Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

The Xuantian Sect once produced two Great Emperors.

Emperor Gouchen and Emperor Ziwei.

It is a top sect in the ancient continent.

It is divided into nine major palaces.

Among them, the Ziwei Palace and the Gouchen Palace are the most prestigious, representing the authentic lineage of the Great Emperor.

But how could ordinary people possibly obtain the legacy of an emperor?

Therefore, for a long time, the Ziwei Palace and the Gouchen Palace were in a state of having no successor.

It wasn't until Luo Tian received the inheritance of Emperor Gouchen that the Gouchen Imperial Palace reappeared after ten thousand years.

Below the two imperial palaces are the seven palaces of the Big Dipper.

Although the Seven Palaces of the Big Dipper are not a direct descendant of the Great Emperor, they are still worthy of being called the orthodox lineage of Xuantian.

In the era when the Imperial Palace was not active, everything in the Xuantian Sect was basically controlled by the Seven Palaces, and the sect leader was also selected from among the Seven Palaces.

The current sect leader, Empress Xuan, was the previous sect leader of Tianxuan Palace.

With Empress Xuan becoming the sect leader, the position of Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace has remained vacant, awaiting the succession of the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan.

Luo Tian spent his youth in Tianxuan Palace. Now, as a divine son, with the position of Tianxuan Palace Master vacant, he entered Tianxuan Palace with almost no hindrance.

"I have met the Divine Child."

Upon seeing Luo Tian, ​​the disciples of Tianxuan Palace guarding the palace immediately bowed respectfully.

"The title 'Divine Child' is for outsiders. You are my junior brothers and sisters, so just call me senior brother. There's no need to be so formal."

Luo Tian smiled warmly.

He has always been clear about his likes and dislikes.

He was very close to the Xuantian Sect, from its elders to its disciples, who had given him birth, raised him, and taken care of him.

"Then... junior brother (sister) greets senior brother."

The disciples guarding the palace felt a deep sense of kinship and bowed to Luo Tian once again.

"Um."

Luo Tian nodded.

Your reputation among the sect disciples has slightly increased.

[Note: Changes in sect reputation will affect your evaluation for protecting the Xuan Tian Sect.]

Luo Tian glanced at the system message notification unexpectedly.

He subtly withdrew his gaze, looked back at his bewildered junior brothers and sisters, and coughed lightly.

"Ahem, do you know where Junior Brother and Sister Tianxuan is?"

"The Holy Maiden has only recently returned to the palace; she should be taking a stroll in the courtyard behind the mountain."

"Thank you for informing me, junior brothers and sisters. I have important business to discuss with Junior Sister Tianxuan. I will go see her now."

Luo Tianchao and the other person cupped their hands in greeting and entered Tianxuan Palace without waiting.

Everything inside Tianxuan Palace was so familiar. After passing through rows of palaces and connecting corridors, we soon arrived at the courtyard on the back mountain.

Luo Tian looked up.

as predicted.

Beneath the peach blossoms and beside the clear lotus pond, a graceful and aloof woman in flowing white robes stood elegantly.

She furrowed her brows slightly, gazing at the fish in the pond, her eyes darting around.

He seems to be preoccupied with worries and anxieties that are difficult to dispel.

She is the Heavenly Xuan Saintess that Luo Tianxin has been longing for.

"Did Tianxuan get injured during his training trip down the mountain?"

Luo Tian quickly walked to Tianxuan Saintess's side and looked at her with concern.

He was completely devoid of his usual carefree and composed demeanor.

He's like a licking dog wagging its tail.

It emphasizes authenticity, ensuring that people can't tell the difference between reality and fiction.

"..."

Tianxuan Saintess glanced at Luo Tian indifferently and shook her head slightly.

"Are you really alright? If you're injured, I have some holy healing medicine here that should be able to help."

Luo Tian took out various sacred medicines from his storage ring and handed them to the Holy Maiden Tianxuan.

"Even if there are no injuries, Junior Sister should still keep more sacred medicines in case of emergency."

"I'm really fine."

Saintess Tianxuan shook her head, coldly rejecting Luo Tian's offer.

"Besides, my senior brother already gave me a lot of spiritual treasures and holy medicines for self-defense before I went down the mountain, so why bother with this?"

"Hehe... It's never a bad thing to be more prepared."

