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

Chapter 163 Human Struggle, and Societal Maneuvering

Lunch was served quickly.

Shortly after Yu Fei gave the order, a large group of men in black, like wolves, looted all the food in the kitchen.

The two cooks at the stoves weren't idle either; they filled their own bowls with the remaining food.

As for Qin Huaiyu and Chu Yanxi, they didn't even get a hair.

However, the two were quite content, standing in a corner of the courtyard with a wide view, coldly watching the men in black who were eating and drinking heartily.

"Hey, the food tastes better than usual today! You two did a great job!"

Yu Fei stuffed his mouth full of rice, eating with such gusto that his mouth was dripping with oil.

"Brother Yu is too kind. I will definitely do my best."

The shorter cook answered as he ate, but he was somewhat puzzled. He made the same dish every day, so why was today's dish different?

The man who was rushing to bring the food didn't answer.

He ate listlessly, taking only a few bites, feeling extremely depressed.

I was delivering food just now, hoping to take the opportunity to make a good impression, but as soon as I walked in, I saw Scarface's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Before he could even speak, he was inexplicably subjected to a barrage of insults.

The scene was like a powder keg about to be lit.

"Damn it, what did I do to deserve this? I should have let that newbie go instead of me getting involved."

Qin Huaiyu listened to the discussions and couldn't help but want to laugh.

The added ingredients turned out to be delicious; these people really have unique tastes.

Watching nearly a hundred people eat poisoned food, he felt no emotion whatsoever.

It's not that I'm cold-blooded, I'm just really fed up with these people.

If you can't live a good life, you might as well be dead; at least you'll be contributing to this feudal society.

"He harbored malicious intentions, unaware that disaster had already befallen him. What do you think he'll do next?"

Chu Yanxi looked at the greedy ghost sitting and eating at a stone table and said.

"Those who reap what they sow will not escape punishment!"

Qin Huaiyu squinted and continued:

"Although I instigated it, ultimately it's because he's vicious. His guts being ripped out would be too lenient; why do you feel sorry for him?"

"No!"

Chu Yanxi quickly denied it, then added:

"It's just that he had a lot of strength, but in the end, he died like this. It's really laughable."

Hey, what do you mean by "dying like this"? This is a grave burial, a really high-level one.

Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes at her. "You're supposed to be a princess, yet your views are far too narrow."

"????"

Chu Yanxi pointed at herself, looking completely bewildered.

Qin Huaiyu shook his head, looking like a teacher looking at a disappointing student, and admonished:

"When people fight, they must strategize. Ultimately, those who rely on brute force are considered reckless, while those who use tactics are considered wise. Do you understand?"

Who do you think you are!

Chu Yanxi raised her head arrogantly, "Your words are wrong. Martial arts also require strategy. Without thought, how can one act?"

Where is this going?

Qin Huaiyu was speechless. "You messed it up."

"………Forehead?"

"What I mean is, if you can use your mouth, why would you use your hands? What's with all that energy? How stupid!"

"..."

Chu Yanxi blushed. "Where did I get this embarrassing?" she thought.

Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes rather unkindly.

What's with that expression on his face? Does he really think I'm stupid...?

Chu Yanxi felt her face burning. Oh no... The teachings of sages are so harmful!

So pedantic, so incredibly pedantic!

Qin Huaiyu saw that the beautiful face was already flushed red, and he couldn't bear to tease her any longer. He then glanced at the man in black.

In the brief moment between conversations, almost everyone had finished their meal.

Some were burping, some were picking their teeth, and some were already chatting in twos and threes...

"Alright, business comes first. According to the time, the poison is about to take effect."

"In order, Scarface should be the first one!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanxi quickly gathered her thoughts and looked at a door diagonally opposite her.

Not only them, but also the greedy ghosts not far away were staring intently at that spot, as if trying to see right through them.

His eyes were urgent, and even his breathing became rapid.

"Bang"

Just then, a loud bang was heard, and the door was suddenly flung open.

The men in black inside the courtyard were startled and hurriedly went to look.

Scarface rushed out, clutching his stomach.

The scarred face was now even more ferocious, blood kept spilling from the corner of the mouth, and the features were twisted together as if it were enduring great pain.

"The food is poisoned, don't eat it!"

He roared, his mouth filled with blood and saliva, but in an instant, an even more intense pain struck, and the scarred man spat out a mouthful of blood. He then ran towards the main hall.

"Second Master, save me!"

All of this happened so fast that no one present had time to react.

"Scarface, what did you just say...?" someone asked in alarm.

"It seems to be saying that the food is poisoned?"

"It's poisonous, so what do we do..."

Many people looked down at their empty bowls.

Yu Fei felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

It's poisonous? How could it be?

I was right there the whole time.

Could it be...?

"It was you! What exactly did you do?" He glared at the two cooks with a fierce look in his eyes.

The two were terrified and quickly explained:
