Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 276: Chapter 188: Resuming Past Professions, Never Forget the Original Intention_2

At least when he soaked in the brothel every day to cultivate, he hadn’t done anything unjust towards Yan Yurou. Even before he began walking the path of cultivation, he was this respectful, not to mention now...

"No, wait."

"My betrothal has been annulled, I’m freaking a free bachelor, right?"

"If I’m a bachelor, even if something did happen, it wouldn’t be an issue morally... What am I even thinking about!"

"She’s treated me so well, cared for me as if I were her own little brother. If it wasn’t for Sister Su Yi and Sister Lu Luo protecting me from calamities, I’d probably be dead ten times over. How could I think of her improperly."

"But if she were to throw herself at me, that wouldn’t be... Pah!"

He dared not turn his head.

The beautiful woman seemed to notice the boy’s nervousness. She also sat cross-legged in the tub, which was quite spacious, easily accommodating two people. She focused her energy, placing her hands on the boy’s broad and sturdy back.

"The change is quite significant, in just half a year you’ve grown taller, and your physique has changed too. From a frail scholar, you now have the build of a young general... Wait."

As her palms touched the boy’s body, initially feeling nostalgic about the somewhat immature boy from half a year ago who had now grown up to this point, her expression changed when the spiritual energy entered his body.

The changes occurred visibly, from initial surprise to astonishment, and finally to shock, as if she could hardly believe her eyes.

"Such a terrifying body; he’s clearly only achieved Foundation Establishment, and not long ago at that. The strength of his body is almost comparable to my own!"

"The speed of his cultivation progress can only be described as terrifying. Didn’t he leave Qingshui County as a mere Sixth Layer Qi Refiner? It’s only been half a year, how has he already achieved Foundation Establishment?"

"What is this accumulation inside his body?"

Things were starting to get out of her depth. She had assumed Jiang Feng would need three to five years under Liu Tangxi’s guidance to catch up with her, but given this pace, another year might suffice.

"Ah~ comfortable."

Her expression instantly became one of utmost comfort.

Robust spiritual energy transferred from behind her, surging into her body, accelerating the circulation of her own spiritual energy, and seeping into every corner, gradually dissolving residual elixir fragments and congestions.

This was why Liu Tangxi had chosen the two of them.

Both Su Yi and Lu Luo practiced the Cultivation Technique of the Purple Cloud Divine Technique, but their mental methods were the Green Lotus Revitalization Heart Method, which possessed the effects of healing and nurturing the body.

Look, Lu Luo has been through all sorts of things, right? Every day she’s battered and bruised in so many ways, yet not only does she remain unscathed, but she becomes more vigorous and full of life with each battle, thanks to this mental method.

If we were to make an apt comparison, the realm determines your overall mana capacity, the Cultivation Technique dictates the speed of mana regeneration and leveling speed.

And the Heart Method... it determines the direction of your attributes.

As for Jiang Feng, he hasn’t chosen to practice a Heart Method yet. Firstly, once a Heart Method shapes your attributes, it’s difficult to change, and if you do need to alter it, you essentially have to start over. Moreover, he has to wait for his senior sister to make a call about what suits him.

"Mm~ Really nice, I feel so comfortable all over, it’s like all my pores have been opened. I didn’t realize Sister Su Yi had such a skill... No wait, Sister Lu Luo said she knew the Healing Technique when she treated my injuries."

He was somewhat surprised in his mind, but his body was very honest, enjoying the unique healing service.

Actually, this situation was quite dangerous. His body was filled with someone else’s spiritual energy, which coursed throughout, and at any moment if the other party harbored ill intent, it would only take a moment to take his life.

Logically, Jiang Feng should have been vigilant, yet he showed no reaction at all, completely letting down his guard and allowing Su Yi to do as she pleased inside his body.

He had nothing to guard against.

Put it this way, of all the people Jiang Feng knew, only three could inject spiritual energy into his body without him feeling any resistance.

