I Truly Am The Villian

"Grandfather, I'm sorry," Xia Wanqing said with shame.

"I lied to you; I brought him here to act for the position of Young Sect Leader."

"Grandfather couldn't see through it?" the elder chuckled.

"But you have also reached the age for marriage, can't the play turn into reality?

I think that man is quite good."

"Grandfather, what are you talking about," Xia Wanqing huffed.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you."

"Grandfather does not have much time left, do you really want to spend the latter part of your life alone, upholding this vast Sect Gate and experiencing all sorts of deceptions and intrigues?" the elder said.

"Grandfather, nothing will happen to you," Xia Wanqing replied hastily.

"I will go to the Galaxy Empire to seek medicine for you."

"Listen to me first, do you know why I agreed to let him take the three tests?" the elder said.

Xia Wanqing shook her head slightly.

"If he could perfectly pass those three tests, I would worry that you couldn't control him in the future.

If he couldn't pass even one, it would be difficult to rely on him."

The elder explained.

"Therefore, the best outcome for those three tests is two wins and one loss.

He is just a mortal, but he has courage and strategies.

Now, with the Demon Dragon, I believe some elders in the Sect wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous once you become Sect Master."

Speaking of this, the elder coughed a few times.

He continued: "Once you become Young Sect Leader, you should start nurturing your power, your Direct Lineage.

These old fellows must all be replaced, otherwise, you won't sit securely as Sect Master.

You cannot have the kindness of a woman; this is how I got through."

"I understand, Grandfather," Xia Wanqing said with a low spirit.

"Go," the elder waved his hand.

"Life and death are normal for humans, you don't need to mind too much."

......…

After the competition, several elders hurriedly left, perhaps to discuss their strategies.

But the young man named Mo Du clung to Xu Zimei.

"Brother Xu, can you teach me your method of taming beasts?"

"Just with the dispersal of the royal aura, even the Demon Dragon would submit like a dog."

"There's no special method, perhaps it's personal charisma," Xu Zimei responded.

"Brother Xu, you don't consider me a brother," Mo Du said.

"Can we become brothers just by meeting once?" Xu Zimei laughed.

"Then Brother Mo's brothers must be all over the world."

The two chatted all the way until they reached Spiritual Medicine Peak, where men are not allowed to enter.

Mo Du then left.

When he returned to the courtyard, Xia Wanqing seemed to have been waiting for him early.

She was dressed in a long skirt featuring white and red, her long hair meticulously combed, wearing exquisite makeup.

Her eyes bright as if filled with colors.

"Thank you for today," Xia Wanqing said with a smile.

"It's nothing; I was just lucky," Xu Zimei waved his hand.

"That Black Dragon mysteriously liked me; being handsome is really troublesome."

"In three days, Grandfather will announce during the grand ceremony that I will be the Young Sect Leader, and he will also announce our marriage," Xia Wanqing said softly, her voice tender.

"You're not really thinking of marrying me, are you?" Xu Zimei said.

"I might have to leave before long."

"Where are you going?" Xia Wanqing's face changed, and she quickly asked.

"You still haven't found your origin, you should stay in the Heaven Martial Sect for now."

"I want to travel more in the Mortal Domain," Xu Zimei smiled.

"You think the Heaven Martial Sect is too small," Xia Wanqing said.

"But the outside is very dangerous; how would an ordinary person survive?"

"I have the Seven-Winged Demon Dragon; it will travel with me," Xu Zimei said.

"Right," Xia Wanqing nodded slightly.

Suddenly she said, "I feel a bit unwell, and you've also been busy all day. Rest early."

Watching Xia Wanqing enter the room, Xu Zimei touched his chin.

"This girl couldn't really be interested in me, could she?"

...

In the following days, the relationship between Xu Zimei and Xia Wanqing returned to normal.

They would chat briefly when they met, with nothing further happening.

However, the disciples they encountered started calling him "son-in-law".

Until the next morning, when Xu Zimei stepped out of the courtyard, he found the front of the Heaven Martial Sect bustling.

Some elders were also gathered at the gate.

It seemed like they were welcoming someone.

Xu Zimei didn't know many people in the Heaven Martial Sect, but he spotted Shangguan Lan among the crowd.

So he asked, "What are you all doing?"

Shangguan Lan looked back at him and said, "Oh, it's our son-in-law.

Today, the chief senior brother of our sect, Li Xiaoyuan, is returning to the sect."

"You all are making such a big deal, even the elders are here, just to welcome him?" Xu Zimei said, surprised.

This Li Xiaoyuan holds such a high position in the Heaven Martial Sect.

"It's not just that, Li Xiaoyuan is friends with the second prince of the Galaxy Empire.

This time Brother Li is returning with the second prince," Shangguan Lan explained with a smile.

"The elders are mainly here to welcome the second prince."

Xu Zimei then nodded in understanding.

For the Galaxy Empire, although they are not very strong in the Four Directions Domain,

Compared to the corner-situated Heaven Martial Sect, they are more than sufficient.

Especially the second prince of the Galaxy Empire, he is a distinguished guest and could potentially compete for the throne in the future.

"Boring," Xu Zimei yawned, preparing to leave.

"Where are you going?" asked Shangguan Lan.

"Going back. I'm not interested in them," Xu Zimei replied.

"Aren't you going to learn more about your romantic rival?" Shangguan Lan said with a laugh.

"Li Xiaoyuan has been pursuing Senior Sister Xia for a long time.

I reckon he won't give up easily."

Xu Zimei smiled, but before he could respond, an exclamation came from the front of the crowd.

"Here they come."

"Look, that must be the second prince of the Galaxy Empire."

"Why are there three people? Who is that woman in the center?"

The crowd was buzzing, and several elders stood at the very front.

Xu Zimei casually glanced over.

He saw in the distance, three spirited horses slowly ascending from Mufu Mountain.

Among the three horses, the two on the sides were brown, and the one in the middle was white.

The man on the left should be the so-called second prince.

He was dressed in a golden-yellow robe, his face naturally exuding a bit of majesty.

A blue hair crown held his long hair up, his eyes steady and imposing.

The man on the right should be Li Xiaoyuan.

He was wearing the distinctive blue robe of the Heaven Martial Sect, carrying a long spear on his back.

He had a wine gourd hanging at his waist.

He looked quite handsome, laughing and chatting with the woman beside him.

As for the woman, her face was covered by a light veil, so her features were unclear.

She was wearing a long skirt made of white Washing Silk Veil, floating in the wind.

Her presence carried a light and agile aura.

"The Great Elder of the Heaven Martial Sect welcomes the second prince to visit our sect,"

The Great Elder, glowing with joy, said with a light laugh.

Li Xiaoyuan was his grandson, so naturally, he was proud.
