I am the villain in the book

On December 25th, Wei Changtian and his group finally returned to the capital.

Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen finally saw their beloved Xiao Hongsu.

The latter, needless to say, held Xiao Hongsu in her arms, looking at him over and over again, filled with joy.

Even Wei Xianzhi, who rarely smiled more than a few times a year, revealed a rare smile, muttering "This is good, this is good," completely different from the feared Commander of the Suspended Mirror Division.

As the "number one contributor" to Xiao Hongsu's birth, Liang Qin's status in the Wei family naturally rose. As soon as she arrived at the Wei residence, she was called away by Qin Caizhen, inevitably followed by a round of caring inquiries.

Xu Qingwan and the others couldn't temporarily "gain status through their son," but they certainly wouldn't harbor resentment, at most just a little envy.

And so, the group settled down in the Wei residence, and the large mansion gained a lot of vitality as a result.

The day after returning to the capital.

Because the people who returned this time had all lived in the capital for a period of time, long or short, they didn't have the freshness and restraint of "Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden", and soon became busy with their own affairs.

Early this morning, Xu Qingwan took large bags and boxes of gifts to visit her parents.

Lu Jingyao was the same, almost leaving the Wei residence by carriage before and after Little Xu, returning to her parents' home.

So the treatment the two daughters received upon their return can be imagined, and it is estimated that they will inevitably stay at their parents' home for a few days.

As for Yang Liushi, the only one who was "homeless".

Although she had no family, she had several good sisters and maids during her time as a courtesan in the capital.

Since following Wei Changtian to Shu Prefecture, Yang Liushi had lost contact with these people, so this time she could just go and see her old friends.

Just like Wei Changtian had said to Xu Suihui before, in fact, everyone is not completely dependent on him for existence.

Everyone has relatives and friends, and their own lives and pursuits.

And Wei Changtian only appears in their lives as a husband, son, elder brother, father, etc., and then accompanies them on a journey, long or short.

Including Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu.

Wei Changtian didn't know if his "fate" with these two people could be considered to have come to an end, but the various things that had happened would never disappear.

The "intelligence ceiling" repeatedly offering advice, the "golden medal fighter" repeatedly turning the tide.

Frankly speaking, if it weren't for Chu Xianping and Qin Zhengqiu, Wei Changtian felt that he would have been played to death by Ning Yongnian and others long ago.

So, if one day his journey with these two people really comes to an end, he still hopes that there will be a good ending.

Even if it seems unlikely now...

"Changtian, is there still no news from your grandfather's side?"

In the study, Wei Xianzhi and Wei Changtian stood side by side in front of the window, their eyes falling on Qin Caizhen and Liang Qin, who were talking in a nearby gazebo.

"No."

Wei Changtian shook his head and turned to ask, "Is my mother okay?"

"How could she not be sad that your grandfather has become like this."

Wei Xianzhi sighed: "Alas, I have seen her secretly wiping away tears in the middle of the night several times, thinking that she is worried."

". It's my fault."

Wei Changtian paused and said softly: "It would have been better if I hadn't given the Tiaoyue Sword Manual to my grandfather back then."

"You can't say that, who can know what hasn't happened yet."

Wei Xianzhi withdrew his gaze, walked to the table and sat down: "The most important thing now is to find your grandfather as soon as possible, and then put an end to this matter."

"Yes, I understand."

Wei Changtian also walked to the tea table and sat down: "It's just that grandfather is almost controlled by his inner demons, and when the time comes..."

"."

Speaking of this, Wei Changtian didn't say any more, and the room fell into a long silence.

Because both of them knew that this would be a very difficult choice.

If Qin Zhengqiu came to their door one day, then Wei Changtian certainly couldn't sit still and wait for death, and the Wei family would naturally stand on Wei Changtian's side.

But in this way, Qin Caizhen would undoubtedly fall into an extremely difficult situation.

On one side is her husband and son, on the other side is her biological father.

If only one side can survive in the end, then no matter who survives, she will definitely suffer for the rest of her life because of it.

Undoubtedly, this is certainly not what Wei Xianzhi and Wei Changtian want to see.

So...

"Father, I'll do my best."

After a long silence, Wei Changtian finally said slowly: "I will try not to conflict with my grandfather."

"If it really can't be avoided, then I will try to save his life, so that my mother may not be too uncomfortable."

"Yes, that's the only way."

Nodding, Wei Xianzhi seemed to think that the atmosphere was a bit too heavy, so he relaxed his tone and asked with a smile: "What about Chu Xianping? I heard that you sent Li Zimu to inquire about his information?"

"How is it? Have you found out anything?"

"Not yet, Zimu is still investigating."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "I estimate that this matter will not be small."

"Is that so... Oh, right."

Wei Xianzhi's voice paused, as if he had remembered something, and suddenly said: "Recently, the Suspended Mirror Division and the Zhan Shifu have sent back some information from various countries, saying that many large sects have suddenly closed their mountain gates, I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter."

"Closed the mountain gate?"

Wei Changtian was stunned, this was the first time he had heard of this matter.

Although the intelligence network in his hands is also very large, it is mainly concentrated in Ning, Shu, and Feng, and the affairs of foreign countries are indeed a bit behind.

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Wei Changtian couldn't figure out what connection the closure of the mountain gates of various sects had with Chu Xianping, but he just felt a little strange.

After all, who would close the mountain gate for no reason, and so many sects together.

This clearly shows that these sects know some information, and then made the same response.

To be able to make everyone react so consistently, this matter must be of great importance.

But such a big thing, how could the intelligence agencies in his hands, including the five countries of Ning, Shu, Feng, Chu, and Han, not know?

This shouldn't be.

Unless...

Suddenly, Wei Changtian's eyes froze, and his expression changed a little in an instant.

Because he understood why he hadn't heard any rumors before.

There is only one possibility, that is, the spread of this information is "directional".

Someone told some things to specific forces, and then these forces kept their mouths shut, and even did not hesitate to close the mountain gate to prevent any leakage of information.

In other words, the person who leaked the information this time did not want this matter to become as well known as the "Thirteen Sons of Heaven", but shared it with a small group of people for certain purposes.

Obviously, this group of people does not include himself.

He may even be the one who is being heavily concealed.

If these guesses are true, combined with Chu Xianping's previous sentence "Don't leave Shu for half a year"...

His eyes widened suddenly, and Wei Changtian finally established a connection between this matter and Chu Xianping, and finally understood why Li Zimu was willing to use so many resources to find out the truth as soon as possible.

Because at the latest six months later, the world格局 will undergo a complete change.

And only one thing can have such a huge impact.

That is someone has ascended to immortality.
