I Truly Am The Villian

The azure sky appeared exceptionally clear, with clumps of white clouds floating above.

The Holy Vessel’s speed was extremely fast, swiftly parting the airflows on both sides. After the Holy Vessel soared into the sky and stabilized, Elder Seven finally evened out its velocity.

Moving at a steady pace toward the Holy Spring Sect, several people stood at the edge of the Holy Vessel, exuding an air as if they were poised atop the highest peak, looking down on all the mountains below.

The blue of the sky was so incredibly deep that it seemed unbelievable, and the clouds felt as if they were within reach.

The scenery was beautiful, but it became somewhat monotonous after a while, and one could gradually grow weary of it.

"Fei’er, it’s windy outside, you should come here and rest for a bit," Lu Ang suggested with a smile, pointing to the central resting area of the Holy Vessel.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu," Cai Yufei replied with a cool nod.

Four of them sat in the resting area, while Elder Seven returned to his room.

"Fei’er, have you been busy lately? There was a market in the town below our Sect Gate last time, and when I invited you to go out, you didn’t come," Lu Ang said warmly, looking at Cai Yufei.

"I usually need to cultivate, and I’m not too interested in things unrelated to cultivation," Cai Yufei shook her head and added, "Also, Senior Brother Lu, I hope you can call me ’Junior Sister Cai’ next time."

Lu Ang gave a polite yet awkward smile in response to Cai Yufei’s cool reply.

He glanced at Xu Zimei, seeming to want to defuse the awkwardness and cheerfully said, "Junior Brother Xu, I heard you’ve only started cultivating recently.

If there’s anything you don’t understand about cultivation, feel free to ask your senior brother at any time."

Xu Zimei, who had been leaning on a chair with his eyes half-closed wanting to catch some sleep,

nodded at Lu Ang’s words and said, "Senior Brother, as it happens I do have a question I’d like to ask you."

"What’s the question?" Lu Ang asked, puzzled.

"Tell me, if the girl you like doesn’t like you back, would you give up straight away? Or would you hang around her like a lapdog?"

After saying this, Xu Zimei sneakily glanced at Cai Yufei.

"Well," Lu Ang coughed a few times, then sighed and said, "Junior Brother, you can tell you’ve never been in love.

When you have someone you like, you’ll understand. If you don’t really like her, who would be willing to act like a lapdog?

Moreover, it’s not like I don’t have suitors. A bunch of junior sisters and senior sisters in the Sect chase after me, but I’m just loyal to one, devoted solely to Fei’er."

Cai Yufei rolled her eyes from the side, "Men really can be shameless sometimes."

"I don’t quite agree with your view, Senior Brother. Even if I like someone in the future, I would never become a lapdog," Xu Zimei shook his head as he spoke.

"If you don’t go after her, are you going to let the person you like just slip away?" Lu Ang asked, puzzled.

Cai Yufei also looked curiously at Xu Zimei from the side.

"Not at all, I quite agree with Ruhu’s view," Xu Zimei shook his head and said: "If the person I like doesn’t like me back, I would just take the Overlord approach.

If once doesn’t work, then ten times, and if ten times don’t work, then a hundred times. A melon forced off its vine may not be sweet but it can still quench thirst."

"Although that sounds weird, it seems like rough words with reasonable logic," Lu Ang looked at Xu Zimei, excitedly saying, "Junior Brother, a word from you is worth ten years of study; it seems your senior brother has gained some insight."

"Shameless," Cai Yufei snorted coldly and then walked straight into the interior of the Holy Vessel, not wanting to stay with the others.

......…

Afterward, Lu Ang dragged Xu Zimei into a discussion about some embarrassing topics. Xu Zimei now realized that although this guy seemed serious on the surface, in his heart, he was incredibly reserved and lecherous.

Just as the two were eagerly discussing, a faint bird call reached their ears.

Xu Zimei looked up to see a huge Cang Luan flying with its wings spread beside the Holy Vessel.

This Cang Luan was entirely white and half the size of the Holy Vessel, its wings spreading with an aura that almost seemed to blot out the sky.

Its feathers were extremely sharp, with the tail plumes displaying patterns of cyan and red.

Its neck was slender and proud, crowned with a golden crest on its head.

On the back of this Cang Luan, there stood a line of people at this moment.

In total, there were five individuals, all dressed in fluttering white robes, standing on the Cang Luan with an ethereal grace, like celestial maidens descended to the mortal realm.

......

"Is this Holy Vessel perhaps a companion of the True Martial Holy Sect?" asked a woman from the very front of the Cang Luan.

She was the leader of this group, seeming somewhat older than the few girls beside her but very well-maintained.

Without closer inspection, one might even mistake her for a young maiden.

"I am the seventh Elder of the True Martial Holy Sect. Elder Fanyun is welcome to come down and meet," said the seventh Elder, walking out from the Holy Vessel and speaking up at this time.

"So it is Elder Tianzhen," a voice came from atop the Cang Luan, followed by the sight of the gigantic Cang Luan slowly descending.

"Who are these people?" Xiao Guizi asked curiously.

"They should be from the Immortal Spirit Sect. It seems the Holy Spring Sect’s Inner Gate competition this time has also invited them," Lu Ang said in a low voice.

The Immortal Spirit Sect was also considered a first-rate force in the Extreme West Region, founded by the Ancestor of Wind.

It was said that the Ancestor of Wind was the wife of the Dustless Emperor, and although the Immortal Spirit Sect was not part of the Dustless Emperor’s forces, there were rumors that within the Sect Gate there were Great Emperor’s True Artifacts left by the Dustless Emperor.

As for whether this was true or not, no one knew.

One point of difference for the Immortal Spirit Sect was that this Sect Gate only recruited female disciples.

They never sought male disciples and moreover, every generation’s Saintess of the Sect Gate could not marry a man.

......

The Cang Luan descended from the sky, and the Immortal Spirit Sect had brought a total of five individuals this time.

Aside from Elder Fanyun, the other four women were all wearing white dresses with light blue Washing Silk Veils over them.

After the introductions, Xu Zimei also came to know that among these four female disciples, one of them was actually the Saintess of this generation for the Immortal Spirit Sect.

This was beyond his expectations; he remembered that in his previous life when he had gone to the Holy Spring Sect, the Saintess of the Immortal Spirit Sect had not come.

It seemed that some things really had experienced a butterfly effect, but anyway, he also had to be cautious.

To become the Saintess meant that the Immortal Spirit Sect would fully support this woman in this era to compete for Destiny.

Even if she failed in the struggle for Destiny, she would still have the opportunity to vie for the position of Sect Master in the Immortal Spirit Sect.

The woman’s name was "Nie Xingqing," a name Xu Zimei had heard in his previous life but had never met her.

......

The space on the Holy Vessel was very spacious, and the seventh Elder seemed to be enjoying a pleasant conversation with Elder Fanyun from the opposite side.

Lu Ang, sitting beside Xu Zimei, looked at the four women of the Immortal Spirit Sect and let out a disheartened sigh, "They all look quite good; it’s a pity they joined the Immortal Spirit Sect."

"What does that matter? As far as I remember, only the Saintess is forbidden to marry. The other female disciples can, right?" Xu Zimei said with a smile.

"But the key issue is that once they join, they’re not allowed to marry out," Lu Ang replied, shaking his head regretfully.
