《Killing Cockroaches In Xianxia For Self-Preservation》8. ’Talent’, Plans

(Bu Cai POV)
A man that looks like he is in his late thirties approaches us with a huge smile on his face with a child that looks around my age.
He has black hair, piercing brown eyes and and a lean yet muscular physique, he is slightly taller than my father and is very handsome. The child has similar features, such as brown eyes, black hair and an otherwise very cute face (Basically a child variant).
I say otherwise due to one factor.
He bears an expression of immense arrogance and looks like a stuck up piece of shit.
In a few years I'm sure by simply seeing him with that expression, it would completely piss someone off (including me).
However since he is still young it actually looks quite comical, and I had to hold back from laughing as the contrast between his immature face and the shit eating grin he had was fucking hilarious.
My father already started walking towards him with my mother in tow, they cupped their fists respectfully and said,
"Greetings Sect Master"
Although I was mainly trying not to laugh, after hearing that I also done the same and introduced myself to him,
"Greetings Sect Master, this young one's name is Bu Cai. It is an honor to meet you."
He then said,
"No need for the tedious courtesies Brother Bu and Sister Lu. You are both friends who i have known for a long time and such formality makes me feel awkward."
Both of them then loosened up and my father gave a big laugh and said,
"Hahahah of course i know that, it's just that some formality is needed so that we make sure we are formal during public meetings. But I, Bu De, know that you dislike such things between close relatives."
He laughed then turned to me with a smile and said,
"There is also need for you to act so rigidly as well as you are the son of two people I treat as siblings, so naturally you are like my Nephew. In private you can call me Uncle Chang."
I responded,
"I understand, Uncle Chang."

Immediately after that, the cliche young master approaches us and cups his fists.
Then he introduces himself and greets us (In that order),
"My name is Chang Wu and It is a pleasure seeing you both, elder Bu and elder Lu. I have heard from my father that you are both good friends of his and renowned experts therefore I admire you both and hope you can treat me well!"
Did that fucking bastard just...
"*Cough* *Cough* Wu'er, you've done your introduction the wrong way around and forgotten to greet your soon to be 'friend'" Says Uncle Chang
Seemingly noticing his mistake he quickly apologises to my mother and father with a remorseful face and turns to me and says with his shit eating grin,
"I apologise for forgetting to greet Brother Bu, please forgive my irresponsibility in this matter and I'll try to improve for next time."
All the adults thinking it's a small mistake and brush it off.
However I know.
That little SHIT just ignored MY ass and then give a SHITTY apology by saying he'll 'Try'!
If I don't make that arrogant little fuck beg for forgiveness, Where would my face go?
...Hold up.
Did I just say a common young master line?
Seems like my inner Young Master emerged for a second due to this fuckers arrogance.
Wait... now that i think about it? This guy is really good at his role!
Since I know this guy is your average small time villain in the plot hating him for how he was made is quite hypocritical, since that was what people did to me!
After thinking about it this way, I actually feel a little sorry for him.
I gave him a smile and said back,
"No problem Brother Chang! It's great to meet you too, I hope we can be good friends!"
Afterwards the sect master suggested that me and Chang Wu go around the sect to play and look around whilst the adults catch up.
We both agreed and said goodbye to our parents, then left with a servant who had the responsibility of guiding us around.
Before leaving I made sure to use [Analyse] on the sect master and this was the result,

