I am the villain in the book

"Wang Nianchu?"

"What's she doing here?"

An incense stick's time later, Wei Changtian, who was talking to Yang Liushi, raised his head, his expression somewhat puzzled.

"Oh."

Turning his head to look at Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian smiled and said, "So, she's looking for you."

"Looking for me?"

Yang Liushi was equally bewildered, raising her eyes to ask the guard, "Did she say what it was about?"

"No."

The guard truthfully replied, "This subordinate didn't ask, and Miss Wang didn't say anything."

"I see."

Yang Liushi nodded and whispered to Wei Changtian, "Husband, then I'll go and see Miss Wang first."

"Go ahead."

Waving his hand, watching Yang Liushi get up and leave with the guard, the room quickly became quiet again.

Although Wei Changtian didn't know what Wang Nianchu suddenly wanted to see Yang Liushi for, he didn't think it would be anything major.

So he didn't think too much about it, just silently sat back in his place, staring blankly at a calligraphy hanging on the wall.

Powerful strokes, like iron hooks and silver traces.

Based on Wei Changtian's virtually non-existent calligraphy appreciation ability, this calligraphy was well-written and should be from the hand of a famous artist.

At least compared to those flamboyant characters, he could recognize what was written.

"Watching the sea, listening to the waves."

"Sigh"

Softly reading out the four characters, Wei Changtian sighed lightly, his expression somewhat emotional.

He had studied Chinese well in his previous life and knew that the meaning of these four characters was "to remain calm in the face of danger, and to be unfazed by sudden changes."

To put it on a higher level, it would be "not to be pleased by external gains, nor to be saddened by personal losses."

To be honest, Wei Changtian actually hoped that he could achieve this now.

However, given the current situation, it would probably be difficult for most people to remain calm.

"Chu Xianping, Kui Long, Xin Feng"

Withdrawing his gaze, Wei Changtian softly repeated these names, and after a few breaths, he took out a small cloth pouch from his sleeve.

Inside the small cloth pouch was a Puppet Pill.

Since he couldn't analyze anything from the motive for the time being, then the Puppet Pill was the key to solving the mystery from another direction.

There was no doubt that the Puppet Pill that Chu Xianping took in front of him was real.

And this was also the reason why Wei Changtian had never been sure that Chu Xianping had rebelled.

However, if the Puppet Pill was 100% foolproof, then he wouldn't be so troubled now.

Because Wei Changtian himself knew two ways to dissolve the pill.

[Jade Dew Powder: Can dissolve all poisons, transform all Gu, break all charm illusions, temporarily suppress cultivation inner demons, 100 points]

Compared to the Puppet Pill, which only costs 30 points, this Jade Dew Powder is obviously much more expensive, and the effects are also greater.

Although the description of the Puppet Pill says "the pill poison cannot be dissolved until death", it seems to create a "self-contradictory" conflict with the effect of Jade Dew Powder.

But according to the rule that the "Pure Jade Pendant" can block "Divine Strike", Jade Dew Powder should also be able to dissolve the Puppet Pill poison.

So... is it Xu Suihui?

Judging from Chu Xianping's current abnormal behavior, Wei Changtian couldn't help but suspect that all of this was related to Xu Suihui.

After all, both of them participated in the Kui Long matter, and they were both "Elders" of the Council of Elders.

Now that so much time has passed, it would be normal for them to have some kind of interaction because of this.

Moreover, in Wei Changtian's view, the person who could "persuade" Chu Xianping to do what he is doing now, or the person whose price could move Chu Xianping, would most likely be Xu Suihui, who is "clairvoyant."

In addition, this war itself involved Xin Feng.

No matter from which angle you analyze it, Xu Suihui's figure repeatedly appears on the edge of the fog, so Wei Changtian felt that it was very likely that she used Jade Dew Powder to dissolve Chu Xianping's pill poison.

However, there is one thing that doesn't make sense.

