Wearing cannon fodder
The cold weather is making me uneasy.
Then Cang Jingqi shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen them yet. In a few days, the three sects will count the number of disciples to see if any have been captured by the rebels. Han Xiaoman, what are you so nervous about?"
"Nothing. Oh, right, they also said..."
Before the words were even finished, lightning struck down—
"Have you heard? There was a torrential downpour and thunder yesterday, and someone in the Four Provinces Sect was struck by lightning!"
"Exactly! It's been blasted black!"
...
"You're the one who got charred black! Your whole family got charred black! Mine's just scorched yellow..." Han Jiang muttered, leaning against the bed.
"Good, good, good, burnt yellow, burnt yellow." Wen Wan applied the medicine to Han Jiang.
I've really run into the worst luck.
Last night, Han Jiang was sent back to the Four Continents Sect by Cang Jingqi, and he was struck by lightning just before he arrived.
She would never forget Cang Jingqi's gloating expression!
Cang Jingqi left her at the entrance of the Four Continents Sect, saying that someone would come to pick her up, and then left.
She was struck by lightning and was unable to move, lying at the entrance of the sect.
Fortunately, someone came to pick Han Jiang up before the heavy rain started. It was her master, Han Tian.
Han Jiang finally understood where the sense of relief she felt when she saw Cang Jingqi came from.
Cang Jingqi and Han Tian were friends for many years. Seeing him was like seeing his master, and he naturally felt at ease.
When Han Tian saw his disciple injured like this, he was heartbroken and asked Wen Wan to come up the mountain that very night to treat Han Jiang.
Han Jiang joined the Four Continents Sect nine years ago, became a disciple of Elder Han Tian, and was given the name Han Jiang. He is also Han Shan's only disciple at present.
Wen Wan is an elder of Wenshan and is skilled in medicine.
"Don't worry, I specially found some snow lotus to add to your medicine. Your complexion will return to normal in a few days," Han Tian comforted him.
Snow lotus, even the royal family has very few of them, but Han Tian casually took one and gave it to Han Jiang.
Han Tian, true to his name, exudes an aura of distance that sends chills down one's spine. This is largely due to his strength; Elder Han Tian of the Four Continents Sect is unrivaled in the immortal sects, and only a handful of people throughout the entire world can rival him.
Han Jiang shrugged, feeling dejected. The real problem wasn't the blackening of his skin; it was that his already hazy memories had become even more blurred after being struck by lightning.
I can't remember anything, not even what happened last night.
"Xiaoman," Hantian said, "you should rest well first. I'll take Elder Wenwan back."
Han Jiang nodded.
Han Tian doted on this apprentice and had not taken on any new apprentices in the past nine years.
This sounds like the female lead's character. Could I be the female lead?
That's exhausting.
Han Jiang has always felt that the female lead is an exceptionally hard-working character. She has to endure hardships, save the world, and fall in love, and her relationship with the male lead is constantly in crisis. It would be more reassuring for her to just be a passerby.
It's so comfortable to stay in bed; I get sleepy very quickly as the cold weather sets in.
After yawning three or four times in a row, there was a knock on the door.
"Is anyone there?" came a gentle female voice.
"Yes—" Han Jiang said while yawning.
The man pushed open the door and entered. He wore a pale yellow suit, was thin and tall, with a broad forehead, a high nose, and a small mouth.
Disciple of Wenshan.
The Four Continents Sect is divided into seven mountains, and the sect gates are distinguished by the color of their robes. Hanshan's robes are light blue.
"Elder Wen Wan has already left." Han Jiang assumed that they had come to see Wen Wan.
The female disciple said gently, "I'm not here to see Elder Wen, I'm here to see you, Han Jiang."
Han Jiang thought for a moment and realized that he had nothing to do with this woman; she was not an old acquaintance.
"Who are you?" Han Jiang asked.
"You don't remember me?"
I really don't remember. I need to come up with an excuse, but how should I start? Should I say I have amnesia? Or that I'm sick?
"Um, I'm sick, oh no, I've lost my memory, oh no, I'm sorry!" What am I even saying?! Han Jiang wanted to slap himself.
"Actually, I'm sick." Han Jiang really wanted to die.
Wen Xu laughed out loud: "I was a little hesitant before coming, but seeing you like this, I'm much more certain now."
Han Jiang asked doubtfully, "Are you sure about what? Are you also from another time?"
The woman was delighted, closed the door to Han Jiang's room tightly, and sat down next to him: "That's right."
Han Jiang immediately snapped out of his drowsiness and asked, "What's your name?"
