Ye Lingran transmigrates into a xianxia novel as the villainous master, and is bound to the "Villain Dialogue System." He has to humiliate the male lead just as in the original story.
What he doesn't know is that everyone in the sect can hear not only what he says out loud, but also the real lines deleted by the System.
At the sect's recruitment ceremony.
Ye Lingran: "A piece of trash like you thinks you're worthy of becoming my disciple?"
Deleted draft from the System: "Pick me! I'll provide your meals, and you can have all my treasures, too."
Everyone else: "..."
So, do you want him or not?
Later on,
Immortal Lord Ye gives a thunderous little huff. "How can you be so useless? You are to meditate facing the wall for three months, and you may not leave the mountain!"
Ren Weining: "Yes, Master."
Eldest Senior Brother: "Three days should be enough."
Fifth Senior Brother: "One day will do. I still need someone to taste-test my dishes."
Ye Lingran: "..."
Am I the only one acting here?
A master who's falsely aloof, but actually a goofy chatterbox
