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

Anping Lane

Yun Suyan's House

After the two returned, they went straight to the back room, where Qin Huaiyu casually threw the person on the ground.

"Young man, you went a bit too far. This guy still hasn't woken up."

Yun Suyan looked at the man lying dead with disgust. This guy is supposed to be a cultivator? He's such a waste of time.

"Sister Yun, how could someone pretending to be asleep possibly wake up?"

Qin Huaiyu smiled and said.

Upon hearing this, Yun Suyan frowned. "You mean he is...?"

Qin Huaiyu nodded, then looked at the man who had fallen to the ground and said:

"If you keep pretending, I don't mind making sure you never wake up."

After saying that, he deliberately took a few steps forward.

"Tap, tap"

As the footsteps drew closer, the man could no longer help but hurriedly stand up, his face showing a mixture of embarrassment and fear.

"Why...why did you bring me here? What do you want from me?"

Yun Suyan was utterly disgusted. Her little brother was right; this guy was faking it. How could a man be so cowardly, even less capable than a woman?

I might as well castrate myself; it would save me from making a fool of myself.

If the father-in-law is unjust, and there are no roots or eggs, then naturally there will be no guts!

"You know perfectly well why you're asking, little brother. This man is very dishonest; you might as well just kill him." She said quite rudely.

Ha, you've improved; you even know how to bluff now!

Qin Huaiyu was very pleased to see this. As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." It was all worth it for him to spend time with him.

Women should be a little shrewd; society is treacherous, otherwise they'll always suffer. This is especially true for beautiful women. While being naive and innocent is appealing, it makes them vulnerable to being taken advantage of...

Of course, this man was really shameless. He woke up with a disordered aura on the way. Knowing that I was a cultivator who could sense it, he still showed off his clumsy acting skills. He was really stupid to the point of having no bottom line.

"That's true, then let's do as you say, sister."

Having said that, he released his oppressive aura and moved forward.

The man instantly felt the immense pressure. Looking at that handsome yet frosty face, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and all his dignity and petty thoughts crumbled in an instant.

After all, when it comes to life, nothing is more important than staying alive!

He hurriedly said:

"No...no, you captured me because you want to know the inside story...I'll tell you everything I know!"

"You have such a bad habit. It would have been better if you had done this earlier, so you wouldn't have suffered."

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Qin Huaiyu composed himself and said:

"Speak! Who are you? We're complete strangers, why are you trying to harm us?"

With the pressure gone, the man breathed a sigh of relief and honestly said:

"My name is Zhou Yuan, and I am a servant cultivator."

"A mercenary?"

Yun, with her bare face, blinked her alluring eyes.

"I have heard of it. The so-called mercenary cultivators are a group of independent cultivators without any power or sect. Because they lack the resources to cultivate, they can only rely on large forces to hire them to obtain resources for their cultivation."

Forehead?

Isn't this the same principle as hiring mercenaries?

Qin Huaiyu clicked his tongue in amazement. The person behind this was truly meticulous, even choosing to hire someone to leave no trace.

Zhou Yuan nodded cautiously and said:

"What this young lady said is right. It is already difficult for independent cultivators. They have no choice but to do things for others in order to obtain resources."

The reason I did this was because I was instructed by a man in black. He told me to find Wang Hu and leak your information, and then have him use a girl to lure you away!

It really was that group of people!

Why make it so complicated? There are many ways to lead me to Wang Hu's house, why use Yan Chong?

Are you trying to make me an enemy of the Yan family?

No, if they capture me, what's the point of making an enemy of me? It's like dragging the Yan family into this mess.

Qin Huaiyu was still a little confused, so he could only continue asking:

"So, you're saying that killing Wang Hu and framing me was his idea too?"

"That's right!"

Zhou Yuan hurriedly nodded, "It's all his fault. I was just running errands. He arranged everything. It really has nothing to do with me. Please be lenient."

"Hmph, they've managed to absolve themselves of all responsibility!"

Qin Huaiyu snorted coldly:

"You weren't the one who killed him! If I hadn't guessed your intentions, we'd probably be prisoners by now!"

"Can........"

Zhou Yuan wanted to explain, but he was powerless to refute it, since he was the one who had been acting on the surface.

Damn it, it's all the man in black's fault! If he hadn't seduced me, how could I have accepted this job without investigating his background!

"Since you're employed, you must have seen the man in black. What are his distinguishing features?" Qin Huaiyu asked.

"......."

Zhou Yuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then finally hesitated, his expression tightening, and said:

"I...I don't know. When he saw me that day, he was wearing a straw hat and a black veil covering his face, so I couldn't see his face at all."

Damn, is it really necessary? They're not giving us any hope at all.

However, the fact that this person is so well hidden suggests that he is not an ordinary person; he may be a celebrity!

Qin Huaiyu bit his lip and continued:

"And what about body type?"

"...He has a well-proportioned build, with no obvious distinguishing features, that's right!"

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up as he spoke, and he suddenly looked up. "I remember accidentally seeing a long scar on his hand, extending from his wrist to his palm, about the thickness of a finger."

It was somewhat fruitful.

Qin Huaiyu noted down the characteristics, but he still had questions, and asked:

"Since it's an employment relationship, there must be mutual benefits. What was the basis for your deal?"
