After reciting that embarrassing line of mockery, Lin Xiao felt thoroughly uncomfortable and disgusted.

He had no choice.

As a stereotypical villain, he had to attract enough hatred with this move!

Fortunately, the male lead of such novels had always been Gary Stu. Not a single such line about him could be tolerated.

The male lead in front of him, Ye Chen, lowered his head. His handsome face looked gloomy and terrifying, and his eyes were blood-red. He was like a furious lion!

The first wave of taunting—was a success!

Damn you, you’re still pretty dedicated as the male lead!

That’s right, be angry.

Lin Xiao was secretly overjoyed. Then, with his hands akimbo, he raised his head and sneered sarcastically, “Heh, brat, who do you think you are looking at? Let me tell you! Once you enter the Azure Mist Sect, you have to bow down even if you’re a dragon or a tiger!”

“Who am I? I, Lin Xiao, don’t need to introduce myself!”

“You want to fight me. Are you even capable enough for that?!”

With the help of his True Qi, his words spread throughout the entire square!

He was domineering, arrogant, and absolutely ruthless!

At the same time, with a frown, his handsome and flawless face turned cold and sinister. A petrifying, sharp sword intent surged around him, enveloping a radius of 100 feet!

“Ah! This Eldest Senior Brother… has a fierce temper! I don’t dare to join the Divine Phoenix Peak anymore!” A young girl was so intimidated that she cried on the spot.

“He’s too arrogant and domineering! He doesn’t have a cultivator’s image at all. He clearly looks more like… the leader of the underworld!”

“You guys didn’t believe me… This Eldest Senior Brother glared at me from the corner of his eye just now. I almost peed my pants!”

“Cherish your life and stay away from the Divine Phoenix Peak!”

At this moment, the surrounding youths all took a few steps back in fear!

Listening to the comments around him, Lin Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

Being such a hated villain was just a testament to his acting abilities!

After all, under the damn author’s pen, the Lin Xiao in the original novel was such a despicable and stereotypically evil character!

“Elder Stone, this guy is too detestable. I…”

“I think I really want to strike.”

Under everyone’s gaze, the young man, being put in a difficult spot and looking extremely embarrassed, seemed to be muttering to himself!

Lin Xiao, seeing this, was secretly overjoyed again!

Of course, he knew that Ye Chen was talking to the mysterious old man in the ring!

Next, he would ignore the old man’s objections to fight him!

As a Gary Stu, everything would be alright as long as he was hot-blooded and brainless.

After all, according to the power system of the original novel, although Ye Chen was only at the peak of the Qi Refinement realm in the cultivation path, he was one of the few eighth realm grandmasters in martial arts in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

This was also the trump card that he would use in the future!

“We did it! The storyline is slowly returning to normal!”

“Compared to those useless female leads, this male lead is just too good!”

Lin Xiao almost choked and laughed out loud.

Clank!

A crisp sound pierced the air.

Under tens of thousands of stunned, shocked, terrified eyes,

The young man in black pulled out the sharp black sword on his back!

“A Grandmaster—cannot be mocked!”

Ye Chen held a huge sword in one hand while his entire body was surrounded by the world-destroying murderous aura of a martial artist. He looked like he was ready to wipe out the entire world!

“Heavens! He’s actually a martial artist as well!”

“Such a powerful and terrifying aura, he is at least at the level of an eighth-realm grandmaster!”

“No wonder he’s neither servile nor overbearing! A master-level martial artist can definitely hit back at a Connate cultivator!”

“Such a young grandmaster… He’s probably the top prodigy of all four dynasties of the mortal world combined!”

“I remember now! This person’s name is Ye Chen! He’s the heir of the Great Zhou Empire’s Beichuan King! The Beichuan King and his family were exterminated by the Empress of Great Zhou for treason, but he was the only one who escaped! Now, his wanted poster is everywhere in the Great Zhou Empire.”

Someone in the crowd shouted, exposing the black-clothed youth’s identity.

At this point, the people were in an uproar!

One had to know that the Great Zhou’s empress, Wu Yue, was the most revered overlord among the emperors of many mortal dynasties!

Not only did this woman have extraordinary martial arts talent, but she was a brilliant strategist and had great wisdom. In just nine years after she ascended the throne, she had swept through all 13 countries of Lanzhou with the ambition to unify the nine continents. It was said that she was also a peerless beauty that was rarely seen in four thousand years!

Such a perfectly well-rounded woman.

It was not an exaggeration to say that she was the reincarnation of a fairy from the heavens and was favored by the Heavenly Dao!

This Beichuan Prince, Ye Chen, could actually escape from her. How strong were this person’s abilities and luck?

Unimaginable!

For a moment, everyone looked at the young man in black with respect.

At this moment, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and calmly observed the situation. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Yes, at this point in the plot, everything was normal!

Next, he had to wait for a certain woman to appear and help Ye Chen complete the first round of face-slapping!

“Stop! What do you want!”

Just as everyone was discussing, a cold and stern female voice sounded!

Everyone turned to look.

He saw a gorgeous girl with a red asymmetrical dress and an impressive figure flying over on a sword!

“She’s beautiful!”

“She has not only a unique face but also a rare and impressive figure!”

“The inner collar of her shirt is so big. Oh no, it’s so white!”

“Is she a… fairy of the Azure Mist Sect?”

“I originally thought that Master Su and Master Xiao of Azure Mist Mountain were already outstandingly stunning. I didn’t expect there to be another top-notch beauty. Which lineage’s beloved disciple is this?”

The youths present were all smitten.

Ye Chen, too, subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Lin Xiao stole a glance and saw everything, feeling even more gratified.

This finally felt like a moneymaking harem!

At the same time, he actually felt a sense of appreciation for Ye Chen!

Finally, someone was working as hard as he was!

And now, Second Junior Sister Guo Yourong had rushed over to help the male lead save the situation. Things had finally returned to normal!

“They’re back, they’re all back…”

At this moment, Lin Xiao almost shed tears of relief.

However, in the next scene…

Something unexpected happened!
