Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

Guan Shanyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately waved his hand to refuse, saying: "No, no, do you have a rope? I can climb out by myself."

Oh my god, the male protagonist has to bear the consequences. How can he bear it if he is not strong enough?

Yan Ruchen looked at him hesitantly and explained, "You couldn't climb out. I checked you out after I came down just now. You sprained your left foot, and after you fell..."

He suddenly stopped talking before he finished. Guan Shanyu looked up at him and saw Yan Ruchen seemed to have thought of something. He lowered his head awkwardly and continued hesitantly, "But if you mind being carried on my back, I'll go up and ask the other disciples to come down."

Guan Shanyu glanced at his face and saw that it was covered in mud, and the scars on his body were still oozing blood. Could it be that he felt that he was disgusted by his dirtiness and that was why he refused to let him carry him?

Guan Shanyu's mouth twitched involuntarily. He tried to move his left foot, and a dull pain came over him. He thought that he was probably frightened by the skeleton and fell too hard. So he rolled his eyes at the skeleton again, then turned to look at Yan Ruchen, only to see that the other person still had a look of embarrassment and confusion on his face.

To avoid further misunderstanding, Guan Shanyu sighed and explained, "I thought I had all my limbs intact and wanted to climb up on my own, but I didn't expect my foot to be so weak that it actually sprained. So, could you please carry me on your back, haha."

Yan Ruchen looked up, seeing Guan Shanyu's face covered in mud and his forced expression, and nodded slowly. When Yan Ruchen squatted in front of Guan Shanyu, and Guan Shanyu nervously climbed onto his back, he tried his best to keep a non-grateful expression on his face, fearing that showing even a hint of gratitude would cause the plot to deviate further. But just as he was lying on Yan Ruchen's back, ready to close his eyes and rest, a sinister skull suddenly appeared in front of him.

Before he could scream, Yan Ruchen had already handed the skull to him: "Shanyu, please help me hold it."

"Fuck!!!"

When I first fell into the pit, I felt like I would land on the ground in a short while, but when I climbed out from the bottom of the pit, I realized how deep it was.

Guan Shanyu lay on Yan Ruchen's back, with the rope tying them both tightly, their chests against their backs. Although it was a bit embarrassing, Guan Shanyu still didn't forget his main task. He held the skull in his hand far away, fearing that it would get too close to him.

For a moment, fear overcame embarrassment, and she even forgot the discomfort of being so close to Yan Ruchen.

However, Yan Ruchen had a hard time climbing up while holding the rope. The entire weight was on him, and he began to pant after climbing for a while. Guan Shanyu looked at him worriedly, fearing that the rope was not strong or Yan Ruchen would not hold on tightly and they would fall back into the pit. After all, the exit seemed to be a long way away.

Guan Shanyu was worried that he would fall again, and at the same time he was terrified that the maggots in the skull would crawl onto his hands. He did not forget to glance at Yan Ruchen's profile.

Although this boy is only fourteen or fifteen, he has already shown the extraordinary charm of a handsome man. His facial features are three-dimensional and delicate, as delicate as sculptures. His beauty is almost unreal and it attracts people's imagination. Seeing him, you can't help but want to touch him, but Guan Shanyu has the desire but not the courage. This face of the cheating king is not something that cannon fodder like him can touch casually.

But no matter how much I thought about it, the opportunity to touch it soon came.

Yan Ruchen climbed with great effort, and a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead. One of the beads was so disobedient that it flowed down along his brow. Guan Shanyu immediately reached out and wiped it away.

Before he could lower his hand, Yan Ruchen froze. He turned around hesitantly, his half-doubted face meeting Guan Shanyu's harmless eyes. Before he could ask a question, Guan Shanyu replied, "A drop of sweat has fallen. I was afraid it would get in your eyes."

Yan Ruchen said "Oh" softly, turned around and continued to climb up the rope. Neither of them spoke for the next while. In this strange silence, they finally climbed to the exit.

It was already daylight outside. As soon as Guan Shanyu was put on the ground, the disciple from Lingcaoxuan rushed over, hugged Guan Shanyu with tears and snot, and cried, "Thank goodness you're okay. If you were, I'd be finished."

Guan Shanyu struggled to pull him apart and asked, "Why are you finished?"

