After transmigrating into the body of the protagonist's childhood friend, he was targeted by a

Luo Yiyan grew anxious: "But we only have a chance if we join the immortal sect; if we don't, we really won't have any chance at all!"

Looking at the two of them displaying such brotherly affection, Yu Linzhou suddenly curled his lips and slowly said, "I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending."

"You yourself are exceptionally talented and were taken in as a personal disciple by Yan Lingcang, while your friend is mediocre. Did you bring him into your fold so that he could watch you be the center of attention while you achieve nothing?"

He paused, then his smile deepened: "What a vicious mind."

Luo Yiyan's face turned pale instantly: "I didn't! Zhixu, believe me, I really didn't mean that!"

Lin Zhixu nodded: "I believe you."

He certainly believed Luo Yiyan.

What kind of evil intentions could the protagonist possibly have?

Besides, whether in the original story or in his memories, Luo Yiyan is indeed a very good person.

Moreover, Yu Linzhou doesn't look like a good person at all; he's full of bad intentions.

In comparison, he certainly knew who he should believe.

Seeing that his attempt to sow discord had failed, Yu Linzhou curled his lip in disbelief.

For some unknown reason, his eyes darted around, and he added, "Since you brothers are so devoted to each other, I am deeply moved. Suddenly, I can't bear to see you separated, so perhaps..."

He looked at Lin Zhixu: "I will accept you as my disciple! Once you become my disciple, I will naturally teach you with all my might. Isn't that better than being an outer disciple?"

Luo Yiyan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Yu Linzhou: "Of course. I find this young friend quite pleasing to the eye, and I am willing to take him as my disciple. I and Yan Lingcang are both members of the Tianheng Sect, and being in the same sect, you can see each other often without having to be separated."

Yun Su frowned: "This is inappropriate. His talent is so low; if you take him in, what will others think?"

Yu Linzhou scoffed, "What do I care what others think? If they're so capable, let them come begging me to take them as disciples!"

Yun Su: "..."

Tsk, still the same old dog temper.

She's not a member of the Tianheng Sect, so why is she worrying about this?

In just a few words, Lin Zhixu's destination was decided.

No one asked for his opinion. Or perhaps they simply didn't care about his wishes.

Lin Zhixu stood there, watching the people in front of him make the decision for him, one after another, with only one thought in his mind.

I'm really annoyed.

Sure enough, the thrill was reserved for the main characters; nobody cared about minor characters like them.

Yu Linzhou looked at Lin Zhixu, narrowed his eyes, and beckoned to him like a fox.

"Come on, become my apprentice now."

Luo Yiyan looked at him expectantly.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Yu Linzhou had already been rejected by Luo Yiyan, and if he rejected her again, he had a feeling that the man would really get angry.

Then they'll take their anger out on him.

Lin Zhixu sighed inwardly and resignedly bowed, saying, "Disciple Lin Zhixu greets Master."

Yu Linzhou smiled with satisfaction, leaned closer, raised his hand and hooked his chin, his voice low and seductive: "Good disciple, from now on, listen to your master's words obediently, and your master will love you."

As he got closer, he noticed that although the child was pale and looked thin, his eyelashes were quite long, thick, and wispy, like two small fans, trembling slightly.

Lin Zhixu lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "...Thank you, Master."

That old lecher, I guess I'll have to be more careful about him in the future.

……

In any case, the apprenticeship ceremony is finally over.

Luo Yiyan followed Yan Lingcang away, looking at Lin Zhixu with reluctance before leaving, her eyes filled with both joy and worry.

He took one step and then turned back three times, dawdling along. In the end, Yan Lingcang simply dragged him away.

Lin Zhixu stood there, watching them leave, then turned to look at his nominal master.

Yu Linzhou left with a "follow me" and flew away in a flash.

Lin Zhixu stood there, feeling the wind, his face expressionless.

...Has this person forgotten that he can't fly?

Fortunately, the thought had barely crossed his mind when the purple figure flew back in the blink of an eye.

Yu Linzhou landed in front of him, a rare look of annoyance on his face: "I forgot you can't fly."

He sighed, looking as if he had made a huge sacrifice: "Alright, I'll make an exception for you this time. You should know, I never used to hug men."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Zhixu to react, she picked him up horizontally.

Lin Zhixu suddenly leaped into the air and instinctively wrapped his arms around Yu Linzhou's neck.

Yu Linzhou glanced down at him and chuckled, "Although I know I am very charming, I have no interest in men."

Lin Zhixu looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word.

Ha ha.

Yu Linzhou waited for a moment, but when he didn't get the reaction he wanted, he immediately felt bored: "You kid, you're really no fun. You won't even give your teacher a reaction. Your friend is much more interesting."

Lin Zhixu: I can't be bothered with you.

Not long after, the two landed in front of a courtyard.

The courtyard is quite large, with lush flowers and trees, and a tranquil environment.

Yu Linzhou put him down: "You can stay here for now. You're my only disciple, so there aren't many rules. Just make yourself at home. Oh, by the way—"

He conjured a token from his hand and handed it over: "Whatever you want, just take this token to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Lin Zhixu quickly spoke up: "Wait—"

But Yu Linzhou's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Lin Zhixu's hand holding the token froze in mid-air, and his lips twitched.

Tell me where Wanbaoge is!

And he hasn't even asked how to find him yet.

We can't just abandon him here after he's become our disciple, can we?

Helpless, he turned and went inside.

This courtyard has never been inhabited, yet it is not dirty or messy. It must be some kind of formation that keeps everything in this courtyard clean.

What happened today was so shocking that he was very tense and had just lain down on the bed to rest for a while.

Just then, he heard a crisp system notification sound, and a voice echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations, host! Successful binding! You have successfully entered the 'Tianheng Sect'! The storyline has officially begun! Please prepare yourself for the challenges ahead.]

If you have any questions, you can communicate with the system in your mind, and the system will answer them for you.

Lin Zhixu was startled and sat up abruptly: [What kind of system are you? What storyline do I have to follow? Can I not follow it?]

System: [Okay, I will answer your questions one by one. This system is a plot assistance system, number 12386, or the host can suggest a name for me.]

System: [This world evolved from a novel. The host is an important supporting character in the novel. Due to a system malfunction, a rift appeared at the connection between the two spaces, causing the world to come to an abrupt halt. The host accidentally fell into the rift and has been living in another world for over twenty years.]

System: [After emergency repairs, the rift has been closed, and the host has been pulled back to their original position.]

System: [Failure to follow the storyline is not an option. Significant deviations from the plot will cause the world to collapse, and the host will be completely erased.]

Lin Zhixu remained expressionless.

You idiot! Do you think you're cute?

So I am Lin Zhixu in this world?

System: [Yes.]

Lin Zhixu laughed in exasperation, "You still are."

This accident was caused by you. Don't you owe me any compensation?

System: [Here's the thing. Although the accident occurred, you weren't harmed. So, the system's compensation for you is to allow you to return here with the memories of another world. And I've been sent to assist you.]

[Once the story progresses to the finale, the system will help the host escape death, and the host will be free.]
