Chapter 1 This is a fake male protagonist novel

The major sects produce outstanding individuals, but these promising young men are all frowning at the dresses in their hands.

"Senior Brother Xiao, are we really going to wear skirts?"

The young man in the crowd had a face like glass, and a refined and elegant demeanor, making him stand out even among the group of otherwise good-looking young men.

"That fox demon used dual cultivation to absorb people's life essence and harmed many women. How could it lure the snake out of its hole without disguising itself as a woman?"

As the senior disciple and team leader, the young man clearly held considerable authority. Although everyone was somewhat unwilling, no one directly objected; instead, some spoke in a more tactful manner:

"Senior Brother Xiao, it's one thing for others, but with Liu Yidao's figure, no one would mistake him for a woman even if he wore a skirt."

Junior Brother Liu Yidao usually practices swordsmanship diligently, and his body is full of muscles. The disciple's uniform, which was originally close-fitting, is stretched so much that it creates a deep slit in his chest.

Among the pale-faced crowd, he was the only one enthusiastically choosing a rather alluring and revealing floral dress. Hearing this, he was a little unhappy, "Won't I look even more curvy and out of shape in this dress? What's wrong with that?"

Xiao Mingxin also had a headache with him. She brought Liu Yidao along only because of his strong martial arts skills. She never intended for him to dress up as a woman, but he just wouldn't have it.

But no matter what unusual quirks he may have, the established plans cannot be ruined because of him.

He casually pointed to a junior brother and said, "You two will pretend to be siblings. You don't need to wear the skirt; give it to him."

Xu Cangyu, who had managed to slip through the cracks while hiding in the corner, looked like a mouse caught red-handed. His smirking front teeth were still tucked in, and he stared blankly with a shocked expression.

Fortunately, he had already thought of a reason to decline.

“Senior Brother Xiao, it’s bound to arouse suspicion that Senior Brother Liu is a man with four women by his side. They can’t all be sisters, and they don’t look like they came from the same mother.”

Xiao Mingxin remained unmoved and shoved the skirt into his hands, saying, "So you wear the skirt, and Liu Yidao and I will stay the same."

Why should I?!

Xiao Mingxin herself is quite attractive, so why doesn't she pretend to be a woman instead of finding an opportunity to embarrass him?

Otherwise, everyone else is wearing normal clothes, but he's showing his arms and legs.

It looks like a few pieces of cloth pieced together to cover just a few key points.

Xu Zangyu clutched the thin crop top in his hand, his fingers trembling. What grown man would wear something like this?

That's insane!

He always pretended to be well-behaved, and even when he was so angry that his face was contorted, he could still maintain his gentle smile without changing.

It's all the result of years of trying to please these privileged individuals and enduring hardship.

Xu Zangyu transmigrated into the book.

It all started when someone recommended a novel about a male protagonist's rise to power.

The protagonist, who came from a remote mountain village, was discovered to have a talent for cultivation, and the entire village sold eggs to raise money to support his path to immortality.

However, the disciples of the major sects looked down on him as a poor and uneducated person and made things difficult for him in various ways.

The protagonist endured humiliation for many years, just when everyone thought he would eventually take revenge on all those who had bullied him.

Something's wrong with the main character.

He pinned his senior brother, who had bullied him, down on the bed and groped him in various ways.

This... is this a plot that a human could write?!

With so many beautiful girls in the sect, why choose a vicious male supporting character to target?

The protagonist was resented and was not only beaten half to death, but also framed and expelled from his sect.

Xu Zangyu then realized that this wasn't the main character, but just cannon fodder.

The protagonist is Xiao Mingxin, whom he thought was a villainous supporting character. He is not only exceptionally talented but also has a beautiful face, and countless men and women are attracted to him.

Including the cannon fodder who appeared earlier.

He was so disgusted by this plot point that he didn't finish watching the finale.

He was so angry that the protagonist, who was supposed to be a protagonist who made a comeback, suddenly turned into a gay man. He was so angry that he was on the verge of a breakdown. When he opened his eyes, he found that the world was different.

He actually became the cannon fodder male lead who was hopelessly in love with the male protagonist.

Xu Zangyu was in despair.

