Quick Transmigration: The Villain Gets Proposed to Every Day

The cold wind blew, causing his white clothes to flutter in the wind.

Perhaps the anger in Xie Ziyou’s eyes was too strong, but Wu Cong was stunned for a moment and immediately became at a loss for what to do.

The youth hastily put his hands behind his back and stammered, “I-Junior Sister, what are you saying?”

He hadn’t had time to do anything yet.

Yes, he had indeed tossed and turned in the middle of the night, unable to fall asleep. He wanted to vent his anger on that brat from the day.

This time, he had taken some of the clan’s secret medicine from Wu Zhengying, preparing to teach Guan Heng a lesson.

But when the youth walked to the entrance of the cave, the biting cold wind blew on his head. His chaotic thoughts calmed down and he suddenly calmed down.

There was no need, he thought.

Who was he, Wu Cong, and who was Guan Heng in the cave?

One was lofty and had a bright future, while the other was as lowly as dust, imprisoned on a lonely peak. Why should he lower his status and treat such a fellow as an enemy?

Brewing the clan’s secret medicine also required a lot of work, using several precious poisons. Was he worthy to use this medicine on that brat?

Because of these thoughts, Wu Cong had been hesitating. He paced back and forth at the entrance of the cave, unsure whether he should go in or not.

Unexpectedly, before he could turn around and leave, Xie Ziyou suddenly charged out from behind him.

His furrowed brows and eyes brimming with anger caught the youth off guard.

Xie Ziyou thought Wu Cong was guilty and didn’t dare admit it.

His entire chest was seething with anger. His blood rushed back and forth in his veins, pressing down on his heart. In addition to this, there was also uncontrollable anxiety and guilt that churned in protest.

Numerous negative emotions swarmed over like a volcano erupting. The pressure and anger that had been accumulating for a long time instantly captured all of his rationality.

If this person hadn’t done something bad, why was he acting so sneakily?

Guan Heng had been fine before, so why did his condition deteriorate immediately after he arrived?

This person — it wasn’t enough to bully the main character during the day, but now he wanted to add fuel to the fire at night?

The anger in Xie Ziyou’s heart grew even stronger. His slender, jade-like hands clasped together and slapped out with the wind.

“Get out of the way, don’t block the way!”

A whirlwind instantly appeared, and the icy-blue profound energy intertwined and revolved under the moonlight like a ribbon formed from starlight.

The end of the ribbon whipped past, and with a flash of light, it struck Wu Cong’s shoulder with the force of a thousand catties. Instantly, the unsuspecting youth staggered and stumbled back a few steps. His calves went limp, and he fell to the ground.

An angry shout filled with disgust entered his ears. Still at a loss, Wu Cong only felt his vision blur, leaving behind a bright afterimage in front of him.

The “girl”‘s graceful figure was as fast as lightning, and the translucent profound light was as dazzling as a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, she broke through the seal and rushed into the cave.

She stirred up a cloud of dust on the ground, instantly blowing it high into the air, and then powerlessly drifted down.

Her speed was close to breaking through the sound barrier — this had already surpassed the limit of the seventh level, and was on the verge of approaching the eighth level.

A cool breeze blew against his face, and the cold moon was eerie.

Wu Cong sat paralyzed on the ground and didn’t get up for a long time. He gazed at the dark and lightless cave in front of him, as if he was looking at the giant mouth of an abyss.

Countless feelings of frustration and dejection swarmed over him, bit by bit, drowning his silhouette.

“Junior Sister …”

The youth murmured.

“I haven’t done anything yet …”

His weak and hoarse voice drifted in the wind.

Dark clouds drifted past, covering the sky and the moon. Large swathes of shadows sprinkled down from above, and the cave in front of him grew even darker.

It was as if the abyss had opened its mouth and given him a mocking smile.

…

Xie Ziyou stepped into the cave, and the system immediately shielded all images from the outside. At the same time, it set up an invisible barrier to prevent Wu Cong from entering.

It couldn’t be helped. The host’s character would collapse at any moment, and he still had to rely on it to clean up his mess.

At this moment, Xie Ziyou wasn’t in the mood for anything else. His peach blossom eyes were slightly furrowed, and his expression was anxious. His entire mind was focused on Guan Heng, who had fainted on the ground.

With trembling hands, he carefully pinched Guan Heng’s shredded shirt, and slowly uncovered it.

The hideous wound immediately came into view. It was bright red, accompanied by greenish-purple bruises. Part of the skin and flesh had been turned over, and it was a bloody mess. It hurt Xie Ziyou’s eyes.

It was actually such a serious injury …

Xie Ziyou’s pupils shrank, and his voice unknowingly became hoarse. “System, he’s so seriously injured, and you’re telling me he’s fine?”

The System: “???”

These were just superficial wounds.

