In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 34 Su Yuan: I'm the real protagonist! (Please read on!!!)
"Grandpa, I..."

Just as Chen Nuoyi was about to speak, she was interrupted by the middle-aged man.

“Noyi, I’ve seen everything you’ve done these past few days.”

"I never imagined that you would degenerate so quickly after leaving the Chen family. Not only do you not cultivate properly, but you also hang out with some brat every day after school!"

"If you associate with someone like this, do you still look like a proper heiress of the Chen family? Come home with me right now."

Grandpa Chen said with a sense of disappointment.

Su Yuan: "..."

Logically speaking, after being humiliated like this, shouldn't one say something like "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" or "Don't underestimate a young man's potential"?
But why am I not angry at all? Why do I even feel a little guilty?

Is it because he really managed to completely corrupt someone's granddaughter within a few days, reaching a 100% degree of depravity?
So, what Grandpa Chen said seems to be... entirely correct?
Chen Nuoyi was a little angry when she heard this. She tried her best to raise her pretty face, bracing herself against the overwhelming pressure from the elder in front of her, and said seriously:
“I learned a lot from Su Yuan, and I don’t think being with him is decadent.”

"And Grandpa, do you know that it's actually very difficult for ordinary people to make money? If I hadn't learned money-making skills from Su Yuan, how could I have completely broken away from the Chen family and become independent?"

The girl spoke more and more fluently, and towards the end, her tone became even more forceful and resolute:
"I won't go back to the Chen family. I can live a good life on my own. Grandpa, please go back."

Su Yuan, standing to the side, secretly gave Chen Nuoyi a thumbs up.

Well said, as expected of the Holy Maiden of the Righteous Path, my first companion.

But clearly, this old man Chen wasn't going to let it go so easily, and said impatiently:
“Noyi, I can indulge your momentary willfulness, and I will not stop you even if you rebel and want to be independent.”

"But as the daughter of the Chen family, there are some things you must do. When you take the college entrance examination, you must apply to the Star River Dao Sect, one of the top ten immortal academies."

Chen Nuoyi paused slightly, then frowned and said:
"why?"

Grandpa Chen said calmly, "Li Zhengxing of the Li family has already been chosen by the Xinghe Dao Sect. The Li family intends to form a marriage alliance with my Chen family. After you two young people go to the Xinghe Dao Sect, you should cultivate your relationship more."

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Su Yuan:
"In short, I can't continue to associate with this kind of scoundrel."

Su Yuan: "..."

Hmm, it's finally here, such a cliché development.

Not content with the elders forcibly breaking up a young couple who had secretly pledged their lives to each other, they also had to add a wealthy young man from a prominent family as the main villain.

Hehe, so the main plot is clear now? I have to be invincible before the college entrance exam, crush that rich kid named Li Zhengxing under my feet, and slap the Chen and Li families in the face.

Once I get to university, will the Chen and Li families, along with that brat Li Zhengxing, continue to use overt and covert means to suppress and target me? And will I, the overpowered one, wipe them all out in the end?
But the Chen family is, after all, Chen Nuoyi's own family, and perhaps she can clear her name along the way.

What the hell? That kind of NT expansion was already outdated 100,000 years ago!
Su Yuan felt he was speechless.

Why didn't I awaken a吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical commentary) system? I would have taken off in no time!
Besides, there's been no romantic progress between me and Chen Nuoyi; we're just master and apprentice.

However, there are also plots where the male and female leads have no real relationship, but only have one or two encounters due to some trivial matters, and end up being resented by the villain.

It's the same old story!

"I disagree!"

Chen Nuoyi was clearly very angry about this arrangement and protested loudly.

Grandpa Chen remained unmoved and said calmly:
"I'll come back when you fill out your college application."

Having said that, he closed the window of the flying boat, and the flying boat soared into the sky.

Only Chen Nuoyi and Su Yuan remained, disheveled in the wind.

Chen Nuoyi clenched her fists, silently gazing in the direction the black airship had departed. After a long while, she whispered:

“This is another reason why I don’t want to go back to the Chen family. Su Yuan, I’m sorry that Grandpa spoke rudely to you just now. I apologize on his behalf.”

