He's a minor cannon fodder character who transmigrates into a novel and cultivates immortality,

After all the collateral disciples in the martial arts hall had completed their aptitude tests, the Grand Elder looked at Prime Minister Si, who was sitting in the main seat, and respectfully said, "Patriarch, there were a total of thirty disciples in this aptitude test, of whom twenty did not have spiritual roots."

"All ten disciples here have spiritual roots, and two of them have excellent aptitude."

"There are one single spiritual root, one double spiritual root, three triple spiritual roots, four quadruple spiritual roots, and one five spiritual root."

"Patriarch, the one with a single spiritual root is Si Qing from our ancestral home in Qinzhou, while the one with two spiritual roots is from our main family..."

The Prime Minister had no patience to listen to the Grand Elder's detailed explanation and interrupted him, saying, "You can make the arrangements yourself."

Then, looking at Si Fan, he said, "Xiao Fan, why don't you go and take the test too?"

Aunt Wang had been waiting for these words. Upon hearing them, she quickly pushed Si Fan forward and said, "Xiao Fan, don't be afraid, go ahead."

"The fairy said you can cultivate immortality. You must have spiritual roots. Go."

Aunt Wang kept her voice very low, but the martial arts hall was very quiet, and those who practiced martial arts had very keen senses.

Her words, which she thought were spoken softly, were heard by all the cultivators present.

Everyone's gaze couldn't help but linger between Si Fan and Xiao Xuan.

Si Ye glanced at Xiao Xuan, who had somehow returned to Si Fan's side. Xiao Xuan was also looking at Si Fan with a gentle and encouraging expression.

Si Fan's face was still covered by a large, ugly birthmark, making his features unrecognizable.

As always, it's an eyesore.

However, there was not a trace of disgust or disdain in Xiao Xuan's eyes.

Si Ye lowered his eyes, concealing the resentment in them.

It wasn't that he valued Xiao Xuan that much; rather, he was the eldest son of the Prime Minister, and had been pampered and adored since childhood.

Suddenly, someone appeared who valued the ugly ghost whom everyone in the Si Mansion hated more, and instead ignored him.

He felt resentful.

Seeing that the child did not move, Xiao Xuan took Si Fan's arm and led him to the front of the testing bead.

The qualification test bead is spherical, about the size of a fist, and transparent.

Everyone in the martial arts hall turned their attention to Si Fan. At that moment, they all thought in unison, "What kind of spiritual root does Si Fan have? With such an ugly appearance, how could he attract such attention from the fairy?"

Yes, everyone was still wondering whether the beautiful, otherworldly immortal in white was male or female. But after hearing Aunt Wang call Xiao Xuan a fairy and seeing that Xiao Xuan didn't object, they all naturally regarded Xiao Xuan as a fairy.

Xiao Xuan, however, was completely focused on Si Fan and paid no attention to the inappropriateness in Aunt Wang's words.

Therefore, at this moment, he was unaware that because of Aunt Wang's words, Si Fan had always regarded him as a fairy sister.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Si Fan reached out his hand toward the qualification testing bead.

Her small, thin hands had sallow skin and were covered with scars of varying sizes and crisscrossing patterns.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xuan's eyes flashed with pity.

There are always some corners in the world where the sun doesn't shine, and there are always some people who don't have enough to eat.

This was something he had come to deeply understand in his previous life. In Si Fan, he seemed to see himself struggling to survive in order to fill his stomach.

Whether it's out of shared suffering or mutual appreciation, at this moment, he really wanted to protect this child, as if to give his past self a sense of fulfillment.

A cold, mechanical voice rang out, "Ding, it has been detected that host 006 has triggered main quest three: 'Protecting the Chosen One.' There is no time limit, and rewards will be distributed based on the host's progress in the quest."

"The main quest is a mandatory task and has been included in the host's task list. Please do your best to complete the task."

Xiao Xuan lowered his eyes and silently said in his heart, "Okay."
