397: Chen Xuan guesses the plot (Tucao)

“Oh, is that so? This Physique… it’s just so-so!” Chen Xuan felt somewhat disheartened after hearing the explanation.

Then, he saw Ye Xingchen’s Luck value.

“No, buddy!”

“Why does this person only have a Luck value of 70,000? He’s not even as good as anyone around Tang Sirui! What are you doing? How can such a trashy Child of Luck already be at the Undergoing Tribulation stage of Cultivation?”

“Ding, please be patient, Host. This person… is quite special.”

“Quite special? Is that all? Then your System, it’s not very useful! Huh?! It can’t even explain the cause and effect!”

System: “…”

“What, nothing to say?”

“Ding, due to some unexpected circumstances, the Host arrived too early.”

“The unexpected circumstance you’re talking about is Yu Gang being captured, right? If he hadn’t been captured, then I certainly wouldn’t have come! You said he’s quite special, plus his Fallen Devil Body, so if I think about it… theoretically, when I arrived, he should have been about to fall into the Demonic Path, right?”

System: “…”

“I knew it! That Ye Xingchen, he looks gentle and refined, spitting… oh no, he speaks eloquently! He’s a thoroughly good person. He would be wronged by the Feixian Sect because of some things, then everyone would turn their backs on him, and he would end up as a cripple. After that, he would fall into the Demonic Path, rise rapidly, and take revenge on everyone who wronged him, one by one!”

System: “…”

“How about it, System? Are you sweating yet? Oh right, you’re not human, you can’t sweat!”

“Host, how did you… guess this kind of plot?”

“Please! I haven’t eaten pork, but I’ve seen pigs run, haven’t I? Huh? When I Transmigrated, all the novels on Tomato Novel were like this, okay? This is the general trend!”

System: “…”

This was its most speechless moment today, bar none.

“Let me tell you, System, I know what handsome readers love to read in these kinds of novels!”

“What do they love to read most?”

“Of course, it’s regret! First, they misunderstand the male lead, making readers’ livers ache, and then they discover that after leaving the male lead, their lives don’t go smoothly. Finally, some women try to win him back with a high posture, but they just rub him the wrong way, and the male lead dislikes them even more. In the end, she cries her heart out but still can’t win the male lead back.”

“Unfortunately, I don’t like reading that. If I could Transmigrate into such a plot, I wouldn’t let a single one of them go! Except for those who are unbelievably stupid; I’d Cultivate them into stars of…”

“Stars of what?”

“Fury.”

System: “…”

“Actually, those women aren’t stupid; it’s just the Heavenly Dao forcibly interfering, reducing their intelligence to make them stupid women. After all, truly stupid women and those who are slow to react are genuinely rare. Even if you randomly pull out a young woman, after long-term contact, you’d clearly understand the protagonist’s intentions.”

“Are you saying… that Hua Mengjie will also be reduced in intelligence to become that kind of stupid woman?”

“Uh, Host, isn’t it a bit too fast to suddenly return to the main topic?”

“This isn’t right, is it? Hua Mengjie is at least at the Great Ascension Stage of Cultivation. Even if the Heavenly Dao interferes, she should be able to resist, right? Could it be that the Heavenly Dao you’re talking about… is the author?!”

Chen Xuan, in a fit of anger, looked up at the sky, trying to find the author beyond the Cultivation World, intending to turn him into a eunuch.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t observe anything.

“Alright, Host, there’s no author. Hua Mengjie herself is a character secretly cultivated by the Heavenly Dao, so it’s quite simple to just reduce her intelligence.”

“And…”

“And what?”

“And, the System is a real existence; it wasn’t created by any author.”

(Press 1 to send to Hell… ahem, press 1 to receive the System)

“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I need to find out where Yu Gang is and kill him quickly to get it over with.” Chen Xuan waved his hand and went to Lin Rou’s Immortal Cave.

“You’re back?” Lin Rou wasn’t doing anything at the moment; she was just lounging on the soft couch, waiting for Chen Xuan.

After all, with her Cultivation, she could only follow Chen Xuan; she couldn’t Cultivate on her own, so she could only wait for him to return.

“Mm, I didn’t expect this infiltration to end before it even began.”

“How so?”

“…You wouldn’t understand even if I told you!” Chen Xuan smiled and walked closer.

“You’re annoying!” Lin Rou reached out her small hand to pinch Chen Xuan, but he caught it.

“It’s getting late…”

“H-hold on, let’s get this straight, I’m not planning on becoming a mother again, so don’t try that trick on me!”

“Got it, got it!”

…

Early the next morning, Hua Mengjie arrived with a middle-aged man to visit. Chen Xuan knew exactly what they were here for without even thinking.

“What’s wrong, Sect Master Hua… Mmph!” Chen Xuan had just started to say “Sect Master” when Hua Mengjie, her pretty face flushed, covered his mouth.

“Elder Chen, why are you being so polite? Just call me Lord Hua!” Hua Mengjie looked at the man beside her, her face red.

Chen Xuan nodded, but Hua Mengjie’s attention was still on the man, and she didn’t notice.

So, Chen Xuan reached out his ( ), and Hua Mengjie, as if electrocuted, instantly distanced herself from Chen Xuan.

“Elder Chen, you…!”

“I said, Lord Hua, I was already nodding just now, but you just didn’t see it, so I…”

“Alright, alright, let me introduce you. This is the Sect Head of the Xuanqing Sect, Li Qingfeng!”

“Qingfeng, this is Chen Xuan of our Feixian Sect, whom I mentioned to you before.”

Chen Xuan carefully sized up the middle-aged man before him. He had a handsome face, a tall and upright Physique, and exuded a steady demeanor, clearly a person of high status.

However, the gloom in his eyes indicated that he was definitely a person with extremely deep thoughts.

“Not good! The plot has changed. This is actually a white moonlight type for Revered Master; I thought there would only be a green tea male! It seems this plot is slightly more complicated!”

“As for whether Hua Mengjie has been reduced in intelligence…” Chen Xuan carefully observed Hua Mengjie at the moment. Aside from her persistent blush, there was nothing abnormal.

However, when he had just retaliated against Hua Mengjie’s attempt to cover his mouth, she didn’t seem to show any anger, and she was even trying her best to hide the matter of the Joyous Union Sect. That meant… she already had a handle on him!

As long as he threatened to expose her, this Hua Mengjie would… Hehehe!

“Elder Chen, it’s a pleasure to meet you!” Li Qingfeng smiled and cupped his hands towards Chen Xuan.

“Oh, Sect Head Li, you’re too kind. I’ve long admired your reputation!” Chen Xuan responded politely.

“I wonder if Elder Chen is free? Shall we sit down and have a good chat?” Li Qingfeng invited.

“Of course, Sect Head Li, please!” Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.

After the three sat down, Hua Mengjie even specially brought out excellent tea leaves, brewed them with spiritual fire and spiritual water, and then served the tea. Chen Xuan and Li Qingfeng sipped tea and chatted.
