After the protagonist retired, the heroine quit

What's more, if the black-robed girl knew that he had abandoned them to form a team with another sect, she would probably avoid him when they meet in the future, and the little glutinous rice dumpling would not let him go.

He had put in so much effort for the Yueying Sect, but he was almost exploited by Long Wanyan.

Abandoning the black-robed girls and choosing to steal the door is not cost-effective no matter how you look at it, the difference in rewards between the two is there!

Looking at the rewards in the mission, Xiao Yu had some idea about the last "person" missing in the team. Now he had nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu no longer thought about it and directly said to the woman opposite:

"No, I have already found a way to join the secret realm, so you don't need to worry about it. In comparison, it would be better to give me a few more boxes of Golden Silk Rain Dew Cakes."

"Hmm? Weird, you actually have a way to participate in the secret realm?"

The woman seemed a little surprised at Xiao Yu's answer.

"Yeah." Xiao Yu nodded. There was no need for further explanation. He believed that the other party would be able to find out the truth quickly with their methods.

Sure enough, after seeing Xiao Yu nod, the smile on the woman's face disappeared. She closed her eyes and frowned slightly, looking as if she was asking something.

After a few breaths, she opened her eyes, her plum blossom-like pupils hidden between her eyelids. Compared with the past, she squinted much less strongly this time.

"Wonderful! Really wonderful. I see. You actually managed to create a sect within one day. I was right about you."

The fox-like smile on the woman's face disappeared, replaced by an amazed and playful expression.

"Well, it seems that I have done too much. Sigh! What a trouble. If I had known, I would not have sent the mouth away. Now the team is still short of one person. Oh, by the way, this is some information about the Fengqiu Secret Realm. It won't be a wasted trip for you."

At the same time, she handed over a stack of information. Xiao Yu took it and took a look. It was indeed very different from what he had heard from the outside world.

This Fengqiu Secret Realm is not the remains of a phoenix as rumored by the outside world, but the place where a mutated phoenix fell.

At the same time, this secret realm is very likely to have given birth to an earth spirit.

The amount of information is huge!

Xiao Yu, who was familiar with the plot, was not surprised. He had known this scene for a long time.

What surprised him was that there was an ancient paulownia tree that reached the sky in the secret realm.

This is not mentioned in the novel.

Now that the protagonist has died, a butterfly effect has occurred. It is normal for the plot that Xiao Yu is familiar with to deviate from it.

This secret realm might be much more complicated than he imagined.

"Speaking of which, regarding that white paper, you quickly figured out how to check it. Not bad! It really suits our Daomen very well. Let me use the same excuse again. I want to invite you to join the Daomen. How about... do you want to join?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu tensed up, guessing that this was the main reason why the woman invited him upstairs to talk.

Just join the thieves...

"After you join, if you want, even the leader of the Thieves' Sect can be your pawn."

The woman looked at Xiao Yu with the corners of her mouth slightly raised and she smiled faintly. Her eyes narrowed into slits and she looked at Xiao Yu with other thoughts in her mind.

It is often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but Xiao Yu could not see through the window to see what this woman was thinking.

It can be seen that the content of the white paper is very simple. Remember the token that Mouth gave him in the restaurant? Take it out and scratch it on the white paper, and the content will emerge.

Xiao Yu looked at the woman and asked directly the question in his heart without beating around the bush:

"I don't understand why you and Mouth both want to drag me into the Thief's Gate. Mouth's reason is sufficient, it's for the few spirit stones that can be used to lure people in.

As the leader of the Daomen Sect, what is your purpose? You want to recruit me even if I don't want a position. What's your purpose?

Could it be that I have some extraordinary talent for stealing, but I just haven't discovered it yet?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yu looked at himself and did not find a third hand growing out of his body.

"Tsk! You misunderstood. Didn't that guy with a mouth tell you? We are not a thief sect in the true sense of the word. We specialize in petty thefts. Of course, if we encounter an emergency, we can steal some spirit stones and cultivate for some reason. It's okay to deal with the emergency. The key lies in the process of stealing and the perception of it.

Just like now, in order to sneak into the Fengqiu Secret Realm, I stole the appearance and identity of a sect leader, pretended to be someone else, and lived with that person's identity for a period of time without anyone noticing. This is considered a successful experience.

The degree of difficulty and effect depends on the influence of the person being stolen on the outside world. We can also understand our own 'stealing' from it..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu finally realized something. His hair stood on end and a chill ran down from the top of his head to his toes.

What the woman called stealing, to some extent, isn't it exactly the same as what he did by taking the blame?

Is it possible...

"So, just like in a script, there are passers-by, supporting roles, and protagonists. If you steal the identity of a passer-by, it's simple, but it doesn't have much value. It won't improve much in our thieves' sect.

But...if someone steals the protagonist who is the center of the play and everything revolves around him, what do you think will happen? ! "

The woman's narrowed eyes finally opened completely, and a pair of eyes as deep and complex as plum blossoms were exposed in front of Xiao Yu.

His narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, as if looking through the false mask on Xiao Yu's face and looking directly at the hidden true face.

Chapter 90: The Old General on the Stage

main character!

Xiao Yu's pupils constricted, his heart was in turmoil, but his years of taking the blame allowed him to maintain a calm expression.

The teacup was put back on the table, and ripples appeared on the calm surface of the tea.

What he worried about finally happened.

Just like fish still smell after being brought ashore.

It turns out that it is not so easy to clear yourself of blame after taking the blame for the protagonist, especially when something goes wrong with the protagonist, and sharks will smell the scent and come knocking on your door.