In order to avoid being squeezed out of the sect by these chosen ones, he smiled and fawned over everyone.

All for the sake of achieving success and fame one day, and reaping the rewards of their hard work.

His future must not be ruined by a man.

Because he pretended to be so well-behaved, he has lived a relatively peaceful life over the years.

But when he put on this revealing dress, his years of patience almost crumbled.

Why hasn't Third Junior Brother come out yet?

Urged by the others, Xu Zangyu finally emerged from behind the screen, albeit reluctantly.

The atmosphere seemed a bit off; he felt everyone's eyes were on him, and his already lowered head sank even lower.

He was only wrapped in a piece of cloth around his chest, and the gold armlets on his arms were tightly bound. His skirt was even more revealing. Although he had taken small steps, a section of his white legs was still exposed.

Liu Yidao was dumbfounded. "My taste is indeed good. I didn't expect this dress to suit my junior brother so well."

A blush rose on Xu Zangyu's fair face, not from embarrassment, but from anger. He wanted to take off his clothes and put them on Xiao Mingxin.

Perhaps because of the hardships Xu Zangyu endured in his childhood, he was thin and frail, and even with his later training, he was unable to grow into the imposing physique of Senior Brother Liu.

Xu Zangyu glanced enviously at Senior Brother Liu's two impressive abs. His view was then blocked by that damned Xiao Mingxin.

He was prepared to be ridiculed by Xiao Mingxin, but to his surprise, Xiao Mingxin's brows furrowed even more deeply than his, and she asked Liu Yidao, who was preparing the clothes:

Where did you get these clothes?

Liu Yidao scratched his head sheepishly, "It's a dress I bought to give to my girlfriend. I wanted to try it on to see if it looked good."

Xu Zangyu glanced at her two other junior brothers, both of whom had chosen neutral-colored dresses and looked like heroic female warriors, which made her feel even more resentful.

But time waits for no one, so this is the only option for now, and the plan remains unchanged.

Xu Zangyu didn't know if Xiao Mingxin was laughing at him behind his back, so he simply let loose and walked with his legs apart. Some of his junior brothers couldn't stand it and laughed at him.

"Third senior brother, you don't look like you're going to a wedding, but rather like you're going to kill someone with a knife."

That's right. If murder weren't illegal, he would have stabbed the dog in front of him first.

Just as he was sharpening his knife, the person in front of him suddenly turned around. Xu Zangyu's ferocious smile was still etched on his face, and he forced a stiff smile.

Fortunately, Xiao Mingxin only glanced at him and didn't say much, but explained the key points of the mission to everyone.

The group had been tracking the fox demon for a long time before finally discovering its trail recently.

I don't know how he suddenly became the young master of the Li family, and today he's getting married. I wonder which girl will suffer next.

As a disciple of the Tianyi Sect, Xu Zangyu naturally had to act on behalf of Heaven, although he wasn't really keen on it right now.

Xu Zangyu had initially been looking forward to this hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress storyline, but now he just wants to keep a low profile.

It's best if no one recognizes that he is a disciple of the Tianyi Sect.

On the way, Xu Cangyu couldn't help but ask Xiao Mingxin, "Senior Brother, did you make me dress up like this to attract the fox demon's attention so we could take action when he's not looking?"

“Just stay put and don’t cause trouble,” he added. “Last time we tested our swordsmanship, I noticed that your swordsmanship wasn’t very proficient.”

Xu Cangyu felt a surge of anger at this thought. What sword test? It was just that Xiao Mingxin was jealous because he was always clinging to Senior Sister Chu.

Of course, he was jealous of Chu Shu.

As the only daughter of the sect leader, Chu Shu was beautiful and had many admirers, including Xiao Mingxin.

I heard that they are getting married soon and will soon become a couple.

Therefore, Xiao Mingxin used the sword-testing incident to teach him a lesson, and he got a beating.

The reason Xu Zangyu can still pretend to be indifferent is because he has been waiting for this opportunity.

It's normal for disciples to encounter some accidents when they go out to exorcise demons.

"My swordsmanship is certainly no match for my senior brother's, so I'll have to rely on him to protect me."

He couldn't be happier that Xiao Mingxin was the one to rush ahead, and that he would be targeted by the fox demon and beaten half to death.

