Xiao Cheng was also momentarily stunned, then his heart abruptly sank!
That woman just addressed Lin Xiao as Eldest Senior Brother and called herself Weiwei...
These three words suddenly sprang to his mind. Xiao Cheng's face turned ashen; he couldn't maintain his composure any longer!
Although when he transmigrated, the original owner of the body had already become a Daoist of the Kunlun Sect, the fusion of memories made him experience the original owner's tragic past as if it were his own, a pain that cut him to the quick.
He clearly remembered that day, amidst heavy snowfall, wearing only thin, inadequate clothing, clutching a marriage contract, kneeling before the Chu Family gates, pleading for them to honor the marriage agreement!
But he was ruthlessly beaten out with clubs by the Chu Family members, the marriage contract torn up on the spot, his dignity utterly shattered!
"Fortune's wheel is ever-turning; thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. Never scorn a youth for his poverty!"
Back then, Xiao Cheng, beaten to within an inch of his life, had forced those words out through gritted teeth!
And now, having transmigrated with a system and armed with exceptional abilities, it was time to fulfill that blood oath!
Although this Lin Xiao's cultivation level seems slightly higher than mine, with the trump cards I've accumulated, it wouldn't be difficult to crush him despite the difference in level.
After all, even if this guy deviated from the original script and took down Ye Chen, his status is still just that of a minion! I, the noble transmigrator, am the true protagonist of this new era!
At this thought, Xiao Cheng's confidence swelled. However, adhering to his consistent principle of "Pragmatic Cultivation," he didn't show his hand directly. Instead, he planned to first probe the enemy's true strength.
Just as the white-haired girl, treating everyone else as if they were air, strode straight towards Lin Xiao on her slender, fair legs, Xiao Cheng decisively summoned his system.
"System, scan target—Chu Youwei!"
Target parameters generated!
Affection (towards Host): 0% (Completely indifferent, regards him as an ant)
Loved ones and interests: Eldest Senior Brother Lin Xiao (Affection 300%), kissing Eldest Senior Brother, holding hands with Eldest Senior Brother, playing the zither for Eldest Senior Brother, doing... (click for details)
Personality Shadow/Weakness: Afraid of Eldest Senior Brother being taken by others (sole shadow/weakness)

Is... is your system malfunctioning? These damn scan results are too outrageous!
Seeing the scan information appear in his mind, Xiao Cheng's scalp tingled, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
He could accept Chu Youwei currently liking the male protagonist, Ye Chen! After all, his purpose in coming to the Qinglan Sect this time was to seize all of Ye Chen's opportunities!
He absolutely could not accept the female lead from the original story falling out of love with Ye Chen, only to take a fancy to a minion who had nothing to do with the main plot!
She'd already moved on from Ye Chen to this nobody, and now he, the transmigrator, was supposed to take her on as 'third-hand goods'? What a fucking humiliation! How could he ever show his face?
Xiao Cheng was furious. His fists clenched so tightly his knuckles cracked.
His every move naturally caught Lin Xiao's attention.
"Weiwei, go back for now. Leave receiving our distinguished guests to your Eldest Senior Brother. After all, these fellow Daoists are here for me."
Lin Xiao also dismissed his surprise, stepped forward, and slipped an arm around Chu Youwei's slender waist. He didn't want his junior sister to be disgusted by this lowlife Xiao Cheng, a man doomed to die tomorrow, for even a second longer.
"Hmph! Leave? Where do you think you're going? Chu Youwei, take a good look at who I am!"
At this moment, a voice, booming like thunder and full of rage, echoed throughout the area.
The atmosphere instantly grew tense!
The crowd turned towards the sound and saw a handsome youth in a Purple Dragon Pattern Daoist Robe leap up, landing among the Qinglan Sect members!
It was none other than the Daoist of the Kunlun Sect—Xiao Cheng!
"Eldest Senior Brother, I'm sorry for startling you..."
"Leave this person to Weiwei."
"It'll only take a moment~"
Chu Youwei first smiled at Lin Xiao, as gentle as ever. Then, she turned to face the insufferably arrogant Xiao Cheng. "Daoist Xiao, setting aside the fact I've long since left the Chu Family, the humiliation and annulment you suffered at their hands has nothing to do with me. Even if I were still part of the Chu Family, a third-rate scoundrel like you? This Fairy wouldn't deign to spare you a second glance."
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Her tone was icy cold, her usually gentle and tranquil face now chillingly stern.
It turned out that ever since the major event of the Sword Tomb trial, the Heavenly Dao script in her mind had become vague. For many future events, she only had extremely sketchy outlines. However, for this particular segment, for this Daoist Xiao Cheng of the Kunlun Sect, the script provided clear and precise visions!
That was why, immediately after successfully cultivating her Demonic Technique, she had rushed over without stopping!
To personally settle the score with this man!
My heavens, Youwei's aura... how has it become so powerful? Or is it just... I haven't seen her in too long? Lin Xiao was momentarily taken aback, then belatedly remembered something!
Youwei joined the Qinglan Sect when she was very young. How would she know about Xiao Cheng and an engagement with her?
This confirms it! The girl's a transmigrator! Or... she can see the future script! Lin Xiao thought.
He was surprised, yet not entirely. After all, this suspicion had been in his mind for a long time.
I'll discuss this privately with Youwei later. For now, we need a united front. Let's deal with this toad Xiao Cheng first, Lin Xiao decided.
With a mere thought, his figure flashed and appeared in front of Chu Youwei.
