I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character Chapter 71: Firm Attitude

Before going to the Contribution Hall to pick up a task, Ye Yong must first visit the Sword Pavilion Hall. It wasn’t necessary for him to go out and test his strength, but it was crucial for him to constantly always pay attention to any interaction or collision between the Ye Family and the male lead.

Ye Yong had already replayed in his mind multiple tis the friction between the Ye Family and the male lead in the novel, from major events to minor incidents, and had roughly morized the tiline in his heart.

In the early stages of the novel, the Ye Family was the main enemy, but by the middle stages, they have been completely marginalized because they have already been wiped out.

Therefore, Ye Yong set a small goal for himself: no matter what, he must survive until the middle stages of the novel. As long as they didn’t play a significant role, the Ye Family should be able to marginalize successfully and avoid the fate of being wiped out.

Ye Yong is particularly afraid that the so-called world’s consciousness would cause trouble out of nothing and forcibly pit the Ye Family against the male lead.

In any case, Ye Yong was always on high alert against the male lead and didn’t dare to relax at all, because that was when crises occurred.

…

As he reached the mountain gate, Ye Yong saw Lu Xiao Xiao reading in the guard hut. Although she was reading earnestly, she was still a Crystallization Realm cultivator and imdiately sensed soone approaching. When she saw that it was Ye Yong, her expression beca sowhat nervous. “Junior Brother Ye, are you going out again?”

“Well, I want to visit the Sword Pavilion Hall first and then pick up a mission at the Contribution Hall and gain so experience outside,” Ye Yong replied truthfully, knowing that with his current fa, his whereabouts would soon be known no matter where he went.

“Junior Brother Ye, please think twice!” Lu Xiao Xiao, who already had a bad feeling, suddenly beca anxious. “You don’t know, those won outside are going crazy. If it weren’t for Senior Sister Bai and other Golden Core Realm senior cultivators guarding here yesterday, our mountain gate would have been knocked down from overcrowding!”

“Uh…” Ye Yong was speechless. Was it really that crazy? He had spent ti with Wu Xue all day yesterday and even t several senior sisters in the kitchen, so he had no idea what had happened at the mountain gate. Besides, he felt that most other cultivators would see him as a support character.

After all, he had never displayed any combat skills to the outside world and only showed proficiency in music and art. Besides, music and art didn’t really have any combat capabilities at the start- they would have to be at least at the Golden Core Realm to be able to fight and fend off enemies.

If they were after the Spirit Gathering Song he had played, then there really wasn’t a need, as they could just take a few more pills. It wasn’t like absorbing more spiritual energy would necessarily lead to faster progress. Even in the sa realm, people absorb spiritual energy at different rates due to different physiques, so there wasn’t really a general situation.

At this mont, Yi Bai and the others had also rushed over, urging Ye Yong not to go out. They were willing to buy whatever he wanted and give him contribution points.

“Thank you all for your kindness,” Ye Yong said. He would not beco soone who just lived through life waiting for death. He took two steps forward, leaving behind a handso yet lonely figure. Gazing into the distance, his voice was firm and resolute. “If an eagle is bound and unable to spread its wings to embrace the sky, how is it different from a dostic chicken? If saplings do not experience wind and rain, how can they grow into towering trees? I am deeply grateful for the care of my senior sisters, but there are so paths that only I can walk; senior sisters cannot walk them for .”

Ye Yong’s figure was small under the vast blue sky and white clouds, but in the eyes of the senior sisters, he appeared incredibly big.

Yi Bai and the others originally wanted to persuade him again, but at this mont, they no longer had the thought. “Since that’s the case, Junior Brother Ye, go ahead. Please take care and be safe. Oh, take these, just in case.”

As if they were clearing out their hos, the senior sisters stuffed their own defensive treasures into Ye Yong’s hands.

Ye Yong felt ashad. He was a cultivator, like many others, but sohow, even though they all went out on missions for experience, it was as if he was going out onto a battlefield.

