Fairy, I really am a villain!

"..."

After putting the hairpin away, Luo Qingni walked away mumbling without saying anything else.

~~

At the Fang Mansion, the three people looked at the scene on the sky with gloomy faces.

Before one wave of troubles subsided, another wave arose. First, the divine soldiers came out together, and then the Dharma bodies fought against each other. In a short period of time, the outside of the city became an extremely terrifying battlefield.

Various aftermaths hit the Demon-Slaying Formation on the city wall, causing ripples to appear. Even ordinary outsiders did not dare to approach it due to its might.

Li Muyou was about to rush over immediately, but was pulled back by two insiders. Among them, Wang Ningzhu knew more and said, "You can't help if you go over. Just listen to what he has to say."

"This...how many things have you hidden from me?"

Even though she was very patient, Li Muyu felt a little aggrieved at the moment. She was clearly the one doing all the work, but Fang Xiwen didn't tell her anything.

Until those words that sounded like a confession came out from the sky:

"And now the blood card is broken, and the bloodline is revealed, showing that I am not the descendant of Marquis Xuanping, and I have nothing to do with the Fang family of Shendu!"

"I am now returning my identity and announcing to the world that I, Fang Xiwen, have never committed any crime against the Third Young Master. I have always been alone!"

The voice was not loud, but it sounded unusually loud to her.

Turning her head slowly, she asked Fang Qingxiao softly, "Is this what you've been hiding from me?"

"Ah."

"Xiwen has no blood relationship with us, he is just a 'stranger', right?"

"Ah."

"...Okay." Li Muyu accepted it quickly.

Although she was surprised by this fact, she felt more of a sense of loss for which she couldn't explain, and her heart felt a little empty.

It was as if the bond between the two of them, called "family", had been forcibly severed.

Wang Ningzhu didn't care about this at all. After all, he had heard it once before. He said with some emotion: "At the beginning, I thought his frugal habits were great, and I thought he was untainted by the mud, but actually... heh."

She also felt that she had good taste.

"As for the 'sin' he mentioned," Wang Ningzhu pondered for a moment and asked, "Qing Xiao, did he suffer a lot in the past because of his identity as the 'Third Young Master'?"

"Yes." Fang Qingxiao recalled and nodded.

As an emerging family, the Fang family's influence is mostly in the capital. If they go out, they can only have connections, private soldiers, and resources.

Pian Fang Xiwen knew his identity from the beginning, so he almost never borrowed these things, and always thought about not getting them into trouble.

Although he did not enjoy these benefits, his notoriety spread far and wide. For example, local sects have always been at odds with the imperial court. For them, a person like the Third Young Master, who has a bad character and weak strength, is simply a perfect target for insult.

When he was in Yiling, Fang Xi had been trampled on several times, including being robbed by bandits for his meals, being given the cold shoulder by a mere Sword Sect deacon, and being targeted by Shen Xingyao...

Not only is he discriminated against, but he also has to bear the blame for something he has never done. Not only that, in order to avoid being discovered, he has to force himself to pretend to be that playboy, and then little by little "change" back to his original personality.

Is it awkward?

Extremely awkward.

Obviously, he could do whatever he wants with this identity and live happily under the protection of the Fang family, but Fang Xiwen has to endure bullying everywhere and is always careful about this and that——

It turned out that he had been waiting for this day.

Waiting for the day to be freed from the shell of "Third Young Master", waiting for the day to be cleared of the grievances, waiting for the day to cut ties with the Fang family without taking a penny.

Nothing to do with it!

One day off for New Year's Day

Spend time with my family and sort out the outline of the next volume.

I wish all book friends a happy new year and may all their wishes come true~

Chapter 411 Return of All

In the inner house of the Fang Mansion, in the wing where Fang Xiwen once lived, the air had become somewhat heavy since the separation declaration was made.

After talking for a while, Wang Ningzhu leaned back in his chair and sighed, "I may not be nice to the other party by saying this, but I think Xiwen has suffered a lot being trapped in this identity."

"You're right." Fang Qingxiao did not avoid the question.

In fact, after being told the truth, she sometimes wondered how Fang Xiwen felt when her soul was examined, how she felt when she was forced to admit a sin she did not commit, and how she felt when she called her sister.

But he never told these things to others. Only at the last moment could one force him to reveal some of his true feelings:

'I think I fell in love with you the day you cleared my meridians.'

But the only thing that is certain is that Fang Xiwen has never had the intention of harming anyone, otherwise Jianxin would have noticed it.

"So, the blood card breaking is a good thing for him..." "But I'm angry."

Interrupting Wang Ningzhu's words, the eldest sister showed some anger on her face, "How can he still say that?"

Was it because she didn't slap him hard enough, and his feelings were not conveyed?

Regardless of identity, all I want is you!

"Stop!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Muyou immediately scolded her and said, "Don't you understand?!"

"what?"

"Only if Xiwen says this, the entire Fang family will become the 'victim' of his deception! It seems that he is saying that the sins of the past have nothing to do with him, but in fact, he is also saying, 'The sins he is committing now have nothing to do with the Fang family'!"

