Potential Protagonist?

We stood at a walk way two meters away from one another; We were also the only ones around(Well except for Li Lian who was still somewhere hidden in my robes). We had entered a tunnel like pathway at some point and had almost made it out the other side when he had suddenly stopped.

The path of the tunnel felt slightly claustrophobic with a width that could probably only fit three men side to side before they started to be squished in by the walls.

"What do you mean I pass?"

The color of his eyes didn't seem affected by the shade of the tunnel and in fact it even glowed a golden hue for a second before it returned to it's original bright yellow.

"You have obtained the qualifications to become my friend."

"...Why are you making such a big deal out of this? Isn't it only natural that it doesn't matter?"

"Well, you're my first one, of course we have to do something about this!"

"...I'm your first friend? That sounds impossible, you don't seem that bad a guy. Besides You look like you're almost an adult, that's like at least eighteen years and you're telling me you've never had a friend until now?"

His eyes flicker between the bright yellow hue and golden hue every once in a while

"...No, Whenever I have had one about to begin the moment they learned about by background they broke our friendship with me and acted like we were strangers. Even worse then might of even start targeting me to harass.

For some reason even the other servant families seem to despise ours. I just don't know why and I've been seeking a friend, just a single one would be enough. As you've seen earlier on stage I had spoken about my wish to have a good relation with you.

I've done the similar actions for the past matches I've won and they have responded in kind. It is the moment I reveal my origins that their characters.. just suddenly change from a reasonable man I was bonding with to a man who only knows how to spout curses my way."

'That sounds stupid, why would people who lost to him and were becoming friends with him just do a complete 180 degree turn and start hating him because of one's background.

I mean I know that backgrounds are important in this world and that he is basically the bottom of the barrel here, but even other servant families are doing this? There must be something special about his family.

Wait a minute, an outcast who is hated by everyone in the starting stages of cultivation, is probably going to start being recognized from some sort of big event as a dark horse, and has a distinct feature about them, in this case the color in their eyes.

Is he a protagonist?! No, no that can't be can't be. How could I simply just meet someone like that and become their first friend at that? My luck isn't that good to run into a protagonist so early is it? Or would my luck be consider bad if I ran into one of them?'

As I finish my thoughts I notice his footsteps as he starts making his way over to me. His eyes are a completely golden hue as he stops half a meter in front of me.

He extends his hand and without breaking eye contact smiles his smile from earlier once more. "Let's introduce ourselves once more, my name is Chen Huang."

"Ip Cheng" I say grabbing ahold of his extended hand and shaking it before we continued our walk from before..

"So, Brother Ip what made you want to cultivate?"

'Should I tell him the truth? Well, I'll just leave out the important part.'

"I need to get stronger to demonstrate something and protect my place from collapsing from others."

"Huh, that's ..vague, but understandable. If you ever need help you may call upon me to assist you."

"I appreciate that brother Chen. Well I'm going back to my current residence until they call the disciples to be promoted."

He made a little surprised face when he heard that. "You're not going to continue watching the rest of the tournament brother Ip?"

"No, it's not like it's really going to affect me too much anyway if I miss the rest of it since I lost. Besides I'm still a bit hurt from that battle with you. Why shouldn't I just recuperate."

"I suppose it is your choice though, just make sure you don't miss the time when we all gather. Two days okay?"

"Alright, thanks for the reminder, see you then brother Chen."

After we said our goodbyes our paths diverged and we went separate ways as expected. I went back to the disciple quarters while he went back into the tournament area.

[Looks like you have a new friend, that's nice. You're finally starting to talk to others, now why don't you talk to me? ]

"Alright.. when I get back to my room, we can just talk there."

[Hehehe... Ok.]

'Hmm, I wonder why she started laughing. Well if she won't tell me it doesn't really matter.'

..

As I turned around to close the door behind me I saw a small black object fly out of my robes. When I turned around I expected her to be there sitting nearby or standing instead the place was as empty as I left it.

When I went over to my room and opened it I saw her sitting on my bed patting beside her for me to sit down in a simple robe.

"Now come and sit next to me"

Although still a little tired I comply to her request.

"From now on you will call me Big Sister Li got it? I heard you start calling people with a title, so you have to call me your big sister now. How does that sound?"

"You want me to call you big sister? Ok sure.. Big Sister Li how's that?"

"♥Kyaaa! Oh my, what a nice feeling! Say me name one more time.♥" I saw a little bit of drool at the corner of her lips and eyes filled with anticipation for me to jus say her name

'Is saying her name that euphoric to her?'

"Big Sister Li, are you ok?"

"♥Mmmmm I'm fine. Come here, let this Big Sister hug you!♥" She raised her arms up and reached towards me.

Before I could even respond her arms had already wrapped around me and started to embrace me. It was like the first time we met, I was held tightly in her arms as my head was being swallowed by her chest. At least this time I wasn't suffocating very much.

She lied down atop the bed while she still wrapped around me. I still tried a little to break free, but I was still a little hurt and probably couldn't do much even if I wasn't.

Angling my head up I saw her smiling at me as she look down at me. Drool was clearly visible leaking from a corn of her lips. Her eyes were slightly closed as she peered down at me.

"♥Why don't you sleep on me tonight? You can use my breasts as pillows while you lay on me, what do you say? Do you want to sleep on your Big Sister tonight?♥"

'Man she has really embraced that "Big Sister" title she gave herself. It's not even like I really have a choice in this matter. I feel like I'm in one of those "shota with his elder sister" comics right now. Struggling is meaningless so I stopped my attempt.'

"♥Fufufu~ Good boy, I think you deserve a reward!♥"
