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

The plot is heating up: Update! Come and check it out!

云宅

"Another day has passed, almost a week, and the one-month deadline is getting closer and closer."

As he watched the setting sun gradually disappear into the west, Qin Huaiyu seemed to see his own near future.

Life gradually slips away, eventually leading to decay.

He walked along with a sense of unease. Although everything seemed to be proceeding according to plan, progress was actually slow.

Although he had already met the princess and had an opportunity, there had been no substantial progress for Chu Langtian.

If things continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the Heavenly Nether Grass in the remaining time, and I'll definitely die.

Sigh, looks like I need to hurry!

Learning Yang Ming's skills should keep me safe for now. As long as those men in black, including Gongsun Shu, aren't stupid, they should investigate my identity. Before that, they shouldn't make any rash moves.

I must take advantage of this time to quickly make some contributions, increase my favorability, and get on good terms with the prefect.

Logically, the case in Lilong Village should have been fully investigated, and Chu Langtian should have realized the seriousness of the matter.

Then it's my turn to volunteer, but I don't know if he'll agree...

Alright, let's give it a try. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Chu Yanxi to put in a good word for me. After all, she saved my life, so there shouldn't be any problem.

However, today's leech...

Oh dear, everything's a mess, a complete mess!

Damn, it's too complicated. The Nightmare World is truly dirty; people are dirty, and their hearts are even dirtier.

「呸」

Qin Huaiyu spat out a mouthful of saliva and stepped into the courtyard.

In the east corner of the courtyard, Ah Niu stood beside the stable, complaining to the old horse with a sullen expression.

"Old Ma, why are women so hard to understand!"

She was perfectly fine when she went out this morning, but how come she turned into a shrew by nightfall?

"His mouth is like it's been poisoned; even breathing gets me yelled at. What, are you trying to kill me?!"

"My mother was right. The more beautiful a woman is, the harder she is to please. I'm telling you, you have to be careful when you look for a mare in the future. Don't go for the ones with shiny coats, or they might kick you when they're in a bad mood."

"Hey, Ah Niu, who are you trying to kick?!"

Qin Huaiyu quietly approached from behind and suddenly poked his head out, saying something.

"ah"

Ah Niu was startled, and even Lao Ma was so shocked that he jumped up.

He quickly looked at the person, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who it was.

"Young Master Qin, why do you walk so quietly? You startled me."

"What wrong have you done?"

"No, no," Ah Niu quickly shook his head.

Qin Huaiyu grinned mischievously:

"No, then what are you muttering about? Tell me the truth."

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Ah Niu could only honestly say:

"He's the boss now. I don't know why he came back in the evening and was unhappy. First he cursed at the door, then he cursed at me. He didn't even spare Old Ma. During dinner, he even kicked me off the table."

"Forehead"

Qin Huaiyu was taken aback. Who had offended this old lady this time?

Could it be that the woman has started her period?

"Young Master Qin, just be careful when you go in," Ah Niu instructed.

Go in! You're in this state, how could I possibly go in!

Qin Huaiyu made a move to quietly run away.

"Ah Niu, I haven't been back."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a chilling voice suddenly echoed from the main hall.

"Little brother, you're back. Aren't you going to come in?"

Damn, you can hear that!

Qin Huaiyu immediately deflated. With nowhere to avoid it, he had no choice but to walk into the house, looking back every few steps.

Ah Niu gave him a "take care" look and waved politely before leaving.

"What a manipulative guy!"

Qin Huaiyu was furious.

indoor

Food was laid out on the table, still steaming hot.

Yun Su sat in the main seat with a frosty expression, chewing her food with resentment.

Qin Huaiyu felt a cold atmosphere as soon as he stepped through the door.

Well, everything is warm, but my heart is cold.

He forced a smile and shamelessly said:

"Sister Yun, what's wrong?"

"snort"

Yun Suyan snorted coldly. She didn't know why, but as Qin Huaiyu approached, her murderous intent quickly subsided.

Even so, she didn't want to let the other party off so easily.

"What, now that you've won the villa, you're looking down on my humble little courtyard?"

How did she know? It hasn't been that long; it's impossible for the news to spread that fast!

Qin Huaiyu gave the woman a deep look, then immediately put on a smiling face and said:

"Sister Yun, what are you saying? How could I be so shallow? No matter how nice the villa is, it's no different from a humble abode without you."

"Furthermore, that wasn't my intention. If they hadn't been so aggressive, why would I have provoked them? I can't just suffer in silence and have to endure it."

Yun Suyan also knew the reason behind it. Thinking about it carefully, her younger brother was indeed the passive party. If he didn't have the ability, he might have suffered some kind of humiliation.

Thinking of this, her voice softened slightly.

"And the princess, didn't she make you linger?"

"How could that be? Beauty is just a shell, but true beauty comes from within. I can tell the difference." Qin Huaiyu's words were ambiguous; there were some things he couldn't say outright, but that didn't mean he wasn't aware of them.

This guy is really cunning. How could Yun Suyan not understand? She could only shake her head helplessly and say:

"Then what's the story behind your poem? I never knew you had such talent."

"As a person, one should be humble. Whether you know something or not, if you don't know, you don't know."
