If he were to snatch the items belonging to the protagonist, wouldn't the plot collapse even further?
Holy crap, it would be better to refuse.
Just as Xu Chen was about to refuse, a dainty laugh drifted over: "Yo, so many people here. Little Xu Chen, why not follow your big sister here instead?"
Xu Chen was stunned. There's another woman?
He looked up and discovered that, at some point, a woman dressed in red had approached, her lips painted a fiery shade, walking with a charming gait.
Her figure was exceptional, and her bosom was vast, as if it were an endless ocean with no boundary in sight.
Wrapped around her waist was a Crimson Fire Rope, her signature weapon capable of taking lives from a distance.
Those who didn't know her might think she was wanton.
In reality, that was not the case; she was also a Female Lead and remained chaste.
In the Original Text, she was naturally waiting for the protagonist Ye Xuan.
Her name was Chi Lian, Dean of the Women's Academy. She cultivated fire-attribute techniques, making her a perfect match for Ye Xuan.
Xu Chen clicked his tongue. Holy crap, this won't collapse too, will it?
Chi Lian walked to Xu Chen's side, surrounded by a fragrant scent: "Yo, this kid is quite Handsome. Not bad, I've taken a liking to him."
Shangguan Luoyun snorted coldly: "Is it your turn to speak here?"
Xu Chen curled his lips. There was a secret others didn't know, but he did.
That was that Chi Lian was Shangguan Luoyun's own younger sister, born of the same mother.
However, the two were somewhat hostile; they were like sisters, yet like enemies.
Because Chi Lian cultivated demonic techniques and flirted with everyone she met.
If it weren't for the fact that she was her own sister and had promised Shangguan Luoyun not to cause trouble, Shangguan Luoyun would have chased Chi Lian away long ago.
Chi Lian smiled sweetly: "Could it be that big sister has also taken a fancy to Xu Chen?"
Shangguan Luoyun said indifferently: "A talent seen once in a century. What, as the Palace Lord, am I not allowed to take on a disciple?"
Chi Lian laughed until her body heaved: "Yo, of course you can, but I spoke first. Is the Palace Lord trying to snatch a man from me?"
Shangguan Luoyun cursed Chi Lian as a harlot in her heart. Knowing such things in one's mind was one thing, but saying them out loud was another.
Damn it, how was she supposed to respond to this now?
The surrounding elders and disciples of Jixia Academy were stunned. The Dean was actually competing with the Palace Lord, and it was between two women, no less.
Those who knew what was happening understood they were fighting over a disciple.
Those who didn't might have thought they were fighting over a husband.
Shangguan Luoyun said coldly: "Let Xu Chen choose for himself; neither you nor I can dictate that."
As things stood, with everyone watching, she couldn't force him to be her disciple.
She only hoped that Xu Chen would choose her side.
That way, she would have a sufficient reason to protect Xu Chen.
Chi Lian laughed charmingly: "Little Xu Chen, between the Palace Lord and me, who do you think is better?"
As she spoke, she revealed her own advantages, pressing toward Xu Chen like a giant wave.
Xu Chen gasped; this was too ferocious.
Although Shangguan Luoyun had a more refined temperament, in this specific department, it was truly difficult to compete with Chi Lian.
Without exaggeration, in this regard, Chi Lian was absolutely the number one Female Lead of the Original Text; the others truly couldn't compare.
He just didn't understand, what did Chi Lian want with him?
In the Original Text, the two of them didn't seem to have any connection.
Chi Lian looked at Xu Chen, her eyes complex.
In her past life, there was little connection, but she had almost been defiled by a villain in that life, and it was Xu Chen who saved her.
Over ninety-nine lives, Xu Chen had saved her ninety-nine times.
Ye Xuan, on the other hand, had numerous Female Leads, and the only reason he took a fancy to her was merely because of her beauty.
She had always found it disgusting. In this life, let her be the one to protect Xu Chen.
No one would be able to harm a single hair on Xu Chen's head under her watch.
Finally, after much thought, Xu Chen spoke up: "I, choose..."
Everyone held their breath. Who would he choose?
PS: Seeking all kinds of stats, there are too few! Evaluation tickets are the lowest, so please cast some, big bosses.
"I, choose, Body Cultivation Dean, Senior Han Di."
Under the gaze of the crowd, Xu Chen said indifferently.
He felt that staying away from the Female Lead was the only way to ensure the plot progressed properly.
The Female Lead should be looking for the protagonist; he just wanted to walk through the plot in a low-key, steady manner.
Han Di laughed heartily: "Hahaha, good! From now on, you shall follow this Dean and learn the path of the physical body."
"This Dean guarantees that if you can blast someone away with one punch now, you will be able to do the same in the future."
"Even crushing an enemy's physical body and soul with a single punch will be a trivial matter."
Xu Chen nodded. To be honest, he was quite interested in the path of the physical body.
In his past life, he had also joined the Body Dao Academy and cultivated his physical body.
So in a way, this was still following the original plot, only his Master was a bit more formidable.
He cupped his hands toward Chi Lian, Shangguan Luoyun, and the others: "Many thanks to you Elders for your kindness."
Chi Lian said happily: "As long as you like it."
Shangguan Luoyun was unwilling to give up: "Are you sure? This Palace Master is the Head of Jixia Academy; whether it be resources or power, I have the most."
She was getting anxious. Why wouldn't this wretch choose her?
I want to protect you, hurry up and change your mind! How infuriating.
Xu Chen pondered whether Shangguan Luoyun was truly the mastermind behind the scenes, the one pulling the strings of Li Ruoling?
Otherwise, why was she in such a rush?
Tsk, that makes it even more important not to get close to her. Stay away, I must stay away.
Xu Chen nodded: "I am sure, Palace Master, there is no need to say more."
Big sister, you are the Female Lead! Go and take in Ye Xuan!
I am just a villain destined to deal with Ye Xuan in the future, why are you bothering with me?
Shangguan Luoyun snorted inwardly, feeling somewhat ashamed and angry. I've gone this far, and you still ignore me?
Fine, if you won't pay attention to me, this Palace Master is angry. You'll see, you stinky man.
She flicked her sleeves coldly: "Since that is the case, then so be it."
Chi Lian said cheerfully: "Then I suppose I'll drop it too, but Xu Chen, this big sister will definitely come to visit you often, okay?"
Xu Chen felt a headache coming on. Don't, please don't visit me.
I just want to finish the plot in peace, please just leave already.
There were already three Female Leads pestering him; if another one came, how was he supposed to live?
Han Di patted Xu Chen on the shoulder and said: "Hahaha, kid, aside from the position of Young Headmaster, which I cannot give you, everything else is yours for the taking."
The crowd secretly gasped. Was Han Di really being this generous?
It seemed he held Xu Chen in extremely high regard!
This was the first time they had ever seen Dean Han Di treat a disciple like this.
Upon hearing this, Chi Lian and Shangguan Luoyun felt a little more at ease.
Their original intention was always to ensure Xu Chen had a better life.
However, Shangguan Luoyun was still angry and had no intention of forgiving Xu Chen for the time being.
Standing to the side, Ye Xuan felt somewhat resentful.
Damn it, I have Dual Cultivation of Alchemy and Martial Arts, why isn't anyone asking about me?
Could it be that I was abandoned just because of a minor issue with my moral character?
In the face of strength, moral character is worth nothing, isn't it?
Therefore, he stepped forward directly and cupped his hands toward the many seniors: "Esteemed seniors, I am at the Early-stage Third Rank and also a Third Rank Alchemist. Might I catch the eyes of you seniors?"
