Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 183: Chapter 131 Are You Really a Disciple of the Sword Immortal?

"...I knew nothing good would come out from a thug like you!"

A spoiler of the atmosphere.

Faced with the candid girl, Jiang Feng retorted with this line.

In Cen Yueyue’s eyes, Jiang Feng handing over these hard-won spoils of war was an act of true loyalty and generosity.

But in his own view, it was merely a matter of survival.

Let’s not forget Cen Yueyue’s identity. Even if it was unlikely that she would attack him over these trinkets, he still had to avoid all risks.

He was lucky to encounter such a reasonable and well-raised lady. What if she wasn’t so well-mannered?

Suspecting that I took Hou Zhongxiao’s Qiankun Bag to steal family secrets, could I explain it clearly?

Including the book containing the Xu Huoyao, is this thing useful? Is it powerful enough? Could it cause a biohazard by itself, does he think Jiang wouldn’t be tempted?

He was just more sober, knowing what he could take and what he couldn’t.

"I have no use for these things, better you take them back to settle your affairs. Speaking of which, what are your plans afterwards?"

Effortlessly glossing over the topic, Cen Yueyue stroked her temple hair and pondered briefly before coming up with an answer.

"Continue heading south, wait for Zhuang Zhuang once inside the Southern Border as he can sense my location through the Gu Worm. Then my brother and I need to go home, not only to bring the news of Hou Zhongxiao’s death but also to find out what exactly is happening at the border."

"If it turns into a war, our Cen Family Village will inevitably be criticized again. Even if we’re disowned by our family, after all, it’s the people from our home, father will probably be upset."

"Honestly, there are so many cultivators in Central Plains, each claiming to be righteous, vanquishing demons for the sake of the world."

"Yet, look at them, using Hou Zhongxiao to spread Gu Poison extensively, causing so many civilians to suffer, and for what? Just to have a justified reason for their factions to start a war."

"Sigh..."

Her expression was somewhat downcast.

From the perspective of a daughter of a top-notch family, she wouldn’t see anything wrong with that, deeming slight sacrifices inevitable to pressure enemy factions—this is what she heard most often at home.

Being a holder of authority, she believed there should be no place for pointless compassion, with all actions prioritizing family interests.

But.

From the standpoint of a cultivator, she found such conduct fundamentally misguided.

Despite being insulted, regarded with hostility, and even physically attacked by these civilians, Cen Yueyue never once retaliated.

It was Jiang Feng who cleaned up after her, or rather, got his hands tainted with blood he shouldn’t have. Before she could even finish sighing, Jiang Feng suddenly retorted.

"Look who’s talking. You don’t think the Southern Border is spotless, do you?"

"What?"

She glanced at him, by now Hou Zhongxiao’s spirit had naturally been taken by Jiang Feng, all flowing into his brain.

Although he didn’t find much useful information there, he vaguely guessed something.

"First of all, how did he get here in the first place? Clearly he stole family secrets, yet he wasn’t imprisoned or monitored, but expelled instead? Don’t you find that strange, letting a traitor roam the world with Southern Border secret techniques?"

"Secondly, there are so many places to run in the southeast, northwest, why come specifically to the north, settling in a place with the greatest hostility towards Southern Border people?"

"His identity is also just too fitting, being a renegade disowned by two families. Don’t you find this identity very delicate?"

"Even if the Central Plains Faction uses this incident to blame, they can’t really pin the responsibility on these two families since disownment is an established fact, and moreover, this traitor has died by your hands."

"Whoever brings up this matter can be countered by either side, both having ample reasons. You also mentioned it, expulsion and disownment were even proposed by your Great Clan Chief as peaceful solutions."

"You can think it’s a coincidence, or you can think I’m conspiracy theorizing, but to put it bluntly, it’s a case of ’if you’re willing to hit, someone’s willing to endure.’"

Cen Yueyue suddenly fell silent.

Looking at Jiang Feng, her gaze was almost like looking at a monster, and after a long silence, she finally spoke slowly.

"Your age and your inner self seem completely mismatched."

"That’s a compliment."

He shook his head.

The spiritual energy in his body had mostly recovered, and not knowing whether it was because he had been traveling wildly and using up spiritual energy daily, he felt like he had become even more solid.

Upon internal viewing of his Dantian, he saw more and denser hair-like strands floating, almost looking like they could condense into liquid at any moment. Was he at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, or maybe eight and a half?

"Since you’re going back to Southern Border, I might as well return to Shuangfeng City. Honestly, being out for so many days, I’ve used up almost all my supplies, and if I don’t restock soon, I’m afraid I’ll starve in the wilderness."

"With your skills, where would you starve? Speaking of which, you..."

Her eyes shifted.

By the tone of Jiang Feng, it was clear he intended to leave.

The two were merely strangers who had met by accident and traveled together due to some misunderstandings, and it seemed they might never see each other again.

"You probably haven’t officially joined Purple Cloud Palace yet, right? I see you don’t carry Purple Cloud Palace’s waist card or the sect emblem."

Pretending to gaze into the distance, but with the sky already darkened, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t see anything.
