I am the villain in the book

The next morning.

So many things happened last night that the fact that Chu Xianping had rebelled could no longer be concealed.

Liang Zhen, Han Zhao, Du Chang, and Ning Yuke, who was far away in Da Shu, and Wei Xianzhi, who was far away in Da Ning, had all received the news.

I won’t go into detail here about how everyone will gradually clean up the hidden dangers left by Chu Xianping.

In short, this incident undoubtedly cast a shadow over the various forces centered on Wei Changtian.

To be honest, if anyone else had betrayed, the impact it could have caused would probably not have reached the level it has now.

Precisely because of this, everyone couldn't help but wonder what Chu Xianping was doing this for.

What kind of temptation could make him give up all of this, even his wife?

This question is something that even Wei Changtian can't figure out, let alone others.

Different people have different aspirations.

Where exactly does Chu Xianping's "aspiration" lie?

Although Wei Changtian didn't understand, he knew that he had to find out the answer as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once Chu Xianping completed his "aspiration", it might be a catastrophe for him.

Therefore, after a night passed, Wei Changtian finally made a decision—

He would no longer travel with the army, but instead, he would go to Fengyuan first to ask Xu Sui Sui for clarification.

In fact, Wei Changtian couldn't be sure that this matter was necessarily related to Xu Sui Sui.

However, he felt that the probability was high.

More importantly, compared to Qian and Hui countries and Kuilong, Xu Sui Sui was currently the only breakthrough point that could be advanced.

In addition, he was originally going to reinforce Xin Feng, so this trip could be said to be "imperative".

Of course, strictly speaking, he could also ask Xu Sui Sui through letters.

But letters are not as good as face-to-face talks.

After all, with Tang Chen around, the latter method was obviously more reliable.

Obviously, Li Zimu's parents are dead, and now her marriage is undoubtedly up to Wei Changtian, the master, to decide.

Since Tang Chen brought this matter up to Wei Changtian, it means that he and Li Zimu have already made up their minds in private.

Good fellow, the alternate has finally taken the top spot?

This was Wei Changtian's first reaction after hearing this condition.

But he wasn't surprised.

After all, compared to Chu Xianping, Tang Chen was indeed more sincere to Li Zimu, and the latter could naturally feel it.

In addition, now that Chu Xianping has rebelled, it is reasonable for Li Zimu, who is heartbroken, to choose to marry Tang Chen.

To this day, Wei Changtian still doesn't think that Li Zimu is very sincere to Tang Chen.

However, he was too lazy to care about these things and casually agreed to Tang Chen's request.

"Okay."

"As long as you two are in love, I will naturally not interfere."

"When this battle is over, I will personally be your wedding witness."

Time was tight, so they left as soon as they said they would.

At the beginning of Chen Shi (7-9 AM), Wei Changtian and Tang Chen had already simply packed their luggage and quietly left Huailing City on their respective warhorses.

Thanks to Tang Chen's efforts in the past few days, there was not a single spy in the army, so their whereabouts could be concealed for several days at least.

And in order to keep it secret, very few people know about this matter at the moment.

Even Liang Zhen, Du Chang, and others are temporarily unaware, only Zhang San, Yang Liushi, and Li Zimu came to see them off.

Looking at the two figures that had already gone far away, Yang Liushi and Li Zimu's expressions were a little complicated.

They looked back at each other and saw deep worry and reluctance in each other's eyes.

There is no doubt that the object of Yang Liushi's concern must be Wei Changtian.

As for Li Zimu—

"Miss Li, between you and Young Master Tang—"

Hesitating for a moment, Yang Liushi asked softly: "Is it different from before?"

"Responding to Madam, yes."

Li Zimu nodded lightly: "The Young Master has already agreed to allow us to get married after the war in Xin Feng ends."

"Is that so? Then that is a good thing."

Yang Liushi smiled and got into the carriage with Li Zimu.

Zhang San, who was acting as the coachman, waved his whip, the wheels turned, and the carriage slowly drove towards Huailing City.

The two women sat in the carriage, silent for a long time, as if they were both thinking about something.

