I am the villain in the book

No wind, no sound. Moonlight streamed in through the open window, casting a pale glow.

The anticipated scene didn't materialize. Inside, Qin He lay on the bed, fully clothed. The masked man from before had vanished without a trace.

Seeing the open wooden window, Chu An knew the latter must have escaped.

He didn't pursue, but quickly went to the bedside, took out a small jade bottle from his pocket, and shook out a few pills for Qin He to swallow.

In truth, Qin He's injuries weren't serious.

Including Chu An himself, although he had taken a punch and a slap, he hadn't actually suffered any real harm.

Neither of them even needed to see a doctor. They just needed to take some pills and rest for a few days to recover.

And so, would tonight's events simply pass like this?

Looking down at Qin He in his arms, whose face was pale, Chu An clenched his fist slightly.

As mentioned before, he knew that this group of bandits had not come here to rob them.

But on the other hand, Chu An couldn't figure out what the real reason behind it was.

Frowning, he recalled everything that had just happened, holding Qin He quietly for a long time.

Then, at a certain moment, Chu An's eyes suddenly froze, as if he had discovered something.

"Blame yourself for being too weak."

"If you were stronger, you wouldn't have to suffer so much."

The masked man's words kept echoing in his mind, and Chu An suddenly had a suspicion that he himself didn't quite believe.

That was, it seemed someone already knew his secret.

And these "bandits" had come to test him.

But how was that possible?

Since becoming the Son of Heavenly Dao, Chu An had never mentioned this to anyone, including Qin He, and had never used even a single Heavenly Dao Divine Power, except for tonight.

Under these circumstances, how could others know about his "uniqueness"?

"Huff."

Taking a deep breath, Chu An didn't continue to think about the problem, after all, everything was just a guess.

But no matter what, he couldn't stay here any longer.

Getting up and walking out of the inner room, he dragged the corpses outside to the woodshed and hid them, simply packed his and Qin He's luggage, and finally returned to the inner room to pick up Qin He, who was still unconscious.

Under normal circumstances, to avoid trouble with the authorities, Chu An should have cleaned up the "scene" and the corpses.

But now he couldn't care about that. He just wanted to leave this place first and come back to deal with it after Qin He was safe.

However, just as he was carrying Qin He and about to step out of the courtyard gate, he saw a man in black under the moonlight.

And this man was also looking at him.

The bright moon hung in the sky, and the night was cool and clear.

"Young Master, what should we do with these two?"

A hundred breaths later, in the small courtyard.

As if they were ghosts, a group of men in black, who knew not where they came from, had already begun to dispose of the corpses in the house, while Zhang San and Wei Changtian stood in the courtyard, with Chu An and Qin He, who had both passed out, at their feet.

They could have killed them directly, but they didn't.

In the end, Wei Changtian still couldn't bring himself to be cruel.

Or rather, after seeing their "ordinary life", he was somewhat reluctant to kill such a pair of "ordinary people."

However, on the other hand, Wei Changtian was a little unwilling to let go of such a "big piece of meat".

That's why he had just attacked and knocked Chu An unconscious.

"Leave Qin He here. Her injuries are not serious. I guess she will wake up soon."

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Changtian ordered in a deep voice: "Take Chu An away, find a place to lock him up temporarily, and guard him strictly."

"Yes!"

Zhang San didn't care whether Chu An and Qin He were innocent or not. He responded and immediately sealed Chu An's acupoints and carried him to the carriage outside the courtyard.

Wei Changtian stood in the courtyard for a while, then turned and got into the carriage.

The wheels turned slowly, heading straight for the hiding place of the Da Ning spies in Yongding City.

About half an hour later, Wei Changtian "settled" Chu An.

The detention location was in a secret underground room of a restaurant.

This restaurant was a property of the Da Ning Zhan Shi Fu. It was usually used for secret agents to meet, so the security was acceptable.

In addition, Chu An's acupoints had been sealed, so even the Son of Heavenly Dao should not be able to cause any problems.

The reason for temporarily detaining Chu An was undoubtedly because Wei Changtian hadn't decided whether to kill him or not.

Apart from what was said earlier, there was another very crucial point that caused this entanglement.

That was, Wei Changtian didn't have a great need for system points and Chu An's Heavenly Dao Divine Power at the moment.

He had seen the scene when Chu An killed people, and he roughly guessed what this divine power was used for.

In short, it was pure "killing".

And it wasn't a method like Xiao Feng's that could improve one's strength in a short period of time, but completely relied on the killing power of the Qi Luck Divine Beast.

Before Chu An, all the Qi Luck Divine Beasts of the Sons of Heavenly Dao could only play a role in blessing the power of the divine power, and could not directly fight.

But just now, Wei Changtian saw very clearly that it was not Chu An who really killed those masked men, but the Ghost-Faced Red Serpent.

It was the latter who used its huge body to entangle the men and strangle them into mincemeat.

Then, based on this, Chu An's "special ability" should be to directly use the powerful Qi Luck Divine Beast to fight.

Of course, the strength of the Ghost-Faced Red Serpent should also be linked to Chu An's own realm.

According to Wei Changtian's estimation, with Chu An's current sixth-grade realm, the strength of his divine beast should already be around the fourth-grade.

And if Chu An were to become stronger, even breaking through to the upper three grades, then the power of the divine beast should also increase by a large margin.

Thinking this way, this divine power was indeed very strong, far surpassing auxiliary skills such as "Locking Dragon" and "Soul Capture" in terms of combat power improvement.

It was just that it was somewhat useless to Wei Changtian.

After all, after obtaining divine weapons such as Longquan and Yuan Tu, he could have summoned the Qi Luck Divine Beast to fight for him.

Even if he killed Chu An and obtained the divine power, it would just be one more divine beast, and the improvement was not great.

In addition, there were still quite a few system points left, and he wouldn't need them for the time being... That's why Wei Changtian decided to slow down and didn't rush to kill him.

But in the end, he was still soft-hearted.

"Alas."

Sitting in the carriage back to Zhuwu, Wei Changtian sighed:

"I am really too kind."
