Listening to the tone of this big shot in front of her, Bai Ling suddenly had a familiar feeling, just like her third aunt in her previous life, who said she would introduce her to intern at her own company after graduation.

This was what she said back then: "My company is a top 500 enterprise in the country. It's impossible for graduates from your school to intern at my company. If it wasn't for your dad helping me a little in the past, I wouldn't casually let people through the back door like this. If you don't do well, it will be an embarrassment to me."

Bai Ling's favorability towards Xuan Cang -9999.

She replied expressionlessly, "You old man, go back to where you came from. I can't reach that high."

Xuan Cang said nothing more and left with a swish of his sleeve, only leaving behind one sentence: "In the future, you won't be qualified to enter Mount Youfu again."

After Xuan Cang left, Bai Ling finally let out a breath and cursed, "Screw your immortal ass! Who the hell wants to go to your broken mountain!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the sect master, who had been acting like a wallflower on the side, sauntered over and said to Bai Ling with a smile, "Bai Ling ah, the Supreme God Xuan Cang is very powerful. Didn't you want to visit Mount Youfu before? How come now that the Supreme God Xuan Cang has personally come, you're unwilling to go?"

Bai Ling picked up her hammer again. "I've changed my mind. No matter how great Mount Youfu is, I don't want to go anymore. Did you see the way that god looked down on me? Just thinking about it makes me angry. If I went, I might end up fighting with him, and I can't beat him anyway. Forget it, I hate people who look down on me, order me around, and think they're doing me a favor."

"No matter how powerful Mount Youfu is, if I won't be happy there, I don't want to go. I feel happy here, so I want to stay. Compared to him, my master Chi Yan is much better. My master Chi Yan doesn't look down on me and treats me like his own daughter. But him? He looks like a stepmother."

Bai Ling pouted, raised her hammer, and slammed it down with a thud, making the entire furnace shake.

After the sect leader also left with his hands behind his back, Bai Ling stopped hammering and tapped the shell at her waist.

"Old Seashell, why aren't you saying anything?"

The Old Seashell's voice was weak. "Sigh, I don't have much to say."

Bai Ling rubbed her nose. "I thought you were going to scold me."

The Old Seashell said, "How could I scold you, little master? I wanted you to go to Mount Youfu to find a powerful master so no one could bully you anymore. But since Supreme God Xuan Cang doesn't like you, and you're so good, if he doesn't like you, you'll definitely be bullied at Mount Youfu... Sigh, in that case, little master, you should stay here. You have people who love you here and you're happy. I'm glad too."

Bai Ling didn't expect the Old Seashell to say that. She picked up the shell, held it to her face, and laughed. "Old man, you're so good. Don't worry, I'll get stronger and stronger. Anyone who dares to bully me, I can smash them dead with one hammer blow!"

The Old Seashell, who had never been too satisfied with the cute little master using a hammer, suddenly felt the solid and heavy sense of security brought by the hammer at this moment. He couldn't help but think that using a hammer wasn't bad after all.

As for the Supreme God Xuan Cang, after being despised by the brat, he completely gave up the idea of taking her as his disciple.

Originally, if she were an obedient child, he would have casually accepted her. But what he saw was someone who couldn't be associated with obedience at all, and her words made him dislike her. Since it was her own choice, he didn't need to keep that little favor from back then in mind anymore.

He returned to Mount Youfu, ready to go into seclusion again. However, this time, as soon as he entered the hall, he felt a wave of dizziness. After a moment, he raised his head, his already cold expression becoming even more frigid, and a light screen appeared beside him.

"Connection successful, inner persona awakening successful."

While in the void, he had been thinking about how to deal with the deviating world. He finally concluded that no matter what, he had to first get the female lead in his hands.

As long as the female lead still loved him, everything would be fine. Once the female lead fell in love with him, the plot could unfold later, or it wouldn't matter if it deviated a bit. Another very important point was to eliminate those male rivals eyeing the female lead.

Having experienced having his woman snatched away by the male rival twice, he felt deeply aggrieved and vowed to never let it happen a third time.

Although the imagination was good, when the inner persona awakened in Supreme God Xuan Cang's outer persona body and recalled what the outer persona had just done, he couldn't help but curse, "Foolish!"

It was unclear who he was cursing at.

The difficulty of gaining the female lead's favor had suddenly increased.

Moreover, this time, even if he were blind, he could see that this female lead was not right. She was definitely not his original female lead. That strange accent and that hammer with bizarre aesthetics... Xuan Cang calmed down for a moment.

He looked down on this kind of woman. If it weren't for the fact that the "female lead" was too important in this world and couldn't have any problems, and he was bound by the will of the world and couldn't touch the taboo, he would definitely try to eliminate the thing inside the female lead's body and get back the original female lead who loved him enough to sacrifice everything.

The only thing to be thankful for was that because this female lead didn't follow the original route, the few male rivals she should have met in the original work had not yet met her.

Yes, in this world, there were several male rival characters. A proud phoenix Feng Chi, a devoted human cultivator Jian Yunzi, a Mount Youfu disciple Dong Yuan, and a nameless demonic entity who escaped from the Demon Abyss.

The first three all needed special attention, while the last one didn't need to be managed for now, because he still had to wait ten years for the Demon Abyss to fully open before he could come out.

In addition to these male rivals, other male characters also had to be guarded against. No, he still had to go to the female lead's side to keep an eye on her.

Xuan Cang concealed his figure and descended from Mount Youfu again, arriving at the Blazing Flame Valley of Guiyi Immortal Sect. He was there to find out if there was anyone around the female lead who could threaten his position as the male lead.

But after watching for half a month, he found that this female lead, Bai Ling, had completely made forging weapons her lifelong career. She swung her hammer every day, and the only people coming and going around her were a few sturdy senior brothers and her master. There was no suspicious situation at all.

The only disharmonious thing was that he discovered a small demon had been peeping at the female lead. That thing had weak power and somehow luckily awakened two forms, able to transform into a rat and a crow.

That was his female lead, and a small demon dared to covet her. It was ridiculous.

After investigating the female lead's situation, Xuan Cang was about to return when he casually captured that ridiculous rat demon and took it with him. Originally, he was going to directly crush the rat demon to death, but he happened to pass by the Luyang territory and saw a crack of the Demon Abyss open there.

He changed his mind and directly threw the rat into the Demon Abyss.

Such a thing entering that place would be immediately devoured by the fierce demons, and the process of being devoured was extremely painful—this was his punishment for the bold little demon.

Author's Note: The original male lead has finally appeared!

Male lead: Who is messing with me?

Me: It's me.
