I heard that I became the villain Bai Yueguang after I died

Three days later, Sang Nian successfully arrived at Luoxian City at the foot of Xiaoyao Sect Mountain.

Chu Yao and a few others had to return to the sect to report first, so after giving her a few instructions, they left in a hurry.

The selection of new students will not begin until one day later, and the city is already bustling with people who come to participate in the selection, making it extremely lively.

Sang Nian and Xie Chenzhou went to several inns, but they were all fully booked.

"There shouldn't be more than 100,000 people in the city right now, right?" The streets were crowded with people. She sighed as she walked, "It's too difficult to enter Xiaoyao Sect."

I still don’t know what the scene will be like when the official selection takes place tomorrow.

However, according to the original book, just the first level of testing spiritual roots will eliminate more than half of the people.

Then the second level, the third level...

In the end, only ten people at most were able to enter the Xiaoyao Sect's mountain gate.

Sang Nian was under tremendous pressure.

Don’t worry about spiritual roots, the original owner has them.

But the original owner entered the Xiaoyao Sect with the help of Sang Qi Yan's relationship.

Now that I have decided to hide my identity and become your disciple, I can no longer do this.

She had to walk into the gate of Xiaoyao Sect on her own.

If it fails...

Sang Nian stood in front of the bulletin board, reading the notice posted there word by word.

[Xiaoyao Sect Canteen sincerely recruits two food servers

Working hours: morning, noon and evening, one day on and one day off, 20 days of annual leave

Monthly salary of 30 Lingshi, including food and accommodation]

Sang Nian's eyes lit up.

This disciple doesn't have to do it.

She looked around furtively, then quickly took out the notice and put it into her sleeve.

Xie Chenzhou, who witnessed the whole process, said:

"..."

"Sang Yunling, what are you doing?"

Sang Nian pulled him to a corner and said seriously:

"Don't call me Sang Yunling anymore."

Xie Chenzhou frowned: "What is that called?"

"Call me Sang Nian," she said, "or Nian Nian is fine too."

Chu Yao’s words that day flashed through his ears—only close people would let the other person call them by their nicknames.

Xie Chenzhou looked at Sang Nian and sneered:

"Sang Yunling, I advise you to give up on me."

Sang Nian: "Ah?"

He said: "Maybe you have misunderstood something during our time together, but I, Xie Chenzhou, will never like you in this life."

Sang Nian: "Ah??"

"I am staying with you now just as a temporary measure," Xie Chenzhou said in a cold voice, "Once I get it... one day I will leave, and if you dare to stop me then -"

"I will kill you with my own hands."

Sang Nian: "Ah???"

Xie Chenzhou said no more and strode away.

Sang Nian's face was full of question marks.

No, this person must be sick.

Half a day passed, and when it was dark, Sang Nian finally found the only inn with a vacant room.

"You two are really lucky. This is the only room left in our hotel. If you come a moment later, you won't be able to stay here."

The shopkeeper handed over the key with a smile:

"Every thirty years our Luoxian City will be bustling like this. It can be seen that this is your first time here. Those who are experienced have already booked rooms several months in advance."

Sang Nian took the key and said, "It's indeed my first time here, I didn't think too much about it."

The shopkeeper stroked his beard, looked at her and Xie Chenzhou for a moment, and said with a smile:

"I see that you two have extraordinary talents. You will definitely be able to successfully become Xiaoyao this time."

Sang Nian asked happily, "Really?"

Shopkeeper: "Of course, I have been doing this business for so many years and I have never made a mistake, but..."

Sang Nian: "But what?"

"You are still missing one thing." He said in a serious tone, "If you have that thing, you will be absolutely safe."

Sang Nian became nervous: "What is it?"

The shopkeeper looked around cautiously and took two things from the shelf.

"As the saying goes, fate comes first, luck comes second, and feng shui comes third. For many things, success is often just a little bit of luck away," he shook the talisman on his left hand, "This is a good luck talisman drawn by Master Cibei Ya Ruozhi himself. As long as you wear it, it will surely bless you with good luck."

Xie Chenzhou: “…”

Sang Nian was confused and said, "So magical?!"

"Don't get excited yet, take a look at this." The shopkeeper showed the long sword in his right hand, "This is my family heirloom sword, made of meteorite iron from outer space, the blade is three feet and three inches long, extremely sharp, it can cut iron like mud."

"If you want to pass the selection, you can't do it without a weapon like this. With it, I guarantee you'll be able to kill anyone who stands in your way."

Xie Chenzhou: “…”

Sang Nian was excited: "So amazing?!"

"Want to have it?!" said the shopkeeper.

Sang Nian nodded frantically: "I want to!!!"

"One hundred thousand spirit stones." He stretched out his hand.

