I am the villain in the book

The third Child of Heaven, Chu An.

Closing the system interface and rubbing his forehead, Wei Changtian's expression was somewhat puzzled.

Because unlike previous experiences, this Chu An, although from Da Hui, did not appear on the Xin Feng battlefield and has not yet intersected with him.

Based on experience, this is undoubtedly a bit strange.

After all, whether it was the "old acquaintance" Ning Yongnian, or Yun Lian, Bai Youheng, Shen Ran, Tang Chen, Xu Quan, these "newcomers", they all "took the initiative to come to his door".

In other words, Wei Changtian did not actively seek them out; these people appeared due to various coincidences.

Yun Lian wanted to avenge Wu Tianqing.

Shen Ran wanted to defeat Su Wu at the Chunlong Poetry Gathering.

Bai Youheng's auspicious beast happened to be "Yanluo".

Tang Chen was sent by Yan Huaiqing to negotiate with him.

Xu Quan was Xu Suisui's brother...

In the end, these people "happened" to connect with him under the manipulation of fate.

Wei Changtian originally thought that this Chu An would be the same, and would likely appear on the Xin Feng battlefield.

But now that the war is over, he still hasn't encountered this third-ranked Child of Heaven.

So, will his intersection with Chu An be in this Yongding City?

A thought suddenly popped into his mind, and he frowned.

Eyes narrowed slightly, Wei Changtian turned to look at Zhang San.

The latter immediately walked out of the study with a vigilant expression, and soon returned.

"Young Master, it's Shopkeeper Qin."

"Qin He? What is she doing here?"

"Shopkeeper Qin said that she happens to be free tomorrow, and if the Young Master is willing, she can take the Young Master to Changsheng Horse Market."

"Is that so..."

Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, then smiled:

"Please invite her in."

"..."

Soon, Qin He, who was waiting outside the courtyard, walked through the small courtyard and met Wei Changtian in the study.

She didn't waste too much time on pleasantries, and after a few polite words, she softly stated her purpose, which was similar to what Zhang San had said.

According to normal thinking, Qin He's actions were definitely out of kindness.

After all, a foreigner is new to Yongding City and not familiar with the local situation. As the "host," it would be understandable for her to help as much as she could.

But in Wei Changtian's view, Su He's such simple "show of goodwill" was full of loopholes.

Free tomorrow?

As the shopkeeper of an inn, how could Su He say she's free whenever she wants?

Does she know that no guests will come to Zhuwu tomorrow?

Or is she willing to give up her business to help him?

Okay, even if Su He is really enthusiastic, she could completely send a shop assistant to take him to the horse market instead of going herself.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities for her to do this.

Either she has taken a fancy to him.

Or she wants to go and see if he is really a horse trader.

And if you consider Qin He's likely "mistress" status...

"Miss Qin, how can I be so rude."

Wei Changtian feigned politeness with a hint of surprise on his face: "It's really too much trouble."

"It's not a problem."

On the other side, Qin He smiled: "I was free anyway, and I can just see the world, as long as the Young Master doesn't mind."

"Hahaha, how could I mind? I couldn't ask for more."

Wei Changtian laughed heartily and nodded: "Since that's the case, I won't be polite. I'll trouble you for half a day tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll wait for the Young Master in the front hall at Chenshi (7-9 am) tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you, Miss Qin, for your help."

"It's nothing..."

"..."

Coming and going in a hurry, Qin He didn't even sit down. She left the study in less than a hundred breaths.

Obviously, she couldn't be considered a very scheming woman, and the nervousness in her eyes had already been seen by Wei Changtian.

Wei Changtian wasn't afraid of being exposed tomorrow.

He was just a little curious as to why Qin He suddenly wanted to test him.

Could it be that he had revealed some flaws before?

That's impossible...

He curled his lips and gave Zhang San a look.

The latter immediately understood and jumped out of the window. His figure disappeared in a few breaths, presumably to keep an eye on Qin He.

At this time, Wei Changtian stretched lazily, then took out a token from his arms and played with it casually.

The front was carved with a ghost-faced dragon, and the back was engraved with the words "Kui Long". It was the elder token of the Black Platform Elder that Chu Xianping had "returned to its original owner".

The reason he chose to come directly from Fengyuan to Da Hui was largely because he thought Chu Xianping was also in Da Hui.

After all, with Lu Hongji's death, someone had to take over the power of Kui Long Bingyi Branch. Wei Changtian believed that Chu Xianping was very likely doing just that.

However, although he had sent out many people in the past half month, he had not been able to find any news about Chu Xianping.

Including Zhuang Zhiming, he also didn't return to Shu Prefecture, and it was unknown whether he was still with Chu Xianping.

"Chu Xianping, Zhuang Zhiming, Kui Long, Tiaoyue Sword..."

Muttering to himself, Wei Changtian looked up at the bamboo forest outside the window.

The bamboo swayed, and the shadow of the white moon brushed the steps.

It was said that bamboo was also a magical plant, green and new all year round, without a single withered leaf, as if it did not distinguish between spring and autumn, and did not know the years.

Da Hui, Guling County.

The moonlight was deep, and the silence in the valley was broken by the muffled sound of "rumbling".

While Wei Changtian was racking his brains in Yongding City, wondering where Chu Xianping was, the huge iron gate of the Kui Long Bingyi Branch was slowly opening.

A strong smell of blood gushed out from inside the door, proving what a earth-shattering battle had just taken place here.

However, the man standing at the door was spotless, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"Remember your choice just now."

Turning his head and glancing at the Kui Long people kneeling on the ground, the man's tone was very calm.

He pointed to the seven or eight corpses scattered in the cave and said lightly:

"Otherwise, they will be your end."

"...We, we dare not."

Hearing the man's words, the group of people kneeling on the ground didn't even dare to breathe loudly, but hurriedly replied, "Please, please rest assured, Branch Master, your subordinates will do their best for you!"

"Well, it's best to be like this."

After saying the last sentence expressionlessly, the man stopped looking at the people behind him and turned and walked out of the cave without hurrying or slowing down.

A middle-aged man in black had always been following him.

Quietly glanced at the man's profile, and then looked back at the crowd still kneeling on the ground in the cave with some lingering fear, the black-clothed man hesitated for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice:

"Young Master Chu, where are we going next?"

"..."

The night was as dark as ink, and the valley was dim.

The man did not stop, but casually answered two words.

"Yongding."
