One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 108: Chapter 85: Mortal Body, Defying the Gods

The plot was written like this.

“Ye Bingtong looked at Gu Yan with moist eyes, appearing as if she were still that innocent and lovely girl from the past.

Gu Yan initially wanted to scold her.

But when Ye Bingtong handed him the water, she accidentally revealed her sleeve. Gu Yan just so happened to see a bruise on her arm.

After all, she was a woman his brother had once liked. Gu Yan frowned and asked, “What happened here?”

“I…” Ye Bingtong stopped mid-sentence, her eyes instantly reddening: “Gu Brother, I now really regret it. I let Gu Cheng down, he actually is the best person in the world. I owe him a face-to-face apology.”

Gu Yan said coldly, “You’ve already hurt him, you should stay away from him.”

Ye Bingtong lowered her head: “I know. I’m no longer worthy of Gu Cheng, I’m just a bit worried about him, wondering if he’s alright now. I really just… want to apologize to him in person.”

Gu Yan’s tone was still indifferent: “Sorry. There’s no need for that.”

“Gu Brother, doesn’t someone who has made a mistake, even if they truly repent, deserve a second chance?” Ye Bingtong, with tears in her eyes, picked up the basketball on the ground: “I’ve never played basketball before, let’s make a bet. If I can throw this basketball into the basket with my eyes closed, you’ll let me see Gu Cheng. If I fail, I’ll stop bothering you.”

Gu Yan frowned, not wanting to be bothered by Ye Bingtong any longer, and thinking it was an impossible task, he agreed to it.”

Ye Xiao quickly scanned the storyline.

What came next in the story was predictable.

The heroine’s halo activated once again.

Ye Bingtong closed her eyes and actually scored a three-pointer.

Gu Yan was forced to agree to take her to see Gu Cheng.

Ye Xiao clenched her teeth.

What kind of crappy storyline is this!

Everyone was watching from the sides, with nobody entering the court to interfere.

Yet Ye Bingtong could just walk over so openly and legitimately.

With Gu Yan’s original character, he’d likely not listen to a word she said and would have someone drag Ye Bingtong away immediately.

In this storyline, although Gu Yan still appeared indifferent, he actually spoke so much nonsense with Ye Bingtong!

And in the end, he would inexplicably agree to such a bet?

If this isn’t sick, what is!

This book must be out of tricks.

The plot has changed too much; there’s no reasonable way to bring it back on track, so it resorts to these forceful methods!

Fortunately.

She still had eight characters left!

This time, where should she modify?

Should she simply make Gu Yan not speak to her at all, or should she have security come over?

Wouldn’t that be using too many characters?

It’s possible that all eight characters would be used up in one go.

Ye Xiao now had a premonition.

As the book featuring La Jingzhou and Bai Shilan took a complete nosedive.

The other books seem a bit crazy now.

These books will try everything to pull the story back on track.

Which means, from now on, the key scenes that can only be fixed with the use of characters are likely to increase.

She must save as many characters as possible, the more, the better.

That way, she can continue to have control over her destiny.

In a split second.

Ye Xiao saw something.

She immediately changed one character.

With this change, she should be able to alter this piece of the story directly.

But Ye Xiao still isn’t very reassured, looking nervously towards the court.

On the basketball court.

Ye Bingtong was handing over the water, then inadvertently revealing the bruise on her arm.

According to the plot.

Gu Yan was to inquire.

The key plot point is irreversible; even if Gu Yan didn’t want to, he would naturally follow the storyline.

Ye Xiao was waiting for Gu Yan to say the sentence from the storyline.

On the field.

Gu Yan pursed his lips, his face turning completely ashen.

Just that instant!

He was about to call the guards to drag Ye Bingtong away.

But then.

It was as if he was being controlled, his gaze involuntarily turned towards the wound on Ye Bingtong’s hand.

Moreover, there was a strong force driving him to ask about it.

This feeling!

It’s too familiar!

This feeling of being manipulated, he had experienced it for thousands and thousands of lives!

All those clumsy schemes, those shallow lies, he could see through them and yet he was controlled by some mysterious force, making moves he couldn’t even imagine himself doing.

That controlling sensation, and the one he felt now, were exactly the same.

A glint of cold light flashed in Gu Yan’s eyes.

This life.

They still want to control him with such power?

No!

Never!

He had already taken control of his destiny, he wouldn’t let anyone manipulate him ever again, not even by a fraction!

Not even an insignificant sentence was allowed!

If they could control a single sentence he said today, tomorrow they could control his actions and once again dominate his destiny.

He was unwilling.

Utterly unwilling.

Gu Yan forcefully suppressed the words that were about to escape his lips.

He clenched his teeth tightly, refusing to open his mouth.

He had said it, nobody would manipulate him!

Ye Xiao suddenly stood up.

She looked at Gu Yan with some disbelief.

This was a critical plot point.

In the critical plot, apart from changing a word, nobody could alter anything.

Everyone would follow the original trajectory.

Gu Yan should have spoken. He should have asked that question.

But.

He didn’t say it.

Standing there, he clenched his fists tightly as if he were fighting against some mysterious and unfathomable power.

His fists were clenched so tightly!

As if he wanted to crush all constraints into dust!

To prevent himself from speaking, he bit his own lip.

He bit so hard.

From Ye Xiao’s angle, she could even see blood flowing down.

Gu Yan had actually bitten through his own lip!

Ye Xiao found it hard to describe her feelings.

Gu Yan was a mortal.

And he was also a character in a book.

Yet at this moment.

He was using his mortal body to resist the gods.

Ye Xiao’s heart trembled for some unknown reason.

Gu Yan…

One minute, two minutes.

Gu Yan would rather bite his lips until they were stained with blood than utter a single word.

The people around him were controlled by the story, seemingly unaware of anything amiss, still watching the two talk.

Ye Bingtong also seemed not to notice Gu Yan’s silence, continuing with the plot and her dialogue, “… I owe him an apology in person.”

Gu Yan pursed his lips and remained silent.

The traces of blood, grew more numerous.

Ye Xiao felt a little distressed.

[Speak! You don’t need to control yourself! It’s alright! I’ve already &*…&…7]

The rest of the inner voice was replaced by garbled text.

What Ye Xiao wanted to say was.

She had already modified the subsequent text! It didn’t matter if Gu Yan followed the plot.

In the end, Ye Bingtong would not succeed.

He didn’t need… he didn’t need to be so stubborn…

Gu Yan seemed to sense something.

He suddenly looked up and then, with difficulty, turned to Ye Xiao, showing a weak smile!

He didn’t know what that string of garbled text was.

He guessed it was probably some way Ye Xiao had to change the plot.

But.

He had said.

He would protect Ye Xiao!

If he couldn’t even rid himself of this amount of plot manipulation,

What was the point of this brand-new life?

If he said he wouldn’t be controlled, then he wouldn’t be controlled.

No matter how trivial the manipulation, it was not permitted.

If he conceded this time, he would concede a second time, and a third.

He, Gu Yan, would still be that helpless person.

Even though Xiaoxiao had already brought about change.

He must not! Become a plaything of the plot again!
