Life of a Villain

Chapter 41 - Rumors And Reactions

Andy's heartbeat quickened as he closed the door, and his breathing became ragged as he leaned against the door with his eyes closed. Many memories of Lu An flashed through his mind, particularly those of this woman playing with him when he was a kid.

This woman was an entire world to him, but everything changed in a day when that day everyone discovered that he couldn't cultivate. That was the day her attitude toward him suddenly and unexpectedly changed. Suddenly, he became a burden to everyone; even his mother, who was everything to him, looked at him as if he was the biggest mistake of her life.

Honestly, his blood started boiling when he saw those angry eyes she had for her injured son. Wasn't he also her son, and why she couldn't look at him with compassionate eyes at any time? Why should he be the burden? Was cultivation so necessary that even a mother could lose sight of her love for her child?

He recited the mind scripture, his eyes opened to see that blue sky with those clouds floating out there, and his mind created a picture. After a while, a sigh escaped his lips as his gaze remained fixed on the sky, "Lu An o Lu An, why are you affecting me so much?" he mocked himself as he closed his eyes again.

But the moment he opened it, an icy glint passed through his eyes as he stood straight and made his way to his room, while a gentle breeze made a silent sound as it shook a lone tree in a courtyard slightly.

----------------------------------------

On that day, many infamous rumours about Andy began spreading all across the city.

Everyone began dubbing him as a lustful demon after he snatched two women from two famous families, and he even turned the son of the Lin family into a mindless idiot and plucked out the eye of the son of the patriarch of the Lu family.

Many people started worshipping Andy when rumours spread that he was so powerful that even in Core Formation Realm, the Patriarch of the Lu family couldn't even touch him when he plucked the eyeball on his son.

-----------------------------------------

The room was filled with the bawling of a woman in a luxurious room of a particular inn. A tall middle-aged square-faced man in a white robe, with a thin moustache, was staring at a slightly plump woman who was slumped to the ground as she hugged a young man with listless eyes, while drool leaked from his mouth, and a lifeless, mangled body of a man in robe lay in a pool of blood at a distance.

"What exactly happened?" he mumbled slowly, his gaze fixed on his idiot son and sobbing wife.

As soon as the words left his mouth, a thin, scrawny man began whispering in his ears. The more he listened to the man, the more unpleasant his face became.

"Is this true?" He turned to face that scrawny man, who nodded.

The middle-aged man scowled as he stared at his wife and son, who were causing a commotion in the room, then a determined expression flashed in his eyes as he crushed a jade pendant that had turned up in his hand.

----------------------------------------

In a secret chamber on the Lu family estate. An older man with countless wrinkles on his face sat on a platform and stared at a rainbow fruit with his barely opened eyes. A middle-aged man with silver hair sat cross-legged on the ground, his head bowed.

The old man's gaze shifted to the man sitting on the ground as a hoarse, cracked voice escaped his mouth.

"What happened?"

The man on the ground lifted his head and looked at the old man for a moment before narrating the events of the day.

The old man fell silent for a moment after listening to the middle-aged man before saying in a hoarse voice.

"Forget everything that has happened today and tell everyone that no one is going against that Young Man especially that woman. According to what you told me, he definitely came from a higher world, and if we couldn't be his friend, we shouldn't be his enemy. We are not powerful enough to oppose the Imperial Family, let alone the master of this man. And for your son, see a physician to see if they can do anything about his eyes, or else leave it alone; after all, you have a lot of sons. If you're still not satisfied, make some more." As soon as he finished speaking, he stared greedily at the fruit.

"As you say Grand Ancestor," the middle-aged man stood up, bowed and left the room

----------------------------------------------

In a luxurious room of a large courtyard, the Grand Elder was rubbing his head while a helpless smile formed on his face as he listened to the rumours of his recently recruited Prime Disciple.

"Is the rumour true?"

"We know nothing about the Lu family, but everyone witnessed his actions against the son of Lin clan,"

He closed his eyes for a moment before looking at the Young Man in front of him. "I'm not sure what you'd do, but keep a close eye on the Lin Family. In any case, those guys are flying very high. The time has come to take them out."

-------------------------------------------------

A beautiful woman in a pink robe with a blue ribbon tied around her waist sat on a chair in a particular garden, staring at the newly recruited women who were chatting happily.

Suddenly, a maid whispered something into her ears. Her brows furrowed for a moment before she turned to face the maid.

"Is it?" She asked as a smile spread across her face.

And the maid nodded as she heard the question.

----------------------------------------------------

Four days have passed since that day's incidence. The mountains were filled with the commotion of the crowd as a swarm of people gathered to witness a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Many people looked up at the sky from time to time, wishing to see the huge miracle they had only heard about.

Many wealthy families from across the continent were also present to witness the miracle, as they were seated in the VIP section. And the participants' youngsters under the Core Formation Realms stood quietly in the distance, staring at the sky.

A young man in a black robe stood alone in one corner, his blue eyes hidden behind the mask, staring at the sky. His lips curled into a smile as he noticed a blurry image of a valley appear in the sky. His fists clenched as he muttered,

"Time has come,"