In the Xuan Fantasy World, the human body’s ability to withstand and recover injuries was generally stronger. Some rare treasures could even regrow limbs. Guan Heng’s external wounds looked terrible, but they really didn’t hurt his foundation.

But the System wisely chose to keep its mouth shut.

Xie Ziyou, who spent most of his time in the Xuan Fantasy World, knew these principles.

Its host was also concerned and confused.

Xie Ziyou’s heart ached as he held onto Guan Heng’s limp hand.

The youth’s slender and broad palm, which was always warm, as if it was holding onto a small sun, was now emitting a deathly chill.

Xie Ziyou clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and carefully sent out a gentle stream of profound energy into the youth’s body.

He immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

Guan Heng’s body was in a terrible state.

His meridians were ruptured, his internal organs were bleeding, and the thorns were not expelled in time. Instead, they flowed through his blood to the various parts of his body, blasting the blood vessels along the way with them.

The most important thing was that Guan Heng didn’t condense his profound core. After losing control of his consciousness, a large amount of profound energy went berserk, wreaking havoc in his abdomen. Wherever it passed, it was as if a violent gale had passed through, leaving not even a blade of grass alive.

Xie Ziyou’s eyebrows drooped, and his eyes faintly glistened.

How did it worsen to this extent?

“Give me one …”

The System was considerate, “Heaven Defying Life-Saving Pill, right?”

I’ve already prepared it for you.

But Xie Ziyou hesitated for a moment, clenched his teeth, and shook his head, “No, two.”

The System: “…”

The System was extremely helpless.

It was obvious that one pill was enough, and the products of the company were all top-quality products. Two pills were a waste — — Since when had its host been so wasteful?

But when it saw Xie Ziyou’s bloodshot peach blossom eyes, his jade-like pale skin, and the tip of his red nose, its heart trembled, and it wisely chose to shut its mouth.

A bottle full of jade-green medicinal liquid fell into Xie Ziyou’s hands.

As soon as he uncorked the bottle, the fragrance of fresh flowers and fruits filled the cave.

Before Xie Ziyou could throw the dagger at the System, the System turned around and said, “I understand, I’m not looking.”

Xie Ziyou: “…”

He bit his lips, and his cheeks flushed red. His eyes were slightly closed, and his feathered eyelashes trembled violently. He slowly lowered his body.

A patch of softness.

The refreshing and clean smell of sunlight. Although there was a strong stench of blood, it still couldn’t conceal the unique aura of a young man.

Xie Ziyou’s face was burning. He tried his best to force himself to empty his thoughts, not to put his attention on the warm touch between his lips.

He supported Guan Heng with one hand, and his gaze drifted across the young man’s muscular chest.

With so many wounds, he didn’t know if there would be any scars …

His teeth didn’t seem to be as tightly shut as last time, but he could pry them open very quickly …

Just as his thoughts ran wild, the person beneath him suddenly twitched violently. His chest slightly trembled, and a few low coughs escaped his throat.

Xie Ziyou: “!!!”

He stood up with a swoosh, and his profound energy instantly condensed beneath his feet. The dark blue light shone brightly, and like a shooting star, he turned around and ran!

It was the system that stopped him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Wait, You You, he’s not awake, he’s not awake.”

Is this for real?

Xie Ziyou barely managed to hold onto the entrance of the cave.

His face was burning, and his breathing was ragged. He held onto the edge of the cave and carefully poked out half of his head. He stared suspiciously at the young man lying under the rock wall.

After a few seconds, the young man’s breathing gradually calmed down. His head was tilted to one side, and he looked like he was in deep sleep.

Seeing this, Xie Ziyou quietly let out a sigh of relief.

He probably choked when he was feeding himself the medicine.

That’s right, he couldn’t be so unlucky every time, and always be caught by the master when he was secretly doing something bad … No, that’s not right! How was he doing something bad?

He was clearly doing something good, silently and selflessly contributing to the cause!

His head was dizzy from the heat, and his thoughts were all in a mess. Xie Ziyou covered his face with both hands, and tried to use his slightly cold fingers to cool himself down.

He shrunk at the entrance of the cave, one foot outside the cave, and one foot inside the cave. For a moment, he hesitated, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

He really wanted to see how the medicine worked … But what if Guan Heng really woke up?

Just as he was at a loss, Xie Ziyou’s ears twitched, and he suddenly heard an extremely subtle whisper.

Guan Heng fell to the ground, his head turning to the side. His handsome eyebrows furrowed in pain, and a few strands of hair floated down from his forehead, blocking his eyes.

Xie Ziyou’s sharp eyes saw that his thin lips were slightly parted, and he let out a low murmur.

“You You …”

The youth’s voice was hoarse, his eyes tightly shut, as if he was enduring great pain and sorrow.

Like a drowning man, he was tightly grasping at the last straw, putting all his hopes on it. He was worried that the straw was fragile, afraid that his heavy body would crush the straw.

