After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

It's okay, anyway, Ye Feng's face is about 80% similar to his.

So, the protagonist has to be resurrected! He needs someone to take the blame for him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu sat up with renewed vigor. He had another reason to revive the protagonist. The person across the table glanced at him.

"Has she recovered? Speaking of which, the Xuanling Sect also published a clarification in the Mountain and Water Gazette. They said that Li Yunshang's behavior a few days ago was controlled by someone, and it was not her own will. At the same time, they are making every effort to apprehend inner disciple Ye Feng. The reward for anyone who captures him and brings him back to the sect is... let me see, one... ten... hundred... one thousand high-grade spirit stones. Hey! Brother, what do you think, how about we...?"

"Get lost."

Looking at the intense gaze from across the way, Xiao Yu knew perfectly well what he was up to.

In truth, the fact that we were able to escape the Xuanling Sect unscathed this time was really thanks to this disciple of the Thieves' Sect.

At the time, the prison was sealed off, and the only exit was blocked by a huge crowd that had rushed over upon hearing the news.

With Xiao Yu's abilities, it's not certain that he can break through.

Unless you use the Qiankun Escape Talisman.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yu's mind went blank at the time, but luckily, the thief from the neighboring thief's guild passed through the wall next door.

She grabbed Xiao Yu and ran outside, passing through the wall and out.

That's right, it's through walls, and Xiao Yu was included as well.

As expected of a disciple of the Thieves' Guild, his skills are truly divine.

Xiao Yu looked at the mouth opposite him, who was taking a big gulp of wine from the wine jug, with a complicated expression.

The reputation of the thieves' gang isn't very good, but they haven't had any murders because of it.

His act of taking the blame is, in a sense, very similar to that of a thief!

In any case, the person in front of him had saved his life and brought him out of the Xuanling Sect.

"So, why did you rescue me?" Xiao Yu asked.

"what why?"

He picked up a mouthful of food with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, while his shifty eyes glanced at Xiao Yu with a puzzled look.

“Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. We’re not related. You could have slipped away quietly while I was distracting everyone, instead of running away with me in front of everyone. The latter is much more difficult than the former.”

"You mean this!" He put down his chopsticks, stood up, placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and stared intently at Xiao Yu with bright eyes.

Actually... I've got my eye on you!

Boom!

"Oh my god, it was just a joke, don't take it personally!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu put the stool down again, the sound of which attracted the attention of many people.

At a table not far away, a petite figure saw Xiao Yu punch her in the mouth, knocking her to the ground. Her already small body shrank into a ball, trembling.

"Sorry, please be more specific next time! I've been a bit stressed lately because of some trivial matters."

Xiao Yu apologized and quickly pulled his mouth up from the ground. Seeing that nothing had happened, the people around him turned their attention away and continued discussing other things. They were soon drawn to another news item in the local gazette:

The newly accepted disciple of the Wanyun Pavilion sect leader has undergone a gender transformation into a beautiful young woman after swallowing an extremely special herb. She is still searching for the herb that can turn her back into a human. The sect leader is offering a large reward for any spiritual item related to this matter, with no upper limit on the price.

In an instant, the popularity of inner disciple Ye Feng was overshadowed, and Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Because of his heroic act, the patrols on the streets have been tripled today. He believes that if he were to run into the street, tear off his mask, and shout that he is Ye Feng, it would attract many people to arrest him.

Even... some terrifying individuals have taken notice of him. For example, the sect leader of the Longyang Sect publicly stated that their sect needs talents like Ye Feng, and they will provide him with free protection. They hope that after seeing this message, Ye Feng can join their Longyang Sect and enjoy the pleasures of banana life together.

hiss!

Xiao Yu shivered inexplicably. Given Li Yunshang's previous experience of tearing off his mask, he deliberately layered three fake masks on his face this time, so it should be difficult for anyone to notice.

Once a normal person peels off the top layer, they would definitely think that what's underneath is Xiao Yu's true face. Even if you peel off another layer, there's still another layer.

This is already the limit; if we put on a few more masks, it will be easy for people to notice something is wrong.

"Actually... in reality, it should be said that the Thieves' Guild has taken a liking to you, brother."

The sound of mouths rang in his ears, pulling Xiao Yu out of his reverie.

"The thief's door?"

"That's right, brother. I see you have extraordinary potential; you'd be perfect for our thieves' gang. Want to join? Lots of benefits await!"

"No, thank you." Xiao Yu refused without even thinking. "I'm not interested. Besides, I already have a sect."

The Taoist sect is more like it, but the thief sect? Forget about it.

"Hey! Don't think about refusing yet!" He clicked his tongue. "You're very suitable for our Thieves' Sect. Anyway, judging from the current situation, you can't go back to the Xuanling Sect."

"No, I don't have any talent for stealing."

Xiao Yu waved his hand, saying that he could accept being called a pervert, but to say that he was suited to be a thief... a petty thief, was just throwing mud at him.

"Don't be misled by outside information. Who said that the Thieves' Guild has to steal things? We focus on the process. Whether we can steal or not doesn't matter. Here, take this."

Mouth reached out and threw something over.

Xiao Yu took it and saw that it was a gold-embossed token with the word "theft" printed on it.

"Take this first. The Thieves' Sect doesn't have a fixed location, and there aren't many restrictions on its disciples. Quite a few people from other sects have joined our Thieves' Sect. Keep this safe; it might be of unexpected help."

Why would they want me to join the thieves' guild?

"Tsk! Well, there are performance rewards for introducing new disciples, and I get spirit stones as a bonus. I'm a bit short on cash lately."

He touched the stubble that had grown on his chin, thought for a moment, and replied with a serious expression.

Xiao Yu: "..."

Is it really that easy to justify pulling someone in?

"Of course, not just anyone can do it; there are qualifications required. You have the qualifications, anyway..."

As he spoke, he devoured all the side dishes on the table, then wiped his mouth and stood up.

"Believe me, you have great talent. If you don't join now, our brains will have to come looking for you again later."

She's the leader of our Thieves' Guild, and she's no pushover. She'll probably be quite interested in you. I won't say more; I have to go now, I need to leave early, otherwise I'll miss the Phoenix Hill Secret Realm opening in a month.

"Think carefully, the Thieves' Gate is a place that ordinary people can't even get into!"

He walked away lightly, then climbed out of the restaurant window, startling the passersby who were chatting nearby.

Don't you thieves use the main entrance?

He muttered a silent complaint to himself, then rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.

"System, is there any chance that Ye Feng can come back to life?" he asked the system inside his body.

The purpose of coming to the Demon Island was simply to find out the cause of the protagonist's death. Now that the cause of death has been found, the question is whether he can be resurrected.

"There is a slight possibility that a trace of the soul essence remained on the magic weapon that killed Li Yunshang. It was only a tiny bit, equivalent to a dandruff flake that fell from your head. There was no point in resurrecting him. It would require an extremely special spiritual object. Even if you were resurrected, he would not be himself anymore. It would be like creating a new person."

That... seems quite unlikely.

Let alone the fact that the spirit that can revive is definitely very valuable, something Xiao Yu couldn't afford.

The mere fact that he needed Li Yunshang's magical artifact was giving Xiao Yu a headache.

He barely escaped, is he really going to walk right back into the trap and get caught again?

Chapter Thirty-Six, The Death Star in the Sky is Flashing Frenziedly

To revive Ye Feng, given his current condition, not only his physical body would need to be restored, but his soul would also need to recover along with his body.

Where in the world could such a miraculous creature come from?

Ugh!

Headache.

Xiao Yu wanted to revive the protagonist Ye Feng, not just to take the blame for the absurd things he had done at the Xuanling Sect.

More importantly, he wanted to retire peacefully on the island of demons.

As the saying goes, if you want a peaceful life, you need someone to bear the burden for you.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly peaceful state of the cultivation world right now; beneath the calm surface, undercurrents are surging.

There are many destabilizing factors, but who will handle them?

Naturally, the protagonist is the main character. There are many parts of the story that require the protagonist's presence, and without the protagonist, the situation would become chaotic.

Just like a vehicle traveling smoothly encountering a rushing river, it only needs to drive across the bridge to avoid the tragedy of plunging into the river.

The main character is the bridge that vehicles need to cross the river. Now that the bridge is gone, vehicles that can only move forward and cannot turn can only plunge into the river, and everyone on the vehicle will perish, including the people in the cultivation world.

That's why Dao found Xiao Yu to take the lead role and temporarily act as a bridge for a while.

If the protagonist disappears, and without his crucial support, the cultivation world might descend into chaos.

It might even affect Jumo Island, which is what Xiao Yu values.

Therefore, it is necessary to revive the protagonist Ye Feng.

Although this was something that Dao should have considered, Xiao Yu thought about her professional abilities...

Let's just forget about it. She's probably been spoiled by her so-called "heavenly beauty," which is why she causes all sorts of problems as soon as Tianyi falls asleep.

However, now that Ye Feng is in the news so much, he probably noticed that something is amiss.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuguo felt a gaze on him from behind. He thought for a moment, then turned his head sharply and met a pair of timid eyes that looked like those of a young deer.

Their gazes met, and unexpectedly, her bright eyes trembled for a moment before she quickly looked away.

She was a... very petite woman, or rather, a young girl.

Her seat was a few tables away from Xiao Yu, neither too close nor too far, just the right distance that made her inconspicuous.
