My Brother Stole It

Shen Mansion.

Mu Ye sheathed the longsword on his back. The equipment that came with the Demon Sealer was very ordinary.

Fortunately, casting spells didn't require any specific equipment.

In the world of Sword and Blade Demon Sealing, after characters and players shared the world, although spells could be cast, they were limited. After all, this game had no spiritual energy setting; it was inherently an era of spiritual energy scarcity.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone down the path of Divine Aperture martial arts.

Mu Ye looked into the distance. The person approaching was a handsome young man wearing a snow white tight suit. Judging by his facial features, Mu Ye suspected it might be a woman disguised as a man.

As for how he judged, it was purely a feeling from playing games...

In the Cultivation World, with all sorts of obscure concealment spells, he wouldn't be able to tell.

But in the game, the feeling was very subtle. Anyway, whenever a good-looking man appeared, he would immediately suspect if it was a woman disguised as a man.

"Where did this little girl come from?" Mu Ye glanced at Madam Shen beside him.

Madam Shen was staring blankly at him. Hearing his voice, she snapped back to attention. She turned slightly, allowing the moonlight to obscure some of the blush on her face.

[Madam Shen's Favorability increased by 25/100]

What's the point of hiding?

Mu Ye thought to himself. Her favorability had increased, so it seemed this Madam Shen admired strength.

But in this chaotic world, who didn't admire strength?

"How did you know I was..." The young man, holding a cloud pattern longsword, opened his mouth but quickly shut it. He glared at the Demon Sealer in front of him with a flushed face and angry eyes.

Madam Shen quickly stepped forward and said:

"This is Shen Tianxing's... daughter, Shen Qingchan. She just had her coming-of-age ceremony this year and has been training at the Yunhai Sword Sect..."

Mu Ye heard this and thought, coming-of-age ceremony, isn't that only fifteen?

She's truly an underage yellow-haired girl.

Wait...

"A Third Grade expert at fifteen? She's already as strong as her father?" Mu Ye mused.

What kind of monster was this?

Mu Ye had heard of the Yunhai Sword Sect in Taiping City. It was a renowned major sect in the Jianghu, specializing in swordsmanship.

The sect was guarded by one of the world's top Fifth Grade Grandmasters.

"Qingchan went to Yunhai Sword Sect when she was six years old..." Madam Shen said, "She's been practicing martial arts for nearly ten years. Recently, she heard about the changes in Shen Mansion and rushed back from the sect..."

"Chan'er, don't act rashly!"

"Hmph."

The young man on the eaves flicked a sword flower, retracted his long sword, and landed steadily with a light tap of his toes.

"Ten years of study, only Third Grade?" Mu Ye repeated.

Not that impressive, huh?

So she started learning from a young age, but this kind of talent is definitely much stronger than Master Yan and the others who have been learning for decades.

If there were character tags, this little girl would definitely have a few Gold Tags like 'Martial Arts Genius' and 'Peerless Bone Structure'.

"What do you mean?" Shen Qingchan seemed to hear something, and a proud look immediately creased her brows, but she quickly suppressed it. It was clear she had good upbringing. "Aunt Yun, since I'm back, I'll protect the Shen Family from now on. You'd better send this Demon Sealer of unknown origin away."

"I always feel like this person has ill intentions, and the way he looks at you and me is wrong."

Mu Ye: "..."

[Shen Qingchan Favorability Unlocked, Current -5/100]

"No way? Underage characters have favorability too? Be careful, I'll report you, Game System?"

Of course, he was just complaining.

In fact, all the female characters in this game had favorability, and the male characters had friendliness.

It was just that most of them were passersby.

Also.

I just asked about your father's cultivation technique, and you're making a fuss?

"That won't do." Madam Shen still had an elegant Smile on her face. "As you saw just now, you might not even be able to defeat him... Besides, he has a kindness towards me, he saved my life. How can I drive him away?"

"Moreover, he is a Demon Sealer."

"If you want to find out how your father really died, you might even need to ask him."

"Because, relying on you alone, you won't be able to find the aura of demons. If you can't find demons, you can't avenge your father."

Shen Qingchan was stunned and remained silent for a long time.

"Hmph, I won't ask him for help either."

"I can do it myself!"

"A month from now, I will go to Chishui Village and personally find the demon that injured my father. I will surely slay it with my sword!"

After speaking, she walked back into her room.

Madam Shen's gaze slightly sharpened at the sight.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Mu Ye prepared to stand up and leave. "Within a month, I will give you news."

Actually, it wouldn't take a month. At most, it would take a little over ten days for Mu Ye to gather information.

Looking at Mu Ye's retreating back, Madam Shen spoke:

"That Sea-Covering Supreme Art, if you are interested, I will tell you a thing or two then."

Mu Ye's footsteps paused. He waved his hand and disappeared into the boundless night.

A moment later.

The Man in Black walked out from the shadows, his voice laced with dissatisfaction:

"Madam, you sent a Demon Sealer to gather information? Are you looking down on me?"

"In this regard, I am a professional."

"Then you gather it for me."

"This..." The Man in Black shrunk his neck. "Even without asking, I feel this matter is likely deeply involved. Let's just forget it."

"Then why are you talking nonsense?" Madam Shen said. "Without even thinking, I know it must be one of those few families who did it."

"Then you..."

"I have a bad premonition..." Madam Shen mused. "Since Shen Tianxing's accident, these people seem to be plotting something... I want to know what exactly they are trying to do. This Demon Sealer Mu Xinghe... might be a variable."

--

After a satisfying meal and drink today, Mu Ye logged off.

The next day, Mu Ye entered the game, still using his Ranger. He first went to the martial arts hall for his daily practice and to complete some quests.

"This... this... this is the Divine Aperture Diagram for the Vajra Leg... Kid, how did you get your hands on this?"

Yan Zhennan looked at him with extreme shock.

Of course, I stole it!

"I have a Brother," Mu Ye decided to tell the truth. "He has the ability to burrow and hide. I had him help me steal this item."

"Nonsense." Yan Zhennan cursed with a laugh. "If someone could burrow and hide, wouldn't they be an immortal? Would an immortal help you with petty thievery like this? And you call him your Brother..."

"Forget it, I don't care how you got it."

"Perhaps, this is destiny."

"You will definitely be able to carry forward my Master's divine art..."

"But you'll have to wait a while. These two Divine Aperture Diagrams need some time to decipher before we know the location where Master buried the Innate Qi Technique back then."

Mu Ye nodded, and then the mission completion prompt appeared.

"Also, the Vajra Leg has a higher and more difficult cultivation than the Crimson Flame Fist..." Yan Zhennan said, "You naturally can't have Tie Longgang guide you. How about this... I know a little about it. Although I can't do it myself, I understood some of it when I was in the sect years ago."

"In the future, if you encounter problems cultivating the Vajra Leg, come to me."

"I'll spar with you personally. This should ensure your cultivation speed."

With a brand new Tool of a Hall Master, Mu Ye believed he should be able to cultivate the Vajra Leg extremely quickly.

"Oh, right..." Mu Ye suddenly took out the piece of meat and handed it to Yan Zhennan, asking, "Master, do you know what kind of meat this is?"

"Hmm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhennan's expression changed slightly. He quickly pulled Mu Ye from the courtyard into the room, locked the doors and windows, and looked at Mu Ye with a solemn expression:

"Where did you get this?"

"It was from my immortal Brother. He stole it from the Iron Leg Sect when he was stealing."
