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

Chapter 258 A Man's Ambition

Time passed

The blood-red sun sets in the west, the sky is filled with rosy clouds, and in the blink of an eye it is dusk.

Two maids walked together down the corridor, one carrying water and the other carrying soup.

"I wonder if Young Master Qin can stomach it."

"Give it a try. Miss values people so much, we can't be negligent. If she loses weight or her complexion changes, we can't bear the responsibility."

"That's true, but speaking of which, how exactly did Young Master Qin get injured? There don't seem to be many wounds on his body."

"Well, who knows? The abilities of cultivators are beyond our comprehension."

As they were talking, the two entered Chu Yanxi's room.

He looked up and paused.

next moment

A loud crash.

The basin of water hit the ground, followed by the soup bowl spilling out.

The two men's expressions changed drastically. The bed was empty; there was no one in sight.

"Where is Young Master Qin?"

"…Help! Help!"

.........

Yan Mansion

The guards at the gate remained in place, and the servants in each courtyard performed their duties as usual.

Everything seemed unchanged, but upon closer inspection, a sense of desolation permeated the air; the halls were empty, and the study was deserted.

Even the people who usually roam around are nowhere to be seen.

A crisp "snap"

A figure leaped down from the roof of the small courtyard in the southeast and rushed into the house.

indoor

Yan Chong stood with his back to the audience in the hall, looking up at a painting hanging in the center.

The scroll depicts a woman in a light pink gauze dress, with a graceful and charming figure.

Her beauty was breathtaking; her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, and her eyes were like autumn waters rippling across the surface, giving her an ethereal, otherworldly appearance.

"That is?"

The newcomer made no attempt to conceal his identity and spoke directly.

Yan Chong remained calm and showed no surprise, saying:

"My mother, a foolish woman, was deceived and used by Yan Changsheng, and in the end, she gave up her life for me!"

As he spoke, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry, I brought up something that upset you!"

"It's alright, I've already experienced the pain, I'm numb to it now!"

As he spoke, Yan Chong turned around, forcing a smile, and said:

"Brother Ba, no, I should call you Brother Qin. Your identity is truly a mystery."

That's right, the person who came was Qin Huaiyu. He had actually been aware of it when Chu Yanxi and the others left.

Unfortunately, his soul injury hadn't healed at the time, so he couldn't move; otherwise, they would have left together long ago.

Fortunately, Yan Chong was the one who made the move. The other party left a message through the Blood Spirit Insect, so he rushed here as soon as he woke up.

"It's a last resort, and I should be able to understand it based on your experience."

Qin Huaiyu wasn't curious at all about his identity being exposed, since it was no longer a secret; anyone who paid a little attention would know.

Even if Yan Chong didn't investigate, he should have learned something from Yan Changsheng.

Yan Chong smiled, not caring at all, and in fact, he had no right to care, since he had always been the same way.

"Brother Qin, you are too kind. To have reached this level without any background or foundation is truly an example for us all."

"You flatter me. Don't be so kind. I was just trying to protect myself."

After Qin Huaiyu finished speaking, not wanting to waste any more time, he went straight to the point:

"Let's get down to business. The message you sent that the Yan family has a teleportation array, and that the Yan family members have already used this array to travel to the ancient land, is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chong suppressed his smile, then nodded and said:

"I didn't know before, but yesterday Yan Jing appeared in the mansion. Yan Changsheng summoned the main members of the Yan family for a meeting. In the afternoon, everyone disappeared."

I was puzzled at the time; none of the servants in the house had seen anyone leave, yet the person had vanished.

"So I took advantage of the fact that no one was around to investigate the entire Yan residence, until today I discovered the clues."

The side hall was inexplicably cluttered with many unfamiliar marks.

Upon closer inspection, a large secret chamber was indeed discovered inside, containing a large teleportation array.

At this point, his expression darkened, and he continued:

"When I came out of the secret room, I still had doubts, but after learning about the ancient land, everything became clear."

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

Forehead………

Qin Huaiyu paused for a moment, then asked somewhat embarrassedly:

"Brother Yan, are you sure you are Yan Changsheng's biological son?"

"..." Yan Chong.

"You weren't picked up from some garbage dump, were you?!" Qin Huaiyu's words were sure to shock.

Yan Chong rolled his eyes and said:

"I think at least this way I'll feel better!"

…Indeed, this isn't a biological child, it's clearly an outsider!

Qin Huaiyu increasingly felt that Yan Changsheng was a complete scoundrel, and that he had done absolutely nothing human.

Not only did he treat his son as a vessel, but to prevent the vessel from slipping out of his control, he didn't even give him a chance at a great opportunity like the ancient land.

That's definitely the behavior of an animal.

So, it seems Yan Chong knew nothing about it...

Finding the teleportation array was truly a difficult task for him.

"Brother Yan, I understand you. You're better off without this father."

Yan Chong smiled bitterly, not wanting to continue this topic; it would only be self-humiliating.

"Alright, enough jokes, time to go!"

After saying that, he quickly led the way.

Did I laugh? My cheapskate father treats me the same way!

Qin Huaiyu pursed his lips and then quickly followed.

The house feels fresher now that Yan Changsheng is gone.

The servants greeted him with smiles, completely ignoring Qin Huaiyu's presence.

"Aren't you afraid that Yan Changsheng will come back and settle scores with you for walking around like this?" Qin Huaiyu asked softly.
