Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person

"This brat, he actually lied to me?! Lied to me?!"

The angry roar swept through the cave, shaking the dust in the cave into pieces.

Even so, Xiaoyaozi was still not satisfied. He angrily drew the long sword from his waist and was ready to attack.

The reason why he was so angry was that he did not expect that Jiang Wenbai would sell him out so easily, and sold him to his senior brother so easily that he was forcibly taken back to the Haotian Sect by his senior brother and was imprisoned in this retreat by his master, unable to go out.

His niece hadn't been rescued yet, but he had to stay here in seclusion, unable to even leave. And the source of all this was Jiang Wenbai, whom he deeply trusted. How could he not be angry in this situation! How could he not be angry! He couldn't help being angry!

Seeing this, the sect leader Dan Chenzi, who had just arrived, sat cross-legged elegantly and said helplessly to Xiaoyaozi who was venting his anger inside:

"Junior brother, you know that Master is doing this for your own good?!"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, Xiaoyaozi exploded instantly. He looked indignantly at Danchenzi, who was sitting cross-legged opposite him and looked like an immortal. He couldn't help but mock him:

"For my own good?! You always say that, but what's the result?! When my Yan family was exterminated, did he ever intervene?! When my niece was bullied, did he ever intervene?!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. In the end, he just started to curse:

"That old man had no good intentions from the beginning. He tricked me into becoming his apprentice, saying that practicing Taoism could protect my family. I did learn and practice, but where are my family? Where are my family?!"

As he said this, he angrily swung his sword towards the cave. However, the moment he swung the sword, his sword energy was forcibly absorbed by the formation in the cave, so that not even a trace of dust was shaken off.

Seeing this, he became more and more angry, even jumping up and down in anger, and the words of resentment in his mouth became more and more incessant.

Seeing this, Dan Chenzi looked at him helplessly and couldn't help but stop him:

"Junior brother, how many times do you want me to tell you that destiny cannot be violated? The annihilation of your Yan family is the will of heaven. No matter how profound your cultivation is, you cannot go against destiny."

Xiaoyaozi obviously didn't listen to Danchenzi's earnest advice, and even said with a sarcastic look on his face:

"Destiny?! Oh, destiny! What did my Yan family do wrong? What did my brother's clan do wrong?! To deserve such a tragic calamity of genocide?!"

As he said this, he drew out his sword angrily and slashed at it again, gritting his teeth as he slashed:

"Fuck destiny, I don't believe in it. I want to go against the will of heaven. I want to let the world see that I, Yan Xiaoyao..."

Upon hearing this, Dan Chenzi's brows straightened and he asked in a deep voice:

"What if the price of going against the will of Heaven is that your niece dies in front of you?! Will you... still go against the will of Heaven?!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoyaozi interrupted all his lofty words and stopped making trouble. He looked at Danchenzi with disbelief, not understanding what he meant by these words? !

Seeing this, Dan Chenzi restrained his serious expression and explained in a friendly manner:

"Master has calculated that your niece has a master behind her who is secretly protecting her, so she won't be in danger. However, if you intervene again without any care, she might die."

Seeing his sincerity, Xiaoyaozi instantly quieted down. He obediently sheathed his sword, sat cross-legged, even placed his sword on his knees, and began to meditate.

Seeing that Xiaoyaozi had actually calmed down, Danchenzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then slowed down his tone and continued:

"Master said that your niece and I could have easily avoided this disaster, but you sneaked down the mountain before and disrupted the destiny. Therefore, her disaster is more dangerous than before. Tell me, are you causing more trouble?!"

Seeing that Dan Chenzi actually said that he was causing trouble, Xiaoyaozi couldn't help but refute:

"I didn't, I clearly..."

"I know you mean well, but destiny is a matter of chance. Not to mention, you've been down the mountain for a few days and have already disrupted fate. If you continue to make trouble, I'm afraid I'll really have to collect the body of your niece."

At this point, his expression was tinged with compassion and sympathy, and he asked softly:

"Junior brother, are you really willing to change your fate without any hesitation? Even if it means the life of your eldest brother's only surviving offspring... as the price?!"

