Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me [ BL ]

Chapter 77 - Please have mercy

This chapter is by Lianyin of BC Novels.

Actually, it was not as laid-back at the frontline in Jin He as Xie Xi had said.

It was true that the demonic cultivators had suffered a great loss, but the righteous path had also lost Tian Yuan Sect. The general mood in the righteous path camps had always been bad. They could not keep up with the demonic cultivators, shouting “all for justice” with one voice to denounce their enemy.

The four of them did not even manage to have a break upon their arrival at Jin He as a voice transmitting talisman came flying over to request the presence of Chu Sheng and Lu Qingan at Jin He’s Conference Hall for discussion when they touched down.

Chu Sheng frowned. “They are sure to just be spouting nonsense again. In the end, they still can’t come to a decision. Little brother, head back to Chu’s camp first to rest up.”

Chu Yu did not have any objections, and neither did Xie Xi. Xie Xi’s eyes arched in a smile as he went over to Chu Yu to stick close to him.

Chu Sheng glared at him and fumed, “Aren’t you going to the main hall with Elder Lu?”

Xie Xi’s tone was light. “I’ll go where shixiong goes.”

Chu Yu’s head ached. “Big brother, calm down… Xie Xi, don’t make things worse!”

Chu Sheng and Xie Xi glared at each other for a moment. Seeing that he would not be able to persuade them, Chu Yu sighed, prepared to find a quiet corner to sulk and grow mushrooms.1 Before he could move, Lu Qingan, who had been quietly watching for a long time, spoke up, “Let’s all go together.”

Chu Sheng immediately compromised. “Fine. Little brother, keep up with us.”

It was safer for Chu Yu to follow him than it was for Chu Yu to be alone with Xie Xi.

The moment Chu Yu stepped into the Jin He’s Conference Hall, he felt everyone’s eyes on him. Breaking out in a cold sweat, he continued to maintain the original host’s cold and noble demeanor as he started to mull the situation over in his mind.

Perhaps these bosses… were finding it strange that he had not died even after so many close shaves?

Immediately, someone confirmed Chu Yu’s absent thought. “Clan Head Chu, is this your younger brother, Chu Yu? I’ve heard how your brother managed to remain safe in the Mausoleum Ruins for ten years. This time, he sacrificed his life for righteousness, and yet he managed to return safe and sound even after his fall into the abyss. It’s truly the case that the one who survives a great disaster will be blessed thereafter.”

Chu Sheng’s face darkened as he was reminded of how those two incidents had kept him on tenterhooks. But being the head of a clan now, he could no longer be as candid as before, so he simply cupped his hands and silently led Chu Yu to their seats.

Lu Qingan calmly took his seat beside Chu Sheng.

Everyone here should have known what had just happened at the Tian Yuan Sect’s mountain entrance. The representatives of all the major sects and clans who had been there were here now, but none of them mentioned it. They looked at each other with tacit understanding and smiled as they analyzed the current situation.

The slogan of the righteous path was “suppress the strong to help the weak, slay all villains, and eliminate evil to defend morals”.

Although it was all bullshit.

The demonic cultivators likely knew that the righteous path was only concerned with their reputation, and so they came up with a vicious idea to gather all the commoners of Yun Cuo together. On the battlefield, each of the demonic cultivators would bring along a commoner to use as a shield. Arguably, this kind of atrocity should have been heavily resisted by the ordinary folks of Yun Cuo. Yet it was not. Although, in the end, their resistance would be futile, it would still be better than only being able to stare bitterly at the righteous cultivators before being killed by mistake.
