Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

"Back then, in Baiyue, Right Sima Li Kai fell in love with the eldest daughter of Huoyu Gong and gave her Huoyu agate as a token of their affection."

His gaze swept over the warm, lustrous agate at Nongyu's waist, and Nongyu subconsciously touched her chest, her heart racing.

"Lieutenant Liu Yi, greedy and jealous, colluded with the 'Three Wolves with Broken Hair' to rob Fire Rain Manor, steal its treasures, and silence witnesses."

Qin Chuan's tone was chilling.

"Liu Yi is a wicked man, even more vicious than before. On the battlefield, he deliberately refused to aid Li Kai, leading to the annihilation of his entire army and Li Kai's 'death'!"

Exposing betrayal on the battlefield, every word is like a knife.

"Li Kai 'died in battle,' Liu Yi seized military power, and shamelessly married the eldest daughter of the destitute Huo Yu Gong—Lady Hu!"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes.

"Among the 'Three Wolves Who Cut Their Hair,' one of them managed to escape Liu Yi's clutches. To seek revenge, he changed his name and joined Ji Wuye's forces, adopting the alias 'Vulture,' and lay low, waiting for his chance!"

His gaze, sharp as lightning, pierced the vulture:

"You are the jackal who survived!"

The truth was ruthlessly revealed, and it was bloody!

Although Zi Nu knew that Liu Yi was no good person, she did not know that there were such deep sins and betrayals behind him!

Mo Ya and Bai Feng were also awe-inspiring. They only knew that Wu Jiu and Liu Yi had a personal feud, but they did not expect it to be such a deep-seated blood feud!

Qin Chuan's gaze finally settled gently and firmly on Nongyu.

The girl was already pale, and when she heard "the eldest daughter of the Fire Rain Duke" and "the token of their love, the Fire Rain Agate," the huge shock made her delicate body tremble slightly.

“Miss Nongyu,” Qin Chuan’s voice carried a comforting power, “the Fire Rain Agate you wear is the very token of love that Li Kai gave to your mother. You are the biological daughter of Right Sima Li Kai and Madam Hu!”

Nongyu was struck dumb, and suddenly stood up, clutching the agate on her chest with both hands. Her clear eyes were instantly overwhelmed by shock, confusion, disbelief and immense sorrow!

Tears fell silently.

So... she wasn't an orphan!

Her father was Li Kai, a loyal and brave man who was wrongly accused! Her mother was Madam Hu, whose brows were always furrowed with sorrow!

Zi Nu was also deeply shaken. Her gaze towards Nong Yu was filled with pity, and she felt a complex mix of fear and apprehension towards Qin Chuan's methods.

The vulture stared intently at the agate at Nongyu's waist and her face, which vaguely resembled Madam Hu's, and let out an unintelligible roar from beneath its mask.

“No…it’s impossible…” Nongyu’s voice trembled.

"Though the truth is painful, blood ties are hard to sever." Qin Chuan's voice was steady and powerful. "Miss Nongyu, do not grieve. General Li Kai did not truly die back then."

Everyone was shocked once again! Even the vultures suddenly raised their heads!

"He is still alive, but he is wandering aimlessly." Qin Chuan's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling firmly on Nongyu's tearful eyes. "Now that this secret has been revealed, I will take full responsibility. I promise you, I will do everything in my power to reunite your family of three!"

"reunion……"

This word was like warm sunshine, instantly dispelling the gloom in Nongyu's heart. Overwhelmed with joy and hope, she burst into tears, looking at Qin Chuan as if she were seeing the light of salvation.

The last trace of doubt in Zi Nu's heart completely disappeared.

Qin Chuan's actions not only revealed the truth but also made a solemn promise!

This kindness is as vast as a mountain and as deep as the sea for Nongyu!

She took a deep breath, put down the teapot, and bowed solemnly and deeply to Qin Chuan, her voice filled with unprecedented sincerity and respect: "Young Marshal, your kindness is boundless! On behalf of Nongyu, I, Zinu, thank you for your great kindness!"