Seeing that the Holy Maiden Tianxuan was unwilling to accept his kindness, Luo Tian had no choice but to reluctantly take back the sacred medicine.

He gazed at the other person with deep affection.

"I see Tianxuan, you're gazing at the clear pond, lost in thought, as if something's on your mind. If you encounter any difficulties down the mountain, feel free to tell me."

"Instead of worrying about Tianxuan, Senior Brother should spend more time cultivating and breaking through the shackles of the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Tianxuan, you may not know this, but I came here to find you after I broke through to the Void Refinement Realm."

"Senior brother...you've broken through?"

The expression on Tianxuan Saintess's face finally changed slightly.

She finally looked at Luo Tian properly.

They were surprised to discover that Luo Tian's aura had far surpassed that of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"So my senior brother was in seclusion before, no wonder he only came to find me today."

"Oh dear, Tianxuan, is that why you're so worried because you can't see me?"

Luo Tian hurried through the narrow passage.

"Senior brother is overthinking it."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden Tianxuan frowned and immediately turned away with a tense expression.

She stared blankly at the fish swimming in the clear pond, and only after a long while did she slightly open her mouth.

"I wasn't thinking about my senior brother, but someone else."

"..."

Luo Tian remained silent.

Is it really okay to talk about other men in front of a simp?

Luo Tian naturally knew who it was, but he still pretended not to know and asked the Holy Maiden Tianxuan.

"Who is it?"

"A vulgar and rude rogue monk."

Tianxuan Saintess said softly.

"What?"

Luo Tian's eyes widened suddenly.

He put his acting skills to the extreme, and suddenly gritted his teeth, pressing down on the shoulders of the Holy Maiden Tianxuan to defend her.

"Who is that guy? How dare he bully my junior sister Tianxuan! I'll go chop him up right now and avenge you!"

"That's enough, senior brother, this is none of your business."

Tianxuan Saintess broke free from Luo Tian's hands, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

"I'm not a child anymore. I can make my own decisions and don't need my senior brother's interference."

"No matter how much time passes, you'll always be my junior sister. How could I let you suffer?"

"I was not wronged."

"But you said his language was vulgar and rude..."

"It has nothing to do with my senior brother."

"But I want to know."

"That's enough, senior brother. I'm tired. Can I have some peace and quiet?"

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan coldly issued an order to leave.

"..."

Luo Tian sensed the other party's coldness and couldn't help but take a step back.

He apologized bitterly to the Holy Maiden Tianxuan.

"I'm sorry, I went too far."

"If this is my junior sister's wish, then I will leave."

"But no matter what, I hope you can be happy, junior sister, so I will come again."

After saying that, Luo Tian left alone, feeling sad.

"..."

Only after Luo Tian's aura completely disappeared did the Holy Maiden Tianxuan turn around and look at the empty space behind her.

He sensed something was amiss.

My senior brother has changed.

I used to be persistent and clingy.

"He's really leaving this time..."

……

Luo Tian left Tianxuan Palace.

"I have met the Divine Child."

Seeing that Luo Tian was in low spirits, the junior disciples of the palace guards dared not neglect him in the slightest.

"Everyone says to call me senior brother."

Luo Tian forced a smile.

"You have done a great job protecting Tianxuan Palace. If you have any problems with your cultivation, feel free to come to Gouchen Palace and ask me for advice."

Before the two could answer, Luo Tian went straight back to Gouchen Palace.

Upon entering the cave, finding no one else around, Luo Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so tired."

"But his performance should have been alright, right?"

[That's how a "simp" works: for him, the woman only needs his acceptance, not necessarily his consent; but a "simp" has to consider many more things.]

A low-level simp will only pester you relentlessly; a professional simp knows how to forgive and let go.

[You've made good progress on your path to becoming the ultimate simp for the Heavenly Maiden of Xuan.]

You weren't actually a simp, were you?

"Now it's officially verified by the system."

Luo Tian smiled bitterly.

According to his predetermined fate, he had a strong desire to control his junior sister Tianxuan, and he kept pestering her, wanting to possess everything about her.

This time, however, he does not intend to repeat the same mistake.

He wants to protect everything belonging to the Xuantian Sect.

This naturally includes Junior Sister Tianxuan.

Since they will inevitably have to fight the destined male protagonist sooner or later, why not let go and let Junior Sister Tianxuan pursue her own happiness?
