them spoke openly about it, though others began to notice. Whenever the two were together, no one would interrupt.

When Tang Guo heard the two were planning to become Dao companions, she was surprised.

“This must be fate,” she told the system. “After everything, these two still ended up together. Compared to their past life, where Ji Chengshan gave up cultivation to live an ordinary life with Pei Xue, this time they’ll get to stay together even longer. Though… the cost was steep.”

[Pei Xue really is remarkable.] For most women, going through something like this would take far longer to recover from.

The group of geniuses under Tang Guo trained diligently every day, and at the same time, there was considerable movement on Feng Feiling’s side.

Now that the Demon Sect’s intelligence network spanned the entire cultivation world, Tang Guo would immediately learn of even the slightest activity.

Feng Feiling, for some reason, had clashed with Zhenwu Sect again, and Wen Ziqiu was even preparing to lead the entire Xingyue Gate to suppress Zhenwu Sect.
