Upon unfreezing the OOC function, Shen Jiu honestly didn't act much different. Though, Shen Yuan had been visiting him quite often and talking about all of his issues as a transmigrator.

"Ahhhhhhh but my system is going to make me push Binghe into the abyss! A stick! I'll become a human stick!" He was clinging to Liu Qingge's robes, sobbing. It was almost time for the immortal alliance conference, yet Liu Qingge hadn't seen that demon from 'Town A' again...

"Shen Yuan, you've practically coddled the demon lord... maybe he won't turn you into a stick? Maybe just take off one or two limbs?" He didn't want to admit it but they were both fairly tipsy right now. Over the course of a few years the two had come quite close, forming an odd kind of companionship that Shen Jiu didn't hate.

"I'm only hugging his thighs so he doesn't killlll meeeeeeee!!! Just promise me that you won't let me die Liu-shidiiiiiiii!"
"Yeah, you already know that's my mission. Now get off me!" He snatched the liquor out of Shen Yuan's hands and let it slip down his throat, burning nicely.
"Maybe if we kill Shang QingHua then the demons won't invade the conference..."
"That's always an option." Shen Jiu nodded in agreement.

Both peak lords only allowed the minimum amount of disciples to participate in the upcoming conference, only the strongest of all the disciples. Cang Qiong mountain sect had the least amount of cultivators entering the competition this year.

It was easy for Liu Qingge to bluff saying "I only want the best of the best otherwise they'll be an embarrassment to the peak!" However Shen Qingqiu had more trouble bullshitting, honestly... he was a bigger liar than the original goods!

However, no one could stop the impending doom. Shen Yuan was just about to rant about what a shitty book this was when his system turned around to bite him in the ass.

'What??? But we already know that we both transmigrated... what's the point? Don't tell me Liu Qingge doesn't know that this is a book? Haha! Dumb System! He knows future events!'
[...]
'...'
...
'So that's a yes then- uh... okay... in his timeline was this a movie or something?' He shook his head and rolled his eyes, finding something else to complain about.
"Ahhhhhh Qinggeeeeeeee you're so lucky you transmigrated into Liu Qingge! You have no idea!" Liu Qingge gave a sad smile and glanced over to the bronze mirror which he had covered for the sake of not loosing his mind.

"Yes." He agreed looking back at Shen Yuan's drunk form.
"I don't understand why I had to be Shen QingQiu! Ugh! Literally the worst!" Shen Jiu froze while listening to him rant, like he'd just completely sobered up. "I never understood the original goods! That bastard!" Shen Yuan kept ranting, unaware of Shen Jiu's frozen form, "why did he do all of that anyway? Ahhhhhhhhh! If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have to follow what he did and push Binghe into the abyss! Poor Binghe... Shen Qingqiu abused him so much, and for what? To get even more people killed! Bah! The man deserved what was coming to him!"
"Yeah... he did deserve it."
"I know right!? Aghhhhhhh why do I have to be the scum of the story!" He knew it. Even if he'd made friends now none of them would accept him because of his past decisions, no one liked his true self.

He couldn't deny anything that Shen Yuan had said at all. Because it was true.
"And why did he have to kill Liu Qingge?" Shen Jiu said quietly, though Shen Yuan had heard.
"Yeah! What relevance did that have at all! He didn't need to kill him! Agh, if he had a brain he'd be dangerous!"
"Watch your mouth Shen Yuan." He glared at him dead in the eye, he would not relent. He would never let someone speak so foolishly of his shidi.
"No, no, no! I meant the original Shen Qingqiu! He must've had no brain to think that killing him in those caves was a good idea! Of course he'd get caught!"
"Maybe... it wasn't on purpose. Maybe he didn't mean to kill his martial brother and spent the rest of his life regretting it?"
"Do you really think so?"
