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

Yun Zhaoting recalled the scene he saw when he entered the store, and Ye Fuguang tightly protected Wen Yubai in his arms.

Yun Zhaoting spoke, his voice gentle yet tinged with a hint of probing.

"Manager Wen, if I give you the antidote now, will you turn around and go find that demon?"

Wen Yubai was taken aback upon hearing this, then replied, "No."

This answer eased Yun Zhaoting's expression slightly.

He uncorked the bottle and poured the pills into Wen Yubai's hand.

"This is a calming powder that can neutralize toxins. Once you recover, I hope you will truthfully tell me your connection with the leader of the Demonic Sect."

Wen Yubai lowered his eyes, took the pill, and put it in his mouth.

Yun Zhaoting withdrew his hand without making a sound.

The medicine worked quickly, and Wen Yubai leaned against the table for a moment to recover.

When I looked up again, I no longer felt weak in my limbs.

"What would you like to ask, Young Master Yun?"

"Why would this demon disguise himself as a woman and hide in your inn?"

"Three months ago, he had no money to pay the bill and was harassed by thugs. He claimed to be all alone and had nowhere to go, so I took him in out of pity."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhaoting would never have believed this explanation if he hadn't personally witnessed Ye Fuguang dressed as a woman.

Wen Yubai looked directly at Yun Zhaoting, his gaze calm and composed.

"As for why he disguised himself as a woman and hid here, I really don't know."

"Manager Wen, this place has become a hotbed of trouble. Ye Fuguang will not let this go easily. Come with me back to the Yun family for now, and we'll make further plans after this matter is settled, okay?"

Wen Yubai refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Yun, but I only wish to run this inn and live a peaceful life."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Yun Zhaoting sighed and did not force him.

"I'll stay tonight. Manager, please consider it carefully. I hope Manager Wen will give me an answer tomorrow."

That night, Yun Zhaoting summoned the hidden sentries of the nearby Yun family, who quickly cleaned up the corpses and bloodstains.

He also has a sense of life.

He rolled up his sleeves and silently wiped the tables and chairs, putting the overturned items back in their places.

Wen Yubai was about to help when Yun Zhaoting stopped him, citing the lingering poison.

"Manager Wen, please rest well. I'll take care of these small matters."

Wen Yubai had no choice but to return to his room and lock the door.

His mission was already completed, and he remained in this world only because he was worried about Fu Xi and Lin Qing.

Now, Lin Qing is gone, and Fu Xi is a fake.

There's nothing to worry about here anymore.

It's time to leave.

He mentally contacted the system; the mission was complete, and he could now open the escape route.

"188, submit your mission and request to leave the world."

no respond.

He tried again.

Suddenly, a sharp, jarring noise exploded in my mind, followed by the intermittent, anxious electronic voice of 188.

[WARNING! Unauthorized intruder detected... Malfunction... Channel blocked...]

[...Core mission...kill the protagonist...protect...]

Find him...kill him...

The sound stopped abruptly.

Unauthorized intruder?

Wen Yubai had a headache; he thought this time it really would be a simple task.

I never expected to be trapped here.

Collapse, kill?

Does this mean that illegal intruders will disrupt the plot and kill the protagonist?

-

The next morning, Yun Zhaoting still wanted to persuade Wen Yubai to go with him.

I thought I would have to say something more, but I saw that Wen Yubai had already packed a simple bag.

He stood in the morning light, his simple clothes unable to conceal his refined and elegant demeanor.

"Young Master Yun, thank you for your trouble."

Wen Yubai spoke first, his voice calm.

This change surprised Yun Zhaoting somewhat. He nodded slightly: "Of course, let's go."

The two arrived in Qingshui Town to buy horses and happened to run into Brother Zhang, who was unloading goods.

Upon hearing that Wen Yubai was about to embark on a long journey, this honest and kind man's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Don't worry, innkeeper. We brothers will take good care of the inn and won't let anyone else ruin it."

Wen Yubai felt a warmth in his heart. He didn't care about the inn, but he still took out his money pouch to save for repairs.

Brother Zhang waved his hand repeatedly, but Wen Yubai insisted on accepting it, and urged him to return soon.

Yun Zhaoting stood quietly to the side, without urging him.

After bidding farewell to everyone, the two led their horses out of Qingshui Town.

Yun Zhaoting nimbly mounted his horse and looked down at Wen Yubai.

"It will take ten days to reach Yun Family Manor. Does Manager Wen know how to ride a horse?"

Wen Yubai looked at the tall horse, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I know a little about it."

That being said, when he spurred his horse to catch up with Yun Zhaoting, his somewhat clumsy riding skills still revealed his lack of proficiency.

Yun Zhaoting subtly slowed down, keeping pace with him the whole time.

As the morning breeze rustled through the willows, Yun Zhaoting's gaze lingered for a moment on Wen Yubai's hands, which were red from being rubbed raw by the reins.

"If you get tired, there's a teahouse up ahead where you can rest."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yubai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Yun."

The tea stall was simple, selling only coarse tea and dry food.

Yun Zhaoting ordered two bowls, and then took out the dry food he had brought with him, naturally pushing the softer part in front of Wen Yubai.

"When you're traveling, things are a bit slower."

"Young Master Yun, you're too kind."

Shopkeeper Wen thanked him, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He wasn't an ungrateful person; Yun Zhaoting had kept his speed extremely slow and stopped frequently along the way, all to accommodate him.

"We've been traveling together for quite some time now, so this form of address is too formal. Manager Wen, you can just call me Zhaoting."

Wen Yubai rarely joked, "Then Zhaoting, shouldn't you change how you address me too?"

Yun Zhaoting called softly, "Yu Bai."

A few sips of hot tea eased my fatigue.

At the next table, a group of men who looked like traveling merchants started talking more after drinking some wine.

His gaze lingered on Wen Yubai and Yun Zhaoting.

"This person is really handsome..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Zhaoting paused slightly, raised his eyes, and calmly swept them over.

Even the gentle smile on her face remained unchanged.

His gaze was neither sharp nor menacing, but rather carried a condescending indifference.

However, that one glance silenced the few outspoken men, who lowered their heads sheepishly.

Wen Yubai did not notice this brief exchange.

It's normal for Yun Zhaoting to attract attention because of his good looks and outstanding temperament.

Little did he know how many times Yun Zhaoting had secretly glanced at him.

Yun Zhaoting withdrew his gaze once more and placed a large piece of dried meat on Wen Yubai's dry rations.

"Eat more, the journey is still long."

His tone was gentle, as if it were just a routine act of kindness.

Wen Yubai nodded, once again marveling that this male lead was the gentlest person he had ever met.

They are like a gentle breeze, and it's very comfortable to be around them.

Continuing on their journey, Yun Zhaoting still walked side by side with Wen Yubai.

Along the way, they encountered a group of bodyguards. The leader was an old acquaintance of Yun Zhaoting and warmly invited him to travel with them.

"Young Master Yun, what a coincidence! Why don't we travel together? That way we can look out for each other."

Yun Zhaoting returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "I appreciate Chief Escort Li's kindness, but I have personal matters to attend to on this trip and need to take care of a friend, so I am afraid it will be inconvenient for me to accompany you. I hope you will understand."

He was polite in his words, but his refusal left no room for negotiation.

The head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) Li was sensible; after exchanging a few pleasantries, he led his team away first.