Among the three people present, Li Muyu thought most clearly from the perspective of the Fang family, but his voice gradually became smaller, "As long as this is done, the Fang family can avoid the emperor and others' accountability and get away with all the troubles..."

By the same token, the more anxious and distraught Marquis Xuanping is on the battlefield, the safer he will be if Emperor Yuan of Jin pursues him.

Not only was the backbone saved, but the entire Fang family was also safe.

Not only that, they have established a very deep relationship with the Wang family and the Yun family during this period of cooperation. Not only do they have a place in the emerging Wang Party, but also include the previous Song family's industry, Shi Zimiao's new chamber of commerce, etc.

Just like Fang Qingxiao comforted her before, Li Muyou took the initiative to pull her hand and said softly:

"You don't handle the affairs of the palace, so you know very little."

"In fact, with Xiwen's help, the Fang family is no longer the newly emerged family that was loyal to the royal family and isolated. We have established enough relationships and have many bargaining chips in hand."

"For example, if Marquis Xuanping wanted to leave Shendu right now, no one would stop him. Do you believe it or not?"

He looked up at her silently, nodded, and said nothing more.

There was silence in the room for a moment.

Li Muyu stood up and walked to the wardrobe. He pulled it out and saw the clothes inside were neatly arranged: embroidered robes, silk sashes, headscarves, jade plaques, cloud shoes...all the things that should have belonged to the third young master were in there.

Looking at the desk again, the pens, inkstones, books and picture albums are all in order, not missing a single thing, as if the owner of the room was just away on a long journey and would be back soon.

"From the beginning, he never thought about taking anything from the Fang family. He even felt that he was taking someone else's identity and owed them a lot."

"That's why I try not to cause trouble and help the Fang family in every way."

"You can say you won't take anything away, but actually..."

Li Muyou pressed his fingers hard on the table, his body trembling slightly, with drops of water falling down his cheeks. "To us, he is the irreplaceable thing. He said he would return everything, but he obviously took away the most important thing! Woo..."

This sadness is not even because he is heartless, but a kind of destined powerlessness.

Once the truth is revealed, even if everyone wants him to stay, the relationship will never be the same as before.

"I don't care so much!"

Very rarely, Fang Qingxiao slammed the table and stood up, with sword energy in his eyes, and said angrily: "I will go and catch him now, and he will never dare to be 'unrelated' again!"

"Don't even think about it."

Just as she was about to step out of the door, a silver spear blocked her way like lightning. Wang Ningzhu stood outside the door. Although his eyes were complicated, his movements were very firm. He said, "I won't let you go. Don't let Xiwen's efforts go to waste."

"...Do you really want to stop me?" Fang Qingxiao asked in a low voice. The sword intent in her eyes was on the verge of exploding, and her hand pressed on the hilt of the sword.

It is no exaggeration to say that this full-strength sword can kill two Luo Wenlongs.

"Oh," Wang Ningzhu smiled without being anxious, "Look at you guys crying, it's not like there won't be a chance for us to see each other again in the future."

As if he had found a life-saving straw, Li Muyu in the room suddenly looked over.

Miss Wang laughed and shook her head, "Why are you looking at me? To use an inappropriate analogy, a married woman from an ordinary family can only return to her parents' home if she cannot survive without her husband's family. She has no choice. But do you have no choice?"

After all, he is not a member of the Fang family. Wang Ningzhu, who is outside the situation, has a more intuitive view and knows that Fang Xiwen is the one who has no choice, and this is just a stopgap measure at the moment.

It was because he was too weak and unable to protect the people around him that he resorted to this desperate measure and took all the blame on himself.

"He scolded all the officials, provoked a fight between his Dharma bodies, and was favored by the sect and the court. He was able to escape unscathed after scolding the saint... These 'feats' seemed very cool in the eyes of others, but if it were Xiwen..."

"He'll probably feel a little guilty."

As he spoke, Wang Ningzhu's eyes showed admiration, and he smiled brightly and said, "In fact, he must be very proud in his bones. When he entered Yingtian Gate, all the officials knelt down, but he never bent down."

Instead, she would be bullied by them, probably just because Fang Xiwen liked them.

"After all, Xiwen dared to call the emperor of Dajin a tyrant in front of the whole world." Li Muyu wiped his tears with his fingers and smiled, "He said he would not abandon me, so it must be true."

"Hmm...hmm." Miss Wang seemed to have discovered something was wrong.

Could it be that both sisters like...? Impossible.

"what are you guys saying?"

After a pause, Fang Qingxiao took his hand off the hilt of the sword.

It wasn't that she understood what they said, but it was difficult to beat Wang Ningzhu in a short time, so the eldest sister hesitated.

"Have you seen these officials?"

Without any hesitation, Wang Ningzhu pointed at the purple and red robes on the sky, snorted and laughed:

"On the one hand, I think the lives of ordinary people are not important, and Xiwen has ulterior motives in bringing the incident to the emperor;"

"Emperor Yuan of Jin was so frightened when he coughed twice that he cried for his parents and couldn't even walk straight."

"I believe that one day Xiwen will come back and make these people kneel down and apologize to the whole world just like he broke Yang Tianxiu's spine."