“Wenxu, the Xu of 'warm and gentle',” Wenxu said.
When fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears.
Although it's unknown where Wen Xu is from, meeting someone from the real world in another world is a kind of luck.
Regardless of whether Wen Xu is a friend or foe, in this world, it is already difficult to speak on the same wavelength.
"How do you know I'm not from this world?" Han Jiang asked.
Wen Xu said, "You definitely haven't read this novel. The reason why the female protagonist, Han Qi, was taken in by Han Tian is because Han Tian's first disciple, Han Jiang, died in the rebellion, and Han Shan needed a new direct disciple."
Wen Xu is the villainous second female lead in the original novel, and she is also a stumbling block on the road to love between the male and female leads.
Han Jiang: "Am I dead?"
"The original Han Jiang died. Now, you have taken Han Jiang's place, allowing the identity of Han Jiang to live on."
Wen Xu continued, "I heard this morning that Master came to Hanshan to treat you, and after inquiring, I found out that you were not dead. Then I knew that this Hanjiang was not the same as that Hanjiang. You are either a spy sent by the rebels, or a transmigrator who was pulled into this world by the system like me - obviously, you are the latter."
It turned out to be just some random passerby who died young. Han Jiang thought to himself: Does that mean we can just give up now?
Cold - Full of thoughts of giving up - Descending.
"Will it have any impact if I continue to live?"
“Of course there is,” Wen Xu said. “If you were alive, the female lead might not have become Han Tian’s disciple, the male and female leads would not have met, and there would be no story later on.”
Han Jiang: "Then what should we do?"
"Don't worry, this is good news. Do you have any system tasks?"
Han Jiang shook his head.
Wen Xu said, "I do. I am the second female lead in the original book, and my task is to win over the male lead. Because of you, the female lead didn't go to Cold Mountain, which actually saved her some trouble, and I can win over the male lead more effectively. Once we've won him over, we can go home."
Frame the female lead while also trying to seduce the male lead – this is a tough task. Luckily, she discovers there's another transmigrator, and hopes Han Jiang can offer help at certain times.
The only concern is that changing the course of the story right at the beginning could have a significant impact on the future.
"I see." Han Jiang seemed to be deep in thought.
Cannon fodder, lying down and winning: plan in the air! Han Jiang has already started planning his life of lying down and being a lazy bum.
Han Shan's cultivation was easy, as Han Tian doted on his disciple and would never force Han Jiang to cultivate.
What a carefree life!
"Is there anything I can help you with?" It's best to ask casually; it would seem a bit awkward to rely entirely on the group leader for a group project.
"There really is."
Don't actually believe me. All I want to do during this cold snap is drift along.
"Han Tian is very good to you and listens to your opinions in everything. First, don't give yourself away; second, find a way to stop Han Tian from taking Han Qi as his disciple. Leave the rest to me."
"I feel relieved to hear you say that." Han Jiang likes this kind of leader who can carry the whole team.
It feels so reassuring, like water.
"Sister Wen, how did you travel through time?" Han Jiang asked casually, trying to get closer to her. "I mean, what kind of situation were you in when you woke up?"
Wen Xu was puzzled: "Nothing special, I just woke up in bed..."
It seems that Wen Xu is the real transmigrator, while her cold descent was just an accident, which explains why she doesn't even have a system.
The Han Jiang in the novel died along with the real-life Han Jiang, and the real-life woman took the place of the Han Jiang in the novel.
"What's wrong?" Wen Xu asked.
Han Jiang twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing..." It was just a night of getting his head blown off, seppuku cut open, being kicked, climbing mountains, being splashed with cold water, being elbowed, and being struck by lightning.
It's not dead! It's not dead!
Han Jiang silently hugged herself and realized that God was only raining down on her head.
After the warmth subsided, Hanjiang wanted to take a good nap, but then someone knocked on the door again.
Next time, I'll definitely put up a sign saying we're taking a break and please do not disturb us.
Cang Jingqi and Han Tian entered the room one after the other.
"Master," Han Jiang greeted. As for Cang Jingqi, Han Jiang really couldn't remember his name; perhaps he had never known him before.
“Xiaoman, your master shouldn’t be bothering you, but the situation outside is serious. Not only Anzhou, but Mizhou is also in chaos.” Hantian said, “Aqi said that those people’s goal is the Immortal Sect. With Mizhou in turmoil, the Four States Sect will definitely not stand idly by.”