He could only sigh softly, carefully, from between his lips.

“You You, are you secretly kissing me?”

Xie Ziyou: “!!!”

Was this guy asleep or awake?!

Xie Ziyou abruptly shrank back.

His entire body and mind were on full alert, ready to flee at any moment. Through the thick stone wall, he quietly pricked up his ears, his gaze locked onto Guan Heng’s body, taking in all the subtle changes in the youth’s body.

There was a long silence.

Time passed minute by minute. The mountain wind gradually filled the cave, whistling loudly as it circled around the pillars. The faint cries of egrets could be heard from the distant sky.

Guan Heng still looked like he was in a deep coma.

Xie Ziyou quietly let out a sigh of relief. His eyelids were slightly closed, and his feathery eyelashes fell down, blocking the tired peach blossom eyes.

It was good that he wasn’t awake.

Those subtle murmurs were perhaps unconscious, like the murmurs of a person with a high fever.

Once the medicine was delivered, he could go back.

But as he turned to leave, Xie Ziyou couldn’t help but perk up his ears, trying to catch the murmurs in the air.

The youth’s voice was extremely low, and his lips and teeth opened and closed soundlessly. His voice was weak, and it wasn’t as loud as the wind. Xie Ziyou listened attentively for a long time, and his heart grew heavier and heavier.

He could only hear one word, a word that was repeated the most, and almost every word was mentioned.

“You You.”

“You You …”

“You You …”

Again and again, it caused Xie Ziyou’s heart to tremble.

It was so weak, yet unwavering. Because his lips and teeth weren’t clear, his tone was filled with tenderness and sweetness, as if it could turn the cold into spring water.

Xie Ziyou fiercely licked his back teeth, momentarily panicking.

Stupid protagonist, your You You is dead, and won’t come back!

A low voice that was like a bee’s trembling continued to enter his ears, turning into thin needles that gently stabbed into the softest corner of his heart, causing a tingling sensation.

Xie Ziyou was forced to the point where he wanted to cover his ears.

But his hands seemed to be filled with lead, frozen at the sides of his body. Even his fingertips were stiff, and he couldn’t move at all.

He stood rooted to the ground, and the whispers were accompanied by the wind, passing through his eardrums and clearly entering his mind.

“You You,” Guan Heng’s voice was slightly hoarse, and he muttered in a low voice, “Can you not go …”

Full of reluctance and helplessness, and even a hint of pleading.

So carefully, as if he was holding the world’s most beautiful, precious, and fragile porcelain. He didn’t even dare to touch it, didn’t even dare to call out.

Xie Ziyou suddenly felt a strong urge to cry.

Guan Heng, oh Guan Heng, aren’t you very smart?

Why are you so stupid now?

Feeling extremely helpless, Xie Ziyou raised his head and looked at the starry night sky. He closed his eyes deeply.

But when he closed his eyes, images flashed in front of his eyes. They were of a young man in the Luo Ridge, smiling like the spring breeze.

In his short life as a host, he had never paid so much attention to a main character as he did to Guan Heng.

And this main character was very good, very good. He wasn’t like the usual Long Aotian, who was arrogant and arrogant because of his favor. He was gentle, considerate, intelligent, and cheerful. He was handsome and kind, and he was good at cooking.

When he smiled, his eyes were always very gentle, and when he was fully focused, his eyes glowed with a faint light.

Being stared at by Guan Heng always gave Xie Ziyou the illusion that he was being carefully protected by someone in his heart.

Xie Ziyou’s heart trembled, and he was suffocated by the constant whispers.

His chest heaved violently, and he stood silently in the cold wind for a long time.

As the night grew darker, snow began to fall from the peak. The white snowflakes fluttered in the air, landing on the similarly pure white Liu Xian Dress. They quietly gathered into ice, as if the heavens and earth were reluctant to part with it.

After a long time, Xie Ziyou suddenly let out a long sigh.

Long white steam came out of his red mouth, drifting into the distance along with the wind and snow. It was the only warmth in the cold of the lonely peak.

Xie Ziyou slowly turned around and stepped into the cave.

His footsteps became faster and faster, and in the end, he almost sprinted to Guan Heng’s side. After a slight pause, he resolutely bent down and placed a light kiss on the youth’s warm lips.

It was like a dragonfly touching the water.

“I’m kissing you.”

Xie Ziyou’s eyelashes trembled, and the blush spread from his cheeks to his ears. His eyes were very focused as he said seriously, “I’m not secretly kissing, it’s just a fair and square kiss.”

Guan Heng’s calm breathing stopped for a moment.

He was still sleeping peacefully, but his right hand was hidden in a place where Xie Ziyou couldn’t see, and his thumb quietly dug into his palm.

So much force that his knuckles turned white, and he struggled to suppress it.

