He Had Someone Else's Script

Xu Ziqing was one of the four main characters of Borrowed Sword.

He was less than 1.7 meters tall and had a baby face that made him look rather young. His features were exceptionally delicate.

At this moment, his face had flushed slightly from anxiety. With the rosy hue coloring his cheeks, he looked even more refined—so delicate and vivid that he seemed almost unreal.

The four people from the Patrol Office had him pinned down firmly. No matter how he explained himself, they refused to let him pass and kept interrogating him.

One of them even suggested that they stop wasting their breath on him and drag him back first.

"It'll be midnight soon." Xu Ziqing's right hand tightened slightly around the umbrella handle.

He didn't want to miss such a great opportunity.

A few days ago, he had encountered a Storyteller.

The man had told him that at midnight tonight, he should go to Biyou Meadow at the foot of Wumeng Mountain. Someone would come to receive him and guide him into the Dao Sect!

After saying this, the ordinary-looking Storyteller had vanished without a trace.

There was no doubt about it—he was a mighty cultivator!

And as a citizen of the Mirror Kingdom, who wouldn't yearn for the Dao Sect?

It was one of the Four Great Sects of the Eastern Continent's Mirror Kingdom, and had once even been the foremost among the Four Great Sects!

What was more, the legendary sword was also in the Dao Sect!

Therefore, Xu Ziqing had spent the past few days rushing along the road, trekking through hardship and suffering terribly.

Although torrential rain was pouring down tonight, it did nothing to dampen the fervor in his heart.

"I'm going to join the Dao Sect! I'm going to practice swordsmanship and become a Sword Cultivator!"

The Storyteller had instructed him not to arrive at Biyou Meadow at the foot of Wumeng Mountain too early—at most, an incense stick ahead of time—but he absolutely couldn't be late. Xu Ziqing had thus been carefully timing his journey.

"Opportunities depend on the right time and circumstances. I understand that." Xu Ziqing felt that he understood it perfectly.

The problem was that he couldn't figure out why he would run into people from the Patrol Office in the middle of the night.

Midnight was almost here! Midnight!

And judging from their earlier conversation, one of their colleagues from the Patrol Office—someone they apparently didn't like very much—had just been killed in this dense forest tonight?

"Which bastard would commit murder on a rainy night like this?" Xu Ziqing, afraid of missing his opportunity, instantly came to hate the culprit.

Although the Imperial Court of the Mirror Kingdom was weak and the Four Great Sects controlled the Eastern Continent, no matter how weak the court was, it was still the Imperial Court!

How dare someone kill people from the Patrol Office?

Was there no law left in this world!?

Time passed second by second, and all Xu Ziqing wanted now was to get away.

In the end, after one of them gave him a hint, Xu Ziqing handed over every last coin on him. Only then did they let him pass.

The delicate-looking youth carried his umbrella and walked a few steps forward before hearing the four men behind him chatting without the slightest restraint.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. That pale-faced pretty boy with such tender skin—Xue Hu will definitely like him." One of them spoke, then let out two lecherous chuckles.

"Then why did you let him go? Xue Hu likes that sort of thing. Wouldn't that make him even more suspicious?" another man demanded in a low voice.

"It definitely wasn't him. I went over there to take a look just now. Most of the footprints had been washed away by the heavy rain, but one footprint was very deep. He probably had planted his foot heavily as he moved forward, leaving that mark. It was much bigger than his shoes."

"Then why did you—"

"It's the middle of the night, the rain is coming down like hell, and the one who died was that dog Xue Hu. We couldn't exactly make the trip for nothing." The man tossed the money pouch in his hand.

"Haha! Hahahaha!" The four men laughed together, utterly unrestrained.

Xu Ziqing strode forward, gritting his teeth in fury. His right hand tightened even more around the umbrella handle.

"Damn the Imperial Court!" he cursed inwardly.

"Good riddance to the people from the Patrol Office! They deserved to die!"

Xu Ziqing began walking faster and faster.

Only after he had gone some distance did he start sprinting ahead. By the time he reached the back, he had thrown away his umbrella as well.

The reason Xu Ziqing hadn't immediately run for it was that he feared those Patrol Office bastards would become suspicious of him again and truly take him back for questioning.

"I'll make it. I have to make it!" Xu Ziqing ran faster and faster, giving it everything he had.

