Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 287: Small Inn Four Foxes_2


"His foundation is unstable, having failed twice to break through to the Nascent Soul, damaging his core. Because he consumed too many Elixirs at a young age and relied too heavily on unconventional methods to enhance his realm, he is now stuck at such a level, unable to advance or retreat."

"With the strength that Young Master displayed just now, taking him down should be no problem."

Proactively pouring tea.

Jiang Feng was not polite, nor was he afraid of any trickery from the other side, as his body had strong poison resistance, thanks to Cen Yueyue.

Jin Yuan couldn't possibly be unaware of this kid's thoughts. Despite his appearance suggesting otherwise, this kid is a veteran, the type who won't make a move unless there's a guaranteed gain, never agreeing without enough cost.

A hint of helplessness spread across her brows.

The words Jiang Feng spoke earlier were unpleasant but hit the nail on the head. The fact is, the Joyful Sect is not willing to make a big fuss over someone who passed away a decade ago, unwilling to tear things apart.

At least not publicly.

Ten years have passed, and many new sect disciples don't even know the name. For someone unknown, who would risk their life?

If the perpetrator at Xuanyin Sect had no background or was merely an outer sect disciple, they could hand him over to calm the issue, but the one who did it happened to be the Sect Master's grandson. To put it bluntly, even if that grandson was standing right here...

The three sisters Jin Yintong would likely refrain from acting.

It was clear that Jin Yuan and Ying Ling still remembered their Senior Sister, wanting to seek justice, but weighing the war between two sects against someone with little value, which is heavier?

The Four Elders are different, being older with no desires, just hoping for grandchildren to enjoy their final years. Yet when their grand-disciple is killed, can they not go mad?

Don't ask why the Four Elders, after living so long, act so irrationally, so impulsively. If they weren't impulsive...

They wouldn't be Elders now.

They'd be Sect Master.

"Miss Jin Yuan has too high an opinion of me. As the Xuanyin Sect Leader's grandson, he likely possesses top-tier Magic Treasures and Cultivation Techniques, perhaps even followed by a group responsible for his safety, or maybe the old man himself has come, it's hard to say."

"Why belittle yourself, Young Master? Even if, as you say, the Xuanyin Sect has dispatched experts, doesn't your family have experts stationed as well, right?"

She gestured.

Jiang Feng merely smiled without confirming or denying.

He had long known that these women approached him because of something only he could accomplish. Did they truly value his little bit of strength?

What they were really watching was his Senior Sister!

As long as he took action, Senior Sister would certainly not sit idly by. If they could get a Sword Immortal to act, no matter how many experts Xuanyin Sect sent, they would suffer heavy losses. Jin Yuan's calculations were truly loud and clear.

"Oh, to be honest, Senior Sister has indeed arrived."

Bright eyes.

Even the other two sisters showed an expression of astonishment, straightening their backs. Whoever hears the name of a Sword Immortal must take it seriously. But Jiang Feng naturally wouldn't reveal that Senior Sister is temporarily not by his side.

He simply said: "But just relying on a few words from you all, expecting us from Swordmaster Peak to risk our lives, isn't that a bit too much? Even if this is freeloading, isn't it going too far, right Miss Jin Yuan?"

"Such, the term 'freeloader' is indeed excessive. Lin Jiangxian is now also a member of Swordmaster Peak, as her elder brother, wouldn't you want to avenge your sister's grievance?"

The smile remained unchanged.

Two sly foxes were performing a tale in this small tea house. Jiang Feng simply responded, upon hearing this: "No, I lack the ability and prowess, please seek someone more capable. Our Purple Cloud Palace still has other brothers and sisters wandering within Country Liang, go find them, farewell."

Without another word, he intended to leave.

Thinking it so simple to twist someone's arm just by talking? With a few words, have they truly taken him for a fledgling inexperienced in the ways of the world? If you'd resorted to a beauty trap, he'd at least acknowledge an effort, but three words attempting to resolve such matter, what a pipe dream.

Seeing Jiang Feng intending to leave, the Silver and Bronze sisters were somewhat anxious. Ultimately, this strategy wasn't conceived by the three sisters, but was an idea from the Sect Master, who then had them probe its feasibility.

Before leaving, Master instructed that if they could avenge Senior Sister Meng and calm the aged Four Elders, making a small sacrifice was within acceptable realms.

Before leaving, the Master instructed the three sisters, offering Magic Treasures and Elixirs as exchange, or Disciple, female cultivator, all could be accepted; marrying the Sword Immortal's apprentice wouldn't be disgraceful, rather, having him fancy their sect's disciple would be fortunate.

Gracefully donning an overcoat to conceal the wound, he left a piece of fragmented silver on the table as tea payment. Though this business deal fell through, courtesy must still remain.

Ignoring her sisters' anxious glances, Jin Yuan simply watched Jiang Feng stand up, staring fixedly as he turned to leave, walking to the door. From his actions without pause, she truly felt no reluctance from him.

Squeak—

The door opened.

From an angle Jin Yuan couldn't see, Mr. Jiang was actually quite tense now.

Did he not care about avenging his Junior Sister?

Looking at his posture, does it not look indifferent?

The feud between Xuanyin Sect and Purple Cloud Palace has lingered for ages. Not mentioning each year he saw sect disciples' corpses returned, nearly each year, dozens of lives were lost to Xuanyin Sect.