Xie Ziyou brushed aside the youth’s fluttering hair, and his fingertips gently kneaded Guan Heng’s tightly knitted brows.

“You have to force me to admit it … … so annoying!”

Xie Ziyou’s kneading hand gradually tightened, moving down to the side of Guan Heng’s face. He pinched the youth’s cheeks in a fit of pique.

“I admit, I’ve kissed you. Are you happy now?”

The person beneath him seemed to be completely unaware. No matter how Xie Ziyou rubbed his face, Guan Heng didn’t react at all.

Xie Ziyou lowered his eyelids and muttered, “I’ve already admitted it. Can’t you recuperate and get better quickly?”

Get better quickly, Guan Heng.

I want to see that high-spirited, cunning, and intelligent you.

… …

The night was quiet, and Mount Han was lonely. A long cry came from the distant mountains. A giant black bird flapped its wings and soared into the sky, its broad wings streaking across the stars like rain.

The bright moon swept past, and the clear light reappeared. The silver light was as gentle as water.

After Xie Ziyou left, the cave on the Repentance Cliff once again became deathly silent.

But in the dark, something seemed to have changed. The howling wind was cut off by the jagged rocks, becoming low and gentle, as if it couldn’t bear to whisper clearly.

In the cave, Guan Heng quietly opened his eyes.

In the dim light, the youth’s bright black eyes shone brightly, as if flames were dancing and stars were twinkling.

Where was the slightest trace of faintness?

“You You … …” Guan Heng sighed lightly.

His voice became softer and softer. Finally, he started to laugh silently, like a cat that had stolen something. His right hand gently lifted, his slender index finger slowly stroking his lips.

He really hadn’t thought that the truth would be like this.

The youth took a deep breath and slowly raised his head. His left hand quietly moved across the palm of his right hand.

Two hours ago, when he had lost all hope, he accidentally raised his hand and hit something — — it seemed to be a moth.

That thing that only knew how to buzz in his ears, after being hit, let out a long sigh in Guan Heng’s mind.

In that instant, the world in Guan Heng’s eyes turned upside down. The rocks turned into nothingness, and an invisible golden line pierced through the sky and earth. He floated in the darkness and looked at the end of the line. Suddenly, he saw the youth that he was yearning for.

The beautiful amber eyes were faintly sad, and the flame pattern on his forehead seemed to have lost its color. The youth blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes, staring through the thick stone wall in a daze.

Overjoyed, Guan Heng blurted out, “You You!”

You You heard him.

His expression changed. Not only was he not happy, he turned around in panic. Before Guan Heng could shout anything else, the youth had already disappeared in front of him.

In the next second, the world returned to its original state. The tiny golden line drilled into Guan Heng’s palm and quietly disappeared, as if it had used up all its energy.

In front of him was a thick stone wall, an impenetrable barrier. Even the sound of the wind was muffled.

Was it an illusion?

… … No, it was impossible.

Guan Heng thought to himself, he didn’t believe this.

The youth dragged his heavily injured body to the stone wall. He propped himself up and carefully examined it inch by inch.

After a long time, he finally found a clue — there was a small hole at the bottom of the stone wall. It was the size of a fingernail, and it didn’t contain any dust. The exposed side of the rock was the color of not being exposed to the air all year round. It was clear that it had just been dug out.

You You had definitely been here before.

He didn’t die.

The warm wind blew across the valley, climbed up the high rocks, and quietly entered the small hole, bringing a hint of freshness to the oppressive cave.

Guan Heng silently gazed at the small hole, thinking for a long time.

He clenched his fingers bit by bit. Making up his mind, he quietly closed his eyes and turned his head to the ground.

At the same time, the youth released all of his control over the profound energy in his body, allowing the sharp air currents to crazily wrap around his internal organs. He forcefully endured the pain of being cut by a thousand cuts and closed his eyes.

If You You was still alive, he definitely wouldn’t abandon him, right?

Let me see you again, let me know that you’re actually alive and well. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to see me. I won’t open my eyes, I won’t wake up, you can …

… you can stay a little longer.

This was a huge gamble with one’s life.

Fortunately, he won the bet.

But …

After the initial surprise gradually calmed down, Guan Heng gazed at the bright moonlight falling from the ceiling of the cave, once again falling into deep thought.

He only wanted You You to come, but he didn’t expect it to be Xie Ziyou.

So Xie Ziyou, the Goddess Xie of the Central Academy, was the You You that he secretly admired?

Thinking about it, there seemed to be an explanation for You You’s frequent disappearance.

Guan Heng closed his eyes, and the scenes of his life in the Luo Ridge flashed before his eyes. A large number of suspicious points that he had once neglected, or was unwilling to think about, were excavated from the depths of his memory, neatly arranged in his mind.

Why did You You know about his engagement, and why did he not want him to call “Xie Ziyou” “wife”?

