I am the villain in the book

"You bastard!!!"

As soon as Li Wutong reverted to her true nature and angrily shouted this sentence, she ran into the Princess Manor, leaving Wei Changtian standing alone.

However, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even understood why Li Wutong had that "change" before.

It seems she still has feelings for me.

Tsk tsk, she's quite persistent.

Frankly speaking, although Li Wutong's actions didn't achieve the desired effect, Wei Changtian didn't dislike it that much.

He even found it quite rare.

Well... maybe it's because there are too few women who are so "bold in love and hate" these days.

Judging from their expressions, they must have witnessed the scene just now.

"Ahem, Brother Chu."

Smiling as he walked over, the gossip fire in Wei Changtian's heart instantly burned fiercely: "This is?"

"Young Master, this is Miss Song Li."

Chu Xianping said as he gently tugged on Song Li's sleeve, and the latter came back to her senses, quickly giving Wei Changtian a curtsy.

"This humble woman, Song Li, greets Young Master Wei."

"Oh? You know who I am?"

"Yes, Young Master Chu mentioned it to me just now."

"Is that so?"

Wei Changtian's smile grew even wider, and he turned to look at Chu Xianping: "Brother Chu, it seems you're planning to have Miss Song stay in the Princess Manor for a long time?"

"Yes."

Chu Xianping cupped his hands a little awkwardly: "There are still more than ten days until July 15th. It's inconvenient for Li'er to live outside, so I thought of bringing her here for a few days, hoping for the Young Master's approval."

Li'er?

Good heavens, they're already calling each other so intimately?

Chu Xianping, ah, Chu Xianping, I usually think you're a very honest person, so you're the repressed type!

"Of course, there's no problem with that. Just tell the Princess later."

After all, with Song Li present, Wei Changtian had to save some face for Chu Xianping, so he suppressed the urge to tease him and simply nodded with a smile: "Alright, let's go in first."

"Yes."

"..."

Stepping forward again, the three of them entered the Princess Manor together, and then stopped at the fork in the front yard.

Wei Changtian was going back to his room to change clothes and wait for dinner, while Chu Xianping and Song Li were going to see Li Wutong.

After all, this was her territory, and bringing an outsider to stay required the owner's consent.

"Brother Chu, remember to come find me after you settle Miss Song in. I have something to discuss with you."

"Yes, Young Master."

Chu Xianping nodded in response, and Song Li also gave another salute, politely adding—

"Young Master, take care."

"Mm."

Wei Changtian nodded to the two of them, and was about to leave, but then suddenly stopped and looked at Song Li: "Miss Song, I have something I want to ask you."

"Ah?"

Song Li was stunned, and quickly lowered her head and replied: "Young Master, please ask."

"Hahaha, you don't have to be so nervous..."

He glanced at Chu Xianping, who also looked a little puzzled, and Wei Changtian softly asked: "Miss Song, are you sincere towards Brother Chu?"

"..."

From the moment Wei Changtian finished speaking to the moment Song Li opened her mouth, there were at least three breaths of silence.

During these three breaths, Chu Xianping's face first stiffened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly relaxed the moment Song Li gave her answer.

"This humble woman is sincere."

Turning her head to look at Chu Xianping, Song Li softly said: "Brother Chu doesn't dislike my background, and he also redeemed me. I will never be able to repay this kindness in my lifetime, I only ask to be able to stay by Brother Chu's side."

"I hope Young Master Wei will grant our wish."

From "Young Master Chu" to "Brother Chu", the change in Song Li's address to Chu Xianping immediately cheered the latter up.

And Wei Changtian thoughtfully took a deep look at her, and then replied with a meaningful sentence.

"Miss Song, just rest assured."

"If you are sincere, I will naturally grant your wish."

"..."

A quarter of an hour later.

"Young Master, what are your orders?"

The door was pushed open, but the person who came in was not Chu Xianping, but Du Chang.

"Sit."

Wei Changtian put down his teacup, and only after Du Chang sat down properly did he slowly say: "Brother Du, Brother Chu brought back a woman from outside today, named Song Li."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Chu has already fallen for this woman, but..."

Wei Changtian smiled and didn't finish his sentence, but Du Chang already understood what he meant.

"Young Master, within three days, I will find out the details of this woman."

"Mm, remember not to let Brother Chu know about this."

"I understand."

Du Chang nodded solemnly, and after asking some questions about Song Li, he then spoke of another matter.

"By the way, Young Master, according to the date, if Bai Youheng decides to return to Fengyuan, then he should arrive in the next few days."

"Is that so?"

Hearing Bai Youheng, Wei Changtian's expression immediately became serious: "Have the previous plans been arranged properly?"

"Everything is ready."

Du Chang replied in a deep voice: "Now, 80% of the people in Fengyuan City have left, and only exits are allowed, no entry. No matter where Bai Youheng enters the city from, he will not be able to avoid our eyes."

"As long as he dares to show his face, his whereabouts will definitely be under our control."

"That's good then."

Although he wasn't sure if Bai Youheng would really come, Wei Changtian still didn't want to let go of this "1500 points".

"Remember, don't act rashly after you discover him. Be sure to notify me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Young Master."

Outside Fengyuan City, Little Leaf Mountain.

Fengyuan is located on a plain, with no high mountains for hundreds of miles around.

Therefore, this small hill with an altitude of only a hundred meters is fortunate enough to be given the name "Mountain".

However, although the mountain is not big, it is also lush and full of life.

In stark contrast to this are the yellowish-brown shacks stretching for several miles at the foot of the mountain.

Since it is still unclear whether Yama has been killed, Li Qi, out of caution, did not allow the people to return to the city, but temporarily resided outside the city, and would make the next plan after July 15th depending on the situation.

Under such circumstances, the living conditions of nearly ten million people are naturally not good. Most of those who have relatives and friends in other places have gone to rely on them. Basically, only two to three million remain near Fengyuan City.

If this number of "displaced people" is not handled well, there will inevitably be major problems.

Fortunately, this is a world of cultivation, and doing many things is much easier than in ancient times, so now it is barely passable.

"Young Master."

Standing in a shack, the strong man glanced at the magnificent Fengyuan City in the distance, turned his head and said to Bai Youheng: "Now, each city gate of Fengyuan only allows exits and not entries. We can only enter from the city wall."

"The city wall is not safe either."

Shaking his head, Bai Youheng immediately rejected the strong man's suggestion, and after a slight pause, he slowly said in the latter's surprised gaze:

"At midnight tonight, go to the north of the city."

"We will enter from the palace."
