The day passed quickly, and as night fell, it was time for everyone to rest.
Su Luo returned to his room, opened his diary, and began writing.
【Today’s experience-sharing session was supposed to be embarrassing for me, but I left early because there’s still a second half where I can make a fool of myself.】
【The more I act like a clown, the more it makes Lin Xuan look great.】
【And the events that have happened in Autumn Wind City during this time have caused the resentment I’ve accumulated toward Lin Xuan to completely explode.】
【After returning to the sect, I went to Elder Yan Xi to get some upgrades.】
【First, there’s the change in the city. In the past, I could have anything I wanted in Autumn Wind City. I was the one everyone looked up to, and people would call me “Brother Su Luo” whenever they saw me.】
【But now, everything has changed. Lin Xuan is the one everyone calls “Brother.” He’s taken all the glory that used to belong to me.】
【His cultivation is stronger than mine, his personality is better, and his achievements far surpass mine. Oh, and when it comes to Autumn Wind City, I have no achievements to speak of.】
【In fact, getting rid of me would probably count as an achievement for Autumn Wind City.】
【In any case, the change in my status in Autumn Wind City was evident from today’s sharing session. I can’t accept it at all. Resentment level: 80%.】
【Then, the beast army launched a surprise attack.】
【Their last plan, involving insect eggs, had failed. They should have stayed put and waited for another opportunity.】
【But one of their leaders couldn’t accept the defeat, so after much hesitation, they decided to go ahead with the plan to crush Autumn Wind City. They knew it wouldn’t be easy, but they were determined to fight.】
【Yes, it happened tonight. They really know how to pick the timing—right when Lin Xuan returned. It’s clear they’re just stepping stones for Lin Xuan’s rise.】
【As soon as the city lord received the news, he immediately called a meeting.】
【All the prominent figures in Autumn Wind City attended, and naturally, I was qualified to be there too, given my status as a disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Sect.】
【This time, the beast army came in overwhelming numbers—over ten thousand, at least. Even the city lord wasn’t confident about holding the city.】
【The strongest among the beast army was at the Golden Core level, which matched the city lord’s strength. The rest were at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment levels, so Autumn Wind City still had a fighting chance.】
【But whether we could win or not was uncertain.】
【Lin Xuan immediately notified the sect and requested reinforcements, but it would take time for them to arrive.】
【To protect the ordinary people in the city, we had no choice but to fight to the death and hold out until the Seven Stars Sword Sect’s reinforcements arrived.】
【Before the battle, the city lord gave a morale-boosting speech, filled with grand promises. He also said that if anyone wanted to back out, it was understandable, and no one would be forced to stay.】
【Of course, this was just a formality. Who would back out at a time like this?】
【That’s when I made my entrance. I would be the first to show cowardice.】
【I even said something like, “Only a fool would risk their life fighting the beast army. I just want to survive.”】
【Everyone’s faces turned dark when they heard that.】
【Lin Xuan immediately punched me and cursed me out, asking, “Is this not the place where you were born and raised? Don’t you want to protect it?”】
【After cursing me out, Lin Xuan declared that he would fight to the very end.】
【With my cowardice as a contrast, Lin Xuan instantly looked even more heroic. We’re both disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Sect, but the difference between us is like night and day.】
【Lin Xuan’s unwavering determination in the face of the beast army inspired everyone present.】
【The way they looked at Lin Xuan was filled with admiration, while I, lying beaten on the ground, could only feel more jealousy. Resentment level: 90%.】
【In the end, the reinforcements from the Seven Stars Sword Sect arrived, and Autumn Wind City was saved. Just as he had promised, Lin Xuan fought until the very end. He might even have been the one who killed the most enemies.】
【But the cost was heavy. Countless cultivators in the city were killed or injured, and my father was among those who died on the battlefield.】
【The Su family fell into decline, and I was the only one left.】
【Because of this battle, Lin Xuan’s reputation soared. There wasn’t a single person in Autumn Wind City who didn’t thank him.】
【Everyone saw how fiercely Lin Xuan fought during the battle.】
【And the reinforcements from the Seven Stars Sword Sect were also because of Lin Xuan, so it’s no wonder he was hailed as the MVP.】
【As for me, once the battle was over, I was immediately called to account. My cowardice was exposed, and my reputation was utterly ruined.】
【With the Su family gone, I had nowhere to hide. I could only slink back to the sect with my tail between my legs.】
【But even the disciples in the sect couldn’t stand me after hearing about my actions. They reported me to the sect, demanding that I be expelled.】
【What could I do? I had no choice but to turn to Elder Yan Xi. His status as an elder could still protect me.】
【After all, I was just a coward—I didn’t harm anyone else. If Elder Yan Xi really wanted to protect me, it wouldn’t be a problem.】
【After this incident, my resentment toward Lin Xuan reached 100%.】
【As a villain, I’m not about to reflect on my own actions—that would be humiliating. I’ll just blame everything on Lin Xuan.】
【Why is it that Lin Xuan keeps getting more and more glorious, admired by everyone, while I’ve become a pariah?】
【I believe that everything that’s happened is because of Lin Xuan. Ever since I met him, nothing good has come my way.】
【And so, my journey to grow stronger and seek revenge began. Well, it’s more accurate to say I’m just growing stronger—revenge is definitely not going to succeed. He’s the protagonist, after all.】
【There’s one more thing that happened in Autumn Wind City. After the beast army was defeated, Li Siyi’s entire family was wiped out.】
【Remember how Lin Xuan took the Breeze Pendant from her family? Well, the hidden family that the pendant belonged to finally tracked it down and showed up.】
【Only one person came, but he was a Nascent Soul expert. In a city like Autumn Wind City, he could cause chaos without breaking a sweat.】
【He searched for a long time but couldn’t find the pendant. All he could confirm was that it was near the Li family.】
【He grew impatient and started interrogating the Li family, but how could they know anything about it?】
【In a fit of rage, he began killing the Li family members one by one. At the critical moment, Li Siyi arrived and said she was a disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Sect.】
【He was from a hidden family, powerful and backed by a strong force. Would the name of the Seven Stars Sword Sect really deter him?】
【Well, it actually did. So, he killed everyone in the Li family except for Li Siyi.】
【His excuse was, “I’ve helped you sever your worldly ties. You should be thanking me.”】
【He didn’t dare touch a disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Sect, but family members were a different story. He didn’t believe the sect would go after a Nascent Soul expert like him over some ordinary people, especially since he had the backing of a hidden family. The Seven Stars Sword Sect would have to think twice.】
【The sect might not, but Lin Xuan would.】
【However, Lin Xuan was unconscious at the time due to his severe injuries. He only heard about this later and made a mental note of the hidden family.】
【Later on, this hidden family crossed paths with Lin Xuan again. It started as a minor issue, but with old grudges added to the mix, the hidden family was wiped out.】
【All because of one idiot, the entire family suffered.】
【Oh, it seems I’m in a similar situation. Such is the sorrow of being a villain.】
Su Luo closed his diary and sat quietly.
He had gone through this dozens of times, and he should have been able to face it calmly by now.
But sometimes, he couldn’t help but wonder—if he weren’t the villain, and if he acted according to his own personality, would he shine brightly in this world and be admired by everyone?
Yes, he had tried it before, and it was truly satisfying.
But he couldn’t complete the story. He would just start over.
After restarting, he felt empty.
So, several times, he had endured the nauseating plot and played his role. He had even achieved a perfect run before, with high standards for everything. Even if it was unpleasant, he had to endure and act.
But he still couldn’t complete the story.
This was the last time.

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.
