Chapter 17: Original Male Protagonist

As soon as day broke, there was a knock on her door.

"Xiao Yun, it's me." Gu Xian's gentle voice came from outside the door, "Are you awake?"

"Brother Xian, wait a moment."

Yun Shang stood up, straightened her dress and hair, and then went to open the door.

Gu Xian outside the door looked energetic and rosy-cheeked, and it was obvious that he had slept very well.

The Wuming Inn has a small backyard. Yun Shang and her friends didn't see Lao Meng in the front hall, so they came here to look for him.

Although the backyard is small, it is planted with flowers and plants, has a well, fish tank, and stone benches and chairs, making it look quite presentable.

Old Meng was sitting in a rattan chair holding a wine gourd. When he saw them coming, he ignored them and just drank by himself with a very comfortable look on his face.

"Good morning, Old Meng." Gu Xian greeted him with a smile.

"Go get some water and wash up." Old Meng raised his chin towards the well.

"Okay." Gu Xian rolled up his sleeves and went to the well.

After Gu Xian finished washing up, he stood aside and stretched his hands and feet.

Gu Xian asked her: "Are you going to see the transmission point today?"

"Of course we have to go!" After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Yun Shang felt more energetic. "We are going to the one in the west, right?"

"The one on the east side is surrounded by the Big Knife Shop. Whether you are teleporting to another place or just watching the fun, there is a fee for admission." Gu Xian said: "If you want to watch, you can only go to the west side."

"Are there many monks who activate the transmission formation every day?" Yun Shang felt like a curious elementary school student, full of questions.

"This isn't a place where great cultivators gather. Do you really think it's full of Jindan cultivators?" Gu Xian smiled. "The transmission array point to the west is only starts a few times a month, but the one controlled by Da Dao Xing starts every day. "

"It doesn't matter if I can't meet him, I just want to see what he's like." Yun Shang was slightly excited: "Let's go after breakfast."

The breakfast that Lao Meng makes is very simple, millet porridge with steamed bread, and some pickled vegetables.

The taste is just average as always.

Yun Shang's mind was completely focused on visiting the transmission array. She ate breakfast in a hurry and pulled Gu Xian out of the inn.

Huanxi Town in broad daylight looked very different from yesterday evening. The streets were wide, and most of the buildings were relatively exquisite. There were trees planted on both sides, and it was full of greenery. The planning was quite fresh.

Now that the sun has just half appeared, the streets are already bustling with people coming and going.

The shouts of the traveling peddlers, the bargaining between buyers and sellers in roadside shops, and the sounds of pedestrians and vehicles all come together to create a vivid picture.

Huanxi Town has two main roads, east, west, south and north, which divide the town into four neatly arranged parts.

Ordinary residents live in the southwest and southeast, while wealthy merchants and monks generally live in the northwest and northeast. The town's inns, restaurants and entertainment venues are all in this area.

Today, after Gu Xian introduced it to her, Yun Shang realized that the Wuming Inn was not far from the Big Knife Shop.

This Big Knife Sect is mixed up with the evil demons and heretics that are generally despised by cultivators, so they must not be good people. Yun Shang's aversion to the Big Knife Sect increased a bit.

…

Gu Xian took Yun Shang and walked through the busy streets towards the west.

There is a forest in the west, and the transmission array point is in that forest. It is said that it was built by a powerful man hundreds of years ago. Not long after he built two array points in this place, he ascended to heaven and became an immortal.

Later, for unknown reasons, the western formation point was still available for use as it was in the past, while the eastern formation was taken over by the Big Sword Gang.

Gu Xian and Yun Shang chatted as they walked, and soon they reached the outskirts of the forest.

The forest and the houses here are only separated by a road a few meters wide, but they seem like two different worlds.

One side is as quiet as a mountain, the other side is as noisy as the tide.

"This forest is so dense." Yun Shang stopped and said, "Looking at this green forest seems to calm my mood."

Gu Xian looked ahead with a gentle gaze, "Yes, it is said that the trees in this forest were also planted by that great master. Perhaps because of the immortal energy, they are more vibrant. It's strange to say, although I often pass by Huanxi Town and occasionally stay here, I seldom come here. Counting the time I came here with my master when I was a child, this is the second time."

"You are not a very curious person, I can see that." Yun Shang smiled and said, "Very calm."

"It should be said that I know very well that this place represents another world, and it is not something I can set foot in." Gu Xian took a deep breath, "But your previous words reminded me that nothing is absolute."

While Yun Shang and Gu Xian were talking, a few men came from behind. They looked like ordinary people and were excitedly discussing the transmission.

The topic of the array.

"Let's go. It is said that a Jindan master will activate the formation today. Let's go and see what's going on." Passerby A looked excited.

Passerby B continued, "This is the first time it's been activated this month."

"You said we are not monks, why are we so interested in this?" Passerby C asked puzzledly.

Passerby A showed a yearning look, "If I can't become an immortal in this lifetime, it would be good to meet some masters."

"Yep."

The other two responded, and then the three of them excitedly crossed the road and entered the woods.

Yun Shang and Gu Xian smiled at each other. It seemed that they were lucky as they could watch the live broadcast as soon as they arrived.

"Let's go too." Yun Shang was a little excited. She could actually witness with her own eyes those scenes that she had only seen in novels and on TV.

Gu Xian nodded, "Okay."

…

Only after entering the forest did Yun Shang discover that this place was a different world.

It turned out that there was a very large open space inside, and the trees were planted around this open space.

In the center of the open space, there is a round platform engraved with intricate patterns. There is no one on the platform yet, but there are already many people standing under the platform watching.

Among the onlookers were men and women, young and old, ordinary people and monks.

One of the men was particularly conspicuous in the crowd, and it was difficult for Yun Shang not to notice him.

This boy was tall and straight, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was extremely handsome. Although he was wearing a coarse cloth shorts, it was still difficult to hide his superior figure and temperament. Standing there, he was shining like a firefly in the dark, completely different from the other people around him.

- All that's missing is five big words engraved on his face: I am the leading actor.

Yun Shang was a little confused. She had been busy escaping for life for so many days, and she actually forgot about the hero in novel!

With a little recollection, she could remember that in the book, there was indeed a plot where the hero came to Huanxi Town.

This handsome guy is called Luo Yunxiao, a man whose name is so domineering and like a leading man.

He is a typical grassroots counterattack male protagonist. He met the female protagonist when they were young. The two of them became disciples and practiced Taoism together. After going through many things, they gradually understood each other and fell in love.

The male protagonist really doesn't have interactions with original owner as she's just passerby cannon fodder. It was good like that.

In fact, the best way is to have no interaction with him and just go your separate ways.
