Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Brother doesn't like women?
Li Yuechan's eyes sparkled with a bright gossip glimmer.
She stared curiously and eagerly at her own brother, probing him with this question.
Li Muyang glanced at her sideways, still composed.
"I naturally have no interest in her," he said.
"But this hot and cold behavior... how do you explain it?"
Have I ever been anything but cold to Ning Wan'er, never warming up?
Seeing her brother respond this way, Li Yuechan sighed.
"I thought maybe you suddenly wanted to pursue Sister Ning again, so you were making up excuses for me to get close to her... But it turns out you're actually just curious about a legend from thousands of years ago?"
Li Yuechan, carrying her leftover plate, shook her head and walked away.
"A myth from thousands of years ago... why be so curious..."
"I don't get it..."
The girl couldn't understand and shook her head with a sigh.
Interested in a myth from thousands of years ago, yet disinterested in a beautiful girl like Sister Ning.
Could it be that my brother has lost interest in women...?
Li Yuechan suddenly grew anxious.
She had heard that some men simply aren't interested in women but prefer men, or even stranger things.
And there was her brother, in the prime of his youth, indifferent to beautiful girls, unmoved even by a great beauty like Sister Ning. Living in the external sect where entertainment was scarce, he never frequented brothels...
He wasn't like this before.
But now, he had become such a gentleman, not giving Sister Ning a second glance, acting dignified and graceful—an oddity.
If my brother really has no interest in women and starts liking strange things, or even men... hiss...
Li Yuechan suddenly took in a sharp breath.
Because a person came to mind.
The handsome young lad from a small town on the frontier, Guan Xiaoshun!
My brother shows no interest in beauties, nor curiosity about the brothels in the outer sect. He doesn't care much for contact with other people either. But he always favors Guan Xiaoshun, that good-looking youth!
The two of them are exceptionally close!
In this outing, my brother either plays hide-and-seek or sticks exclusively with Guan Xiaoshun, hardly speaking to others.
This...
Li Yuechan suddenly panicked.
Could it be that my brother actually likes men?
...
In the dining hall, watching his adopted sister's departing figure, Li Muyang let out a wry smile.
Along this road, with all its taverns, Jiang Xiaoyu looked back with each step, reluctant to leave, as if he desperately wanted to burst in and drink to his heart's content.
But under Li Muyang's direction, he could only pass through the entire street and leave all the taverns behind.
Finally, they arrived at the dwelling of the Human Puppet Master as indicated by the quest log.
It was an ordinary small courtyard, inconspicuous within the city.
Pushing open the door, Li Muyang saw the NPC with the [Human Puppet Master] health bar above his head.
This was an ordinary middle-aged man who looked like a teacher, emanating an elegant aura.
Jiang Xiaoyu approached, took out Luo Feng's Jade Pendant to prove his identity, and then inquired about the whereabouts of the Startling Swan Immortal Sword.
The Human Puppet Master held Luo Feng's Jade Pendant and gazed into the distance.
He seemed to be contemplating something, then, after a long while, the Human Puppet Master sighed.
[Human Puppet Master: Chaos is already manifest in the city. Nanjiang City will be a place of disputes, and often, once the flames of conflict are ignited, they cannot be extinguished.]
[Human Puppet Master: Finding the Startling Swan Immortal Sword now will not prevent the unrest.]
[Human Puppet Master: What has always been strong is not the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, but the Jade Fairy...]
The Human Puppet Master sighed softly, his eyes reflecting a complex expression.
He returned the Jade Pendant back to Jiang Xiaoyu.
[Human Puppet Master: Please tell Luo Feng not to trouble himself searching for the Immortal Sword anymore. The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation and ensure his half-demon subordinates do not get entangled in the turmoil.]
[Human Puppet Master: The Immortal Sword has never been a panacea for ruling Nanjiang City.]
Declining Jiang Xiaoyu's request, the Human Puppet Master refused to provide further guidance or answers.
Li Muyang then had no choice but to control Jiang Xiaoyu to leave and find the half-demon general, Luo Feng, in the city.
At this time, Luo Feng was gathering his half-demon subordinates in an estate within the city.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiaoyu's arrival and hearing his message, the half-demon general remained silent for a while.
[Luo Feng: ...The Human Puppet Master refused to guide us?]
[Luo Feng: If that's the case, there's only one thing to do.]
[Jiang Xiaoyu: What's that?]
[Luo Feng: I'll send two of my confidants to accompany you to see the Human Puppet Master; together, you will behead him.]
[Luo Feng: Take the Human Puppet Master's head, question his soul with dark magic; he will talk whether he wants to or not!]
The half-demon general spoke with a fierce tone, filled with an imposing air.
Li Muyang was somewhat surprised.
—This half-demon young general is brutal!
I thought he seemed so agreeable before, almost like a friendly character.
I had not expected him to resort to decapitation so readily.
This moment's half-demon general appeared even more terrifying than those scheming demons and ghouls intent on upheaval and murder.
