Time flies like an arrow; another year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

This is Bai Yao's twelfth year on the mountain, and today is also her twelfth birthday. Before this, Xiao Yuhan went down the mountain to Tianshan to find a piece of ice from Tianchi and personally forged a cold iron immortal sword. The sword is white all over, like pure white jade. When it is drawn, the cold light is sharp, like the clear spring of Tianshan.

Crafted by Xiao Yuhan himself, it can be considered a first-class celestial artifact.

With the arrival of the male protagonist Murong Zhi, Bai Yao's relationship with him inexplicably improved. Xiao Yuhan couldn't stop it, but the thought of his disciple, whom he had raised for so many years, being taken away by another man so quickly filled him with the bitterness of an old father marrying off his daughter.

After all, Bai Yao had been cooking and washing clothes for him every day for the past two years, taking meticulous care of this lazy master. As a result, Xiao Yuhan felt a strange emotion.

Early this morning, Xiao Yuhan, having prepared gifts, went to Bai Yao's residence in the back mountain. He knew that today was the crucial day in the original story when Murong Zhi and Bai Yao pledged their love.

The original text describes how Bai Yao, who had suffered from bullying by her sect members for many years, finally met someone who genuinely cared for her and developed a sense of dependence on him. Moreover, today, Murong Zhi was stabbed by a member of the Demonic Sect while protecting her, which made Bai Yao feel guilty and a little bit of affection arise in her heart.

Xiao Yuhan felt a strange, indescribable feeling in her heart.

When they arrived at Bai Yao's residence, Murong Zhi had just arrived as well. He brought a lot of delicious food, but it seems that in the original story he did not know that today was Bai Yao's birthday. He just happened to have come down the mountain today, so he thought of getting some good food for this poor little girl.

Xiao Yuhan hid in the distance and did not appear. In her mind, she carefully recalled the description of the relationship between the male protagonist Murong Zhi and Bai Yao in the original work. It said that this boy was infected by his senior sister's pure eyes when he first saw her and fell in love with her from then on.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuhan frowned and cursed inwardly, "You little rascal, you're so young and you already know how to seduce young girls, you're really no good!"

However, Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment that the key to Bai Yao and Murong Zhi's falling in love was that Murong Zhi took that sword for that kid. If he intervened in time, would it have any impact?

"System, will there be any consequences if I change the details of the romance plot?"

"In answering the host, in novel writing, as long as it is not a romance novel, the romance plot cannot be considered as the main plot. Although the Eternal Empress leans towards romance, the main plot is not romance. Therefore, the host's behavior of changing the romance plot will not be considered as rewriting the main plot."

Xiao Yuhan slapped his thigh, feeling a strange sense of joy in his heart.

"Host, today is Bai Yao's twelfth birthday. The Blood King's Cave storyline is about to begin. The prelude is today's assassination attempt by the Demonic Cult disciples. Please remember to follow the main storyline!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Xiao Yuhan watched from a distance. He knew that today's chapter was about the demonic sect expert who would infiltrate the Heavenly Sword Sect to gather intelligence, but he would be exposed when he came to Bai Yao. The following chapters would be the main part of the plot, but Xiao Yuhan did not want Bai Yao to get hurt today, so he decided to wait here first.

Inside the house, Murong Zhi and Bai Yao were happily eating. Xiao Yuhan, who was watching from a distance, suddenly felt a pang of emotion. He seemed to suddenly recall the time when he first read this novel.

I was incredibly excited when I saw the male and female leads gradually develop feelings for each other. In the original work, Murong Zhi was also a pure-hearted young man, kind and innocent, as dazzling as the sun.

The plot where he was killed by Xiao Yuhan in the end made him grit his teeth in hatred. Thinking of this, Xiao Yuhan pinched himself in annoyance, "Damn Xiao Yuhan, I still feel furious when I think about him, that scumbag master!"

In the original story, Bai Yao's life was full of misery. Her parents were killed when she was born, and when she finally met a true love, her master killed her. All she wanted was a stable home. This simple and kind girl was forced into becoming the empress who ruled the ages in the original story, which made Xiao Yuhan feel even more sorry for her.

Lost in thought, I drifted off into a daze.

Suddenly, Murong Zhi and Bai Yao sneaked out of the house and began to explore the forbidden area behind the mountain. Xiao Yuhan knew that they had sensed the aura of that demonic sect master.

Not daring to delay for even a moment, Xiao Yuhan followed, thinking to himself, "I don't know how you two little brats can be so bold? Didn't you report to your master first when you discovered something unusual? You really are like newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers!"

Sure enough, not long after, the demonic sect expert discovered the two children and immediately took action to silence them, thrusting his sword at Bai Yao.

The original novel does not describe this person's identity. Seeing that life and death were hanging by a thread, and that Murong Zhi was about to shield Bai Yao from the sword, Xiao Yuhan immediately took action, leaping into the fray and using his Gentleman's Sword to block the attack.

"How dare you cause trouble in my Heavenly Sword Sect! You have no respect for me at all!"

The masked man in black snorted coldly and laughed, "So you are the Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal, one of the Five Sword Immortals of Lingsu. My apologies for my rudeness. I'd like to test whether you are as powerful as the rumors say!"

The man attacked with his sword, and the sharp sword intent made Xiao Yuhan feel uneasy. The green lotus, which was half-grown in her nascent soul, took the initiative to protect its master. Only then did Xiao Yuhan realize that the person in front of her was definitely stronger than herself.

He immediately unleashed his full power, his right hand wielding the Gentleman's Sword like a rainbow to block the attack. Then, he followed up with lightning-based magic in his left hand, striking the opponent with a palm. Xiao Yuhan felt a terrifying spiritual force invade his body and explode within him.