Why was the effect of the elixir in his hands so remarkable that even a dying person could recover in one night?

And the youth clearly remembered the taste of the elixir. It was refreshing and sweet, emitting a faint fruity aroma. Back when he had fallen off the cliff, You You had used this elixir to save his life.

Guan Heng squatted on the ground, his arms crossed, his back leaning against the rock wall. The more he thought about it, the more confused his mind became.

He clearly knew the truth, but his doubts did not diminish, but instead increased, popping up one by one.

Why did You You hide his identity?

Why did he stay by my side for two years?

Could it be that … he has liked me since the beginning???

…

In the Central College, the colorless restriction on the high wall quietly melted, and a small hole half the height of a person appeared in the air.

Xie Ziyou, who was wearing a long white dress, carefully crawled out of the hole.

He picked up her hair with one hand, and his nimble blue eyes scanned the surroundings. Seeing that there was no one around, he raised his hand to grab onto the high wall of his courtyard, exerted strength under his palm, and leaped up.

Her elegant and agile figure was carried by the breeze, and she slowly landed on the ground. Her thin silk dress fluttered in the wind, revealing her fair ankles.

In the outer courtyard, the sound of the maid’s steady breathing did not change. The courtyard was quiet, except for the swaying fish in the lake, which created ripples in the water.

Xie Ziyou nodded secretly.

Fortunately, Youqin and the others were not awake, so he did not reveal himself.

The moonlight pierced through the treetops, sprinkling down a clear glow, and the stars twinkled. He looked down at the fairies of the Central College, who were sneaking around like thieves in the shadows under the eaves. Their beautiful eyes looked left and right, and in the end, they slipped into the room and closed the door quietly.

Xie Ziyou threw his head onto the soft bed, and buried his head into the soft pillow. Smelling the elegant fragrance, Xie Ziyou heaved a sigh of relief.

The day had been too tiring.

What had happened was more than the previous two years combined.

The System stopped on the light blue silk curtain at the head of the bed, and hesitated, “You You …”

“Don’t talk.”

Xie Ziyou pulled up the quilt and covered his head, his skinny body curled up into a ball, and his voice carried a thick nasal sound, looking very tired.

“I’m really too sleepy, let’s sleep first, we can talk about it tomorrow.”

The System looked at the bulging lump on the bed, sighed helplessly, and closed its mouth considerately.

It could understand.

The Host’s mood had fluctuated too much today, no wonder it was so tired.

Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow, let’s let You You have a good rest first.

System 011 yawned, folded its wings, and leaned over the curtain.

The faint buzzing of the bees quietly disappeared, and the quiet courtyard returned to tranquility. The night breeze blew softly, and the end of the curtain gently fluttered.

The sound of water splashing could be heard from the front yard, as if a fish had jumped into the water with its tail wagging.

After a long time —

“Splash!”

The quilt was suddenly flung open, and it fell to the side.

In the darkness, Xie Ziyou suddenly sat up, the darkness obscuring his exquisite facial features, leaving only a glimmer of light in his bright eyes.

Damn it!

“System, System,” Xie Ziyou gritted his teeth, his voice slightly hoarse, “Do you think Guan Heng is asleep or awake today?”

“… Isn’t there something we can talk about tomorrow?”

“… But I don’t understand, I can’t sleep!”

“Can I help you broadcast a lullaby?”

“…”

Xie Ziyou clutched his head in despair. His silky black hair slid down his fingers, scattering on the soft white bed. “Ahhhh, bastard!”

His impulsive impulse had caused two streams of tears to flow down his face. Was he still wearing Schrodinger’s armor?

Bastard Guan Heng!

He would give him a hard time!

…

At the foot of the mountain, inside and outside the courtyard, after the clouds had cleared, the moonlight shone brightly, filling the entire courtyard.

This was destined to be a sleepless night.

Not far from Xie Ziyou, who was tossing and turning, another verdant courtyard was also brightly lit, and had not been extinguished all night.

The gloomy young man stood by the window, slightly raising his head, gazing at the distant lone peak that pierced through the clouds. His eyes revealed undisguised annoyance and disgust.

He clenched his fingers tightly, and a light-colored medicine bag was squeezed until it was deformed. It faintly exuded a sweet and strange fragrance.

The young man behind him said cautiously, “Brother Cong, Mother told me to take this medicine for self-defense before we left. If you don’t think the poison is strong enough, I have something else —”

“There’s no need!”

Wu Cong’s voice was irritated. He impatiently flung the medicine bag and slammed it into the wall behind Wu Zhengying. The young man hurriedly took a few steps back and carefully caught it.

He carefully raised his head and glanced at Wu Cong. His Adam’s apple bobbed a few times, but he finally couldn’t resist saying, “Brother Cong, I won first place in the academy selection today …”

Without someone like Guan Heng, who had broken the balance, the examination finally proceeded as usual.

