Chapter 5: The Female Lead Stalking a Madwoman? How Bold!

Li Ruoling was also curious; the author had not let Ye Xuan explain the matter of refining the Human Spirit Elixir himself.

To project an air of prestige, it was left for a passerby to say.

Moreover, the location was not here, but at the Jixia Academy.

Now that Ye Xuan has spoken of it, what exactly does he intend?

She could not figure it out, so she merely nodded faintly and said, "Is that so? Then it's acceptable."

She knew the plot well and was too lazy to question it, but equally, too lazy to be amazed.

If you can refine elixirs, so be it; what does it matter to her? He is not her Xu Chen brother.

Most importantly, in his past life, Ye Xuan befriended her solely to acquire resources.

She still had to pretend affectionately that she liked Ye Xuan and help him scheme against Xu Chen in various ways; it was truly disgusting.

Xu Chen inwardly thought the two of them were excellent actors, worthy of a perfect score.

Ye Xuan was stunned on the spot. Wasn't he such a genius? Shouldn't she be shocked, gasp in awe, or show approval in her eyes?

How could she just say "not bad" and leave it at that? Could it be that Jixia Academy was full of geniuses?

For a moment, he began to doubt life itself.

His master, Spirit Venerable, transmitted a voice to him: "Do not doubt yourself. Perhaps Li Ruoling has seen so many geniuses that she reacts this way."

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth. If that were the case, he would definitely work even harder to make Li Ruoling look at him with new respect.

In tomorrow's examination, he would secure first place.

Unexpectedly, Elder Ming You beside Li Ruoling exclaimed with joy: "What? At such a young age, you can refine a Third-Rank Human Spirit Elixir?"

Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned, then realized an opportunity had arisen: "Yes. If Elder Ruo does not believe me, you may test me."

Elder Ming You laughed heartily: "Hahaha, that is wonderful. If it is true, you may enter Jixia Academy directly. Junior Brother Tian Huo will surely like you."

Hearing this, Ye Xuan regained his confidence, inwardly thinking that this elder at least knew how to appreciate talent.

However, after a moment's thought, he said: "Elder, although I could bypass the assessment to enter the academy, I still wish to pass the combat assessment personally."

After all, I hope to enter the academy not only through the path of alchemy but also through my own combat strength.

I, Ye Xuan, cultivate both alchemy and martial arts!"

His words revealed a tone of arrogance and confidence.

A look of appreciation flashed in Elder Ming You's eyes: "Very well. In tomorrow's assessment, regardless of success or failure, you will enter Jixia Academy."

Ye Xuan clasped his hands and bowed: "Thank you, Elder."

Having finished speaking, Ye Xuan glanced at Xu Chen, as if to say, "See that? Can you do it?"

Xu Chen shrugged. "Tsk, not bad. I didn't expect the plot to return to its original course."

The system said that completing the major plotline was enough, so he might as well do it.

Tomorrow, he would simply play the villain properly, lose, and then enter Jixia Academy. How delightful.

Having made up his mind, Xu Chen followed his father, Xu Ming, and returned directly to the Xu family.

However, what he did not expect was that Li Ruoling actually followed him back to his home.

At some point, when Xu Chen returned to his own courtyard, Li Ruoling appeared behind him.

Her voice entered Xu Chen's ears: "Xu Chen, do you have confidence in defeating Ye Xuan tomorrow?"

Xu Chen felt a headache. Big sister, you are the female lead. Why are you always following me, a villain?

Even when I was a simp in my past life, I didn't dare to tail you like this, okay?

She must be here to spy on information for Ye Xuan.

He turned around with a pained expression: "Holy Maiden, is it appropriate for you to tail me like this?"

Li Ruoling's face flushed slightly, and she stamped her foot: "Oh, just tell me, can you do it or not?"

Xu Chen: "..."

Can a man say he cannot do it?

He immediately adopted the tone of a villain: "That little Ye Xuan is merely skilled at alchemy. What is there to mention?"

Li Ruoling smiled and said: "Not necessarily."

As far as she knew, Ye Xuan was treacherous and cunning, playing the pig to eat the tiger, hiding his realm and trump cards.

In the end, he defeated Xu Chen and entered Jixia Academy with the top score.

But Xu Chen was extremely arrogant, hiding nothing, so he naturally lost.

Xu Chen was speechless. Of course I know I cannot win.

But I never intended to win anyway!

Big sister, I beg you to leave quickly. Do not disturb my plot progression; it makes me anxious.

However, on the surface, he snorted coldly: "If the Holy Maiden favors Ye Xuan, then leave quickly. We are not familiar with each other anyway."

Li Ruoling pouted and said in a aggrieved tone: "Here, I prepared this elixir for you, the Xuan Ling Elixir. After taking it, you will surely advance two realms."

I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but who knew you would be so fierce to me and try to drive me away.

You truly do not recognize a good heart. I hate you, I hate you so much."

Having finished speaking, she stuffed the Fourth-Rank Xuan Ling Elixir into Xu Chen's hands, then pouted and refused to look at him.

Xu Chen was utterly stunned on the spot.

What the hell? You want to lie low beside me, and you also want to give me a Xuan Ling Elixir?

Could it be that Ye Xuan has one too, or even a better one?

He examined it carefully and found that the Xuan Ling Elixir was genuine, with dense spiritual energy and absolutely no issues.

He thought that if he consumed both the Human Spirit Elixir and the Xuan Ling Elixir simultaneously, he would surely advance two realms, perhaps even three.

Of course, if Ye Xuan also took one, he would probably still be unable to win.

"Fine, I will accept it. You may leave now."

Xu Chen originally intended to throw away the Xuan Ling Elixir, but he found that the system gave no warning.

In that case, since the female lead wanted to give him a Xuan Ling Elixir, there was no reason for him, the villain, not to accept it.

But you, Li Ruoling, could never move Xu Chen's heart, after all, you had stabbed him in the back countless times.

Li Ruoling: "..."

What is going on? In this life, Xu Chen seems to like me not at all!

She began to panic.
