Chapter 23: Model Protagonist

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Tm Xu Fan, an outer sect disciple.”

Xu Fan carefully sized up Ye Xiaoyao and increasingly felt that this fellow might be a protagonist.

With such a delicate appearance, Xu Fan did not want to admit that this fellow was more handsome than him.

Furthermore, Ye Xiaoyao had heaven-defying luck. Thus, he was no longer an outer sect disciple who had just entered the sect and did not know anything.

That flying sword earlier was at least at the peak of all rare treasures. Moreover, it was likely a sealed Dao treasure.

“Haha, so it’s Junior Brother Xu.”

The youth, who Xu Fan suspected was a protagonist, took out a spherical Dharma artifact and handed it to Xu Fan.

“Since we’ve met, I’ll share something with you. This Dharma artifact, the Water Sealing Pearl, will be my greeting gift to you. I hope you don’t mind.”

The youth, who seemed to be the protagonist, looked at Xu Fan meaningfully. His meaning was clear. After taking this magical artifact, Xu Fan would help him keep his secret.

Xu Fan ignored the protagonist’s words and probed.

“Odd numbers change, but even numbers don’t?”

“Good luck and great prosperity?”

“The river flows east’?”

“Moonlight shining through the window!?”

Ye Xiaoyao was confused by these four consecutive sentences.

“Junior Brother, could it be that you’re complaining that there’s too little stuff?” Ye Xiaoyao frowned and covered his head.

Looking at Ye Xiaoyao’s reaction, Xu Fan took the Water Sealing Pearl from Ye Xiaoyao’s hand in disappointment.

“understand what Senior Brother means. Thank you, Senior Brother, for this meeting gift,” said Xu Fan. He decided that in the future he would try his best to stay as far away from this protagonist as possible. Staying by his side was as great a lucky chance as it was dangerous.
Usually, a few friends would die by the protagonist’s feet.

Xu Fan would not do anything risky.

“Tm relieved that you accepted the gift.”

As he spoke, Ye Xiaoyao took out the flying sword he had just obtained. Then, he formed a rainbow in the sky as he flew towards the air.

“Junior Brother Xu, if fate wills it, we’ll meet again~”

Hearing the voice in the sky, Xu Fan could not help but say, “It’s best if we don’t meet again.”

After everything returned to normal, Xu Fan looked at the lake again.

“Lwonder if there’s anything else inside.” Xu Fan decided to search again.

Xu Fan extended his hand and pointed at the surface of the lake. Then, a palm-sized fish flew out of the lake. A purple divine light drilled into the fish’s body before several more beams of divine light entered the fish’s body.
After that, the small fish that had been completely controlled by Xu Fan returned to the small lake.

An underwater scene appeared in Xu Fan’s mind. Xu Fan controlled the small fish to swim to the bottom of the lake.

‘An hour later, Xu Fan sighed and gave up control of the small fish.

“E*ck, they really looted everything clean. They even took the worthless Night Luminescent Pearls.”

Xu Fan, who was a little disappointed, continued on his treasure-hunting journey.

‘As time passed, the mystic realm also began to fall into darkness.

In the forest, Xu Fan found a relatively open area to build his cabin.

Inside the cabin, Xu Fan took out all the spiritual medicines he had collected and counted them one by one.

“What a treasure ground.”

At this moment, a low wolf’s cry rang out. The dozen or so demon wolves that Xu Fan had controlled during the day had come to find Xu Fan.

After opening the door, more than ten pairs of glowing green eyes almost gave Xu Fan a fright.

Every demon wolf had a bag made of animal skin in their mouths.

“Wow, these fellows have quite a bit of harvest.”

Xu Fan casually took an animal-skin bag and opened it.

“This bag contained Celestial Qilin Grass, Rootless Flowers, Purple Copper, Wood Spiritual Fruit, and several Spirit Stones!”

“Is there a Spirit Stones mine nearby?” Xu Fan asked excitedly.

