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

Playing innocent, feigning helplessness, and leading people astray – isn't that just being a green tea bitch?

Qin Huaiyu was disgusted. In his previous life, he had watched many mindless short dramas, and those green tea girls made people grit their teeth in hatred.

Putting aside the fact that their methods were underhanded, their intentions alone were utterly disgusting.

However, this second young master of the Yan family is considered a top-notch green tea bitch, at least he has successfully risen to power.

But people…

"I've been in Jian'an for some time now, why have I never seen this person before?" he wondered.

Liu Mingyue shook her head and said:

"I don't know either. Yan Jing hasn't shown his face for more than half a year."

Uh, more than half a year?

Why can green tea be so quiet and not cause trouble?

Qin Huaiyu didn't believe it at all.

"The Yan family is really hard to figure out."

"They're from a prestigious family, after all. It's not that easy," Liu Mingyue said.

It's somewhat difficult, but it's not necessarily hopeless.

Qin Huaiyu had an idea in mind, his worried brows relaxed, and he said:

"Your question has been answered. Thank you very much, Miss Mingyue."

As he spoke, he stood up.

"Why are you leaving as soon as the transaction is complete?" Liu Mingyue asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Otherwise what?"

Liu Mingyue pouted and said:

"You're already a guest of honor, won't you have a few drinks?"

Qin Huaiyu smiled and said:

"Alcohol emboldens the timid, and faced with such beauty as yours, I fear I may find it difficult to control my emotions."

"Then it's up to you." Liu Mingyue's eyes were alluring.

"really?"

As Qin Huaiyu spoke, his gaze roamed unabashedly over the woman's curvaceous figure.

It has to be said, this woman is truly a bewitching enchantress. She has a hot body, with curves in all the right places. She is clearly a stunning beauty, yet she also possesses an ethereal quality. She is truly like a fairy and a demon.

Seeing that fiery gaze, Liu Mingyue felt as if she were being burned, and her pretty face instantly turned red.

This young man is so bold...

but…………

She sensed something amiss and, not daring to detain him any longer, quickly said:

"It's fake, it's all so shady, hurry up, hurry up."

Hmph, woman, I can't get rid of you now.

Qin Huaiyu laughed even harder at the sight of that embarrassed and angry expression.

"Haha, let's go!"

After saying that, he strode out of the room.

Corridor

Qing'er was still waiting. When she saw people come out, she bowed and greeted them.

"Please wait, young master."

Qin Huaiyu nodded and then quickly went downstairs.

Five floors, and you reach the bottom in an instant.

Perhaps it was too late, because there were not many people left in the hall, only a few scattered people were still drinking.

Qin Huaiyu glanced around and, seeing no familiar faces, went out.

"I feel like something's missing since I arrived?"

The streets were deserted, and he felt a sense of peace and quiet. Suddenly, Qin Huaiyu realized what was happening.

"Where is the old Taoist priest?"

Upon closer thought, he frowned.

"No, it seems that the old guy disappeared in Qingfengfang after Qing'er finished setting the questions."

They won't go upstairs, will they...?

"What a rascal! He's never still for a moment."

.........

Fifth floor

The warmth still lingered on Liu Mingyue's face, making her look rosy and adorable.

"I should have known better than to tease him, or I'd made a fool of myself."

"You filthy man, you filthy man, you're absolutely wicked!"

"Miss, who are you talking about?"

Just then, a voice came.

Liu Mingyue quickly looked over and saw Qing'er, dressed in a green dress, with an oval face and delicate features, looking at her.

"Nobody, just a nuisance."

"Oh, it's Young Master Qin, isn't it? What were you doing just now? Why is Miss's face so red?" Qing'er teased.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingyue's face flushed even more.

"I didn't do anything, don't make wild guesses, I'm just hot."

"Autumn has arrived and it's already cool, how could Miss feel hot? I think she's just shy." Qing'er smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Fine, fine, Qing'er, you even dare to tease me? Be careful, or I'll have someone send you back." Liu Mingyue said, both embarrassed and angry.

Upon hearing this, Qing'er's expression changed, and she quickly said:

"No, no, Qing'er was wrong, you can't send me back."

With those old guys around, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause if we go back.

With a mistress around, she can be protected; without a mistress, she's like a fish on a chopping board, easily manipulated by others.

"It's good that you admit your mistake."

As Liu Mingyue spoke, she suppressed the chaotic emotions in her heart, and her expression gradually became serious.

And then the oppressive feeling of the only one in power spread.

This transformation seems to give people the wrong feeling of a girl turning into a queen, which is truly a polarization.

"Let's get down to business. How's the investigation going?" she asked.

Upon hearing this, Qing'er changed her attitude completely, stood up straight, and said:

"Our spies have gathered some information; Liu Man's visit this time is likely related to the Yan family."

The Liu family head seemed to have sensed something amiss with the Yan family quite early on, and had sent people to investigate, but to no avail. Basically, all the spies we'd placed in the Yan family had vanished without a trace. As for Yan Chong, since he didn't find anything, he was probably just there for fun.

Is he really a good-for-nothing?

Liu Mingyue narrowed her eyes slightly and said:

"What about that old Taoist priest? What's his background? He's very shady; he's tried to climb to the fifth floor to explore the secrets more than once."

Qing'er shook her head. "The orthodox Taoist sect, Tianyi Sect, has already reported that there is no such person."

"Unorthodox, independent cultivator?"

"I don't know."

"Find someone to continue the investigation."

"Yes"

Liu Mingyue was somewhat displeased and asked again:

What's the current situation with the Li family?

The young lady is angry...

Qing'er felt a pang of panic and stood up straighter, like a javelin.

"The Li family remains the same as always; although they are investigating the Yan family, they are not taking much initiative."

Is this just for show? The Li family is up to something, what the hell?

Liu Mingyue frowned and said:

"It seems we can only rely on him now."

"Miss, there's something I'm not sure if I should say?" Qing'er's brows furrowed slightly, showing some hesitation.
