Shen Yimian deeply doubts whether Xie Lu, the AI, can be a good male lead.

After parting with Xie Lu in the outer hall, Shen Yimian stopped in front of the mountain gate for a long time, turned a corner and went to Xianyue Peak.

This was his first time here. Xianyue Peak was obviously several times larger than their Zuo Lingfeng. Although Jingshui was just a real person, the palace and halls were really grand.

As soon as we entered the mountain gate, a little boy came to greet us earnestly, "Who are you looking for, brother?"

Shen Yimian raised his eyebrows. He had never received such preferential treatment in other people's homes before. He lowered his eyes and looked, then he remembered that he was wearing a ground-level Taoist robe today, and suddenly it became clear to him.

"I'm looking for Zuo Yan."

Hearing this, the little boy's expression suddenly became more complicated, "Zuo Yan"

Shen Yimian noticed something was wrong and frowned, "What's wrong with him?"

The little boy quickly shook his head and said, "Brother, please follow me."

Under the guidance of the little boy, Shen Yimian came to Zuo Yan's residence, which was a dormitory for many disciples, and the room where Zuo Yan lived was the most remote one.

"Senior Brother Zuo, a senior brother is here to see you."

The little boy only took him to the door and then quickly left.

Along the way, the disciples of Xianyue Peak all cast their eyes towards Shen Yimian, all of them wondering who this Earth-level disciple was looking for.

Seeing Shen Yimian stop in front of Zuo Yan's door, everyone's expression became a little subtle.

Shen Yimian naturally noticed their changes. He had a bad feeling in his heart and pushed the door open. Sure enough, he saw Zuo Yan lying on the couch with bruises all over his body.

"Junior brother!"

He walked to the bed in astonishment. The bloodstains on the man's body were even more shocking. "Who hit you?"

Zuo Yan opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, and seeing Shen Yimian, he quickly climbed up from the couch. Shen Yimian came forward to support him, "Brother, why are you here..."

Shen Yimian frowned, "I originally wanted to see you for something, but now...what's wrong with you?"

Zuo Yan looked at him and chuckled softly, "Nothing's wrong, I just said something wrong in front of the headmaster last time and got punished by my master."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yimian suddenly remembered that Zuo Yan had indeed said good things about him at that time. He didn't expect that the elder in charge actually ordered someone to relay these words to Master Jingshui.

He was filled with rage. "Why did he hit you? It was their fault in the first place. You were just telling the truth. Master Jingshui is too ruthless!"

Hearing this, Zuo Yan quickly reached out and covered his lips, "Brother, be careful with your words."

Shen Yimian felt sour in her heart, and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I got you into trouble."

Zuo Yan shook his head, his eyes dark. "No, Master didn't like me in the first place. Ji Wenxiao tried to force me to practice dual cultivation several times, and when I refused, he became angry and said a lot of bad things about me in front of Master."

Shen Yimian clenched his fists and said viciously, "Law Xie should have beaten him to death back then."

Hearing him mention Xie Lu, Zuo Yan's expression became a little subtle. "Senior Brother was able to return safely from the Heavenly Rank mission and even reached the Earth Rank. This must be due to the contribution of Junior Brother Xie."

"He really helped me a lot." Shen Yimian paused, took out the thousand-year-old locust flower honey that Xie Lu gave him from his arms, and handed it to Zuo Yan. "This thing is from Xie Lu. If you drink it, it may be good for your injury. Just think of it as a gift to pay tribute to the Buddha, and it also fulfills my apology."

Zuo Yan didn't know what he gave, but he knew it must be something good. He didn't accept it, but his bright eyes looked at Shen Yimian steadily, "I won't accept anything. As long as you remember my kindness and come to visit me often, that's all I need."

Shen Yimian forcefully stuffed the nectar into his palm and whispered, "I will come, and you must accept the things."

Zuo Yan had no choice but to accept the offer and asked, "Brother, what do you want to see me about?"

Shen Yimian remembered the purpose of his visit, coughed dryly, and asked, "I want to ask, among the new disciples of your Xianyue Peak this year, are there any sisters who are particularly outstanding in appearance and talent?"

Hearing this, Zuo Yan's smile cooled, "Brother, how did you know that there is indeed a Heavenly Rank Junior Sister this year, whose appearance is breathtakingly beautiful?"

Junior sister of heavenly rank!

Shen Yimian's eyes lit up. This was almost the same level as Xie Lu's. It was indeed the configuration of the heroine.

"That's right, that's right..." Shen Yimian muttered a few words, and then asked curiously, "What's her name? Does she have a crush on someone?"

He was so excited that he didn't notice Zuo Yan's increasingly cold eyes. "Her name is Su Yuning. As for her crush, I don't know. Could it be that Senior Brother knows her?"

Shen Yimian repeatedly savored the name of the heroine and said casually, "I don't know her, I'm just a little curious."

Zuo Yan looked away in annoyance, "Brother, it's better not to have any ideas about her. She's not the type to get along with easily."

Hearing this, Shen Yimian subconsciously denied it, "I didn't have any intentions towards her, don't talk nonsense, I definitely didn't!"

Since his life was at stake, Shen Yimian didn't dare to provoke Su Yuning at all.

But when his fierce words fell into Zuo Yan's ears, it seemed that his attempt to cover up his crime only made it more obvious.

It is well known that the fox clan is lustful and sexual.

Zuo Yan's fingers, hidden within the soft blanket, slowly curled up and he whispered, "If there's nothing else, please come back another day, Senior Brother. I'm a little tired today."

Shen Yimian nodded and said with great concern, "Okay, I'll come to see you tomorrow. Remember to drink the food. It's good for your health."

Zuo Yan pursed his lips until Shen Yimian left and the door closed.

