Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 289: From Now On You Serve Young Master Jiang Well


The big hand pointed towards the door.

The two sisters were dumbfounded on the spot, staring at each other. Although they didn't know what agreement had been reached between these two, from the expression on Big Sister's face, it was clearly within an acceptable range.

The two sisters pointed at remained silent for a moment.

"Third Sister, I've told you before to be patient, don't be so aggressive. Now look, you've angered Young Master Jiang. You'll have to find a way to calm this down yourself."

Ying Ling was the first to take action, but Tong Xin was not easy to deal with either. Especially upon realizing that the two sisters might become scapegoats, she cleared her throat lightly.

"Is Sister so upset that she's lost her mind? Just now, Sister was clearly baring her fangs at Young Master Jiang, and how did I end up taking the blame for it? I'm really innocent here. Young Master, if you have any needs, just look for Second Sister..."

Plastic sisterhood.

The sisters flipped faces at the drop of a hat; neither wanted to be the scapegoat, after all, neither had shown a pleasant face to begin with.

Though they weren't worried about Jiang Feng having improper thoughts about them, the issue was that no one could guarantee this guy wasn't full of dirty tricks, secretly taking advantage of them.

All three sisters were still pure maidens; even Lao San, who appeared the most frivolous and wanton, hadn't been touched by a man—except for being spanked by elders when naughty as a child.

"As long as the Young Master enjoys it, we'll naturally serve you well during this period. However, if the Young Master gets handsy with any of us sisters..."

Jin Yuan's voice paused, then she flashed a delicate smile.

"Then we'll have to find Liu Xianzi and have Young Master legitimately marry us."

"Alright, if the Young Master has any other requests, speak them all now. We are allies now, and if we can help accomplish this matter, the Young Master will naturally be a most honored guest of our sect, and you can choose from our sect's girls at will."

Jin Yuan was still so clever; chatting with smart people is effortless, as there's no need to spell things out for them to understand your thoughts.

This collaboration actually suited their personalities well; the Joyful Sect wasn't known for their frontal combat strength, but for their strategy and negotiations to gain an advantage. Yet, no one knew for whom this gamble was more worthwhile.

After pondering a bit, Jiang Feng continued, "First, I want the movements of everyone from the Xuanyin Sect within Country Liang. Your Joyful Sect should be more professional than anyone in intelligence gathering."

"Hmm, he's still in the northwest of Country Liang, about 720 li from Dongliang City. Previously, he also had confrontations with many disciples of the Purple Cloud Palace. However, there were many on both sides, and since it was within Country Liang, it ended with neither side emerging victorious. They're still at a standoff, and so far they haven't left that area."

Blinking slightly, he realized he had underestimated the intelligence network of the Joyful Sect; that woman probably knew who accompanied that guy every night.

"Secondly, I want to know who from the Xuanyin Sect accompanied that little brat this time, and what realm they're in."

"Xuan Yinzi, grandson of the current Sect Master."

For Jin Yuan, these weren't really problems at all. Leisurely holding a teacup, she lightly picked a blossom from a pear tree outside the window, which appeared at her fingertips without warning.

As if she disliked the bland taste of the tea, she gently brushed the edge with the pear blossom before tossing it in.

In an instant, the entire room was permeated with the unique fragrance of pear blossoms.

"The Xuanyin Sect Leader, Xuan Mingzi, has four sons. The third son died young, the second perished in war, dying in the calamity that broke out a hundred years ago between your Purple Cloud Palace and the Xuanyin Sect."

"You suffered the loss of your leader and the Seven Cities of Cave Heaven, losing fifty years' worth of cultivation resources. Xuan Mingzi lost two elders and a beloved son, as well as countless experts within the sect. Since then, your two sides could never settle."

"The two remaining sons, one terrifically talented and the other unspectacular. The elder son is being groomed as the sect's successor, with Xuan Mingzi gradually relinquishing power for him to take over."

"The youngest son, although not talented, is by no means foolish. To make a mark in the sect, he relied on his background and looks to marry exceptional female cultivators from various forces, focusing on nurturing the next generation."

"Over the years, he fathered five children, three sons and two daughters. Xuan Yinzi is the youngest grandson, also the most favored child."

"This time, Xuan Mingzi naturally wishes to train his grandsons, especially upon learning that there are disciples of the Purple Cloud Palace here, he immediately dispatched one of the elders to accompany them."

"Currently, there are two elders from the Xuanyin Sect with no news, Ninth Elder Xuan Jiuzi and Seventh Elder Xuan Hezi, known outside as the Jiu He brothers. It is unclear exactly who among them came with this group."

Nodding slightly.

Whenever it comes to intelligence, it seems Jin Yuan's mind is an endless resource, with her effortlessly omniscient demeanor causing a bit of envy.

Even Jiang Feng only knew that there was a violent conflict in the Grotto Heaven a century ago, followed by an incident of a snitch betrayal, but the specific details were unknown to him. Not until now did he realize that both sides were quite ruthless.

The Purple Cloud Palace audaciously wiped out others' elders and sons, and if he remembered correctly, one was even slain by his own senior sister. No wonder both sides immediately fight on sight now.

This level of enmity is beyond reconciliation; only if one side is completely destroyed might it end.
