Daxuan Dynasty, the capital.

As expected, Liu Aqi passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. He only had to wait for the Ministry of Personnel to select him for the position.

But he is not the original Liu Jinyuan. Whether he is an official or not, what does it have to do with him, Liu Ahqi? The reason why he is willing to take the imperial examination is to comfort the original owner's parents.

Now that the exams were over and he had nothing to do, he ran away immediately.

Originally a nerd who knew nothing about the outside world, Liu Aqi naturally didn't understand anything about the world.

But it doesn’t matter. Relying on the magic in the chat group, he has cultivated to the third level of foundation building.

With such strength, he is not considered weak even in the world of cultivation. The disciples of the world-famous Shushan Sword Sect are at this level.

With such powerful strength at his disposal, Liu Aqi left the capital with confidence and traveled around the world.

Early that morning, he left a letter for his family and ran away from the capital.

He was dressed in a blue shirt and travelled lightly with a few followers. He bought a long sword from a weapon shop in the capital and set off.

Carrying with him his yearning for the martial arts world from his previous life, Liu Aqi left the capital and entered the legendary martial arts world of his previous life.

After leaving the capital, he headed south to Yuhang County where Li Xiaoyao was.

However, what made him depressed was that many days had passed, but he had not seen even a trace of the legendary scene that should have occurred when the young hero first started out.

There was no so-called bully young master bullying a civilian girl, no so-called female hero being drugged and losing her virginity, no so-called "this mountain is mine, this tree is mine" robbery, Liu Ahqi never encountered any of them.

This is not what I expected!

Liu Ahqi complained secretly as he hurried on his way.

From what I saw along the way, although people don't pick up things on the road, the people are simple and honest, and the people are wealthy.

Liu Ahqi originally wanted to be a hero and do justice, but what kind of heroism and justice is this?

The stability of the country showed that the dynasty was ruling well, and there was no basis for him to be a hero.

Feeling depressed, Liu Aqi walked for four or five days and finally arrived in Yuhang County.

Black-sailed boats shuttled back and forth on the river, accompanied by the loud shouts of the boatmen coming from afar.

The scenery of the Jiangnan water town came into view. After walking for a while, we arrived at a town.

The town is not big, and it seems to have about a hundred households, but because it is close to the river, it is very lively and bustling with people coming and going.

The street vendors were soliciting customers and selling goods. Liu Aqi only stopped on the street for a while and learned from the conversations of passers-by that this was a small fishing village in Yuhang County.

"I finally arrived at the place where the initial plot took place. I hope the plot hasn't started yet and everything is still in time!"

Liu Aqi recalled the plot, opened the chat group and turned on the live broadcast function.

Liu Ahqi: "Brothers, I have come to the small fishing village and will start a live broadcast for everyone to see."

[Ding! Group member 'Liu Ahqi' has started a group live broadcast. Click here to enter the live broadcast room! ]

The next moment, a group notification popped up in front of all group members.

Group members clicked on the link to enter the live broadcast room, and Su Qing was no exception.

As the scene changed, a blue sky and white clouds appeared before our eyes, and below was an ancient village.

"Hello, brothers. I am Liu Aqi. Welcome to my live broadcast room."

Following a gentle male voice, Liu Aqi, who exuded a refined air, made a brilliant appearance, clasped his fists and spoke to the camera.

"Liu Jinyuan is indeed a good-looking man, gentle and elegant, full of scholarly spirit, and makes people like him at first sight."

"The small fishing village must be the village where Li Xiaoyao is. You finally set off."

"Hurry up and go to Xianling Island. I want to see Zhao Linger!"

"Ha ha!"

"That's fine. I'm just bored."

After entering the live broadcast room, group members started shouting.

"I have also told Shazhu and Yushui that I am ready. I am leaving the capital for Hong Kong."

At this time, after He Daqing comforted Sha Zhu and his sister, he also entered the live broadcast room.

"Everyone, don't worry. I'm going to walk around the village to see if the plot of Li Xiaoyao going to Xianling Island to seek the elixir has happened."

Liu Ah Qi cupped his hands and said to everyone, "I hope it's not too late."

Everyone stopped talking. After Liu Ahqi finished speaking, he started walking around the village. The village was not very big and the population was not very large.

