Chapter 212 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

Liu Da Dao thought of the woman surnamed Chu, and every hair on his body stood on end. Having traversed the martial world, Liu Da Dao had encountered formidable experts. Being a grandmaster martial artist, he had encountered several. However, none had possessed the overwhelming oppressive aura of the "Chu Master." A ninth-rank martial artist's legs could be broken by her at her whim, without any warning and resistance. It seemed like, to her, a ninth-rank martial artist was as insignificant as an ant, and she could easily take their lives with a snap of her fingers. Logically speaking, a person as formidable as her appearing in the martial world should not have gone unnoticed. Even if not notorious, there should have been some tales about her. Yet, after careful inquiry, Liu Da Dao found no information about this woman in the martial world. It was strange, but also fortunate. No one knew of "Chu Master's" existence, and therefore, no one knew about the legs of the Snake Tiger Gang's leader and three helmsmen being broken. After enduring for a month, once his legs have healed, I, Liu Da Dao, will be a hero in the martial world once again! Sitting inside the carriage, Liu Da Dao turned to Tie Peng Jun, who was seated in the sedan and said, "Elder Tie, you go first. It's polite to respect our elders and invite them to go first." Tie Peng Jun remained impassive. "Old friend, you go first. My health isn't great; I need to rest for a while." … In a side hall, He Yunxiao was busy eating, and once finished with the pork knuckles and roasted chicken, he realized that almost everyone had gathered in the main hall. Chu Chu asked, "When will you leave?" Due to Liu Feiyun's promise to help promote the gold and silver vouchers, He Yunxiao intended to keep his promise and not cause any trouble. "Right away, after I finish the dishes on the table. We shouldn't waste food." Watching He Yunxiao wolf down his food, Chu Chu sighed impatiently, "You eat like a starving ghost." He Yunxiao chuckled, "Hey, ever since... It's nothing. Chu Chu, just wait for a moment. I'll finish soon." Seeing He Yunxiao hesitating, Chu Chu deliberately ignored it as if she had some hidden agenda, and said, "You don't have to say if you don't want to." He Yunxiao:... But you asked me to tell you. He patted Chu Chu's hand and smiled, "Ever since I took the Soul-Devouring Pill, I have endless energy every day, sleeping until dawn, and eating so satisfyingly." Chu Chu turned away, "The Lord said, the Lord will find a solution." "Ruer is here." "The Lord will find a solution." "Alright, alright, I'll rely on the great Chu Chu to save me. I'll go have my meal then." "You..." Chu Chu hesitated. "What?" He Yunxiao said. "The Lord wants to cultivate." Chu Chu said. He Yunxiao: ? Weren't you just urging me to leave? Now you don't want me to leave and want to cultivate? "Then let me accompany the great Chu Chu." "No need. You eat your meal. The Lord doesn't need protection." After Chu Chu finished speaking, she didn't choose a spot to sit but closed her eyes directly. Soon, the flow of inner strength began to circulate along her meridians, continuously replenishing new inner strength to compensate for the deficit created by imparting skills to He Yunxiao. They were already sitting very close. When Chu Chu started cultivation, He Yunxiao moved his stool even closer to her. Even at such close proximity, He Yunxiao could not sense any fluctuation of inner strength from Chu Chu's body. This could only mean that she had meticulous control over her inner strength, not wasting even a bit, reaching a level of precision that could be described as terrifying. To this, He Yunxiao expressed indifference. After all, the process of imparting skills was the same every day. He had become accustomed to it. Minding Chu Chu's safety, He Yunxiao didn't eat too quickly. As the side hall quieted down, the voices from the main hall could be faintly heard. Chu Chu was practicing, and He Yunxiao had nothing to do, so he chose to eavesdrop. He soon realized that everyone had gathered; the "leader" was lecturing about something that didn't interest him. After a while, the food was served. The serving maid orderly went back and forth from the back door to the side hall, then passed the wing screen to enter the main hall and serve the senior martial artists. He Yunxiao glanced at the food served to the martial arts experts; it was similar to his. Liu Feiyun was quite thoughtful; the young man had potential. However, there was something that He Yunxiao didn't have – fruits. Such as peaches, apricots, plums, apples, grapes, and the like. He Yunxiao looked up at the serving maid and said, "Miss, can you help me..." 【Name: He Yunxiao Specialty: Handsome】 The serving maid was momentarily stunned, causing a dish to crash to the ground noisily. He Yunxiao:… Hearing the noise, Chu Chu opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" He Yunxiao replied, "Nothing, just that they accidentally dropped the dish." Chu Chu glanced at the serving maid, who was scrambling to clean up the mess, and said to He Yunxiao, "Someone is coming." Instead of trying to escape, He Yunxiao first found a veil and put it on Chu Chu. The man who came to check was a ninth-rank martial artist. As soon as he entered, he spotted He Yunxiao and demanded, "Who are you, and what are you doing here sneaking around?" He Yunxiao spread his hands, "Eating." The man looked at He Yunxiao's table and then at the scattered food on the ground. "Did you do this?" He Yunxiao quickly clarified, "It's not related to me at all." The man said, "Sneaking around, looking suspicious; obviously not a good person. Come with me to see the master." "How are we seeing him?" "Naturally, at the Swordsman Conference." He Yunxiao said, "I'm not going." "Not going? You have something to hide. It seems like you caused the food incident." Helpless, He Yunxiao said, "No, why don't you ask them? They will know if I did it or not, right?" The man laughed, "You are also a martial artist. Pushing someone with inner strength from a distance, undetected by mortals, asking them is futile." Once he had almost finished his meal, He Yunxiao couldn't be bothered with the showdown and said, "I cannot attend the Swordsman Conference, I am He Yunxiao." "He Yunxiao? A nobody." He Yunxiao: Wow, I’m a nobody! For some reason, upon hearing the words "a nobody," He Yunxiao felt his eyes welling up with tears. Finally, someone who doesn’t know me? Not being recognized by others feels amazing! This man was probably from another place for the Swordsman Conference, recently arriving in Yinjing and not having heard of this villain. He Yunxiao patiently explained, "Brother, I cannot attend the Swordsman Conference. You can ask Liu Feiyun why. I won't say anything more; I'm leaving after I finish eating. No need to accompany me." "Thinking of escaping?" the man retorted. He Yunxiao pulled Chu Chu to her feet, "What do you mean, escaping? I, He Yunxiao... forget it, ask Liu Feiyun. He will definitely recognize me, right? I’m leaving now, don't bother to see me off." The man became agitated when he saw He Yunxiao about to leave and bellowed, "Thief! Don't run!" He immediately launched his inner strength, revealing his ninth-rank prowess. Abundant internal energy surged from his dantian, then filled his meridians, as a considerable amount of internal energy dispersed from his body, causing his clothes to billow. The man shouted, "The Flow Family's unique skill! The Flow Cloud Technique!" Quietly watching, He Yunxiao silently applauded this ninth-rank martial artist. Well done, very spirited. Tl. Soothsayer.io
