He'd rather run than be turned into a cannon fodder for the broken engagement.

The night breeze carried the sound of two people talking over there.

"I ask, you answer..."

"The May Fourth Movement..."

The sound was intermittent, and only fragments of words could be heard, making it indistinct, but Fu Xun still managed to make out a few sentences.

"...I don't know Fu Xun..."

"...He said his name was Yin Xun..."

Fu Xun froze completely.

-

late at night.

Under a large tree on the back hill, two figures sat on the ground.

"So, what is this world really like? What is your mission? What problem has arisen that requires you to complete this mission?"

Determined to uncover all the plot details Wang Chen knew, Leng Huan seemed to have a strong survival instinct and asked questions.

Wang Chen said everything he could.

"This is an old-school underdog-turned-hero novel, a complete collection of melodramatic tropes and face-slapping moments. Since I've become the villain, I naturally have to be a stepping stone to help the protagonist grow. The problem is, the problem is, this novel inexplicably had a terrible ending. It was supposed to be about ascension, but the protagonist ended up destroying himself!"

He looked bitter and resentful: "Oh, speaking of which, my identity is because my fiancée, Shen Hanyan, is obsessed with the male lead, which makes her dislike him and oppose him at every turn. She eventually went down the path of no return as a villain."

"Is Shen Hanyan the same medical cultivator from before? Is she your fiancée?" Leng Huan stared wide-eyed at Wang Chen, inwardly exclaiming how awesome he was.

Wang Chen blushed: "That's right."

"She's just cannon fodder too, so are you going to change her fate?"

"Definitely." The male protagonist, Long Aotian, will eventually become a madman, killing not only all his enemies but also countless female confidantes. When he gets ruthless, he won't even spare himself.

Who are the female supporting characters?

"The first cannon fodder female supporting character, Leng Huanxue, has Ji Linlang, the ethereal fairy who later becomes engaged to the male lead, as the main heroine. Oh, there are too many other female supporting characters; I only remember Xu Huanqing, Qi, Zhao, Wu..."

Including Zhao Yumin, the trio who were kidnapped back then... After listening to Wang Chen read out a string of names, Leng Huan really couldn't imagine that Qi Ruxing and Fu Xun were still involved. Looking at it this way, this damn plot has gone completely off track!

The key point is that, according to the original plot, she, the cannon fodder, was still obediently staying in the Leng family. Because her attempt to elope with Wen Ziqi failed, she eventually got engaged to the Murong family.

Three years later, at the start of the Immortal Alliance Conference, she encountered the male protagonist who had regained his strength. After courting death, she was blacklisted by the male protagonist and ultimately destroyed.

Wang Chen said that the plot was being revised. Leng Huan shivered in the wind. She didn't know if the male lead's ending would be changed. She only knew that if she didn't run away, she would definitely die!

Who knows if this plot will go crazy? She's a penniless transmigrator, she has nothing... God hasn't given her anything. She's definitely cannon fodder!

"So what are you going to do?" After finishing his sentence, Wang Chen stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at his fellow villager.

"I don't know, let's run first." Leng Huan stood up and dusted himself off.

She donned her concealment artifact once more: "Goodbye, fellow villager." With that, she turned and gathered her strength.

After chatting with Wang Chen for most of the day and getting the information he needed, Leng Huan didn't even return to Ruyi Pavilion. Instead, he used his concealment magic treasure to escape to the Huanyue Immortal Sect's mountain gate, intending to flee down the mountain overnight!

Having spiritual power is great! You can use a spatial ring, and everything is inside the ring, making it easy to run away at any time.

Forget the Leng family, forget the Immortal Alliance Conference, forget cannon fodder—get out of here!

Stay as far away from the center of the battle as possible. She's just a weakling and cannon fodder, so let her hide and die on her own. Amitabha!

While muttering to himself, he sped away like lightning.

As the saying goes, "The weather is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant."

Leng Huan had thought about everything, things he should and shouldn't have, but he never expected that just as he reached the mountain gate and was about to take flight on his sword, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears—

"Brother Huan."