When he reached the largest tree in Biyou Meadow, there was still a tiny bit of time left before midnight.

"I'm not late. I'm not late." He panted heavily, his face slightly pale and his entire body soaked through.

"When midnight arrives, cultivators will come to receive me, right?" His heart burned with anticipation.

The unwilling youth swore at Biyou Meadow that he would definitely join the Dao Sect.

Meanwhile, the scheming man in the sky was speechless. I really never intended to join the Dao Sect.

Chu Huai Xu's identity was currently unclear. He would rather go to Spring Autumn Mountain, which was famous for being full of perverts among the Four Great Sects, than go to the Dao Sect.

When he had played Borrowed Sword, his sect had been Spring Autumn Mountain.

Although there were many perverts there, he had still thrived. He had even occasionally wondered whether he might be a latent pervert himself.

"The same as one of the Four Great Sects, Spring Autumn Mountain isn't weaker than the Dao Sect."

"Besides, I'm more familiar with it. I can seize many of the opportunities there."

"Looking at its prospects, the only drawback is that both of the Eastern Continent's World Protagonists are in the Dao Sect."

The players had also discussed this on the Forum. From that, it was clear that in the future storyline, the Dao Sect would probably reclaim its position as the foremost of the Four Great Sects.

The long-legged beauty before him was Han Shuangjiang. If he hugged her beautiful legs, she could indeed carry him to victory.

At that moment, a System prompt sound rang in his ears: "Ding! You have successfully escaped the pursuit of the Patrol Office. Mission complete. You have received 100 Experience Points."

Chu Huai Xu was flying through the air at the time and felt extremely exasperated. "I'm already flying this high. Of course I've fucking escaped!"

He felt that the Mission System was ridiculously stupid and began to somewhat miss the AI Customer Service he had trained into such a flirtatious state.

Besides that, he had secretly observed Li Chunsong and Han Shuangjiang just now, using them to determine whether the System prompt sound could be heard only by him.

After confirming this, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"This is transmigration, after all. Things are definitely different from when I was playing the game. Better safe than sorry." Chu Huai Xu thought to himself.

When he played games, his operations had always been flashy, but deep down, he was actually a cautious and meticulous person.

In fact, if he hadn't been cautious and thorough enough, this virtual male model wouldn't have been able to move among all those female clients.

He had even dared to accept a job from the Twin Sisters, and had managed both relationships perfectly.

After all, if you loved someone, you had to love everything about her—including her sister.

At that moment, Chu Huai Xu seriously suspected that Li Chunsong had misunderstood something.

"That leaked post said that Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing were brought back to the Dao Sect by Li Chunsong together."

"Together, together, together." Chu Huai Xu began mulling over those two words, looking at Han Shuangjiang beside him once more.

An ominous premonition began to form in his heart, along with a vague suspicion.

"Oh no! I've become a World Protagonist!"

Chu Huai Xu suspected that he had ended up with someone else's script.

"I can only take things one step at a time." He thought about it.

He just didn't know where Xu Ziqing was now or what he was doing.

A deep weariness began to descend, sweeping through his entire body.

The sudden transmigration had already left him unsettled, and he felt no sense of belonging to this entire world.

Then came everything that had happened in the rainy night, one incident after another.

Fortunately, he had always been bold yet careful, so he didn't feel too helpless. He was merely tired.

"Anyway, I didn't tell you anything. I only answered when you asked my name. If something goes wrong, that's your responsibility." Chu Huai Xu looked at Li Chunsong's back in the air ahead and thought to himself.

At this moment, he only hoped that everything was a beautiful misunderstanding rather than a terrible turn of events.

He had even started to give up and let things take their course.

His identity was definitely problematic anyway. According to Xue Hu, his purpose in coming here was to infiltrate the Dao Sect.

"Then haven't I successfully infiltrated it already?"

There were no absolutely optimistic people in this world, only people who were good enough at looking on the bright side.

The Dao Sect was located in a place called Mountain Beyond Mountain. This wasn't the name of a single mountain, but a general term for many mountains.

Mountain Beyond Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist. The clouds and mist were actually the Mountain Protection Array, which was said to be impossible to force open even by an expert of the Eighth Realm.

Li Chunsong wore an Elder's Token at his waist, so he could naturally bring people in and out freely.

The three of them descended in front of a courtyard on the Outer Mountain.
