Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 150: Chapter 114 Farewell, Senior Brother [5K]_3

The atmosphere in the study was somewhat silent.

Only the sound of Yu Ying sipping hot water from her teacup remained, even though she had spoken of the past in as relaxed a tone as possible, he now understood why Yu Ying was so keen on probing into others’ hearts.

At the very least, she had to ensure that the people she sent to the sect must not harbor any ulterior motives, nor could they be spies planted by other sects.

"Did Purple Cloud Palace just let this matter slide?"

The young man suddenly spoke, pushing the paper in his hands forward, and the beautiful woman naturally took it, smiling indifferently at the medicinal herbs listed on the paper.

"Of course they didn’t let it go, but at that time all the reputable sects of Jiuzhou were present; if we made a scene then, not to mention being a laughing stock, even the mighty Purple Cloud Palace couldn’t possibly oppose the entire Cultivation World."

"Moreover, it was universally accepted before the martial meeting that no one could intervene regardless of what happened, or else they would be attacked by the group."

"This time, Purple Cloud Palace indeed suffered a loss, but we also benefit from using the rules occasionally, don’t we? Purple Cloud Palace has always been magnanimous, convincing others with reason..."

"Hmph, ten years ago Master Liu happened upon an elder of Xuanyin Sect and that traitorous disciple in Tianquan, and conveniently beheaded the young elder and left the betrayer with only one hand, though unfortunately, he still escaped."

His lips twitched.

Such magnanimity, such reason.

"You are a disciple of Heavenly Power Peak, right?"

"Huh?"

With a raised eyebrow, she didn’t expect Jiang Feng to guess this, but she didn’t answer, merely quietly waiting for the young man to continue.

"East Continent borders my Qingshui County directly to the south, and even so, they only assigned two at the Core Formation Stage to guard the gates, and one at Nascent Soul Stage to oversee the State City, and this arrangement has completely sufficed."

"In the more than ten years I have lived in Qingshui County, there hasn’t been any trouble they couldn’t handle; I even casually inquired Manager Xu about the cultivators in Shuangfeng City, nearly ninety percent are below Core Formation Stage, and even those in Core Formation Stage could almost be named."

"I guess there are just a few... perhaps a hundred or so Core Formation Stage experts, and although I don’t know your realm, the way you dare to get out of bed and go out..."

"Even if it’s Nascent Soul, it must be among the top of that kind."

"How could guarding a gate possibly need someone of your high caliber? Isn’t it better to keep you at the sect? The only possibility is that you were ostracized, and you chose to come to this desolate place yourself."

But now he understood why his senior sister felt comfortable entrusting him to Yu Ying, and why Yu Ying, despite being unstable on her feet, still came out to protect him.

Aside from the ties of their sect, it must be because his senior sister killed the Xuanyin Sect elder and left the betrayer with one arm, earning Yu Ying’s profound respect for his senior sister, which in a way, avenged both her and the entire sect.

His lips curved slightly upwards, neither admitting nor denying, just resuming his previous smiling demeanor as he carefully looked through the prescription in his hand; even though she was not versed in medicine, she could still tell the nature of the drugs at a glance.

However.

"Those in cultivation, if they can’t even bear this little suffering, how can they..."

"Stop your hands from shaking before you say that."

A single sentence made Yu Ying’s smile freeze.

Already weak, and coincidentally having her menstrual period these past few days, she was in agony even lying in bed, both soul and body tormented.

So she obediently folded the paper.

"Didn’t expect the senior brother to know medical arts, I’ll keep this prescription for now, if it doesn’t work..."

Still smiling, she looked at Jiang Feng.

Someone suddenly felt a great pressure; although they hadn’t been in contact for long, he had thoroughly figured out this crazy woman’s character, wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"Let me make it clear, this prescription I’ve given you is what I used to prescribe for my fiancée... my ex-wife, who always suffered terribly during these times; it’s pain relief medicine, which may not cure the root cause, but will definitely alleviate the symptoms."

"Didn’t expect senior brother to have such a rich romantic history at such a young age, truly a role model for us all, married at seventeen... and divorced?"

Her eyes blinked; had someone else heard this they might think Yu Ying was making a sarcastic remark.

But Jiang Feng wouldn’t feel that way.

Why?

Because sitting in front of him was an old maid, or perhaps it’s that those in the Cultivation World generally move slower, most people only consider finding a partner after they have no more room for improvement; quite clearly, Yu Ying hadn’t reached that stage yet.

"No, it was a bereavement."

Showing a row of white teeth, but Yu Ying didn’t really believe it, given her character she naturally cared more about another matter.

"From senior brother’s tone, could it be you have a way to completely cure it? Honestly, I suffer greatly each month, at least three days, at most five, it definitely affects my cultivation, it would be great if you could eradicate it."

She sighed, indeed unaware that Jiang Feng knew a bit of medical arts; most of the elixirs in her possession aimed at enhancing strength, none were for pain relief, and she still suffered immensely when it was time.

But Jiang Feng’s lips twitched, then he forcibly held it in.

The beautiful woman found it strange; clearly, he had something to say, so with a blink, her eyes turned crimson again.

"Hmm? Senior brother, do you have a method to cure the disease with one dose lasting ten months?"

Her eyes lit up.

But someone else’s sweat flowed more, trying his best to clear his mind of any distractions, but still a step too late because that prescription had subconsciously appeared in his mind.

"..."

He keenly noticed the teacup in the beautiful woman’s hands had developed cracks but hadn’t shattered.

"I told you not to peek randomly when there’s nothing wrong."

He murmured softly, seeing that something was off with the beautiful woman in front of him, Jiang immediately got up.

"Since there’s still strangeness around He Family Village, I might as well set off, can’t let those thieves continue their wrongdoing, farewell!"

He immediately planned to slip away, but just as Jiang Feng was about to leave, Yu Ying suddenly extended her hand, and in an instant, Jiang Feng’s two Qiankun bags appeared directly,without any warning, in her hands!

He was just about to speak when he felt a surge in his soul, and everything before his eyes blurred.

The two Qiankun bags were tossed back to him.

"Safe travels, senior brother."
