**Chapter Fifty-Four: Yellow-Haired and the Main Character Attract Each Other**
A peaceful night passed, and the sun rose.
Yun Zhonghe had a simple rest that night but couldn’t wait to practice his sword as soon as dawn broke.
It might be because Mu Jixue finally finished her cultivation method transition and leveled up to the fifth tier of Foundation Establishment, so Yun Zhonghe was bursting with energy—he had no desire to rest at all.
The deduction of the Infinity Sword Technique had begun! He was exhausting resources, trying one move at a time without showing off, actually consuming spiritual energy to perform the sword techniques. After successfully executing the first ten moves, if the next move connected smoothly, that meant it was the eleventh move.
This kind of deduction was extremely resource-dependent; without enough Dan Pills to replenish his spiritual energy, he’d probably exhaust himself before he even got through a few moves.
It was like rewarding oneself to d*ath—he would turn into a dried-up husk.
So only someone like Yun Zhonghe could pull this off.
This also made him realize that even though he had such a huge advantage in the original plot, he could still mess things up. What a loser!
While deducing sword techniques, Yun Zhonghe could also practice his proficiency in the Infinity Sword Technique.
This is how he planned to spend his days.
For now, he set aside the task of befriending Huang Aotian and the female lead. He had built enough rapport recently; being too eager wouldn’t do him any good. Diving in too deep too quickly would only hurt, so he needed to let them get accustomed to his presence first, and when they got used to it, he’d slowly work on it. That way, it would get more comfortable for everyone.
Three days passed peacefully.
On the first day, when Yun Zhonghe was practicing his sword till noon, he was called out by Tao Jiu’er for a shopping trip. They had a lovely meal at a restaurant, and then headed to the eastern marketplace of Cangzhou City to buy two sets of magical robes.
This was part of the agreed compensation.
Magical robes are clothes that meet the standards of magical items, typically made of special materials to enhance defense and magic resistance.
If the robe reached the level of magical treasures, it could also enhance the cultivator’s spell attack damage, and in some cases, even speed up their training!
However, in Cangzhou City, just getting a magical item-quality robe was considered pretty excellent.
But for Tao Jiu’er, she was more concerned about how they looked rather than their practicality.
The female cultivator robes produced by Zhent宝阁 were trendy and the favorite of female cultivators.
Yun Zhonghe accompanied Tao Jiu’er for a meal, bought clothes, watched a shadow puppetry show, and indulged in candied hawthorns and pastries.
His wallet was getting thinner, and it hurt his heart a little.
Indeed, no matter what world you’re in, going out with girls is always the most money-draining activity.
However, Yun Zhonghe thought to himself, “Aren’t Tao Jiu’er and I on a date?!”
In his previous life, he died a lonely young boy, and until the very end, he didn’t have the chance to experience what it was like to be with a woman. Now he was on a date with a beautiful girl…
With that thought, he suddenly felt much more balanced inside and started to enjoy the date.
Aside from shopping and dating with Tao Jiu’er, Yun Zhonghe also took a trip to the Immortal Alliance to check on the mission he’d previously requested the front desk to publish.
After all, he received a benefit from them, so it was only natural they’d do their job right. He heard that three days ago, they had already arranged for the person he named to go to Xishuizhen to collect Celestial Dew Grass.
It would definitely take at least ten days or half a month to come back from there.
Yun Zhonghe felt a sense of relief.
Then, he returned home to practice his sword until the next day when Mu Jixue finally came to find him. He dealt with the little white-haired loli and arranged for her to stay with Lin Zhongyu.
Seeing that Lin Zhongyu was safe and sound, Mu Jixue finally relaxed.
…
The beautiful days of practicing swordsmanship flew by in the blink of an eye.
Today was the day to carry out the mission. Yun Zhonghe got everything he needed ready and packed it into his convenient Qiankun bag.
The Qiankun bag serves the same purpose as a storage ring, but the former is just a magical item, while the latter is a magical treasure—the difference is significant.
Yun Zhonghe’s Qiankun bag has a one cubic-meter capacity. Though not very large, it was enough for him.
Don’t underestimate this small Qiankun bag; it’s high-grade among magical items since it integrates the power of spatial laws, easily outshining most magical items.
Only someone of Yun Zhonghe’s status could afford to use one.
Dressed in magical robes, equipped with the golden sword, and with the Qiankun bag secured, he was ready.
Today, the weather was fantastic—bright sunshine poured over the mountain peaks shrouded in mist, bringing a refreshing feeling.
Yun Zhonghe took a deep breath; what a natural oxygen bar!
He couldn’t help but admit that the air in this world was truly fresh. Although technology was advanced in his previous life, the environmental destruction was severe, and the air quality didn’t compare to this place.
With a cheerful mood, he felt everything would go smoothly.
Yun Zhonghe was confident about this mission.
Before he left, he said goodbye to Tao Jiu’er, so she wouldn’t complain about him sneaking off without telling her.
However, Tao Jiu’er informed Yun Zhonghe that it seemed Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu had also set out early that morning, fully geared up just like him, but she didn’t know what they were up to.
Yun Zhonghe hadn’t interacted with them the past couple of days and wasn’t aware of the hidden details, but he assumed they wanted to get more training in before heading to the Xuantian Sect.
After all, once they entered the Xuantian Sect, there wouldn’t be many chances to come down the mountain.
Yun Zhonghe didn’t think too much about it; he had his own matters to attend to—heading to the Immortal Alliance in the east of town for the meet-up.
After a while, Yun Zhonghe arrived at the branch of the Immortal Alliance.
From a distance, he noticed people already waiting in the open space next to the branch.
“Uh…”
Yun Zhonghe froze, as he recognized two familiar faces in the crowd.
Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu!
Huang Aotian and the female lead were here too!
In the original plot, this mission shouldn’t have had much to do with them; Mu Jixue would just happen to pass by in the end and help him deal with the mission BOSS while rescuing the villainess cannon fodder, Qin Hongye.
But why…
Yun Zhonghe noticed the two girls, and they noticed him too.
Lin Zhongyu’s calm face suddenly sparkled with interest, while on the contrary, the white-haired loli looked as if she had just swallowed a fly.
Oh no! What’s going on! Why is this yellow-haired guy everywhere?!
Mu Jixue brought Lin Zhongyu out on a mission to avoid having her stay at Yun Manor, so the two agreed to get some additional training.
She had even chosen a mission that seemed to take a long time, hoping to spend fewer days at the Yun Manor.
But how did they end up running into Yun Zhonghe here?!
Mu Jixue was about to burst!
At this point, she wanted to scream to Lin Zhongyu: “This Yun Zhonghe must be stalking us! He has ulterior motives!”
But recalling Lin Zhongyu’s previous lecture and all the help they had gotten from Yun Zhonghe, she simply couldn’t bring herself to say that.
But her instincts told her this trip would be filled with danger.
In her life, this was the first time Mu Jixue felt on the verge of bursting into tears from frustration.
