In the blink of an eye, Gu Yao has been in this world for more than half a year.

After calculating the time, it seemed that it was about time for the Wang family to go on their autumn outing.

It was during this trip that Gu Yao rescued Xi Yue, who was being chased and had fallen unconscious by the river.

He raised his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight, then clenched his fist.

Sure enough, two days later, the Wang family sent someone to invite the young master and young lady of the mansion to go on an autumn outing together.

Gu Yao was woken up early by Fan's cousins. Gu Yao, who had been thinking about things too late last night, yawned and forced himself to stay awake.

After all, we have something important to do today.

Taking advantage of the beautiful autumn scenery, a group of pampered young masters and ladies made their way to Yaoguang Temple in the mountains outside the city, a place most of the young ladies had chosen.

At this age when they are just beginning to experience romantic feelings, praying for marriage at Yaoguang Temple is considered most effective.

Moreover, it is autumn, and the maple forest on the back mountain is especially beautiful.

Looking out from the viewing pavilion behind the mountain, the maple forest resembled the rising sun or a burning flame, giving people a deep sense of warmth, but it could not warm Gu Yao's heart.

He couldn't find a chance to leave the large group of young masters and ladies, and his cousins ​​from the Fan family were afraid of neglecting Gu Yao, so they surrounded him the whole way.

Looking at his enthusiastic cousins, Gu Yao felt utterly hopeless.

No way, no way, are we going to miss the very first plot point?!

Will the chosen one die?

As the sun began to set, the group packed up their belongings and headed down the mountain in a grand procession.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out from the crowd: "There's a small path here!"

The one speaking was the usually most lively young master of the Wang family.

Surrounded by the crowd, Gu Yao's heart stirred, and his eyes were filled with joy.

A new path opens up before you do.

He knew his chance had come.

With a look of eager anticipation, Gu Yao suddenly rushed out of the crowd, and Fan Ye couldn't stop him.

Gu Yao peered out and parted the flower bushes beside the stone steps.

"Hey, there really is a side path. Maybe this path is shorter."

Gu Yao pretended to be extremely interested, his face full of excitement.

"I'm going this way, anyone want to come with me?"

Being at an active and playful age, the young master of the Wang family immediately responded, and soon several other people also wanted to find out what was going on.

Fan Ye tried to stop Gu Yao, who was eager to try.

Gu Yao patted his hand, "Cousin, don't worry. It's still early. If there's no road ahead, we can go back to this road. It won't delay our journey home. You two go first."

Fan Ye hesitated for a moment, looking at Gu Yao's restless body, his heart already flying to that alley, and sighed almost imperceptibly.

Mischievous kids are hard to manage.

His younger cousin had been ill in the capital and rarely came out. Seeing that he was finally showing some of the liveliness of someone his age, Fan Ye couldn't bear to disappoint him.

Helplessly, he waved his hand and sent Gu Yao to scout ahead.

He was the eldest of the Fan family's children, and he was the one who made the decisions for this trip.

With Fan Ye's approval, Gu Yao's smile deepened.

At the prime of his life, and with his handsome looks, Gu Yao's smile caused many of the young ladies present to blush.

Some of the bolder young ladies started teasing Gu Yao, calling him "Little Brother Yao".

Gu Yao felt embarrassed by being called "Little Brother Yao" repeatedly, and quickly begged for mercy, "Please, sisters, have mercy on me today."

Several older ladies burst into laughter and waved their hands, "We won't make things difficult for you today, little brother. You should go now, or you won't be able to catch up with those rascals."

Gu Yao bowed respectfully, waved to Fan Ye, and quickly turned and disappeared into the alley.

Qingzhu wanted to keep up with her young master, but Gu Yao stopped her in her tracks with a single look.

The young masters who had just wanted to find out what was going on had already gone ahead.

Gu Yao walked alone, deliberately slowing his pace to create distance, and then turned and ran into the woods.

Let the system locate you and take you to the place you remember.

From afar, you can see a person dressed in blue lying on the riverbank.

Life and death do not know.

Gu Yao rushed over in a panic, turned the person over, and found that the person was already unconscious.

Thank goodness, at least we're alive.

The person who usually loves cleanliness disregarded the mud and water stains on this person's body and tried hard to carry him on his back.

I tugged at it, but it wouldn't budge.

I tried again, but I really couldn't pull it off.

This is awkward.

This frail body doesn't support Gu Yao's martial arts training; he can't even pull a person away now.

Helpless, Gu Yao could only call upon the system again.

"Xiao Jiu, do you have any items that can make me stronger?"

"For some hosts, the 'Power Pill' costs 10 points and can sustain them for two hours."

0529 has been basically bored out of his mind ever since he arrived in this world.

As a system whose performance has consistently been at the bottom, it doesn't have many system friends and only has Gu Yao as its host.

They usually communicate with the host, and their relationship has improved a lot since they became one, developing a bit of revolutionary friendship.

Now that we've finally met the protagonist of this world, and the story is finally about to begin, the system is immediately online.

"Give me one, I'll pay you back with points later when this plane ends."

"Yes, host, exchange successful."

The system didn't say much and quickly redeemed a Power Pill.

This has made matters worse for an already struggling system.

Gu Yao felt a powerful force flowing into his body, making him feel warm all over.

He felt he could now carry an ox.

One person is nothing.

He slung Xi Yue over his shoulder and huffed and puffed as he walked down the path.

I felt the jolts and swayed as I groggily woke up.

Betrayed by his most trusted subordinate, he jumped into the river with the conviction that he was going to die.

Driven by a strong will to survive, he grabbed onto a piece of driftwood stuck on the shore while still dazed and confused, and struggled to climb ashore.

They were begging for that sliver of hope.

In retrospect, he was quite lucky.

On Gu Yao's back, Xi Yue, who was somewhat conscious, could only hear the young master's muttered complaints and his tired breathing.

"Hey, don't die! I'm so tired, I'll carry you down the mountain."

"You're so heavy! You really need to lose weight after you wake up!"

"..."

"..."

The clear, youthful voice entered Xi Yue's heart through his eardrums.

Even though I usually dislike noisy people, I feel particularly comforted listening to this rambling.

My luck isn't too bad, is it?

These childish words are not unpleasant; on the contrary, they are somewhat endearing.

Xi Yue smiled to himself; it seemed he was a spoiled young master.

Wanting to hear the young master's voice a little longer, Xi Yue's consciousness gradually blurred.

Feeling that there was no more movement on his back, Gu Yao smiled silently.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to do it all.