That is, why can Han Zhao still sense the aura of the Puppet Pill from Chu Xianping?

Could it be that Chu Xianping dissolved the pill first, and then took another Puppet Pill?

Then who is this Puppet Pill loyal to?

Xu Suihui?

Analyzing to this point, the following things become complicated and chaotic.

What's more, there is a second possibility besides this.

To talk about the second way to dissolve the pill, we must mention the "brand new" Puppet Pill that Wei Changtian gave to Chu Xianping at the beginning.

The Puppet Pill needs blood to be dripped on it to take effect, and the person who takes the pill will explode and die when betraying the person who dripped the blood.

Wei Changtian wanted Chu Xianping to give that Puppet Pill to Song Li to take at the time.

However, as mentioned before, the latter did not take the pill.

Later, Shen Ran had repeatedly sent back important information about Xu Suihui, which made Wei Changtian once guess whether Chu Xianping had given Shen Ran the Puppet Pill.

However, because Shen Ran had been following Xu Suihui, he had not been able to confirm this matter.

But now it seems that there may be another possibility.

That is, Chu Xianping himself dripped blood on that Puppet Pill and then ate it himself.

What will happen if you eat two Puppet Pills at the same time?

Wei Changtian had already done an experiment when he was in Liangzhou.

The result of the experiment proved that the effects of the Puppet Pill will not stack, but will be overwritten.

That is to say, when a person takes the second Puppet Pill, his object of loyalty will change from the person who dripped the blood on the first pill to the person who dripped the blood on the second pill.

So, if Chu Xianping really did this, it would be equivalent to dissolving the pill poison in disguise.

After all, he can't betray himself.

Rubbing his forehead, Wei Changtian's thoughts were very chaotic at this time.

The above two situations are already complicated enough, not to mention whether Chu Xianping will find a third or fourth way to dissolve the pill.

Previously, Chu Xianping was fully responsible for the affairs of the Same Boat Society, and he had a very large number of Puppet Pills in his hand, enough for him to do various experiments.

Therefore, even if Chu Xianping really mastered other methods of dissolving the pill, Wei Changtian would not be surprised.

"Sigh"

Sighing, Wei Changtian finally realized the disadvantages of being a "hands-off shopkeeper" today.

But things have come to this point, it is useless to regret these things, it is true to find a way to make amends.

As for how to make amends.

Compared to the mystery of whether Chu Xianping has rebelled, Wei Changtian already has a very clear idea about this matter.

In fact, it's very simple.

After all, no matter what Chu Xianping's purpose is, what kind of conspiracy and calculation he has, he will eventually need to use the power and influence in his hands to achieve it.

Since this is the case, then he only needs to take away his power.

Of course, this matter is easy to say, but it will definitely be extremely difficult to do.

Although he has taken back the Heavenly Mystery Institute, and Liang Zhen, Ning Yu Ke and others can exclude him from the military and court affairs.

However, the Co-prosperity Society, which has now reached a very large scale, was developed and grown by Chu Xianping alone.

Therefore, it will undoubtedly take a lot of effort to take back the Co-prosperity Society.

Not to mention there is also a Kui Long.

Standing up, slowly pacing back and forth in the room, Wei Changtian's eyes gradually became cold.

If it really doesn't work, just be more direct?

Tie up Chu Xianping and force him to tell the truth.

If he still refuses to say anything, then.

Kill him.

"."

His footsteps suddenly stopped, this thought only flashed through Wei Changtian's mind, but it instantly made him feel a chill.

There is no doubt that no matter from the perspective of emotion or reason, Wei Changtian is unwilling to go to the point of life and death with Chu Xianping.

But what if the latter really rebels?

Even, is Chu Xianping trying to step on him to continue moving up?

"Sigh."

"Brother Chu."

"What exactly are you trying to do."

"."

ps, damn, I have no intention to code today, barely a chapter.

Three shifts will be made up tomorrow, and if the situation improves in the future, there will be a week of explosive updates!!