Although Wu Zhengying hadn’t obtained the protagonist template, as the son of a cultivator family, he was still very good at torturing others.

At least this allowed the young man to regain some confidence.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Wu Cong with eyes full of expectation, hoping to receive the slightest bit of praise.

But Wu Cong didn’t even give him a glimpse of the light.

The young man’s face was as dark as water as he glared at the distant lone peak with a sinister gaze. His mind was filled with Junior Sister’s angry face as she waved her hand.

The azure profound energy carried the unique chill of the Ice Force and pounced at him. The chill spread along his shoulders and chilled all the way to the bottom of his heart.

When had Junior Sister ever cared so much about others?

He, Wu Cong, swore with his intuition as a love rival … Ah pui, as a suitor, that there was definitely something fishy going on between Junior Sister and that kid!

Wu Cong clenched his teeth. The more he thought about it, the more indignant he felt.

With his status and status, anything he wanted could be done with a flick of his hand.

This was the first time in his life that he had fallen in love with a girl. He had put down his status and carefully fawned over her. His family’s forces had all come together — but in the end, he was actually no match for a wild kid?

Was there any justice in this?

No, this won’t do. Junior Sister must have been deceived by that kid. I have to make her wake up …

In front of the window, the handsome young man’s expression gradually turned into one of deep thought. His brows were tightly furrowed as he gazed at the long night, lost in thought.

A cool breeze swept past, the candlelight flickered, and the sound of insects came from under the windowsill. It was hoarse and distant, as if they were weeping.

Behind the young man, there was no response for a long time. Wu Zhengying’s fervent gaze dimmed bit by bit.

The young man drooped his head, feeling extremely wronged in his heart.

He had clearly done his best, but why was his clan brother, whom he admired the most, still not willing to look at him?

… …

The candlelight flickered, and wax tears slowly flowed down.

When the last wisp of flame was submerged in the melted white wax, the long night finally passed. The moon dimmed, the stars were hidden, and the distant horizon was covered in a fiery red color.

Xie Ziyou sat cross-legged on the bed after thinking for an entire night, his hair was messy, and his eyes were slightly dark. He propped up his chin and stared out of the window.

He blinked his dry eyelids strenuously. His entire body was exhausted, and he thought to himself, F * ck.

Isn’t it just a disguise?

If you can’t get rid of it, I won’t serve you!

The young man pulled down the curtains in a fit of pique, flipped over, and laid down. He pulled up the quilt to the top of his head.

Sleep, sleep.

The sky was already bright, and he had yet to sleep.

But not long after Xie Ziyou laid down, a loud thud came from outside the red-robed wooden door. You Qin knocked on the door and called out in a clear voice, “Miss?”

“Is Miss up? The Academy has sent someone here, saying that the Dean has something important to attend to, and wants Miss to go to the library. ”

“Ahhhhhh!”

Xie Ziyou grabbed the quilt tightly, covered his head tightly, and rolled around in the corner.

I can’t get up, I want to sleep!

The System looked at the wriggling brocade quilt at the edge of the bed, and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You You?”

“Son of a b * tch, you’re not listening!”

At the same time, in the Thousand Year Cold Cave by the Reflection Cliff, Guan Heng, who had also stayed up all night, took a deep breath and smiled.

He pondered for an entire night, and finally made some progress.

Guan Heng realized that he had been neglecting one thing. Xie Ziyou wasn’t just the little fairy of the Central Academy, he was also the “daughter” of the Xie family’s patriarch, the key to the Xie family’s rapid rise.

The Xie family’s development process was too similar to the Guan family.

The Guan family relied on a marriage contract, and in just a few years, they had become one of the biggest families around Luo County. How similar was Xie Ziyou’s role in the Xie family to Guan Heng’s relationship with the Guan family?

Thinking of this, Guan Heng suddenly couldn’t help but feel his heart ache.

He didn’t know which step went wrong when the rumors were spreading, and he got You You’s gender wrong.

Or perhaps the Xie family’s patriarch had this idea from the beginning. After all, a man with extraordinary talent and a woman with great potential would give the outside world a completely different impression.

The former was fearsome, while the latter was easier to win over.

The cold wind whistled in his ears, and the dazzling but slightly chilly rays of dawn shone through the small holes in the stone wall, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

The youth leaned against the stone wall, his fingertips brushing across the rough stone wall. He couldn’t help but sigh, his gentle black eyes filled with pity and reluctance.

He knew how hard it was to be the pillar of a family.

Everyone was eagerly watching, hoping that “she” would quickly become stronger and bring glory to the family — but who had considered You You’s true thoughts?

Did “she” like to hide her gender and identity like this?

Did “she” also feel overwhelmed, and secretly wipe her tears in the moonless night? Did she also hate cultivation, and at some point, feel the urge to give up?

