Xiao Yang tried his best to follow the woman, but his body protested, and he collapsed to the ground, kicking up some dust.

As he watched the woman's retreating figure, his mouth moved, and his fingers trembled as if he wanted to grab something, but in the end, he gave up helplessly.

He thought to himself, "I'm no different from the dust on the ground!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang instantly recalled the time when he first arrived at the Flying Immortal Sect.

At that time, his master had just taken him in and said he wanted to let him meet his beautiful daughter, who was also his only senior sister.

The moment he saw her, he envied her. She was like the radiant sun, always so bright and cheerful, blooming freely.

Her smile was the warmest thing he had ever seen, even warmer than the meat buns that Aunt Wang gave him.

It was at that moment that he felt inferior standing in front of her.

She was born to be the sun in the sky, and it was only because he became her junior brother that she lowered her head to look at him.

She just loathed him; she hated that he had stolen her master's and mistress's attention.

So when she ordered him around and bullied him, he actually felt very happy.

He was no longer an orphan; he had a senior sister, a master, and a master's wife.

In this world, he finally found his place.

He knew that no matter where he went in the future, there would be a place he could return to.

Senior sister, could you please not be so cold to him?

Every time he watched his senior sister walk further and further away, while he could only watch silently, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, it hurt so much.

Before losing consciousness, Xiao Yang was thinking: If only I could hold my senior sister in my hands, then I wouldn't have to keep looking up at her back, but could... what do I want to do with her?

Xiao Yang didn't understand what he wanted, but he felt very unwilling.

"Host, the male lead has fainted." Yuanbao reminded the carefree woman, worried that she would just ignore Xiao Yang and leave him there. That would be a waste of time; saving him would be pointless.

"Tsk! Other male leads are all cool and awesome, but why is your male lead always on the road to being rescued?" Xu Nian said with disdain as she used her sword control technique to bring Xiao Yang along.

While flying is not allowed in the Immortal Demon City, using the Sword Control Technique to drag things around is still possible.

"This is originally a sweet redemption story. The male lead is a handsome, strong, and tragic character, so he has to be saved by the female lead to feel her kindness and care," Yuanbao explained.

"So where is your female lead? Where did she go?" Xu Nian's question almost made Yuan Bao choke.

"Well, according to the system's investigation, the female lead has already been killed by the male lead." Yuanbao couldn't continue speaking after saying this.

"Xiao Yang killed the female lead? What did the female lead do?" Xu Nian was very curious.

"The original plot was that the male lead was injured and dying, and the female lead came out to save him. But now, the male lead is too wary after being injured, and he kills the female lead as soon as he sees her." Yuanbao was also helpless, wondering how things had developed like this.

"Yuanbao, don't you think there's something wrong with the plot this time?" As soon as Xu Nian finished her guess, Yuanbao shook his head and said it was impossible.

"The main system has been monitoring this world. If there are any abnormalities in the plot, the main system can detect them immediately, so there is absolutely no way the plot could have any problems," Yuanbao said firmly.

"Alright! Since you're so confident, then pretend I didn't say anything." Xu Nian just said it casually, without taking it to heart.

After chatting with Yuanbao for a while, they returned to their residence. Xu Nian put Xiao Yang on the couch and first released the seal that suppressed his spiritual power.

Xiao Yang only suffered physical injuries this time, and he could recover on his own as long as he had spiritual power, so Xu Nian didn't want to put in too much effort.

Yuanbao couldn't bear to watch any longer and gave Xiao Yang a nourishing pill that he had scavenged from the Grand Elder.

Perhaps because he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time, Xiao Yang slept for a full day and night before waking up.

"Senior Sister." Upon seeing that familiar figure, Xiao Yang instinctively called out.

"I'm awake." Xu Nian was still disguised, but she didn't deny her identity.

"Senior sister, you saved me again." Xiao Yang felt conflicted.

"How did you end up in such a sorry state?" Xu Nian really didn't understand. Other male protagonists all had various cheat codes and golden fingers, so how come this male protagonist was so weak that anyone could step on him!

"I wasn't on guard, and a little kid put a drug in my food." Xiao Yang said, lowering his head and burying his face in the shadows.

"You haven't eaten grains for a long time, how could you give a child the opportunity to poison you?" Xu Nian didn't understand.

"He shared his food with me, and I..." Xiao Yang trailed off, perhaps out of frustration or a sense of foolishness, unable to continue.

Xu Nian understood. He was a human being with a conscience, and a normal person wouldn't be wary of a child.

Especially when encountering well-behaved and sensible children, it can evoke feelings of sympathy.

If it were her, the outcome probably wouldn't be much better.

"You should rest well and leave after you recover from your injuries." Xu Nian didn't think too much about Xiao Yang; she had only asked to satisfy her curiosity.

She rented this house for a month, just enough for Xiao Yang to recuperate.

As for herself, she had to flee for her life.

Yuanbao just informed her that people from the Flying Immortal Sect were coming from nearby, and the leader was an elder.

Seeing that Xu Nian was about to leave, Xiao Yang immediately asked anxiously, "Senior Sister, can I go with you?"

"No," Xu Nian refused coldly.

Just kidding, the male lead is a troublemaker by nature.
