[Ding! The protagonist has been affected by an unknown influence, and their luck value has decreased by 20%.]
As Xia Muge was sizing up Tang Ranran, the system's voice suddenly came through, surprising him.
Is the protagonist's luck waning?
"System, what's going on?"
This is normal.
[Although the host is primarily cannon fodder designed to weaken the protagonist's luck, it doesn't mean the host is the only cannon fodder character targeting the protagonist in this world. When the protagonist's luck is still considerable, such a situation naturally wouldn't occur. However, after the protagonist's luck diminishes, the cannon fodder's luck doesn't, indicating that the cannon fodder has already gained the strength to fight the protagonist.]
[Xu Feng was heavily favored by Heaven, but this also meant that the cannon fodder and villains in this world had considerable luck.]
Xia Muge understood.
It means the protagonist's luck isn't that high, so the other cannon fodder characters help him win without any effort.
The protagonist of this world was an undefeated protagonist in the original storyline.
Now that the protagonist's luck has weakened, it means that other cannon fodder characters can also defeat the protagonist, and consequently, the protagonist's luck has also decreased.
He said, "Does that mean that, theoretically, even if I don't take action, Xu Feng's luck value will still decrease?"
That's the theoretical correct statement.
However, the protagonist is ultimately favored by fate; relying on other cannon fodder is less reliable than relying on yourself.
Although Xia Muge was also cannon fodder, he is a different kind of cannon fodder now.
"Understood."
Now is not a good time to communicate with the system.
He looked at Tang Ranran and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here. I thought you had gone to the Cloud Realm Holy Land."
His words left Tang Ranran momentarily stunned.
She pursed her lips and said, "I have already left the Holy Land."
After Tang Ranran and Xu Feng's last argument, Xu Feng abandoned Tang Ranran.
Ziyang Daoist was indifferent to Tang Ranran, while Xu Feng had many suitors who were making things difficult for her within the Holy Land.
This made her realize that it would be impolite for her to stay in the holy place any longer.
Tang Ranran was once a proud person.
Although her pride was mostly due to Xia Muge's doting attitude, she was once a young lady of high birth.
Now, she only feels disdain for Yunhuan Holy Land.
As for making Xu Feng responsible for the rest of his life, let's forget about that.
After all, a cultivator's lifetime is far too long.
It's impossible to expect a cultivator to be responsible for someone. Therefore, there are many cultivators who have broken up and reunited. Even if they sleep together, it doesn't really prove anything about their relationship.
After realizing this, Tang Ranran finally understood one thing: love is worthless.
Xia Muge once loved her, so he made her into a pampered young lady.
Xu Feng also fell in love with her for a while, and she became a disciple of the Holy Land that everyone envied.
However, after depriving herself of the man's love, she found that she hadn't grown at all.
After realizing this, Tang Ranran left the Yunhuan Holy Land and even the Great Xia Kingdom.
She found a small town that monks rarely went to, and then used the money she had to settle down there.
Since she had no hope of advancing in her cultivation level and didn't possess any rare treasures, she didn't focus on improving her own cultivation level. Instead, she stayed here to teach a few disciples.
Perhaps, it might be able to change their fate.
However, Tang Ranran did not expect that she would meet Xia Muge here.
When she met Xia Muge again, she thought she would feel angry, guilty, and afraid.
However, when I actually encountered it, I found that my only emotion was calm.
She has completely let go.
Tang Ranran is now all alone and has no other pursuits.
Even if Xia Muge were so angry that he wanted to kill her, she wouldn't care.
She said, "I didn't expect you to come here. Is the girl next to you your junior sister from Qingcheng Mountain? Are you taking her on a training trip?"
Xia Muge looked at Tang Ranran with surprise in his eyes.
With his abilities, it wasn't hard for him to see that Tang Ranran was in a relaxed mood.
He thought for a moment and said, "This is Caiwei, and she is now my Daoist partner."
The story of the junior sister from Qingcheng Mountain is long gone.
Tang Ranran's eyes did not show any surprise. Instead, she smiled and said to Caiwei, "Hello, Fellow Daoist Caiwei. Xia Muge is a very good person. I was wrong before and lost him. Now that he has chosen you, I hope you can cherish him."
Caiwei smiled broadly; she naturally knew about the past issues between Xia Muge and Tang Ranran.
However, she did not expect that Tang Ranran could let go so easily now.
She said, "You're not wrong."
If it were the Tang Ranran of the past, she might have even considered competing with Caiwei.
But now she doesn't even have that thought anymore.
She pursed her lips and said, "Mmm."
Then, she apologized to Xia Muge: "I'm sorry, I was ignorant and spoiled before."
Xia Muge's feelings were somewhat complicated.
Her apology came too late.
After all, it was he who received the apology, not the original Xia Muge.
The original Xia Muge is no longer a person of this world.
However, he also knew that Tang Ranran's matter actually had little to do with her personally.
All people in this world who have thoughts are simply following the settings of a certain will.
Tang Ranran did that because of the protagonist's halo.
More importantly, he also orchestrated the downfall of the Tang family because of this.
If it weren't for his deliberate scheme, the Tang family would never have fallen to such a state.
Xia Muge said, "What's past is past. Caiwei and I are leaving now."
Tang Ranran smiled and said, "Yes."
After the two men left, she continued to teach the children.
But then the children blinked and asked, "Teacher, was that person your friend?"
"No, a teacher doesn't deserve to be his friend."
She said, "Teacher, I once did something wrong that hurt the person who just came. And now, he has come to forgive me."
Children don't yet understand the complexities of love and hate.
However, he could sense Tang Ranran's genuine joy at this moment.
This is a kind of relaxed happiness.
…
…
Xia Muge and Caiwei walked a long distance.
Caiwei then spoke softly, "I thought you would rekindle your old flame, or swagger around in front of your old flame."
Xia Muge: "Do I look like such a shallow person?"
Caiwei smiled and said, "No, I don't know how."
"But don't you think it's satisfying to have your face slapped in the face in a storyline?"
"The idea of getting revenge on an ex-lover is a timeless trope in folk tales."
Xia Muge: "Boring."
He's not the main character, why is he acting out a wish-fulfillment story?
