Light Rain Appears in the Plot

Before setting out, Su Luo didn't forget to jot down his diary.

【I've been lying low for half a month; it's time to go find Lin Xuan.】

【The newcomer competition is in half a month, and once again, I'll have to cause trouble for Lin Xuan.】

【The reason is that I can't stand the gossip within the sect. Every time someone sees me, they talk behind my back, looking down on me in every way.】

【I blame all of this on Lin Xuan.】

【After enduring for so long, I finally couldn't take it anymore. This time, I wanted to ambush Lin Xuan to vent my anger.】

【The result was obvious—I didn't succeed. Once again, I was knocked down by Lin Xuan, and coincidentally, Li Siyi happened to witness this scene.】

【I immediately turned the tables, accusing Lin Xuan of attacking me for no reason.】

【Anyone with half a brain could tell I was lying. Li Siyi snorted coldly and unleashed a barrage of words at me. I instantly broke down, crying and making a scene—utterly pathetic.】

【I brought this humiliation upon myself, which is why I say playing the villain is pointless. Let's just get through this quickly.】

【After suffering such disgrace, how could I just sit back and do nothing?】

【So, I turned around and begged Elder Yan Xi for help. Elder Yan Xi was quite generous, giving me two treasures.】

【With these two items, I gained a boost in strength, enough to put some pressure on Lin Xuan. But alas, in the end, Lin Xuan still came out on top.】

【In the newcomer competition, Lin Xuan made a name for himself, though he was already famous thanks to his powerful master.】

【That's pretty much how today went—just a small side story, not much screen time. Honestly, there hasn't been much stupid drama lately.】

【Because Lin Xuan has been busy improving his cultivation every day, and within the sect, there aren't any random enemies for him to humiliate.】

【After all, this is a righteous sect. Disciples don't go around causing trouble all the time, especially not with Lin Xuan—except for me, of course.】

【So, things have been quite peaceful recently.】

Since there wasn't much plot, the diary rewards were minimal, just a few attributes here and there.

Su Luo was gradually getting used to it. When there's no major plot, the rewards are just peanuts.

Closing his diary, Su Luo headed out to find Lin Xuan.

Seeing the diary update, Nangong Xiyun perked up. Finally, there was another useful entry. She wanted to see if things would unfold as written.

Nangong Xiyun quickly followed Su Luo to see for herself.

Su Luo soon found Lin Xuan, who was deeply engrossed in his cultivation.

Perfect timing. Su Luo immediately struck, launching a sneak attack.

"Lin Xuan, this is all your fault."

Lin Xuan easily dodged, then turned and kicked Su Luo away.

"It's you again. I wasn't looking for you, yet you come to me?"

"It's all your fault for exposing my cheating. Now, every time I pass by, people curse at me. I can't take it anymore."

"You were the one who messed up in the first place, and you haven't reflected on it at all."

Seeing Su Luo approach, Lin Xuan wanted to see if Su Luo had made any progress these past few days and also to gauge his own improvement.

However, Su Luo didn't give him the chance, collapsing at the slightest touch like a frail old man.

"Damn it, damn it!" Su Luo shouted in frustration, lying on the ground.

Lin Xuan was speechless. "Can't you at least put up a fight? If not, stop bothering me. I don't have time for this."

"Lin Xuan, I will make you pay."

He said his piece, and Su Luo said his.

At that moment, Li Siyi arrived.

Su Luo immediately changed his expression, looking utterly wronged.

"Siyi, help me. That bastard Lin Xuan attacked me for no reason."

Su Luo directly threw the blame onto Lin Xuan.

Li Siyi gave Su Luo a cold glance. "Su Luo, you've gone too far. I saw everything. You were the one provoking Lin Xuan, and now you're framing him? You're the real bastard here."

"No, I didn't. Siyi, don't you believe me?"

"Not one bit."

Lin Xuan, standing nearby, was a bit surprised. What's going on? Since when did Li Siyi scold Su Luo?

He had some doubts before, but now he couldn't help but wonder what Su Luo was up to. He provokes me but doesn't fight seriously. Su Luo and Li Siyi used to be on good terms, so why do they seem like enemies now?

Their relationship is so hard to understand. One moment they're close childhood friends, and the next, they're enemies. What's the deal?

Are they putting on a show for me? But what's the point?

Lin Xuan was thoroughly confused.

"Get out of here. I don't want to see you. I'm utterly disappointed in you."

Su Luo was struck as if by lightning, completely devastated. He moved his lips but couldn't utter a word.

"Fine, I'll leave."

"Why are you treating Su Luo like this?" Little Yu stepped in front of Su Luo, having witnessed the entire scene.

She had initially felt she had no right to intervene. In her eyes, Su Luo had feelings for Li Siyi.

She hadn't been sure before, but now that Li Siyi seemed to reciprocate those feelings, Little Yu felt even more out of place.

But seeing Su Luo so heartbroken because of Li Siyi, Little Yu couldn't hold back.

Even if she had no right, she couldn't just stand by and let them bully Su Luo.

"You're going too far!"

Li Siyi was stunned. Was this part of the plot? She had deliberately acted to avoid disrupting Su Luo's storyline, but she hadn't expected Little Yu to step in and defend Su Luo.

Wait, defend? Is Little Yu and Su Luo's relationship really just that of fellow villagers?

Something feels off. When did you two get so close?

For a moment, Li Siyi's mind was in turmoil. She desperately wanted to ask Su Luo and Little Yu what their relationship was and how they interacted in private.

Su Luo was equally baffled.

Huh? Why is Little Yu here? She shouldn't be in this scene.

Don't mess things up. Let's just end it here.

Su Luo grabbed Little Yu and tried to leave.

But Li Siyi suddenly spoke up. "Before you defend Su Luo, take a look at what he did. He ambushed Lin Xuan for no reason, and when he couldn't win, he tried to frame him. Do you think his actions were justified?"

Little Yu turned to Su Luo. "Is that true?"

Su Luo nodded.

Li Siyi felt a surge of satisfaction. See, Little Yu? You can't handle Su Luo. Stay away from him.

"Even so, he has his own reasons. You can't treat him like this," Little Yu replied.

Whoa, who are you?

Su Luo was confused. Since when did you become my die-hard fan? How can you say something like that?

"Little Yu, be reasonable," Li Siyi said, growing anxious. How can you trust Su Luo so blindly? What kind of spell has he cast on you? He's never treated me like this.

"I won't."

Little Yu pulled out a token, ready to summon the sect leader. She knew she couldn't fight Lin Xuan or Li Siyi, nor could she out-argue them, so this was her only option.

Seeing this, Su Luo quickly grabbed her hand. Don't make a scene. It's not worth bothering the sect leader over something like this.

"Let's go, let's go."

Su Luo dragged Little Yu away.

......

They soon returned to their quarters. Su Luo spoke seriously to Little Yu.

"Little Yu, from now on, don't get involved in my affairs. It's not good for either of us."

"Why? They're bullying you like this."

Do you even understand what's going on? Didn't you hear what Li Siyi said? It's my fault.

You're making me question your sense of logic.

Su Luo was getting a headache.

"Little Yu, I think you need to learn to distinguish right from wrong. Wait here, and I'll explain everything to you when I get back. It won't take long."

After settling Little Yu, Su Luo hurried off to find Elder Yan Xi. He suddenly remembered that the plot wasn't over yet—he still needed to visit Elder Yan Xi.

The plot might be a mess, but it needs to be coherent. Although Little Yu was an unexpected twist, he couldn't let her disrupt things.
