Chapter 9: The Protagonist's Chance
Above the night sky, the stars are like a dream.
A meteor that emitted a faint light flew downward, and the location where it fell, impartially, was in the stream in front of Ye Xibai.
"......"
The meteor was extremely fast, rubbing against the air and emitting a piercing popping sound, as if it could pierce space and travel through time at any moment.
"Boom ......"
Finally, the rapidly falling meteor, with a scorching firelight, almost wiped Ye Xibai's face and smashed into the stream, making an earth-shattering sound.
The meteor entwined by the firelight fell in the stream, stirring up a thousand waves, and a breeze blew, splashing Ye Xibai and falling back into the stream.
Everything doesn't end there.
I saw that the stream, which had no waves, began to slowly surge, but in a blink of an eye, the stream boiled and a curling mist emerged.
The mist and the rich spiritual power of the clouds and streams are combined with each other, and the mist is like a fairyland.
After three breaths, the already boiling water of the stream gradually returned to normal, but the mist that could be steamed by the meteor did not dissipate, but was suspended above the stream, drifting around with the breeze.
Ye Xibai blinked his somewhat dull gaze, moved his stiff lips, swallowed his saliva, and said in a daze, "This...... Is it really a shooting star? or something ......?"
Before Ye Xibai could continue, several anxious voices mixed with footsteps came from behind, "Holy Son, Holy Son, are you okay?"
Qingliu and the two attendants hurriedly ran over, stopped three steps away from Ye Xibai, and after looking around, they didn't find anything abnormal, so they bowed respectfully and said again, "Holy Son, we heard the movement here, so we rushed over, is there a thief coming to Fuyun Xiaozhu again......?"
Ye Xibai, who was facing away from everyone and staring at Ye Xibai under the stream, did not wait for Qingliu to finish speaking, but took a deep breath, suppressed the rapidly beating heart, waved his hand, and said in a cold voice, "There are no thieves coming to Fuyun Xiaozhu, as for the movement you just heard...... That's the noise I make from my practice. ”
"The ??? of movement created by practice"
The three of them were dumbfounded, and they unconsciously remembered what their own Holy Son had done after waking up, and they couldn't help but have a strange thought in their hearts, "Isn't it, the Holy Son's cultivation has really broken through ???"
"Alright. Turning his head and looking at the three people in front of him, Ye Xibai said calmly, "It's getting late, you go back." Sleep when you should sleep, and practice when you should practice. ”
"Yes. ”
Leaving the mess behind, the three of them saluted again and retreated respectfully.
The three of them all felt that their own holy son had changed, whether it was their personality, or their heart, or ...... Attitude towards these people. Of course, this is the most important point, and as for the rest, they don't really care.
After sending the three of them away, Ye Xibai was ready to see if the things under the stream were like that.
According to the records in the novel, after Ye Xibai was bullied, he went to Zhuang Jiuqing (Lu Beiyou) for trouble, and Zhuang Jiuqing, who was severely taught a lesson, was thrown directly into the stream.
Because Zhuang Jiuqing was too seriously injured to move at all, he stayed downstream along the stream, and finally ran aground on the bank.
It was also Zhuang Jiuqing who had just run aground, and a meteor fell from the sky and landed in the stream.
Looking at the surface of the stream where the mist gradually dissipated, Ye Xibai's eyes showed excitement, and he muttered in a low voice, "If it was really that meteor, wouldn't I be able to ......?"
Thinking in his heart, Ye Xibai prepared to enter the stream to take a look.
However, before Ye Xibai could take a step, he felt a slight sound from behind, so he turned around and looked behind.
Looking at Ye Xibai, who turned around, Zhuang Jiuqing hurriedly saluted and said, "Holy Son." ”
"Hey. Looking at the pale Zhuang Jiuqing, Ye Xibai sighed secretly, shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself, "It seems that there are some things that are still reserved for the protagonist." ”
To be a supporting role, you must have the consciousness of being a supporting role, especially if you are a cannon fodder villain, then you must have this awareness.
In order not to provoke the protagonist, in order not to change the development of the plot, in order to live peacefully to the last chapter, in order to ...... Ye Xibai is ready to give up the big opportunity in front of him, or rather, return the opportunity that should belong to the protagonist to the protagonist.
"Hmm. Ye Xibai nodded, and then said in a cold voice, "Are you feeling better?"
"It's nothing big anymore. ”
Zhuang Jiuqing's voice was very floating and very light, as if as long as it was blown by the breeze, it was possible to fall.
"Don't do such self-righteous things in the future. Ye Xibai stared at Zhuang Jiuqing, there was a strange light in his eyes, and after a breath, his eyes returned to cold, indifferent words, "That Dao, do you think that I am not the opponent of that Wu Yuan, or do you think that I am just a waste saint son, and I still need the protection of you, a disciple of the Qi Refining Realm???"
Ye Xibai's voice was cold, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't have the slightest expression of emotion.
Feeling Ye Xibai's angry emotions, Zhuang Jiuqing bowed his head and saluted, "Jiuqing doesn't dare." Jiuqing just thinks that the life of the Holy Son is ...... than mine."
