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

Forehead?

Qin Huaiyu asked in confusion, "What's your identity?"

Feng Yunming took two steps closer and whispered:

"Outsiders don't know this, Jia Yu's real name is Yan Lang, originally from a collateral branch of the Yan family in Jian'an City. He was brought here because his branch committed a mistake!"

"Jian'an City, the Yan family?"

"You don't know this."

Feng Yunming carefully considered his words and said:

"Besides the Prefect's Mansion, Jian'an City also has three major families: the Liu, Li, and Yan families. These three families are very powerful, and as far as I know, they are all cultivator families with many high-level cultivators!"

This tactic sounds so familiar. Is it a case of provoking the small and then the big one comes along?

Qin Huaiyu frowned and said:

"Uncle Feng, do you mean Jia Yu will inform the Yan family?"

"That's a possibility. Your Qin family suffered at the hands of the Yan family before, and now you've offended them terribly. Even though you've been demoted, you're still a member of the Yan family. It's hard to guarantee that someone from Jian'an won't come!"

Damn, it's true! But why are you only saying this now? Isn't this just hindsight?

Qin Huaiyu really wanted to curse at the town mayor.

Well, the black-robed man hasn't been dealt with yet, and now the Yan family has appeared. They think they're living too easily.

Hearing the conversation, Shen Wan'er's heart tightened, and she quickly asked:

"Uncle Feng, what should we do? We can't just watch Huaiyu get into danger!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yunming pondered for a moment.

"The best course of action now is to go out and avoid trouble. Jian'an City is quite a distance from the town, and even if Jia Yu sends someone to inform us, it will take three or four days. There is still time."

They ran away...

Qin Huaiyu couldn't accept it. He hadn't even had a few good days before he was going to have to wander around. Wasn't this pure self-torture?

Furthermore, it's not certain. Even if it's certain that the Yan family will send someone, is it worth sending experts for a collateral branch? The probability is extremely low.

Even if I do know it, I'm not an inanimate object. If I can't beat someone, I'll just run away. Secret techniques aren't just for show.

Besides, that man in black robes used me, and I won't be satisfied until I get to the bottom of this.

"We'll see how it goes, there's still time!" he replied.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wan'er's pretty face showed worry.

"Huaiyu, now is not the time to act rashly. We need to hurry, or it will be too late once others arrive. I'll go with you!"

Xiao Xi, your affection is so touching, it really moved me.

Qin Huaiyu smiled at her and said:

"You don't even trust me anymore? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"But........"

Shen Wan'er was stopped by Qin Huaiyu before she could finish speaking.

"There's no 'but' about it. With you here, I wouldn't risk my life!"

Shen Wan'er originally wanted to persuade her, but upon hearing these words, her pretty face immediately turned red, and she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Feng Yunming felt a sudden ache in her teeth. What was going on? How did a crisis turn into a love triangle?

What a talented person! I've learned something!

After Qin Huaiyu had calmed Shen Wan'er down, he looked up at the beautiful figure on the balcony.

"Miss Shiyu, Jia Yu is not as simple as you think. Please be careful."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wan'er's blushing face instantly changed color. She looked at the beautiful woman on the high platform, whose skin was as white as snow, whose red lips were luscious, and whose beautiful eyes were charming. She was no less beautiful than herself, and Shen Wan'er immediately became wary.

As if sensing her presence, Shiyu looked at her and smiled, but the slightly upturned corners of her lips seemed to carry a hint of provocation.

"Thank you for your concern. Young Master Qin, please be careful as well!"

Oh my god, you two...

Qin Huaiyu immediately noticed something was wrong; the atmosphere was far too tense!

What is all this? It's just one sentence, why such a big reaction? A woman's heart is truly unfathomable.

He decisively pulled Wan'er up.

"Let's go!"

On the balcony.

Watching the receding figure, the maid Xiao Hong frowned and said:

"Miss, Miss Shen seems unhappy!"

"Little girl, you don't understand, she's just jealous."

"oh!"

Hong'er nodded blankly. "Then, Miss, why do you look unhappy?"

".........Is there? No!"

Shi Yu turned and walked into the house with a stern face, leaving Hong'er staring unhappily at the disappearing figure on the street.

............

"Thump, thump!"

"Close the doors and windows to prevent theft."

The old night watchman, banging his gong and chanting slogans, walked the streets like a lonely ghost, his desolate figure resembling a wandering soul.

Those inside the Jia family mansion heard it very clearly.

"It's already past midnight, and the master is still sitting there. What has happened?"

"Who knows? Why don't you go ask them?"

"I'm not going to go looking for trouble!"

Several servants whispered among themselves.

"You lot need a good beating!"

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in satin walked over. He stood ramrod straight, rubbing two balls in his hands, and stared intently at the servants with his small eyes raised high.

"Steward Yang... I only meant it unintentionally, please forgive me!"

The servants were so frightened that they immediately begged for mercy.

"You know you're wrong, so why don't you get out of here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several servants hunched over and fled the scene as if they were running away.

"A bunch of lowlifes!"

Butler Yang looked at the fleeing man with disdain, then turned his gaze to the main room. His expression changed instantly, and he put on a fawning smile as he bowed and went inside.

"Master, what's wrong with you? It's past midnight and you haven't eaten. Don't let yourself get sick from starving."

A crisp "snap" sound.

Jia Yu slammed the cup he was clutching onto the ground and shouted:
