The plot of "Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One Always Collapses" is incomplete.

True to his word, Ye Lanxuan unfastened the golden chain the following evening.

Even after the chains were removed, Wen Yubai still felt weak in his limbs and his spiritual energy was depleted.

It was clearly Ye Lanxuan's doing.

Are you so afraid of running away?

He was led by the hand by Ye Lanxuan, who walked calmly through the Demon Sect.

They didn't care at all that everyone knew about their relationship.

The subordinates didn't even dare to glance at him out of the corner of their eyes.

As night fell, Xuan led Wen Yubai to a valley. After passing through three layers of mist, the view suddenly opened up before them.

It was already dark when the sky darkened, and the mountains and fields were covered with fireflies.

The twinkling lights floated in mid-air, like crushed stars falling to earth.

A crescent-shaped lake is embedded in the center.

The lake is serene, reflecting the weeping willows on both banks and the gradually brightening stars.

Ye Lanxuan led Wen Yubai to sit down on the grass by the lake, supporting himself with his hands behind him, his strength tinged with tenderness.

"Look there."

Wen Yubai tilted her head slightly in response.

In an instant, a vast galaxy poured into my eyes, unobstructed and unhindered.

Such grandeur washed over me, quietly soothing the knots in my heart and relaxing my tense body.

He gazed at the starry sky, and Ye Lanxuan gazed at him.

Those indifferent eyes were now filled with starlight.

Clear, dazzling, and breathtakingly beautiful.

As night deepened, Xuan's Adam's apple bobbed.

"I discovered this place when I was a child."

He spoke very softly, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

"Because of my demon bloodline, I was disliked by everyone since I was a child. When I was ten years old, some disciples plotted to trap me in the Cave of Ten Thousand Evils."

"I crawled for three days and three nights to escape, and I stumbled here in a daze."

"When the old fogies from the Demonic Sect came looking for me, they beat me up without saying a word."

Ye Lanxuan broke off a willow twig and tapped it on the water, making a soft, tinkling sound.

His profile was reflected in the lake's light, and his golden pupils seemed veiled in a thin mist.

"But it's okay, I'm used to it."

He spoke calmly, but secretly observed Wen Yubai's reaction.

According to the usual tropes in storybooks, at this moment there should be a tender touch or a moving look.

But Wen Yubai simply gathered his clothes, which had been ruffled by the wind.

Ye Lanxuan had no choice but to continue.

"Later, when I was injured and feeling down, I would come here to stay."

"Look, isn't it beautiful?"

His eyes held a fragile expectation, like a child waiting to be praised.

"Hmm, is no one else coming?"

No, you're the first one.

Ye Lanxuan waited, hoping for even a perfunctory expression of sympathy or a sigh of pity.

Even a little silence would be fine.

But none of them were there.

"It seems there's a spiritual vein underground, which is why the firefly grass is growing so vigorously."

Wen Yubai was as calm as still water.

It's as if Ye Lanxuan wasn't talking about a heart-wrenching childhood, but just some insignificant weather.

A shadow crossed Ye Lanxuan's eyes.

Didn't they say that humans are the best at empathy?

Why did it have no effect on Wen Yubai at all?

If those "old fogies" of the Demonic Sect knew what Ye Lanxuan had said, they would probably vomit blood on the spot.

What does it mean to be disliked? It means he unilaterally isolates everyone.

Yes, those kids did throw him into the Cave of Ten Thousand Evils.

But that's because Ye Lanxuan, relying on his exceptional talent, has bullied the weak for many years.

Their ruthless methods made them unable to tolerate it any longer.

Moreover, Ye Lanxuan didn't mention at all why he was beaten up.

After he escaped, he killed or maimed those kids, and their families came to settle scores with the Demonic Sect.

Ye Lanxuan was not lost at all.

He deliberately ran away, leaving behind a mountain of debt so that those old fogies could clean up the mess.

As for why no one has ever set foot in this valley?

Ha, if you're so capable, then take down the triple fog barrier you've set up.

