The young man looked at the people in the room and bowed solemnly: "I am Jiang Jinyan, a disciple of Biyun Mountain."

Jiang Jinyan is Gu Qianmeng's distant cousin. When Gu Qianmeng was young, she entered Biyun Mountain. In order to take care of her cousin, he followed her mother to Biyun Mountain to learn skills at her request.

He has always been very caring towards Gu Qianmeng. They both studied under the same master, grew up together, and the flower of love sprouted early.

That day, it was spring, and Jiang Jinyan made an appointment with Gu Qianmeng to go to the peach forest, intending to tell her his love.

Gu Qianmeng also attended the appointment. When she saw him holding flowers in his hands, her delicate face, which she had specially dressed up, blushed and she took the flowers with trembling hands.

Jiang Jinyan was delighted, as his junior sister's reaction showed that she also liked him.

But before he could express his love, Gu Qianmeng's body suddenly stiffened and she fell to the ground.

The bouquet of flowers that he had spent the whole morning picking from various places fell to the ground and was crushed into the mud by his hurried footsteps when he picked up Gu Qianmeng.

After waking up from her dream, Gu Qian stayed alone in her room for several days.

When Jiang Jinyan saw her again, he clearly felt that although Gu Qianmeng was still the same as before, she was very close to him.

But when she looked at him, there was no longer that shy and ambiguous look in her eyes, but instead a little evasive.

He had no choice but to give up and never mentioned Taolin's confession that day.

Not long after, Gu Qianmeng said that she wanted to go on a solo trip. She was one of the few weapon cultivators in Biyun Mountain. Her master and the elders loved her very much and agreed to her somewhat bold request.

Jiang Jinyan has no talent for cultivation, but he is proficient in medicine and can make excellent elixirs.

Before Gu Qianmeng went down the mountain, he gave her all the elixirs he had been refining day and night over the past few days.

This was the only thing he, an unarmed medical practitioner, could do for her.

The connection between Shen Zhaozhao and Jiang Jinyan started the day before the sect competition in their previous life.

Half a year before the competition, Xie Yanshu finished his three-year training and took Gu Qianmeng back to Qingwei Sect first.

Shen Zhaozhao waited hopelessly for Xie Yanshu for three years in Qingwei Sect like a husband-waiting stone, but in the end, he came back with another girl, and it was obvious that they were in love.

Xie Yanshu wanted to cancel the engagement. He had no romantic feelings for Shen Zhaozhao, only a brotherly and sisterly friendship. He could not let Gu Qianmeng down, nor did he want to delay Shen Zhaozhao.

When he was kneeling and saying this to his parents, Shen Zhaozhao happened to hear it outside the door.

How could she bear this?

She went straight to Gu Qianmeng and insulted her harshly.

Facing Shen Zhaozhao's harsh words, Gu Qianmeng was very gentle. She took her hand and sat down, and asked softly, "Miss Shen, do you believe in fate?"

In the novel "Shu Yi", Shen Zhaozhao is just a vicious female supporting role. Unlike her, she has a system and a golden finger that can change her own destiny.

In the next six months, no matter how Shen Zhaozhao picked on Gu Qianmeng, Gu Qianmeng always smiled and responded calmly. The relationship between Xie Yanshu and Gu Qianmeng also became better day by day.

In Gu Qianmeng's opinion, with Shen Zhaozhao's personality, she didn't need to do anything, she had already won.

But Xie Qingyao refused to agree to the cancellation of Xie Yanshu and Shen Zhaozhao's engagement.

He didn't want to break his friend's agreement and be the treacherous person, so he just said that if Xie Yanshu really liked Gu Qianmeng, he would wait until Shen Zhaozhao got married and then take Gu Qianmeng as his concubine.

Of course, this proposal was not only rejected by the younger generation, but also by his wife Fang Ying.

So Gu Qianmeng stayed in Qingwei Sect for half a year as a VIP.

In the spring of the following year, the sect competition held every five years was about to be held. This year, the venue for the competition was chosen to be the Qingwei Sect. Many immortal sects would send disciples from all over the place to come in advance.

Jiang Jinyan also met Gu Qianmeng, whom he hadn't seen for several years.