Su Yuan shook his head and asked:

"So, class monitor, what are you planning to do? Are you going to apply to the Star River Dao Sect?"

Chen Nuoyi shook her head vigorously:

"Absolutely not! I've barely met Li Zhengxing, and going to the Star River Dao Sect to build a relationship with him is not part of my plans."

Su Yuanfu added, "In that case, we should work even harder to improve ourselves."

"If we can be specially admitted by one of the nine top immortal cultivation academies besides Xinghe University, we might be able to finalize our university choices before your grandfather interferes."

Chen Nuoyi was taken aback by his words and turned to look at Su Yuan. A glimmer of light gradually rose in her slightly reddened, bright eyes, and a radiant smile suddenly appeared:

"Su Yuan, you're right."

"And Su Yuan, what about you? Have you thought about which of the top ten immortal cultivation academies you want to apply to?"

Su Yuan thought for a moment, then shook his head:
"I haven't decided yet, but we can rule out Star River Dao Sect."

Just kidding. Rich young men in novels are always super vengeful. Even if there's really nothing between me and Chen Nuoyi, she'll definitely take her anger out on me.

Going to the Star River Dao Sect would be like asking for trouble.
However, Chen Nuoyi clearly hadn't thought of that, and seemed to be having some impure thoughts. A blush rose on her pretty face, and she said sincerely:
"Coach, please help me earn more money in the future, so we can both be in the top ten together."

Su Yuan didn't notice the difference in Chen Nuoyi's expression. Just as he was about to nod in agreement, suddenly, another sharp whistle pierced the sky.

The next second, a luxurious, streamlined airship with star emblems covering its surface landed in front of the two.

This airship is clearly not luxury-oriented, but performance-oriented, but its price is definitely no less than the airship that Grandpa Chen just rode in.

The moment Su Yuan saw the flying boat, he vaguely guessed what was going on.

The next second, the flying boat's gate disappeared, and a handsome young man dressed in luxurious clothes walked out, immediately attracting the attention of almost all the women around him.

Su Yuan rolled his eyes.

Without a doubt, this must be Li Zhengxing.

Grandpa Chen had barely left when the villainous young master showed up to stir up trouble. Was he in such a hurry?

Just then, a crisp "ding-dong" sound popped into Su Yuan's mind.

Has the truth finally come out?

[A righteous prodigy, deeply in love with the Holy Maiden, discovers that she, whom he cherishes dearly, has been secretly leaving her sect, staying out all night, and behaving intimately with a man of unknown origin, even going so far as to drive and humiliate him at his beck and call!]

"I'm already his, please don't come looking for me again!" The image of the Holy Maiden coldly uttering these words to him even flashed through the mind of the righteous prodigy.

Therefore, the righteous prodigies, deeply pitying the Holy Maiden, have decided to take action to eliminate you, this demon, and rescue the Holy Maiden from her dire straits. How will you, a powerful and ruthless demon, respond?

Su Yuan: "..."

Why did you have to choose this time to cause trouble with the trench system?

Moreover, I'm clearly the protagonist in this storyline, while this rich young master is the villain!

How could you portray him as a tragic hero? You're really biased!
While Su Yuan was mentally ranting, Li Zhengxing was already walking towards him and Chen Nuoyi.

Faced with this uninvited guest, Chen Nuoyi was slightly nervous. While staring intently at the newcomer, she subconsciously leaned closer to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan also became wary.

Although he didn't really want to get involved, it was a system task, and he'd been caught red-handed with Chen Nuoyi, so it was too late to leave.

However, the arrogant and brainless villainous young master that Su Yuan had imagined did not appear.

After carefully examining the two of them, Li Zhengxing's eyes lit up, and he appeared in front of Su Yuan in a flash.

Before Su Yuan could react, Li Zhengxing excitedly grabbed Su Yuan's hand and said:

"Are you Chen Nuoyi's boyfriend? It's a pleasure to meet you! It's so good to see you!"

Su Yuan: "???"

Chen Nuoyi, who was completely ignored: "???"
