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

Qin Huaiyu watched the hurried figure leave from the corner, a smile appearing on his lips.

They really can't wait!

"What is he going to do?" Chu Yanxi asked in confusion.

Qin Huaiyu curled his lip and said:

"Of course we're going to get the Mystic Poison Herb. We need to put it in the most conspicuous place so we can find it."

"That's really despicable. They say they won't fight among themselves, but deep down they wish Scarface would die soon, and they're trying to stay out of it!"

Chu Yanxi's face was full of disgust as she continued:

"Are we really going to do as he wishes and poison Scarface? Given his hypocrisy, there's no guarantee he won't repay kindness with enmity."

"It's not just uncertain, it's certain that he will be the first person to arrest us."

Qin Huaiyu was very certain and said, "He even has the Xuan Du Grass, so he had a plan to poison him long ago."

Everyone was aware of the feud between the two. If Scarface died, Xue Wenyuan would suspect him first. How could he dare to lay a hand on him?

Now that's great, we've taken action to eliminate his biggest threat, and afterwards, to protect himself, he'll naturally be the first to push us out.

In this way, he can remain uninvolved and reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Chu Yanxi was startled. She had never thought of this aspect before, but after Qin Huaiyu's analysis, it was indeed the case.

but……

"He provided the poisonous herbs; isn't he afraid we'll expose him?"

Qin Huaiyu shook his head and said:

"What are you afraid of? It's true he has poisonous herbs, but did he give us permission to retrieve them?"

"no."

"Did he send us to get the 'poison scar face' treatment?"

"...No, not at all."

"That's settled then. We stole the grass, and we were going to kill the people. What does it have to do with him?"

"...What a vicious mind! They're already planning to sacrifice us."

Chu Yanxi frowned and continued:

"Should we still do it?"

"Of course"

Qin Huaiyu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Not only that, I'm going to do something big. Don't you think the men in black here are living too comfortably? I don't like it."

"You want to..."

Chu Yanxi's pupils dilated in shock; her clear black and white eyes revealed disbelief, even a hint of horror.

At this moment, she felt that Qin Huaiyu was somewhat unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that it was frightening.

Qin Huaiyu's lips curled into a smile. "What, is this the first time you've met me?"

How could he not read Chu Yanxi's expression? But so what!

"……no."

Chu Yanxi's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

Qin Huaiyu's face turned cold, and he said:

"I am not a saint, and I do not understand any of that nonsense about being strict with myself and lenient with others, or being magnanimous. Wrongdoing should be punished, that is the right way, otherwise what is the use of laws?"

"I will make the knife that others cannot, and I will kill those that others cannot kill. If justice is unjust, then I will use my own body as the blade."

Seemingly influenced by his emotions, his momentum suddenly surged.

"Heaven's justice is unjust; I will use my own body as a blade..."

Chu Yanxi repeated the sentence silently: This world is filled with chaos and bloodshed, who still remembers the laws and norms?

What use are the teachings of saints if they become a pretext for greed?

Is this the way of heaven? If so, what use is it?

As for me, didn't my hands also get stained with blood? What right do I have to question him?

Besides, he did nothing wrong. Evil must be punished, it is only right and proper. Otherwise, where would humanity be in this nightmare world?

Having figured out the reason, she looked at Qin Huaiyu again. His thin figure looked so majestic at this moment, like a mountain blocking out the darkness and leaving a patch of light.

This woman isn't exactly a saint!

Seeing that Chu Yanxi's complexion had improved, Qin Huaiyu didn't delay any longer and said to her:

"Come on, he's already out."

After saying that, the two headed straight for the direction the greedy ghost had just gone.

.........

Hui-shaped corner

Beginning with green tiles, the next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 161, "Injustice of Heaven," awaiting your visit. The eaves soar high, the vermilion-lacquered beams and pillars stand in unison.

Below, carved wooden railings separate the buildings into distinct sections, creating an orderly layout.

"The people aren't much to look at, but the village itself is built quite nicely, with a rather modern feel."

Qin Huaiyu grumbled a couple of times, then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention.

He then led Chu Yanxi quickly into the greedy ghost's room.

The room was simply furnished with a bed, a simple wardrobe, and a round table in the middle.

A square wooden box sat quietly on top of it.

Qin Huaiyu stepped forward, picked it up, and opened it. Inside lay a cluster of herbs.

There appeared to be at least four or five plants, all with quite a lot of branches and leaves.

Qin Huaiyu recognized that he had heard Feng Yunming mention the Xuan Du Cao (玄毒草), which had a grayish-brown stem and sky-blue leaves shaped like three fingers. Although it looked beautiful, it was actually extremely poisonous and often grew in deep forests.

The herbs inside the wooden box did not resemble the description and were undoubtedly poisonous.

"This guy really went all out. Although Xuan Du Grass isn't rare, four or five plants still cost quite a bit," Chu Yanxi said.

"A grudge is worth any expense."

Qin Huaiyu glanced at the door as he spoke, then said:

"Speak softly when you go outside in a bit."

Chu Yanxi frowned. "Isn't he worried?"

Qin Huaiyu nodded. "This greedy fellow is no pushover. He's quite cunning. He won't feel at ease until he sees us drugging Scarface with his own eyes."

This guy's mind is more meticulous than a needle tip!

Chu Yanxi was somewhat annoyed. It's said that women are meticulous and men are careless, but how come she had the opposite attitude?