He couldn't understand why his cousin, with whom he used to have a very close relationship, was now standing next to the person she loved. He could clearly feel that Gu Qianmeng also liked him in the past.

Perhaps it was because he didn't express his feelings early on that they missed each other.

The handsome man next to Gu Qianmeng was the young master of Qingwei Sect and also a leader among the younger generation. He had visited Biyun Mountain several times on behalf of Master Xie.

Jiang Jinyan often heard his master talk about Xie Yanshu as "other people's children" and was very curious about him.

The first time he heard that Xie Yanshu was coming, he pulled Gu Qianmeng behind the screen to secretly watch the young man.

He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was neither humble nor arrogant when talking to the elders, his logic was clear, and his appearance was also quite good, which made him feel inferior invisibly.

You know, every time the master saw him, he always sighed and said that it was a pity that he had great medical skills but could not practice Taoism.

He jokingly asked Gu Qianmeng beside him whether she liked the Young Master Xie whom he had just met. In fact, he was extremely nervous and his face turned red.

At that time, the girl was holding a bouquet of crabapple flowers he gave her, and looked at him with a sweet smile: "That person looks very likable, but I like this one." She raised the crabapple in her hand, without even looking at him, and ran away.

The boy stood there for a long while, not realizing what she meant. By the time he came to his senses, the girl had already run away. He couldn't contain his excitement and chased after her.

Young boys and girls were playing and frolicking on the grass. It was as warm and beautiful as spring.

It was just an ordinary thing at that time, but unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, Gu Qianmeng still fell in love with the man who made her feel inferior when she first met him.

He had no way to vent his sorrow, so he took a pot of wine and went to the flower-viewing pavilion on Fuguang Mountain to drink alone.

At that time, Shen Zhaozhao had just awakened, and she also knew what Gu Qianmeng meant by "destiny" when she said it to her half a year ago.

Love has no order of priority. Xie Yanshu is destined to belong to Gu Qianmeng. She is just a character created by the author to create obstacles for the male and female protagonists.

Outside the plot, the disciples in the sect are preparing for the sect competition. Shen Zhaozhao passes through the busy crowd and goes to Fuguang Mountain alone to relax. He sees disciples wearing moon-white sect uniforms in the pavilion, with the aroma of wine in the air.

She was curious. Tomorrow the sect competition would officially begin, and disciples from all the immortal cultivation sects would have to go on stage to compete. Which disciple would be so bold as to drink alcohol the night before the competition?

When I got closer, I saw that the dark patterns on the hem of the person's moon-white clothes stretched out like leaf veins, and the sleeves and collar were embroidered with branches and leaves. It was the same clothes that Gu Qianmeng wore when she first met Sect Master Xie.

Seeing that it was Gu Qianmeng's fellow disciple, she felt a little unhappy and planned to leave.

The disciple from Biyun Mountain suddenly saw her from behind, mistook her for someone else, and shouted, "Qianmeng, you're here!"

The tone was somewhat ambiguous, and Shen Zhaozhao could not help but remain silent.

When she turned around, she saw disappointment in his eyes, and he was still mumbling, "Yeah, why would she come to see me?"

It seems that it has something to do with Gu Qianmeng.

Shen Zhaozhao was also worried about the fact that he was a character in the book, so he sat down, raised his empty cup, and asked with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, can I have a drink?"

Jiang Jinyan was surprised, his eyes widened, and he asked back: "You, you, you, how do you know my last name is Jiang?"

Shen Zhaozhao stared at his waist and said with amusement: "Doesn't it say on your jade token? Jiang Jinyan."

What a fate, this person is her opponent in tomorrow's competition.

Jiang Jinyan also followed her gaze, touched the back of his head and laughed, "Yeah, hahahaha."

Shen Zhaozhao took off his jade token, handed it to him, and smiled: "My name is Shen Zhaozhao, we are going to compete tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinyan stared at her for a moment, then seemed to think it was impolite and quickly looked away, but he couldn't help but secretly glanced at her a few more times.

Shen Zhaozhao asked: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Jinyan waved his hand and took a sip of wine: "Nothing, nothing."

As soon as the results of today's draw came out, he and several of his fellow disciples checked their opponents in front of the list.

Since he had no cultivation, he usually only practiced some sword techniques and didn't care much about who his opponent was.