At that moment, Leng Huan removed her magic weapon and was performing a sword control incantation. Her sword was just floating in mid-air when, a second before she gathered her energy to leap onto the sword, this voice echoed softly behind her.

The night was cool and quiet.

His voice was as deep and pleasant as ever, with great penetrating power, but at this moment it sounded like a devil's whisper in her ear!

Leng Huan froze, his magic spells faltered, and his longsword clattered to the ground. The sound was like a switch being turned on, and Leng Huan finally regained his senses.

She slowly turned around like a doll, scratching her head with one hand and picking up her sword with the other, looking at the tall figure that slowly emerged from the darkness, wondering when he had been waiting there.

"Ah, hahaha, what are you doing here?" Leng Huan chuckled, his voice as usual, unless one listened closely and could detect a slight tremor.

"Huan-ge, where are you going?"

Why didn't you tell me?

Instead of answering, Fu Xun asked a question, taking steps forward and staring at her casually yet compellingly as he spoke and moved closer.

Leng Huan: "..."

Don't come over here!

There's a wide road ahead, so everyone can go their own way!

Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please let me run away!

-

The clouds drifted by, gradually obscuring half of the full moon.

Under the cover of night, two people stood silently locked in a stalemate at the massive stone tablet at the mountain gate, seemingly blending into the darkness.

"Junior brother, are you also practicing swordsmanship because you can't sleep?"

Unable to understand why Fu Xun was here, Leng Huan could only blame her bad luck. She awkwardly raised her sword and gestured a couple of times: "Well, I also came here to meditate and practice swordsmanship, thinking I could go down the mountain tomorrow morning."

At this moment, the mountain-guarding disciple who had been watching them for a long time finally bowed and said, "Esteemed guests, this is not a suitable place to practice swordsmanship."

Leng Huan: "..."

The timing of this dismantling was perfect.

Fu Xunchao nodded to the disciple guarding the mountain: "We don't practice swordsmanship."

Leng Huan knew he couldn't leave for the time being.

As dawn broke, two people sat side by side in meditation in front of the spacious mountain gate square.

"Senior sister, is there something you need to do after coming down the mountain?"

"...Ah, something came up."

"In that case, I'll accompany you down the mountain tomorrow morning."

"No need! There's really no need! You're recovering from your injury..."

In Leng Huan's view, Fu Xun was a ticking time bomb, with a sense of preordained danger.

Fu Xun's expression remained unchanged. After a few moments, he asked, "Senior Sister, is there anything you want to ask me?"

Leng Huan immediately shook his head: "No!"

Seeing this, Fu Xun smiled silently, then suddenly stood up and walked to the railing of the stone steps leading to the mountain gate. He looked at the distant horizon where dawn was about to break; the light was hazy, and the background was still grayish-blue.

He stood there like a statue, tall and sturdy. Although he didn't say a word, the subtle sense of oppression made it impossible to ignore his aura, and Leng Huan became even more timid.

This is Long Aotian.

What will happen when they grow up?

After thinking for a couple of seconds, considering the possibility of her striking first with her current abilities, she quickly concluded that she would die even faster.

However, judging from the current situation, Fu Xun is still a relatively upright young man. As long as she stays honest and doesn't do anything reckless, she shouldn't end up like in the original story, right?

As the sun rose, Fu Xun called Leng Huan to come down the mountain together, and she readily agreed.

—Hehe, Long Aotian is constantly surrounded by danger, she doesn't want to be in the center of the vortex!

The two descended the mountain together. As the sun rose, Leng Huan recalled his days in Lin Family Village and suddenly realized, how could Yin Xun be Fu Xun?

He's the male lead, and it's not bad to be his brother, but why does he have to be the arrogant protagonist who gets dumped?

Long Aotian is one thing, but he happens to be her former fiancé, with whom her family broke off the engagement!

She was just cannon fodder, destined to be reduced to ashes.

It would have been better if she had transmigrated before the engagement was called off; she could have reasoned with him before breaking off the engagement. Now, things are like this…

The center of the plot is very dangerous...
