Chapter 7: Chapter 7: He Took My Script

Xu Ziqing, one of the four main characters in “Borrowed Sword”.

He is not even 1.7 meters tall, with a baby face and delicate features.

At this moment, as he is in a rush, his face is slightly flushed, making him look even more attractive, full of charm and vibrancy.

Right now, the four people from the Patrol Office have him thoroughly blocked, refusing to let him through no matter how much he explains, bombarding him with questions.

One of them even suggested they stop talking and just take him back first.

“Midnight is approaching.” Xu Ziqing gripped the umbrella handle slightly tighter.

He didn’t want to miss out on such a great opportunity.

Just a few days ago, he met a storyteller.

The storyteller told him that at midnight tonight, he should go to Biyou Plateau at the foot of Wumeng Mountain, and someone would come to guide him to join the Daoist Sect!

After saying this, the ordinary-looking storyteller disappeared without a trace.

Undoubtedly, this was a powerful cultivator!

And as a Mirror Country person, who wouldn’t yearn for the Daoist Sect?

It was one of the Four Great Sects of the East Continent Mirror Country and was even the top of the Four Great Sects in the past!

Moreover… the legendary sword is also in the Daoist Sect!

Therefore, Xu Ziqing has been on the road these past few days, enduring hardships along the way.

Tonight, although it was pouring rain, it did not affect his passionate heart in the slightest.

“I want to join the Daoist Sect, I want to practice the sword, become a Sword Cultivator!”

The storyteller had instructed him not to arrive at Biyou Plateau too early, only a stick of incense’s time in advance at most, but he must not be late, so Xu Ziqing was working on a tight schedule.

“Opportunities require the right timing, I understand this.” Xu Ziqing felt he understood very well.

The problem was he couldn’t figure out why he would encounter patrol officers in the middle of the night.

Midnight is almost here! Midnight!

Moreover, from their conversation just now, someone they don’t like from the Patrol Office had just died in this dense forest tonight?

“Who would commit murder on a rainy night like this!” Fearful of missing out on the opportunity, Xu Ziqing instantly came to hate such a person.

Although the Mirror Country Court is in decline, the Four Great Sects dominate the East Continent, but no matter how decline it is, it is still the Court!

Daring to kill someone from the Patrol Office?

—Is there no law!?

As time ticked by, he only wanted to break free.

Eventually, under the hint of one of them, Xu Ziqing gave all the silver taels he had on him, and only then did they let him go.

The delicate young man walked forward a few steps with an umbrella, only to hear the four behind him conversing openly without any reservations.

“Tsk tsk tsk, this delicate pretty boy, Xue Hu would surely love him.” One of them said, with a mischievous chuckle.

“Then why did you let him go? If Xue Hu likes this type, wouldn’t that make him more suspicious?” another asked with a deep voice.

“It definitely wasn’t him, I just went over and checked. Though most of the footprints have been washed away by the rain, there was a deep one, likely from a heavy step forward. It’s much larger than his shoes.”

“Then why did you…”

“It’s late, it’s raining like hell, and the one who died is that dog Xue Hu, so we couldn’t just leave empty-handed.” That person tossed the money bag in his hand.

“Haha, hahaha!” The four laughed heartily, without a care.

Xu Ziqing, walking quickly forward, gritted his teeth in anger, gripping the umbrella handle even harder.

“Damn court!” he cursed inwardly.

“Killing those from the Patrol Office, well done! They deserve it!”

Xu Ziqing began to walk faster and faster, speeding up.

Once he was further away, he started running wildly, throwing away the umbrella as he ran.

The reason Xu Ziqing didn’t immediately run was his fear that those bastards from the Patrol Office might become suspicious of him again and actually take him back for interrogation.

“There’s still time, I must make it in time!” Xu Ziqing ran faster and faster, exerting all his strength.

When he arrived at the largest tree in Biyou Plateau, there was still a moment before midnight.