The disciple's eyes were hazy with tears as he said, "Master said you were weak, your roots were poor, and your magical powers were low, so he told me to take good care of you. If you fell into this well and died, I would be derelict in my duty and would definitely be punished by copying books."

If I die, you will just be punished to copy books. Such niche texts. Damn, is my life so worthless?

Guan Shanyu gently pushed away the disciple's head, whose face was covered with tears and snot.

There were always chances of accidents when going down the mountain for training. They had signed a written consent form since they entered the mountain gate. Even if everyone here died because they couldn't defeat the female ghost, it could only be attributed to their lack of skills. They were crying like this and making the disciples of other factions laugh at them.

A circle of disciples surrounded them, and as expected, they all looked at them with unfriendly expressions. Guan Shanyu lowered his head guiltily. After Yan Ruchen threw away the rope and climbed out of the well, everyone turned to show concern and asked, "Are you okay?"

Guan Shanyu turned his eyes away and saw that Yan Ruchen's body was covered in scars that were even more horrific than what he had seen in the well. He was almost covered in blood. However, he wiped the blood off his face and said, "It's okay. We need to prepare well tonight and try to catch that female ghost in one fell swoop."

Guan Shanyu looked around at the crowd again and understood what the situation was.

The female ghost went crazy and injured everyone, but Yan Ruchen took the brunt of the attack and protected everyone. Not only did he keep fighting with the female ghost, he even protected Hu Qi who had been bullying him. As a result, the NPCs who had complained about him before were now in a complicated mood. They were grateful but did not dare to show their goodwill easily. They gathered around and watched eagerly. However, Guan Shanyu himself pulled Yan Ruchen forward, and I wonder if they noticed it.

He quietly raised his head and glanced at everyone, and his heart immediately sank. Well, their starry eyes were now looking at Yan Ruchen, and no one cared about his selfless act.

Guan Shanyu turned his head away boredly and continued to be a qualified NPC quietly.

It’s not that he doesn’t care, it’s that he really has no idea what to do.

Chen Rongrong saw Yan Ruchen fighting with the ghost, already covered in wounds, and yet he jumped into the well to save Guan Shanyu. However, Guan Shanyu fell down because he had helped Yan Ruchen to avoid being hurt by the ghost. Chen Rongrong felt mixed emotions, angry and helpless towards Guan Shanyu, saying, "You saved Ruchen once, and he saved you once, so you've repaid each other. From now on, you must remember Ruchen's kindness and never bully him again."

Guan Shanyu looked innocent, thinking, "You saw how he could fight evil spirits on his own, and even find time to protect you. How could I bully him? Do you look down on him, or do you look down on me too much?"

But on the surface, he nodded perfunctorily and replied stiffly, "Thank you."

"Thank you!"

Just as Guan Shanyu finished speaking, another thank you was heard. He thought it was the echo of his own voice, but his voice was obviously very small. He raised his head suspiciously, only to find that it was Hu Qi who had a grim expression on his face.

What's going on? Guan Shanyu shrank his neck, waiting for him to continue. Seeing Hu Qi frowning and staring at Yan Ruchen, he bowed deeply and said solemnly, "Thank you for blocking that punch for me."

Oh, so it was the plot in the original novel about repaying evil with virtue and regaining the younger brother. Guan Shanyu stood silently by, acting as a qualified bystander.

Yan Ruchen also said seriously: "It's okay, this is what should be done between fellow disciples."

"I've been so wary of you before! I never thought you'd repay me with kindness today. I'm so sorry!"

"You're welcome. You and I are from the same sect. It's only natural for us to help and care for each other."

"Yan Ruchen! I respect you for having backbone!"

"Brother Hu Qi, no need to say more!"

...

The two of them were talking back and forth, and Guan Shanyu felt his scalp tingling.

Damn, why not treat his injuries first instead of just chatting? And what's going on with those disciples nearby? It's okay for Chen Rongrong to have starry eyes, but what are you all learning from them? Did Hu Qi's taming also change their minds? Do they still have their own opinions?

But this bloody plot was actually written by himself.

Guan Shanyu turned his head to the side and sighed silently. The disciple who had been beaten by the female ghost and was foaming at the mouth sat next to him and asked curiously, "Did you just roll your eyes?"