No matter who it is, he will definitely not win.

Several Qingwei Sect disciples nearby smiled and said, "Daoyou Jiang, you are so lucky to have drawn Senior Sister Shen."

Jiang Jinyan was puzzled: "Why?"

The disciples looked at each other and burst into laughter: "Our Senior Sister Shen has been practicing for so many years, but she is still only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and she is still relying on pills."

Jiang Jinyan lowered his head in shame, let alone the foundation-building stage, he hadn't even reached the threshold of the Qi training stage. Every time he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, his body was like a deflated balloon, unable to absorb it into his body and transform it into Yuanli, no matter how many elixirs he took, it was useless.

He was not in a position to speak, so his fellow disciples spoke for him: "You fellow Daoists may not know that my senior brother has a special bone structure and cannot practice. I am afraid he cannot defeat fellow Daoist Shen."

One of the disciples sneered: "What's the big deal? I see that Brother Jiang has a sword hanging on his body, so he should know a little about swordsmanship. Although Senior Sister Shen is in the foundation-building stage, she is usually not good at studying. You only need to use a few sword moves and her talisman will become waste paper."

They also talked about some gossip, saying how arrogant and domineering Shen Zhaozhao was and how obsessed she was with Xie Yanshu.

Now that he has met her in person, Jiang Jinyan feels that she is not like what those people said.

The two drank a few cups together. Jiang Jinyan didn't get drunk easily, but when he saw that Shen Zhaozhao was a little drunk, he left the table.

On the second day, the sound of horns was heard and the competition officially began.

After several rounds, it was Shen Zhaozhao and Jiang Jinyan's turn to go on stage to compete.

Jiang Jinyan clasped his fists solemnly: "Thank you."

Shen Zhaozhao glanced at him and snorted, "Stop talking nonsense, make your move."

The sword and the talisman collided with a loud bang, and the talisman paper was shattered by the sword and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Jiang Jinyan's martial arts skills were not very high, and Shen Zhaozhao dodged in time, avoiding the sharp sword blade, and only a few strands of hair were cut off.

Shen Zhaozhao looked down at the hair on the stage, his eyes red with anger: "You!"

There are no words to describe her mood at the moment.

Unexpectedly, she couldn't even beat a person with no skills at all.

Jiang Jinyan was a little overwhelmed. He was most afraid of seeing a girl cry. He was so scared that his sword fell to the ground: "Fellow Daoist Shen, yes, I'm sorry."

The people watching the show in the audience booed her.

Shen Zhaozhao threw a talisman at the audience, but they easily blocked it.

Shen Zhaozhao lost face and jumped off the stage angrily.

The storyline of the book is over.

Shen Zhaozhao waited for a long time in the distance and saw Jiang Jinyan and others walking towards her.

She stepped forward and stopped them with a smile, her eyes curved as she said, "What kind of wine did you drink last night? It was delicious!"

"Ah?" Jiang Jinyan was stunned for a few seconds and touched his head helplessly.

Although he didn't know how Shen Zhaozhao knew that he had drunk alcohol last night, he still confessed: "Fruit wine made from grapes."

A fellow student beside him secretly covered his mouth and asked him: "Have you seen her before?"

Jiang Jinyan also covered his mouth and lowered his voice and said, "I haven't seen it before. I saw it for the first time in the ring today."

Shen Zhaozhao's smile froze. Jiang Jinyan wasn't drunk last night, so how come she had never seen him before?

As soon as her thoughts turned, she immediately understood.

The book describes that Jiang Jinyan and Shen Zhaozhao first met in a martial arts competition, so even if they had met before, Jiang Jinyan would not remember it.

It has always been like this. No matter how many times Shen Zhaozhao encounters the nameless cannon fodder in the book, those people will not remember her when they meet again.

As for those who have interactions with her, no matter how big the contrast is between her personality outside the plot and her personality in the plot, they will automatically ignore it and treat her as Shen Zhaozhao in the plot.

Except for Awen.

Except for the first time they met which was in the plot, every time she went to see him afterwards was outside the plot.

Now, after being reborn, not only is she no longer controlled by her character, but the world also seems more real.

The maids in Yichen Cloth Shop, who were never described in the book, could still remember her after meeting her once.