Of course, Wen Yubai was unaware of these things.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't be affected.

In this world where madmen, perverts, and psychopaths are the main characters.

He always felt that he was the most pitiful one.

On their way home, the moonlight cast long shadows of the two of them.

Ye Lanxuan didn't hold hands again, but walked half a step ahead sadly.

Back at the Demon Sect, as he turned out of the corridor, he bumped into Chu Mingyuan coming towards him.

He had just returned from a mission, his black clothes stained with blood, half his face hidden under his hood.

When he saw Wen Yubai, his eyes lit up in the shadows.

"Hey, isn't this Chu Mingyuan?"

Ye Lanxuan suddenly laughed.

She deliberately raised her hand to tidy Wen Yubai's hair, which had been ruffled by the wind, her voice laced with malice.

Chu Mingyuan stopped, his voice hoarse, "Senior brother."

He slowly raised his head, his hood slipped down, revealing a pale, handsome face.

Wen Yubai glanced at him briefly, but when he noticed his golden eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he said sarcastically, "Li Mingya, or should I call you Chu Mingyuan? Ha."

Chu Mingyuan's heart sank suddenly, and a bitter taste spread across his tongue.

Wen Yubai did not stop and walked straight ahead.

Seeing that the protagonist was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to stay any longer.

Ye Lanxuan is unpredictable; who knows if he might suddenly cause trouble?

Ye Lanxuan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

Fortunately, Wen Yubai also maintained a cold demeanor towards Chu Mingyuan.

But before he could catch his breath, a strange sense of irritation arose again.

Why should Chu Mingyuan receive the same treatment as me?

He snorted coldly, and as he passed Chu Mingyuan, he didn't even glance at him, but quickly followed Wen Yubai's figure.

Chu Mingyuan gazed at Wen Yubai's thin back, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.

Blame him.

If it weren't for my obsession with revenge back then, how could I have attracted Ye Lanxuan's attention to my senior brother?

Now look at my senior brother's appearance.

If I had known, he should have died at the bottom of the cliff on Luohun Mountain.

But how could he have known then that he would fall in love with the enemy who had taken his life?

Chu Mingyuan looked down at the bloodstains on his palm.

With his current strength, no matter how fast he improves, he still can't take Wen Yubai away.

Even meeting them is difficult.

But Xie Linchen is different.

He is the Celestial Venerable Qingheng, and has the ability to rival Ye Lanxuan.

The funny thing is.

Xie Linchen is still completely trapped by the clues deliberately left behind by Ye Lanxuan.

Chu Mingyuan made up his mind.

Xie Linchen is at least better than the Demon Lord; who knows what the Demon Lord might do?

On the surface, Xie Linchen appears to be aloof and should not offend his senior brother.

As for himself.

He is young and strong; he can wait.

From then on, Chu Mingyuan began to secretly look for opportunities to pass on messages, attempting to tear apart the information network laid out by Ye Lanxuan.

Ye Lanxuan's mind was occupied by Wen Yubai.

Every time he finished dealing with the affairs of the Demon Sect, he would excitedly go to find Wen Yubai.

I brought him some new gadgets, trying to cheer him up.

But all I ever get is that lukewarm attitude.

As Ye Lanxuan approached, Wen Yubai did not flinch, but the aloofness in his eyes was like a layer of ice that could not be melted.

He couldn't bear to use force, so he could only suppress his anger.

He returned to his study and leaned against his desk.

While staring blankly into the void, he listened to Yoru San's report for the day.

What did Wen Yubai eat today? What tea did he drink? What book did he read today?

Night shift report complete.

After a long while, Ye Lanxuan irritably loosened his collar and suddenly spoke.

"Yoru San, tell me, what's wrong with me?"

Ye San, who remained hidden in the shadows, did not speak, continuing to be a silent shadow as usual.

"Yeah, you don't understand love anyway, why would I ask you?"

Ye Lanxuan planned to ask someone who knew.

What exactly should he do to make Wen Yubai's eyes show a little more of his own emotion?