"You mean the protagonist...what does that mean?"

He asked doubtfully, as if he knew nothing.

In fact, he had already made preparations before coming.

Was she sent by Tao?

Taoism...the sect of thieves...the sect of Taoism.

It is possible.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just giving you an example, it's just what you think, relax, I have no ill will towards you, you are as important to us as the protagonist.

I'm just curious. It's like the script has already been decided. It doesn't really matter who the protagonist is. What matters is that the final result of the script is the same. It's just that simple what some people pursue.

Moreover, inviting you to join the Daomen will greatly benefit the 'Tao' that I am pursuing."

The woman opened her eyes and then narrowed them again, returning to her harmless look. However, the gleam that occasionally flashed between her eyes made Xiao Yu understand that what she said had other implications.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu suppressed his shock and shook his head. He reached out his hand and took something out of his arms:

"You think too highly of me. I'm not a protagonist, but just an ordinary passerby. I don't deserve your high expectations.

So I'm sorry, after thinking about it... burglars and the like are not suitable for me, please forgive me for rejecting it. Yes! This is something given to me by Mouth. He left in a hurry at the time and didn't give me a chance to interrupt. He left after saying it, and now it has been returned to its original owner. "

As he spoke, Xiao Yu took out the gold-plated token with the word "thief" printed on it from his arms, then placed it on the table in front of him and pushed it towards the woman opposite.

Looks determined.

"Oh... OK! It seems that we are not destined to be together. I will not invite you anymore. Remember, if you want to join the Thief Sect, I will welcome you at any time."

The woman chuckled, but did not force it. She stretched out her slender fingers, picked up the token that Xiao Yu handed over, and put it solemnly in her arms.

The smile on his face remained unchanged:

"However, Xiao Yu, don't underestimate yourself. A passerby? Really? Alas! You have taken the protagonist's seat, but you still want to steal the role of a passerby. You are really greedy. How abominable!"

Her gaze fell on Xiao Yu, and she looked him up and down again as if they were meeting for the first time, and even opened one of her squinted eyes.

Xiao Yu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. What did she mean? Apart from the protagonist who took the blame, he was indeed just a passerby, a character that was not even described in the novel.

Taking the leading role, did she do something wrong?!

Also, how is his name known.

A big part of the reason he came upstairs was because this woman wrote his name on the letter.

"Xiao Yu...how do you know my real name?"

Xiao Yu sat up straight so that he could look calmer.

"Oh! I've said that we are good at stealing. But stealing is not as simple as just getting the goods. After stealing successfully, we need to pretend to be someone else and deceive the people around the target.

So, in addition to stealing, we are better at collecting information. It's just a name, so it's still easy. To be conceited, I know a little about most of the secrets in the world, including those things that the sect leaders don't want to see in public."

The woman waved her hand gently, as if to swat away a mosquito buzzing around her ear.

Compared to Xiao Yu who was sitting upright, she looked relaxed.

"Then do you know the Tao?"

Looking at the confident look of the woman in front of him, Xiao Yu directly brought up a heavyweight topic, as a test or perhaps a verification.

"..."

The woman paused for a moment, and then narrowed her eyes again, as if she was disdainful of what Xiao Yu said: "You know, she is one of the maintainers of fate! But she is not as powerful as you think, and the more terrifying ones have not come out yet."

Sure enough, the thieves and the Taoists are not of the same kind.

Come to think of it, the style of the thieves is extremely inconsistent with their role as agents of Heaven.

"then you……"

"Hush! Okay, we've talked enough. If we continue, it will attract the attention of the higher-ups. I'm not like you who have magical talismans to protect me. If I'm discovered, I'll be in a lot of trouble."

The woman put her index finger in front of her lips to stop Xiao Yu from asking any more questions. It seemed that although her attitude was disdainful, if she was targeted, she would probably be in trouble.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu shut his mouth obediently.

The magical talisman that the woman was referring to was probably the Breath-Suppressing Talisman that he exchanged from the system.

Sure enough, the products produced by the system must be high-quality.

No wonder……

At this moment, he had more or less sorted out his thoughts. In addition to why the woman asked him to go upstairs, there was another important current situation.

The protagonist is not important...what matters most is the consensus reached in the end.

If what the woman had revealed was true, his current situation was very bad.

Realizing something, a few drops of sweat flowed down Xiao Yu's forehead.

In a luxuriously decorated room, Xiao Yu and the other person sat facing each other. The candle on their table had burned out. The room darkened, and the two of them lowered their heads tacitly, looking at the burned-out candle.

"Xiao Yu... do you know? You are in danger now, just like an old general on the stage, with flags all over his body, but he is unaware of it. If you are not careful, there will be a cliff behind you. I am really curious about how it will develop next. It must be very exciting if it turns over. By the way, I will call you Little Actor from now on!"

Her eyes flickered, as if she saw something extraordinary through the candlelight that was about to go out.

No matter what, what remains unchanged is that the woman's tone is still full of teasing and watching the show.

It was like the audience sitting under the stage, always watching what Xiao Yu on the stage would do next.

What a little actor... He's not a big actor.

Although I always like to set various flags.

Call ~

A vague sound was heard, accompanied by flickering flames.

The fire flickered, and the room suddenly became bright and dark. The changing light made it difficult for Xiao Yu to see the woman's movements. He could only vaguely see a few slender and delicate fingers intertwined, and a brand new candle had been replaced.

It started to burn with a whoosh.

The rolling flames flashed over with a subtle breath.

Full of flags?

Inexplicably, Xiao Yu squinted his eyes like the woman, in order to hide the sudden panic in his heart.

at this time.
