Chapter 810: Human Nature is Hard to Understand

Returning to everyone, Xuan Xiao pretended to look grim.

The coroner hurriedly asked, "How is the little girl?"

"Oh! How embarrassing! I just went to see, the girl was drugged and is still lying unconscious in bed." Xuan Xiao shook his head and sighed.

The villagers were instantly shocked!

"This damn old man! He really wanted to harm the little girl last night."

"Fortunately, he is old and can't handle such a strong aphrodisiac, otherwise the girl's chastity would be at risk!"

"Old bastard, it's better for you to die. This way our Xuanyue Village will be much cleaner in the future."

Listening to everyone's scolding, Xuan Xiao laughed triumphantly in his heart.

Now, as long as he can put all the blame on Xuan Hong, his previous scandal of secretly cooperating with Xuan Hong to resell decent women will not be exposed.

That way, he would be safe.

Now he only needs to think about how to kill the little bastard Gu Chan, so that he can sit back and relax in the future and continue to live his good life.

"Damn it! I'm a real man, how can I be defeated by a little girl like you? Just wait! I'll find an opportunity and kill you."

Thinking this in his mind, Xuan Xiao showed a cruel and sinister smile on his face.

At this time, the coroner waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone stop talking about it. Let's just leave it at that. Everyone, come and help carry the old village chief to bury him. Then when the girl wakes up, tell her that the old village chief died of old age. Then give her some dry food and send someone to escort her out of the village."

"Then I'll tell her that escorting her out of the village will be left to me." Xuan Xiao immediately responded.

The coroner and the villagers all nodded in agreement.

Then everyone quieted down and stopped talking about the matter. They quickly carried Xuan Hong to the back of the village and dug a hole to bury him.

After dealing with Xuan Hong's body, everyone returned to the village chief's house and began to elect a new village chief.

As the most experienced and influential coroner in the village besides Xuan Hong, he was soon elected by everyone and became the new village chief of Xuanyue Village.

According to the village regulations, if the former village chief dies and has no children to inherit his property, the new village chief can take over all the property of the former village chief. In this way, the old coroner successfully took over the houses, fields and real estate left by Xuan Hong.

That afternoon, he moved into the village chief's house as quickly as possible with his family.

Just look, when Gu Chan pretended to wake up after the effect of the drug wore off and walked out of the side room on the right, the old coroner's family members were already cleaning the yard, and his three grandchildren were chasing each other back and forth in the yard, having a lot of fun.

Gu Chan pretended to know nothing and said, "What's going on? Where is the old village chief?"

"Little girl, I'm the coroner of this village, and now I'm the new village chief. The old village chief Xuanhong passed away last night due to his old age." The coroner hurried forward and said.

"Oh! So that's how it is!" Gu Chan said pretending to be relieved.

The coroner changed the subject and said, "Little girl, we have prepared some dry food for you, and we have also asked the strongest young man in the village to escort you out of the village. If you want to leave now, I will ask my son to call Xuan Xiao immediately. If you don't want to leave now, you can rest for one more night. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning."

"Forget it, I'd better go! In case something happens, I'm a little scared as a stranger." Gu Chan pretended to be scared. The coroner quickly apologized with a smile, and then asked his son to invite Xuan Xiao.

After a while, Xuan Xiao came over with a package on his back and his son, the coroner.

Gu Chan looked at him, and they both smiled knowingly. Then they left the village chief's house together and walked towards the outside of Xuanyue Village.

On the way out of the village, the villagers greeted Gu Chan when they saw her again. Obviously, everyone was afraid that Gu Chan would find out what happened last night and make a scene at the government office, thus ruining the reputation of Xuanyue Village.

Gu Chan smiled but said nothing. It was not until she and Xuan Xiao left the village that she sneered and said, "It seems that the villagers of Xuanyue Village are still very united! Knowing that the old village chief had done something shameful, they chose to conceal it. This is really unexpected to me."

"It's already not easy for everyone to live on this border. If the reputation of Xuanyue Village is ruined because of this incident, the government will definitely not look favorably upon the villagers in the future. So everyone is just trying to survive." Xuan Xiao said with a wry smile.

Gu Chan nodded in understanding.

The people and things in this world can never be perfect. Many times, the poor do things that go against their conscience in order to survive. Perhaps this is the regret of this world!
Thinking of this, Gu Chan couldn't help but sigh and said, "If everyone is not poor and not forced by life, then this situation will be better?"

"Hmph! You are wrong. People are selfish. The most unpredictable thing in this world is human nature. If you are still so naive, you will suffer a great loss one day." Xuan Xiao said disdainfully.

"Do you think I'm naive?" Gu Chan said with a strange smile.

When she first came here, she might have been a little naive, but now after experiencing so many things, the word naive is no longer associated with her.

So now after hearing Xuan Xiao say this, she really wanted to laugh.

Xuan Xiao did not want to argue too much on this topic, and instead asked, "Tell me! Where do you want me to take you next?"

"Of course we're heading towards Kyoto!" Gu Chan said unhappily.

"Then we have to take the official road. If we walk along the official road for one night, we will reach Xuanyue City early tomorrow morning. This is the border town on the northern border of our Xuanyue. It is regarded as the barrier of the entire northern border. Only after passing Xuanyue City can we go deep into the heart of the Diyue Kingdom." Xuan Xiao explained.

Gu Chan turned over and rode on the donkey, staring ahead and said, "Okay, then let's go to Xuanyue City first."

"What on earth are you going to do in Kyoto?" Xuan Xiao asked from the side.

"Didn't I tell you earlier? I have a distant relative doing business in Kyoto, and I'm going to join him." Gu Chan said.

"Hmph! Do you think I will believe your nonsense? You are such a cunning girl, and you never tell the truth." Xuan Xiao said with a stiff face.

Gu Chan glared at him fiercely and shouted coldly, "Get down."

As she finished her words, the spiritual seal on Xuan Xiao's chest suddenly emitted a white light, and then his body fell to the ground with a bang as if it was suppressed by gravity.

"Ouch!"

Xuan Xiao screamed in pain and lay on the ground like a turtle, unable to move.

At the same time, his chest was aching terribly and he had no strength at all in his body.

It was not until this moment that he completely understood how the spiritual seal that Gu Chan had planted on his chest last night was used to control him.
