I'm not a drama god

"Don't stop me! I'm going to patrol the gate of Chengtian Academy! I heard the Han family's daughter studies there, maybe I'll even have a chance..."

"Brother Zhao, with your Zhao family's current influence, you're still a long way from becoming a Duke, aren't you?"

"So what? What if the Han family's daughter falls for me at first sight?"

"hehe."

"why are you laughing?"

"Laugh at your Zhao family, producing such a fool! Everyone else is thinking about how to squeeze more money out of the palace, how to open more shops on Xuanwu Avenue... but you, all you think about is women!"

"you!!"

"Brother Sun, I heard that your father has been making a name for himself in the South China Sea prison lately, reaping quite a bit of profit... It seems that your Sun family is about to rise to prominence again?"

"Heh, stop playing dumb. Which of your families has a clean record? You say my father is skimming profits, do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, then shut up!"

"Brother Sun, you'd better be careful later... With your fancy but ineffective martial arts, if you really run into some bad guys, you'll probably be the first to turn around and run away, right?"

"Hmph, my family will naturally send people to protect me secretly, you don't need to worry about it!"

"Alright, now that we're all members of the Xuanwu Avenue Guard, let's keep quiet and not ruin the harmony..."

"..."

These figures in black robes strolled casually down the steps of Chengtian Mansion, mocking and taunting each other, spreading out on the street like a spider web, reaching every corner of Xuanwu Avenue.

at the same time,

A figure draped in a theatrical robe slowly stepped onto Xuanwu Avenue.

Even though it was late at night, Xuanwu Avenue was still bustling with people. Many pedestrians moved along the wide black road, and not many people noticed the red-clad actor who was silently walking towards them...

He walked quietly among them, like a splash of crimson in a chaotic torrent, out of place in this world.

Behind him, Lee Ryder followed closely.

Although Li Laid appeared calm, he was somewhat nervous inside. Ever since he was wanted, he had been hiding in the shadows of the Chengtian Realm, and it had been far too long since he had walked openly on such a bustling street...

As he walked, he could already feel several gazes directed at him; it seemed that someone in the surging crowd had already noticed him.

You must know that this is the Xuanwu Avenue, the vital artery of the Chengtian Realm... This place is full of hidden dragons and tigers, and countless high-ranking officials of the dynasty live here. Once he is besieged here, it will be almost impossible for him to escape alive.

Li Laide wanted to remind Chen Ling, but seeing the calm figure in the opera robe ahead, he ultimately remained silent.

Forget it...

He said he wouldn't be noticed, so he won't be noticed... At worst, I'll just pay back the life I owe him.

Just then, a commotion not far away caught Lee Ryder's attention.

Suddenly, the surging crowd parted to reveal a small area where countless figures were pointing and gesturing in one direction.

Lee Ryder was curious. He squinted and looked into the crowd...

The next second, he froze on the spot.

Amidst the surrounding crowd, a figure, charred black and with his hands transformed into grotesque mechanical fragments, limped along the street. Covered in blood, as if he had just survived a fierce battle, his bloodshot eyes stared fixedly in the direction of the Imperial Historian…

It's him?

Didn't he go to rescue his sister?

When Li Lai saw Li Shangfeng, for some reason, the script that Chen Ling had just written immediately came to mind... The appearance of the man in front of him was exactly the same as the one described at the end of the script.

Is it a coincidence?

still is……

"What's wrong with this guy?!"

"I don't know... It smells burnt, it stinks."

"Why are his hands like that? They look terrifying... Get away from him!"

"How could such a strange person appear on Xuanwu Avenue... Where are the people from Chengtian Prefecture? Why haven't they come yet?"

"..."

Amidst the clamor of the crowd, an arrogant young man dressed in black pushed his way through the throng and arrived.

"What's going on? What are you all doing gathered here?" the young man asked impatiently. When he saw Li Shangfeng in the crowd, he was startled and stared at him suspiciously for a long time...

"who are you?!"

"My name is Li Shangfeng." Li Shangfeng was already prepared and answered loudly, "Tai Shi Si Brand sent people to kidnap my sister and burn down my repair shop. I'm going to find him and demand justice!"

Li Shangfeng knew very well that it was almost impossible for him to defeat the Imperial Observatory on his own... It would be better to kill him than to swallow his anger and actually become a dog for these villains who had kidnapped his sister.

Therefore, his only option was to escalate the matter to such an extent that even the Imperial Observatory could not suppress it...

Only in this way can he have a chance of survival.

Imperial Observatory?

Upon hearing these three words, the young man's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Imperial Historian had a good relationship with the Sun family, and Li Lande often visited their home with gifts... He was considered a guest of honor of the father.

Hearing this strange man accuse the Imperial Observatory right off the bat, the young man felt a strange sense of satisfaction rising within him...

He was just a rich kid, and normally he wouldn't be able to help his family much. But now he was a guard of Xuanwu Avenue, and this person in front of him just happened to be accusing the Grand Historian. Wasn't he just running right into the trap?

He didn't care about justice or right or wrong. He had worked hard to get this position, so of course he had to show his family his worth.

"You madman! Your words are incoherent. Are you perhaps mentally unstable?" the young man shouted even louder.

"What kind of entity is the Imperial Observatory? Would they target your run-down auto repair shop and even kidnap your sister? I saw you carrying a weapon on the street; you're probably some kind of thug trying to disrupt the order of Xuanwu Avenue... Guards! Take him away! Interrogate him thoroughly!!"

At the young man's command, several figures emerged from the surrounding crowd, grabbed Li Shangfeng's hands and feet, and forcefully locked him in place.

Li Shangfeng didn't expect that before he could do anything, the guards of Xuanwu Avenue would arrest him directly... He immediately struggled fiercely!

"what are you doing?!"

"I neither injured anyone nor disrupted the order of Xuanwu Avenue! On what grounds are you detaining me?!"

"Everything I said is true!! The assassin that Brand sent died in the power plant to the east! Isn't your Chengtian Prefecture the best at solving cases? Why don't you send someone to investigate? Then you'll understand everything!"

"Let me go! I'm not talking nonsense!! I'm telling the truth!! Let me go!!!"
