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

Hearing Yunmeng's words, Shangguan Huan frowned and said, "That is indeed a problem. Since it's a arena, the opponents may not be of the same level. What if we encounter someone at the Nascent Soul stage..."

Don't ask why I didn't mention the Golden Core stage. My master gave me many magical artifacts, so I can easily defeat those below the Nascent Soul stage (by trickery), and those above the Nascent Soul stage don't even need to think about it (I can't trick them).

Bai Ge also had a thoughtful expression on his face: "Hmm, although I really want to see other people's pets, it wouldn't be good if my own pet got hurt."

"But we don't necessarily have to win."

Su Jin'er's words drew everyone's attention. She looked serious and continued, "In fact, I think it might be better to lose."

"Ah, why is it that when it comes to fighting, isn't it always better to win?"

In any case, adhering to the belief of "not bringing shame to his master, fellow disciples, and beasts," Bai Ge insisted on the principle of winning every fight.

"Actually, I hope everyone will deliberately lose."

"Was it a deliberate loss? Why?"

"In this arena, besides the emperor, there's someone else we can investigate, isn't there?"

Upon hearing this, Yunmeng immediately understood.

"You mean that imperial advisor?"

Su Jin'er nodded, and her words prompted everyone to think.

“Indeed, the Imperial Preceptor’s residence is probably easier to investigate than the Imperial Palace. Moreover, I have never heard of any arena where the losers are sent to the Imperial Preceptor’s residence for treatment.”

“That’s right, this looks very suspicious. Moreover, there was no such person as the Grand Preceptor before I left Linlan Kingdom. His appearance is suspicious in every way.”

"Yes, but losing the match would be a disgrace to Spirit Beast Peak..."

"Oh, that's called outsmarting the enemy, using a fake defeat to achieve final victory. No, come here, I still need to explain it to you in detail."

Then, Shangguan Huan pulled Bai Ge aside to give her an educational lecture (brainwashing through pyramid schemes), and successfully persuaded her (brainwashed her) with his silver tongue.

At this moment, Yunmeng, who was sitting at the table, looked at Su Jin'er. The two looked at each other and said, "Are you sure? There might be a lot of danger behind this trap."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin'er clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "I know, that's why I've decided to go alone. This matter originally had nothing to do with you, but it's my responsibility to involve you. There's no reason for me to bring you into such a dangerous situation. I just hope you can stay here and wait for my news. Don't worry, the Prime Minister is a good man. We saved Su Zhengchu, and he won't mind if you stay here a few more days. I..."

"Su Jin'er".

Yunmeng's voice interrupted Su Jin'er's words and also interrupted Shangguan Huan, who was wrapping up the ideological education work. The room immediately fell silent.

"Now that we're here, we're involved, so there's no need to talk about it being none of our business. Besides, do you think we'd let you go alone?"

“But you guys…”

Su Jin'er lowered her eyes, her hands on the table clenched tightly, as if trying to grasp something, but she couldn't hold on to it no matter what she did.

"What, you're going alone?"

Yu Xianxian, who had been secretly flipping through the script in the corner, came over with the script and looked at Su Jin'er with disapproval: "Jin'er, this is wrong of you. How can you go on an adventure alone? That shows a lack of team spirit. People will call you a coward."

Su Jin'er, who had just been looking down and feeling depressed, thought: ...However, why did she feel like laughing so much when she heard Xianxian say that?

"That's it."

Bai Ge, who had already received her education (brainwashing), also ran over. Although she didn't know what the pupa was, she still chimed in, "I want to go to the arena to see if there are any other cute beasts. Although I have to lose, Shangguan said that this is all a scheme and not shameful, so you absolutely cannot deprive me of the joy of seeing the beasts."

At this moment, Shangguan Huan also walked over and said, "Although her main purpose was a bit off, it's true that we can't let you go alone. Before making a decision, Fellow Daoist Su, won't you ask for our opinion first?"

A glint flashed in Yunmeng's eyes as she looked at Su Jin'er and said, "Now that you have someone by your side, you don't need to shoulder everything alone."

"you……"

Su Jin'er felt a lump in her throat, unsure of what to say. Then her cheeks softened as the black cat on her shoulder nuzzled her with its head.

"Meow," the cat's meow seemed to be saying something she should have understood long ago.

In the end, all the words could be summed up in one sentence: "Thank you, everyone."

……

"So, do you know where that arena is being held?"

Those who were stumped by Yu Xianxian's question: ...Hmm, it seems they were indeed a bit hasty.

Seeing that no one answered, Yu Xianxian, who had just peeked at the script, felt smug. "Hmph, as expected, at crucial moments, you still have to rely on her who has first-hand information."

Adults, times have changed; we live in the information age.

Just as she was about to speak, Su Jin'er said, "It's alright. Since it's common knowledge, we can just ask around on the streets tomorrow. It's getting late, everyone should rest."

Bai Ge chimed in, "Indeed, it's time to sing lullabies to the beasts."

Shangguan Huan also said, "I also have a magical artifact that needs repairing. See you tomorrow."

"Hey……"

So, before Yu Xianxian could speak, the two of them nimbly climbed out of the window and left the house.

Yu Xianxian: ...So, we definitely can't go through the main gate, and she still has something to say. Are you all in such a hurry to leave? And what's with singing lullabies to spirit beasts?

Before Yu Xianxian could finish her internal monologue, Su Jin'er and Yun Meng said goodbye, closed the door, and left.

Yu Xianxian: ...Okay, at least this time we went through the door.

Although Yu Xianxian was feeling down, she decided not to dwell on the issue any longer. Well, it was good to be able to go to sleep early.

The next second, the harassing call from Si Tu was automatically answered.

"Don't you think it's better not to say this? Otherwise, how do you explain how you found out?"

"Didn't I tell you that I heard from the maid on night watch when I went to the outhouse that it wasn't allowed?"

Yu Xianxian pursed her lips. Did they really think she didn't consider anything? She was quite shrewd in life.

"Hmph, do you really think you can hide anything from others? Or do you really think they have no suspicions about you? Yu Xianxian, you have too many secrets."

Are there too many secrets? Indeed, putting aside the fact that there's a demon lord inside the body, the script alone is hard to explain. What if all these questions surface later…

The next second, Yu Xianxian fell asleep instantly.

Forget it, we'll deal with that later. I'll go to sleep now.

A certain demon lord: ...6
