He hoped that Empress had no interest in him.

His life was too hard.

After the grand competition among the academies, Xu Chen, Ye Xuan, and Bu Fengshuang rose to great fame.

In an instant, the three became the top candidates for the new Young Palace Master.

Many began to murmur: "It is rumored that after the academy competition, the Immortal Palace will begin selecting candidates for the Young Palace Master."

"Every year, the candidates for Young Palace Master are chosen from the new students; once the previous Young Palace Master graduates, the candidates take their place."

"The recent Young Palace Master has just graduated, so the new candidates should now undergo assessment."

"Xu Chen, Ye Xuan, and Bu Fengshuang are the best candidates."

"Others who stepped forward from other academies today also have a chance, such as Jiang Feng from the Sword Dao Academy."

When Shangguan Luoyun announced the end of the competition, Xu Chen heard people from the Body Dao Academy talking.

He nodded; the struggle for the Young Palace Master was a major plot point, and in his past life, it naturally belonged to the protagonist, Ye Xuan.

As a villain, he was supposed to sign up and fight for it, but in the original story, he would definitely lose in the end.

"Just sign up, enter, and participate in the Young Palace Master assessment; that's all there is to it."

Xu Chen said lazily.

He didn't fight or compete; would the Young Palace Master's token really come into his arms?

Impossible.

This time, he believed that as long as he kept a low profile, the plot would absolutely not collapse.

Even if Jesus came, he couldn't stop it; that's what he said.

Thinking this, Xu Chen felt cheerful and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, a dignified female voice called out directly to Xu Chen: "Xu Chen, wait!"

Xu Chen froze, turned around, and saw that the speaker was none other than the Female Emperor.

Xu Chen's face showed alertness: What the hell do you want?

The Female Emperor moved lightly and vanished instantly from the Imperial Region.

In the next second, she appeared beside Xu Chen, hovering in midair.

A faint fragrance immediately spread around, making one feel refreshed and at ease.

Her breathtaking beauty combined with her intimidating gaze made many people tremble in fear.

Xu Chen asked: "Your Majesty, is there something you need?"

His words carried a tone of keeping others at a distance.

Luoshen was displeased: "Can't I seek you out if there's nothing wrong?"

You stinking man; I, the Emperor, came personally to see you and intend to protect you, yet you don't even show a good face?

Xu Chen looked pained: "Your Majesty, you are busy with affairs; please, don't."

I beg you all to go find the male lead; instead of seeking him, you insist on targeting me, a villain.

He just wanted to keep a low profile; why was it so hard?

Luoshen said calmly: "Official matters have their time to be handled. What, do you dislike me, the Emperor?"

Xu Chen bared his teeth: "Your Majesty is joking; I am just used to being alone."

Hearing this, the Female Emperor immediately showed a trace of heartache.

In his past life, Xu Chen was always alone, used, beaten, and abused.

Eventually, he completely broke down and turned into the ultimate villain.

She felt it was all her fault; after all, she had used Xu Chen in her past life and ultimately failed to treat him well.

For a moment, she said guiltily: "It's okay; in the future, someone will care for you."

Xu Chen: "???"

Sister, calm down; I don't need you.

I am really fine being alone right now; please let me follow the plot properly.

Whenever you female leads get close, I truly don't know if the plot will completely collapse.

Xu Chen nodded: "Perhaps; what does Your Majesty want with me?"

Luoshen said helplessly: "After you graduate, could you come serve under me? The treatment will certainly be good."

Xu Chen refused on the spot: "No."

Luoshen: "..."

That rejection was too fast; damn it.

Hearing this, Shangguan Luoyun felt extremely relieved.

Xu Chen doesn't even listen to me, the Palace Master; how could he listen to you? Tsk tsk.

Yun Yao and Feng Yang watched with amusement; see, it wasn't their problem; everyone got rejected.

The other female leads, such as Chilian, Li Ruoling, Jiang Hong, and Jiang Lan, also watched with a light smile.

It seemed they still had a chance to win Xu Chen over.

Xu Chen continued: "Why doesn't Your Majesty go find Ye Xuan? He cultivates both alchemy and martial arts."

Ye Xuan: "..."

You bastard, just shut up; you drag me into everything every time.

In a moment, the Female Emperor will probably insult me again.

Sure enough, hearing this, the Female Emperor said coldly: "Does he even deserve it?"

Ye Xuan's mouth twitched; damn! I wasn't trying to seek you out, okay?

For a moment, Ye Xuan was furious inside, wishing he could beat Xu Chen up.

Xu Chen, just you wait; we'll see each other at the Young Palace Master assessment.

By then, I, Laozi, will definitely crush you thoroughly.

Having spoken, Ye Xuan snorted coldly and swept his sleeve away.

Xu Chen winced: "Then Your Majesty, do as you please, but don't come looking for me."

Luo Shen said indifferently, "I, the Son of Heaven, will surely move you to serve under my banner."

Having spoken, Luo Shen swept her sleeve and departed.

Shangguan Luoyun narrowed her eyes slightly; moving him? Useless.

Would it not be better to present the cooked rice? While this enemy has not yet grown strong.

Seize him in one stroke; by then, could he possibly resist? Impossible.

At this moment, Xu Chen did not know he had already been targeted by Shangguan Luoyun.

Poor him; tonight he might be completely controlled.
