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

Chu Langtian looked up when he heard that familiar voice.

Then, her beautiful and innocent daughter walked over with a smile on her face and light steps.

"Xiao Xi, you're back."

Chu Yanxi smiled and nodded. She had just parted ways with Qin Huaiyu and was still basking in the joy of the journey.

That guy seems to know everything; he's even more knowledgeable than I am.

He dared to say such shameless things, I don't know where he learned them from. I'm not even married yet.

And his intelligence...

But who exactly is he? With such strength and talent, he couldn't possibly be unknown.

Chu Langtian, watching his daughter's silly grin and furrowed brows, couldn't help but feel curious.

He knew his daughter well; she had always been aloof and reserved, her words and smiles always polite, but he had never seen her so out of control.

"Xiao Xi"

He raised his voice and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanxi suddenly snapped back to her senses.

"……ah!"

As soon as she uttered the words, she realized she had lost her composure and quickly composed herself, hurriedly asking:

"What happened to Father?"

Chu Langtian was speechless. She had already made it so obvious, yet she still asked him knowingly. Was this still his intelligent daughter?

"Xiao Xi, didn't you attend a club meeting today? Did something happy happen?" he asked curiously.

"It's nothing!"

After Chu Yanxi finished speaking, fearing that her father would discover something amiss, she quickly changed the subject:

"Father, why aren't you in the main hall? What are you doing here?"

Chu Langtian was already troubled, and this mention only brought him back to his thoughts.

"Why"

He sighed and said:

"I've run into a tricky situation."

"What is it?" Chu Yanxi asked, as she rarely saw her father so worried.

Chu Langtian thought for a moment, figuring that his daughter might have a solution with her intelligence, so he recounted the matter of sending out Constable Song and reporting Lilong Village, but he did not specify who reported it.

"Right now, the key is who to send to investigate. You know Father's current situation; there's simply no suitable candidate except for someone from the family."

"No, they are the reserve force of my Chu family. Besides, even if we send them, we are not guaranteed to gain anything."

After all, this isn't just about cultivation level; more importantly, it's about uncovering the truth, which requires sending an experienced and intelligent person.

As she spoke, the image of Xiong Ba immediately popped into Chu Yanxi's mind.

That guy is quite suitable. Not only does he have cultivation, but he is also quite intelligent. He can judge the purpose of Chu Chuyin's attack from the slightest clues and can deduce from it. His ability is by no means ordinary.

"Father, I have learned today that I have met someone who might be a good match for me."

"Forehead"

Chu Langtian hurriedly asked:

"Who?"

"This person has only been in Jian'an for a short time and is a newcomer. He calls himself Xiong Ba."

Newcomer, Xiong Ba!

This name sounds so familiar.

Chu Langtian was muttering to himself when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"It's him!"

"Did Father know him?" Chu Yanxi asked, quite surprised.

"Isn't he a very handsome young man?"

Chu Yanxi nodded.

It really is him. Come to think of it, how could I have forgotten about him? He has cultivation, he can solve cases—isn't that kid the perfect candidate? But…

Chu Langtian raised his eyes and scrutinized his daughter, asking:

How did you come to know this person?

Given my daughter's personality, even if she joined a club, she wouldn't get to know anyone. How could she possibly know that kid unless something happened between them?

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanxi initially intended to make an excuse, but considering what had happened at the student council meeting, and the witnesses of so many students, she knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she simply told the truth:

"Upon learning about this person, he composed a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages: 'Prelude to Water Melody.' He will surely become famous in Jian'an and even the capital soon."

"A timeless masterpiece?"

Chu Langtian was suspicious. He was a scholar and knew the significance of that sentence.

A mere youth creating a masterpiece? You must be joking. Even the most esteemed figures in Kyoto don't possess that kind of ability.

How come this girl dares to lie now?

Seeing her father's distrustful expression, Chu Yanxi didn't hold back and cleared her throat before reciting:

"When will the moon be clear and bright? I raise my cup to ask the heavens..."

"This is……"

Chu Langtian was shocked, but before he could react, a series of melodious words came over.

"The moon turns through the red pavilion, shines low through the embroidered window, illuminating my sleepless night. There should be no resentment, yet why is the moon always full when we are apart? People experience sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon waxes and wanes, and such things have always been imperfect. I only wish that we may live long and share the beauty of the moon, even though we are thousands of miles apart."

As the last word faded, Chu Langtian could no longer maintain his expression. His eyes were filled with shock, and his lips trembled as he said:

"This is his work!"

Chu Yanxi raised her head and nodded with considerable pride, as if she had written the poem herself.

Hehe, I just love seeing my father's naive and unworldly side.

"What wonderful words! What wonderful words! It's no exaggeration to call this a masterpiece for all time. This young man's talent far surpasses that of the masters. Our great martial arts and literary world has a worthy successor!" Chu Langtian was overjoyed.

"But that's not all, he also saved me and all the students present."

Chu Yanxi, never one to be outrageous, continued:

"Someone planted a leech at the society, intending to harm me. Thanks to his intervention, he single-handedly suppressed and killed it, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it back."
