Cultivation System: All I Want Is To Fail My Mission!

Chapter 13: Encounter With Lin Xiaoyuan

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The cultivators in novels seemed to have weapon bonuses, so why was he barehanded?

Jiang Yu suddenly remembered that the reward for a mission he had previously was the sword control technique!

Whoa, there was already a tutorial. Why didn’t he hurry up and get a sword to practice with?! Otherwise, it would be a waste!

However… In today’s society, swords had basically never been blessed. Furthermore, there were too many inferior swords. The material used was not pure, so how could one cultivate well with it?

It seemed that it was not easy to get a good sword.

[Host, return home first. It’s getting late. The Yin energy in the forest is heavy, and it’s not good for your body that has yet to cultivate.]

The system began to urge him.

“What kind of theory is that? I’m already at the second level of the Body Refinement Realm, why would I be afraid of this little bit of Yin energy?” Jiang Yu laughed softly.

However, it was indeed time to go back.

There was no signal in the mountains, so he couldn’t contact anyone. The people in the villa would probably be worried. Moreover, it was not easy to stay in the mountains at night. It wouldn’t be easy to leave.

He did not want to get lost here either.

With those thoughts in mind, Jiang Yu quickened his pace and planned to reach the villa before dark.

However, in reality, he was still not fast enough.

The sky was already dark, and Jiang Yu was still some distance away from reaching the villa.

However, even if it was night, it would not affect his movements, nor would he get lost.

Jiang Yu continued to walk when suddenly, he heard a girl crying. It was especially terrifying in the dark night.

“Is there a female ghost in the mountains at night?”

Jiang Yu’s imagination has started to run wild.

He had watched a lot of horror movies in the past. Usually, the scene would start with a girl crying.

And it was terrifyingly similar to this sound. Could… Could the female ghost be targeting him? The more Jiang Yu thought about it, the more creepy he felt.

[Host! You’re cultivating right now! What are you afraid of ghosts and evil spirits?]

The System knew what its host was thinking and quickly gave him courage. [Use your abilities to defeat those ghosts!]

This reminded Jiang Yu of his current situation

He had just started cultivating. When he encountered danger, he would still subconsciously treat himself as the weak young master.

However, he was different from before. He was a cultivator. Not only did he not need to be afraid of those who bullied him, but he also did not need to be afraid of ghosts!

“Alright, I’ll go over and take a look.”

People were afraid of ghosts, but they had never seen a ghost before. This time, he wanted to see what a real ghost looked like.

He walked towards the source of the sound, one step at a time, closer and closer.

However, when he peeled off the leaves, he saw a girl sitting on a rock.

The girl’s disheveled hair made her look like a ghost.

Jiang Yu swallowed unconsciously and said as usual, “Uhm… What’s wrong with you?”

Could it really be a female ghost?

When the girl heard him, her entire body stiffened for a moment. Then, she raised her head and said in disbelief, “Jiang Yu, why are you still here?!”

This time, Jiang Yu was also shocked.

The person crying in the mountains at night was none other than his classmate, Lin Xiaoyuan!

But wasn’t she with Lin Lin? Why is she here alone?

“Where are Lin Lin and the others?” Jiang Yu asked. “Weren’t you with them? Or did they leave you here?”

If it was the latter, then it was too much!

“No,” Lin Xiaoyuan said embarrassedly, “I had some conflict with them. I didn’t eat with them and left first. In the end, I couldn’t recognize the roads in the mountains at all. I even sprained my ankle and got stuck in the crack of the rocks. I couldn’t pull it out no matter how hard I tried, so I…”

Lin Xiaoyuan wanted to cry again, but she was too embarrassed to continue crying with Jiang Yu in front of her.

She and Jiang Yu weren’t really familiar with each other. They were just acquaintances before.

However, Lin Xiaoyuan knew Jiang Yu’s personality. He wasn’t someone who was willing to meddle in other people’s business.

Besides, she was with the group of people who slandered him today. Although she spoke up for him, it was not a big deal.

Jiang Yu was now the young master of the Jiang family. With his background, he probably wouldn’t help her.

Jiang Yu did remained silent.

He remembered that when he was in school, he had been studying hard to get a good score. He had very little relationship with his classmates, including Lin Xiaoyuan.

However, he could help her now. Since she was already here, why not?

Lin Xiaoyuan noticed that the man’s eyes were fixed on the huge rock and never looked at her face.

This surprised her but also made her feel a little inexplicably disappointed.

She was surprised because he was willing to help her, and disappointed because… Because she actually couldn’t attract him!

She had many suitors in the entire school, but this man didn’t even look at her!

On second thought, Lin Xiaoyuan felt that this outcome was very logical.

He was the young master, after all. What kind of beauty had he not seen before? In the past, he had only kept a low profile in class.

“Don’t move,”

While she was in a daze, Jiang Yu suddenly reached out his hand to the stone, as if he was going to move it away.

“Hey!” Lin Xiaoyuan was shocked, “Don’t move it as you please. This rock is very heavy. Be careful not to hurt yourself!”

Boys were indeed stronger than girls, but that difference was not worth mentioning in front of this stone.

She had tried her best but was unable to pull her ankle. It wouldn’t be easy for Jiang Yu to move this stone.

However, Jiang Yu ignored her and easily moved the stone away.

“You…”

Lin Xiaoyuan didn’t know what to say.

To be precise, she was so shocked that she couldn’t say anything else.

This was because Jiang Yu seemed to have easily moved the rock away without even a wrinkle of exertion on his face.

This… If it wasn’t for his innate divine strength, he really didn’t know how to explain it.

“Can you still walk?”

Lin Xiaoyuan had twisted her ankle. It didn’t hurt that much. Of course, it still hurt a little when she walked.

However, at the moment, she had no choice but to walk on her own. She couldn’t let Jiang Yu carry her, right?

“It’ll work.”

After walking for what felt like two days, they arrived at the main mountain road. Lin Xiaoyuan bowed deeply to Jiang Yu, “I’m sorry for what happened earlier today. I apologize on behalf of my classmate.”

They had said so many outrageous things today, but Jiang Yu didn’t take it to heart. This apology was what he deserved.

But Jiang Yu didn’t seem to care about this. He just shook his head, “That’s what they did. It has nothing to do with you.”

“But we’re classmates.”

If they hadn’t come together to celebrate for her, none of this would have happened.

“Hmph!” Jiang Yu snorted coldly, “We’ve already graduated. We’re no longer classmates,”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Did he mean that they were no longer classmates?

So… In the future, would he also have nothing to do with her?

“Since we’re not classmates, don’t worry about it. Let’s go.”

But Lin Xiaoyuan still insisted, “This matter started because of me. I’m qualified to take responsibility.”

If it weren’t for this celebration banquet, all the friction wouldn’t have happened.