This series of questions made Xiaoyaozi completely silent, because he didn't dare to gamble. If it was his own life, he could gamble, and the worst that could happen was death.

But Dan Chenzi mentioned the life of Yan Wenmo, his only blood relative, his only family member in the world, which made him hesitate.

He could bet on his own life, but he was unwilling and didn't want to use his niece's life to gamble on a chance to change her fate, so he silently looked at the sword in front of him, hesitating for a long time before asking:

"Then when will my niece be able to return safely? When will she be able to escape this life-threatening love calamity? You have to give me a deadline!"

Seeing Xiaoyaozi give in, Danchenzi finally felt relieved. He stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his clothes, and said firmly:

"Master said that you will be able to see your niece next July at the latest. A safe and sound niece, without any injury. The premise is that you stay here obediently before next July, don't make any more noise, and don't go down the mountain. Otherwise, you know that fate is cruel."

Xiaoyaozi stared at the long sword lying in front of him in silence for a long time. Although he was worried about Yan Wenmo's situation, he remembered that he would cause trouble for her if he went down the mountain, so he could only say in silence:

"I...will stay."

After comforting Xiaoyaozi, Danchenzi left the retreat. As soon as he left the retreat, he saw Shangguan Zhi standing at the entrance. He looked at him respectfully and said:

"Master, I have sent Third Junior Brother to deliver the things Junior Brother wants. But everyone is worried about the safety of Thirteenth Junior Brother. I wonder if we can do something to help?!"

In response to Shangguan Zhi's question, Dan Chenzi sighed, then shook his head and said:

"It's not the time to intervene yet. You have to remember that some things can be dealt with slowly rather than quickly. The sooner you intervene, the more likely you are to have the opposite effect and bring disaster. We have to go with the flow and take advantage of the situation. Do you understand?"

Shangguan Zhi heard this, glanced at the place of retreat, and asked hesitantly:

"Does the Grand Master really not care about his disciple? He is the only blood relative of Uncle Xiaoyaozi. If the Grand Master doesn't help, I'm afraid Uncle..."

"How could I not care?! If I really didn't care, how could I deliberately imprison your uncle here, how could I help cover up the fate stars for your brother and uncle, and why would I be afraid of causing trouble for her and hesitate to take action?"

As he spoke, Dan Chenzi sighed more helplessly:

"Disciple, destiny cannot be violated, destiny cannot be resolved, and destiny cannot be changed. All we can do is to take advantage of the situation, let nature take its course, and turn misfortune into fortune. Forcibly changing destiny will only bring disaster, do you understand?!"

Shangguan Zhi stared at Dan Chenzi in a daze. After a long while, he seemed to understand and said:

"So, it's not that the Grand Master wants to stand aside and watch, but the fate of Junior Brother Thirteen prevents him from interfering, let alone changing it, right?!"

Dan Chenzi looked at Shangguan Zhi and was silent for a long time before he agreed:

"Although your master didn't say it, it should be like this. After all, the fate of your thirteenth junior brother is really... mysterious and hard to predict."

As he spoke, he stroked his beard and explained with a puzzled look on his face:

"Your master said that her fate is something that even gods cannot easily interfere with, let alone him. Her fate is extremely chaotic and changeable, and people really don't know what changes will happen to her fate in the next moment."

At this point, his brows furrowed even more, and he was obviously worried.

Shangguan Zhi looked at Dan Chenzi's frown and pondered for a long time before he grasped two key points.

First, Yan Wenmo's fate is too chaotic and changes too much, so the master dare not intervene.

Second, the master does not dare to interfere with the ever-changing fate, for fear of bringing disaster to the owner of the fate.

Perhaps, he could tell this news to his junior fellow apprentice. Perhaps, he could come up with some good ideas to save people from it.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously used the communication talisman to send a message to Jiang Wenbai and told him his opinion. After all, if he could help him more at this time, Junior Brother Thirteen would surely feel more relaxed.