The village is close to a river, with developed fishing and transportation industries and a constant flow of people. The villagers are accustomed to Liu Aqi's arrival.

Not long after, he learned from the villagers' conversation about the arrival of three Miao people. These people had just entered the village today and were currently staying at Li Xiaoyao's Yunlaiyunqu Restaurant.

"Brothers, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. The plot is about to begin."

Liu Ah Qi faced the camera and said, "I'm going to look for Li Xiaoyao right now. I hope I don't miss the plot."

He strolled along the street and turned a few corners. A restaurant appeared in front of him. The facade looked quite good, but it seemed a little deserted.

There is a plaque with some paint peeling hanging at the entrance of this two-story restaurant, with six large characters "Yunlai Yunqu Restaurant" inscribed on it.

This is where the protagonist Li Xiaoyao grew up.

"Hurry up and grab his chance and his wife, haha!"

Xiao Longnu shouted as if she was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

"Ha ha!"

Everyone else laughed.

"I saw the three Miao people and the young man. He should be Li Xiaoyao. We have caught up with the plot."

Liu Ahqi walked into the restaurant. It was deserted inside, with only three middle-aged men in Miao costumes sitting at a table near the window.

He looked around and saw the slightly old decorations. There were spider webs in the corners, probably because they hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

Perhaps hearing the noise, a man in his twenties wearing a small cloth hat ran out from the inner room laughing.

"Sir, do you want to stop by or stay at the hotel? The food in our inn is famous for its deliciousness in Yuhang County, and our rooms are also famous for their comfort. More importantly, the price is very reasonable."

The young man looked at Liu Aqi with a smile in his eyes, and greeted him with a grin.

Liu Ahqi looked at the young man with great interest. He was quite handsome, with delicate features, and had a carefree and unrestrained manner, resembling a playboy.

A playful smile appeared on her lips as she watched him perform and heard him boast about his kindness.

Haha, this is such a big joke. If someone doesn’t know the truth, they might believe his lies.

Liu Aqi knows the plot of the Legend of Sword and Fairy world very well.

To put it nicely, the protagonist Li Xiaoyao is bohemian and cynical, but to put it bluntly, he is just a street gangster.

He is a man who will do anything to deceive and cheat people. If you believe his lies, you will be sold out by him and have to pay him.

"The price is fair, little brother. How fair is it?"

Thinking of this, Liu Aqi asked with a smile.

Li Xiaoyao boasted, "But this price... Hehehe, we have a lot of guests here, and the Tianzi room is often full. Even if you have money, you may not be able to stay there! So, this price is a little expensive, two taels of silver per night."

He talked incessantly, gesticulating with his hands.

Look at what this guest is wearing, he is definitely a fat sheep!

"Bang!"

"Waiter, we have already booked the restaurant, why are you still receiving guests?"

At this time, the three Miao people became unhappy and slammed the table and shouted.

"Don't be anxious, sir. Look, our restaurant is so big that there is not enough space for the three of you to stay."

Li Xiaoyao was not frightened, and said to the Miao people with a playful smile: "This gentleman wants to stay in the hotel, there is no reason for us to chase him away!"

"You people in the Central Plains don't keep your word. You took our money but you turned a deaf ear to it. This is too much."

The Miao people were furious. They came here to find Princess Ling'er, so naturally they didn't want the news to leak out.

"Humph, your little money is not enough to book our restaurant. Don't be shameless. You can stay here if you want!"

Li Xiaoyao was not a good man, he put his hands on his hips and retorted.

Just three outsiders, do you think they dare to cause trouble here? The money has been collected, but I have the final say! "Forget it, since a guest has booked the restaurant, I'll just find another inn."

Seeing that they were about to fight, Liu Ah Qi waved his hand and retreated to advance.

"It's okay, sir, you can stay here without worrying about them."

Seeing that Liu Aqi was about to leave, Li Xiaoyao of course disagreed and pulled his arm to stop him from leaving.

"Hey, stop moving your hands. You haven't finished this yet. I don't dare to stay here."

Liu Aqi broke free from his hand and still refused to move in.

"It's alright, sir, please wait a moment and watch me take care of these three Miao people."

Li Xiaoyao was not willing to let the fat sheep get away, so after comforting Liu Aqi, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward to talk "reason" with the three Miao people.