Sang Nian immediately lowered his head to unlock the storage bag.

Xie Chenzhou couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed her arm:

"Are you a dummy?"

Before Sang Nian could say anything, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes and snorted:

"I'm reluctant to let you go because you both are my favorites. Since you don't trust me, let's just leave it at that."

Sang Nian hurriedly said, "I want it, I want it. Wait a minute, I'll give you the spirit stone right away."

After saying that, she pushed Xie Chenzhou:

"Let go of me now, you're blocking me from paying."

The two men were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and Xie Chenzhou let go with a dark face.

Sang Nian handed a stack of stamped banknotes to the shopkeeper, "Each note is worth 10,000 spirit stones."

After the payment and goods were settled, the shopkeeper's expression turned from gloomy to bright:

"Sure enough, the girl is a connoisseur of goods."

He glanced at Xie Chenzhou:

"Unlike someone who is living off his wife and can't even tell who is in charge in this family."

Xie Chenzhou looked gloomy, "What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything." The shopkeeper said innocently.

Sang Nian carefully put away the talisman and the sword, and forcibly dragged Xie Chenzhou upstairs:

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's go back to our room and get some rest."

When they got to the room, Xie Chenzhou shook her hand away with a gloomy face, "He was mocking me, didn't you hear it?"

Sang Nian pulled out a chair and sat down, admiring the talisman and sword he had just bought, and said casually:

"You must have heard wrongly. I think he's a nice guy. He even gave me a gift."

Xie Chenzhou gritted his teeth: "You——"

A lucky charm was stuffed into the brocade bag on his waist. Sang Nian patted the brocade bag and said:

"Wear it well. If it falls off, I won't buy you a new one."

He was stunned for a while before he said:

"Did you buy this for me?"

Sang Nian: "Yeah."

Xie Chenzhou turned his face away:

"I don't need it, take it."

"It won't bother you if you put it there anyway." Sang Nian said, "This is a good luck charm. It can bring you good luck."

She looked him in the eyes and said joyfully:

"You've been so unlucky, but with this, things will get better. Everything will go smoothly for sure."

Xie Chenzhou remained silent, and when he spoke again, his voice was inexplicably softer:

"Smug."

He tied up the brocade bag and looked disdainful:

"I'll throw it away in two days."

[Ding~Thank you Chen Zhou for your impression +200]

Obviously I like it.

Just pretend to be dead.

Sang Nian curled his lips, drew out his brand new sword, and asked curiously:

"Is this sword as powerful as yours?"

Xie Chenzhou asked back: "What do you think?"

Sang Nian thought about it and said, "It should be about the same, right?"

Xie Chenzhou summoned his own natal sword, threw it in front of her with a "dong" sound, and raised his chin:

"See for yourself."

Sang Nian tried to draw his sword impatiently, but failed.

She looked at Xie Chenzhou in confusion.

Xie Chenzhou pulled out another chair, sat down lazily, and flicked the sword with his fingers.

The sword trembled and was reluctantly unsheathed.

In an instant, a bright light flashed before Sang Nian's eyes. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully after the light disappeared.

The sword was completely black without any patterns carved on it. It was unknown what material it was made of, and it was incredibly cold.

She tried to hold it in her hand, but it was so heavy that it hurt her wrist.

"I feel that this sword looks quite ordinary." Sang Nian said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in his hand shook violently.

She quickly put it down and pretended to be serious:

"But if you look closely, you'll find that it's not ordinary at all. Every detail on it is perfect. It's definitely the best sword in the world!"

The sword was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly raised the hilt and rubbed it awkwardly against her palm.

Sang Nian: “?”

Xie Chenzhou: “…”

"What's wrong with it?" she asked.

Xie Chenzhou put away his natal sword, expressionless:

"Nothing, I just wanted to go back to the sword forge to take a look."

It is true that the sword follows its master, and if the person is strange, the sword will also be strange.

Sang Nian didn't understand, but respected.

She stood up and took out the quilt from the closet:

"Can you play rock-paper-scissors?"

Xie Chenzhou: "Why are you asking this?"

Sang Nian picked a good place to put down the quilt:

"We're playing rock-paper-scissors. One round will decide the winner, and the loser will sleep on the floor tonight. It's fair, just and open, and no one is allowed to cheat."

He said disdainfully: "Childish, no play."

Sang Nian rubbed his hands, "Rock-paper-scissors!"

Xie Chenzhou and she extended their hands at the same time.

She looked at her open palm, then at his clenched fist, and laughed out loud, saying proudly:

"I win! I'll sleep on the bed tonight, and you just sleep on the floor."

Xie Chenzhou stared at his still tightly clenched fist, with a confused look on his face.

Why did I just... take action?
