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

System 006: "Host, host, they are your eldest and second eldest brothers."

"Don't you really want to help them? Is it because you're still upset about the broken family ties?"

Xiao Xuan shook his head. "No, I was just asking casually. I didn't mean to refuse to help."

System 006: "That's good, that's good."

Xiao Xuan: "What were their original life trajectories?"

A cold, mechanical voice rang out, "Ding, host 006 is detected to be confused. The system's 'clarification' function is automatically activated."

"Ding, system is searching."

"Ding, the system query has been completed. The answer is as follows: Xiao Yun, a single metal-type spiritual root, born with sword bones, is a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Grand Elder, Crimson Sword Venerable."

"Originally, on the day of his Nascent Soul formation, the Crimson Sword Venerable dug out his sword bone, crippled his cultivation, and forcibly fed him with the Soul-Devouring Demon Insect."

"Afterwards, they brought him into the sect's main hall, falsely accused Xiao Yun of being a spy planted in the Heavenly Sword Sect by a demonic cultivator, expelled him from the sect, and threw him off the Cliff of Withered Bones..."

"He was accidentally possessed by a demon and lost his mind. A hundred years later, he reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation, massacred the Heavenly Sword Sect, and finally perished under the heavenly tribulation."

Xiao Xuan: "Is it that bad?"

System 006 chimed in, seizing the opportunity, "Yeah, it's really tragic."

The cold, mechanical voice continued, "Xiao Feng, a disciple of the Medicine Sect Master, Venerable Danyang, possesses both Water and Wood spiritual roots."

"Enter the Cloud Heaven Immortal Palace and receive the recognition of the medicinal spirit as its master."

"After Venerable Danyang learned of this, he imprisoned her in a dark dungeon and tried every possible way to escape from the medicine spirit, but to no avail. He even tried to cut off her flesh and blood, but to no avail, he could not awaken Venerable Danyang's partner."

"Ultimately, it was put into the medicine cauldron by Venerable Danyang and refined into a spiritual medicine..."

Xiao Xuan: "..."

His two elder brothers had truly had tragic fates. Xiao Xuan couldn't even say whether Xiao Yun or Xiao Feng had a worse life.

To be honest, according to his original fate, he wouldn't have fared much better.

"I wonder who wrote the script, making those three brothers so tragic," Xiao Xuan thought to himself.

A cold, mechanical voice sounded, "Ding, Host 006, this issue is unrelated to the mission. The system refuses to answer."

Xiao Xuan: "..."

He was just making a casual remark to himself and didn't mean to ask the system for an answer.

Xiao Xuan's silence made Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng, who were already somewhat at a loss, even more at a loss.

They had returned to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion around the time Xiao Xuan was born, one after the other. If it weren't for the bloodline connection, they wouldn't have believed it.

The snow-white-haired boy in front of them was actually their younger brother, who had just turned fifteen.

Both Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng felt a pang of self-reproach.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan sighed silently in his heart and transmitted his thoughts, saying, "There is no need to blame yourself."

"Don't overthink it, lest you create inner demons."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng were both startled. If Xiao Xuan hadn't reminded them in time, they probably would have truly developed inner demons without realizing it.

Xiao Feng: "Xiao Xuan, I am your second brother."

At this point, Xiao Feng turned to look at Xiao Yun, "He is your elder brother."

"We sensed something was amiss and went back to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. After that, we came here together."

Xiao Feng and Xiao Yun did not know why their father wanted to sever ties with Xiao Xuan, and they were not in a position to comment on right or wrong.

Facing Xiao Xuan, he couldn't help but feel somewhat insecure.

Xiao Xuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
