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

Turn the page, and you'll find yourself in another world.

Blood Sun Sets in the West

Night falls

The sky was starless; it was another clear and sunny day.

Wenhua Street was brightly lit, lined with shops, and bustling with men and women of all kinds.

The tallest building in the middle is the most affected.

This building is five stories high, constructed of mahogany with glazed tiles, and has red lanterns hanging from its eaves. It also has an open-air corridor underneath, making it look quite grand.

At the entrance, there are six blue stone steps, and tall vermilion-lacquered round pillars with plaques hanging horizontally on them, with gold characters on a black background.

Qingfengfang

Qin Huaiyu had just arrived when he looked at the building in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"It really is a money pit, truly luxurious."

The old Taoist priest chuckled and said:

"Hey buddy, what's so special about a glamorous exterior? True beauty comes from inner well-being."

This old guy's words were loaded with hidden meaning; he really wasn't serious at all.

Qin Huaiyu ignored him and walked straight towards Qingfengfang.

Doorway

Several scantily clad women, seeing people approaching, quickly swayed their hips to greet them.

"What a handsome young man! Please come in."

Two women of above-average looks came up and each took one of Qin Huaiyu's arms, clinging to him as if they were boneless.

Seeing that there was nowhere else for them, the other women rushed towards the old Taoist priest.

"Daoist Master, have you thought of me today?"

"I've been thinking about it, I've been thinking about it. How could I not miss you all living such a comfortable life!"

As the old Taoist priest spoke, he began to move his hands quite inappropriately, moving them up and down simultaneously.

"Taoist priest, you're so annoying, you're so mean!"

"Ha ha"

Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but admire him inwardly, thinking what true professionalism was.

This is called professional ethics.

Regardless of status, clothing, or even personal taste, they immediately offer emotional value.

However, those women really went all out; it takes a lot of courage for them to try and get close to you.

"Young master, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?" The woman on the right said, pulling her closer, so much so that her snow-white chest was slightly distorted.

Women, don't breastfeed me!

Qin Huaiyu wasn't one to take a loss lying down, so he retaliated by grabbing the woman's buttocks.

"I'm new here, so I hope you two sisters will take good care of me."

"Young master, you're being dishonest."

The woman gave him a coquettish look, then led him into the workshop.

The moment I stepped inside, a cacophony of noise and the pungent smell of alcohol hit me.

Qin Huaiyu frowned, and what he saw when he looked up was a scene of extravagance.

A red velvet carpet extends from the entrance all the way up the stairs to the second floor.

In the center stands a high platform where several women dressed in sheer gowns dance, their ethereal beauty stirring a surge of adrenaline.

The guests on both sides either drank or watched with rapt attention, and those with female attendants even flirted openly in public.

The scene was practically a live sex show.

However, he was also surprised by two acquaintances: the Liu family, Liu Man, and Yan Chong.

"I can understand Yan Chonglai, but Liu Man doesn't seem like a lecherous person. Could he be here to exchange information like me?" Qin Huaiyu asked suspiciously.

In that very short time, two people not far away also noticed him.

Yan Chong was in a panic. Why did he always run into this jinx when he went out to play?

He cursed inwardly, but dared not show it, so he quickly forced a smile and ran over.

Why is this guy still so cheeky? What exactly is his relationship with Brother Ba?

With questions in mind, Liu Man also got up and walked over.

Of course, the movement of these two young masters also alarmed many people, especially those at nearby tables who all looked towards the door.

"Who is that? What is his status that he needs the young masters of two great families to greet him?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"This person looks unfamiliar; he doesn't seem to be from a prominent family in Jian'an."

"Hey, that person looks like Young Master Xiong?" Someone seemed to recognize Qin Huaiyu.

"The surname Xiong? There's no such family in Jian'an!" someone questioned.

"It's him, it's him, the very same young master who rose to fame at the poetry gathering and composed the quatrain 'Prelude to Water Melody'."

"That's right, I witnessed his talent at the poetry gathering," someone exclaimed excitedly.

"Hmph, I thought he was some important person, but he's just a scholar!"

"What's wrong with being a scholar? Do you even understand the knowledge we're pursuing?" one student retorted.

"You don't understand, but I can make you not understand either!" A burly man with tattoos all over his arms stood up.

Everyone fell silent instantly.

After all, when force is at stake, scholars are of no use.

Of course, Qin Huaiyu didn't notice any of this; at this moment, the two young masters had already arrived in front of him.

The two women beside him stared at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

The two young masters before them were well-known figures in Jian'an, yet they were the ones who welcomed the people they had brought.

And their attitude was very respectful.

This young master must be some important figure; we must seize this opportunity!

Thinking this, the two hugged Qin Huaiyu even tighter.

"Brother Ba, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Yan Chong really didn't know what to say, so he could only make something up.

This guy must be terrified.

Qin Huaiyu was speechless, but for the sake of the occasion, he still said:

"Young Master Yan, what a coincidence! I never knew you had such a hobby."

"That's right. Who is our young master Yan? He's a well-known playboy in Jian'an. How could this place be complete without him?" Liu Man said with amusement.

Yan Chong was immediately indignant upon hearing this and said:
