I am the villain in the book

A quarter of an hour later, inside a secret room located in the mansion's basement.

In the flickering candlelight, Wei Changtian closed the hidden door tightly, then took a deep breath and looked back at Xu Sui Sui, who still had an excited expression.

“Sit down.”

Xu Sui Sui was taken aback, then curled her lips: “Aren't you asking the obvious?”

“...”

Without directly answering, Wei Changtian casually placed the Starry Night Saber's scabbard on the table, then continued to ask:

“Did you used to be called Xu Sui?”

“...”

Looking at the dark scabbard, Xu Sui Sui couldn't help but shrink her neck.

“Yes, that's right...”

“How old are you?”

“Before, I was twenty...”

Xu Sui Sui suddenly seemed a little excited: “Now I'm eighteen!”

“...”

Heh, woman.

Wei Changtian rolled his eyes, then asked: “Where are you from?”

“Same as you!”

Xu Sui Sui returned a roll of her eyes: “Why is it always you asking me? You haven't even told me if you're a transmigrator too!”

“...”

Transmigration.

The moment he heard this word, Wei Changtian's pupils couldn't help but contract slightly.

Although he had already guessed it, when the guess became a fact, his emotions inevitably fluctuated violently.

He sighed in relief, and after slightly calming down, Wei Changtian's tone also relaxed a lot.

“I'll finish asking you first, then you can ask me later... okay?”

“Okay.”

Xu Sui Sui wasn't considered unreasonable. Seeing that Wei Changtian's tone was no longer as harsh as before, she gently nodded: “Then you can continue asking.”

“Mm.”

Wei Changtian reached out and poured two cups of tea, pondered for a moment, and then asked again:

“How long have you been transmigrated here?”

“Hmm... half a year.”

“Then what was the date before you transmigrated?”

“It was March 6th of 2020! The day of my birthday!”

“...”

Good heavens, dying on her birthday, this one is even more awesome.

Wei Changtian cursed in his heart, but at the same time, he also came to a conclusion based on his own transmigration time—

The timelines of the two worlds are not corresponding.

Because his transmigration time was in February of 2020.

The difference in their transmigration time in their previous lives was only one month, but in this world, it's half a year.

So, in all likelihood, there is no absolute connection between the two.

After thinking about it simply, Wei Changtian didn't dwell on this too much, took a sip of tea, and asked again:

“By the way, how did you know about me?”

“Because of 'Spring River Flower Moon Night'!”

Xu Sui Sui immediately perked up: “I heard that in Da Ning, there was a Young Master Wei who wrote this poem shortly after I transmigrated!”

“Then I packed my luggage and ran over to find you! But who knew that Da Qian was so far from Da Ning? It took me half a year to get here!”

“Uh...”

Wei Changtian was a little dumbfounded: “So you spent the last half year traveling?”

“Yes!”

Xu Sui Sui complained with a bitter face: “I was exhausted along the way! If I hadn't been lucky, I might have died on the road!”

“... Alright, you've worked hard.”

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian was able to understand Xu Sui Sui's mentality.

If he had known there was a transmigrator somewhere when he first transmigrated, he might have gone to find them from afar.

Of course, this move also has certain risks.

After all, although they are "compatriots", if you encounter a psychopath, going there might be courting death.

In this case, it depends on whose golden finger is more awesome.

Hmm?

Thinking of this, Wei Changtian suddenly realized a crucial issue.

“What is your system?”

“System?”

Xu Sui Sui blinked in confusion: “What is a system?”

“It's a golden finger.”

“Golden finger? What's that?”

Xu Sui Sui still looked puzzled, and her reaction made Wei Changtian frown.

“Then... have you read 'Martial Peak'?”

“Is it a book? I haven't read it...”

Xu Sui Sui finally couldn't help but ask: “Hey, what are you talking about?”

“It's nothing.”

Taking a deep look at her, Wei Changtian's brain was working fast.

Not knowing what a system is, not having read 'Martial Peak'.

For a girl who hasn't been exposed to web novels much, not knowing these things is normal.

But it's also possible that Xu Sui Sui is pretending.

She might be afraid that he would see her as a threat, or she might have other plans, so she doesn't dare to reveal her true self in front of him.

But judging from her current appearance... it doesn't seem like it.

So, you can transmigrate without a system?

“Cough, after you transmigrated, didn't you find anything special about yourself?”

“Something special?”

Xu Sui Sui suddenly paused, then lowered her head a little embarrassedly: “Would it count if I became, uh, more beautiful than before?”

“... No.”

“Then there's nothing.”

“You can't cultivate?”

“No, I can't.”

“You don't seem to feel regret.”

“What's there to regret?”

Xu Sui Sui waved her hand indifferently: “What would a girl like me do with fighting and killing? When I have the chance, I'll memorize a few poems, and then there will definitely be many princes and royals who want to marry me!”

“By the way, I heard that you seem to be very powerful. Do you know anyone like that? Can you introduce me to a few?”

“...”

Looking at Xu Sui Sui, who was suddenly immersed in the longing for a “beautiful future”, Wei Changtian thought that this one probably watched a lot of transmigration palace dramas in her previous life.

But lady, we're not transmigrating into the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, or Qing dynasties, but a world of cultivation!

“I understand, I'll introduce you later.”

Not wanting to discourage Xu Sui Sui, Wei Changtian curled his lips and brought the topic back on track.

“I have two more questions, and after I finish asking them, you can ask me.”

“Oh.”

Somewhat reluctantly stopping her chatter, Xu Sui Sui was very satisfied with Wei Changtian's promise: “Ask away! I'll tell you everything I know!”

“But you must introduce me to those handsome guys, someone around, around your level would be fine...”

Around my level, girl, your requirements are a bit too high.

“I'll try my best.”

Wei Changtian casually brushed it off, considered for a moment, and then asked the last two questions in succession.

“I see that the clothes you're wearing aren't cheap, so what is your identity after you transmigrated?”

“Also, you just ran over to find me like this. Do your family—your family in this world—know? Have they been looking for you?”

“Oh, that matter.”

Xu Sui Sui probably had many questions she wanted to ask Wei Changtian as well, so she answered quickly at this moment.

“My identity after I transmigrated isn't anything special. No dad, no mom, just an older brother.”

“He seems to be working in a place called the Demon Slaying Division, not a big official, but he's quite rich and very good to me.”

“But he looks average, and I was in a hurry to come find you, so I didn't spend much time with him. In the end, I secretly ran away while he was on a business trip.”

“I left him a note, telling him not to come looking for me anymore... Hmm, but he should be quite anxious.”

“Oh well, he won't be able to find me. Besides, I'm not his sister anymore.”

“...”

Xu Sui Sui used a few words to vividly portray a "carefree" image.

And the more Wei Changtian listened, the wider his mouth opened.

It's not that he dislikes Xu Sui Sui's behavior of leaving without saying goodbye, after all, she really doesn't have much affection for her brother in this world.

The reason he was so surprised was entirely because...

“Wait a minute, what's your brother's name?”

“It seems to be... Xu Quan, yes, it's Xu Quan!”

“...”
