They embraced for a moment.
Maybe most of the effect of the alcohol had dissipated, and her consciousness was gradually becoming clearer.
Guo Yourong suddenly stood up, using her Daoist magic to undo the Immortal Binding Rope on her Eldest Senior Brother, and said in a low voice:
"E....Eldest Senior Brother, I apologize. Yurong had too much to drink earlier and was a bit out of line...."
What the heck.
The mood had escalated to this point, and this was her response?
Lin Xiao looked at the girl in the red dress standing in front of him with a confused expression, unable to help but raise an eyebrow, "Second Junior Sister, do you want to do something.... wait, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Eldest Senior Brother, Yurong came here tonight to discuss something important with you."
Guo Yourong spoke word by word, her expression returning to its usual cold seriousness.
"Go ahead, what's the matter?"
Seeing that she was being so serious, Lin Xiao felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
Guo Yourong nodded and said, "The Five Branches Martial Arts Competition, which takes place every five years, is next month. In the following days, our Branches will finalize the representatives for the competition, so... "
"What exactly are you trying to say, Junior Sister? Please, be blunt."
Hearing his sister mention the Five Branches Martial Arts Competition, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel alert.
The plot of the current Disciples Acceptance Ceremony had already fallen apart, and he absolutely would not allow any mishaps to occur in the forthcoming climax of the plot-the Five Branches Martial Arts Competition!
"Alright, Yurong will speak plainly."
Guo Yourong bit her lip, her face determined, "Yurong has a request for Eldest Senior Brother: like in previous years, do not participate! The three of us, your junior sisters, can represent Divine Phoenix Peak! And...."
At this point, she paused, her gaze becoming as heavy as water: "If Ye Chen of Tiandang Peak dares to provoke Eldest Senior Brother again at the Martial Arts Competition, Yurong will personally teach him a lesson. There's no need for you to participate and risk losing your position as the eldest disciple!"
Yes, according to the script in her mind, this Eldest Senior Brother of hers would, in front of all the chairmen and elders, on that day, demand a competition with Ye Chen!
This competition would completely ruin the proud Eldest Senior Brother's reputation and even lead to him being spurned by his Master!
At the same time, it would completely glorify Ye Chen, the scum, earning him the Sect Leader's and Elders' favor and allowing him to rise rapidly!
She, Guo Yourong, absolutely could not let this happen!
She stared unwaveringly at Eldest Senior Brother's handsome face, waiting for his answer.
However, the situation she was worried about, still happened!
"Impossible!"
Lin Xiao abruptly stood up, his face darkening, "There is no negotiation about this! As the Eldest Disciple, how can I hide behind you, my junior sisters?"
"If that brat, Ye Chen, dares to make noise, I will personally go onstage and beat him, so he dares not look straight into the eyes of any of us from the Divine Phoenix Peak!"
Lin Xiao once again exuded the aura of a villain, speaking fiercely.
What a joke!
Right now, the plot had partially deviated from its original course. This event, the Five Branches Martial Arts Competition, was almost his last chance.
As long as he seized this opportunity, got thoroughly beaten by Ye Chen, and then got punished by the beautiful Master to reflect at the Cliff of Reflection, at least his portion of the plot as the villain would be secure!
The day of becoming immortal was just ahead.
How could he allow any unexpected incidents?
He was ready to bet all his dignity on this!
Seeing his Junior Sister Guo Yourong about to speak again, as if to persuade him further, Lin Xiao cleared his throat and forcefully used the most brutal tone, "Hmph! Why do you, Junior Sister, want to boost the spirits of others and dampen ours?"
"Do you really think that I, as the Eldest Senior Brother, am just a decoration?"
"Just wait and see! On the day of the Five Branches Martial Arts Competition, as long as Ye Chen dares to come onstage, I will let him see the true terror of this world!"
We, moving forward, have no rivals!
After Lin Xiao magnificently finished his speech, he didn't pay attention to his junior sister's persuasion; he controlled his sword, turned around, and departed.
His solitary position somewhat resembled that of a clueless villain who was providing others experience.
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for successfully returning to the villain's role!"
"You received a reward: Drunken Immortal Watching Moon Step (Immortal Sect movement technique, Heaven Rank top quality, inherited from the Wine Sword Immortal of the Upper Realm, drifting without a shadow, elusive without form, able to clone oneself, greatly avoiding all attacks by Magic Treasures and Divine Skills below Nascent Soul level. When used with sword techniques, it has an incredible effect.)"
(This reward, as a passive talent, has already been automatically implanted into Host's Sea of Consciousness. Current Level: Full.)
....
"Damn it! This lousy system, you're inhuman!"
"Host was already worried about accidentally killing Ye Chen during the competition, now you're forcing more rewards on me? And it's such a practical passive movement technique! "
"Are you trying to make things harder for me!?"
High above the ground, looking at the information suddenly floating before his eyes, Lin Xiao could not hold back anymore and began to curse loudly in his mind.
At this moment, he suddenly had a ridiculous thought:
Could it be possible...
That this damn system was supposed to be loaded onto Ye Chen, but the system got the wrong master, treating Lin Xiao as the protagonist?
"Surely that can't be the case."
"As everyone knows, no matter which plane it is, an awesome existence like Heaven can't possibly have any bugs!"
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao finally felt somewhat at ease.
.
.
At the edge of the cliff.
Watching Eldest Senior Brother's determined retreating figure, Guo Yourong bore a serious expression and fell into a struggle.
"As expected, Eldest Senior Brother refused me, meaning... will he really compete with Ye Chen and embark on a no return path as the 'script' prophesized?"
"No... "
"The prophecies in the script may not be unchangeable!"
"During the daytime Disciples Acceptance Ceremony, when Eldest Senior Brother and Ye Chen had their first direct confrontation, he relied on his own strength, turned his Sword Intent into Thunder, suppressed Ye Chen with one strike, reversed the Wheel of Destiny, and overthrew the prophecy in the script!"
"Therefore, at the next Five Branches Martial Arts Competition, if Senior Brother truly faces Ye Chen, can he rewrite destiny once again?"
She clasped her hands together, silently praying.
The sound of her Third Junior Sister, Chu Youwei's breathing suddenly came from behind.
She was taken aback, but then she went over.
"Junior Sister, as long as you keep your distance and don't compete with me for Eldest Senior Brother in the future, I..."
"I actually care a lot for you."
With tender eyes, Guo Yourong reached out and caressed her junior sister's exquisite face.
