This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

Ye Xuan felt relieved after defeating Li Tianjian. When he noticed Su Yu looking at him, he touched his nose and grinned at her.

That look was as if to say: Look, I won!

Su Yu smiled and nodded to him before heading towards the area where the Qingchen Sect was located.

Above the chairman on the high platform.

The elders were somewhat surprised by the result of the final.

"I never expected that Ye Xuan and that girl Mu Qingyi would make it to the finals this time..."

"Ye Xuan is no ordinary kid. The techniques and martial arts he used in the finals were extremely impressive."

Upon hearing this, another white-haired elder smiled inexplicably. "The most crucial thing is his speed of advancement. As far as I know, he was only at the peak of Body Tempering a month ago, and in just one month he directly achieved the title of King. Such a breakthrough speed is unprecedented and unparalleled in the Zhan Yue Sect."

"After all, she awakened her divine body, so it's understandable that she accumulated strength and then unleashed it. However, I didn't expect that little girl Mu Qingyi could break through to the late stage of the King Realm. Her cultivation is already the strongest among her generation."

All the elders turned their gazes toward Qing Chenzi.

"Qingchenzi, what's going on with this girl? Did you refine some high-grade rare and precious herbs for her?"

"How is that possible?" Qing Chenzi exclaimed, his beard bristling and eyes wide.

“My disciple, like Ye Xuan, has also awakened her physique, the innate Dao physique, which is why her progress is so rapid.”

"What? Innate Dao Body?" Everyone was stunned. The Innate Dao Body was ranked among the top 100 of the Supreme Divine Bodies!

"So, she now possesses both a clear sword mind and an innate Dao body??"

A hint of pride flashed across Qing Chenzi's face. "That's right, this is my disciple, Qing Chenzi."

"........"

Damn, Qing Chenzi is incredibly lucky!

The elders were speechless.

"Wait, Qingchenzi, do you still want to take Ye Xuan as your disciple?"

"That's right, after all, he's a good prospect."

"No! You already have one prodigy disciple, you can't take on another. Ye Xuan should become a disciple of my Hongtian Sect!"

"Bullshit! You, a mere Body Refinement cultivator, shouldn't be getting involved! He should stay on my Heavenly Pivot Peak!"

Even after the competition ended and the contestants and audience members had left, the debate on the podium continued endlessly...

evening.

Mu Qingyi's side hall.

The bright moon is in the sky.

Su Yu was practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts training ground.

Under the bright moonlight, a figure in white.

She fluttered across the vast martial arts arena like a colorful butterfly, but the sword in her hand was so sharp that it cleaved through space, causing explosions and howls.

After practicing the Spirit Ice Breaking the Sky Sword several times, Su Yu finally stopped what she was doing.

The white crane clung to his back, and his gaze rose to the full moon hanging high in the sky.

"Tomorrow is the final between me and Ye Xuan. With my current strength, if I go all out, he definitely won't be my match."

So... should I go all out?

Whether he wins first place or not doesn't really matter much, since his investment returns are far better than the reward for first place.

All he needs to do is hook Ye Xuan and make him his junior brother.

If I defeat Ye Xuan, but the plot goes wrong and I end up pushing Ye Xuan away, wouldn't that be a loss?

So, in order to better promote Ye Xuan's growth, they deliberately lost to him, allowing him to win the championship?

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

[Host, you can actually make alternative investments.]

Su Yu was slightly taken aback, not expecting the system to suddenly come online. "What is alternative investment?"

[Based on your causal relationship with a predetermined goal, you make non-material investments in the host's chosen target and receive a certain feedback reward for producing effective results.]

Here, the causal logic between you and the established goal must align with reality.

Su Yu was a little confused. "What the hell? I don't understand."

【….】

For example, in this final match between you and Ye Xuan, you could have easily defeated Ye Xuan with your own strength and won the title and reward of the championship.

[If you choose to intentionally lose the competition, you will lose the reputation and rewards of being the champion in the major tournament, giving you a predetermined goal. This situation qualifies as an alternative investment.]

The premise of investing is that your clear investment target is Ye Xuan; you must have the absolute ability to defeat him; and your defeat by Ye Xuan must be logical and justifiable.

This is alternative investing.

Su Yu suddenly realized. "So that's how it is. You can invest like this?"

Of course, this system is reasonable.

"Vote! We should vote."

"It seems that losing to Ye Xuan is the best option..."

Su Yu was very happy. As long as he started performing, it would be a win-win situation for both him and Ye Xuan, killing two birds with one stone!

the other side.

Inside a simple wooden hut on Zayi Peak.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on the wooden bed. At this moment, his aura increased several times over, and a huge power surged out from his body.

"Very good. I didn't expect you to have unleashed the potential of the Battle Celestial Body and gained some insights through today's battle, breaking through to the mid-stage of the King Realm."

Beside Ye Xuan, a phantom soul entity said with satisfaction.

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, "I'm getting closer and closer to my senior sister now."

However, when Qingyi was mentioned, he frowned and seemed to have made a decision.

"Teacher, I've made up my mind. Tomorrow I'm going to let my senior sister win. I'm going to lose to her and let her take the championship!"

Elder Wu pondered for a moment. "Are you really sure? After all, this is something you've always wanted to accomplish. You want to prove yourself, to make those who looked down on you regret their actions, and even if your parents knew you won first place in the martial arts competition, they would be overjoyed..."

Ye Xuan sighed softly. "I'm already very satisfied with winning second place in the martial arts competition. I'm sure my parents will be proud of me."

"After all, my senior sister has helped me so much, I can't compete with her."

"I think you're just afraid that if you steal your senior sister's first place, she'll ignore you, right? To be honest, even if you break through, you might not be able to beat that girl."

"With an innate Dao body and a clear sword heart, plus being in the late stage of the King Realm, this is the strongest opponent you've ever encountered," Elder Wu joked.

Ye Xuan: ....... "Since I can't beat my senior sister, then she should be the champion."

Anyway, Ye Xuan doesn't care about anything else. His senior sister must be the champion. If his senior sister really can't beat him, he will start the show himself.

No one can compare to the charm of my senior sister.

This is a perfect opportunity to get closer to my senior sister!

"Alas~ My disciple, don't you understand?" Just then, Elder Wu sighed softly.

"Teacher?" Ye Xuan asked in confusion.

“Your senior sister is a pure person. She definitely wants you to fight with all your might. If you deliberately lose to her in such an important competition as the Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament, it will be a disaster.”

"If she finds out, do you think you and she will still have a future?"

Instantly, Ye Xuan's heart trembled.

Yes!

If I deliberately lost to my senior sister, she would definitely not be happy and would definitely not let me do so.

Even worse, her senior sister might never speak to her again.

"So, teacher, what should I do to please my senior sister?"

"Give it your all in the fight against her, and tell her you will do your best, no matter what the outcome, that's enough."

"it is good."

Ye Xuan let out a soft breath and nodded emphatically.
