Life of a Villain

Drifting clouds passed through the majestic courtyard at the top of the mountains, surrounded by beautiful gardens and trees.

Andy stood at a distance, his gaze fixed on the courtyard, and his robe fluttered in the breeze.

However, a lovely voice interrupted his thoughts.

"It's beautiful,"

Andy turned to look at Su Xin, her face was covered in a veil, while her eyes observed the garden and the trees.

"You are beautiful,"

Su Xin was taken aback for a moment, and she blushed slightly as she looked at Andy.

Her eyes stared at the blue eyes behind the mask. But her heart skipped a beat as she remembered the face behind the mask.

"I have to tell you something," she said suddenly as she removed her veil.

Andy's brows were arched, but he nodded, "Go on,"

Su Xin sighed. "I remember many things about my past. And as you said, I am the daughter of the Su Family."

Andy smiled as he heard her words, "Isn't it a good thing? You'll be able to regain your cultivation soon, right?"

Su Xin, on the other hand, shook her head. "No, I still have the feeling that something is changing within my body. Perhaps it will take some time for my body to recover."

"Take your time. You will recover soon."

Su Xin nodded, "There is one more thing I like to say."

"Oh. What is it?" Andy asked her.

"I don't know, but when I saw that man, I felt that I have seen him somewhere. It's just that I don't know where I have seen him."

Andy's eyes narrowed as he looked at her, but he smiled again. "Don't worry, I have something to tell you about him."

"Don't ask me how I know, but that man is also from the upper world. You'd seen him somewhere, and he'd be a part of the crowd, just like me."

Su Xin was surprised when she heard her words, "Really?"

Andy nodded slightly.

She exhaled a sigh of relief. "I thought it was my imagination, but I felt like I'd known him for a long time. But if he's from the upper world, I'm sure I've seen him somewhere."

"I remember my past, and there would be no man in my life apart from you in the future," she said, her beautiful eyes returning to him.

But then their attention was drawn to the footsteps behind them.

Shi Yi stood there panting heavily, with one hand on her waist and the other on her breast. Her eyes were fixed on them, and her face was filled with bitterness.

Su Xin moved quickly and supported her, asking worriedly, "Are you all right?"

"It's fine," Shi Yi said, shaking her head, "I didn't really expect this mountain to be so tall."

But Su Xin interrupted, "Let's go inside."

As they both entered the courtyard, Andy glared at the figure of Su Xin and smirked. "Destiny, huh?"

...

Ma Chan stood in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes lost in thought as he gazed at the sky, while his thumb rubbed a peculiar jade.

"Should I tell him?" He muttered but shook his head as the jade disappeared from his grasp.

His heart was racing as the image of Su Xin flashed through his mind. He couldn't get his mind off her from the moment he saw her. Even after Andy told him about his past, he was not anxious about that. He has a master who will always be there for him. So what if someone threatens him with his past?

His gaze returned to the sky as he reflected on his past.

Born in a mortal family, he always heard about cultivators.

As he grew older, he became more aware of others' deception and trickery. He was aware that he was unique. But his peculiarity made him lonely. He had no one to talk to. He used to fascinate the cultivators, who were like gods to mortals.

But there was always hope in his heart that his life would change someday.

And, as if the heavens had seen his hope, he came across an old man on the verge of death one day. He helped and took care of that old man until he recovered.

But who would have thought that the old man was a cultivator who was injured in an ambush?

That old man saw right through him and told him about his eyes.

He told him he was born with Heavenly Eyes, that he was a rare genius who would one day shake the world.

That old man accepted him as a disciple and began teaching him cultivation from that day on. He traveled with the old man, saw the world, and a new world of cultivation opened up before him.

The more cultivators he met, the more he realized he was different. His eyes helped him greatly in his cultivation, since he could see through the opponent's moves and copy and comprehend them. The old man told him that one day if he is strong enough, he will be able to unravel the mystery of his Heavenly eyes.

That fascinated him, and he became a cultivation maniac. He wanted to be strong, to see through the secrets of his eyes. He was always alone, even after becoming a cultivator. But he didn't seem to mind. But one day, his master sent him to this lower world.

His master instructed him to experience life and ascend to the higher world. He even told him not to reveal the disciple's identity or tell anyone about his eyes, since it could incite greed in other cultivators.

He followed his master's orders and joined this sect, leading a low-key life.

He had always thought that he would be lonely for the rest of his life. But when he saw that woman today, he knew it was his destiny to meet her.

Unknowingly, a smile formed on his face as an image of Su Xin flashed before his eyes.

But then his eyes glowed, and the scene before him changed.

He stood near a window, his eyes fixed on a flock of flying swans in the middle of the clouds.

Suddenly, he felt at ease, as if all of his worries had vanished.

While he was lost in the scenery around him, he felt someone wrap their hands around his chest. He was astonished for a moment and quickly turned around.

But he stayed rooted to the spot, his gaze fixed on the beautiful woman in front of him. Her Oceanic blue hair drooped down her shoulders, her blue eyes fixed on him, and she smiled sweetly.

"You seemed lost, husband?" She asked with an innocent expression on her face.

He was stunned, and his heart skipped a beat, but before he could reply, the scene in front of him changed.

Suddenly, he felt pain all over his body and found himself kneeling on the ground.

He was shocked to find himself in the midst of the destroyed city, where blood flowed like a river and dead bodies littered the earth.

But then his gaze was drawn to a figure standing in the distance with his back facing him.

The man was dressed in a black robe, and he could see silver hairs dropping to his waist.

But his heart stopped for a moment when he discovered the figure beside that man.

Su Xin's eyes were filled with fear and helplessness as he stared at the figure in front of her. Blood dripped from the corner of her lips, and she looked down to see a hand ripping through her chest.

She reverted her gaze to the figure as a tear streamed down her cheeks and the last word escaped her lips. "Why?"

But her eyes lost the shine, and she fell to the ground. The blood of Su Xin dripped from the figure's hand and he turned to look at him.

He was shocked and stunned.

A figure stood in front of him, his face hidden behind a black mask and a smirk on his face.

He knew who he was. It was the same man whom he met today. But the man looked older now.

It was the same man who had threatened him.

His heart was racing as he saw the man standing before him. But the man's blue eyes suddenly changed to Red, as a crisp voice reached his ears.

"Did you like it?"
