The Villain Became the Protagonists’ Nightmare

Chapter 10:

However, Xiao Zhi’s current talent gave the Nalan family no hope.

Moreover, Nalan Yanran had passed the Xuanbing Sect’s test and became an inner disciple. Thus, she came today, using the prestige of the Xuanbing Sect, to annul the engagement.

If Xiao Lingfeng still couldn’t recognize Xiao Zhi as a protagonist after this incredibly familiar plot, then he would indeed be unworthy of the title of a transmigrator.

Wasn’t this just like the plot of a novel he had read in his youth about a protagonist who rose from poverty?

(In the setting, Xiao Lingfeng was originally born in the 21st century and transmigrated in the year 2080.)

Truthfully, he had long suspected Xiao Zhi might be the protagonist. However, this was the Martial God Continent, a setting completely different from that novel.

Moreover, Xiao Zhi hadn’t shown any connection to Earth. If he truly was a transmigrator, he wouldn’t have adapted to this life so quickly.

After all, when Xiao Lingfeng first transmigrated, he would often unintentionally use terms completely unfamiliar to the people of the Martial God Continent.

Yet Xiao Zhi never displayed such behavior. Therefore, although Xiao Lingfeng didn’t understand why Xiao Zhi suddenly couldn’t cultivate, he was almost certain that Xiao Zhi had no connection to that Xiao Yan.

But now, it seemed he had been too naive!

Nevertheless, now wasn’t the time for such thoughts.

He needed to meet this nephew he hadn’t seen in years.

Xiao Lingfeng walked past all the gathered Xiao family disciples and directly entered the conference hall.

As soon as he entered, he heard Nalan Yanran’s accusations.

“Uncle Xiao Zhan, this engagement was arranged by you and my father as close friends. My father agreed because he saw Xiao Zhi as an ambitious person.

But now Xiao Zhi has revealed his true nature, showing no ambition and becoming trash. I have been accepted as an inner disciple of the Xuanbing Sect and even taken Elder Kong Ying as my master. We are no longer suitable for each other.

Today, I bring this fourth-grade Breaking Strength Pill as a gesture of goodwill to maintain the friendship between our families. Uncle Xiao Zhan, don’t deceive yourself.”

Hearing Nalan Yanran’s words, Xiao Zhan’s face turned red with anger, and he wanted to kill her on the spot.

However, he had to consider the elder from the Xuanbing Sect, Kong Ying, who sat beside Nalan Yanran with his eyes closed, seemingly resting.

Just as Xiao Zhan felt helpless and the entire Xiao family felt humiliated, Xiao Zhi, the protagonist of this incident, stood up in fury.

“Nalan Yanran, you’ve gone too far! It was clearly your father who wanted to attach himself to our Xiao family and forced this engagement on me. Now you want to go back on your word, which I don’t oppose. But this engagement was arranged by our Xiao family, and it will be me, Xiao Zhi, who breaks it off!

Even if you beg me with ten bottles of Breaking Strength Pills, kneeling on the ground, I wouldn’t take you back.

Let me tell you, Nalan Yanran, thirty years of the east river, thirty…”

Just as Xiao Zhi was about to declare his well-known vow and set a three-year challenge to start his journey of triumph, a powerful pressure forced his remaining words back down his throat.

With the explosion of this aura, everyone present turned their attention to the entrance of the conference hall.

Even Kong Ying, who had appeared indifferent earlier, opened his eyes, because he felt that the owner of this aura was at the Martial Commander Realm, just like him.

Xiao Lingfeng entered the conference hall with a smile. “Since when did the Xiao family’s conference hall become so lively?”

Seeing their patriarch, the senior members of the Xiao family, who had been feeling aggrieved, all looked at him with hope. They believed only their imposing family head could resolve this situation.

“We greet the family patriarch.” The several Martial General Realm elders of the Xiao family bowed to Xiao Lingfeng.

“Alright, we are all family here, no need to be so formal. Stand up.” Xiao Lingfeng said with a smile.

He glanced at his first protagonist target, his nephew Xiao Zhi.

Just as described in that novel, Xiao Zhi had an ordinary appearance and a somewhat thin build. However, his eyes revealed a determined and unyielding spirit.

Xiao Lingfeng also noticed a hint of hatred in Xiao Zhi’s eyes.

Xiao Lingfeng knew that his protagonist nephew probably suspected him of damaging his talent. He also blamed him for interrupting his moment to shine with his powerful aura.
