Zongman, start your journey to godhood by saving the heroine of anime

At the gate, when the villagers were brandishing weapons, the village chief, who was standing behind the crowd, noticed that the young man seemed eager to join in, but was stopped by the girl beside him.

The village chief couldn't understand where Bai Ye got such confidence, but seeing the fearless expression on Bai Ye's face when they looked at each other, his wisdom accumulated over the years made him decide to take a step back.

Returning to the scene of their confrontation, just as the atmosphere was incredibly tense and the young man accompanying the village chief was about to step forward to apologize and ease the tension, the old village chief suddenly burst into laughter.

"That's right! That's how He Manni is sometimes. She can be a bit crazy, and she's very embarrassed when she misbehaves towards guests!"

This time, Sergius's tone was three points lower than the first time he apologized.

"Hehe, then the village chief should keep this mad dog on a leash from now on."

Bai Ye coldly picked up the conversation. Since the other party had already taken the initiative to back down, Bai Ye did not hold onto that point.

Feeling Victorique tug at his sleeve from behind, Bai Ye simply turned around and gave the girl a reassuring look.

"This is the second time. I'm only letting it go because of Victorique. But remember, there won't be a next time!"

Although Victorica didn't want Bai Ye to take action, Bai Ye wouldn't stand by and watch his wife suffer in front of him.

"Young man, you've got quite the nerve!"

Seeing that Bai Ye was going to make a few sarcastic remarks to him before the end, the village chief's polite smile returned to his expressionless face.

"Do you want to test whether I'm being arrogant or not?"

Bai Ye was eager to try again.

"Humph!"

This time, the village chief didn't dare to reply. He just snorted coldly, gave the blond youth beside him a look, and then turned and left the house without continuing to entertain the crowd.

"Um... I'm so sorry, please let me continue to entertain you from now on!"

"By the way, my name is Amproz, and I am the assistant to the village chief of Sergius."

Bai Ye glanced at the young man, but this time did not reply.

So Amproz took over the work that the village chief hadn't finished and arranged rooms for the six people.

Just as I was about to leave, Victorique called me back.

"and many more!"

"what?"

Amproz was a little curious, wondering why this little girl had suddenly called out to him.

"Could you tell me about my mother, Cordelia?"

As if afraid the young man in front of him wouldn't understand, he emphasized it again.

"It's about the incident where they framed my mother for murder!"

"Ah...this!"

Amproz seemed somewhat troubled, but then he saw Victorica's expression, which suggested she was determined to get to the bottom of things.

To prevent the two from asking others and causing further conflict, Amproz found a place to sit down and began to tell Victorica his story.

"Because I didn't experience that thing myself, I only heard about it from the older generation in the village."

Before telling the story, the young man first put on a layer of armor for himself.

"It is said that this happened when Cordelia was just fifteen years old. At that time, like He Manni, Cordelia was also a maid in the former village chief's house."

"Because the maid had the responsibility to go to the village chief's room at midnight to change his water, Cordelia took advantage of the water-changing time to kill the former village chief."

"Wait, how can you be sure my mother went in at midnight!"

Victorique suddenly seized the opportunity to ask a question.

"It seems to be because of the current village chief. Elder Sergius, who was an elder at the time, spoke with Cordelia before she went in. The elder said that when he was talking to her, he looked at his pocket watch and the time was midnight."

"By the way! But what's really strange is that the time that several people who were with the elder at the time gave afterward didn't match the twelve o'clock the elder said after looking at the pocket watch."

"A pocket watch?"

Victorique suddenly seemed to have grasped something.

"Besides pocket watches, what do the other people here use to keep track of time?"

"It seems to be the Big Ben in the village chief's room. It chimes at a fixed time every day. What's wrong?"

Amproz was somewhat curious.

"It's nothing, please continue!"

Victorique did not explain this to the young man.

"Oh well!"

"Then it seemed that Cordelia screamed and ran out of the old village chief's room. When Elder Sergius and the others arrived, they only saw that the old village chief Theodore had been stabbed to death with a dagger."

"Oh right, I think there were a lot of gold coins scattered on the ground at the time."

"gold?"

Victorique raised the question again.

"That's right, because our village doesn't use gold coins for transactions at all, so all the gold coins in the village are managed by the successive village chiefs."

"I later heard from some villagers that Cordelia wanted to take the gold coins and escape from the village, which is why she killed the village chief."

"Ha! A girl who grew up in a village where they don't use currency to trade would actually kill the village chief for gold coins?"

Amproz's words almost made Bai Ye laugh.

However, Victorica simply continued to frown, her gaze becoming even more sharp as she questioned him.

"In the story you've told me, it seems like no one actually saw my mother kill the village chief!"

"And if my mother really wanted to kill someone, why would she be the first to scream and attract everyone's attention?"

