Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

Three days have passed and the trial ranking will be announced today.

At the same time, Xie Yanshu and the champion of this trial will also select candidates from among the sect disciples to go down the mountain to train with them.

The wound on Shen Zhaozhao's forehead had healed. When she arrived at the Fanyang Palace, the entrance to the palace was already crowded with disciples of the sect.

Everyone arrived early, hoping to occupy a prominent position and be chosen by luck.

Shen Zhaozhao stood silently at the end of the team, listening absentmindedly to Elder Ziyuan announcing the rankings.

She already knew what the outcome would be today. It wasn't her turn, so there was no need for her to stand in front.

Now she just wanted to go back and have a nap, and then start practicing properly.

I do not know how long it has been.

Shen Zhaozhao was already lost in thought. She didn't pay any attention to what was going on in the hall, but suddenly she felt like a thorn in her back.

She looked up and found herself surrounded by eyes.

Why are they all looking at her? She doesn't understand.

At this moment, Elder Ziyuan on the stage glanced at her, and then read out loudly: "The last one, Shen Zhaozhao."

Shen Zhaozhao: “…”

She was eliminated on the first day without catching any monsters.

Suddenly, Shen Zhaozhao became the focus of the whole audience, and people around her were whispering and talking about her in low voices.

"She always comes in last. I don't know how she feels comfortable doing that."

"Who told me that my father is Elder Qingxuan?"

"Hasn't Elder Qingxuan already... Why should she enjoy special treatment?"

"You are stupid. Elder Qingxuan is gone, and you don't even know who Senior Brother Xie is to her."

"Hey, I think Senior Brother Xie doesn't care much about her. I heard that Shen Zhaozhao asked Senior Brother Xie to take her to practice a few days ago, but Senior Brother Xie didn't agree."

People are numb.

Shen Zhaozhao gritted her teeth and couldn't help but wonder what she would do if she encountered this situation in her previous life?

She did encounter it in her previous life, but she hadn’t awakened yet at that time.

At that time, she was extremely sad and angry, and she made a big fuss in the hall.

Her master, Elder Ziyuan, criticized her severely and punished her to go to the back mountain to reflect on her mistakes facing the wall.

Now, she just glanced at those people indifferently. She had experienced it once before, so it was no big deal.

In this life, she was reborn when she was seventeen years old.

Although she is still so ignorant, arrogant and domineering in the eyes of everyone, she has not yet started to do anything to destroy the relationship between the male and female protagonists.

Moreover, she seemed to no longer be constrained by the character settings in the book, so she could act differently from her previous life.

This is a very good thing for her. She wants to practice well and be a good person.

She wanted to change not just for herself, but because her father had been upright and honest throughout his life and was loved by everyone.

She couldn't let people think of his vicious and useless daughter first when they mentioned Elder Qingxuan.

The reason why Shen Zhaozhao's personality became as described in the book is, on the one hand, related to the character setting; on the other hand, it has to do with the environment in which she grew up.

Since her father passed away, few people have taken care of her.

Later, she became a talisman practitioner under the tutelage of Elder Ziyuan.

However, she had very poor aptitude and her cultivation progress was slow. Her master regarded her as dispensable and her fellow disciples looked down on her.

At first, when Shen Zhaozhao realized that her fellow students disliked her, she cried and complained to Xie Yanshu.

He simply asked calmly, "Elder Ziyuan is gentle and kind to others, and the disciples of the sect are friendly to others. Why is it that only you can't get along well with them?"

He felt that Shen Zhaozhao was too willful, and she was indeed like that, unreasonable and prone to throwing tantrums.

Gradually, Shen Zhaozhao turned into a hedgehog, becoming more sharp and mean.

Now that she has the ability to change, that's a good thing.

"Quiet." Elder Ziyuan knocked on the table to stop the noise.

Xie Yanshu had already walked onto the stage, frowning slightly, and seemed a little dissatisfied with the noise.

The sect's disciples have always regarded Xie Yanshu as a role model. When they saw him come on stage, everyone quieted down and the hall was suddenly silent.

Xie Yanshu announced that the person who would be traveling with him this time was his junior fellow student who won the competition—Zhou Ziyan.

Everyone was in an uproar, and the unsuccessful Qingwei Sect disciple looked at Shen Zhaozhao again with accusatory eyes.

If Shen Zhaozhao had not tried to use a back door and asked for Senior Brother Xie's companion quota in advance, Senior Brother Xie would have made his selection from among them today.

How could it be Zhou Ziyan’s turn?

Elder Ziyuan knocked on the table again, cleared her throat, and said, "The leader of this trial is Chu Yu, he killed the human-faced red spider!"

The scene became increasingly chaotic, with discussions breaking out one after another.

The mission of this trial is to kill monsters. Whoever has the most monsters will win. If you can subdue the human-faced red spider, you will become the champion directly.

"Why is it him?" everyone was surprised.

Chu Yu is just a young boy who has just joined the sect. How can he subdue the human-faced red spider?

There are many monsters in the trial secret realm, and you may die here if you are not careful.

The most powerful monster is the eighth-level monster - the human-faced red spider.

It is equivalent to the late Nascent Soul stage for cultivators, and among all the disciples in the sect, only Xie Yanshu has reached the Nascent Soul stage.

"Why can't it be him? Do you think everyone is as good-for-nothing as you?" someone in the crowd retorted.