Besides, he rembered the dangerous areas and the scope of factional activities from the novel and would definitely avoid them and not cause trouble.

After so back and forth, Ye Yong accepted a few items, and only then did the senior sisters let him leave.

After Ye Yong left, Yi Bai said, “Go back and cultivate.”

“Yeah.”

“Okay.”

No one moved.

“Go back and cultivate,’ Yi Bai repeated.

“Yeah.”

“Okay.”

Still, no one showed any intention of going back.

They couldn’t really rest assured and let Ye Yong go out alone and were planning to secretly follow him. Even though Ye Yong might not encounter substantial danger during the mission, who knew if female cultivators from other halls would follow him and plot against Ye Yong?

“Isn’t it bad for there to be too many people?” Yi Bai frowned slightly.

“How about drawing lots?” Lu Xiao Xiao was the only Crystallization Realm cultivator present, so she had no chance if they based it on strength.

“Sure,” many senior sisters agreed.

“Draw what lots? Yi Bai glanced at the people present. “Too many people make it easy to expose ourselves. I’m enough on my own. Anyone who disagrees can challenge to a fight.”

As expected!

The other senior sisters had already anticipated this. Yi Bai had broken through to the 9th layer of the Golden Core Realm a few days ago, while the highest among them was only at the 7th layer. With such a disparity in cultivation, even if they ganged up on Yi Bai, they probably wouldn’t win because of Yi Bai’s extraordinary art skills.

“Since junior sisters trust so much, I won’t disappoint your expectations. I will definitely protect Junior Brother Ye,” Yi Bai walked away delightfully.

Lu Xiao Xiao and the others could only watch with envy.

Being weak is a primordial sin.

…

Ye Yong didn’t know what happened after he left. He only knew that he had beco famous and would attract attention wherever he went.

Arriving at the Sword Pavilion Hall, the Sword Pavilion Mountain was majestic and grand, much larger than Echo Peak, and the nearby Treasure Sword Mountain that the disciples lived in was also ridiculously huge. One hall occupying two peaks ant that the Sword Pavilion Hall carried significant weight within the Heavenly Luo Sect.

There was a constant flow of people at the Sword Pavilion Mountain, and entry and exit didn’t require identity verification; anyone could co and go. However, there were still senior brothers and sisters from the Enforcent Hall patrolling. Whenever there was a dispute or a fight among the disciples, they would imdiately intervene and impose punishnts.

Ye Yong’s appearance drew the attention of many disciples from the Sword Pavilion Hall. The senior brothers and sisters from the Enforcent Hall silently got closer to Ye Yong, ready to intervene.

Fortunately, there was no chaos. Ye Yong used a transmission stone to notify Ye Mao, who was attending a lecture, but he still ca over imdiately.

“How is it at Echo Mountain?” Ye Mao felt uncomfortable as soon as he saw Ye Yong. He did admire Ye Yong’s talent and potential, but in the novel, apart from ‘Ye Yong’, he was the second Ye Family to court death. He was extrely arrogant, considering himself the chosen one and refusing to bow down to Ye Yong like others of the young generation of the Ye Family. Besides, I’m Ye Yong’s elder cousin- what the hell is an older cousin bowing to a younger cousin? And besides, Ye Yong chose music and art, which are relatively weak in combat. Once I learn divine techniques and beco an unparalleled sword immortal in the future, it will be my era. Ye Yong would only have himself to bla for being foolish for not coming to the Sword Pavilion Hall and instead going to the Music and Art Hall for the sake of won.

When Ye Mao first learned that Ye Yong had a 7-colored foundation, he couldn’t compare at all and couldn’t raise his head. But now that Ye Yong had chosen the Music and Art Hall, he saw hope to shine again.

“Not bad.” Ye Yong sensed that Ye Mao’s attitude had beco firr than it had been right after the assessnt. Do you think that just because I chose music and art, I’ve beco incompetent in the sword?
