Bab 25: This Plot is Too Old Fashion
"Where is your master, Wang Chen?" Yue Luang demanded, his eyes narrowing as he loomed over the trembling maid. "If you don't tell me, I'll make sure you lose your job."
Yue Luang has been relentlessly searching for Wang Chen in order to exact his revenge, but so far, he has been unsuccessful in his attempts to locate him. In a desperate move, he turns his attention to Wang Chen's maid, believing that she might know something useful. He is now attempting to extract information from her by threatening to get her kicked out of her job.
"I-I d-don't know where my master is. I was on leave because I was sick," Li Mei stammered, taking a few steps back in fear. She had taken several days off from her duties as a maid since joining Wang Chen's household because she frequently fell ill.
Yue Luang sneered at her. "Don't lie to me, girl. You're his maid, you must know something. Now tell me or face the consequences."
"I swear, I don't know anything!" Li Mei protested, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Hey, what's going on here?" A young man in a luxurious robe suddenly appeared, his features slightly more refined than average. "Why are you bullying a mortal maid who cannot cultivate?" he asked in an authoritative tone.
"Young m-m" Yue Luang stammered as he was shocked by the sudden appearance of a man. Before he could speak, the man gave him a gesture, causing him to stop abruptly.
'Why did the young master Yue Jang pretend to not know me? I get it, the young master wants to be a hero saving beauty!' Yue Luang glanced at Li Mei as he had to admit for a mortal, this maid is quite a beauty.

~Yue Jang pov~
As I was passing by, I caught a glimpse of Yue Luang talking to a lady. She was beautiful and I felt a sudden attraction to her. It was then that I heard Yue Luang threatening the maid, Li Mei. That's when an idea popped into my head - I could play the role of the hero, saving the princess in distress, and gain favorability in the eyes of both the lady and my family servant.
With a sly grin, I approached the scene, pretending not to know Yue Luang. "Excuse me, miss, is everything alright?" I said, trying to play the part of the concerned hero.
~Pov End~
Yue Luang shot me a surprised look, but quickly recovered and played along with my little act. "Who are you? And what business do you have here?" he said, in a harsh tone.
"I'm just passing by and heard some commotion. Is there anything I can do to help?" I said, gesturing towards Li Mei.
Yue Luang was playing the role of a villain to make his young master, Yue Jang, look like a hero. But suddenly they heard a voice interrupting them.
"Why are you playing the role of saving the princess in distress?" the voice asked.
It was none other than Wang Chen who had appeared, and upon seeing him, Yue Luang became angry. He felt a sudden rush of emotions, his longstanding feud with Wang Chen coming to the surface. Without thinking, he blurted out, "My lord, beat him!" Everyone present there heard this sentence, and Yue Luang quickly realized his mistake. He tried to backtrack and deny what he had said earlier, but it was too late. Wang Chen had already caught on, a smirk appearing on his face. "Oh, Yue Luang," he taunted, "you really can't control yourself around me, can you?"
Wang Chen had already caught on, saying, "You really exposed yourself."
Yue Luang's role-playing as the villain had turned against him, and his attempt to make Yue Jang look like a hero had failed.
~Wang Chen Pov~
After returning to the sect, I headed straight to the task hall to submit my mission. As I walked back to my cabin, I noticed that it hadn't been cleaned yet. Irritated, I decided to complain to the inner maid staff. Just as I was about to leave, I received a notification from the system.
[Ding! A son of luck 'Yue Jang' detected near the host, Please make his luck drop and kill him when he is not protected by heaven's will.]
[Ding! A daughter of luck 'Li Mei' detected near the host, conqueror her or kill her.]
"Huh?" I was caught off guard by the sudden notification. I looked around and saw a familiar figure not far away - it was Yue Luang. There were two people with him, one was a luxurious robe-wearing guy, and the other was a maid who was trembling and weeping.
"Aren't Yue Luang and Yue Jang both from the same family?" Wang Chen wondered. "Why do I feel like I'm hearing their conversation as if Yue Luang is the villain and Yue Jang is the hero? Wait a minute, isn't this plot too old fashioned? A hero saving a princess in distress! With me here, your plot is not going to be successful," I muttered under my breath as I approached them.
~Pov End~
'System show me the status of protagonist Yue' Wang thought as he glanced at Yue Jang.
