Chapter 318: Is it too late to collect the hero’s body?

Jian Yue never thought that one day he would actually encounter a situation where a colleague who was doing a task had to take a test to become the best actor!

As the little boy looked straight at him.

Jian Yue...

After thinking for a moment, Jian Yue said, "I am thinking."

Child:?

The little boy was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect to hear such a wonderful answer.

Jian Yue has a very cold and noble face. When he is silent, he looks like an immortal. He seems to be thinking about some major event in his life. This look is very misleading, as if he is considering and planning a way out for all the people in the world.

The little boy stood in awe!

The Immortal Lord is the Immortal Lord, and his enlightenment is different from theirs. Standing on the top of these mountains, he must be thinking about the future of the demon clan and the conference!

He thought to himself that he really shouldn’t have disturbed the Immortal Lord!

The little boy quickly said, "Then I won't bother you anymore!"

Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief!

His legs were shaking as he stood there. He kept thinking about how he could fool the enemy. After a long time of effort, he finally fooled the enemy!

After the little boy left, Jian Yue was thinking about how to get back. Fortunately, hard work pays off. While he was still posing there, his eldest disciple suddenly came back flying on a sword.

The eldest disciple said, "Master, I just went to coordinate the affairs of the conference, but the people from Xiangyun Peak actually refused to listen to my command. This is really abominable. Master, I am your disciple. They look down on me like this because they are not giving you face. You must make the decision for me!"

Jian Yue said seriously, "We'll discuss this matter when we get back. Don't act recklessly in front of the Sect Master."

The eldest disciple immediately made an expression that said, "Master, you are absolutely right." He said quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, I will call Master's crane right away!"

He whistled into the distance, and a crane flew over. Jian Yue quickly memorized the sound of the crane's call so that he could use it next time. He finally understood why the original owner was so good to his stupid eldest disciple. In order to cover up the fact that he no longer had any cultivation, it was very useful to have such a eldest disciple around!

The crane landed on the ground.

This crane was really huge, not an ordinary crane. Jian Yue jumped up and sat down on it with just his tiptoes. This should be the reflex body memory of the original owner. After he sat down, his eldest disciple followed behind him on a sword.

When he returned to his peak, he looked up and saw a huge plaque hanging on the stone gate appearing above the mountain palace.

Xiangle Peak

Jian Yue got off the crane, and the eldest disciple followed behind him and asked, "Master, when did the master summon you this time?"

"The headmaster asked me to be in charge of this disciple competition." Jian Yue said, "And this time, the elders of each peak must recruit some disciples."

The eldest disciple's expression changed and he said, "Will Master accept it too?"

Jian Yue said: "Of course."

The eldest disciple said unhappily, "Master, having me is enough. Just leave all your rare treasures to me. After I succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely make Master's reputation known far and wide!"

Jian Yue: "...I can actually keep it for myself, and then become famous."

The eldest disciple realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "That's not what I meant."

Jian Yue sighed and said, "This is what the headmaster asked. Since I am the master of a peak, I should teach the way to the people of the world. I must accept a disciple at this conference."

The system panel popped up.

Jian Yue took a look. The original owner of the novel had exhausted his cultivation and was afraid that he would be discovered if he accepted a new disciple, so he accepted the poor male protagonist. The male protagonist's spiritual roots were incomplete, and he could not practice the exercises. The original owner accepted him just to avoid being discovered. Of course, he didn't care about the male protagonist's life or death. The other fellow disciples thought that the master didn't like the male protagonist because he didn't teach him, and they bullied him.

If the protagonist hadn't been secretly helping him, the male protagonist might have been bullied to death by others.

"Alas..." Jian Yue sighed again after seeing this plot.

I thought with some worry, no wonder the male protagonist had to be tortured for a million words after he became the Demon Lord, who wouldn’t hate him? The original person was really asking for death!

After listening to the teachings, the eldest disciple quickly realized that his awareness was not high enough, and humbly said: "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I understand. When Master takes the disciples back, I will definitely treat them well!"

Jian Yue said: "You'd better."

The eldest disciple looked up at Jian Yue with some confusion. He always felt that why his master seemed a little sad these past two days?

Jian Yue walked forward and said to his eldest disciple, "Okay, you go back first. I have to go plan the disciples' meeting and fight against the demons. Don't let anyone disturb me."

The eldest disciple was frightened and was stunned. He quickly bent down and said, "It's Master!"

Jian Yue returned to his bedroom and closed the door with a sage-like look on his face. Those who didn't know him would think that he was going to discuss the future plans of the immortal race, but -

"Huh..." Jian Yue patted his chest and said, "Finally, I'm leaving! Oh my god, I'm so tired from pretending. I'm so thirsty. Where can I get some water?"

Immortals generally don’t need to eat or drink, but the original owner is different. He has no cultivation at all, so it is impossible for him to go without food and water!

