Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

"Qingyun Sect? That's not..." Before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by Wei Qing's sharp voice, "What? Are you scared? If you are scared, then kneel down and beg me. Maybe when I feel better, I will plead for you so that you don't have to embarrass yourself!"

I took a deep breath, suppressed the rage within me, and coldly looked at Wei Qing. "No need for your pretense of kindness, I'll go!" Qingyun Sect—that's the immortal sect the hero joins, and it's also the turning point that leads to the complete destruction of my vicious supporting character. According to the plot, I'll be ridiculed for my inability to gather spiritual energy during the entrance test, and ultimately stabbed to death by the hero.

"Hmph, you're sensible!" Seeing that I agreed, Wei Qing smiled triumphantly, turned around and left with her slender waist twisted.

I stared at her back, my eyes gradually turning cold. "You want me to just sit there and wait for death? That won't be easy! Since God allowed me to travel through the book with my memories and also gave me a system, I will never repeat the same mistakes again!"

The next day, Wei Qing forcibly pulled me out of bed. She looked me up and down, her eyes full of disdain. "You're wearing this? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself?"

I looked down at my light blue dress. It was my favorite dress, simple and elegant, but in Wei Qing's eyes it looked so unbearable. I ignored her ridicule and walked out.

Quite a few people had already gathered in the family hall. When they saw me appear, they all looked at me strangely and the sound of whispers reached my ears.

"That's Wei Yao? I heard that she has become a useless person now and can't even gather spiritual energy."

"That's right, what a pity, she used to be a genius girl in our family."

I walked straight to the family elder without looking around and bowed respectfully, "Elder."

Elder Wei nodded slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's go." Elder Wei waved his hand, and everyone took out their magic weapons and prepared to go to Qingyun Sect.

I was about to follow her when Wei Xue stopped me. She was wearing a goose-yellow dress and had a fake smile on her face. "Sister, wait a minute, I'll help you."

I looked at her outstretched hand, a trace of disgust flashed in my eyes, and I dodged it without leaving a trace, "No need, I can walk by myself."

Wei Xue's hands froze in mid-air, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat ugly, but she quickly returned to normal, "Sister, how could you say that? I'm just worried about you..."

As she spoke, she deliberately tripped me. I stumbled and almost fell to the ground, causing a burst of laughter from the people around us.

I steadied myself and looked at Wei Xue coldly, my eyes filled with anger. This Wei Xue was truly haunting!

Suppressing the rage within me, I hurriedly left the hall without a word. I had to get away from them as quickly as possible, return to my room, and study that system. It was my hope, my only chance of survival… I trotted back to my courtyard, my heart pounding. I cared little for the ridicule and mockery; all I cared about was how to escape the fate destined by the book.

After entering the room, I immediately closed the door and carefully checked every corner of the room. Sure enough, my bed had been moved, the bedding was piled messily on the side, and the wooden box that had been placed under the pillow was missing.

That wooden box was the only thing my mother left me. I had always treasured it, so how could it suddenly disappear? Could it be Wei Qing and the others?

I tried to calm myself down and think carefully about what had happened recently, trying to find a clue. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head. I remembered that I vaguely heard some noise outside the window last night, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now I think about it, it's very likely that someone broke into my room and stole the box!

My heart sank. In addition to my mother's relics, there was also an old book in the box. It was the key to unlocking the "Book-traveling" system!

Without that book, I wouldn't be able to activate the system, let alone change my destiny.

I have to get the box back ASAP!

Just when I was extremely anxious, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Then, the door was pushed open roughly, and Wei Qing walked in aggressively with several family elders.

"Wei Yao, you are so bold that you dare to steal the family treasure!" Wei Qing pointed at me and said sharply, with vicious light in her eyes.

I was shocked. Family treasure? Could they be referring to...

"I don't understand what you are saying." I tried to remain calm and looked at them coldly.

"Hmph, you still dare to quibble!" One of the elders stood up and said sternly, "We already have solid evidence. What else do you have to say?"

"Evidence? What evidence?" I felt something was wrong.

"Come here, search!" Following the elder's order, several family disciples immediately began to search my room. I was forcibly held down and could only watch them turn my room upside down.

"Found it!" A disciple shouted excitedly and pulled out an exquisite wooden box from under the bed. It was exactly my box!

I suddenly felt like I was falling into an icy cave. How could this happen?

"Master, look, this is what we found in Wei Yao's room. It's exactly the same as your description!" The disciple presented the box to the master and said proudly.

The head of the family took the box, opened it, and his face immediately turned pale. "Rebellious girl! What else do you have to say?!"

I looked at the contents of the box and immediately understood everything. This wasn't my box, but an identical fake. And what was inside wasn't my mother's belongings, but some priceless jewelry!

"This is not mine. I have never seen it before!" I shook my head desperately and wanted to explain, but Wei Qing pushed me to the ground.

"At this point, you still want to deny it? Come, take this unfilial daughter away and wait for your punishment!" The head of the family was furious and slammed the table with his palm, and the table turned into powder in an instant.

I closed my eyes in despair. Am I really going to be framed by them and face destruction again?

At this moment, a powerful force suddenly erupted from my body, knocking the people around me back several steps...

The force came and went quickly, like a gust of wind, sending everyone reeling and stumbling. I fell to the ground, unharmed, staring blankly at the scene before me, my ears ringing.

"What's going on?!" The head of the family was the first to react. He looked at me in surprise and suspicion, "You..." He seemed to want to say something, but looked around me fearfully and stopped talking.

Wei Qing and the others also recovered from their shock, their faces filled with disbelief. Wei Xue even screamed, "Witchcraft! She must have used some kind of witchcraft!"

Only then did I realize what had happened. That power just now... could it be the power of the system? But, isn't the system still activated?

"Master, I think this matter is suspicious. We should investigate it first." An elder stepped forward and said, his brows furrowed, his eyes moving back and forth between me and the box on the ground.

The head of the family pondered for a moment and nodded, "Lock her up first and keep her under strict supervision!"

Before I could even argue, I was roughly lifted up by two clan disciples and dragged out. I struggled to turn around and saw the smug yet resentful smile on Wei Qing's face, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in my heart.

They locked me in a dark, damp woodshed with no windows, only a heavy wooden door with a thick iron chain hanging from it. I huddled in the corner, filled with fear and anxiety.

What exactly is that power? Why did it suddenly appear to protect me? Is it because I have a soul that is incompatible with this world?

I tried hard to recall any details before I crossed into the book, any information that might be related to this power, but my mind was blank. I only remember that before I crossed into the book, I was playing a holographic game called "Using Books as Opportunities"...

Could it be that all this is real? Have I really been transported into the game?

Holding onto the last glimmer of hope, I tried to call out to the system in my mind: "System? Are you there?"

However, all I got in response was endless silence.

I closed my eyes in despair. Am I really going to be trapped in this world and at the mercy of others?

No, I can't give up!

I still have the system, I still have a chance!

I suddenly opened my eyes, and the flame of hope rekindled in my heart. Even if the system didn't respond now, I would do everything I could to save myself!

I began to observe the environment of the woodshed carefully, hoping to find a way to escape.

Suddenly, I heard light footsteps outside the door. Someone was coming...