His own senior sister and these two sisters he recognized—no matter how the outside world judged him, no matter how they said their reputations were poor, they were the two sisters he acknowledged.

"Brother Jiang must be curious about why Su Yi appeared here, aren’t you?"

The surprise on her face faded, and Su Yi remained as gentle as ever, making people feel as if they were basking in the spring breeze. The young man nodded lightly, and then she continued to speak.

"Actually, as early as half a year ago, when Brother Jiang first visited the Ethereal Violet Pavilion, I noticed that this was a chance bestowed upon us sisters by the heavens."

"That day, after you and Miss Yan fainted from your battle, Sister Lu Luo healed you. Even though Peak Master Liu took you away afterward, I didn’t expect that before he left, he inquired about us sisters."

"He asked if we were willing to come to Swordmaster Peak to take care of an Inner Sect Disciple. Peak Master Liu mentioned he seemed to have plans to revitalize Swordmaster Peak, wanting to take in new disciples, and instructed us to be responsible for their daily care. If there was spare time, we could even help them practice and improve their skills."

"For us two, this was naturally an immense opportunity, with no room for hesitation. After we handled and passed on our affairs in Qingshui County, we came to Swordmaster Peak."

"The saying goes ’when one person attains the Dao, even their pets ascend to heaven’ — I guess it’s like that. Initially, we didn’t even know you were Peak Master Liu’s junior brother."

"At that time, seeing that you had talent and were fated with Peak Master Liu, we provided some guidance. It seems that this was the most correct decision we sisters have made in our lives."

"Look, in just a few short months, you have already made a small step forward. You are indeed a great benefactor to us sisters."

Her eyes were filled with gentleness, and it was then that he noticed that the aura of Su Yi behind him was slightly different from when they were in Qingshui County.

If he remembered correctly, she was at the Middle Grade Core Formation stage at that time. Could it be that she’s reached Top-grade Core Formation in these few months?

Indeed, those who can enter the Purple Cloud Palace are all exceptional.

Although he was unsure of her exact age, Su Yi definitely couldn’t be over forty — he was confident about this, having personally checked her bone age before.

Her palm started again to knead the young man’s firm shoulders, relieving his soreness. Seeing Su Yi, he had already started to recall the days in Qingshui County. Time had passed so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had already gone by.

"Right, where’s Lu Luo? How come I only see you?"

"Oh, her..."

Mentioning Lu Luo, Su Yi’s expression also revealed a bit of helplessness.

"Brother Jiang knows her temperament; she’s never been one to settle down. Because of issues with her Cultivation Technique, she was never well-regarded by those Outer Disciples in the sect."

"She often got into arguments and conflicts before, and was later ostracized to a faraway place like Qingshui County. You might not like to hear this, but within the sect, if one is sent to guard the border..."

"They basically have no chance of being called back in this lifetime, and are likely to spend their entire lives there."

"Our talents were mediocre, and we knew no one within the sect. Plus, our Cultivation Technique wasn’t very popular, so naturally, we couldn’t mix well with others."

"Now that we’ve finally caught the attention of Peak Master Liu, that girl naturally couldn’t contain her impatience. Plus, she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage when she was sent to Qingshui County, and in a few years upon return, she’s now at the Middle Grade Core Formation."

"So..."

The corners of her mouth twitched.

Imagining that proud and passionate girl who indulged in pleasures, he immediately understood why Lu Luo was not in the peak.

"She wouldn’t have gone out to take revenge on those who bullied her before, right?"

"Yes, not only did she take her revenge, but now she flaunts the Token bestowed by Peak Master Liu all over the place, acting high and mighty, nearly lifting her tail up to the sky. But don’t worry, Brother Jiang, she should be residing in a town outside the sect right now."

"Oh? What is she doing there?"

At this point, a strange look appeared on Su Yi’s face, and then in the shocked expression of Mr. Jiang, she uttered a sentence.

"Of course, she’s returning to her old job, never forgetting her initial resolve."
