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

Exclusive! An exclusive interview with Chu Xia Wanfeng and behind-the-scenes look at the creation of "The Chosen One, How Did I Become the Villain?", for a limited time only.

A private residence near Jian'an Academy has the name "Tian Qing" (meaning "Clear Sky") inscribed on the plaque above its gate.

This is another residence of the Gongsun family within the city.

Although it cannot compare to Yunlan Villa, it is still very elegant, with pavilions and towers.

Gongsun Shu, returning from the other courtyard, stormed through the gate, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

The two gatekeepers bowed respectfully upon seeing the visitors.

"Young Master, you're back."

"Nonsense, where else could I go if I didn't come back? Are you all hoping I won't come back?"

Gongsun Shu glanced at the two men, his eyes filled with malice.

Upon hearing this, the two servants were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.

"...Young master, I wouldn't dare!"

"Hmph, you two with eyes, get out of my way."

He kicked the two men aside and strode into the lobby.

"call……"

Even though the two servants were lying on the ground, they still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who provoked him again? Why is he biting people like a mad dog?"

"Who else could it be? He probably got humiliated by the princess and is taking it out on us. He even thinks he's a scholar, all he does is bark like an incompetent fool."

"Hmm, he doesn't even know what kind of person he is. He's a shameless scoundrel who's two-faced. How could the princess possibly be interested in him? It's just wishful thinking."

"That's true, but it's really tough on us. What did we do to deserve this?"

As they spoke, their expressions fell.

After all, they have a master-servant relationship; if this continues, he might lose his life any day...

堂内

"Bang"

The teacup on the table was smashed to the ground, spilling tea everywhere.

"Damn it, you made me lose face! Xiong Ba, I will never let you get away with this!"

"And that bitch Chu Yanxi, she dared to humiliate me just because she's powerful. Just wait, I'll make sure you get your way!"

Gongsun Shu clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead from anger.

"Uncle Huai, come out."

He called out towards the back of the hall.

As the words fell, a middle-aged man in a plain robe, holding an intricately carved folding fan, walked in from the back of the hall.

He had a refined and elegant demeanor and handsome features, but his phoenix eyes revealed an incongruous effeminate quality.

"Nephew Gongsun, what has caused you to be so angry?" Uncle Huai asked, looking at the mess on the ground with a puzzled expression.

Gongsun Shu suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said:

"It's nothing, I just ran into some clueless people."

He didn't tell anyone what happened today. He had already lost all face. Telling it again would be like trampling on his already dwindling dignity!

Self-harm is impossible.

Of course, Uncle Huai was unaware of the "scholar's" little schemes, so he asked directly:

"Who would dare provoke you? Don't they know who you are?"

"I know. This person's origins are unknown, and he has only recently arrived in the city."

After Gongsun Shu finished speaking, he continued:

"Uncle Huai, I need you to investigate his background."

He didn't believe at all that Xiong Ba was just a country bumpkin.

Cultivation requires resources, and literary talent requires knowledge.

The former alone requires a lot of time and money, and even then, success is not guaranteed.

It's simply impossible for a mere villager like me.

Without careful nurturing, how could they possess such strength and talent?

Gongsun Shu was not a brainless person. He was cautious and investigated first. Only after confirming the identity did he decide whether to take further action.

Although he was burning with rage, he couldn't risk his family's life. If he really offended some powerful force, his entire clan would be wiped out by his hatred.

"Oh, newcomer, tell us about it," Uncle Huai said.

"This man's name is Xiong Ba. He just arrived in the city yesterday and is on good terms with Li Chengye."

"The second young master of the Li family?"

"That's right, and this person's literary talent is no less than mine. Not only that, he is also a cultivator." Gongsun Shu said shamelessly, he couldn't admit that he was inferior to the other party in terms of talent.

Scholars may lack pride, but they must be stubborn.

"Cultivator!"

Uncle Huai frowned. He knew Gongsun Shu's temperament well. Gongsun Shu was very self-important among scholars. Anyone who could be on par with him was no ordinary person.

But the opponent is not only that, they also possess cultivation, so they should not be underestimated.

After a moment's thought, he said:

"Nephew, this matter could be a big deal or a small deal. You must not make a fuss. Let me find out his background before we make a decision."

Gongsun Shu nodded, then, as if remembering something, said:

"Uncle Huai, is there any news about the True Blood?"

Not yet!

Uncle Huai frowned. "However, the Yan family has been making frequent unusual moves lately, as if we've discovered something."

"Then we..."

Before Gongsun Shu could finish speaking, Uncle Huai waved his hand and said:

"Nephew, this matter cannot be rushed. I know you yearn for cultivation, and only true blood can reverse your constitution, but after all, it involves the Yan family, so we cannot act rashly."

Gongsun Shu looked dejected after hearing this. Although his Gongsun family was famous for its literary skills, they also practiced martial arts. Every generation had been cultivators, but he was unable to cultivate due to a congenital physical defect.

The family spent considerable resources searching far and wide, finally finding a way to break the true bloodline barrier. However, after searching for several years, they still have no results. How could he not be anxious?

Adding to the humiliation he suffered today, if he had any cultivation, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state. He might even have won Chu Yanxi's favor in one fell swoop.

He was even more anxious, but when he thought of the Yan family and the power behind them...
