Get Demoted Into Cannon Fodder

Arc 5.10

''Eat.''

Seeing his cheap Shizun grab a piece of meat and place it in his bowl, Mo Xian felt rather conflicted.

By all means, he should be repulsed, but the problem was that he didn't.

He was simply unused, that's it.

Mo Xian muffled a thanks and put the meat into his mouth. After several chews, he paused.

What? It tastes... very good?

Shi Shen was confident in his own craft, so he didn't have to ask whether the food was good or not. He merely said, ''Eat a lot so that you can grow taller.''

When his height was suddenly brought up, Mo Xian subconsciously recalled his adult height.

Hm, I should be taller than him by at least half a head?

In the previous life, by the time Mo Xian brought his army to invade the cultivation realm, Zhao Zhen was long gone. Therefore, the latter had never seen the grown-up version of the disciple, whom he personally abolished his cultivation.

Due to the combination of eating delicious food and a young body that was rapidly growing up, Mo Xian finished three bowls of rice and wiped every dish on the table clean.

Before leaving him to do some self-study, Shi Shen said, ''Prepare a guest room for the fourth elder. He might be here for a while.''

Mo Xian acknowledged his order, but deep down, he couldn't help but frown.

Since when have those two gotten along with each other?

And speaking of which, what's wrong with that Xie Lan?

Unlike Zhao Zhen, whom he suspected of coming back in time as well, Xie Lan was a total fake.

Other than their appearances and cultivation, there was no resemblance whatsoever. It was surprising that no one had caught on yet.

What Mo Xian couldn't understand was that, unlike his cheap Shizun, Xie Lan's cultivation was high. He was one of the most troublesome opponents he had to deal with when he attacked the Floating Cloud Sect.

The man was cold and indifferent, as expected of someone who cultivated the Heartless Dao. To think that this kind of individual had his body snatched by someone who resembled a weak chicken was beyond comprehension.

Unless someone came up to him and proved that Xie Lan had suffered a severe head injury, causing him to be mentally degraded, he refused to believe they were the same person.

Unless.

Mo Xian did not just go back to the past, but he went to another world.

A world where everything was the same yet different at the same time.

If this Zhao Zhen was not that Zhao Zhen, then he had no reason to hold him accountabl-

At the thought of this, Mo Xian froze.

Just now... Was he trying to justify himself for not wanting to take revenge on Zhao Zhen?

Mo Xian felt ridiculous.

How many years has he spent resenting this man? How can it be resolved in less than a week?

Not to mention, it was not yet proven that this was indeed another world. And yet, he actually harbored such thoughts?

Feeling that his mind had grown weak, Mo Xian went to train at the waterfall and only came back at nightfall.

Mo Xian dropped by Shi Shen's room to report, only to be welcomed by a table full of mouthwatering dishes.
