The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"I...I didn't! Uncle Li, you don't believe me either!" Ye Xingchen was on the verge of tears.

"Mengjie, if you don't make a decision soon, I'm afraid the reputation of the Flying Immortal Sect will be ruined by you, this good-for-nothing disciple!" Li Qingfeng said righteously.

Hua Mengjie was torn with inner turmoil. She knew that if things continued this way, the reputation of the Flying Immortal Sect would indeed be affected. She gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind.

"Enforcement Hall, you should handle this matter as soon as possible." After saying this, she turned and left, leaving Ye Xingchen to bear all the blame and scorn alone.

After Hua Mengjie left, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall began to deal with Ye Xingchen.

"Ye Xingchen, you have committed such a heinous crime. According to the laws of the Flying Immortal Sect, we will send you to the Black Prison for life imprisonment," a disciple of the Enforcement Hall said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingchen felt even more desperate. The Black Prison was an extremely terrifying place, where some of the most vicious criminals were imprisoned. It could be said that anyone imprisoned there lived a life worse than death.

"No! I don't want to go to the Black Prison! I've been framed! I'm innocent!" Ye Xingchen struggled desperately, trying to escape the control of the Enforcement Hall disciples.

However, it was all too late. Ignoring Ye Xingchen's struggles, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall forcibly escorted him to the Black Prison.

That concludes the matter.

Chen Xuan watched in amazement.

"This guy is honest. The cultivation world isn't Earth. Can't he just make a vow to the Heavenly Dao to prove his innocence? Why does he need such a weak explanation?"

"Or... has the Heavenly Dao also lowered your intelligence? System, bring me Ye Xingchen's information!"

"Ding, retrieving..."

My current goal: to prove my innocence and find the culprit.

"So you really were intellectually disabled. Oh well, it's alright then."

"...Wait! How come this guy's luck value suddenly skyrocketed by 20? Isn't something wrong, System?"

"Ding! This is how the 'regretful flow' works: the protagonist becomes more courageous after each setback!"

"Alright, now that he's locked up, according to the plot, he'll either be locked up for a few years, or he'll be wrongly accused again, or this dark prison here will imprison people of the demonic path and give Ye Xingchen a wake-up call, ultimately allowing him to escape."

"Then comes the much-anticipated revenge scene. However, in many stories, the protagonist seems to lose his mind when it comes to revenge, becoming indecisive and hesitant."

"When the person seeking revenge saw him dawdling, he started to take advantage of the situation. In the end, the protagonist got angry and the clowns who jumped up and down met their end of death and destruction. It made the readers furious. Even though the culprit was dead, they still felt angry. Tsk tsk tsk."

system:"……"

"The most crucial thing is, I don't know where this kid's destined heroine is, otherwise I would have already gone to woo her! Maybe she's in that dark prison, I still need to make time to go there, but now..."

"Let's try dealing with the outsiders first."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself as he noticed Li Qingfeng and Hua Mengjie walking towards him together, both with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Chen, it's been a long time."

"Oh, it's Brother Li! Long time no see! How have you been?"

"Thanks to your peach blossom luck, I've recently felt like I'm just one step away from a breakthrough!" Li Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Hmm, this is great news, Brother Li. Why don't you come and sit in my cave for a while?"

"I'd be honored to accept your offer, thank you very much, Brother Chen!" Li Qingfeng replied, and then he and Hua Mengjie followed Chen Xuan to the cave.

"Mengjie, serve tea. Take out the leaf from my Tree of Life and treat Brother Li properly!"

"Yes." Hua Mengjie responded and went to prepare, but she realized halfway there.

"I'm clearly no longer his...servant, so how come I'm like this the moment I entered this place..."

"Leaves of the Tree of Life?! Brother Chen, how did you obtain such a treasure?" Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng forgot all about Chen Xuan's orders to Hua Mengjie and kept pressing Chen Xuan for answers.

"This matter was actually a matter of chance..."

As the two chatted, Hua Mengjie soon came over carrying a teapot filled with the water of life.

"Come, Mengjie, this Brother Li is my dearest friend, like a brother to me. Quickly fill Brother Li's wine cup first, and then pour me some tea," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

After hearing Chen Xuan's words, Hua Mengjie did not respond verbally, but still obediently followed his instructions.

She moved gracefully to the table, picked up the wine pot, and elegantly filled Li Qingfeng's teacup.

Then, as Hua Mengjie turned around to pour tea for Chen Xuan, she suddenly noticed that Chen Xuan was staring at her with a very dissatisfied look.

In an instant, Hua Mengjie felt a surge of panic, because she knew that this look meant Chen Xuan was very dissatisfied with her performance.

After a moment's thought, Hua Mengjie realized the problem instantly—she hadn't used the kneeling service!

Realizing this, she didn't dare to delay at all. She hurriedly and fearfully knelt down on both knees, moved to Chen Xuan's feet, steadily picked up the teapot with both hands, and carefully began to pour tea for Chen Xuan.

At this moment, she didn't dare to breathe, for fear of angering Chen Xuan again.

Upon seeing this, Li Qingfeng's face flashed with surprise, followed by deep admiration.

"Mengjie has really gone to great lengths to please Chen Xuan for my sake. It's not easy for someone at the Great Ascension stage to do this! No wonder Chen Xuan is so polite to me now, even letting me use tea made from the leaves of the Tree of Life. It turns out it's all thanks to Mengjie!"

Thinking of this, Li Qingfeng felt relaxed and picked up the teacup in his hand to examine it.

When Chen Xuan noticed that Li Qingfeng's attention was on the tea, he reached out and beckoned to the person kneeling beside him.

Before long, Hua Mengjie finally came to her senses, immediately pushed Chen Xuan away, and ran away as if fleeing.

"I... I saw your room was a bit messy, so I'll tidy it up for you!" After saying that, she went straight into her room.

"Mengjie is such a kind and good woman. Brother Li is truly blessed." Chen Xuan looked at Li Qingfeng, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

"Yes, I know Mengjie best. She's always been a kind-hearted person and loves helping others! I imagine she's helped you a lot these past few days, hasn't she?"

"That's right, Mengjie is not only kind-hearted, but also has a silver tongue. She says such sweet things every day, it makes me feel so good! Because of this, I specially gave her a lot of suitors, hahaha!"

"That's good, that's good! It's our honor to be friends with you, Brother Chen! Hahaha!"

"Come, have some tea! Have some tea!"
