I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

He saw that the girl was at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and was indeed a genius at her age. No wonder her family had assigned her a protector.

The guardian behind the girl raised an eyebrow. He thought Zhao Kangping was a cultivator from out of town, unaware of the power dynamics within Chuanliu City. So he kindly reminded her, "This is Miss Shen Lingzhu, daughter of the Shen family and the grand champion of the Chuanliu City Tianjiao Competition."

Then the girl held her head high and chest out, like a proud little phoenix, afraid that others would not see her gorgeous wings.

Speaking of the Shen family, Zhao Kangping remembered that many inner sect elders of the Ziyang Holy Land came from this family.

In Chuanliu City, the Shen family's strength ranks among the top three, and it is considered a relatively influential family.

Also, he saw the head of the Shen family among the family representatives from Chuanliu City invited by He Weiyuan at Hejiazhuang yesterday.

I didn't expect that I would run into them plotting to harm Mr. Zhao yesterday, and today I would meet the young men from these families.

However, Zhao Kangping was somewhat disdainful of the Chuanliu City Prodigy Competition.

It is a competition organized by a group of family forces in the small circle of Chuanliu City specifically for young talents.

How much value does it have? Even those who know the business will shake their heads.

Because the top few places in this competition can be bought with money, as long as you have enough spirit stones, getting the first place is not difficult.

It would have been fine if you hadn't told me you were the champion of the Chuanliu City Prodigy Competition. When you did, I almost laughed out loud.

"Clap clap clap!"

Zhao Kangping clapped his hands perfunctorily and said with a joking look, "Then you are great!"

Do I have to give you a little red flower?

Although the girl was young and inexperienced, she still heard the sarcasm in Zhao Kangping's voice.

This made her a little annoyed. The girl was used to being spoiled at home. All the elders in the family spoiled her, and all the servants were afraid of her.

Once, she was dueling with a young servant at home, and the servant, being careless, accidentally injured her. She immediately ordered his hands and feet to be chopped off and he thrown out of the city.

No one had ever dared to look down on her like this. So he had to be punished.

"Uncle Liu." The girl just called out, and the protector behind her immediately understood.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and immediately released the pressure of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, hoping to force Zhao Kangping and the others to surrender.

However, the pressure he exerted was like a drop in the ocean; the two men across from him remained motionless. The middle-aged monk was astonished. He knew he had overestimated himself and had hit a wall.

Zhao Kangping immediately released the pressure of the late Nascent Soul stage to fight back.

Although they are all Nascent Souls, there are differences in strength between them.

Mr. Zhao overcame the Nascent Soul Tribulation again, but endured nine heavenly thunders, which was equivalent to the treatment of a world protagonist.

What's more, he is in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Then the pressure he released hit the middle-aged male cultivator, sending him flying. After landing, the man spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, Zhao Kangping also held back. He was about to take office as the city lord and did not want to be stained with blood at this critical juncture.

The middle-aged male cultivator stood up with difficulty. He knew that his strength was far inferior to Zhao Kangping's, so he immediately admitted his weakness and said, "Who are you? My young lady is ignorant. I am willing to apologize to you on her behalf."

Zhao Kangping held his head high and said, "I will never change my name, and I will never change my surname. I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan."

Chapter 173 There is no Nangong Yue in the world

Changshan should be a place name, right?

But how come he had never heard of it? After searching his brain, the protector did not find the corresponding place.

The protector appeared to be submissive, but he just wanted to endure it temporarily.

Wait until the family finds out the other party's background, and then take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

When the little girl saw that her protectors were no match for Zhao Kangping, she immediately backed down.

This was the first time she had ever been humiliated, despite being so arrogant and domineering. She was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she stammered incoherently, "No, don't kill me. I'll give you my hairpin back."

The girl was so scared that she threw the hairpin to Zhao Kangping, and then she ran away without paying any attention to the guardian uncle. It can be said that she was very selfish.

Zhao Kangping didn't kill him, and the middle-aged man quickly got up and ran away.

"Young cultivators today are truly not as good as they used to be. They still need to hide behind adults. Such people are not worthy of the title of genius."

