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

Down the mountain, on the main street of the village.

The three of them strolled around like a family of three, creating a heartwarming scene.

Where are we going?

Shen Wan'er asked in confusion, for she had a deep memory of what was said about the unveiling yesterday.

"I'm not going anywhere."

Qin Huaiyu paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"We're just waiting to get caught."

"............" Shen Wan'er

"Brother, who captured you?"

The little girl was clearly traumatized by what had happened before; as soon as she heard that she had been arrested, a look of fear immediately appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu patted her head.

"Xiao Rui, don't be afraid. Don't you want to get justice for your parents?"

"think."

"Then trust your brother. Don't worry, I'm here, you'll be fine."

"Okay." The little girl nodded vigorously.

"Are you talking about the village chief?"

Shen Wan'er thought for a while and then she understood.

"That's right, times have changed. Now is the perfect time to be caught."

A smile appeared on Qin Huaiyu's face, and he looked ahead. "Hehe, they're here!"

Not far away, a group of villagers with unfriendly expressions ran towards them. They surrounded the three people, and the two burly men in the lead showed their fierce expressions. They quickly stepped forward and made a move to arrest the three people.

Qin Huaiyu took a step forward and grabbed the shoulders of the two people in front of him with both hands.

Instantly, the two burly men showed expressions of pain. They never expected that this seemingly frail young man would have such strength. Their shoulders felt as if they were about to be crushed, and they couldn't break free.

Is this even human?!

Terror was evident in their eyes.

"Don't touch us, we can walk by ourselves!"

Qin Huaiyu's gaze turned cold, and he released his hand.

The two burly men felt relieved, but their hearts were filled with apprehension. They waved to the people around them.

And so, the group of people carefully escorted the three of them as they made their way to the village chief's house.

"Are you going to expose them in public? That would be a huge risk," Shen Wan'er whispered a reminder.

High risk, high reward!

Qin Huaiyu was also quite helpless about this.

"The people here have become slaves to the true Buddha. Their faith must be dealt a devastating blow. Only in this way can they awaken from their ignorance and understand the heavy price that grace must be paid."

Of course, the most important thing is to take the opportunity to force the person behind the scenes to reveal their true colors, but this cannot be said outright.

"But what if they don't believe me?"

A ruthless glint flashed in Qin Huaiyu's eyes. "Then I'll suppress it by force. No matter what, I'll destroy this damned True Buddha!"

"...Make an example of him!"

Shen Wan'er's expression changed slightly, and she continued:

"The person behind it all?"

This was what she cared about most. The caravan had been killed by this person, and her father had disappeared, possibly dying in the mortuary as well. How could she not pursue this blood feud?

Qin Huaiyu gave her a deep look and said:

"Don't worry, it's part of his plan too, but it's not convenient to reveal it yet."

"........."

Shen Wan'er felt an urge to hit someone. This question was too torturous. The answer was right in front of her, but she just couldn't find it.

"Sister, sister."

The little girl pouted, her big eyes brimming with tears.

Shen Wan'er looked down and quickly asked, "Xiao Rui, what's wrong?"

"You're hurting me."

Shen Wan'er blushed and realized that she had been too excited just now, and unconsciously clenched her fists.

As you walk down the street, pain comes from your side!

Qin Huaiyu glanced at him furtively, then quickened his pace to create distance.

"..." Shen Wan'er

Soon, the group crossed the main street and walked a short distance east before being led into the mansion.

As soon as Qin Huaiyu stepped in, he saw countless people casting their gazes at him, filled with resentment, hatred, and ferocity, their eyes seeming to want to skin him alive.

A look of joy flashed across Old Zheng's wrinkled face. Sure enough, the little girl had been rescued by outsiders. Now that's settled, as long as I get rid of all these people, I can rest easy.

"Shen Jie!"

At this moment, Shen Wan'er also noticed her younger brother being held captive and immediately tried to run over.

Qin Huaiyu grabbed her arm. "Don't worry, these people can't touch him."

As he spoke, he led the two of them inside, and the villagers very consciously made way for them.

"Yes, it's him, he's the one who killed the village chief!" Shen Jie shouted angrily when he saw Qin Huaiyu.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wan'er's pretty face flushed with anger. "Shen Jie, what nonsense are you spouting? Shut up!"

Hmph, what a menace.

Qin Huaiyu was too lazy to pay attention to him now, and looked directly at Old Man Zheng, saying without any attempt to hide his true feelings:

"Old man, I don't know whether to call you stupid or too clever for your own good. You actually dared to arrest us. Don't you recognize her?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the somewhat timid little girl beside him.

"Hey, isn't that the Li family's girl? Why is she with outsiders?"

"Didn't she disappear when the young couple died suddenly?"

"What exactly is going on?"

...........

Some of the villagers recognized the girl and started talking about it.

Upon hearing this, Old Zheng remained unfazed.

"The Li family girl, a family that doesn't believe in the true Buddha, I never expected that she would walk with you villains. It's such a waste that the true Buddha spared her life."

"Why say so much? Now that the person has been caught, execute him immediately and give the village chief justice."

Old Zheng's wife looked righteous and awe-inspiring, but her big round face was rather disgusting no matter how you looked at it.

Once someone takes the lead, the villagers immediately follow suit.

"That's right, execute him! Execute him! Give the village chief justice!"

Qin Huaiyu's face darkened. "Fuck you!"

These villagers are so ignorant that they planned to kill people without even understanding the situation. No wonder the old man was so fearless.

Shen Wan'er's face was also extremely ugly. She hadn't expected that the villagers had been so corrupted by their faith that they couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

The little girl, terrified, hid behind her.

"Then let's do it. It'll also serve as a tribute to the village chief's spirit in heaven."

As Old Zheng spoke, he called out to the people.

Upon hearing this, several burly villagers stepped out from the crowd, carrying knives they had prepared beforehand.

"What should we do?" Shen Wan'er asked softly.

"snort"

Qin Huaiyu snorted coldly and said:

"Since you won't listen to reason, then let's take action!"

After saying that, he rushed out suddenly. Before the villagers could react, they saw a blur and he disappeared.

"Bang"

With a loud crash, Old Zheng was thrown to the ground. Before he could even figure out what was happening, a foot stomped heavily on his face.

Only then did the villagers realize what was happening, and they were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

"What are you doing? Let Old Zheng go!"

Old Zheng's wife was the first to come to her senses and shouted loudly.

Qin Huaiyu remained unmoved and sneered:

"Hehe, don't move, or I'm afraid I won't know where I'm going."

"...Don't move, don't move!"

Old Zheng, who was close to the ground, mumbled something indistinctly.

He was truly terrified. The force emanating from the boy's feet was immense, making his head feel as if it were about to burst, causing him excruciating pain.

He now understood the boy's words; it was truly foolish to capture them, as these people were not ordinary individuals.

Upon hearing this, none of the villagers dared to step forward again; they could only glare angrily and stare helplessly.

"...What do you want in exchange for their release?"

The round-faced daughter-in-law was extremely anxious, worried about her husband's safety.

If he dies, her current life of luxury and her strong man will be gone, and she might not even be able to protect her family.
