Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

Feng Yichen, who had been standing by like a ghost, resignedly gave a gentle, faint smile.

"Alright! Xiuxiu, Xiaoman, now is not the time to dwell on this."

"According to what you said, a man in black really did steal the spellbook and ran towards our road, so why didn't we encounter him?"

There were no forks in the passage, and he and Tang Lian had been guarding it. If anyone came, they would definitely find out.

That made sense, and Qian Xiaoman and Tang Xiu wavered.

“But they have no reason to lie to us…” Tang Xiu said hesitantly.

"You two should always be wary of others, you'd better be more careful!" Tang Lian sighed.

Even someone as composed as him, a powerful figure in the business world, found himself hesitant and awkward when disciplining his younger siblings, unlike Feng Yichen who was more adept at it.

"hey-hey……"

Feng Yichen chuckled gloatingly, earning a glare from his good friend.

It was at this time that Ji Qiuzhe and his group approached.

"Who goes there?!"

Upon hearing the unfamiliar footsteps, Tang Lian instantly became alert, but when she saw several unfamiliar men and women emerging from around the corner, she was momentarily stunned.

Four handsome men and beautiful women walked towards us, each with an air of elegance that made them stand out wherever they went.

Such a person could not possibly be unknown.

But despite being members of the Xuanmen sect, he didn't recognize any of them.

"Yujia?!"

Feng Yichen, however, was different. He seemed very excited, and his sudden shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Ji Qiuzhe and the other three were puzzled and their bodies stiffened at the same time.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Feng Yichen was a little embarrassed, "Look at her, she's a top-tier superstar, she's acted in many great movies, and she's even an award-winning actress!"

Oh, case solved, it was a fan.

The four people relaxed their tense bodies.

Yu Jia looked somewhat embarrassed. It was fine to encounter fans normally, but to encounter them when she was with her master made her feel so ashamed.

Feng Yichen was as excited as a cat that had seen fish, showing no sign of his usual gentle and proper demeanor.

"Sister Jia, can I get an autograph?"

Just as he was about to rush forward without thinking, Tang Lian stopped him.

Tang Lian was exhausted. He hadn't even disciplined his two young children properly, and even the usually steady Feng Yichen had become unreliable.

"Wake up! Is this the right place to get an autograph?"

"no……"

After being reprimanded, Feng Yichen regained his senses and lowered his head somewhat dejectedly.

Looking at his dejected expression, Tang Lian felt that she had gone too far with her words.

Intending to offer comfort, Ji Qiuzhe and the others approached.

Tang Xiu quickly tugged at her brother's hand, her voice beaming, "Brother, they are the kind people I was talking about."

Tang Lian: Oh, it doesn't seem so surprising!

Qian Xiaoman, already acting like a familiar face, stepped forward and asked Ji Qiuzhe, "Handsome, why are you the only ones here? Where's Zhao Tiansheng?"

"She's asleep," Ji Qiuzhe replied.

"what?"

Qian Xiaoman scratched his head sheepishly: "Then his sleep quality is actually quite good."

Ji Qiuzhe: "Who says otherwise? It must be a family trait. He falls asleep the moment he sees his dad, and you can't wake him up no matter what you do. I'm so envious..."

"Haha, I'm envious too!"

Qian Xiaoman chimed in, saying that he wasn't someone who could fall asleep quickly and that he truly envied those who could fall asleep instantly.

Tang Lian understood the meaning behind Ji Qiuzhe's words and couldn't help but feel a little alarmed.

He stepped forward, shielding his simple-minded younger brother behind him, and defensively extended his hand: "My name is Tang Lian. May I ask your name?"

"Ji Qiuzhe".

Ji Qiuzhe shook hands with him and then introduced his own people.

“Li Yu, Yu Jia, Yu Lou, we are all independent cultivators.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yu looked at the ground with some disappointment.

Why introduce him so simply, as if the relationship between the two of them is no different from that between Yu Jia and Yu Lou?

Does Ji Qiuzhe think their relationship is something shameful?

"what happened?"