“You You …” Guan Heng murmured silently, his gaze drifting away. “So we’re the same.”

Both were bound by the family, both were pushed forward by responsibility.

But because they had their loved ones behind them, they were willing, clenching their teeth, shouldering all the suffering on their shoulders, and treading on a path full of thorns.

“That’s why you came to me and saved my life, right?”

On the endless path, a bright mirror suddenly lit up. The light and shadow in the mirror dimmed, reflecting two souls that were so similar and so pitiful.

So he couldn’t help but want to get closer, wanting to see the final outcome of the other person — but Guan Heng’s outcome was still hopeless. After losing his value, he was betrayed by his family, abandoned by the family, and fled all the way to Luo Ridge. He was hunted down by his fiancée’s maid, and almost lost his life.

Thinking of his father and his family, Guan Heng’s pupils shrank, and a dull pain rose in his chest. The wound that hadn’t yet healed suddenly tore open, and blood sprayed out.

He suddenly closed his eyes, his hands clenched, and his fingertips dug into his palms.

This fiancé of his was probably a shield that the Xie family had prepared beforehand.

On one hand, he used the marriage contract of “saving their lives” to shut the mouths of the other families, and on the other, he used the word “delay” to prevent Xie Ziyou from actually marrying into the Guan family. He used an ambiguous attitude to give hope to the other geniuses, using their help to develop the family.

You You was so smart, there was no way he couldn’t figure this out.

But he still came to break off the engagement.

He probably wanted to use the most intense and humiliating way possible to tell the world that the Xie family had nothing to do with the Guan family.

In this way, the Guan family that had lost their support might be in decline, but at least they wouldn’t become the victims of the various families in the capital to vent their anger.

Unfortunately, You You had met him, a troublemaker, and he failed to break off the engagement. Instead, he blew the news out of proportion and made it known to everyone.

You You had no choice but to pretend to injure “Guan Heng”, and then use another form to rush over and save his life.

That’s right, that must be the case.

“You You, You You …”

A bitter smile appeared on Guan Heng’s lips.

“I’m so stupid, I didn’t understand your good intentions until today.”

But it didn’t matter.

The youth’s gaze gradually softened.

He raised his hand and grasped the light that came from the small hole. The faint golden light of dawn sprinkled across his palm, dyeing the fine lines of his palm a brilliant gold.

“You You, everyone admires your beauty and beauty. They covet your spiritualized body and peerless cultivation talent. They think you’re the goddess of the Xie family.

But in my heart, you’ll always be the greedy, soft-hearted, and stubborn one. You’ll throw the cultivation manual in my face, and when you’re angry, your eyes will be watery.

“I don’t care if you’re a man or a woman. I only know that you’re You You, the person I’ve decided on.”

Guan Heng’s eyes darkened. His ten fingers slowly closed, and he grasped the ray of sunlight into his palm.

“You You, I will become stronger. I will become the strongest person on the continent that you speak of.”

But it wasn’t for the sake of slapping his face.

“If one day, your identity is exposed, and everyone hates you, don’t worry.”

I will definitely stand by your side in an open and aboveboard manner.

In the quiet cave, the handsome youth was lost in thought. His gaze was devout and determined.

…

The cold wind howled, and in the depths of the lonely peak, the dust in the cave silently swirled.

Large patches of sand emerged from the end of the cave, gushing like a spring.

The wind gradually quieted.

Blocked by the rocks in the cave, and out of Guan Heng’s sight, the quicksand spread out silently, and an old man slowly emerged from the center.

The old man bent his knees and bent his back. His posture was stooped, and his brows were covered in fine wrinkles. His mottled white hair covered most of his face. His white hair was slightly longer, and as the old man tilted his head, the ends of his hair swayed back and forth on his shoulders.

His light grey eyes were dark and gloomy, staring at Guan Heng, who was deep in thought. He muttered to himself, “It really is chaos …”

“Good, good, really a good child. I didn’t wait for another five years in vain!”

The old man clicked his tongue for a moment, and his eyes gradually brightened.

His surprised voice finally alarmed Guan Heng. The youth’s eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly turned around. He asked warily, “Who is it?”

The old man slowly walked out from behind the cave.

“Don’t be afraid, child. Don’t be afraid.”

He walked under the first rays of the morning sun, and the pale golden sunlight illuminated his face. His grey eyes became more and more focused, as serene as the deep sea.

Guan Heng stared at the old man who suddenly appeared, and his brows furrowed.

For some reason, he felt a strong sense of disharmony from the person in front of him.

Especially when the old man pushed aside his white hair, revealing a young and handsome face that was covered in wrinkles, and a pair of gorgeous lips that seemed to have drunk blood.

“Haha …”

The old man grinned and slowly chuckled. His laughter was barely audible at first, but it gradually grew louder and louder. His sharp laughter reverberated between the stone walls, making Guan Heng want to cover his ears.

