Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

Qin Huaiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. This man seemed to be just like his appearance, upright and fearless of authority, a truly stubborn person.

People like this are undoubtedly easier to get along with than treacherous villains, since stubborn people all share a common flaw: they have a conscience.

"I am aware of this case, but it still needs to be investigated. Once it is confirmed that the facts are as you two have stated, you will be credited for reporting the case and will be rewarded accordingly."

Chu Langtian narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

"But if your report is false, I will punish you for lying. Also, you two must not leave the city in the near future, as I will need your cooperation when something happens."

They give you a sweet treat, then give you a beating; officials are indeed not to be trifled with.

Qin Huaiyu was inwardly grumbling, but outwardly he nodded in agreement.

"We will obey the prefect's orders. If necessary, we will do our best to cooperate."

"Alright, in that case, you two may leave." Chu Langtian waved his hand, signaling the people to leave.

"yes!"

Qin Huaiyu cupped his hands in greeting, and then he and Yun Suyan turned and left the back hall.

Watching the figure gradually disappear, Chu Langtian pondered for a moment and said to the constable:

"Go and fetch Officer Song, the former magistrate."

"Yes, sir."

Having said that, the constable trotted out.

"My lord, the perpetrators are cultivators, and according to that kid, there are quite a few of them. Ordinary people can hardly get involved in this case. Since the Divine Guard Court is patrolling the city, why don't we let them handle it?" Han Fei said.

Chu Langtian shook his head and said:

"Not yet. We only heard what the person who reported the case said, and we don't actually know anything about it. We need to send someone to investigate first before we can ask the patrol to assist in the case."

Han Fei nodded. "The prefect is indeed very thoughtful."

.........

On the street

After leaving the yamen, Yun Suyan was in high spirits. It was a rare opportunity to spend time alone with her younger brother, especially to go shopping and strengthen their friendship. How could she possibly let it pass?

She leaned against his chest and immediately wrapped her arms around Qin Huaiyu's.

"Little brother, now that things are settled, come with me for a walk. It's been a long time since I've been to Jian'an; it's changed quite a bit."

...Um, is the change bigger, or is it you?

Qin Huaiyu enjoyed the softness, his eyes involuntarily sweeping over it.

Yun Suyan's white top sagged slightly, revealing her fair and translucent skin like jade on her chest, with a deep cleavage that was the envy of many.

Bury me atop a high mountain, so I may gaze upon the mainland, but the mainland is nowhere to be seen, only bliss remains!

...Pah, pah, what are you thinking? Your self-control is getting worse and worse. You're even happy to be insulted. You're starting to have masochistic tendencies.

Besides, have you even finished dealing with the important matters? You're just being so irresponsible. Qin Huaiyu, Qin Huaiyu, you've fallen into depravity!

He reluctantly looked away. "Sister Yun's orders are my command."

Sigh, it's hard to refuse, so I'll just indulge myself this once.

Yun smiled without makeup, her face as beautiful as a vibrant rose, attracting everyone's attention.

"Oh, what a beautiful young lady! Come and take a look at my family's secret recipe. It's delicious, inexpensive, and good for your beauty and health."

At a stall selling fried cakes, the owner, his face glistening with oil, greeted customers with a smile.

Women are often powerless against being praised, and Yun Suyan was no exception. She immediately grabbed someone and ran over.

Does this work too?

I ask you, what does this ointment have to do with beauty and skincare? Isn't this a classic case of false advertising?

Qin Huaiyu was speechless, but there was one small thing he didn't understand.

How many faces does Sister Yun really have? In Pingxing, she was cunning and scheming; in Lilong Village, she was calm and collected even when facing One-Ear; she was icy cold and aloof with Li Chengye and the old Taoist priest, clearly misogynistic; yet now she's acting like a timid, feminine woman...

Which one is the real you, or are they all fake?

Lust is a double-edged sword; you'd better not use that sword on me, or else...

Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!

He shook his head, not daring to think about it anymore. After spending a few days together, it would be a lie to say that there were no feelings involved. After acting for so long, it was inevitable that he would get involved himself.

"Boss, two, please."

Yun smiled and handed over the money. The shopkeeper was overjoyed. It was rare to encounter such an easy-going customer. He quickly picked up a piece of coarse paper, wrapped two golden-yellow fried cakes, and handed them over.

Yun Suyan took it and immediately handed one to Qin Huaiyu.

"........."

Qin Huaiyu reluctantly took it, took a bite, and hey, you know what... this tastes just like fried dough sticks with sugar!

"How is it? It tastes good, right?" Yun Suyan asked.

Qin Huaiyu forced a smile and said:

"Delicious, delicious! The crust is crispy and sweet with a pleasant aroma."

The fragrance is so cloying, it's disgusting. How much oil did they put in? It's so oily it could kill someone.

"Really? Then why doesn't mine taste good?"

Yun Suyan frowned, her beautiful eyes fixed longingly on the half-eaten ointment in Qin Huaiyu's hand.

Could it be any more obvious?!

Qin Huaiyu's lips twitched. "Sister Yun, eating too much oil will make you fat."

"Being fat is fine. Look at me, except for that area and that area, the rest of my body is too thin. It's good that I can gain some weight," Yun Suyan said seriously.

Where is that place...? What kind of inappropriate language is that!

It's true, this woman is really thin except for her breasts and perky buttocks, especially her waist. This is probably what is known as a wasp waist.

Having no other reason, Qin Huaiyu could only offer the fried cakes in his hands with both hands.

Seeing this, Yun Suyan quickly took it and took a bite. Before she could even chew, she said:
