Chapter 1
Chapter 1: It’s a Wrap:
“Gu Feng, you are unworthy to be a disciple of our sect. Today, I will eliminate you on behalf of our sect.”
Ye Fan raised his sword and stabbed toward Gu Feng.
However, the young man in black robs stood on the edge of the cliff. He looked deeply at the beautiful woman behind Ye Fan with eyes filled with emotion.
“Ling Xue, do you want me dead too?”
The woman’s lips moved slightly, and she finally sighed, “Gu Feng, you have fallen into darkness…”
“Hahaha, fine! If you want me dead, I won’t resist anymore.” Gu Feng took one last look at her, then jumped into the endless abyss without looking back.
Before Ye Fan’s sword could reach him, Gu Feng had already vanished.
“Once in the abyss sea, even immortals cannot save you.”
With a splash, Gu Feng fell into the abyss sea, and his flesh began to corrode instantly.
“Wahoo, it’s a wrap, it’s a wrap!”
“System, I’ve completed the plotline. Can you fulfill your promise and send me back home now?”
In an alternate dimension, Gu Feng knocked on a large spherical object, waiting for the system’s response.
[Warning! Warning! The consciousness of the heavenly way has detected us. Host, leave this space immediately!]
The sudden alarm startled Gu Feng.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a jade bed.
Where was this?
The Gu family!
The first day he transmigrated into the novel, it seemed like this was the same scene.
“System, what’s going on?” Gu Feng’s expression turned cold.
Did the system deceive him? Following the plotline won’t allow him to return?
Then what was the point of enduring those stupid plots for a thousand years?
Sensing Gu Feng’s anger, the system quickly replied.
[Host, I did intend to send you back, but the will of this world’s heavenly way is too strong. It detected me instantly, so I had no choice but to bring you back here]
Gu Feng said impatiently, “The question now is, how do I return? If I can’t go back, I won’t follow the plotline anymore.”
[Don’t worry, Host. The system has devised the optimal solution. The heavenly way is emotionless and only favors the child of destiny. If you become the child of destiny, it will not target you]
Gu Feng snorted coldly, “So you want me to pretend for you?”
The one being targeted was the system, not him. But to return to the real world, he had no choice.
After all, he had already spent a thousand years in this wretched novel; a little more time wouldn’t hurt.
“Young Master, the elders from the Lingyun Sect have arrived. The master wants you to go over.”
The maid’s voice interrupted Gu Feng’s conversation with the system.
“Okay.” He responded.
If he remembered correctly, today was the day Lingyun Sect recruited disciples. These major sects would first recruit outer disciples from the outside world and then select a few to enter the sect.
In the original plotline, Ye Fan directly followed the heroine Ling Xue’s master because he saved Ling Xue.
After a moment of thought, Gu Feng reached the main hall.
At this moment, the patriarch of the Gu family was chatting with a group of sect elders.
Ling Xue stood behind her master, looking at Gu Feng.
Gu Feng coldly met her gaze.
He had been her licking dog for a thousand years and had never wronged this woman. Yet, she also wanted him dead in the end.
Now, without the need to follow the plot, Gu Feng wouldn’t indulge these so-called protagonists.
So, he shifted his gaze away from her.
Ling Xue’s heart trembled.
Something was wrong.
In her previous life, Gu Feng fell in love with her at first sight and was so passionate. Why this time, did he treat her like a stranger?
She stared anxiously at Gu Feng.
This made Gu Feng feel uncomfortable.
“Young lady, why are you staring at me? Do I have dirt on my face?” His cold voice drew everyone’s attention.
“What nonsense! Ling Xue wouldn’t be staring at you.” Ye Fan retorted.
He was now wearing the attire of a Lingyun Sect disciple.
Gu Feng’s tone turned indifferent, “So, it’s you. It seems the Lingyun Sect has already selected its disciples?”
He casually glanced at the elders, “If that’s the case, why are you still here?”
Everyone was taken aback by his words.
“Feng’er, don’t talk nonsense. How can you speak to the elders like that? Apologize immediately.” Gu Yansheng’s face darkened.
He feared his troublesome son would offend the elders, and they would withdraw their offer.
“I remember Lingyun Sect only accepts one disciple per family.” Gu Feng ignored his father’s words and continued, “Even though Ye Fan is a servant of the Gu family and doesn’t bear the surname Gu, he still counts as a person. If the Lingyun Sect has taken him, looking for another disciple would break the rules.”
The elders exchanged glances.
Ye Fan’s face turned dark with anger.
What did he mean by ‘counts as a person’?
“Young Master Gu, since Ye Fan has joined Lingyun Sect, he is no longer your family’s servant. Therefore, your family still has one quota left.”
Ling Xue looked at Gu Feng.
He had changed.
Could he also be someone reborn?
Noticing Ling Xue’s inquisitive gaze, Gu Feng coldly said, “Oh, so what? Do you want me to say that Lingyun Sect is too mediocre for me? Will that satisfy you?”
