Huh? Is it so easy to increase the male lead's favorability?

Wen Jin's brows furrowed, and he became more and more nervous.

"Little Junior Sister, please sit down."

Song Guanqing pinched his eyebrows and spoke.

"I didn't want to trouble Junior Sister with this matter, but no one expected it to be so serious."

"Senior brother, please speak."

Wen Jin nodded and said that she saw sad expressions on the faces of every one of her senior brothers.

Compared with what is happening now, what happened between her and Ji Yunmiao back then is not worth mentioning at all.

"The waters around our Penglai Island have restrictions set by the founders of the island hundreds of thousands of years ago."

"These countless restrictions suppress the ferocious beasts and tens of thousands of ordinary monsters on the seabed."

"It's just that a ban was broken half a month ago."

"I originally thought it was just a minor incident, because it was common for the ban to be broken occasionally in the past."

"So this time, as usual, the third brother and the sixth brother will lead the team to reset the restrictions. One of them is a magic cultivator, and the other is a formation cultivator, so they are most adept at handling these things."

"only……"

Song Guanqing said, and paused: "This time it seems to be more serious."

"The third and sixth brothers are back with serious injuries. The restrictions have not been restored, but are showing a tendency to expand and break."

Wen Jin's expression also became serious when he heard this.

The Penglai Beast Tide was a turmoil that completely changed the structure of the immortal cultivation world.

It’s just that this incident clearly happened very late in the plot. When the beast tide occurred in the book, all the senior brothers had already passed away... It was also because of this beast tide that Penglai, which had already lost its vitality, was taken advantage of by other sects to be divided up.

How come it has come to this early?

As soon as Song Guanqing finished speaking, Wen Jin spoke directly: "Brother, what you mean is... we are in trouble this time."

Song Guanqing nodded: "Yes. Tonight, your brothers and I will lead a team from Penglai to the place where the beast tide occurred. Little sister, you..."

"Wen Jin invites you to fight."

Before Song Guanqing could finish speaking, Wen Jin stood up from his seat, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply towards Song Guanqing.

"Junior Sister, you have never participated in such things. Our original intention was..."

Xu Yuan glanced at Song Guanqing, then set his gaze on Wen Jin and spoke to Wen Jin.

"It is precisely because of this that Wen Jin should ask for the battle."

Wen Jin stood up, looked at Song Guanqing seriously, and said in a firm voice.

She turned around and scanned the faces of each of her senior brothers: "Wen Jin has enjoyed too many conveniences and honors provided by the sect and senior brothers, but he only has the name of a genius without any real achievements. A few days ago, he was even reported to have done something that was detrimental to the sect's reputation. Therefore, he can no longer enjoy these things with peace of mind."

Hearing this, the sadness on Meng Chengyu's face faded a little, replaced by a sense of relief.

Feeling Wen Jin's firm gaze on him, Xu Yuan swallowed back the second half of his sentence, "I would like to ask my junior sister to draw more talismans for us in the back."

The little bird standing on his shoulder chirped, as if agreeing with what Wen Jin said.

Wen Jin smiled at the bird, then said to Song Guanqing: "Brother, I have grown up. I am no longer the child who only stands behind and waits for protection."

Song Guanqing stared at Wen Jin, and Wen Jin looked back without showing any weakness.

After a long time, Song Guanqing smiled, a helpless smile, but also a somewhat relieved one.

"If you insist, let's go together."

"Brother, you have forgotten that you are also at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."

……

Fuyao Peak.

When Wen Jin pushed open the door, Ji Yunmiao was still writing invitations at the table.

He lit a candle, and the dim candlelight illuminated half of his face, making the man who always looked indifferent appear gentle.

It was windy and rainy outside, with dull thunder rumbling from time to time, making the room even more peaceful and quiet.

As the door was pushed open, the wind caused the candle wick to jump, and Ji Yunmiao raised his head from the invitation.

"came back."

He spoke.

Wen Jin's heart, which had been tense just now, finally settled down with this greeting.

She nodded.

"Penglai will be a bit chaotic recently."

She said: "The seals in the surrounding seas have been broken by monsters, including some ferocious beasts."

"Senior Brother Xie and Senior Brother Shangguan are seriously injured."

"Brother decided that several of us peak masters would lead the team to suppress this beast tide."

As she spoke, she picked up the scissors on the table and cut the slightly longer candle wick. In the dim light of the candle, she looked at Ji Yunmiao:

"Are you going with me?"

She thought for a moment and explained, "Brother means that you have just established your foundation, and it would be too dangerous for you to go."

"I mean, you better come with me."

The original book wrote that the reason for this beast tide was the advent of a divine weapon. Unfortunately, no one could tame it in the end. Even the male protagonist in the original book missed the divine weapon because of his evil character caused by falling into the devil.

She wanted to take Ji Yunmiao, who was currently practicing normally, to try his luck.

After all, the hero’s luck is unmatched—that ice crystal is an example!

Ji Yunmiao's eyes flickered, and there was a voice in his heart that kept clamoring for him to go quickly. He originally wanted to disagree with this voice, but now that Wen Jin had invited him, he... didn't know how to refuse.

Although he had no reason to refuse, he had been sitting here writing invitations for more than ten days.

He suppressed the voice in his heart and nodded.

"Now that I am in the middle stage of the Golden Core, I should be able to protect myself."

Ji Yunmiao spoke.

"Besides, I have some talismans you drew for me recently, so I don't think there will be any danger."

"Mid-stage golden elixir?"

The surprise on Wen Jin's face was not fake.

I would have believed it if I hadn’t picked up the safety lock with your Nascent Soul restriction!

Wen Jin put away his surprise and replaced it with a bit of surprise: "That's great."

After saying that, she looked at Ji Yunmiao apologetically: "I'm sorry, I ignored you so much in the past that I didn't even notice this."

"I didn't mention it. I concealed something."

Ji Yunmiao received Wen Jin's apologetic look and coughed guiltily.

Wen Jin noticed Ji Yunmiao's guilty conscience, turned his gaze back to the table, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in his heart.

Acting, right? Who can’t do it?

……

At midnight, the Penglai Fairy Island teleportation array.

Song Guanqing looked at the figure following behind Wen Jin and narrowed his eyes.

Wen Jin noticed Song Guanqing's gaze, told Ji Yunmiao to wait there, then turned and walked towards Song Guanqing.

"Senior Brother." She nodded slightly.

"Brother, don't worry. He has already reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Cultivation Stage."

Hearing this, Song Guanqing shifted his gaze from Wen Jin to Ji Yunmiao with some surprise.

Ji Yunmiao also looked over at the same time and bowed slightly to Song Guanqing.

"He is a genius indeed..."

Song Guanqing murmured, retracting his gaze: "You are only an eighteen-year-old golden elixir."

Wen Jin nodded, "He has four spiritual roots and he has such a fast cultivation speed. If he had only one spiritual root, I'm afraid no one would be able to catch up with him."

"You have a good eye." Song Guanqing smiled, "I think he's already pining after you've only said a few words to me."
