Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 103: Chapter 96: Senior Sister Liu’s Curiosity_2

"I’m not even your disciple yet, and I haven’t formally become one yet!"

"It doesn’t matter whether you consider yourself one or not, I say you are, and from now on, you are the thirty-ninth generation disciple of Purple Cloud Palace’s Swordmaster Peak, and also a second-generation disciple within the current Purple Cloud Palace."

"No! Didn’t you previously tell me to get lost, expressing concern that I might endanger the sect which is why you wouldn’t take me as a disciple..."

"That was just a joke, otherwise why would I descend the mountain and spend years finding a disciple only to return empty-handed? I need someone to come up the mountain and help with the gates."

"That still doesn’t justify conscripting able-bodied men; a melon forcibly twisted off its vine is not sweet."

"But at least it can be eaten."

Strong and domineering, leaving no room for refusal, this drastic change caught Jiang Feng off-guard, but being a clever man, he quickly thought of something.

"Could it be that besides my identity from a previous life, her factors were also reasons you initially refused to accept me as a disciple?"

"Smart."

Seemingly surprised by Jiang Feng’s line of thinking, this immortal showed a rare approving smile on her face, slowly explaining as she led the young man toward the house.

Her tone even quite serious.

"I had already figured out the situation between you two six months ago, but never called it out, not because I have a sadistic sense of humor, but because I wanted to see what exactly Demon Night True Monarch was planning."

"The various tactics of Demon Night have already been made clear. I was wondering before, what if someone discovered his reincarnation and decided to kill him at any cost?"

"But now it seems, even this step has been completely anticipated by him."

"He figured out that after we discovered you and Yan Yurou, we would be reluctant to take your lives, regarding the two of you as husband and wife..."

Coughing suddenly, he directly interrupted Liu Tangxi’s words.

"Well, I am currently unmarried, or you could say I am divorced or a widower, thank you."

"..."

See, this is the kind of minor mistake one makes when they don’t understand feelings.

Shaking her head helplessly, just moments ago he seemed like he could barely fend for himself, but now he seemed in the mood to joke around with her, which was also good.

"With both of your talents and gifts, any major power that discovers you would definitely try to take you as disciples to strengthen their own sect’s power, especially since your souls have not been possessed."

"In doing so, the Spiritual Energy within both your Dantians is an endless treasure, that’s nearly a thousand years of a Demon Lord’s cultivation. Although Lan Tianyong controlled your body during that battle, your consciousness should have still been present."

"You can imagine how terrifying such power is, and in the future, as your Divine Soul and body gradually grow stronger, you’ll be able to slowly adapt to this power... Let’s leave that for later."

"Lan Tianyong was not only interested in your wife... fiancée, but in both of you. He actually didn’t want to kill you, but upon realizing that you used the swordsmanship and foundational cultivation techniques of Purple Cloud Palace, he knew he came too late."

"Hence, he only targeted Yan Yurou, planning to kill you so as to silence you. After all, Taixu and Purple Cloud have been at odds for many years, with deep-seated grudges; removing you, an unstable element, he naturally wouldn’t hesitate."

Nodding his head, Jiang Feng’s thoughts also gradually became clearer. Walking over the unfamiliar rooftop, the young man suddenly thought of a question.

"What if Demon Night True Monarch had forcibly possessed my body at my birth, and started cultivating from then on? Wouldn’t his plans have succeeded within these ten plus years?"

"If that were the case, he would have been completely dead a long time ago."

This simple statement brought the young man back to reality.

Just as the two arrived home, they appeared in the familiar hall with a flash, though it was completely dark, he could still see Liu Tangxi’s sharp gaze.

"If he truly succeeded in the possession, even if it was just a fragment of his soul, I would have decisively turned this body into mincemeat without hesitation, ensuring his Divine Soul was utterly destroyed."

"Don’t you understand yet."

"He never intended to possess you in your childhood, he might not have even considered possession at all. No matter how appearances change, the soul and Spiritual Energy don’t change, there are too many in the world who keep tabs on him, any attempted possession would surely expose his whereabouts, leading to his premature death from being surrounded and attacked."

"Not possessing allows him not to reveal his whereabouts and to peacefully cultivate and nurture his remaining soul fragment within you, free from external disturbances."

"You know why I told you three months ago when I left that Demon Night True Monarch had set a trap here, even I cannot break it, because this trap utilizes human greed, a scheme using the interests of the great sects."

"Even I fell prey to his scheme."

The realization dawned.

Liu Tangxi’s complex expression proved everything, he understood it wasn’t that Liu Xianzi didn’t want to take him as a disciple, but that her thoughts also battled within her, considering whether to break this scheme to prevent Demon Night from having his way.

Under Liu Tangxi’s explanation, he finally realized what kind of complex trap Demon Night True Monarch had set within the small Qingshui County.

Every step meticulously calculated, foreseeing a possible assault that could cause his death, preserving energy and fragments of his soul to insert into Yan Yurou’s grandfather’s body, then crafting an informational cocoon room using a word curse.

Waiting until his own birth, gradually maturing his body, transferring the soul and cultivation bit by bit, but only transferring half, Jiang Feng even felt the Demon Lord deliberately left half.

If an accident indeed occurred to him, then he would only lose half his cultivation and then continue transferring his remaining soul fragment into Yan Yurou’s body to reside and wait to grow.

Setting the engagement, allowing himself to use Yan Yurou as a cultivation furnace to advance faster, possessing a stronger body to accommodate his remaining soul fragment, he even predicted that he would surely be discovered by the Cultivation World, and those who discovered him would definitely be renowned experts of the Cultivation World.