===============================================
{Analyse}
[Name: Chang Xu]
[Age: 132 years old]
[Not Strong Enough To Analyse Any More]
===========================================
Seeing this, I wasn't too surprised as he should be the strongest in the sect.
Although it is a subsidiary sect, it is by no means weak and therefore the higher ups have to be powerful.
Hence my mortal cultivation base should barely allow me to be able to find anything on such a mighty figure.
I was pleasantly surprised that it actually gave me his age and full name, as I was expecting it to slap me with an error.
While walking and trying to talk to arroga... Brother Wu who was consistently replying with a 'Hmph' before every sentence.
He also dropped all the politeness he had in front of the adults, and started talking like the rude little prick he is.
Although I expected this I, myself, was surprised by his skillfulness in arrogance and couldn't help but get curious and [Analyse] him as well.
This time I had some expectations, as he also was a mortal therefore it should be quite a fruitful search.
And although he isn't much in the 'plot' he does single handedly cause the downfall of the Sky and Spirit Sword Sect. Although indirectly.
============================================
{Analyse}
[Name: Chang Wu]
[Age: 5]
[Cultivation: Mortal]
[Skills: (Arrogance-Proficient), (Martial Arts-Advanced), (Speech-Intermediate)]
[Inherent Talent: Arrogance(Young Master variation)]
[Background Story]
Chang Wu is a fated small villain in 'Long Tian's' Plot.
He grew up motherless as she had died from childbirth and his is father had spoiled him to fill the void that his dead wife had left.
He grew up lonely and everyone praised him and complemented him all the time because of his status.
Due to this he has grown incredibly arrogant and proud, especially after hearing from his father that he was a genuine talent in martial arts. This simple compliment caused his pride and arrogance to reach the heavens and now he sees almost everyone beneath him.
[Importance in Plot: F]
=============================================
After seeing his profile, Bu Cai couldn't help but think it was apt that he had an [Inherent Talent] in arrogance as Bu Cai has never seen such an arrogant 5 year old. Even considering both his lives.
They were walking around the inner courtyard which had quite a large number of inner disciples bustling about.
These inner disciples were doing various things...
Either they were talking to each other about recent news in the sect or cultivation world.
Some were rushing to buy equipment from the weapon refinement hall.
Others went to the sect missions hall to turn in completed missions or take one for contribution points.
Contribution points can be used for buying things useful for cultivation in the sect including, cultivation techniques, mystical techniques or spirit herbs, etc.
Just doing usual Inner disciple stuff.
As they were walking Bu Cai had gotten a great idea for a problem that he has been thinking about for a while...
The safety of his parents and sect.
This idea consisted of trying curb Chang Wu's arrogance and not allow him to cause the destruction of the sect.
This 'cowardly' tactic came to him, as although Bu Cai has not given up on killing Long Tian; He knows it is very unrealistic.
And instead wants to at least allow his parents and sect to survive.
To do this he has thought of getting the sect to somehow do Long Tian a favour to then stop him from exterminating the sect. However Bu Cai realised that it would probably not work due to the plot or will get exterminated later on after he is forced to leave the universe.
Hence now he came up with a new idea...
Fix the root of the issue!
Essentially, it is an easy and effective plan; just prevent Chang Wu from lusting after that one mysterious jade beauty.
Then Long Tian will not bother the sect too much after I leave (Hopefully) as Chang Wu wouldn't have tried to steal one Long Tian's many Jade Beauties.
As the famous saying goes 'Don't fuck with the harem, and everything will be fine'.
As long as we don't piss her off we will be just fine.
...Right?

End's End
Crow Tempora is an optimistic country bumpkin who knows very little of life in the heart of the world's cities, however behind his easy smile is a stony determination to achieve his goal of accomplishing the impossible- one that he can only reach by winning the Sieve, the largest competition of young Mystics the world has ever seen. Famous across the entire world and loved almost as widely, Gemini Menza has never known a single day of anonymity in her short life. Like most magical prodigies she has spent her years on guard against powerful Immortals attempting to use her as a tool, unlike most she is uniquely gifted and burdened with the position of being the single most magically prodigious individual of her generation- perhaps throughout all of history. Entering the Sieve not to work for victory, but to collect it as a boring chore, she soon finds herself shocked by the difficulty of her tasks, both inside the contest and out. After all, she was also given the privilege of joining at a younger age than anyone else. Machiavellian manipulator Unity Eden is growing tired of the tasks forced onto him by those who control him, unfortunately he also happens to be controlled by the leaders of the largest empire the world has ever seen. While he has little hope of wriggling his way out of it, he intends to make his entry into the Sieve as damaging to them as he can. While most are fixated on the events of the Sieve's stages, intently watching the young and talented as they go head to head to find out who holds the title of strongest, Karma Alabaster has her eyes on the powers behind the curtains- the endless machinations of the Immortals and their servants. Caught between enough crisscrossing schemes to form a spiderweb, she must use every ounce of her not inconsiderable mind to keep herself from playing into another's hands... all while solving a mysterious and seemingly impossible murder. The winds of change are blowing in Bermuda, and only one person will shape them. Cover art by: Nova @no_no_nova on tiktok @no_no_no_nova on ig THREE NEW CHAPTERS POSTED EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

Villain: The Play of Destiny
Keith, a vieux riche, spoiled and cherished, heir to the Demiliore Consortium, lives his life at large. Power, Wealth, Fame; He has it all. But is it all just a dream? With a set of memories, the knowledge of the future, in a play orchestrated by the destiny, knowing well that he is born to be a Villain, will he prevail? Or is he going to fall at the hands of the Child of Destiny just like he did in the nightmare that haunts him? Author's Note: Yes, the story is heavily influenced by Urban-Fantasy Chinese Novels. Don't read if you have a problem with those types of plots. 'Cliche' plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are the ardent believer of 'Good shall prevail over the Evil'. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either. I don't write Netorare. Don't worry about it! Warnings: > Dark Elements > Sexual Content> Traumatising Content> Gore> Manipulative MC> Parallel World (Almost a new World)> Fantasy Elements (Full-fledged Fantasy later)> System> Slavery > Contains themes that are viewed as Taboo in our world, but not in the world this story is based in.
