Gou Guangming and his three guards stood up a step slower than Fu Young.

While calm on the surface, their eyes still showed disbelief.

This was the male protagonist from Against the God, the one who was supposed to be heartless, emotionless, closest to the Heavenly Dao and capable of destroying and recreating all things.

Was this really that person?

Heartless and emotionless, yet smiling so ingratiatingly?

Smiling so brightly?

No.

He was now called Fu Young.

He was the disciple of that man who seemed easy to see through.

He was no longer the protagonist of Against the God.

They had been deceived.

Gou Guangming’s inner self almost cried a waterfall of tears.

If he had known this earlier, when he first met him, he would not have been so eager to cling to the "protagonist’s thigh" and offered up his soul essence just to gain trust.

It was no wonder he had tried to show loyalty and even offered up his soul essence, only to be met with an expression that looked like he was seeing a madman.

Yesterday, when he was summoned, he had been extremely excited, but now that he thought about it, his actions really were no different from a lunatic’s behavior.

If he had known earlier that the male protagonist was not going to destroy the world and had instead switched careers to become a disciple, why would he have bothered clinging to him?

Living freely would have been much better.

He regretted it deeply, but it was already too late.

His soul essence had been given away and his life and death were now in the other party’s hands.

Was that man also a transmigrator? Or was this the butterfly effect caused by his own arrival?

However, yesterday after following the protagonist’s instructions, he had deliberately tested the protagonist’s master by modifying a set of clothes with patterns from top international brands from his original world.

Yet he showed no reaction at all.

His expression was only a forced calmness, not the shock one would expect from encountering a fellow transmigrator.

He could still tell the difference.

So he was probably not a transmigrator.

Forget it.

Whether he was a transmigrator or a native did not matter.

Since he had successfully gained the protagonist’s favor, he was basically on the same level as the female lead.

After all, in the original story, the suspected female lead Lu Qing’er had stayed by his side for nearly ten thousand years and still never received even a single smile from him, let alone such an ingratiating expression.

Sigh.

In the end, it was just that he had been too naive.

Even though Gou Guangming’s inner self was crying and rolling on the ground, he did not dare show even a hint of it on his face.

What if one day the protagonist was displeased again and decided to destroy the world?

He had the ability and the qualifications to do so.

Thinking about it this way, clinging to the protagonist actually felt a bit safer...

After completing his self-psychological adjustment, Gou Guangming’s expression became even more respectful.

Xiao Shou had no idea that Gou Guangming had taken the branded logos from his world and put them onto the sect disciple robes.

After all, although they were both transmigrators, they had come from different novels, Longevity Love and Against the God, and they were just cannon fodder characters from each.

Even their original worlds were different, so how could they possibly recognize each other’s brand symbols?

Instead, he felt that the person who designed the Eternal Prosperity Sect disciple robes had quite good craftsmanship.

The clothes were beautiful, elegant, and gave off a refined immortal aura.

The emblem on the chest was especially distinctive, the kind that made people want to look at it again.

It must be a specially designed sect symbol.

Hmm, not bad.

Should future disciple tokens also use this emblem?

Xiao Shou’s thoughts drifted slightly.

On the surface, however, he instinctively suppressed his facial expressions and pretended to be expressionless.

Looking at Fu Young’s distressed expression, he felt speechless.

After the formal greetings ended and the others from the Chen family withdrew, leaving only Fu Young and the people he brought, he raised his hand and set up a Tier 4 formation to isolate the hall, then finally asked, "Didn’t you say you were still in the sect two days ago? How did you get here so quickly?"

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not possibly fly a hundred thousand miles in two days.

There was no teleportation array in White Silver City either. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The nearest teleportation array was eighty thousand miles away and even that distance could not be covered in two days.

Fu Young’s eyes flashed with a hint of pride, but he still put on a mature and composed expression as he said in a very grown-up tone, "It was thanks to my disciple, Cao Xue, whom I accepted on behalf of Master. Cao Xue, come and meet the sect leader."

"This disciple, Cao Xue, greets the sect leader."

Cao Xue knew that this time being introduced was not part of any act like before, but a sincere formal introduction.

He immediately performed a respectful bow and said, "This disciple is originally an unnamed independent cultivator. Since childhood I have been obsessed with formations and proficient in all kinds of arrays. I am now a Tier 5 formation master. This time I urgently set up a one-way teleportation array, which is why I arrived today."

"A Tier 5 formation master in the Heaven Origin Realm can already be considered a grandmaster of formations. With talent like yours, why would you join such a small sect?" Xiao Shou said after hearing this, feeling more shock than joy.

A formation grandmaster like this would normally be fought over even by major sects such as the Heavenly Void Sect.

So why...

His brows furrowed slightly.

Cao Xue chuckled and glanced at Fu Young.

As expected of master and disciple, even the questions were the same.
