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

Upon seeing this, the four people in the pavilion changed their expressions drastically. Without the slightest hesitation, they ran wildly outside with all their might.

next moment

A loud "boom"

The ground cracked, mud flew everywhere, flowers and plants were torn apart and scattered, and the pavilion collapsed under the impact of the energy, instantly creating a cloud of dust.

"Cough, cough"

Qin Huaiyu was choked by a mouthful of smoke and dust. Looking up at the dilapidated garden, he felt a wave of fear. He was lucky he had run fast; otherwise, even with his strength, he might have been seriously injured.

Another self-destruction!

The leech has begun to confess, clearly indicating that it was not voluntary and that it was being manipulated.

He thought of the group of men in black in the woods a few days ago, and that self-destruction incident; the two were essentially the same.

It seems to be another case of Taoist spirit control techniques. This matter is inextricably linked to those people. But why are they targeting the princess?

Could it be...?

Qin Huaiyu frowned, his eyes sweeping over the people present.

The students were young, and even after causing such a commotion, they were still lying there like corpses, while the four people next to them all looked like they were still in shock.

"That leech is ruthless! It chose to self-destruct just to kill us!"

After Li Chengye finished speaking with a frown, he turned to look at Qin Huaiyu and said sincerely:

"We are all thanks to Brother Ba, otherwise we would all be dead here."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chong immediately echoed:

"Thank you, Brother Ba, for saving my life. I will never forget your kindness."

...Where's your face? You, Yan Chong, aren't you someone who thinks you can defy everyone?!

Liu Man inwardly scoffed, but outwardly bowed and said:

"Brother Ba, I won't say any more nice words. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, I, Liu Man, will definitely do my best to help you!"

This guy is straightforward, definitely a jerk.

Qin Huaiyu smiled politely and said:

"Gentlemen, it was nothing more than a small favor; please don't take it to heart."

You must remember this well, this favor must be repaid.

Polite, composed, and reserved, Chu Yanxi's bright eyes gleamed with admiration, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Young master, when will the moon be clear and bright? Did you write that poem?"

Uh, what kind of brain circuit is this? What time is it and you still care about a poem?

Qin Huaiyu was speechless, but he still kept smiling.

"It is indeed I, Xiong Ba, who greets the Princess."

It must be said, this woman is truly beautiful. Her skin is like jade, her smile is like a flower, and her cool demeanor is tinged with a charming allure. Coupled with her well-proportioned figure, she is practically a goddess.

A celibate fairy.

"Xiong Ba..."

Chu Yanxi waved her hand and said:

"No need for that title, just call me Yanxi. Young master, you are truly talented and have a great talent. I never expected you to be so strong as well. You were able to defeat the Sound Leech and save our lives. You are truly admirable."

Upon hearing this, the three people nearby were startled. What kind of status did the princess have that he would call her by her name, and with such a misleading title at that?

Yanxi, Yanxi, aren't you hurting my heart? Liu Man felt bitter.

"........."

Li Chengye, you're being unfair, brother! I asked you to be my foil, but you're using me to climb to the top!

"........."

Yan Chong, woman, how can you speak such cold words from a mouth that has warmth?

Anyone with a discerning eye knows why these young masters from aristocratic families have come.

Of course, Qin Huaiyu also had this purpose, but he didn't show it and remained humble:

"You flatter me. I was just using a trick; I don't have much cultivation."

Chu Yanxi pursed her rosy lips slightly, then said:

"Young master, excessive modesty is arrogance. Since you are proficient in both literature and martial arts, you must have studied under a renowned master. May I ask which master you are?"

Wow, you're already trying to get to know my parents after just meeting me? That's moving too fast.

Qin Huaiyu was very conservative, and said without hesitation:

"I am but a rogue cultivator, without a teacher or mentor. As for my knowledge, it was only taught by a private tutor."

...Quite cautious. If you don't want to say, then don't. I don't want to know anyway! Chu Yanxi pouted.

Qin Huaiyu smiled upon seeing this.

"Women get wrinkles when they get angry."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanxi immediately calmed herself down, her fair face remaining tense as she spoke in a reproachful tone:

"I didn't."

"Hehe, no, no. Yanxi is so beautiful, she must be a reasonable, gentle, virtuous and magnanimous girl."

Qin Huaiyu glanced down and saw that she had a cleavage, and it was quite large, so she wasn't lying!

Chu Yanxi blushed at the praise. As a princess, she was usually polite and cautious in the presence of others, and no one had ever dared to speak to her like that.

"It's not that good."

After saying that, her face turned so red with embarrassment that it looked like it was about to drip water.

"........." Li Chengye stared wide-eyed. This is acceptable? If I had known, I would have gone all out. I regret it!

"........."

Liu Man got goosebumps. Damn, what a talent! Are all scholars this shameless? I've learned something!

"........." Yan Chong, Princess, you're so foolish!

"If I say it's there, then it's there."

"Is the little girl confused?" Qin Huaiyu felt a little guilty and quickly said:

"Let's go see how the others are doing."

After saying that, Chu Yanxi nodded.

So the two of them quickly walked toward the corridor, and the other three reluctantly followed.

.........

"Qing'er, Qing'er, wake up, wake up!"

Chu Yanxi walked to her maid and called out softly.

Qing'er slowly woke up, and after regaining her senses, she hurriedly opened her eyes, her little face full of panic.