After some "friendly" communication, the three Moon Worshipers saw that Liu Aqi was just a weak scholar, and they did not want to cause trouble, so they agreed to Li Xiaoyao's request and gave up a room for Liu Aqi to live in.

Liu Ahqi didn't say anything more. He gave Li Xiaoyao ten taels of silver, booked a room in the top grade, and stayed in the Yunlaiyunqu Restaurant.

After taking a tour of the so-called No. 1 room, he returned to the hall and asked Li Xiaoyao to prepare a table of wine and food for him.

Li Xiaoyao took the silver given by Liu Aqi and ran to the kitchen quickly.

In the kitchen of the restaurant, there was a middle-aged woman who still had charm and looked to be in her thirties.

She took the silver handed to her by Li Xiaoyao, weighed it in her hand, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Hey, Rakshasa ghost, this guest is so generous, you won't ask me to go to the vegetable market to pick up some rotten vegetable leaves again, right?"

Li Xiaoyao saw her expression and asked unhappily, "They paid ten taels of silver."

"Well, what you said does make sense. Since the guest is so generous, why don't you go buy some food?"

Li Xiaoyao's aunt nodded, took out a piece of silver from her bosom and replied.

"Ah? Just this little money? It's not enough to buy two taels of meat and a fish!"

Li Xiaoyao took the change and curled his lips.

"Figure it out yourself!"

Aunt Li waved her hand.

"Tsk, how stingy!"

Li Xiaoyao left the restaurant muttering.

…

Seeing Li Xiaoyao enter the kitchen, Liu Aqi randomly found a table.

He waved his sleeves to clean the dust off the stool and sat down.

"If my guess is correct, the three Moon Worshipers will soon attack Aunt Li."

Liu Aqi looked up at the live camera and spoke to the group members.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to follow the plot and go to Xianling Island with Li Xiaoyao?"

Xie Lin asked curiously, "Or do you want to seize Li Xiaoyao's opportunity and go alone?"

"If I remember correctly, the plot of this world has already become a closed loop. Li Xiaoyao traveled back in time ten years ago to save Zhao Linger, which is why he went to Xianling Island and was dragged by his grandmother to marry Zhao Linger."

Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "If you, Old Liu, were to go to Xianling Island, you might get beaten out."

"I also remembered that the plot of this world is disgusting, and it's hard to grab the protagonist's opportunity!"

"The difficulty lies in how to break the closed loop of the plot!"

"By the way, Li Xiaoyao still has a water spirit bead in his hand. Isn't Lao Liu trying to trick this bead into his hands?"

"Oh, that's not right. The Water Spirit Pearl that Li Sansi stole from the Nanzhao Kingdom fell into the hands of the 7-year-old Li Xiaoyao. The 19-year-old Li Xiaoyao traveled back to the 9-year-old Li Xiaoyao and exchanged the Water Spirit Pearl for a wooden sword."

"Then doesn't the Water Spirit Pearl exist in the Ring of Time and Space?"

"It's possible."

After hearing this, the group members started discussing it.

"The space-time paradox is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."

Liu Ah Qi thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Logically speaking, if I decide to intervene in the plot, I should replace Li Xiaoyao as the protagonist, and I should be the one who travels back to ten years ago."

"Then, the person who traveled back to when Li Xiaoyao was 9 years old and exchanged the Water Spirit Pearl for him should also be me."

"According to this theory, Li Xiaoyao should know me, but at the moment, this guy doesn't know me."

Thinking of this, he continued, "Maybe I didn't interfere with the plot? Or maybe the ring of time and space has been broken by me?"

"The reason why the original plot formed a closed loop was because Li Xiaoyao was not strong enough to kill the water monster summoned by Baiyue."

Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "But now that you have joined the chat group, your future is immeasurable, so you don't have to consider the original plot anymore."

"You can ask Li Xiaoyao later if anyone exchanged his water spirit pearl for a wooden sword when he was 9 years old. Then everything will be clear."

After hearing this, everyone nodded involuntarily. There was nothing wrong with what Su Qing said.

"Okay, I'll find out after I try it out."

Liu Aqi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth!

"ah"

At this moment, Aunt Li in the backyard screamed and fainted on the ground.

The plot begins! (End of this chapter)