"Stop running around to Chu Shu. Focus on studying swordsmanship, and you won't be unable to withstand even ten moves from me."

Xu Zangyu felt very uncomfortable after hearing what he said, and swallowed back the words of explanation.

He wasn't trying to get close to Chu Shu; it's just that the young lady likes to boss people around. If it weren't for wanting to get along with the sect leader's daughter, would he be so shameless as to act like a dog for someone else all this time?

Xu Cangyu suppressed her anger and pitifully pretended to be a master of manipulative tactics, saying, "If I don't go, my senior sister will definitely blame me."

Xiao Mingxin's face darkened as expected. Xu Cangyu seemed to see a green meadow on his head and even wanted to tie the green ribbon around his head.

"As you wish. Master will emerge from seclusion in six months and will then test the disciples' learning over the past few years."

Xu Zangyu's smiling face fell.

I hate final exams the most!

After many twists and turns, the view suddenly opened up before us, revealing the brightly lit and decorated house—the Li family mansion.

The bridal sedan chair was carried from afar, and the man sitting on the horse, with his narrow, fox-like eyes, dismounted with a smile to greet the bride.

The guests following behind presented their visiting cards and rushed in, and a few of them followed them in as well.

As soon as they reached the door, they were stopped by the sharp-eyed butler. "You all look unfamiliar. I don't think I've seen you before. Do you have an invitation from the Li family?"

Of course, the group couldn't produce the invitations. When the others noticed the unusual situation, Xiao Mingxin used a pat on the shoulder as a greeting to cast a spell.

The butler immediately changed his tone, "Oh, look at my memory, you're Zhang's son, right? I heard you've been traveling around doing business these past few years and even married a woman from another place."

His gaze fell on Xu Zangyu behind him. "She's a pretty girl. You're really lucky, kid."

Xu Zangyu got goosebumps. What kind of evil magic did Xiao Mingxin use to make this person think so naturally?

Before he could speak, he was pressed down by a hand, and a voice came from his mind, "This spell will make him recognize us as old friends. If you expose him now, the spell will be broken."

Xiao Mingxin's tone was cold and indifferent, and she seemed to be getting a little impatient. "I don't expect you to catch the fox demon, but you'd better not ruin things."

Xu Cangyu was seething with anger, and Xiao Mingxin's sarcastic remarks only fueled his pent-up rage, which was about to explode.

If he doesn't teach Xiao Mingxin what the dangers of the martial world are today, then his name will be written backwards.

Xu Cangyu lost his patience and replied curtly, "I'm quite stupid, so I won't get in your way, Senior Brother."

After saying that, he walked to the back and leaned against his junior brother, chatting and laughing as usual.

"I'll hide here for a while."

Normally, Chen Zhiguang would go fishing in the river with Xu Zangyu and bathe shirtless. Now, Xu Zangyu was wearing a flowing dress that accentuated her slender figure, and Chen Zhiguang didn't know where to look.

With him pressed against her body, her face immediately flushed red, and the sound of his voice seemed to float in her ears.

He stammered, "Oh, okay."

Xu Zangyu had originally planned to make a few jokes with him as before, but seeing his expression, she suddenly stopped herself from saying them.

There's this awkward feeling that my best friend's gaze towards me has suddenly changed.

The body that had been leaning against his shoulder straightened up.

Then he saw his junior brother, who was half a head taller than him, suddenly lower his body and say, "Third senior brother, aren't you going to lean on me? I'm not afraid of getting tired."

"Good boy," Xu Cangyu was about to praise him when he felt a cold gaze fall upon him.

The eager junior apprentice, feeling guilty under their gaze, stood up straight and obediently.

Xu Zangyu felt disappointed, wondering how he had offended Xiao Mingxin again.

None of them were in his way, so why was Xiao Mingxin giving him such a hard time?

The butler rolled his eyes, patted Xiao Mingxin's shoulder sympathetically, and whispered:

"I understand, young man. What beautiful wife doesn't attract attention? Even if her heart isn't with you, she's still with you."

Xiao Mingxin frowned, his face growing even colder. "You've misunderstood. That person is just his younger brother."