Ji Qiuzhe noticed his emotions and was somewhat confused.

"It's nothing." Li Yu shook off her unhappy mood.

"You can tell me anything." Ji Qiuzhe wanted to say that if he felt I had done something wrong, he should tell him and he would pay attention.

He thought he was careful enough, but Li Yu was an exceptionally sensitive person. He was afraid of saying the wrong thing and upsetting him, so he always tried to avoid it, but he couldn't help but make mistakes sometimes.

Seeing that the four of them had a clear and honest air about them, and indeed did not seem to be people with ill intentions, Tang Lian felt relieved and took the initiative to introduce them: "You have met these two before. This is my sister, Tang Xiu, and Qian Xiaoman from the Qian family."

He then put his arm around Feng Yichen and said, "This is Feng Yichen from the Feng family."

Ji Qiuzhe had to swallow what he wanted to say and focus on socializing first.

As for Li Yu, he would find an opportunity to ask him properly later, as he did not want any grudges between them.

"It's fate that we've met. Xiao Ji, if you don't mind, why don't you join us?"

Those who can defeat Zhao Tiansheng and the Zhao family head are obviously very capable. Being with them would provide more protection should any unforeseen dangers arise.

No matter how you look at it, they're the ones who profited.

"can."

Since Ji Qiuzhe had no objections, Li Yu naturally wouldn't disagree with him.

As for Yujia and Yulou, they are of no concern.

Thus, an eight-person team was temporarily formed.

Seeing this, Feng Yichen became lively again. He followed closely beside Yu Jia, his eyes burning: "Sister Jia, can I walk with you?"

Yu Jia was so afraid of social strife that after much hesitation, she nodded reservedly.

There's nothing she can do; she's favored by her fans.

The rest of the journey was quite lively.

With Tang Xiu and Qian Xiaoman enlivening the atmosphere, and Feng Yichen with starry eyes recounting all the movies and TV series that Yu Jia has starred in, and commenting on her superb acting skills and action scenes in each one, the main focus is on blindly praising her.

Yu Jia was so embarrassed that she felt like she could dig a castle out of her toes.

Who understands?

What's the difference between this and a public execution?

"Sister Jia... Sister Jia..."

Yu Jia turned her head blankly and looked at Yu Lou for help.

The latter replied with a helpless emoji.

Tang Lian walked alone at the front, listening to Feng Yichen's fervent words, and felt somewhat uneasy.

In all the years we've known each other, he's never been this enthusiastic towards me before, even though we're best friends.

Ji Qiuzhe and Li Yu walked side by side. Ji Qiuzhe wanted to take Li Yu's hand, but Li Yu inadvertently dodged him.

Ji Qiuzhe: ???

Oh no! My husband seems angry! He won't even let me hold his hand!!!

I feel so wronged, I want to throw a tantrum and beg for help.

But he's an adult; he shouldn't do something so shameful.

I'm sad... I want to cry...

Little did Li Yu know that Ji Qiuzhe was thinking that he must want to avoid suspicion from him.

Even if he was unwilling, he had to cooperate. He couldn't let Ji Qiuzhe hate him for this reason.

"Baby……"

After thinking it over, Ji Qiuzhe realized he couldn't swallow this grievance!

Li Yu couldn't stand him calling her that, and touched her ear uncomfortably.

"Um?"

"It's all my fault, please don't be upset, okay?" Ji Qiuzhe shamelessly acted coquettishly.

How could Li Yu not be happy? He was already incredibly soft-hearted; as long as it was this person, he couldn't truly get angry.

"I'm not unhappy."

"Really?" Ji Qiuzhe didn't believe it.

"Really." Li Yu touched his smooth profile.

"If there's anything I did wrong, you have to tell me, okay?"

Qian Xiaoman, who was watching the drama unfold behind them, exclaimed, "Ah! These two brothers have such a good relationship!"

"Stupid!"

Tang Xiu patted his arm.

What brothers? She swears those two are definitely a couple!

Qian Xiaoman looked bewildered and aggrieved: "Why did you hit me?"
