The Female Lead's Persona Has Completely Changed After I Transmigrated into the Villain

Xu Chen thought it over. If he admitted to cheating, he'd be expelled. And if he was expelled, how could he follow the plot? He couldn't! So it was obvious—he absolutely couldn't confess.

Thus, Xu Chen said, "No. Ye Xuan is jealous of me, so he's trying to frame me."

The crowd clicked their tongues. Who was lying here?

PS: First chapter! 870 flowers, two bonus chapters. One 588 tip, one bonus chapter. 62 evaluation votes, another bonus chapter. So nine chapters today!!! Keep the data coming!

Cang Gu snorted coldly. "One of you two is lying. But regardless of who, the liar will not enter the Academy."

Xu Chen's face twisted in pain. What the hell...

If he actually proved he wasn't lying, then the protagonist Ye Xuan would be gone. Damn it. If the protagonist was gone, what plot was he supposed to follow?

The contradiction was severe—a real dilemma!

At this moment, Ye Xuan declared confidently, "Xu Chen definitely isn't at Mid-stage Third Rank."

He didn't mention that Li Ruoling had helped Xu Chen, since he had feelings for her. But this Xu Chen—he had to get rid of him.

"System, this plot is ridiculous. It wasn't here originally!" Xu Chen asked the system.

The system responded, "It is indeed a bit strange. Try to pull the original plot back on track."

Xu Chen's head throbbed. Pull it back? How?!

Right now, either he left or Ye Xuan left.

So he steeled himself and said, "Elder, it's just jealousy. No need to expel him. A chance to enter the Academy is rare."

Ye Xuan: "???"

Wait, what confidence did you have that you'd won? Are you sure it's not you leaving?

Cang Gu said coldly, "The Academy doesn't lack geniuses. Anyone lacking moral integrity is not accepted."

He thought Xu Chen was defending himself, and his expression grew even colder.

Jiang Lan and Jiang Hong also caught on. They looked at Li Ruoling, eyes wide.

You little schemer. So that's how Brother Chen won—you caused this. Now Brother Chen's in trouble. Damn it.

Li Ruoling secretly regretted it. Who would've thought Ye Xuan could see through it? Oh, no—it was that Spirit Venerable. Damn it. She'd been too eager to help Xu Chen and forgot.

She gritted her teeth. If Xu Chen was really expelled, she would follow him. In this life, she would marry no one but Xu Chen.

Ye Xuan sneered. "Xu Chen, are you scared? Trying to beg the elder? Do you think the elder is that kind of person?"

Cang Gu said flatly, "Enough. Words are useless. Release your realm aura. If you're not at Mid-stage Third Rank, please leave on your own."

"Hold on!"

Just then, a clear, cold voice came from nearby.

Everyone was startled. They followed the sound and their eyes widened.

A woman like a fairy slowly stepped down on auspicious clouds, a halo glowing behind her, like an immortal or a buddha. Her green robes fluttered, her bearing exquisite, and her aura was extraordinary—already above the Sixth Rank.

Who else could it be but the Palace Master, Shangguan Luoyun?

Xu Chen saw Shangguan Luoyun and was overjoyed.

Perfect. This was the protagonist's future master, and also a love interest. In other words, even if he crushed Ye Xuan, Shangguan Luoyun would still speak up for Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Ha, who knew the plot would resolve so easily? How satisfying.

At this moment, Cang Gu saw Shangguan Luoyun and quickly cupped his hands. "Greetings, Palace Master."

Shangguan Luoyun said calmly, "Ye Xuan and Xu Chen are both rare geniuses. Even if someone made a mistake, it's no big deal. They can be given a chance to reform."

Cang Gu was stunned. Wasn't this rule set by you, Palace Master? Why are you going back on it today?

Of course, he didn't dare question Shangguan Luoyun, so he said, "Yes!"

Li Ruoling, Jiang Lan, and Jiang Hong all breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Xu Chen was fine, they still wanted to get closer to him.

Beside them, Ye Xuan refused to accept it. "But Palace Master, the first place was taken by a cheater. I won't accept this."

Shangguan Luoyun frowned, a flicker of disgust flashing in her eyes.

She had already made her stance clear, obviously not wanting to discuss it further, yet he still dared to speak?

My Chen'er—how dare you talk about him like that?

She was about to lash out and defend Xu Chen, but then she happened to glance at him.

Hm?

Wasn't this troublemaker at Mid-stage Third Rank? Why did Ye Xuan claim he cheated?

Her anger instantly turned to delight. What a good Chen'er—his strength had surged so fast this time.

So she smiled and said, "Xu Chen, just show us your strength. No matter the result, you can all stay at Jixia Academy."

Xu Chen thought it over. According to a villain's personality, he shouldn't be coy about it.

Anyway, with Shangguan Luoyun backing him, he might as well let loose.

"Boom!"

He shook his entire body, and the next moment, a Mid-stage Third Rank aura burst forth like a raging tide, spreading in all directions.

Those nearby felt their clothes snap and their hair whip in the wind.

"This—this is real Mid-stage Third Rank!"

"And the aura is so stable, with no hint of instability."

"He must have been at Mid-stage Third Rank for a long time to have such refined spiritual energy. How could this be fake?"

In an instant, many academy disciples spoke up, amazed.

They had thought Xu Chen was Mid-stage Third Rank, but they hadn't expected it to be this solid.

In a few more days, he might even break through to Late-stage Third Rank.

Li Ruoling was stunned. Wait, this didn't match the original plot.

When had Xu Chen become Mid-stage Third Rank?

Could it be because of...

She suddenly thought of the Human Spirit Pill and Mystic Spirit Pill.

She understood, then stomped her jade-like foot. He had made her worry so much—how annoying.

"How could this be..."

Ye Xun felt as if several slaps had landed on his face, burning hot.

His master had clearly said Xu Chen was only Late-stage Second Rank!

For a moment, his face turned pale, and he felt utterly humiliated, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

After Xu Chen released his aura, he noticed the system hadn't issued a warning.

He breathed a sigh of relief. That was fine.

Ah, if nothing unexpected happened in the future, he'd better just stay in the background.