The person who spoke was Chu Yu's senior sister He Shuhui. Both of them were disciples of the sword cultivator Elder Yuan Ming.

She believed that her junior brother was extremely talented. He had reached the Golden Core Stage from having no foundation within just three years of entering the sect.

Moreover, the junior brother has a handsome face and a graceful figure, and is even more handsome than senior brother Xie.

The most important thing is that the little junior brother is sweet-spoken and lovely. He respects teachers and unites his fellow disciples. He is a well-deserved good junior brother.

In short, in her opinion, the junior brother is good in every way, so it is not surprising that he wins the first place.

Seeing the young man appear on the stage, Shen Zhaozhao opened his eyes wide and his pupils were shocked.

She actually saw a familiar and unexpected figure here and now.

You are not mistaken. The boy’s hair is tied up high with a blue ribbon. He wears a blue sect robe and a gold silk ribbon with auspicious pattern of rising clouds tied around his waist. Hanging on it is a jade talisman that symbolizes his identity as a disciple of the Qingwei Sect!

Why is he here?

Shen Zhaozhao racked his brains to recall what happened here in his previous life.

She didn't remember the rest of the plot clearly, but the following was the most vivid in her mind:

Here, Xie Yanshu publicly chose others to go down the mountain for training. She was ridiculed by her fellow disciples and became furious, causing a big commotion in the Fanyang Palace.

But she was sure that the young man who was very familiar to her in her previous life did not appear here.

In fact, he did not become a disciple of Qingwei Sect.

How did the plot in the book change?

"Who will Chu Yu choose?" Elder Ziyuan said softly.

She has always valued talent. This young man has excellent physique and extraordinary comprehension, and is a good candidate for seeking immortality and attaining enlightenment.

Chu Yu began to select people seriously. He looked around, his eyes fell on a certain place, he slowly raised his hand and said, "I choose her."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and Shen Zhaozhao also looked in the direction he pointed.

She looked left and right and found that the fellow disciples who were closer to her before had moved to the side, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

If looks could kill, she would have died countless times...

She pointed her index finger at herself and asked uncertainly, "Me?"

She felt dizzy and didn't understand where the plot was going.

Chu Yu smiled brightly, with faint dimples on the corners of his mouth.

He blinked and said innocently, "Senior Sister, it's you."

"No." Xie Yanshu came up to the stage to object. Although his expression was a little serious, his words were relatively soft.

Chu Yu turned away from looking at Shen Zhaozhao, turned around and asked, "Why not?"

"This training journey is full of dangers. Shen Zhaozhao is only in the foundation-building stage. How can he go?" Xie Yanshu showed a worried look.

Seeing Xie Yanshu frowning, Chu Yu's smile deepened, spreading into his eyes, but turning into icy edges at the corners of his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice slightly raised: "Brother, does the rule say that Foundation Establishment disciples cannot go?"

Yes, the Qi Refining and Foundation Building disciples in the hall came to their senses and expressed their agreement.

The trial is about fairness and justice. No matter what level the sect disciples are at, as long as they win, they can go down the mountain to gain experience. There is no rule that says they cannot choose disciples in the foundation-building stage to travel with them.

"Make way, make way..." Shen Zhaozhao pushed away the people blocking his way and wanted to step forward to ease the weird atmosphere.

Just as she was about to step onto the stage, she heard a thud and fell flat on her face.

Hearing the noise, the two people on the stage looked over at the same time.

Oh, it was so embarrassing that she decided to lie on the ground and act miserable.

Chu Yu walked towards them slowly, and then stopped and squatted down two feet away from Shen Zhaozhao.

His eyes were blazing, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled, saying: "Senior Sister, there is no need to thank me so much."

Shen Zhaozhao's face turned red with anger. Who would thank you like this?

She stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on her body, and said loudly: "I have something to say."

Pretending not to notice Xie Yanshu's slightly warning look, she continued, "Junior brother, thank you for choosing me to go down the mountain with you. I will cherish this opportunity to gain experience."

Anyway, the plot has changed now, so why doesn't she get involved and live her life again? She has to live a more meaningful life.

Even if she couldn't escape the ending the author gave her in the end, at least she couldn't live in a muddle-headed way like she did in her previous life for the next three years.

After getting down the mountain, just work, eat, play, kill, just thinking about it makes me happy.

Chu Yu's eyebrows curved, his eyes innocent: "Brother, Senior Sister Zhao Zhao said she wants to go. Even if she is your fiancée, if you don't choose her, you can't stop others from choosing her."

Xie Yanshu remained silent, not wanting to argue in front of everyone. He looked at Shen Zhaozhao deeply, his face slightly cold, and left in a huff.

Everyone left, leaving only Chu Yu and Shen Zhaozhao in the hall.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Shen Zhaozhao pursed his lips and thought about how to speak: "Brother Chu... Junior Brother Yu, why did you choose me today?"

Chu Yu touched the tip of his nose, thought for a moment, leaned forward, his pupils as black as obsidian: "Among all the fellow disciples today, I think you are the prettiest. Senior sister, can't I choose you?"

Shen Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, pushed Chu Yu away, covered her slightly red face and ran away.

This is the first time someone has praised her for her beauty. This junior brother is quite sensible.

But who could tell her why the stupid cannon fodder who was only briefly mentioned in the book was not only not stupid anymore, but also could speak sweet words?

Could it be that this person is not that person?