The audience in the live broadcast room saw Jian Yue gulping down a glass of water, then taking off his coat in the hall. After searching for a long time, he finally found the toilet outside. He struggled for a long time, and even took a bath in the hot spring out back before he finally calmed down.

Audience: “…”

This guy hasn't completed any missions but his life is so tiring!

Jian Yue let out a long sigh and lay back on the chair, he looked outside and saw that it was already dark. According to the original plot, the hero would be sent out of prison tonight. He was seriously injured and would be thrown down the mountain, and then be rescued by the protagonist who came to take the exam!

Xiaoyu...

The more Jian thought about the figures in the prison, the more uneasy he felt. He sat in the house for a while and felt a little stuffy, so he walked out to the courtyard to pace, but the more he paced, the more irritated he became.

It will be alright...

Forget it. The story of the two protagonists is destined. What he should worry about now is himself. The conference is about to take place. It is one thing for him to hide his lack of cultivation. What if the demons really come?

Right at this moment.

A disciple came over and said, "Immortal Venerable, I have been ordered to deliver the list of disciples for tomorrow's competition. Please take a look."

Jian Yue finally found something to divert his attention. He said, "Bring it here."

The disciple brought the things over.

Jian Yue opened the roster. He remembered that the main task this time was to find out the reason why his disciple Jiang Chengfeng died mysteriously during the competition, and to find out the truth behind the deaths of multiple disciples. While thinking, Jian Yue opened the task panel to see if there were any specific clues. As a result, he found that outside that line of words, there was another line of small words: "When more than half of the participating disciples are killed or injured, the taskers will also consider the task a failure."

“…”

Damn! This is also their fault!

Jian Yue cursed in his heart, then opened the roster. There were actually five to six thousand disciples participating in the competition, and their family numbers and names were written below.

He searched quickly and finally found Jiang Chengqi's name.

Jiang Chengqi is a child from the Jiang clan. He and his younger brother came to the Lingyun clan to learn skills. He has wood spiritual roots and is very talented. Although he has good spiritual power, his family is small and therefore he comes from a humble background.

Jian Yue flipped through the original plot.

Sadly, I found that there was no description of Jiang Chengqi in the first few dozen chapters of the original work. He was only mentioned briefly in the later competition. In an assessment task, Jiang Chengqi was trapped in an illusion and actually attacked his fellow disciples. In the end, he was subdued and died. Yes, the one who subdued him was the original master. He was the person in charge of the competition, so he took action.

Jian Yue: “…”

What's the point? He is the murderer himself!

But the system panel still stands there firmly, which means that perhaps there is something more complicated behind this matter.

Thought for a moment.

Jian Yue checked the plot carefully again, and then found that the whole book did not describe anything about Jiang Chengqi's younger brother, but the original book wrote that he and his brother entered Lingyun Sect to learn martial arts together!

There is still something fishy going on.

Jian Yue's full attention was drawn to it. As a professional forensic doctor, when he was working, any tiny detail could become the key point in speaking for the deceased.

"System." Jian Yue said, "Can you give me more of the original storyline? I want to read it."

The system said: "Good tasker, your hard work will be rewarded in the end."

Then more plots appeared, and Jian Yue began to read them with great interest. Finally, after reading for two hours -

finally!

He found nothing!

Jian Yue was furious: "Didn't they say that hard work will eventually pay off?"

System: "Because this is the plot I gave you, and you didn't work hard."

Jian Yue was not convinced: "Then let me ask you, what does it count as two hours of work?"

The system said expressionlessly: "You are welcome to translate it."

Jian Yue: “…”

The audience in the live broadcast room laughed like crazy:

"Ahahahahaha system, what do you think Butler Wang is?"

"XS, I was wondering why the system is so easy to talk to."

"It must be because the clues are not in the original book at all!"

"How can we investigate this without giving any clues?"

Jian Yue picked up the list again. He thought about it and wanted to check Xiaoyu's name. He knew that the male lead, the protagonist, had signed up for this disciple competition. He wanted to see Xiaoyu's past.

However--

Jian Yue flipped through the list from beginning to end but didn't see the name.

What's going on?

Why is Xiaoyu's name not on the list? If he is not on the list, how did he get the name badge for the disciple assessment?

That’s right!

See where the protagonist is hurt.

Jian Yue knew that the protagonist in the original novel was called Feng Yang, so he quickly flipped through the book and soon found the answer. Feng Yang was a very talented child, and the Feng family was also a famous family of cultivators. In the original novel, Feng Yang, who came to Lingyun Sect for the first time, was interested in the cultivators, so he secretly went up the mountain to peek and met the dying male protagonist and saved him.

Countless thoughts flashed through Jian Yue's mind, and he suddenly remembered that tonight was the eve of the disciples' competition, and the disciples should all be at the foot of the mountain. If there was no news during the competition, he could go down the mountain tonight to find out about the Jiang Chengqi brothers!

