The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing

As a result, Yu Xianxian, who was hiding in the corner that night and secretly flipping through the script, couldn't find any conspiracy in it. Instead, all she saw was the script criticizing her.

"The Prime Minister is so kind. Not only did he not mind the rudeness of that silly Yu Xianxian, but he also let them all stay in his house. You know, this is the Prime Minister's residence. Waaah, he really is so kind. I'm going to cry."

Yu Xianxian: ...You bastard, don't you also call him grandpa? What gives you the nerve to say that to me?

"That fool Yu Xianxian has opened the all-knowing script. Oh, let me see, what is she looking at? Oh, so she's doubting Grandpa Prime Minister. What a fool. The all-knowing script already told him there was a problem, yet she still doubts such a kind old man. That's despicable. What bad intentions could Grandpa Prime Minister have? He's just magnanimous."

Foolish Yu Xianxian: ...Although, it seems to make some sense. It seems that the Prime Minister really doesn't have any bad intentions. So she can rest assured for now.

"Did I tell you long ago that there are no demons in this mansion?"

How can I believe what you say?

"Ha, when have I ever lied to you? I would never stoop to lying."

"They say a dog resembles its master. If you have a scoundrel like Luo Jia under your command, you're probably no better."

Meanwhile, far away, the dog Luo Jia thought: "Ah, who's insulting me?"

"Xianxian, are you crouching in the corner looking? Are there any little mice?"

"Oh, no, no, I was chatting with a cockroach. But it's already gone."

A cockroach that never left: ...Heh, one day, he'll make her die, or rather, suffer a fate worse than death.

"Alright, alright, Shangguan Huan and the others have started discussing serious matters, you can't fall behind."

……

In the dead of night, several people sat around a table with only a single candle flickering on it. Hmm, if this scene were set differently, it would definitely look like a group of reckless young people challenging the authority of ghosts and monsters.

Unfortunately, this isn't a ghost story; it's a spy thriller.

"What do you guys think of Xianxian's idea of ​​participating in the arena?"

"I think this is a big problem. Participating in the arena should allow you to meet many other beast tamers you've never seen before. I wonder what their beasts look like?"

"Don't forget, we're participating in the arena to get into the palace."

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

"But is this arena really reliable? What if there are demons causing trouble in this country? Then there might be big problems behind this arena competition."

"Isn't it said that the emperor might have problems? The winner of this arena can meet the emperor. I think it's always a good thing to be able to meet the emperor."

"But the question is, will winning really allow us to meet His Majesty of Linlan Kingdom?"

Yu Xianxian slapped her forehead: ...Oh dear, she seems to have really overlooked this problem.

"Does Senior Sister mean that the old man lied to us?"

Shangguan Huan, who was standing to the side, hesitated before speaking: ...Never mind, let her be.

"I don't think he would lie."

Yunmeng looked at Su Jin'er, and after a few seconds of eye contact, she said, "Perhaps he wasn't lying, but the prime minister also said he didn't know much, so even if he wasn't lying to us, his information might not be accurate. We can't determine whether his claim of 'being able to meet His Majesty' is true or false."

Now, not only Su Jin'er fell silent, but everyone else did too.

It's clear they have too little information. It would be incredibly reckless for them to risk going to an arena that they know is likely a trap.

Bai Ge rested his head on the table, looking resentful, and said:

"Sigh, that's why I said we should just find a magic artifact that doesn't have invisibility, and then I'll just fly you in, capture this emperor, and everything will be over. Sigh, what a pity, our artifact refiner is useless."

Shangguan Huan, who was standing to the side, twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this:

"I'm sorry, I don't have the magical artifact you need. It's my fault."

Yu Xianxian's head was also resting on the table in the same position. She sighed and said, "It's a pity that the one who loves to eat fish didn't come. Otherwise, if we could set up a teleportation array, it would be much easier to catch people."

Upon hearing this, Yunmeng sighed and said, "We're just here to investigate whether there are any demons causing trouble. If not, you've offended the ruler of a country. How will the immortal sect explain that?"

"Hey, but didn't Jin'er say that emperor was a good emperor and wouldn't cause internal strife in the country? Then there must be a problem."

"That's just what I think."

Su Jin'er clenched her fists under the table again; perhaps, this time she really was acting on emotion.

Seven years have passed; people change. Perhaps…

"Since Jin'er trusts him, then I trust him too."

Yu Xianxian put his arm around Su Jin'er's shoulder and patted her, acting like two good buddies, which successfully relaxed Su Jin'er's tense muscles a bit.

"By the way, Jin'er, why are you so concerned about the emperor of this country?"

"With the country in turmoil, as a citizen, I am naturally concerned upon hearing that His Majesty is incompetent."

"No no no."

Yu Xianxian held up a finger and waved it in front of them, then said, "Look, if an emperor is incompetent, what will ordinary people think? They'll definitely think the emperor is incompetent. But you're different. You think he must be a wise ruler, and that something bad must be causing this, otherwise you wouldn't have come at all. So..."

As Yu Xianxian spoke, she patted Su Jin'er on the shoulder again, looking like she was watching a melon seed.

"Do you know this emperor? Tell me, what is your relationship with him?"

When Yu Xianxian asked a question that had nothing to do with the purpose of today's battle meeting, none of the others interrupted her, and they all stared at Su Jin'er with unblinking eyes.

The meaning in their eyes was clear: hurry up, they all wanted to know.

Script: As expected, the essence of humanity is just being a bystander, isn't it?

"Relax, Jin'er. If you don't want to talk about it, we won't force you."

Su Jin'er, under the invisible pressure of four pairs of eyes: ...Really?

Just then, a "meow" broke the atmosphere. A black cat was standing on the windowsill, and if it weren't for that meow, no one would have noticed it.

Immediately afterwards, the black cat leaped up and landed steadily on the table.

"Ah, kitty."

"Ah, it's Beast."

In an instant, Yu Xianxian and Bai Ge's attention was drawn to the black cat.

The onlookers, having lost their main force, had no choice but to disband on the spot, and everyone turned their attention to the commotion.

Su Jin'er, who was about to answer: ...

So, you guys are just bored out of your minds, right?