This gesture of respect is an expression of the submitter's recognition and gratitude for the Lord's commitment.

Nongyu also bowed gracefully, her eyes brimming with tears: "Nongyu... thanks the young marshal! I will never forget the young marshal's kindness!"

Mo Ya and Bai Feng witnessed everything, their awe of Qin Chuan's shrewdness and profound promise deepening. A faint sense of belonging quietly began to grow within them.

Qin Chuan accepted the greeting without hesitation, then turned his gaze to the vulture. The gentleness vanished instantly, leaving only a cold scrutiny and an undisguised look of disgust.

"Your grudges are merely the prelude to settling old scores. Liu Yi will naturally pay the price."

He paused, his tone suddenly turning as cold as the winds of the deepest hell, carrying a resolute determination to thoroughly cleanse away filth, "As for you..."

The vulture sensed the chilling killing intent, its body trembled violently, its eyes flashed with a final frenzy and will to survive, and it made a threatening hoarse sound in its throat as it tried to struggle.

Qin Chuan's eyes remained completely calm, devoid of any emotion. He didn't even stand up; instead, he flicked his right index finger, which held the teacup, very slightly in the direction of the vulture.

A finger strike, condensed to the point of being tangible, was faster than the visual senses could perceive, carrying a sharp, soul-tearing whistle that instantly pierced the vulture's brow!

The vulture's body stiffened abruptly, all its struggles and howls ceasing abruptly. The eyes beneath the mask, once filled with terror, resentment, and unwillingness, instantly lost all their luster.

A thin but deadly line of blood slowly seeped from between his eyebrows.

He remained in a struggling posture, then fell straight backward, crashing onto the floor with a thud, and died instantly.

The whole process was breathtakingly fast!

From the moment the wind was released to the vulture's death, only a breath had passed!

Qin Chuan didn't even glance at the corpse, as if he had merely flicked away an annoying mosquito.

He withdrew his finger, picked up the teacup, and took another sip, as if what he had just crushed was not a notorious life, but merely a speck of dust.

The private room was deathly silent.

Nongyu was so shocked by the sudden killing that she covered her mouth, her face turning even paler.

Zi Nu's pupils shrank suddenly, and her heart was filled with shock!

Qin Chuan killed Wu Jiu so casually!

The ease with which he took lives, the disregard for life and the absolute power to control life and death, sent chills down her spine.

At the same time, she also fully understood that in Qin Chuan's eyes, vultures were not even worth using, and only by completely eliminating them could she maintain the "cleanliness" of her forces.

This coldness and arrogance is chilling.

Mo Ya and Bai Feng were also startled. Looking at the vulture's rapidly cooling corpse and then at Qin Chuan, who was still calmly sipping tea in the main seat, a chill rose from the soles of their feet.

They knew the vulture's strength and ferocity better than Zi Nu, but in front of Qin Chuan, they were so vulnerable!

This instantly elevated their awe of the new ruler to its peak, and made them more clearly aware of the weight of the ironclad rule: "Orders must be obeyed, and traitors shall die."

"Drag it away and clean it up." Qin Chuan put down his teacup, his voice calm and indifferent, as if he were merely instructing someone to dispose of a piece of trash.

The vulture's carcass was quickly dragged away like garbage. The thick stench of blood in the private room had not yet dissipated, but Qin Chuan seemed detached from it all, his fingertips gently stroking the rim of his teacup, his gaze calm as still water.

“Liu Yi…” Qin Chuan’s voice broke the brief silence, carrying a sense of composure as if he were in control of the whole situation, “This villain is deeply sinful. Every moment he lives is a desecration of the dead.”

His gaze shifted to Mo Ya, who stood to the side, his aura restrained.

Having experienced the shock of capturing the vulture and witnessing its instant annihilation, Mo Ya's posture became even more respectful, and deep in his eyes was absolute awe of power.

"Ink Raven." Qin Chuan's command was clear and cold. "You, impersonate Vulture."

