I'm a cannon fodder, but I'm actually a heartthrob

Chapter 158: Transmigrated into the Cannon Fodder Junior Brother of the Protagonist 8

"No," Rong Jin drew circles on the ground while holding a branch, "I just think I'm so stupid."

I've been practicing sword for so many days but to no avail.

Xiao Huairang touched his head and said, "You can't rush sword training. You are only in your twenties. Take your time. Not only sword training, but also cultivation should not be rushed. The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to breed inner demons, and in the end, all your efforts may be wasted."

"Thank you, brother. I understand."

Rong Jin was full of motivation again and practiced sword for five hours in one go today.

After a tiring day, Rong Jin returned to the bedroom and did not see the little snake. However, when he was about to go to bed, the little snake came back and curled up beside him to sleep.

After spending a night with the little snake, Rong Jin is no longer too afraid of it and even dares to touch its head.

"I suddenly feel that snakes are not that scary. They are quite cute."

0517 sneered.

Snakes might not be that scary, but the same can't be said for other things.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

This year, Rong Jin did not slack off for a single day and practiced swordplay for four hours every day.

He had a vague feeling of breakthrough, but breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Golden Core Stage was much more difficult than before. Even after practicing hard every day, Rong Jin still felt that he was a little short of it.

Xiao Huairang had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage this year. He came to Rong Jin's room early this morning and asked, "Junior brother, do you want to go down the mountain with me to train? If you don't go down the mountain, Master will come out."

Rong Jin did not refuse again.

"Brother, when do we set off?"

Xiao Huairang said: "Tomorrow."

Rong Jin stretched and said, "Okay, Senior Brother, I will go down the mountain with you tomorrow."

As a result, at four o'clock in the morning, Rong Jin, who was still asleep, was woken up by Xiao Huairang.

"Let's go, we are going down the mountain."

Rong Jin was still asleep, and asked angrily, "Why did you get up so early?"

Xiao Huairang: "Because..."

Under Rong Jin's curious gaze, Xiao Huairang smiled and said, "Because I am willing to do so."

Rong Jin slapped him on the back and yelled his name angrily: "Xiao Huairang!"

Their destination this time is Changyan County. It is said that more than ten people have disappeared in Changyan County since half a year ago.

And all those missing people had the surname Chang.

After arriving at Changyan County, Xiao Huai settled Rong Jin in the inn and went to the county magistrate's office of Changyan County alone to inquire.

But when he came back, he saw Rong Jin surrounded by two men, talking and laughing.

The candied haws that Xiao Huairang brought for Rong Jin was almost broken by him.

He adjusted his attitude, forced a smile, walked closer and asked, "What are you talking about? Rongrong is smiling so happily."

Rong Jin turned around and saw him, and said, "Master...Brother Xiao, we didn't talk about anything."

This was the title that Xiao Huai discussed with Rong Jin when they were going down the mountain. He said that calling him senior brother or junior brother would easily reveal one's identity, so in order not to alert the enemy, he asked Rong Jin to call him Brother Xiao.

Shen Yu and Chen Zhuo, who were sitting next to Rong Jin, heard their conversation and their faces became much gloomier.

Xiao Huairang naturally saw it, and it was the smile that made his face more sincere.

"Rongrong, brother brought you some candied haws. Do you like them?"

Rong Jin's eyes lit up, he took the candied haws from him and said, "I like it! Thank you, Brother Xiao."

Chen Zhuo didn't say anything, but Shen Yu said sarcastically: "Brother Xiao, why did you leave Brother Shen alone in the inn? Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Xiao Huairang smiled and said, "Don't underestimate your Senior Brother Shen. Although he is young, he is very powerful."

Rong Jin felt warm at heart after hearing this, and quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful!"

Shen Yu looked at Xiao Huairang meaningfully and said nothing more.

After Rong Jin finished eating the candied haws, Xiao Huairang asked them casually, "Do Junior Brother Shen and Junior Brother Chen have anything to do in Changyan County?"

