Villain: I Am Wronged, Master, I Am Really Not A Scumbag

"Xiao Xingyun, can you handle it?"

"Why did your master only give you a silk handkerchief and draw a protective symbol on it? That's too perfunctory!"

"If your master is always sticking to you, why would I need to give you a magic weapon? By then, the imperial soldiers of Yaochi Sacred Land will all be yours! Even the Quasi-Emperor wouldn't dare to look at you!"

"Work hard, understand?"

Lin Rong smiled eagerly and gently pinched Lin Xingyun's cheek.

Lin Xingyun was speechless, thinking that Lin Rong didn't know about his master's involvement in something ominous and his greatly weakened strength.

It was already quite difficult for his master to spend effort and give him an imperial talisman for protection. Its power could even withstand the great Imperial Law in Jun Wangu's hands.

But he still solemnly assured Lin Rong.

"I understand, I understand very well! You can rest assured, Fourteenth Ancestor!"

"Mm, be careful on your own, don't neglect your cultivation."

"Xiao Luoluo is still waiting for you, remember to come back early."

"Mm, I understand, take care, Fourteenth Ancestor."

The graceful figure of the bright yellow dress appeared in Lin Xingyun's mind, and he restrained his expression, respectfully bidding farewell to Lin Rong.

Lin Rong's phantom smiled and gave some instructions before gradually turning into specks of light and dissipating into the world.

Together with the book "Smoke Strategy," they all turned into dust.

However, Lin Xingyun had already firmly remembered every word.

It could be said that in this world, besides Lin Rong and Liu Qiuyan herself, he was the person who understood his master the most!

"Just now... was that the Fourteenth Ancestor?!"

"The Fourteenth Ancestor is truly... awe-inspiring! Lin Mo, the unworthy descendant, thanks the Fourteenth Ancestor for saving me!"

Lin Mo looked towards the sky, unable to suppress his admiration, and began to kowtow towards the place where Lin Rong's phantom dissipated.

At the same time, he secretly marveled that the rumors in the clan were indeed true.

Their Second Young Master was truly favored by the Fourteenth Ancestor!

Lin Xingyun didn't stop him, but he noted his loyalty and protective actions today.

He had already planned to send a message back to the clan and greatly reward this Elder Lin Mo.

The Lin Family disciples in the distance were also filled with joy of surviving the disaster, cheering and kowtowing non-stop!

As for the remaining forces, seeing that all the imperial might had dissipated, they didn't dare to stay for a moment and scattered in all directions like birds and beasts.

Lin Xingyun instructed Lin Mo to collect all the bodies and Universe Rings of the Jun and Ancient Imperial clans.

He took away all the flesh and blood remains.

After selecting some treasures that were useful to him, he bid farewell to Lin Mo and the others.

At this time, the immortal ship of Yaochi Sacred Land remained in place, no longer daring to wait for Lin Xingyun!

The Elder Gan Cang, who was in charge of leading the team, was now trembling with fear.

After all, he had faced the pressure of the two Quasi-Emperors from the Jun and Ye families before.

He chose to be wise and protect himself, not even saying a word in defense.

If the Sect Master found out about this, it wouldn't end well!

Lin Xingyun landed on the immortal ship riding on Bai Ze and glanced at him, calmly giving instructions.

"Elder Gan, don't return to Yaochi for now. Escort me to Sangzhou."

"Yes, yes! Swordmaster, please!"

Gan Cang dared not disobey in the slightest and immediately dispatched people to activate the Immortal Boat, heading straight for the Sangzhou in the south.

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

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

Seven days later, within the Sangzhou, one of the three thousand Daozhou.

It was now dusk, amidst a vast mountain range.

There was a small village nestled by the mountains and water.

Smoke rose from the village, seemingly an ordinary mortal realm.

But on the outskirts of the village, there was a hidden barrier that emerged from the ground.

It emitted a faint white mist, firmly protecting the village.

Before long, a massive Immortal Boat descended here, hovering in the air.

Bai Ze carried Lin Xingyun and Qin Diyao as they stepped out into thin air.

Zhao Hanyi continued to rest in her own cabin.

Her physical condition had suffered some depletion.

Although Lin Xingyun had helped her regulate along the way and fed her many precious pills, allowing her body to recover significantly, she still needed more rest.

After Bai Ze landed, Qin Diyao had already transformed back into her human form.

She held a beast tooth and opened the barrier surrounding the village.

Bringing Lin Xingyun and Bai Ze inside.

"The residents inside are all monster beasts."

Lin Xingyun stepped into the village and glanced around.

He saw various monster beasts bustling about.

Their bloodline powers were quite strong, each one full of vitality.

But it seemed that their cultivation levels were not too high.

And they acted leisurely, mostly cooking, drinking tea, and fishing.

There wasn't much of a diligent cultivation style.

There were also many young beasts frolicking and shuttling through the village.

Then they were called back home by their own parents.

Although occasionally one could hear some screams from mischievous children, it could be considered a harmonious atmosphere.

"This is our monster beast settlement."

"Although everyone has good bloodlines, they have no interest in external conflicts and just want to live their lives here."

"With the barrier set up by Aunt Shen guarding, the village has always been safe."

Qin Diyao casually introduced.

In her words, she seemed to be more accepting of her own identity as a monster beast.

"The atmosphere is indeed quite good, a place suitable for lying low."

Lin Xingyun saw that the monster beasts around him only cast curious glances, without any hostility or exclusion, and couldn't help but comment.

But then he looked at Qin Diyao and suddenly had a strange premonition.

"The monster beasts here are all so peaceful."

"Only this little cat and the one called [Lone Star Cursed by Heaven] seem to hold deep grudges."

"Will anything happen here in the future? Should I be cautious?"