Mo Ya's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly understood Qin Chuan's intention—to frame someone!

The death of Liu Yi was ultimately attributed to the revenge of Wujiu, a remnant of the "Three Wolves with Broken Hair"!

This was not only to avenge Nongyu's family, but also to completely sever the connection with Wujiu, confuse Ji Wuye, and shift the blame to the "traitors" within "Hundred Birds".

"Understood!" Mo Ya bowed his head and accepted the order without hesitation.

As the king of birds, imitating the vulture's appearance, moves, and even its sinister aura was not difficult for him.

More importantly, he knew that this was the first major test of his abilities and loyalty by the new Lord.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly and added, "Clean and efficient, using the methods vultures are known for, creating a scene of revenge. Then,"

He paused, a barely perceptible glint of light flashing in his eyes, “'Abduct' Madam Hu.”

"Kidnapped?" Zi Nu's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Qin Chuan.

“That’s right. Madam Hu is a key witness in this case and also Nongyu’s mother. Keeping her in the Liu residence will only make her a target for questioning by Ji Wuye or others, or even for silencing her.”

Qin Chuan's gaze swept over Zi Nu, carrying an undeniable air of control:

"It's perfectly reasonable for the 'Vulture' to abduct her after taking revenge. This would both protect her and allow her to reunite with Li Kai and Nongyu."

He looked at Nongyu, whose eyes immediately filled with gratitude and concern.

"Remember, you must leave conclusive evidence at the scene to prove that the perpetrator is Vulture, one of the 'Three Wolves with Broken Hair'!"

Qin Chuan looked at Mo Ya again, his tone becoming more serious:

"When he robbed Fire Rain Manor, did he leave behind any unique objects or traces that could prove his identity?"

He was guiding Mo Ya to set up the scene.

"Yes! The 'Three Wolves with Broken Hair' are criminals who habitually leave a special kind of dart on the victim, coated with a certain poisonous herb from the Baiyue region, shaped like wolf fangs!"

Mo Ya's mind raced, and he immediately replied:

"Although the vulture has not been used for many years, it must have a collection in its private chamber! I can 'borrow' one and leave it on Liu Yi's corpse!"

"Very good." Qin Chuan's eyes showed satisfaction. "Go. Before dawn, I want to hear the news of Liu Yi's death and Madam Hu's 'disappearance' throughout Xinzheng."

This timing coincides perfectly with the capture and killing of the vulture and the surrender of the black crow and white phoenix, forming a perfect logical loop.

"Yes, sir!" Mo Ya replied in a deep voice, his eyes filled with a mixture of murderous intent and the excitement of his act.

He immediately turned around, his figure disappearing into the shadows like a ghost, preparing to carry out his mission of framing and assassination. Bai Feng instinctively wanted to follow, but Qin Chuan stopped her with a look.

“Bai Feng,” Qin Chuan’s voice carried a hint of tempering, “you have another purpose. Be ready to serve at any time.”

Bai Feng immediately stopped and stood respectfully with his head bowed: "Yes, sir."

After dealing with Liu Yi, Qin Chuan turned his gaze to Zi Nu, with the air of a master assigning tasks to a subordinate: "Zi Nu."

"Young Marshal, please give your orders."

Zi Nu immediately lowered her head in response, her posture respectful.

The intelligence network of Zilanxuan is now one of the sharpest hidden weapons in Qin Chuan's hands.

"Li Kai, the Right Sima, has been bearing a deep-seated blood feud for many years."

Qin Chuan spoke slowly, as if stating a future he had long foreseen:

"The vulture is dead, and Liu Yi is about to perish. The string of revenge in his heart is stretched to its limit. He will definitely sneak into Xinzheng soon to find Liu Yi and settle old scores!"

Zi Nu was once again awestruck by Qin Chuan's insightful observations. He seemed to know everything about everyone's movements!

"Use all your informants to closely monitor all city gates, main roads, and... the area around Liu Yi's residence in Xinzheng!"