"I don't know about that."

Amproz adopted an innocent tone and shrugged.

"However, I seem to have heard that it was because of insufficient evidence that Chief Shergis only drove Cordelia out of the village after taking office."

"Actually, I also felt that there seemed to be something fishy about this matter, but after so many years, the villagers have long since identified Cordelia as the culprit who murdered Chief Theodor."

"Click!"

The sound of a cup falling to the ground behind them interrupted their conversation, and everyone immediately turned to look.

It was the maid, He Manni, who had appeared at the door at some point, carrying several cups.

Fortunately, the village chief's house used silver teacups, so the cup that fell to the ground did not break.

However, the maid, He Manni, who seemed to have overheard the entire conversation between the young man and the maid, did indeed show extremely excited emotions.

"Cordelia is a sinner! She murdered the village chief! That night, Chief Theodore treated her so well, and she..."

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap knocked He Manni to the ground.

Bai Ye stood looking down at the woman.

"Shut up!"

With his right hand gripping the woman's neck, Bai Ye lifted He Manni up and slammed her against the wall with one hand.

"I think I just said that was the last time!"

"Waaaaah~ Waaaah~"

It seemed that Bai Ye was too strong, because the maid who was being choked could not make a sound when she tried to speak.

He could only frantically wave his limbs, but it was completely ineffective against Bai Ye.

At this moment, the young man Amproz, who had just realized what was happening behind him, rushed forward and grabbed Bai Ye's arm.

"Um... He Manni didn't mean it, Mr. Bai Ye, could you please put her down first?"

"Ok?"

"You like this woman?"

Seemingly sensing the hint of affection in the young man's tone as he pulled her, Bai Ye's initial goodwill towards Amproz, which had arisen from their earlier conversation, vanished instantly.

Bai Ye knew perfectly well that no matter the era, being love-struck was never a good thing. No matter how rational or intelligent a person was normally, the moment their love-struck side kicked in, they were just a lunatic!

“Um…yes, Mr. Bai Ye, could you please let go of He Manni? He wasn’t with the village chief just now and didn’t hear you say the warning.”

Seemingly realizing that he couldn't pull Bai Ye away at all, Amproz adopted an urgent tone and advised Bai Ye to let go.

However, Bai Ye only responded to the young man's advice with a cold look, remaining unmoved.

"Hey, Bai Ye, let her go! If you kill her now, it'll put me in a very difficult position."

At this point, Victorique, who had been watching all along, finally spoke up.

Upon hearing Victorica's words, Bai Ye instantly understood the meaning behind the girl's words.

If we were to eliminate the key figure who framed my mother here, the subsequent reasoning would become extremely difficult.

That's right, Victorica didn't actually care whether Bai Ye killed He Manni or not.

The reason Bai Ye was stopped this time was simply because the clues about He Manni had not yet been fully uncovered.

Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, but finally released his grip on the neck.

However, after releasing the woman and letting her kneel on the ground, Bai Ye did not intend to completely let her go.

With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Bai Ye unleashed the pressure of his own life level, which carried a trace of divine power, at the target.

"Although I'm letting you off this time for Victorique's sake, you still have to kowtow to Victorique and admit your mistake!"

"me...."

Feeling an oppressive pressure that made it hard to breathe even after being released, He Manni, who had originally wanted to act out, finally gave in.

He knelt on the ground and obediently said "I'm sorry!" to Victorica.

"Hmph! You two... better watch yourselves!"

Holding Victorica's little hand, Bai Ye finally felt a sense of relief as he was pulled out of the mansion.

Only then did Amproz dare to step forward to check if his beloved was alright.

However, Amproz failed to notice that He Manni was only staring at the departing figures of Bai Ye and the other person, her fearful eyes filled with hatred and madness!

Chapter 49 Victorique and Divination

Meanwhile, Bai Ye, who had already left the mansion with Victorique, had no idea what was happening inside.

She was leisurely led by Victorique to the place where her mother used to live.

The place was completely abandoned, and the villagers seemed to be very wary of it, unwilling to go near it. The tables, chairs and benches were covered with a layer of dust, and the corners of the walls were covered with cobwebs.

Standing in the very center of the house, Victorica discovered a loose floorboard. She pried it open and found a dusty photograph that someone had placed inside.

Victorique picked up the photo and looked at it.

"Is this what you looked like when you were a child, Victoria?"

Bai Ye feels very cute.

The photo shows a young Cordelia breastfeeding an infant Victorique.

"Someone must have been here!"

"They took something from my mother and left behind this picture of Cordelia!"

Victorique looked nostalgic.

"Now, the fragments of chaos are almost completely gathered!"

Finally, Victorique brought White Night to the tombstone of the previous village chief, Theodore.