Chen Zhuo said, "We are here to investigate the disappearance of the Chang family in Changyan County."

Xiao Huairang frowned and said, "Didn't Rongrong and I already accept this mission?"

Generally, a task that has been received will not appear a second time.

Chen Zhuo was surprised and said, "Really? Then the Mission Hall must have made a mistake."

This is indeed possible, but Xiao Huairang didn't believe the coincidence he mentioned.

He had always disliked these two junior brothers, so he found an excuse to take Rong Jin away with him.

Late at night, Xiao Huairang came quietly to Rong Jin's room next door.

Rong Jin was about to go to bed, and when he saw him come in, he asked, "Brother Xiao, is there anything wrong?"

His voice was soft, and calling him "Brother Xiao" was especially pleasant, which made Xiao Huai's heart almost melt.

He only regretted that he hadn't tricked Rong Jin into calling him brother earlier.

Xiao Huairang suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and said, "I went to the county magistrate's mansion in Changyan County today and suspected that there was something wrong with the county magistrate."

"Hey," Rong Jin looked at him sideways and said, "Those missing people couldn't be the work of the county magistrate, could it be?"

"Not necessarily, but the county magistrate must know something."

Just as Xiao Huairang finished saying this, there was a knock on Rong Jin's door.

"Brother Shen, are you there?"

Rong Jin said, "Yes."

Shen Yu and Chen Zhuo pushed the door open and walked in.

Shen Yu curled his lips and said, "Oh, Senior Brother Xiao is here too."

Xiao Huairang looked at them with displeasure and said in a cold tone, "Are you guys busy? If not, don't disturb me and Rongrong's conversation."

"Of course I came to see Senior Brother Shen because I have something to ask."

Shen Yu walked to Rong Jin's side and sat down in a familiar manner, and Chen Zhuo did the same.

Xiao Huairang's face became even uglier.

Rong Jin felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he asked, "What are you two junior brothers here for?"

In Cang Xuan Sect, Rong Jin had seen Chen Zhuo and Shen Yu many times, but seeing that they were inseparable, Rong Jin thought they were a couple, so he tried to give them some time to spend together so as not to disturb his two junior brothers, resulting in very few conversations.

Chen Zhuo finally seized the opportunity and said, "I found out something about the magistrate of Changyan County."

Rong Jin asked: "What's the matter?"

Chen Zhuo did not keep the topic secret and got straight to the point: "I heard that the Magistrate of Changyan County, Jiang Yue, has a daughter who married a cultivator a few years ago and traveled around the world."

"A year ago, Jiang Yue's daughter returned to Changyan County and brought her newborn grandson to visit Jiang Yue. A few days later, Jiang Yue's daughter, grandson, and son-in-law disappeared together."

Jiang Yue’s daughter, grandchildren and son-in-law disappeared, and people with the surname Chang in the county also disappeared. Is there any connection between the two?

I thought about it for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.

"Qiqi, I am indeed an idiot."

0517 said: [You are not stupid, it’s just that there are too few clues at the moment. ]

0517's consolation was very effective, and Rong Jin immediately said with confidence: "Yes, so I must work hard to find clues and cannot embarrass myself in front of my two junior brothers!"

Shen Yu said slowly: "I also found some interesting things."

"Before Jiang Yue's daughter and her family disappeared, the last person they saw was Chang Fu, and Chang Fu was the first person to go missing in Changyan County."

Xiao Huai cast a sharp look at Shen Yu and Chen Zhuo.

The two of them found so much useful information in less than a day. Are they really ordinary disciples of Cang Xuan Sect?

Chen Zhuo noticed his suspicious look, but didn't care.

He is just a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. Killing him is a piece of cake.

But killing Xiao Huairang at this time would scare Rong Jin.

Chen Zhuo looked at Rong Jin for a long time and decided to give up killing Xiao Huairang for the time being.

After all, killing Xiao Huairang is a small matter, but scaring Rong Jin would be a big deal.