He got up from the bed, walked to the window and stared at Shen Yimian's back as he left. His movements didn't look like those of a seriously injured person at all.

Zuo Yan stroked the small porcelain bottle in his palm, which seemed to still retain Shen Yimian's body temperature. He was distracted for a moment, and suddenly heard the timid voice of a little boy coming from outside the door. It was obvious that he was very scared of Zuo Yan.

"Senior Brother Zuo, another senior brother wants to see you."

Hearing this, Zuo Yan seemed to have expected this. He placed the porcelain bottle inside his shirt and said calmly, "Please ask him to come in."

The door was slowly pushed open, and the person who came in was wearing a snow-white Taoist robe, with a tall and graceful figure and a calm expression. It was Xie Lu.

Zuo Yan stood by the window without looking back, "What's going on?"

The tone is polite but distant.

Xie Lu took out a bunch of camellias from his storage ring and placed them on the table, along with a sandalwood brocade box. "I brought you a gift after returning from a mission."

Hearing this, Zuo Yan finally turned around and said with no interest, "Why would I do such a thing? Besides, I've already received the gift."

He reached out and took out the small porcelain bottle from his arms, his tone slightly mocking, "Your senior brother just gave it to me."

Xie Lu frowned slightly and whispered, "Give it back to him."

"He insisted on giving it to me." Zuo Yan raised his eyebrows, "How could I not accept it?"

Xie Lu looked at him noncommittally for a long time, then said, "You don't have to deliberately get close to him. He will like you no matter what."

Shen Yimian will fall in love with Zuo Yan, snatch Zuo Yan, his "fiancée", away, and take away all the magic weapons and opportunities from Xie Lu.

This is how it's written in the plot, and there will never be any changes.

Zuo Yan smiled and shrugged, "It's fun to have some free time."

Ever since he learned from Xie Lu that Shen Yimian would take advantage of him and pursue him in every possible way, he has become interested in this Senior Brother Shen.

But after observing for a few days, he found that it was different from what Xie Lu said. Shen Yimian did not look like a person who would take things by force. Instead, he looked like a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by anyone.

He approached Shen Yimian specifically during the apprenticeship ceremony just to test Shen Yimian's reaction.

However, Shen Yimian didn't seem to like him, nor did she have any intention of framing Xie Lu.

So, he changed his approach and wanted to help Shen Yimian in times of trouble when the person in charge was in trouble. However, Shen Yimian not only did not fall in love with him, but also told him clearly that she did not like men.

Zuo Yan had no choice but to perform a trick of self-torture, and this time Shen Yimian was really moved.

"Shen Yimian is a willing person." Zuo Yan pinched the small porcelain bottle and smiled meaningfully, "However, don't come to me so often in the future, so as not to be discovered by him."

Xie Lu looked at him calmly and said, "That's exactly what I meant. I came here this time to tell you about this."

Zuo Yan nodded slightly, then raised his hand and pointed to the door, his intention to see the guest off was obvious.

Although he and Xie Lu had some affection for each other due to their engagement when they were young, many years had passed and he had been tortured for a long time in Yanshan, and had long forgotten that insignificant affection.

But the marriage involves two families, so he can't cancel it easily.

Xie Lu understood what he meant and was about to turn around and leave, but he suddenly remembered something and turned back and said, "I want to remind you that you can't fall in love with him."

It is not uncommon for the protagonist to fall in love with a time traveler, so he needs to take precautions in advance.

Zuo Yan's expression froze after he finished speaking. After a while, he looked up at him as if he found it a little funny. "Are you crazy or am I? How could I fall in love with a fox demon?"

Xie Lu looked at him quietly for a while, not knowing whether he believed it or not, then turned and left.

*

Zuo Lingfeng and Shen Yimian received a letter as soon as they returned.

He unfolded it and saw that it clearly stated that he should report to the main hall early the next morning.

Yes, he is now a ground-level disciple and will go to the main peak to attend classes in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Yimian couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The Earth-level and Heaven-level students would attend classes together, and by then all the students would be gifted. He, a loser, would definitely be embarrassed.

Another thing is that he will meet the heroine Su Yuning. What if Xie Lu misunderstands him?

Oh yes, Xie Lu is here too, so it’s okay.

Shen Yimian didn't sleep well that night, his mind was full of scenes of being humiliated by the Heaven-Rank and Earth-Rank disciples.

The next morning, he waited in front of Lawyer Xie's room.

Xie Lu opened the door and saw that it was him. He did not look surprised. His snow-white Taoist robe was spotless and he was well dressed.

"morning."

Shen Yimian said nervously, "Today is the first time we go to the main hall to attend class. Let's sit together."

"Of course." Xie Lu looked at the dark green under his eyes and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm here."

Shen Yimian nodded, still a little worried.

The two of them rode a crane to the Qinghong Palace on the main peak. At first glance, they saw all the disciples of the Tiandi level wearing black and white Taoist robes.

These people are the most outstanding talents in the entire Yanshan.

Shen Yimian followed behind Xie Lu, carefully reducing his presence to the minimum.

However, things don't always go as planned.

They hadn't taken two steps when they were stopped.

"Thank you, Lu." The voice was indifferent and arrogant.

Shen Yimian's heart skipped a beat and he looked up. The other person turned out to be a cold and stunning beauty.

She was wearing a snow-white Taoist robe, which made her skin look like white cream and as beautiful as a fairy.

Even Shen Yimian, who had seen countless beauties, was still mesmerized for a while.

It looks very nice.

Xie Lu blocked Shen Yimian's sight without leaving any trace, and said calmly, "Su Yuning, what's the matter?"

His voice was like a bucket of cold water, bringing Shen Yimian back to his senses.

Who is Su Yunning

The protagonist's fiancée