Many people say that each generation in the world of cultivating immortals is worse than the previous one, and he has a deep understanding of this now.

The so-called guardians of the path should be protecting in secret, and only take action when the immature genius is truly in danger. It's not like someone will just follow him everywhere. Even if this naughty child grows up, he will probably be a giant baby.

"Master, why don't you teach that woman a lesson?" Wan Baiyi, who was as invisible as a little girl, suddenly spoke up. If she hadn't spoken, Zhao Kangping would have almost forgotten her existence.

"Is it fun to bully the weak?" Zhao Kangping simply replied.

There is an unwritten rule in the world of immortal cultivation that older cultivators cannot bully younger ones at will.

Although this rule is not applicable in many emergency situations, this is a city and a civilized society, so he just gave the protector a lesson.

"Aunt Yun, look at this hairpin." He handed the hairpin to Aunt Yun beside him.

While taking the hairpin, Nangong Ruyun's slender fingers accidentally touched his hand.

Her whole body trembled slightly as if she had been electrocuted, but she quickly concealed it.

After carefully examining the hairpin in her hand, she felt that it was just so-so. The material and style looked okay at first glance, but after playing with it in her hand, she realized it wasn't what she wanted.

Moreover, the spell on it that constantly improves women's body coldness has little effect on her cold poison problem, and it is not even as comfortable as the moment she touched Ping'er's palm.

Nangong Ruyun lowered her eyelids and said, "I found that it's not the style I like."

As she said this, she put the hairpin back on the shelf.

But the corners of her mouth rose again. Ping'er's original intention of teaching the little girl a lesson was for her, which made her feel warm in her heart.

"Then Aunt Yun, you can continue to choose, and I will pay the bill." Zhao Kangping looked around the shelves with his hands behind his back.

Nangong Ruyun: "Is it really okay for you to offend the Shen family like this?"

Zhao Kangping: "Even if I don't provoke them, I guess they will still cause trouble for me."

After coming out of the He family manor, he had a premonition that it would not be easy for him to secure the position of city lord.

There will definitely be a lot of open and covert attacks in the future.

Finally, Nangong Ruyun and Wan Baiyi each picked out a hairpin. When they walked out of the accessories area and entered the clothing area, Zhao Kangping asked, "Auntie Yun, do you want to look at some more clothes?"

Nangong Ruyun took a casual glance and shook her head, saying, "The clothes here are not as nice as those in the Xianyi Pavilion. It's a pity that the Xianyi Pavilion was destroyed in the last turmoil."

Speaking of Xianyi Pavilion, Zhao Kangping felt secretly sorry, because the clothing designs there were much bolder and more avant-garde, but it is gone now, and he doesn't know whether it has been rebuilt.

Although Yanzhi Pavilion also sells clothes for female cultivators, the styles are too conservative. Nangong Ruyun looked around but couldn't find the type she liked.

Then the three of them came out of Yanzhi Pavilion after buying things.

"Ping'er, I don't want to go back to Xianyun Sect." Nangong Ruyun said abruptly.

Zhao Kangping was stunned for a moment. He suspected he had misheard. He said, "Huh? Aunt Yun, do you want to spend more time playing? Don't worry, leave it to me. I guarantee you'll have a great time. When we've had enough fun, I'll personally take you back to Xianyun Sect."

Nangong Ruyun shook her head: "But I don't want to go back. I'm not happy in Xianyun Sect. I don't have much time left. I want to live for myself."

To her, Xianyun Sect was more like a big cage that trapped her and prevented her from escaping.

Zhao Kangping suddenly understood something.

When she was young, Aunt Yun was not as quiet as she is now.

On the contrary, he is very lively and active and likes to travel around.

Especially before she became the Holy Maiden of Xianyun Sect, she would often sneak out to play.

Because of this, she got to know his mother and Lan Ruoyu.

But since she became a saint, she has had to take on the responsibilities of the sect, and she must force herself to change.

Especially before and after the civil unrest in Xianyun Sect, she was under a lot of pressure. In that turmoil that almost overthrew Xianyun Sect, many of her good sisters died. What kind of pain did she go through as a survivor?

