The First Senior Sister Is an Expert in Saying Nothing

The disciples of the Nine Luminaries Sect notice something strange about their senior sister after her training expedition: she has picked up all sorts of pointless things to say.

When her master calls on her during class, she clears her throat and speaks with dramatic emphasis: "In my opinion, this question... I don't really have an opinion. Listening to Master speak is just like listening to Master speak."

Her master: "...?"

When her junior sister comes to ask her for advice, she hurries over, eyes brimming with tears. "Dear sister, the last time I saw you was the last time. Truly, not seeing you for a month feels just like not seeing you for thirty days."

Her junior sister: "...??"

But when she meets Junior Brother Jiang, who is always warm and friendly and greets her with a smile, she only snorts and walks past with her head held high. "Sunlight shines on the incense burner, purple smoke rises. Oxen and horses are right beside me! Master takes a boat and is about to leave. Can't I stop being an ox or a horse?"

Junior Brother Jiang: "...???"

This is bad. The disciples are deeply worried. Can their senior sister really shoulder the burden of being the sect's first disciple when she's acting so silly?

But before they can figure out what to do, they see their senior sister, dressed in white and holding a sword, single-handedly repel an attack by the Demon Sect.

The sect disciples: ...? We thought you were busy spouting nonsense every day. We didn't know you'd been secretly getting stronger!

Pei Yuan has been quite troubled lately. She accidentally found out that the world she lives in is a tragic romance novel.

The scumbag male lead, her junior brother Jiang Wangjin, is secretly scheming. He uses their innocent and kind-hearted junior sister to infiltrate the sect, then joins forces with the Demon Sect from within when it attacks, bringing down the whole sect in one fell swoop.

Pei Yuan: How could I let that happen?!

Luckily, she is bound to a Nonsense System. As long as she keeps spouting nonsense, her cultivation increases on the spot.

So Pei Yuan goes from person to person, doing her utmost to promote the art of pointless talk, and reflects on herself each day: Did I glare at Jiang Wangjin today? Did I make snide remarks at him? Did I go against him today?

Glared, insulted, and did... Ah, no, went against him!

After finally repelling the Demon Sect, Pei Yuan has done her part and is ready to step aside. But then that bastard Jiang Wangjin suddenly stabs her in the back!

When she wakes, she's in a pitch-black cave. Pei Yuan glares up at the man holding her in his arms. "I should have just killed you. One mistake leads to a lifetime of regret, and this regret will never end..."

Jiang Wangjin kisses the corner of her lips and replies with a smile, "Turns out you're the clown."

Pei Yuan: "...?"

When the hell did you learn to talk like me?!
