Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 104: Chapter 96: Senior Sister Liu’s Curiosity_3

Because others simply could not see any clues, only someone of Liu Tangxi’s realm could completely see through him.

His body trembled slightly.

For a moment, he felt a chill run through him, his limp body breaking out in cold sweat, his hands and feet icy, and he felt as though a pair of eyes were always watching him from above, with an indifferent expression, holding a black go piece, leisurely and content.

All these happenings, the ingenious arrangements of over a decade, were all his doing in life, and even after his death, the plans were still operating as he had envisioned to this day.

"Is he really human?"

"Not really, as you’ve seen in your Dantian, that is a remnant of his soul, no longer in human form, what he pursued, perhaps, was ascension."

His expression was somewhat numb.

Very decisively, she continued to carry the young man like a chick to the second floor, with a snap of her fingers, candles in the room were lit, and Liu Tangxi was not unfamiliar with this place, having gotten quite acquainted with Jiang Feng’s home over such a long time.

"If the matter concerning the Yan Family is not cleanly resolved, I do not believe you would willingly leave Qingshui County, unable to focus on cultivation with persistent thoughts in your heart."

"Having waited for such a long time, it was also to see you and your spouse come to a closure, and now it seems, though no one is hurt, the heart’s troubles are over."

"From now on, as long as you two part ways, the Yan Family will not need to consider your matters, even if you are under the influence of a word curse, it will ultimately be much easier, at least you can live in peace in Qingshui County."

Looking at the somewhat wooden expression on the young man’s face, Liu Tangxi furrowed her brows, but she did not speak out to blame him, for she could very well understand Jiang Feng’s feelings.

From birth to death, to be completely manipulated by a stranger one has never met, controlling one’s life, such a blow would cause anyone to collapse, let alone him.

"You haven’t answered my previous question, be honest, what are you truly feeling in your heart, do you dare to believe in love again in the future?"

She very straightforwardly brought the conversation back.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but he seemed to detect a hint of slyness in Liu Tangxi’s expression, gossipping is an innate instinct carved into a woman’s bones, especially when it comes to romantic matters.

He sighed.

Liu Xianzi was a very typical calm personality, solid and focused, with clear goals, proficient in thinking and practice, such people usually pay great attention to details, meticulous in everything they do.

Her sudden question now, he could only think of one reason, which was that she wanted to soothe his emotions, yet he did not conceal anything, honestly saying.

"A bit heartbroken and angry I guess, after all the narrow escapes from death and never doubting her, I thought I was lucky enough to live a safe and fulfilling life, but in the end..."

A bitter smile.

"But you still pulled your punches, Yan Yurou held back quite a lot, but it couldn’t compare to you, these walls of things, initially must have been prepared for the people of the Fan Yin Sect, right?"

Her eyebrows raised.

Liu Xianzi pointed at the neat row of unremarkable metal tubes on the room’s bookshelf, crude in texture but each of an exceptionally strange shape, and they even had lamp wicks attached to them.

At this, the young man, whose mood was not great, revealed a smile, a proud and complacent one.

"Using this thing to bully women is indeed a bit too much, I would much rather rely on my own strength to surpass her, this is..."

"The pathetic and laughable pride of a man."

As if knowing that Jiang Feng would say this, even Liu Xianzi couldn’t help but shake her head; she really got along with this kid.

"Do you think I shouldn’t have been merciful?"

"No, I don’t think either of you is right or wrong, just different standpoints. Whether or not to be soft-hearted or not is not my concern, if Yan Yurou truly achieves something in the future, she will only seek you out, not me. If she really does come to me, I’ll directly reveal your whereabouts to her."

"I’ll be damned..."

He now truly understood how that old man felt, and worse still, the fairy had just given another heavyweight statement.

"You’re panicking."

Three words completely shattered his mental defense!

His vision darkened, right now Jiang Feng was completely limp, looking half dead; he fully believed that if he continued to chat with the fairy for a while longer, he would be literally angered to death.

She had quietly followed him for half a year, didn’t learn anything else, but thoroughly picked up his bad habit of being sassy.

Blinking, no matter how long she spent with Jiang Feng, she always found the young man in front of her interesting, seeing that his mood wasn’t as bad as at the start, she chose to bring up a serious topic.

"Speaking of which, forcibly taking an apprentice is indeed somewhat inappropriate, so let’s just go through the motions, do you still remember what your original purpose for cultivation was?"

He was stunned.

A few months ago, he had only sought to protect his life and overcome social class, to make himself as worthy as possible of his fiancee, so he had chosen to plead with Liu Tangxi to take him up the mountain for cultivation.

But what was his reason for cultivation now?

For a moment, he couldn’t help but feel lost, but soon his gaze met with Liu Xianzi’s in front of him, looking at this Liu Tangxi who he used to mockingly call an "old woman".

"Of course, I remember."

"Your grievances with the Yan Family are resolved, put this matter completely behind you, with my protection, you are assured a safe life, or you could continue your pursuit of cultivation, but as the enemies of Demon Night True Monarch are innumerable, should your identity be revealed, or should you catch the eye of those with ulterior motives, you could lose your life at any moment."