In this place, humans and demons coexist. The human realm is divided into eight provinces, unified under the Kingdom of Liu. The demon realm occupies a small area, situated in the southeast, while most of its land is inhabited by humans.
It is unknown which Demon Lord signed a contract with the Emperor, and from then on, humans and demons lived in peace.
The sect Han Jiang belongs to is called the Four Continents Sect, which, as the name suggests, is a sect located at the intersection of four continents.
The Mi Prefecture that Han Tian mentioned is located near the Four Prefectures Sect. The An Prefecture, where the turmoil occurred, is located in the south of Mi Prefecture and the north of the Demon Realm.
"Xiaoman, did you hear any information last night?"
Han Jiang said with difficulty, "Master, to be honest, after being struck by lightning, I don't remember many things from before, including what happened last night..."
Cang Jingqi chuckled lightly: "Is it really just that you forgot?"
Or perhaps you are not Han Jiang at all? Cang Jingqi did not tell Han Tian about the abnormality of Han Jiang's spiritual energy; he was waiting for Han Jiang to reveal his true identity.
Han Jiang felt that Cang Jingqi's words had a hidden meaning.
Could it be that we've been exposed so quickly? Han Jiang kept her composure, she couldn't panic, she had to put on an act!
"Master, I really can't remember. My head is throbbing. How about letting me rest for a few days?" No acting skills, just an excuse.
Han Tian said, "Then you should rest well, but don't stay in the house all the time. Go out for a walk. If you don't have enough money, just come to me for more. I'll have someone look for ways to help you regain your memories."
My goodness, what an amazing master! The life of wealth and leisure that Hanjiang dreamed of actually came true in the book.
"Then you should go quickly. I'd like to have a chat with your precious disciple." Cang Jingqi pushed Han Tian out of the room amidst his incredulous gaze.
"What do you and Xiaoman have to talk about? Let Xiaoman rest!"
"Just a casual chat, it won't disturb her rest."
"A man and a woman alone together, it's not a good look!" Han Tian was still worried.
"Very fast!"
Based on those few words, Hanjiang felt even more that Hantian was an even bigger benefactor.
The original owner must have trusted Hantian a lot, which is why she felt comforted when she saw Cang Jingqi.
Upon seeing my master's friend, I subconsciously felt that my master was also nearby.
When only the two of them were left in the room, Han Jiang realized the seriousness of the problem: What should we call Master's friend again?
"What are you thinking about?" Cang Jingqi seemed to be able to read people's minds.
"I was thinking about what to call you..." Han Jiang blurted out his thoughts, then quickly added, "No, I mean, I forgot what your name is."
"Oh, I see. If you've forgotten about it, then forget about it." Cang Jingqi said nonchalantly, taking a box out of his pocket. "I'm sorry you were frightened last night. This is a gift to make up for it."
The simple carvings, painted red, have a strange beauty that attracts attention and makes people want to take the box.
"A black jade bracelet?" Han Jiang opened the box unconsciously, but before she could pick it up, she suddenly realized that it was wrong to take other people's things, so she immediately closed the box and handed it back.
"It's alright, it's alright, how could I accept this?" It must have been a ghost just now, how could my hand have been so quick to accept it!
Cang Jingqi put his hands behind his back and said, "You used to accept them. Your master and I have such a good relationship, what's wrong with accepting a gift from me?"
We've always accepted them, so it wouldn't be good if we didn't this time.
Han Jiang withdrew his hand, put the box away, and placed it by the bedside.
Why put it away? Try it on.
Looking up as Hanjiang descended, Cang Jingqi's eyes betrayed no hint of anticipation or disapproval.
When you look into his eyes, he smiles broadly, not seeming to have any ill intentions.
"Okay." Han Jiang took out the jade bracelet and hesitated whether to wear it on her left or right wrist. As if it had a spirit, the jade bracelet slid onto her left wrist automatically.
I tried again, but I couldn't get it off.
Cang Jing retorted, "The less likely you are to lose something, the less likely you are to take it off."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. As always, you don't need to tell your master if you accept my things; it's our secret." Cang Jingqi made a "shh" gesture.
"Okay. Um, so what's your name?"
Cang Jingqi ignored those words and left without lingering for a moment.
Han Jiang tried for a long time, but the jade bracelet was tightly wrapped around her hand and she couldn't remove it.
This is definitely not an ordinary jade bracelet.
They even said not to tell the master, which is strange.
You definitely need to tell your parents before you receive anything.
Han Jiang crouched down and peeked through the crack in the door at Cang Jingqi as he walked away. She quickly changed her clothes and went to complain to her peerless master.
