After passing through the cannon fodder in the book, my brother turned out to be the male protagonis

Once outside the room, the maids tried to follow Qu Ziyuan, but he covered his forehead and angrily scolded them: "Kneel here! Get up only when Miss calls you."

Pei Hu stepped forward and asked, "Young Master's forehead was hit by Fellow Daoist Fang?"

Qu Ziyuan didn't answer, but glared at him fiercely and said, "This is the terrible idea you came up with. This is not the result I wanted!"

"What happened today was just an accident. Fellow Daoist Fang will calm down in a few days."

"Get over it? How many days will it take? I shouldn't have agreed to your plan in the first place. If I had, Miss wouldn't have kicked me out too." Qu Ziyuan said with deep regret.

Lin's attendant stepped out from the corner and sneered, "If we don't do this, do you think she'll still remember you when she returns to the cultivation world? Besides, do you think you two will ever meet again?"

“As long as I don’t become the young master and go back to the cultivation world with her, we can…” Before Qu Ziyuan could finish speaking, Lin Sui interrupted him, shattering his illusions: “Go back? Young master, you were in the same sect with her for so long before, did you make any progress?”

Qu Ziyuan fell silent, then heard Lin Sui continue, "In the cultivation world, you are just an ordinary cultivator with no background. Moreover, you won't be able to continue cultivating after you go back. What will you use to compete with the other people who admire her?"

He thought of Mo Xun from the Lingyun Sect, and a sense of inferiority welled up inside him. Lin Sui was right; he was indeed nothing in the cultivation world. But just thinking about how the young lady had yelled at him to get out today made his heart feel like it was being pierced by countless sharp swords. He wanted to please her, he wanted her to rely on him wholeheartedly, he wanted to hear her call his name with a smile, he wanted... her to like him.

“If the young master wants to ease tensions, why don’t you take Fellow Daoist Fang out of the house for a stroll?” Pei Hu suddenly said.

Lin Sui and Qu Ziyuan both looked at him. Qu Ziyuan frowned and said disapprovingly, "Miss reacted so strongly to today's test. If we really take Miss out of the room, do you want her to hate me even more?"

Pei Hu shook his head and explained, "That's not the case. If, in a dangerous situation, Fellow Daoist Fang, only the young master is by your side..."

Qu Ziyuan lowered his eyes in deep thought. The thought of Fang Jingqiu curling up in his arms out of fear made his blood boil, and he uncontrollably started bleeding from his nose.

The next day, as Fang Jingqiu was wondering when Qu Ziyuan would appear, the door was violently pushed open by Lin Sui and his men. They came in and walked straight towards her, lifting her wheelchair and heading out of the house. Fang Jingqiu struggled desperately, punching the men around her.

After several people carried her out of the house, Fang Jingqiu curled up and asked in a trembling voice, "What are you going to do now? I've been very good. I didn't want to run away. I want to go back, back to the house! Let me go back!"

Lin Sui looked down at Fang Jingqiu and said disdainfully, "I thought cultivators favored by the Heavenly Dao were all tough, but I didn't expect them to back down just because of a broken leg?"

Fang Jingqiu lowered her head and huddled into a ball as much as possible. All she could hear was laughter and insults. She didn't know how much time had passed until a voice came. He chased away the laughing crowd, squatted down to her eye level, and gently patted her back to comfort her, saying, "It's alright, Miss. I've chased them away. I'll stay by your side."

After some comforting words, Qu Ziyuan clearly felt that the person in front of him was gradually calming down. He cupped Fang Jingqiu's face in his hands and saw that she had bitten her lip out of fear. He felt a pang of heartache and gently ran his fingers over her lips, asking, "Miss, does it hurt?"

Fang Jingqiu did not answer. Instead, he explained to himself, "It wasn't that I didn't keep the appointment that day. They took it upon themselves to impersonate me and deceive you. They also told me that the entrance to the Demon Realm had been closed by Shi Hanfeng and the others. I have been searching for ways to open the entrance to the Demon Realm these days. All I found was that, according to the ancient book, only the Demon Lord's Golden Seal can open the entrance to the Demon Realm again."

She listened quietly to him, quickly analyzing in her mind how credible Qu Ziyuan's words were. When she estimated that her emotions were ready, she slowly asked, "If I help you become the Demon Lord, can you stop hitting me?"

Qu Ziyuan's heart clenched, and he assured her, "I will not let Miss get hurt again. Once I open the entrance to the Demon Realm, I will send Miss out to see my brother."

Upon hearing the word "get out," Fang Jingqiu flinched. Qu Ziyuan quickly patted her back to comfort her. Pei Hu and Lin Sui, who were hiding in the shadows, exchanged glances, their eyes revealing the smugness of their successful scheme.

Fang Jingqiu sneered inwardly, plotting her future. She wouldn't trust anyone in the Demon Realm, and sooner or later she would find a chance to leave this place.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Fang Yiqin had just finished slaying the demonic beast when he received a mission from the Heavenly Mystery Hall. He activated the jade with his spiritual power, and the mission details appeared before him. After glancing at the mission, he found that he had to investigate a small sect called Tongdaomen. He turned to leave, but the cultivators who had fought the demonic beast with him asked him, "Hey! You're leaving already?"

"I have a mission." Fang Yiqin didn't want to answer him any further and said without turning his head.

The cultivator behind him curled his lip, not intending to try to keep him any longer. After all, it was just a temporary team formed for a mission, so it was good that Fang Yiqin left. This way, the demon beast's inner core would be all his.

Fang Yiqin glanced at the map and found that Tongdao Sect was not far from him. He decided to go slowly. In the past two years, Tianji Hall had not sent any news about the Demon Realm, and he had not encountered any demons while on missions. He was very anxious.

Baili Chunqiu saw that the figure in front of him looked very much like Fang Yiqin, so he called out uncertainly. The person turned around, and sure enough, it was Fang Yiqin, who had not returned to the sect for a long time.

Unexpectedly encountering Baili Chunqiu here, Fang Yiqin asked, "Senior Brother Baili, what brings you here?"

"My sister is training around here." As soon as he said this, Baili Chunqiu realized his mistake and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Fang."

Knowing that the person in front of him did not do it on purpose, Fang Yiqin waved his hand and said, "Since Senior Brother Baili has other important matters to attend to, I will not disturb you any longer."

Just as the two were about to part ways, they both felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy. Baili Chunqiu saw that the direction from which the spiritual energy came was where his sister was, so he immediately used his spiritual energy to rush over there. Fang Yiqin thought for a moment and decided to follow and see.

Upon arriving at the scene, they saw a group of people protecting the girl in the middle. Opposite them was a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. His eyes were clearly bluish-black, and his body looked weak and powerless, yet he was suppressing the people opposite him.

Baili Chunqiu was about to rush out when Fang Yiqin stopped him and said, "Observe the situation first before you go out."

“The one surrounded in the middle is my sister,” Baili Chunqiu said.

Fang Yiqin immediately let go, urging him to hurry over.
