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

Si Qing quietly found a corner to sit down and released the Earth Tiger Beast. The spirit beast bag was something he and Xiao Feng had bought when they arrived in Sword City.

After being released, Xiao Tu took short steps and tried to get closer to Xiao Xuan.

Faced with Si Fan's cold, vertical pupils, it immediately tucked its tail between its legs and returned to Si Qing's arms.

Si Qing smiled and gently stroked Xiao Tu's back, grooming its fur.

Before long, Xiao Tu started snoring softly in Si Qing's arms.

As evening fell, Xiao Yun finally emerged from the cave.

The sword's aura is contained, its edge hidden.

Xiao Feng opened his eyes immediately and congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, elder brother."

"This is the Infant-Stabilizing Pill."

Xiao Yun: "Thank you, Second Brother."

In fact, Xiao Yun's Nascent Soul formation went very smoothly this time, and his cultivation was much more stable than he had expected.

In addition, he absorbed and refined the Dao Asking Sword Stone, condensed his sword heart, and gained the Dao Asking Sword's recognition as his master.

He has now reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, Xiao Feng's cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm was not apparent.

Xiao Yun naturally wouldn't refuse Xiao Feng's good intentions.

Xiao Xuan opened his eyes to 006's call, and what he saw was this scene of brotherly affection and respect.

It was exactly the peaceful life he had hoped for.

The more Xiao Xuan interacted with them, the less he could regard the people he met as two-dimensional characters.

They are clearly flesh and blood, with feelings and righteousness.

"We shouldn't be bound by so-called predetermined trajectories."

"An eagle should soar high, and a sharp sword should cut through the air and reach the heavens," Xiao Xuan thought to himself.

Xiao Xuan stood up, holding Si Fan in his arms. Si Fan's dark little head slid off Xiao Xuan's shoulder and curled up into a small ball in Xiao Xuan's arms.

Xiao Feng turned around and saw this scene, and asked with a smile, "Little brother, how about we try putting him into the spirit beast pouch?"

Xiao Xuan glanced down at the little black snake in his arms. "No need."

Just as Xiao Yun and the others were preparing to go down the mountain for a drink, Chen Chen came looking for them.

His expression was somewhat strange.

Xiao Yun: "What's wrong?"

Chen Chen: "The sect leader urgently summoned you, instructing Master to notify Senior Brother to proceed to the main hall immediately."

Xiao Xuan felt something and said, "Big brother, my second brother and I will go with you."

"We'll be waiting for you outside the palace."

"Once my older brother comes out, it will be easier for us to go down the mountain together."

Xiao Yunlang smiled and said, "Okay."

He didn't think the sect leader would cause him any trouble by looking for him.

"Perhaps he's assigning some kind of task," Xiao Yun thought.

Xiao Xuan was not as optimistic as Xiao Yun, because he had a vague premonition that this matter was related to him.

It's probably not a very easy problem to solve.

Xiao Yun, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Feng, and Si Qing headed to the main peak of the Heavenly Sword Sect together, and had just stepped onto the main peak's territory.

Xiao Xuan was then abducted by a tall figure.

Taking advantage of Xiao Xuan's momentary daze, they forcibly signed a contract of unity with him.

By the time Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng caught up, the contract had already been formed.

Yan Jiayu smiled wickedly, reached out and lifted Xiao Xuan's white robe. Seeing the semi-circular contract mark on Xiao Xuan's chest, he released his grip on Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan: "..."

Xiao Xuan straightened his clothes without expression.

In just a breath or two, Xiao Yun, his eyes red with anger, had already started fighting with Yan Jiayu.

Xiao Feng flew to Xiao Xuan's side, looking at him with worry in his eyes.

System 006 also seemed to be taken aback by Yan Jiayu's sudden action.

System 006's voice sounded a beat late, its tone somewhat guilty, "Ding, detected that the host has triggered the fourth main quest: 'Protecting the Chosen One' Yan Jiayu. Quest rewards will be distributed according to the progress of completion."

"Ding, Main Quest Four: 'Protecting the Chosen One' Yan Jiayu has been added to the host's quest list. Please do your best to complete the quest."
