Chapter 53

He hoped that Empress had no interest in him.

He was having it so hard.

... PS: Four updates!!! Begging for all kinds of data.

After the Academy Competition, Xu Chen, Ye Xuan, and Bu Fengshuang became widely renowned.

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

Many people were also discussing it: "It is rumored that after the Academy Competition, the Xuegong will begin selecting candidates for the Young Palace Master."

"Every year, the candidates for the 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 for the Young Palace Master should be assessed now."

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

"Others who stood up 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; this struggle for the Young Palace Master was a major plot point, and in his previous life, it naturally belonged to the protagonist, Ye Xuan.

As a villain, he was supposed to sign up and snatch it, but in the original text, he definitely would not have been able to win it in the end.

"Just sign up, then enter and participate in the Young Palace Master assessment, and that's it."

Xu Chen said lazily.

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

That was impossible.

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

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

Thinking of this, Xu Chen felt good and was about to leave.

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

Xu Chen froze, turned around, and saw that the person making the sound was none other than the Empress.

Xu Chen looked wary; what the hell did you want?

The Empress moved her body slightly and instantly disappeared from the Imperial Dynasty area.

The next second, she arrived beside Xu Chen, standing suspended in mid-air.

A faint fragrance immediately spread around, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.

That breathtakingly beautiful face combined with a threatening gaze made many people tremble in fear.

Xu Chen asked: "Empress, do you need something?"

His words carried a tone of keeping others at a thousand miles' distance.

Luo Shen was displeased: "Can't I find you if I have nothing to do?"

You stinky man, I, the Empress, came personally to see you, intending to protect you, and you don't even show a good face?

Xu Chen looked pained: "Empress, you are busy with official duties; please don't."

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

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

Luo Shen said calmly: "Official matters have their time to be handled; what, you don't welcome me, the Empress?"

Xu Chen bared his teeth: "Empress, you are joking; I am used to being alone."

Hearing this, the Empress immediately showed a trace of heartache.

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

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

She felt it was all her fault; after all, in her previous life, she had also used Xu Chen and ultimately did not treat him well.

For a moment, she said guiltily: "It doesn't matter; 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 really don't know if the plot will collapse completely.

Xu Chen nodded: "Perhaps; Empress, what do you need me for?"

Luo Shen said helplessly: "After you graduate, could you come work under me? The treatment will definitely not be bad."

Xu Chen refused on the spot: "No."

Luo Shen: "..."

That rejection was too fast; damn it.

Hearing this, Shangguan Luoyun immediately felt very relieved.

Xu Chen doesn't even listen to my words; how could he listen to yours? Tsk tsk.

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

The other female leads, such as Chi Lian, Li Ruoling, Jiang Hong, and Jiang Lan, also watched and smiled lightly.

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

Xu Chen continued: "Your Majesty, why don't you go find Ye Xuan? He practices Dan-Wu Dual Cultivation."

Ye Xuan: "..."

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

In a moment, the Empress will probably insult me again.

Indeed, upon hearing this, the Female Emperor said coldly, "Does he even deserve it?"

Ye Xuan's jaw twitched. Damn! I wasn't looking for you, okay?

For a moment, Ye Xuan was filled with extreme rage, wishing he could beat Xu Chen to a pulp.

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

By then, I will definitely crush you thoroughly.

Having spoken, Ye Xuan let out a cold snort and swept his sleeve before departing.

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

Luo Shen said indifferently, "I will surely move you, making you serve under my banner."

Having spoken, Luo Shen swept her sleeve and left.

Shangguan Luoyun narrowed her eyes slightly. Moved? That won't work.

Isn't it better to present the cooked rice? While this enemy hasn't grown strong yet.

Take him down in one blow; by then, could he possibly resist? Impossible.

At this moment, Xu Chen did not know that Shangguan Luoyun had already set her sights on him.

Poor him; tonight he might be completely at her mercy.