They were both smart people, and the conversation just now was only a brief mention.

However, just as the carriage passed through the alley in the early morning, and the aroma from the food stalls on the roadside wafted into the carriage, Yang Liushi suddenly asked again:

"Miss Li, is it because of guilt?"

"."

At first glance, this question seemed a little nonsensical.

But Li Zimu was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, she silently asked:

"Madam, does the reason matter?"

"...That's true."

Yang Liushi opened the car curtain and looked out, sighing softly as if with some emotion:

"There are many helpless things in the world, and there are few things in life that are satisfactory."

"Some things really don't need to be thought about too clearly."

"."

Soon, Yang Liushi and Li Zimu took the carriage back to the inn, and what they did after that was irrelevant.

At the same time, Wei Changtian and Tang Chen had already galloped out dozens of miles, heading west straight for Fengyuan City, thousands of miles away.

The morning sun was as usual, and everything in Huailing City was no different from usual.

And in a teahouse not far from the West City Gate, a pair of father and daughter from out of town were sitting by the window, quietly drinking white porridge.

"Dad, he's alone now, isn't it a good opportunity for us to avenge Mom?"

The girl, whose face was covered with dirt, put down the mud bowl and asked in a low voice: "Why don't we catch up?"

"Yue'er, this matter cannot be rushed."

The middle-aged man, who was also travel-worn, looked around and replied in a low voice: "Besides, he is not the only one who killed your mother."

"Dad plans to find another person to take revenge on first."

"Is it that wild fox?"

The girl clenched her small fist, and her eyes turned red: "Dad, they all have to die!"

"Yue'er, don't be so loud."

The man frowned, and then reached out a little distressedly to wipe away the tears from the corner of the girl's eyes: "Dad promises you, he will definitely kill them all."

"Don't cry, if people notice something unusual, we won't have a chance."

"."

Widening her eyes, the girl bit her lip tightly.

She buried her head and stopped talking, but her shoulders kept trembling slightly.

The man on the opposite side looked at her like this, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

In fact, the man didn't have much affection for the girl's mother.

Although he had the most intimate behavior with that woman, it was more like a farce.

The man still remembers the scene thirty years ago.

Hundreds of thousands of human troops suddenly and without warning approached Bailing Mountain, and occupied the entire Seventh Demon Land in less than two months.

And appearing along with it was the woman who had been gone for three years—

Su Xiu.

Yes, the girl's mother was Su Xiu.

And the man, as the girl's biological father, was actually a member of the Xin Yue Fox Demon clan.

To this day, the man still remembers those extremely indifferent words that Su Xiu, standing naked in front of him, had said.

"This Queen has no affection for you."

"Having a child with you is only out of the responsibility of being a Demon Queen."

"If this Queen couldn't bear him an heir, how could it be your turn—"

"Forget it, you just need to understand what this Queen means."

"."

In this way, confusedly, the man was forced to have a night of passion with Su Xiu.

After that, he went to Tianshan, and had never returned to the Seventh Demon Land in thirty years.

The man knew who Su Xiu's "him" was referring to, but he didn't understand why Su Xiu was always obsessed with such a human emperor.

But no matter why, Su Xiu really didn't have any affection for him, and had never seen him again in these thirty years.

But fortunately, the little fox named Yue'er would often come to Tianshan to find him through the teleportation array.

Until one day, the little fox turned into a girl, crying and telling him what happened in Bailing Mountain—

Although the man didn't have much affection for Su Xiu, the two had been husband and wife after all.

In addition, Su Xiu was always Yue'er's mother.

So, the man finally decided to come out of the mountain to avenge Su Xiu.

And after he made this decision, a friend had advised him.

"Are you stupid? How can that Wei Changtian be so easy to deal with? You might have to risk your life!"

"You've cultivated hard for hundreds of years, and as a result, for a Su Xiu who has no affection for you, you are willing to take such a big risk?"

"Tell me, why are you doing this?"

"."

Faced with his friend's persuasion, the man obviously didn't change his mind.

He remembered that he just smiled and asked back:

"Does the reason matter?"
