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

"What are you talking about?"

Chu Yanxi was greatly puzzled. She looked at the skull in Qin Huaiyu's hand, and with a thought, she immediately showed a surprised expression.

"This skull actually has a divine imprint, and there are also restrictions blocking it."

Seeing this, Yun Suyan explained:

"This skull contains divine teachings, said to be supreme teachings from ancient times."

"The supreme Dharma!"

Chu Yanxi was startled and asked:

How did you know that?

Yun Suyan didn't hide anything, and recounted how they were tricked when they first arrived in Jian'an and how they captured the mercenary cultivators.

Chu Yanxi pondered for a moment and said:

"So, you've already clashed with the Black Cloud Stronghold before even entering Jian'an?"

Yun Suyan nodded.

"So, in that case, solving the case later, and the clues left inside Black Cloud Stronghold..."

At this point, Chu Yanxi immediately understood. She looked at Qin Huaiyu and said:

"You deliberately let Zhai Tianlin arrest you to confirm his identity, and you also deliberately provoked him so that he would take the opportunity to retaliate and fall into the trap you set."

This guy has a huge scheme going on; he has a complete grasp on human nature. Even I would fall into his trap step by step.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not doing this for the sake of divine law. This skull is just a side effect. The main purpose is to punish evil and promote good."

Qin Huaiyu said in a serious tone.

No problem. My main goal was to solve the case. Although my purpose wasn't entirely to gain favor and obtain the Heavenly Grass, I was still doing a good deed.

As for the so-called compassion, there is a little, but not much.

After all, living in a nightmare world, the Holy Mother would only harm herself.

The divine method is something that must be included, or even essential, but it can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.

Chu Yanxi glanced at him and said:

"It's a good thing, but you don't have much kindness in your heart."

Qin Huaiyu immediately objected, saying:

"What are you saying? If you lived here, I'd be considered a model citizen no matter what."

"Three good things?" Chu Yanxi raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm... Good back, good kidneys, good legs."

"..." Chu Yanxi, the first two "good" are understandable, but what does "good legs" mean?

Yun Suyan secretly glanced at it, and thought, "Hmm, it looks pretty good."

"So don't doubt my good intentions. What bad intentions could a model student have?"

Qin Huaiyu smiled, then glanced at the sky and continued:

"It's getting late. Let's pack up and study this supreme Dharma together."

Upon hearing this, both women shook their heads in unison.

Chu Yanxi spoke first, saying:

"This method is yours since you obtained it. Sister Yun and I are both at the Divine Realm, so we don't need it. Even if it is a supreme method, we cannot damage our foundation and destroy our realm to start over. Besides, the methods we cultivate are not necessarily inferior to it."

Yun Suyan continued:

"The law is not to be passed on to six ears. It is an ancient rule that it cannot be taught to anyone other than relatives and friends. This is a guarantee for you and for others."

Otherwise, she would have already passed on the Blood Shadow Tower's techniques to her younger brother.

The law is extremely important to all schools and families, and it has always been a closely guarded secret. If it is discovered that someone has privately taught it to an outsider, not only will the person be punished, but the other person will also face death.

Qin Huaiyu, however, did not take it to heart and said:

"It's just a law, there's no need to be so particular about it. No matter how precious it is, it's still just an object, not nearly as important as people."

Both women were moved upon hearing this; to be trusted so much in this nightmare world was truly precious.

Moreover, this trust comes from Qin Huaiyu, which makes it even more important.

"Little brother, you should break the restriction on your skull first. We can deal with the rest later," Yun Suyan said.

After hearing this, Qin Huaiyu did not insist.

So the three of them each collected some of the things on the ground.

Unable to resist the two women's insistence, he took the two most precious items.

That nightmarish flower, and that ancient halberd.

I'm currently reading Chapter 204 of the Heavenly Scripture, completely absorbed in it.

In their words, "distributing rewards based on merit is reasonable and justifiable."

After taking Zhai Tianlin's money, the three of them, in the spirit of treating everyone equally, each thoroughly searched the man in black.

Although these people's cultivation level wasn't very high, they were still gods, so they must have some good stuff.

Complete the battlefield cleanup.

Seeing that he could no longer stay in the offering hall, Qin Huaiyu immediately lit another bonfire in the courtyard.

The three of them sat down casually.

"Come on, the two of us will guard the pass for you."

Chu Yanxi didn't mince words and said directly that she also wanted to see if this skull contained any supreme magic.

Qin Huaiyu held the skull, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The cultivator said that this divine sense imprint has powerful restrictions, and he didn't know if he could break them with his current cultivation level.

Forget it, worrying is just overthinking. Why not give it a try and see?

With this in mind, he extended his divine sense into the skull.

Amidst the ruins, a ball of light emitting a faint golden glow floated up and down.

Qin Huaiyu did not feel any discomfort, but he did not dare to underestimate it and carefully approached.

Unexpectedly, the divine thought was able to invade the consciousness without any obstruction the moment it touched the divine sense.

This is……?

Qin Huaiyu was taken aback. He could sense that the restriction was indeed present, very strong, and also contained a strong killing intent.

The energy that could be restricted felt strangely familiar, as if it shared the same origin as him, without any sense of rejection.

Same as the Golden Liquid…

Could it be that the seed of rebellion belongs to him, or is there some other connection between the two...?
