Su Yuan: I'm the Protagonist! (Seeking Follow-up Reads!!!)

"Grandpa, I…"

Chen Nuoyi was about to speak when the middle-aged man interrupted her directly.

"Nuoyi, I've seen everything you've been doing these past few days."

"I never imagined you'd fall so quickly after leaving the Chen Family. Not only are you not cultivating properly, but you're also hanging out with some brat every day after school!"

"Look at you, still acting like a Chen Family daughter after getting mixed up with someone like that! Come home with me right now."

Grandpa Chen said, filled with disappointment.

Su Yuan: "……"

Normally, after being insulted like this, shouldn't he retort with something like "Thirty years east, thirty years west, don't bully the young and poor"?

But why wasn't he angry at all? Why did he even feel a little guilty?

Was it because he had truly corrupted the granddaughter in just a few days, reaching a Saint Fall Degree of one hundred percent?

If that was the case, then what Grandpa Chen said seemed… completely correct?

Chen Nuoyi, however, was a little angry upon hearing this. She tilted her pretty face up, enduring the immense pressure from her elder, and said earnestly:

"I've learned a lot from Su Yuan. I don't think spending time with him is a form of corruption."

"And Grandpa, do you know? It's actually very difficult for ordinary people to make money. If I hadn't learned money-making techniques from Su Yuan, how could I have completely broken away from the Chen Family and become independent?"

The more the young girl spoke, the smoother she became, and by the end, her tone was firm and powerful:

"I won't go back to the Chen Family. I can live well on my own. Please leave, Grandpa."

Su Yuan, standing nearby, secretly gave Chen Nuoyi a thumbs-up.

Well said, as expected of the Righteous Path Saintess, my First Familiar.

But it was clear that Grandpa Chen wasn't going to let it go. He said impatiently:

"Nuoyi, I can indulge your temporary willfulness. Even if you want to be rebellious and independent, I won't stop you."

"But as a Chen Family daughter, there are things you must do. You must enroll in the Star River Dao Sect among the Ten Great Immortal Dao Academies for the college entrance examination."

Chen Nuoyi was slightly stunned, her delicate eyebrows furrowed. "Why?"

Grandpa Chen said calmly, "Li Zhengxing of the Li Family has already been unofficially accepted by the Star River Dao Sect. The Li Family intends to form a marriage alliance with our Chen Family. After you two young people go to the Star River Dao Sect, you should cultivate your relationship."

He then glanced sideways at Su Yuan:

"In short, you can't keep hanging out with this disreputable brat anymore."

Su Yuan: "……"

Well, it's here, this cliché plot.

It's not enough for the elder to tear apart a couple who are already engaged, they have to throw in a rich young master from a powerful family as the main villain.

Heh, so the main quest is clear now, right? I have to be god-like before the college entrance exam, crush that prodigy from a powerful family named Li Zhengxing under my heel, and slap the faces of the Chen and Li families?

After I get into university, will the Chen and Li families, along with that brat Li Zhengxing, still harbor resentment and continue to suppress and target me through overt and covert means? And then will I, as a cheat, wipe out their entire clans?

But the Chen Family is Chen Nuoyi's own family after all, maybe they'll be redeemed midway.

As if! This kind of idiotic plotline was outdated ten thousand years ago!

Su Yuan felt he had nothing left to say.

Why didn't I awaken a complaint system? Then I'd be soaring in minutes!

And speaking of which, there hasn't been any romantic progress between me and Chen Nuoyi, right? We're clearly just a Conjugate Master-Disciple pair.

However, it's also possible for the male and female leads to have no relationship, only a few encounters due to some trivial matters, and then attract the hatred of the villain.

Still so cliché!

"I disagree!"

Chen Nuoyi was clearly very angry about this arrangement and protested loudly.

Grandpa Chen remained unmoved and said calmly:

"I will come again when you fill out your university applications."

With that, he directly closed the window of the Flying Boat, and the Flying Boat shot into the sky.

Only Chen Nuoyi and Su Yuan were left, bewildered in the wind.

Chen Nuoyi clenched her fists, silently gazing in the direction the black Flying Boat had departed. After a while, she softly said:

"This is another reason why I didn't want to go back to the Chen Family. Su Yuan, I'm sorry my grandpa spoke rudely to you just now. I apologize on his behalf."

Su Yuan shook his head and asked, "So what are your plans, Class Monitor? Are you going to apply to the Star River Dao Sect?"

Chen Nuoyi shook her head vigorously. "Absolutely not! I've only met Li Zhengxing a few times. Going to the Star River Dao Sect to cultivate a relationship with him is not within my plans."

Su Yuan spoke again, "Since that's the case, we should work even harder to improve ourselves."

"If I can get recruited by one of the other nine top immortal cultivation academies besides Star River University, perhaps I can finalize my university choice before your Grandpa Chen intervenes."

Chen Nuoyi was taken aback and turned to look at Su Yuan.

A touch of radiance gradually appeared in her slightly flushed, bright eyes, and a radiant smile suddenly bloomed:

"Su Yuan, you're right."

"What about you, Su Yuan? Have you thought about which of the Ten Great Top Immortal Cultivation Academies you want to apply to?"

Su Yuan thought for a moment and shook his head:

"I haven't decided yet, but Star River Dao Sect is definitely out."

What a joke. The rich young masters in novels are always super vengeful. Even if there's nothing between Chen Nuoyi and me, he'll definitely take it out on me.

Going to Star River Dao Sect would be asking for trouble, wouldn't it?

However, Chen Nuoyi clearly hadn't thought that far ahead. A hint of a misunderstanding seemed to surface, causing a slight blush to creep onto her face. She said sincerely, "Coach, please help me earn more money in the future. We'll both aim for the top ten together!"

Su Yuan didn't notice the subtle change in Chen Nuoyi's expression and was about to nod in agreement when suddenly, another sharp cry pierced the sky.

The next second, a luxurious Flying Boat, its hull covered in star emblems and streamlined in design, landed before them.

This Flying Boat was clearly not designed for luxury, but for performance, yet its price was undoubtedly no less than the Flying Boat Grandpa Chen had just taken.

The moment he saw this Flying Boat, Su Yuan vaguely guessed what was happening.

The next second, the Flying Boat's door vanished, and a tall, handsome young man dressed in opulent clothing emerged. His appearance immediately drew the attention of almost all the women around.

Su Yuan rolled his eyes.

No need to guess, this must be that Li Zhengxing.

Grandpa Chen just left, and the villainous young master shows up to stir up trouble immediately. Can he be any more impatient?

Just then, a crisp "ding-dong" sounded in Su Yuan's mind.

[It's finally happening?]

[The Righteous Path Prodigy, who loves the Saintess, discovers that the Saintess he cherishes so dearly has been secretly leaving the sect, staying out all night, and acting intimately with a man of unknown origin, even driving and humiliating him at his whim!]

["I'm already his woman, please stop bothering me!" The Righteous Path Prodigy even pictured the Saintess coldly saying these words to him.]

[For this reason, the Righteous Path Prodigy, who deeply pities the Saintess, has decided to take action to eliminate you, the Demon Lord, and rescue the Saintess from her deep suffering. As a generation's Devil Owl, how will you respond?]

[Demon Lord Mission Triggered]

[Mission: Tragic Prodigy (In Progress)]

[The Righteous Path Prodigy and the Devil Dao Magnate will finally engage in a world-shattering battle! Please completely defeat the Righteous Path Prodigy and keep the Saintess firmly in your grasp.]

[Mission Progress: Defeat the Righteous Path Prodigy (0/1)]

[Mission Reward: Fate Change * 1]

Su Yuan: "..."

Damn System, do you have to cause trouble at this specific moment?

And clearly, I'm the protagonist in this plot, while this rich young master is the villain?

How did you portray him as a tragic hero? You biased piece of trash!

While Su Yuan was mentally complaining, Li Zhengxing had already walked towards him and Chen Nuoyi.

Facing this uninvited guest, Chen Nuoyi became slightly nervous. She stared intently at the newcomer, subconsciously leaning closer to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan also grew vigilant.

Although I really don't want to get involved in this, it's a System mission, and I've been caught with Chen Nuoyi. It's too late to leave now.

However, the arrogant and brainless villainous young master Su Yuan had imagined did not appear.

After sizing up the two of them, Li Zhengxing's eyes lit up. He moved like a gust of wind and instantly appeared... in front of Su Yuan.

Before Su Yuan could react, Li Zhengxing excitedly grabbed his hand and exclaimed, "Are you Chen Nuoyi's boyfriend? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, nice to meet you! It's great to meet you!"

Su Yuan: "???"

Chen Nuoyi, who had been completely ignored: "???"