“I’m sorry, child.” The old man laughed. “I’m so happy. I’ve been waiting for this … I’ve been waiting for you for so long that I’ve almost reached my limit.”

“You’re great, you’re outstanding, you have more potential than any of my disciples. Even Xie Ziyou can’t compare to you — you’re simply a gift from the heavens!”

Just as he finished speaking, a blur suddenly flashed in front of Guan Heng!

The old man’s appearance was unremarkable, and his footsteps were staggering. But at this moment, he suddenly burst forth with a speed that almost surpassed the limits of what the naked eye could see. Guan Heng only felt a flash in front of him, and in the next second, his wrist suddenly felt cold — —

Five eagle hook-like thin, shriveled, but unusually sharp fingers suddenly grabbed his right wrist.

Guan Heng’s entire body shook. “What are you doing?!”

He swung his arm with all his might, trying to peel off the old man’s hand from his wrist.

But the old man’s shriveled fingertips were tightly gripping his wrist. His curved fingernails glowed coldly under the morning sun, as cold as silver hooks.

“Don’t move, child, don’t move.”

The old man stepped forward, his murky eyes rippling with silver-gray water. His bright lips moved. “Let me see, let me see you clearly —”

A wisp of grey gas silently shot out from the old man’s fingertips, avoiding Guan Heng’s line of sight. It wriggled a few times like an earthworm, circled around the area where the two people’s skin touched, and quietly disappeared under Guan Heng’s skin.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The rough touch of the old man’s palm made Guan Heng feel extremely uncomfortable, concealing the feeling of the grey gas entering his body.

The grey gas was also agile, as if it was a living thing. After burrowing under his skin, it immediately hid in his blood vessels, merging with everything around it. Following the flow of blood, it flowed towards his heart.

Guan Heng’s brows furrowed. Just as he was about to say something, the old man suddenly took half a step back and loosened his grip.

He laughed heartily, the light in his eyes becoming even brighter. His brows curved, revealing a strange affection.

“That’s right, that’s right. You are indeed a good child.”

“Child, let me ask you — are you willing to be my teacher and my last disciple?”

Guan Heng: “…”

Was this person really looking for his last disciple?

Why did he feel that the old man was looking at him like he was looking at a plate of food and wine?

The slight resistance on the young man’s face fell into the old man’s eyes. The old man smiled, clenched his right hand into a fist, and coughed lightly.

“What, you’re not willing?”

“Child, you probably don’t know who I am.”

“I am the dean of the Central School. The girl you like from the Xie family, the boy you hate from the Wu family, when they see me, they all have to respectfully call me ‘Master’ — hey, what’s that expression of yours? Don’t I look like it?”

Guan Heng looked suspicious and slowly shook his head. “No.”

“… Alright, I really don’t look good right now.” The old man laughed dryly and rubbed his hands awkwardly. “Isn’t this because I’ve been in seclusion for too long and haven’t had time to take care of myself?”

“In short, if you take me as your teacher, you’ll be the little junior brother of the entire school!”

Guan Heng pursed his lips and looked at the old man with great disapproval. “Why would I want to be someone else’s little brother?”

“…” The old man choked on his words and said helplessly. “It’s a junior brother, not a little brother … That’s right, the girl from the Xie family, you like her, right?”

Hearing the words “Xie family,” Guan Heng’s eyelashes trembled and his eyes darkened.

The hand behind his back suddenly clenched. An invisible whirlpool quietly appeared in his palm, and undercurrents surged.

How could this person know who he liked?

When did he come? Did he know all of You You’s secrets?

“Don’t look at me like that.” The old man stroked his beard and smiled faintly. “I’m here to help you. The girl from the Xie family has a very high heart.”

“You want to be with her, but you don’t have an identity that matches her. Is that easier said than done?”

The morning breeze was slightly chilly, and the sound echoed in the quiet cave.

The old man’s white hair was gently blown by the wind. Light flickered in his murky grey eyes. His voice was low and deep, and his final words carried a seductive tone. Each word struck Guan Heng’s heart.

“You want to stand by her side openly? What right do you have?”

“Do you really think that you have such a dusty look on your face?”

The old man walked slowly around Guan Heng. His smile became colder and colder, but his tone became gentler and gentler. It was as if he was whispering his true feelings.

“You have to know, a good horse will never turn back.”

“Your only chance is now. You will be that girl’s junior brother. You can cultivate together, train together, eat together, live together, and treat each other with sincerity. You have to let her see a different you! ”

“You still want to become stronger — — I can help you become stronger, stronger than anyone else. No matter if it’s the boy from the Wu family or the girl from the Xie family, they can only look up to you from behind.”

“Child,” The old man laughed softly. “I’m the strongest person in the entire continent. No one is more suitable than me to be your master.”

“Be my disciple, and I’ll take you on a path … … to the heavens.”