“I’m not late, I’m not late…” he panted heavily, his face slightly pale, drenched to the skin.

“At midnight, a cultivator would come to meet me, right?” His heart was aflame.

…

…

Reluctantly, the young man swore at Biyou Plateau that he must join the Daoist Sect.

The scheming man in the sky felt speechless, “I really didn’t want to join the Daoist Sect.”

Chu Huaixu currently had an unclear identity, and he would rather join the famously more peculiar Spring and Autumn Mountain among the Four Great Sects than the Daoist Sect.

When he played “Borrowed Sword”, his sect was Spring and Autumn Mountain.

Though there were many perverts there, he still managed to thrive, occasionally wondering if he was a latent pervert himself.

“Being one of the Four Great Sects, Spring and Autumn Mountain is no weaker than the Daoist Sect.”

“Moreover, I’m more familiar with it, I could seize many opportunities.”

“From a development perspective, the only downside is that both main characters of the East Continent are in the Daoist Sect.”

Players on the forums had discussed it, making it apparent that in the future storyline, the Daoist Sect is likely to regain its top position among the Four Great Sects.

The long-legged beauty Han Shuangjiang in front of him, hugging her beautiful legs, could indeed help him soar high.

Just then, a system notification sounded in his ear: “[Ding! You have successfully evaded the pursuit from the Patrol Office. Task completed, you have received an experience points reward of 100.]”

Chu Huaixu was flying in the air, feeling utterly frustrated: “Flying so high, of course, I damn well evaded it!”

He felt this Task System was dumb and began to miss the AI customer service he had previously trained to be flirtatious.

Besides, he had just secretly observed Li Chunsong and Han Shuangjiang, to confirm whether the system prompt was only audible to him.

Reassured, he let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

“After all, I am crossing worlds, it must be different from playing the game before, better be safe than sorry.” Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

He was always a flashy player, but deep down he was cautious and meticulous.

In fact, had he not been cautious and meticulous, this virtual male model wouldn’t have managed to navigate between various female bosses successfully.

He even dared to take jobs from twin sisters, maintaining both relationships well.

After all, if you love someone, you should love all of her, including her sisters.

At this moment, Chu Huaixu was beginning to suspect Li Chunsong might have made a mistake.

“In that exposure post, it was mentioned that Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing were brought back to the Daoist Sect by Li Chunsong.”

“Together, together, together…,” Chu Huaixu began pondering these words, once more glancing at Han Shuangjiang beside him.

He started getting an ominous feeling, and a faint guess formed within him.

“Damn! I’ve become a ’main character’!”

…

…

Chu Huaixu suspected he had taken someone else’s script.

“I can only take it one step at a time now,” he thought.

He just wasn’t sure where Xu Ziqing was now or what he was doing.

Suddenly, a deep sense of fatigue began to engulf him.

The unexpected transmigration had already left him unsettled, having no sense of belonging in this world.

Then, everything that continued to happen in the rainy night, event after event.

Fortunately, he was always bold yet cautious, so he didn’t feel overly powerless, just exhausted.

“After all, I haven’t told you anything, I only answered with my name, if anything happens, it’s your own responsibility,” Chu Huaixu thought, gazing at the back of Li Chunsong in mid-air in front of him.

At this moment, he only hoped that all this could be a beautiful misunderstanding and not a terrible mishap.

He was even thinking he might as well let it all go.

After all, his “identity” surely had issues, as Xue Hu said, his purpose here was to infiltrate the Daoist Sect.

“Then haven’t I successfully infiltrated!”

There are no absolutely optimistic people in the world, only those who can look past things easily.

The location of the Daoist Sect is called Beyond the Mountain, not a name of a mountain itself, but a collective name for many mountains.

Beyond the Mountain is shrouded in mist, which is actually the Mountain Protection Array, known to be impervious even to Eighth Realm experts.

With an Elder Token at his waist, Li Chunsong could naturally bring people in and out freely.

The three of them thus landed in front of a courtyard in the Outer Mountain.
