Transmigrated into a Book as the Villain, the Heroines' Character Settings Have All Changed - Part 11

Xu Chen thought it over. If he really admitted to cheating, he would be thrown out.

If he was thrown out, how was he supposed to follow the plot? He couldn't!

So it was obvious—he absolutely could not admit it.

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

Everyone clicked their tongues. Just who was lying here?

PS: First update! 870 flowers, so two extra chapters; one 588 reward, so one extra chapter; 62 evaluation votes, so another extra chapter. Nine updates today!!! Keep the data coming!

Cang Gu snorted coldly. "Between you two, one of you must be lying. But regardless of who it is, the liar will not be allowed to enter the Academy."

Xu Chen's face twisted in agony. Damn it...

If he really proved that he was not lying, then the protagonist Ye Xuan would be gone.

Fuck, if the protagonist is gone, what plot am I supposed to follow?

The contradiction was severe—a choice between two impossible paths!

At that moment, Ye Xuan declared with absolute certainty, "Xu Chen definitely isn't at the Mid-stage Third Rank."

He did not say that Li Ruoling had helped Xu Chen, since he had feelings for Li Ruoling.

But Xu Chen—he was definitely going to drive him away.

"System, this plot is ridiculous. It didn't exist in the original story!"

Xu Chen asked the system.

The system replied, "It is indeed rather strange. You must do your best to pull things back onto the original plot."

Xu Chen's head throbbed. Pull it back my ass!

The current situation was simple: either he left, or Ye Xuan left.

So he forced himself to say, "Elder, it's merely jealousy. There's no need to drive him away. The chance to enter the Academy is quite hard to come by."

Ye Xuan: "???"

No, where did you get the confidence to think you had won?

Are you sure you aren't the one leaving?

Cang Gu said coldly, "The Academy does not lack geniuses, but anyone lacking in moral character will not be accepted."

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

Jiang Lan and Jiang Hong also came to their senses. They looked at Li Ruoling with wide eyes.

You little bitch, I was wondering how Brother Chen could win. So you were behind this.

Now look what happened—Brother Chen is in trouble. Damn it.

Li Ruoling secretly regretted it. Who would have thought Ye Xuan could see through it?

Oh, no—it was that Spirit Venerable. Damn it, she had been so eager to help Xu Chen that she had forgotten.

She gritted her teeth. If Xu Chen was truly driven away, then she would follow him too.

In this life, she would marry no one but Xu Chen.

Ye Xuan sneered. "Xu Chen, are you afraid? You even want to beg the elder? Do you think the elder is that kind of person?"

Cang Gu said indifferently, "Enough. More words are useless. Release your cultivation aura. If you are not at the Mid-stage Third Rank, then leave of your own accord."

"Wait!"

Just then, a cool, clear voice rang out from the surroundings.

Everyone froze, then followed the sound—and their eyes widened.

A woman like a Fairy slowly stepped over auspicious clouds, a halo glowing behind her, as immortal as a goddess, as sacred as a Buddha.

Her green robes fluttered in the wind, her bearing was peerless, and her aura was even more extraordinary. She was already above the Sixth Rank.

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

The moment Xu Chen saw Shangguan Luoyun, he was overjoyed.

Wonderful. She was the protagonist's future master—and one of his harem members.

In other words, even if he crushed Ye Xuan, Shangguan Luoyun would still speak up for Ye Xuan.

Even if Ye Xuan wanted to leave, he would not be able to.

Heh, he had not expected this plot crisis to be resolved so easily. What a delight.

When Cang Gu saw Shangguan Luoyun, he hurriedly clasped his hands. "Greetings, Palace Lord."

Shangguan Luoyun said indifferently, "Ye Xuan and Xu Chen are both rare geniuses. Even if someone has made a mistake, it is no great matter. They can be given a chance to turn over a new leaf."

Cang Gu was stunned. Hadn't the Palace Lord set this rule herself?

Why was the Palace Lord taking the initiative to go back on it today?

But naturally, he did not dare question Shangguan Luoyun, so he said, "Yes!"

Li Ruoling, Jiang Lan, and Jiang Hong also let out sighs of relief.

As long as Xu Chen was all right, they still wanted to spend more time with him.

Beside them, Ye Xuan was unwilling to accept it. "But Palace Lord, first place was taken by someone who cheated. I refuse to accept this."

Shangguan Luoyun frowned, a trace of disgust flashing through her eyes.

She had already said as much. It was obvious she did not want to discuss it any further, yet he still dared to speak?

Is my Chen someone you can talk about?

Just as she was about to rebuke him and defend Xu Chen, she suddenly glanced at Xu Chen.

Hm?

Wasn't this scoundrel already at the Mid-stage Third Rank? Why was Ye Xuan saying he had cheated?

Her anger instantly turned to joy. What a Chen'er—his strength had soared so quickly this time.

Thus, she smiled. "Xu Chen, show them your strength. No matter the result, both of you may remain at Jixia Academy."

Xu Chen thought it over. Given a villain's character, he should not act coy.

Besides, with Shangguan Luoyun here, he could erupt whenever he pleased.

Boom!

Thus, his entire body trembled. The next second, an aura of the Mid-stage Third Rank surged forth like stormy waves, spreading in every direction.

The moment those around him came into contact with it, their robes whipped violently and their hair flew wildly.

"Isn't this a genuine Mid-stage Third Rank?"

"His aura is so stable too, without the slightest hint of instability."

"This kind of spiritual energy can only come from someone who has been at the Mid-stage Third Rank for a long time. How could it be fake?"

For a moment, the Academy disciples spoke up one after another, endlessly astonished.

They had thought Xu Chen was at the Mid-stage Third Rank, but they had not expected him to be at such a stable Mid-stage Third Rank.

Given a little more time, he would likely break through to the Late-stage Third Rank.

Li Ruoling stared in astonishment. No, this did not match the original plot at all.

Since when had Xu Chen been at the Mid-stage Third Rank?

Could it be because of...

She instantly recalled the Human Spirit Pill and the Mystic Spirit Pill.

She understood. Then she lightly stomped her jade foot. He had actually made her worry so much—how hateful.

"How could this be..."

Ye Xuan felt as though his face had been slapped several times, burning hot with pain.

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

For a moment, his face turned deathly pale. He felt he had lost all face and wanted nothing more than to find a hole and crawl into it.

After Xu Chen released his aura, he found that the system did not issue a warning.

He breathed a sigh of relief. That was acceptable.

Sigh, if nothing unexpected happened in the future, he had better obediently be a green leaf.