"Enough, I don't want to hear your explanation. Before Zhuang Jiuqing's words fell, Ye Xibai's cold voice came out again, "If you have done things in the future, don't be so reckless and harm others and yourself." ”
"I ......" Zhuang Jiuqing was about to say something, but after seeing Ye Xibai's cold expression, he immediately swallowed back the words in his heart and said, "Yes." ”
After taking a deep look at the obedient Zhuang Jiuqing, Ye Xibai turned his head and looked at the starry sky in the distance.
The temperature at night is not high, and the floating clouds are built between the mountains and rivers, so every time the breeze blows, you can feel a refreshing feeling.
The night breeze is gentle, and the coolness is heartwarming.
By the stream, two small teenagers stood side by side, letting the breeze raise their hair and clothes, and looking from afar, it was like a beautiful and floating landscape painting.
After a long time, Ye Xibai, who was staring at the stars, spoke, "You, why do you practice." ”
Zhuang Jiuqing's eyes flickered a few times as he stared at the starry sky before he said, "For revenge, and for the protection of the people you want to protect." ”
Zhuang Jiuqing said, and glanced at Ye Xibai intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Ye Xibai kept looking at the stars in the sky, the afterglow in the corner of his eyes all fell on Zhuang Jiuqing's body, and when Zhuang Jiuqing talked about revenge, there was no starry sky in Ye Xibai's eyes.
Ye Xibai noticed that when Zhuang Jiuqing talked about revenge, all eyes fell on him. This made Ye Xibai's heart twitch directly a few times, and an extremely bad premonition came to his heart, "Mom, it turns out that Zhuang Jiuqing really came to me for revenge." ”
Or...... I'll strike first now and kill Zhuang Jiuqing? Anyway, the current Zhuang Jiuqing hasn't grown up yet...... Otherwise, when Zhuang Jiuqing grows up, he will definitely kill me, and at that time, I may not even have a chance to resist.
No way...... Zhuang Jiuqing is the protagonist, as soon as I make a move, maybe the protagonist's protection mechanism will be triggered, and I was directly hit by lightning or hit by bricks...... And the protagonist will not die, but find a reason to destroy me.
No way...... If I don't kill the protagonist now, the protagonist will definitely kill me, so it's better to ...... Fight to the death, while your strength is still above the protagonist, kill the protagonist.
Countless thoughts and thoughts rushed into his mind, Ye Xibai sighed softly, and thousands of stars reappeared in his eyes.
That's right, Ye Xibai gave up the idea of taking the opportunity to kill the protagonist and replace it.
It's not because Ye Xibai is afraid of triggering the protagonist's protection mechanism, it's just because the protagonist didn't harm himself, at least ...... Not now.
What's more important is that Zhuang Jiuqing may not necessarily kill himself. You can't condemn an innocent person to death because of a novel that was robbed of a pit vest.
"Hey, let's try to have a good relationship with the protagonist. Secretly sighing to himself, Ye Xibai withdrew his gaze from the endless starry sky, turned to look at the stream, and said in a cold voice, "The enemy must be very strong." ”
Zhuang Jiuqing said without thinking, "Yes, it's very powerful." ”
"Then ......" Ye Xibai had the idea of committing suicide by throwing himself into the stream, but he couldn't show it, he just said indifferently, "You have to work hard." ”
Zhuang Jiuqing's eyes flashed with joy, and he bowed slightly to Ye Xibai, and said, "Thank you for the encouragement of the Holy Son, I will work hard, and I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Holy Son." ”
"When did I encourage you, when did I look forward to it?"
Ye Xibai complained bitterly in his heart.
"Well, I'll take it all by myself. Helplessly sneering in his heart, Ye Xibai slowly turned his head to look at Zhuang Jiuqing, and said in a cold voice, "You...... Can you think about it?"
Zhuang Jiuqing blurted out and said, "I think." ”
"Hmm. Ye Xibai nodded, stretched out his hand to the creek, and said, "Where...... There is an opportunity to become stronger. ”
Zhuang Jiuqing's gaze followed the direction of Ye Xibai's finger, his brows furrowed slightly, and he whispered, "An opportunity to become stronger?"
"Yes, an opportunity to become stronger. Ye Xibai nodded, and then added, "I just don't know, do you have this opportunity." ”
Looking at the creek that made a smart sound, Zhuang Jiuqing's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked with some confusion in his heart, "What opportunities are there in the creek to become stronger?"
Ye Xibai didn't say it directly, but withdrew his hand and said coldly, "I said it, that's an opportunity to become stronger, as for whether you can find that opportunity, it's your creation." ”
"The Holy Son won't lie to me. ”
Zhuang Jiuqing whispered, looked at the dark stream again, and after three breaths of silence, he walked towards the stream.
"I hope you'll be kind to me when you get the chance. Looking at Zhuang Jiuqing who got off the creek, Ye Xibai lay directly on the chair and muttered in a low voice: "Don't always think about looking for me for revenge." ”
