Born to Disappear

Chapter 4

Chief Chen Qinyang suddenly felt pain. Memories that do not belong to him seem to be put into the brain. His gaze spun, he closed his eyes, gripped his head and re-opened his eyes after a while.

He was gasping, his heart was hammering. The memory belongs to the body it uses. And now he had crossed over into the novel he had just read. Not only that, she had crossed over to the body of the female protagonist. The future pair of male protagonists, the future empress of the heavens.

He had crossed over to Chen Qinyang's body from the Return of the Celestial Emperor.

Chen Qinyang remembered she should still be sitting in front of her computer, reading her favorite online novel. And now, he was lying on the top of the stairs that he could not even see the end of. A young man in his fifteen years stood before him, reached out and looked at him gently.

The novel he read was titled The Return of the Emperor of the heavens. It tells the struggle of a beggar who turns out to be the incarnation of a celestial emperor who has fallen in a great war.

The protagonist originally comes from an ordinary family, then his country goes to war and one city becomes a refugee. On the way to the city that was further away from the battlefield, the bandits attacked the refugee caravan. Everyone was killed, leaving him and the future villain Yuan Qing. But everything started to improve when he entered the Soaring Cloud sect. Being the only disciple of the sect leader. His life changed, along the smooth path as if on asphalt. The only thing that was slightly bumpy was his love story, he liked a girl, Chen Qinyang but this girl liked Yuan Qing who was the character of the villain boss.

The only reason he did not dare to make a move was because Yuan Qing, the friend who had passed through life and death with him also liked Chen Qinyang.

However that was only the beginning part, as the female protagonist was only for the male protagonist.

After going through a series of harassment from cannon fodder, Yuan Qing blackened. He defected from the soaring Cloud sect into a demon cultivator. Not an ordinary demon cultivator, with his natural demon physique he became a demon king capable of moving an army of ghosts.

At the end of the novel, the male protagonist will return to heaven and become the emperor of the heavens alongside the female protagonist as the consort of the heavens. Yuan Qing who defected to the demon path was defeated.

And the man standing before him, according to the plot was the son of the fifth peak master, Zhou Liangyi. He fell in love with Chen Qinyang for seeing the woman's persistence in breaking the formation, seeing her faint as soon as she reached the top of the stairs. And this incident is exactly the same as the plot in the novel.

“Young sister, can you stand?”

If only he, Chen Qinyang did not know if this man was merely cannon fodder, he would definitely fall in love with the gentle-talking handsome man at the weakest moment.

“I-I'm fine.” Chen Qinyang attempted to emulate the white lotus protagonist in the drama she had once watched, displaying a timid and enchanted expression.

Although this Zhou Liangyi was only cannon fodder, there was no harm in having thick thighs to hold onto when the protagonist and the villains were not yet strong enough and were infatuated with him. To achieve this, it will take at least many years.

“Thanks senior brother,”

Zhou Liangyi felt the soft voice had pierced through his heart; seizing his breath; controlling his mind.

At first he thought that this girl was very attractive. No one knew when the participants entered the trial formation, but the cultivators on guard could see the situation of the participants trapped inside the formation. This is not only to prevent accidents but also to monitor the performance of participants.

Zhou Liangyi saw how the girl struggled to reach the top of the stairs and her heart softened. As soon as he saw the girl's appearance his heart melted. The girl looked like a staunch little white flower standing up despite the wind. Her beauty was not like a senior sister from a separate second peak, nor was it like a senior sister from the third peak who could destroy the country but was able to soften her heart.

Zhou Liangyi : “Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test! Please follow me to go to the student hall for the last election.”

Chen Qinyang: “Thank you senior brother!”

Along the way Chen Qinyang looked around. Looking at the disciples dressed in dark blue and some in light blue clothes with white mixture. According to the description of the novel, they were disciples from both outside and inside. And this disciple hall should have been in the outer sect looking over from the dark blue-clothed disciple who dominated the numbers.

Zhou Liangyi : “Young sisters can wait here with other examinees, in three hours the exam will end.”

Chen Qinyang : “Thank you are still a senior brother. Sorry to have inconvenienced.”

"This junior is called Chen Qinyang, what about senior brother?" Chen Qinyang replied, not forgetting to imitate the gentle smile in the drama he was watching.

"I was called Zhou Liangyi, from the fifth peak."

