It turns out that the world I live in is just a fictional world. It's not that someone recorded our story on paper, but rather that our world came into being because someone wrote this story.
My fifth junior sister and I were just minor supporting characters, what are commonly known as cannon fodder who were born for the protagonist and died for the protagonist.
Xia Wanqing and Luo Wuji are the protagonists of this world.
The woman before me is the author of this book, our creator, the true creator. Xia Wanqing and the others possess the fortune this woman needs.
Only if all of us die or survive to the finale as depicted in the original storyline can the story be considered complete. Only then can she reclaim this fortune and use it to create a world of boundless love, without discrimination or comparison, a truly fair and free world ruled by her.
But... how can there be a ruler in a fair and free world?
I don't believe it.
She also told me two other things: Fifth Junior Sister had died long ago, and now her body was occupied by a wandering ghost from another world, just like her.
No wonder Fifth Junior Sister's personality changed so drastically.
She thought I would hate the current Fifth Junior Sister, but she forgot that she was the one who caused everything, and I will only hate her.
Another thing is that she has a book that can know everything and a pen that can change everyone's fate.
So, she was the one who caused the lightning that shattered my house?
Ha, how ridiculous.
Next, I learned from her that as long as I agreed to offer my soul, her system could allow me to be reborn, to be the protagonist in any of the worlds she created.
Just like Xia Wanqing.
Ridiculous, I don't want to be a puppet.
I lied to her, I said I would agree to her request.
However, I still want to see my junior sister and fifth junior sister again.
She looked at me as if I had done her a great favor: "Alright, as you wish, I'll give you this chance."
Her face radiated impeccable confidence, as if she felt she had me under her control.
She's delusional.
But I finally returned to the place I had left behind. I was back with my body, and miraculously, there was a strange talisman on my body, and my fifth junior sister was beside me.
From the eyes of Fifth Junior Sister's senior brothers, I learned that the genius on the spirit ship was Fifth Junior Sister.
I didn't rush to enter my body; I was watching to see what my fifth junior sister was going to do.
With a serious expression, she asked me, "Then let me ask you, how many people in the Hengyang Sect know that the Soul-Devouring Banner is in Xia Wanqing's hands?"
My body remained motionless when a clear, complex, but incomprehensible voice suddenly rang in my ears. I could sense that the owner of this voice was different from that woman.
How could the soul inside his body, controlled by that woman, possibly utter anything?
I squeezed the soul out directly, and before I could even see it clearly, the soul disappeared.
Perhaps it was the effect of the talisman.
I told my fifth junior sister everything that my master, who was also the Grand Elder, had told me.
"Besides the two elders of the Enforcement Hall, the Supreme Elder, the First Elder, the Outer Sect Elders, and all the disciples, the other four elders of the Inner Sect also know."
Fifth Junior Sister frowned: "That's not right. There are six inner sect elders besides the Supreme Elder. There should be five besides the Grand Elder. So what about the last one?"
I replied, "The Sixth Elder is dead."
Fifth Junior Sister's pupils constricted: "Tell me everything you know."
Actually, I don't know much; it's all what my master told me.
"Since the Tiannan Secret Realm incident, the sect elders have had some complaints about Xia Wuxin and also have some dissatisfaction with Xia Wanqing. The situation could have taken a turn for the better, but a few months ago, the sect elders all received a secret letter from Xia Wanqing about plotting to harm the sect disciples. This matter is of great importance, and the First Elder ordered the Fourth Elder to investigate it in secret."
"After Xia Wanqing returned from the Forbidden Forest, the Fourth Elder discovered something amiss, and the disciple who delivered the secret message revealed his true identity—it was Xue Ling'er, the one Xia Wanqing had mentioned as a defector during our previous training trip..."
"..."
"I have only one purpose in coming here: to kill Xia Wanqing. Only when she is dead will all this stop and the Grand Elder be rescued."
I babbled on and on, telling her everything my master had told me.
All of this is for no other reason than that from the words and actions of the female protagonist who claims to be the creator, I can sense that she is wary of and even disgusted by the fifth junior sister, but I don't know why she also dislikes the fifth junior sister and is unwilling to acknowledge the fifth junior sister's talent.
Fifth Junior Sister is very clever. She asked me, "Did the First Elder tell you all this?"
Of course I wouldn't say it's true, it was the Grand Elder who told me.
I said, "I saw it myself."
As I spoke, I handed the image-recording bead that my master had given me to my fifth junior sister. She was quite excited and immediately started looking at it with her senior brothers and sisters.
My gaze followed her, my eyes dark and uneasy. I knew that woman was observing us. It seemed I had to keep up the act, or I would implicate them.
But I still have my fifth junior sister's talisman on me. Although the talisman can't control me under that person's influence, I can't let my fifth junior sister and the others see through it.
They could only wait for their fifth junior sister to remove the talisman. Sure enough, after reading it, the fifth junior sister removed the talisman. They had already guessed Xia Wanqing and her father's plan.
They want me to act as bait to lure Xia Wanqing here.
It felt a bit hasty, and besides, I had a feeling that the people around my fifth junior sister weren't exactly friendly to me. I looked at them warily and jumped back to a safe distance: "What did you do to me?"
This is the basic quality of someone who is cannon fodder.
Observing Fifth Junior Sister's wickedness from the sidelines was quite different from actually feeling it. When she grabbed me by the back of the collar, I was extremely surprised: "Wait, how did you grab me?"
I don't understand! I absolutely cannot understand!
Fifth Junior Sister looked at me with an innocent expression: "You just caught it like that, was it that hard?"
She asked the question earnestly, but I didn't miss the contempt in her eyes. I understood; she thought I was a good-for-nothing, the kind who had never seen the world.
I've broken down! I've really broken down!
Looking at my fifth junior sister, I can imagine that my face must look worse than if I had eaten shit.
Fifth Junior Sister's expression left no room for refusal: "Let's go together!"
I'm very willing, but what's with those two gloomy, dead-faced senior brothers and sisters of Fifth Junior Sister?
These two idiots practically have "I'll kill you if you dare refuse" written all over their faces!
Most importantly, I could even hear the cracking sound of their fists clenching.
Holy crap! A threat! This is a blatant threat!
And that dead fox, it kept baring its teeth and growling at me, its fur standing on end.
Holy crap! If I weren't outmatched, I'd fucking beat this damn fox to death!
I was willing at first, but now, I fucking want to run away.
but……
First: A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; Second: It seems like we have a better chance of winning if we team up with them!
Forcing a smile, I mumbled an agreement: "Okay."
