Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Can’t Even Get Married in Peace?

"Ah..."

Following that somewhat overbearing force, the girl was pulled inside, staggering.

Uncle Zhao wanted to say something, but when he thought about how these two youngsters were going to be married in a few days, and they hadn’t seen each other for so long, he could only helplessly shake his head.

It seemed like the feelings between these two youngsters were indeed very strong. After all, he had watched Yu Rou grow up, and he couldn’t help but worry a little.

Holding the young girl in his arms, that unique fragrance continuously infiltrated the young man’s nose. He remembered that Yan Yurou never wore makeup, nor did she have any habit of using perfume, and then he remembered a saying.

If you can smell a scent from a makeup-free woman, it means your DNA has chosen her.

Feeling the strong arms and firm chest, the girl’s face blushed, her heartbeat accelerated, but she indeed had no thoughts of struggling, instead, she quietly nestled in the arms of her fiancé.

However, Jiang Feng remained still in that position, his gaze fixed behind the door, until the disciples of the Fan Yin Sect started to leave one by one. Only then did he look at the young girl in his arms.

"You, you... Jiang Lang, how have you become so naughty."

Her voice was very soft.

But although Yan Yurou was young, the jealousy she felt was in no way less intense than that of women who were quarrelsome over jealousy, puckering her cute pink lips.

"Hmph~ Definitely, hanging out in brothels every day, learning from those elder sisters..."

She rolled her eyes, this young girl had already walked a path that people take many years to travel, without letting go, very possessively holding the girl in his arms, quietly feeling her trembling body due to nervousness, and even involuntarily reached out a small hand to grab onto his back.

It was not until then that the doubt on Jiang Feng’s face finally disappeared, and it turned exceptionally gentle. He had experienced too much in these past months, with all the pointers aimed at the Yan Family, multiple times he narrowly escaped death, forcing him to consider that one issue he had always dared not to think about.

That was.

What exactly Yan Yurou was thinking in her heart.

Does she have feelings for me?

Is all this just my wishful thinking? Is it because of the childhood marriage agreement that she has no choice but to marry me? Does she actually not want to, unwilling to marry me?

He didn’t even dare to think carefully when the clues were pointing at the Yan Family before.

The two had lived together for sixteen years, one could say that from the moment Yu Rou was born, the two were inseparable childhood sweethearts. This separation was their longest so far.

If such feelings of over a decade were false, were a disguise, he feared he could not bear the outcome, but...

"We’ve been parted for a long time indeed."

"This time, Yu Rou has prepared well for the wedding. Next month will be the time we wed, you."

"Now you must not mess around!"

"Otherwise, I... I will shout..."

For some reason, her voice became quieter and quieter with the last sentence, as if she didn’t have much confidence. With her character, even if Jiang Feng forced the marriage, she probably would just resist half-heartedly, at most feeling a bit aggrieved afterward.

Feeling the young girl’s shy yet dependent emotions, the heart that had been hanging finally dropped. Everything might deceive, but such genuine emotions from the heart would not.

His face wore an indulgent smile as he ruffled the girl’s hair. But now, the true mastermind behind the scenes had become even more elusive.

Initially, he considered that the old man named Zhang Nian was the mastermind, but from the encounters a few days ago, he seemed more like someone forced, no, it should be said that he acted like this with the silent permission of someone else.

Because no matter how powerful he was, his surname was Zhang, not Yan.

Even if you have watched Yu Rou grow up from a young age, certain things were not for you, an outsider with a different surname, to decide. This is the Yan Family matter, including the parties involved who have not opposed this marriage. Who are you, an outsider, to point fingers?

Without thinking too much further, he buried his head on the girl’s shoulder, feeling the tickle of her hair tips and the gentle breath of the boy. That alone was enough to make Lady Yan’s legs go weak, her eyes filled with mist, as if at any moment, she might squeeze out tears in an adorably vulnerable manner.

"Yu Rou, you didn’t encounter any abnormalities on your way home, did you?"

"No, there weren’t any. These Immortal Masters escorted me all the way back."

"Immortal Masters?"

"Yep."

As their long embrace finally ended, he held the girl’s hand and sat down with her in the hall. Whether it was the impact of their recent hug, her cheeks still flushed, she explained in a very soft voice.

"It’s just, during the time when Yu Rou was heading to State City to send out invitations and prepare the wedding dowry, I heard that some trouble arose in the county. It seems that there was a desperate villain who went around killing people and setting fires."

Her expression stiffened.

That desperate villain was none other than himself.

But it was clear that Yan Yurou had no idea, as in her subconscious, her fiancé was still a scholar.

"According to them, it seems to be over a fight for a very powerful Elixir. Yu Rou isn’t too clear on the details, but a few days ago, Uncle Sun sent people to State City to ask for help."

"So the local Immortal Masters decided to take on this matter. Coincidentally, Yu Rou was also returning home at the same time, so they followed along with our family’s carriage."

"It is said that these Immortal Masters are from a sect called the Fan Yin Sect. It seems they have quite a reputation."

He nodded, understanding the strength of the opposing party. Merely upon opening the gates and exchanging glances, he could tell that their abilities were extraordinary, among them three at the Qi Refinement stage and one at Foundation Establishment. Currently, he didn’t have the capability to handle an expert at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Perhaps... could he use them as a pawn?

Talking up to this point, the girl seemed to have thought of the feud between Jiang Feng and the Xue family, the fact that he killed Mr. Xue, her face paled, asking nervously.

"Jiang Lang has nothing to do with this, right?"

"Of course not, how could I be such a person!"

His head shook like a rattle-drum.

He could never admit to such a thing in front of his fiancée, but the sweat on his forehead seemed to betray some truths. Lady Yan nevertheless breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was worried that the murderer, the arsonist, the man of utter depravity could have been Jiang Lang."

"..."

Standing up, her flushed pretty face finally began to lose its rosiness. She pushed the bundle in her embrace towards him, which piqued Jiang Feng’s curiosity.

"Jiang Lang, remember to wear it next month. I... I’m going to head back to the manor first."

Leaving him with these words, the girl, extremely shy, ran towards the door. But this time, Jiang Feng did not stop her; instead, he was curious about the package in front of him.

Unwrapping it, he took the red silk brocade in hand and gently shook it out.

It was a beautifully crafted wedding robe.

Its design was grand, the color vibrant, and it was adorned with intricate golden patterns. A single glance revealed the tremendous care put into the design of this wedding garment.

"Don’t worry, I will wear it to welcome you as you cross the threshold into our home."

The boy smiled, but immediately, the sensation of being watched sharpened his gaze!

"What, can’t even let a man have peace on his wedding day?"