‘The demon wolf that had its animal-skin bag taken away began to gesture. After looking at it for a long time, Xu Fan finally understood that it had found it from a corpse.

“People have started dying so quickly.”

Afterwards, Xu Fan opened up the rest of the animal-skin bags and started to count his gains.

“These things are worth about 200 Spirit Stones. Not bad.”

After taking everything away, Xu Fan sent these demon wolves to search for treasures.

“T’ve have a good sleep today. We’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.”

In order to refine Dharma artifacts before exiting the mystic realm, Xu Fan had been working hard all this time.

Outside the cabin, a semicircular barrier of light enveloped the entire cabin. After a series of changes, the cabin quietly disappeared.

Early in the morning, Xu Fan cooked a pot of shredded chicken porridge and ate it beautifully. After a night of rest, Xu Fan recovered to his peak condition, but he was a little hungry.
Swoosh!

There was a loud sound, and a streak of light landed beside Xu Fan.

Xu Fan, who was eating the porridge, did not even raise his head. Just by listening to the sound, he knew that it was Ye Xiaoyao whom he had met yesterday. It was like the sound of a car, and every cultivator had a unique speed sound.
“Junior Brother Xu, so it’s you.” Ye Xiaoyao smiled and spoke, but his eyes were fixed on the pot of porridge beside Xu Fan.

Xu Fan put down the bowl and said with a sigh, “If Senior Brother Ye doesn’t mind, come over and have some porridge.”

Xu Fan took out a bowl from his storage space and scooped some porridge for Ye Xiaoyao.

He made up his mind to stay away from people who he suspected were protagonists. He would become stronger if he stayed away from them. There was no need to take risks.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiaoyao’s eyes lit up. He took the bowl of porridge and started to drink it.

He was indeed a little hungry. He had actually forgotten to bring some food over.

“Senior Brother Ye, you’re so powerful. You must be a disciple-in-waiting of the A-Hall, right?” Xu Fan casually asked, mainly to see if this fellow was a model protagonist.

“No, I’ma disciple-in-waiting of the Myriad Sword Peak. My master is Elder Yuan Hui,” replied Ye Xiaoyao with a smile. The way he looked at Xu Fan became increasingly friendly.
“Elder Yuan Hui? He’s a Fusion Stage mighty figure from the immortal sword lineage of the inner sect.”

“Senior Brother Ye’s future is limitless.” Xu Fan pretended to be envious.

With a powerful master, he could barely be considered as a model protagonist.

At this moment, Ye Xiaoyao’s smile was somewhat bitter. This scene was instantly captured by Xu Fan.

“Senior Brother Ye has unparalleled talent and obtained a precious treasure in the mystic realm. When you return, won’t you rise to power in no time?” Xu Fan continued to respectfully welcome.
“Tm not afraid of Junior Brother Xu’s jokes. A few months ago, I was still an inner sect disciple in the Foundation Establishment stage. Then, my cultivation level mysteriously disappeared. Now, I’ve fallen to Level-9 of the Qi Refinement Stage. I don’t know when this will end.”
Ye Xiaoyao sighed again. “I’m thinking of saving more worldly things now. If I become a Level-1 mortal in the future, it would be a good choice to live a rich life.”

His master had even invited the First Elder, who was in seclusion during the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, to help him in this matter. However, in the end, he still failed.
‘When he heard this, Xu Fan instantly looked at Ye Xiaoyao’s hands. Indeed, there was a simple and unadorned ring.

“L believe that Senior Brother Ye will definitely return to your old self and seize the glory that belongs to you.”

However, Xu Fan thought, “F*ck. Now that I’m sure that this guy is definitely a protagonist, I have to stay away from him in the future.”

“Thank you for your consolation, Junior Brother Xu. In the past, people would mock and ridicule me after learning about what happened to me. Even those who are weaker than me would have a gloating expression.”
“Junior Brother Xu, I’m definitely going to befriend you,” said Ye Xiaoyao sincerely.

“No, I don’t want to be your friend.” In his heart, Xu Fan was very resistant.