And after that conversation there was only an awkward silence between the two. It continued until they passed the threshold of the disciple hall door.

Chen Qinyang did not know why. It was not explained that Zhou Liangyi would fall in love with the protagonist at first sight. But why was the man's attitude towards her only lukewarm? He glanced again at the young man dressed in light blue and white clothes, a hint of red staining his cheeks.

"Senior brother, thank you for driving me. If there were no senior brothers, I would probably be circling around without direction." Chen Qinyang said by squeezing both hands while his face was bowed.

"Bu-not a problem!" Zhou Liangyi replied hurriedly, then ran away with his red ears extinguished

Chen Qinyang felt relieved, apparently the plot did not deviate. This Zhou Liangyi might be too embarrassed to interact with a girl. It seemed that this time he had to be more active to pull this big thigh.

Watching the role of the cannon fodder go, Chen Qinyang sat himself down. Leaning against the sidewall, looking around, it seemed that not many candidates had qualified in this year's selection. There were probably only seven people including him.

In the book, the male protagonist ranks first in this selection. Despite not being the main disciple of the Sect master, he entered the first peak. His outstanding performance akhinya made the sect master glance over, making him a direct disciple and making him a center of jealousy and admiration. Followed by the future villain Yuan Qing in second, and Chen Qinyang the female protagonist in fifth. While Yuan Qing was taken in by the fifth peak master who only wanted a container for his soul, the male protagonist and the female protagonist soared after passing through the door.

He felt his mood was very good, not only would his future be very bright but it also gained many admirers!

Chen Qinyang looked around again, he did not know who the future villains were or who the protagonists were. But according to the description of the novel, the young man leaning on the pole in the middle of the hall should be the Protagonist. He wears shabby clothes but has firm jaws, sword eyebrows and a fair face. Both eyes showed a twinkle of heroism that could not be hidden. This should be her future husband!

Chen Qinyang looked back to his right and left as a chill ran down his back and panic suddenly struck. Like a ghost blowing cold air at his neck, like a wild beast staring at his back like prey. He had only just arrived in this world, so he should not attract anyone's hatred.

It must be the original owner!

As quickly as he came and as quickly as that the feeling of emergency went away, leaving an uncomfortable void. Chen Qinyang threw those uncomfortable feelings into the back of his brain as the escaped trial participants came one after another. And until the end of the trial period, there were about fifty participants who escaped. This number was in accordance with the plot of the novel that Chen Qinyang had read, and it should not be long before the top leaders would appear.

Sure enough, when the door of the disciple hall was closed, four men and one woman with imposing auras appeared above the elevated platform. They should be the peak masters of the five major peaks. The sect master was a woman who occupied the first peak, the peak of a thousand swords. This was where the protagonist was supposed to be according to the novel that Chen Qinyang had read about; the second peak was more like regulating the administration and finances of a sect; the third peak was a medical hall specializing in alchemy and medicine; the fourth peak was specialized in forging; and the fifth peak focused on the development of formations.

“Happy to have passed the trial! You guys standing here are the chosen candidates who can enter the soaring cloud sect!”

The one speaking was a young man around twenty years old with a silver-gloved sword in his grasp. This man's performance was very attractive, according to Chen Qinyang as good as the actors of the xianxia drama that he had ever watched.

“The first rank in the exam this time can choose the peak you want to enter and become the peak master's direct disciple with the stipulation if the peak master approves!”

As soon as the voice of the young man fell, boisterous discussions immediately sounded among the disciples who had passed the selection. Making the disciple hall was not a disciple hall but a market with a wide variety of sounds. The masters on top of the platform seemed to have gotten used to this situation, evident by the calm gaze without any annoyance then the 'silent' reprimands that echoed within the brain.

The hall of disciples became quiet in an instant. The young disciples who had passed the selection were like being struck by a silent spell, standing obediently with straight backs and clenched lips.

The young man who had just spoken nodded in satisfaction then continued, “The top twenty positions will be chosen five peak masters to become inner door disciples. And the remaining participants will enter the outer door! Every one year there will be an outdoor door competition, five winners will enter the inner door.”

Chen Qinyang had calculated, there should be no less than fifty qualified participants including himself. Twenty people entered the inner sect and the rest would be in the outer sect. In the books, Chen Qinyang was ranked fifth but was currently slightly different.

Could it be that his move had brought about some changes in the plot?
