Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 357: Chapter 231: Going Out for a Spin with My Little Sister

Early in the morning, a tall and handsome man sneakily appeared in front of Swordmaster Peak.

In his hands, he carried a pile of gifts, restoratives, and various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Though none could be considered Supreme-grade, they were all fine quality, capable of both boosting cultivation and healing wounds.

He originally thought that after sending a letter home, his family might hesitate or even obstruct, guessing they wouldn’t send so many things over.

Though he was designated as the heir by the old master, he was not yet the head of the household, and his resources were limited.

If he requested something, people would definitely show him the courtesy, but asking for so much all at once would surely be reported. Hence, he was quite honest in the letter, succinctly explaining the recent events.

The result...

"Ah, they always say boys should be raised humbly and girls lavishly, yet there are many things in this pile I’ve never even seen."

"No wonder the Great Sects and Royal Families coexist peacefully with close ties, arranging marriages and sending young disciples to enter the sect gates. Just these few hundred decent quality Spirit Stones are enough to support some down-and-out sects."

"Among these fine Spiritual Medicines, there are even a few bottles of Elixirs. If only my old master could be so generous with me."

His expression bore some sentimentality.

On the very night that his letter reached his family, the old master immediately dispatched eight experts to escort everything overnight and hand it all over directly to Yan Fengchun.

Not only that, the old master personally wrote a letter of apology.

One could only say that Yan Fengchun was still too young; he wasn’t even aware of the terrible disaster he had caused. Had it not been for the Purple Cloud Palace showing no intention of holding anyone accountable, it’s likely that Prince Yan would have rushed over during the night to personally offer his apologies.

This event certainly gave his grandfather a scare—the direct disciple of a Sword Immortal being harmed, with a disciple of Swordmaster Peak’s fate unknown, and even if healed, it could affect future cultivation. Crucially, it was his own grandson who had led the charge.

People like Yan Fengchun, from the younger generation, might have only heard legends about Sword Immortals, but these old folks who were half-way into the grave had personally witnessed that madwoman in action. Compared to the previous Sword Immortal, this woman was in no way inferior.

The principle of Swordmaster Peak is to slay demons and eliminate evil, without regard to power or relations. As long as evil spirits wreak havoc, as long as they can be seen by their eyes, they would draw their swords and vanquish evil. It can be said that most of the national powers in the Central Plains owe them favors.

They might not have to heed Purple Cloud Palace, but they must respect Swordmaster Peak. However, after calming down and thinking it over, wasn’t this also an opportunity?

His grandson had faced life and death alongside Swordmaster Peak’s direct disciple, and the fact that Purple Cloud Palace hadn’t pursued responsibility indicated that Yan Fengchun hadn’t made too great a mistake.

In that case, they should also prepare some thoughtful gifts.

"The sky has been bright for over an hour, why has no one come? Normally at this time, aren’t they all up practicing their swords?"

The Young Master Yan holding the large and small parcels had a somewhat puzzled expression.

It had been nearly twenty days since the four of them left on what seemed like a suicide mission... to carry out their duties and were beaten to within an inch of their lives. A few days ago, Lu Luo had been brought back to Swordmaster Peak.

With Divine Wood Peak and Qingxia Peak taking care of medical matters, nothing should go wrong, and the recovery was also quite good; the broken bones and meridians had been reconnected. The only bit of unfortunate news might be that she can’t engage in Cultivation for several months.

And it might leave some lingering problems internally.

As for Jiang Feng, there was basically no need to worry, with a recovery speed that could only be described as exaggerated. He had already seen this lad practicing swords with Miss Bai Yu when he paid a visit to Swordmaster Peak yesterday, matching up evenly and indomitably, brimming with energy and strength.

It was impossible to tell he had just recovered from a serious injury, so how could he be missing today? It couldn’t possibly be a relapse of old injuries...

"Brother Yan."

Suddenly, a calm and cool voice came from behind.

He turned around in surprise instantly; he was quite familiar with this voice, but the fact that the other party had managed to sneak up behind him undetected was a bit surprising.

As he recognized the woman before him, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Miss Bai Yu, your Qinggong has become increasingly advanced."

"Thank you for the praise, Brother Yan. Have you come to Swordmaster Peak today to visit Senior Sister Su and Master Jiang?"

The woman spoke in a flat tone, but her manners were impeccable. Dressed in a long blue gown, with a white sword slung at her waist, and her long hair put up high, she looked dashing and heroic even as a woman. If one had to compare, Bai Yu was the one most resembling Liu Tangxi.

Similar in temperament, in stature, and even in appearance, she bore a slight resemblance.

The reason she was able to catch Yan Fengchun here was simply because she happened to live by the Mountain Gate. The moment she stepped outside, she saw someone sneaking around.

"Yes, I was the one who led them on this mission; the responsibility is mine. Seeing them hurt like this, I can’t help but feel a bit remorseful."

His expression showed a hint of apology. Naturally, he was unaware of Demon Night True Monarch’s incident. Although no one blamed him, Yan Fengchun still felt a strong sense of responsibility.

Bai Yu simply nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth lifted subtly, perhaps to smile or to convey her goodwill?

"Brother Yan, your concern is appreciated. However, Master Jiang and Senior Sister Su have already left the Mountain Gate this morning. If Brother Yan doesn’t mind, I can keep you company here for a while until they return, would that be acceptable?"

She gave a polite bow, then gestured with her hand and took the initiative to lead the way.

Bai Yu was quite self-aware; not only was her residence at the Mountain Gate for her own training, but it also entailed receiving visiting disciples from other places, or rather, she took it upon herself to attend to guests.
