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

Finally, amidst banter and jokes, the eight people came to an end.

The first thing that catches the eye is two huge double iron gates.

It looks a bit like the main gate of a wealthy family's house in ancient times.

The facade is inlaid with two rows of large copper rivets, with symmetrical lion-patterned copper buckles in the middle. The door is three meters high, looking solemn and majestic.

Even Qian Xiaoman, who is two meters tall, looks petite in its presence.

How do we open this door?

Tang Xiu stepped forward and tentatively knocked on the heavy door, but Tang Lian, still shaken, pulled her back.

"Reckless! What if there's a trap on the door? Do you want to die or be crippled?"

Tang Xiu didn't mind being scolded; instead, she stuck out her tongue and said, "I just didn't think of that! I won't do it again, bro~"

Tang Lian reluctantly let go; he always uses this trick.

Ji Qiuzhe stepped forward and stood with him to observe.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the door was not pure black. It was covered with dense, dark patterns of the same color, including cloud patterns, wave patterns, and some complex designs that they couldn't make out. In short, this door perfectly embodied the concept of understated luxury.

"Brother Lian, do you have a way to open it?"

The door may look nice, but it's blocking the way and an eyesore.

Tang Lian, true to his high IQ as a male protagonist, carefully studied the patterns on the door for a while before confidently stating, "Yes."

"Then please."

Ji Qiuzhe cupped his hands and retreated back to Li Yu's side.

Tang Lian didn't notice his actions. He took out a small dagger from his sleeve and fiddled with the door for a while.

Tang Xiu curiously leaned closer to take a look.

A moment later, a soft cracking sound was heard, and Tang Lian exhaled.

"All right."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pushed open the iron gate, which weighed several hundred kilograms.

"call out--"

"call out--"

"Be careful--"

Before Ji Qiuzhe could finish speaking, Li Yu had already flashed forward, grabbing the two Tang siblings by the back of their collars and carrying them away.

Once Tang Xiu had regained her footing, she saw two sharp arrows lying where she had been standing and patted her chest in relief.

"Oh my god, I almost sent it!"

She thanked Li Yu gratefully before calming herself down.

Even though Tang Lian was prepared for the four of them to be very powerful, he was still shocked by Li Yu's extraordinary reaction speed.

To be fair, if Li Yu hadn't intervened, even if he had sensed the arrow and dodged it, he certainly wouldn't have had time to save Tang Xiu, who was standing next to him.

On the contrary, Li Yu was able to rush over from a few steps away and save the two of them.

He had never seen a second speed like this in the world today.

At that moment, Tang Lian clearly realized that these four people were not ordinary.

They can only befriend each other, not antagonize each other.

These four powerful families are not to be trifled with!

"Thank you very much, Brother Yu." Tang Lian said sincerely.

"Ah."

Li Yu nodded, acknowledging his gratitude.

Ji Qiuzhe's face instantly fell. Why was he called "Little Ji" when he was just an ordinary person, but "Brother Yu" when he was called "A-Yu"?

Is this person trying to steal my partner?

Ji Qiuzhe suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"A-Lian—"

Feng Yichen jogged over with a worried look on his face. "Are you alright?"

Tang Lian finally broke into a cheerful smile: "It's nothing."

Feng Yichen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I was almost scared to death just now."

"Well, it's good that you're not around."

Feng Yichen blinked: "What do you mean? You really want me by your side?"

Tang Lian's intuition remained sharp, and he silently curled his lips into a smile.

"Ow~"

Qian Xiaoman let out a loud shout, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

"Sister Xiuxiu... Waaah... It's all my fault for not protecting you properly, I deserve to die..."

Tang Xiu looked speechlessly at the tall young man who was shedding large tears. "I'm not dead yet, isn't it a bit early for you to be mourning?"

"No, I don't want you to die, don't be angry..."

Qian Xiaoman wiped away the last tear that had spilled from the corner of her eye, trying her best to calm herself down.

"Look inside, there's something there!"

Ji Qiuzhe suddenly spoke up.

Everyone instinctively looked into the doorway.

Upon seeing that, I instantly felt a chill run down my spine.

Inside the gate, a small squad of soldiers dressed in black armor and carrying red-tasseled spears had appeared out of nowhere in the empty space.

The squad consisted of exactly nine soldiers, each wearing an iron mask that completely covered their face, leaving only two dark holes above their eyes.

What's terrifying is that there are no eyes behind the hole.

What's even more terrifying is that there's nothing behind the cave.

"Holy crap—when did this group of people appear?" Qian Xiaoman exclaimed in shock.

"Are you sure it's a person?" Ji Qiuzhe asked quietly.

Qian Xiaoman was uncertain and even more terrified.

“If we all attack together, we might be able to fight,” Li Yu suggested.

After hearing this, everyone took out their preferred weapons.

Tang Xiu pieced together a long sword, her eyes turning sharp. "Brother, don't worry about me later, I can manage on my own."

Tang Lian, who was just about to say "Follow me and I'll protect you," thought: ...

A sister is no longer under her brother's control once she grows up.

The soft, cuddly little girl who would cry to her older brother for the slightest grievance and ask him to help her get revenge has finally grown into a capable adult.

"……Row."

The eight men took a step forward and rushed towards the silent, humanoid figure without hesitation.

For a time, the sounds of clashing weapons filled the air.

These soldiers are not real people, and their movements are not nearly as agile as real people, but they are made of high-quality materials, with their entire bodies made of iron, making them virtually impervious to swords and spears.

Tang Xiu was, after all, a young woman, whose strength was far inferior to that of a man. She also couldn't find any weakness in the soldiers' defenses, and soon her arm was slashed.

However, she didn't care and continued to wave her arms without changing her expression. Her brother was strong, and as his sister, she couldn't hold him back.

"Brother, do you have a solution?"

"I'm thinking about it."

Tang Lian was a little anxious. His younger sister had been injured on her first training trip with him, and he was really worried about her.

He needs to resolve this as soon as possible.

Tang Lian steadied himself and forced himself to calm down and find a solution.

From the moment Tang Lian saw this group of soldiers, he was looking for a weakness, but the soldiers were good at both offense and defense, and it would be difficult to win by force alone.

As he was thinking, he caught a glimpse of Li Yu effortlessly taking on two soldiers at the same time, and his composure nearly crumbled.

"Watch out—" Feng Yichen took a moment to block a shot for him.

Tang Lian quickly focused his mind, cleared his mind of distractions, and began to observe calmly.

At the same time, Ji Qiuzhe was also looking for a breakthrough.

These soldiers wore no cloth, and the joints exposed during their movements, including the connection between their heads and necks, were all made of iron, making it impossible for any part of them to have any flaws.

So, perhaps the only thing worth trying on their entire bodies is their pair of dark, hollow eyes.

Thinking this, Ji Qiuzhe threw the dagger in his hand and stabbed it into the soldier's eye hole.

"昘——"

It's a sound similar to hitting gravel.

Immediately afterwards, the iron soldier in front of them suddenly stopped moving.

Ji Qiuzhe was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Punch their eyes!"

Tang Lian and Li Yu almost simultaneously pierced the eyes of the soldiers in front of them, and the others followed suit, finally freezing all the soldiers in place.

The group of people, exhausted and panting, finally calmed down and looked up to find yet another door in front of them.

It was a silver door.

"Brother Lian, this is your moment of glory." Ji Qiuzhe patted Tang Lian on the shoulder.

Tang Lian calmly stepped forward...

Within ten minutes, the door opened.

This time, Tang Xiu learned her lesson and didn't move forward.

However, this time there were no hidden weapons inside the door, only an empty blue brick path.