She was indeed living a very tiring life, and he understood part of her feelings.

However, he was still a little worried, so he said, "Auntie Yun should really consider yourself, but your apprentice will be reluctant to leave you."

"My apprentice? But I don't have any apprentice." Nangong Ruyun tilted her head in confusion.

"Eh? Don't you have a disciple named Nangong Yue?"

He remembered very clearly that in the original novel, Sect Leader Nangong had a disciple named Nangong Yue, who was a very popular character in the book, even more popular than the protagonist Luo Xueqing, which was a source of regret for many readers.

Her sudden sacrifice once caused many readers to send razor blades to the author.

Aunt Yun actually said that such an important person did not exist.

It's like buying instant noodles without a seasoning packet. How can anyone accept it?

"Who told you that? I have never accepted any apprentice." The beautiful blue-haired woman had a big question mark on her head, not understanding what her nephew meant.

After Zhao Kangping was sure that Aunt Yun was not joking, his head started to buzz.

What's happening here?

Aunt Yun is not someone who likes to joke.

Whether she was lively in the past or calm now, she doesn't like to joke around. Not only does she not like to joke around, she also doesn't like others joking around with her.

Did the plot deviate?

However, according to the development of the original novel, Aunt Yun should have accepted an apprentice while she was away more than 20 years ago.

How come such a great Nangong Yue is gone?

Could it be that besides the fact that he didn't die, the development of this world has deviated from the trajectory of the original work in other ways?

However, Zhao Kangping did not dwell on this topic for too long.

He continued, "What are Aunt Yun's plans for the future?"

"You are about to become the city lord. Aunt Yun, can I ask you for a place to live?" Nangong Ruyun felt that if she did nothing else but just stood beside him, the cold poison in her body would become much calmer.

Although the Yangyan Flower suppressed the cold poison, it did not solve the problem of the cold poison.

When she was with him, the number of times she shivered due to coldness was significantly reduced.

But she also felt that what she said could easily be misunderstood.

Ask him for a place to live? Could it be that he wants to live with him in the City Lord's Mansion?

Although she was his elder, they were not truly related, and living together like this would still lead to gossip. She changed the subject and said, "Ping'er, can you find a place to live in Chuanliu City? It doesn't have to be too big, just enough for me to live in."

When she said this, Zhao Kangping immediately thought of the courtyard house he had just bought.

"Oh, Aunt Yun, it just so happens that I have an apartment in Chuanliu City. I can accompany you to take a look. If you don't mind, you can live there." As he said that, Zhao Kangping was about to lead the way.

Nangong Ruyun smiled and said, "How could I dislike it? Since you bought it, I'm willing to live here no matter what."

"Ahem!" The little girl who seemed to be standing aside suddenly cleared her throat.

Zhao Kangping immediately remembered that he had said before leaving that he would make her something delicious. He almost forgot about it.

So he said, "Aunt Yun, this is your first time in my house. I'll go buy some food and we can sit down and have a meal together."

The beautiful blue-haired woman nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Then he went to the nearby vegetable market to buy some ingredients and prepared to return to the courtyard.

Just then, two pairs of eyes across the street saw him.

"Princess, that seems to be Luo Xueqing's master?" Lian sent a message to Ji Miaoyan who was standing beside her.

The two women happened to be staying in a nearby inn. When they were strolling on the street, they saw Zhao Kangping with the two women.

She knew one of them, and she seemed to have some impression of the other one, but she couldn't remember who it was?

"Strange, does he know Sect Master Nangong?" In Ji Miaoyan's impression, Nangong Ruyun was a bad woman.

The Nangong Ruyun she saw had her heart replaced with the tumor.

In that timeline, Nangong Ruyun did a lot of bad things.

For example, Sect Leader Nangong became a terrifying monster. Her cultivation method was extremely bloody and cruel, and she needed to devour a large number of cultivators to increase her strength.

Afterwards, many monks disappeared.

At first, Luo Xueqing, Nangong Yue and she participated in the investigation of these disappearances together.