Then……

Of course, he took the opportunity to check on the injured and unconscious male protagonist to see if Xiaoyu had been rescued and if she was okay now. It was just a side job and he was not using his power for personal gain!

After calming down his thoughts, Jian Yue stood up and walked outside. He put on his clothes before leaving. When he walked to the mirror, he originally wanted to tidy up his appearance, but he was unexpectedly shocked by the figure in the mirror.

Because the original owner...

The original owner was really beautiful!

A pair of eyes are as beautiful as stars and the moon, as deep as a pool of water. When the wind blows through the hem of her clothes, she looks even more gentle like a green lotus sliding through the moonlight. This face is very bewitching when it makes any cold expression.

I wish I had such beautiful eyes, so I wouldn’t have to wear glasses every day and still be blind.

Jian Yue sighed in his heart and walked outside. He memorized the crane's mantra and summoned it to go down the mountain. It was already very dark at this moment and he could see the lights very clearly below when he came down the mountain.

When passing halfway up the mountain.

Jian Yue let the crane land and began to look for the male protagonist. Logically, he should be in this forest. He stood on the path and looked around. The wind brought a slight smell of blood. After a while, he found the source of the bloody smell. A man in a cloth shirt was lying beside the grass not far away. Half of his body was soaked in bright red blood!

It’s here!

Jian Yue subconsciously ran over in small steps, his heart was pounding, and even his hands were shaking. His heart tightened when he saw the pale face of the sleeping man.

Why hasn't the protagonist come yet? !

At this moment, the system panel popped up:

"【Limited Time Mission】: Cannon Fodder's Atonement

[Task Details]: Please help the protagonist and the bottom complete their first encounter, and help the protagonist and the bottom successfully save the male protagonist.

[Mission Reward]: Clues to the Demon Clan"

Wow!

It's him again!

I'm just a cannon fodder every day and have nothing to do but do the job of a matchmaker!

The rewards are ok though.

Jian Yue fell into deep thought. He felt a little distressed when he thought about personally bringing together his former lover with other people. Sometimes he would wonder, if it was really according to the original plot, why would Xiaoyu sign a contract with him? What happened in this copy in the past?

But he did kill Xiaoyu in the end.

So he must complete the plot of the original work, this is what he must do.

"Where is the protagonist?" Jian Yue frowned and muttered to himself, "Why hasn't he come yet?"

The system does not answer.

Jian Yue looked at the thin and pale person in his arms. It was obvious that he would not be able to hold on for much longer at this rate of bleeding. He had no way to do anything, so he could only quickly lead the protagonist over. He wanted to go down the mountain to find the protagonist and see where he had gone and why he hadn't come up the mountain yet!

Just do it.

Jian Yue quickly summoned the crane to come down the mountain. He put on a bamboo hat so as not to reveal his identity. The original owner still had some residual memory of the terrain, so finding the post station was not a difficult task.

When they arrived at the post station, there were disciples coming and going who were going to take the test tomorrow. The waiter at the door was very busy. When he saw Jian Yue coming and saw his immortal appearance, he immediately asked eagerly, "Sir, you are here to participate in the competition as well. Do you need to stay at the hotel?"

Jian Yue replied, "Yes, but I want to meet my friend first. His name is Xue Yang. Is he staying at the hotel?"

I specifically looked for this high-end store because someone with Xue Yang's family background would definitely live here. I just don't know if the waiter will tell me.

What I didn’t expect was!

The waiter's eyes lit up and he said, "Are you Mr. Xue's friend? He sent me a letter yesterday, saying that if any friends come, he wants me to exchange a secret code with you!"

Jian Yue was stunned and thought it was over. How could he know Xue Yang? How could he know the secret code? Isn't this the end? He can't get any information!

The audience in the live broadcast room were also a little worried.

Who knows——

The waiter came closer and lowered his voice and said, "Daqian Yuye wine."

Jian Yue choked up, a bad feeling coming over him, but he still tried to ask, "Three hundred and eighty per cup?"

The waiter nodded, handed the letter to him and said, "Here."

Jian Yue took it quickly and opened the letter. He saw the familiar handwriting on the letter paper. It was extremely ugly, but he could still understand it with his years of experience. When he unfolded it, he saw Xiao Li's handwriting: "Butler Wang! It's urgent. We were all brought to this copy by Xiao Yuan's card. I was randomly assigned the identity of the protagonist, and the system gave me a task to save the male protagonist the next day. But I don't know how to use the protagonist's skills. I fell from his flying sword and broke my leg. I definitely can't get through. I guess you will also be randomly assigned to be a disciple. You should be staying in the restaurant today. When you see the letter, come to Zhui Yunfeng to save me. There should still be time!!!"

The letter was dated last night.

Jian Yue: “…”

He glanced at the time outside.

What is too late? Is it too late to collect the male protagonist's body? If it's too late, the blood will have dried up! ! !
