The Villain Writes a Diary, and the Heroine Is Completely Broken

Chapter 5: The Moment Arrives! The Highlight of Beating the Protagonist!:

The sect master and the four peak masters sat down, observing the ceremony.

Chang Xia, the head disciple and leader of Xuanyu Peak, gave Chu Xuan a meaningful look. As the head disciple, he could sense the affection his master held for Chu Xuan. Of course, he also felt sympathy for him.

Being scolded like that… it was pitiful.

Chu Xuan had potential, with his strong body and good constitution. However, when Chang Xia glanced at Lu Yun, his expression became complicated. This young man… must have some kind of brain disorder. He actually had the nerve to come to the Mystic Jade Sect and act so arrogantly.

“The ceremony for accepting disciples begins!” Chang Xia announced. “First task: test your spiritual roots. Disciples, line up and touch the spiritual pillar in turn.”

The process of testing spiritual roots, constitution, and bones was familiar, resembling scenes from other novels.

As Lu Yun proudly followed Chu Xuan to line up, he reveled in the moment.

[Oh, this feels so satisfying.]

Girls: …

[This fool is still glaring at me with such resentment? If he had some backbone and argued with me, I’d at least respect him as a warrior.]

[What a coward.]

Ye Qingxian, watching from a distance, felt both anger and amusement.

‘Argue with you? I can’t even stomach the words you spew. Do you think everyone is as bold as you?’

‘Wait, why am I taking Chu Xuan’s side? Stupid protagonist, he deserved to be scolded!’

Ye Qingxian understood that sometimes, people just needed to vent. But as she looked at Chu Xuan, she saw him casting resentful glances at Lu Yun. How pitiful.

As the protagonist, he was supposed to be handsome and loved by all. But his personality was weak and cowardly, unlike the carefree villain, Lu Yun.

Immortal cultivation required defiance of the heavens—fearlessness. Cowardice was a fatal flaw. And yet, Chu Xuan could only complain in secret, not daring to confront Lu Yun directly.

Ye Qingxian shook her head, disappointed that heaven had chosen him as the protagonist.

[By the way, I remember the protagonist in the original novel wasn’t this cowardly.]

[Even though he was always bullied by the villain, at least he fought back…]

[Maybe the fusion of different novels messed with the protagonist’s personality?]

The girls were left confused by his thoughts.

[Oh well. Whatever happens, the script heaven gave me is like this. I just need to finish my role. The rest is irrelevant.]

[Speaking of which, I should be thankful Heaven didn’t limit my lines, allowing me to curse freely.]

Girls: …

[Now, how should I torment him enough to make Ye Qingxian and her seven disciples feel protective?]

Girls: …Can’t you stop bringing that up?’

[Only by bullying him can he have the chance to join Qingxiu Peak as Ye Qingxian’s disciple.]

At these words, the women’s expressions darkened.
As expected! They had suspected this plot, but hearing Lu Yun confirm it was still unsettling. Ye Qingxian grew gloomier as she looked at Chu Xuan.

“Does he want to join Qingxiu Peak and become my direct disciple? Not in this lifetime…” She muttered.

While Lu Yun cared about the plot, she did not. According to the script, she and her seven disciples were all part of Chu Xuan’s harem. How could she tolerate that?

Of course, Ye Qingxian had considered eliminating Chu Xuan secretly. But whenever she had that thought, she felt a deep sense of unease. She knew then that the protagonist was protected by fate and the heavens.

No one could kill him if they weren’t far stronger, and those who tried would only help him grow faster.

Wasn’t that a frustrating plot tool?

But from what Lu Yun implied, he could bully the protagonist without issue. So, she placed her hopes on him to deal with Chu Xuan and relieve her frustration.

It would be great if Lu Yun could beat him to death, though that was unlikely.

The test phase concluded, and fewer than one-tenth of the disciples remained. Most of the others were given money and sent on their way. Chu Xuan and Lu Yun, of course, remained.

Chang Xia wasn’t surprised.

He announced, “The test is over. Congratulations on joining the Mystic Jade Sect. But to teach according to one’s aptitude, the final stage will be a sparring match.”

At these words, both Chu Xuan and Lu Yun’s eyes lit up, and they instinctively looked at each other. Chang Xia, pretending not to notice, continued his explanation.

“Don’t worry about getting injured or using complex techniques. The masters just want to see your physical fitness and understanding of your body. This will help determine which peak master you are best suited to train under.”

[Here it comes! The opportunity to beat up the protagonist! Hahaha!]

[The second highlight of the villain’s role is about to begin! This is going to be fun!]

The women couldn’t help but laugh, more excited than Lu Yun. They all hoped he would beat Chu Xuan to a pulp so they could enjoy some peace.

[Oh? This little fool dares to glare at me?]

The women looked at Lu Yun, who was smirking as he stared at Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan’s expression was slipping, while Lu Yun was full of mockery.

The more the girls looked at Lu Yun, the more they liked him. If he could beat Chu Xuan to death, they would be even more pleased.

[Let me think of a way to beat him later. I can’t let this idiot die.]

Girls: …

[If I slap him hard enough to make him soil himself, that’d be hilarious.]

The women’s faces turned red in embarrassment. Shameless!

[He can’t possibly die from that, can he?]

Girls: …

[Look at that pitiful face. He’ll probably cry and make a scene afterward.]

Girls: …

[Wait, what if he really does? Wouldn’t that trigger Ye Qingxian’s protective instincts and make her treasure him as a disciple?]

Ye Qingxian: ??? What kind of nonsense are you thinking? Could I really treasure someone covered in filth? Ugh…

The image was so vivid that Ye Qingxian almost gagged, and her seven disciples behind her looked equally disgusted.

After Chang Xia finished explaining the rules, Chu Xuan was the first to step forward.

“Big Brother! The sect master kindly forgave my tardiness and allowed me to stay. So, I wish to repay his kindness by being the first to compete and setting an example for others.” He said while bowing.

Chang Xia’s eyes brightened. Chu Xuan had the appearance of a protagonist, with his charm and eloquence. Under this triple appeal, he did indeed seem impressive.

“Very well. Do you have someone in mind for your match?” Chang Xia said, his demeanor gentle.

Everyone knew who he wanted to fight, but the formalities had to be observed. Chu Xuan, still humble, bowed again.

“Though Senior Brother Lu Yun is older by a year, I have spent much time working at home, keeping my body strong. I humbly ask to compete with Senior Brother Lu Yun, despite my weakness. I hope he will teach me.”

At these words, Lu Yun couldn’t help but silently applaud.

[What a good person.]

[Since you love pretending so much, I’ll give you an even bigger opportunity to shine later.]

Girls: …

Chang Xia smiled and turned to Lu Yun. “What do you think, Junior Brother Lu?”

[Do I even need to say? I must beat him. I’m the villain, after all.]

Girls: …

Lu Yun smiled and bowed gracefully. “It’s up to you, Senior Brother.”

Girls: …You’re really good at pretending…

Chang Xia looked to the sect master for confirmation before turning back to them.

“Very well, Junior Brother Lu Yun and Junior Brother Chu Xuan will have the first match.”

At these words, Chu Xuan’s eyes gleamed with excitement, and he cursed inwardly, “Damn villain! I’ll admit I’ll lose! But with my strength, I’ll smash your head first!”
