Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 308: Chapter 205: Poor Tom, Played in the Palm of Their Hand

"Hurry up, move!"

"Everyone in the front clear out, clear the way!"

At the city gate, several soldiers were escorting prisoners forward.

Among them were elderly men and strong young men, their faces filled with sorrow and injustice as they shouted their innocence, but they were still forcefully escorted out of the city.

The passersby had grown accustomed to this sight, no one spoke up or showed sympathy, merely stepping aside to give way as they shook their heads seeing officials cast another person out of the city.

Just then, a group of four approached, intending to enter the city. Seeing this scene, they involuntarily stepped aside, but continued towards the city.

"You lot! Are you deaf? We are escorting prisoners, back off, get back!"

As expected.

The four who were coming towards them looked at each other.

The soldiers, with furious momentum, came forward, waving their spears to signal them to step aside, even Jiang Feng couldn’t help but frown. Logically, the city gate was wide enough; if the prisoner’s cart occupied the central main road, they should have been able to enter from the side.

Surely, it can’t be that such a long line of people moving out would prevent others from entering the city, right? That would be unreasonable and troublesome, but he glanced at the prisoners subconsciously.

"Such thick iron chains and shackles, and with such a large group of people, I remember seeing many prisoners being transported or passing through Qingshui County, but never with such heavy guard..."

He felt puzzled, especially when observing the prisoners move, he noticed eerie patterns stitched under their clothes, which seemed familiar—having seen them during his time in Qingshui County.

If he remembered correctly, it should be an "Evil Exorcism Charm."

Stepping back a few steps, Yan Fengchun also retreated with him; after all, they were just doing their duty, no need to get into a scuffle with mere soldiers. But the two following them...

"Brother Wang, these people are so rude. We were merely passing by, and yet they act so haughty and overbearing. Doesn’t the Government Official care about this?"

A twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Especially with that pitiful and exasperated voice, anyone could tell who it was just by the toes.

A young woman with a somewhat seductive air cautiously poked her head around, hiding behind Jiang Feng, yet her eyes always lingered on another man next to her with a slimmer figure.

Her eyes brimming with affection and desire, wearing a translucent green dress paired with a pure white undergarment, she undoubtedly became the most stunning beauty on that street, so much for Crown Flower Street suppress the mass.

This seductive posture not only captivated the man known as "Brother Wang," but even the passersby and some soldiers responsible for escorting the prisoners were somewhat flabbergasted, such a beauty rarely seen in this remote border town.

Moreover, this woman exuded a faint celestial aura, just a glance at her was enough to tell that her identity was no ordinary.

Hearing the beauty’s complaint, Brother Wang couldn’t possibly ignore it, particularly because whenever he went somewhere, he was treated like a celestial being—being scolded like this for the first time.

Thus, he straightened his back, an astonishing aura bursting forth within him, causing people to back away in shock, even the prisoners showed a look of terror!

"Daring to point weapons at me, you’ve got some nerve. Such arrogance from a few Government Officials; does it mean that we can’t even walk by here, or is this how the County Magistrate taught you to act!"

He yelled fiercely.

"Disperse!"

His aura forced the armed officials to step back continuously, some quick-reactors even began kneeling and begging for mercy, even from afar, waves of Spiritual Energy could be felt, apparently, some Cultivators residing in the city were coming to check the situation.

Although these officials were somewhat aggressive in their actions, they were still clear-headed; facing a Cultivator with mere weapons was like facing an alien being without any difference.

Jiang Feng and Yan Fengchun were better, despite being somewhat displeased, they didn’t lose their temper. Both men, whether in terms of insight, knowledge, or mindset, far surpassed their peers. Though unhappy, they wouldn’t trouble these common folk.

Sometimes it’s better to do less rather than more, that was Jiang Feng’s mindset, but Brother Wang was different; he...

"Brother Wang is so impressive, truly a handsome figure. Catching criminals might require Brother Wang to protect me a lot this time. This is sister Lu Luo’s first time working far from home; don’t let them disturb our task."

Goosebumps arose.

That pitiful and exasperated voice made the other two brothers clench their fists, trembling, both bowed their heads, exchanged a glance, even their toes clenched into the ground, almost digging a three-bedroom apartment.

Jiang Feng couldn’t hold back and quickly broke into laughter, followed by Yan Fengchun. Anyone who knew Lu Luo and was aware of her nature understood that she was toying with her prey, about to laugh out loud when he caught the calm yet slightly indifferent gaze.

It was Lu Luo staring at him.

No threats, just indifference and calmness, making Yan Fengchun shiver uncontrollably, his smile immediately disappearing as he lowered his head pretending nothing had happened.

Only Brother Wang stood proudly at the forefront, blissfully unaware, just like... a Tom being toyed with in the palm of a woman.

It was about eight days ago.

Jiang Feng and his group had set out from Purple Cloud Palace, aside from the three of them, Yan Fengchun had, relying on decent connections and his excellent strength, invited a capable fellow disciple.
