Chapter 37
From the Righteous to the Villain
Information about Ximen Jianyi flashed through Fang Jinyu’s mind, and his expression changed. “So it’s the sickly paranoid.”
Fang Jinyu only had a rough impression of most characters.
However, if the character had a unique personality, Fang Jinyu would definitely remember him. For example, he didn’t even have a rough impression of Su Yier’s admirer, but he could still remember the Jade Falcon Myna in her admirer’s hand.
He even remembered some of the dialogue related to the plot.
“You’re someone who’s been with me for seven to eight years, and you want me to follow someone else?”
“Then I’ll pay two more spirit stones?”
“Hurry up and give me the money, strange brat.”
It was a conversation between Myna and its original owner. The Jade Falcon Myna immediately flew over to Su Yier’s with just two more spirit stones.
Fang Jinyu also had a deep impression of Ximen Jianyi.
It wasn’t that Ximen Jianyi had awakened some strange attribute, such as being willing to share Su Yier with others. It was just that Ximen Jianyi’s possessiveness was too strong, and he had turned evil. He wanted to split Su Yier into pieces and make a perfect corpse.
In the slang of Fang Jinyu’s countryside, it was also called a specimen.
It caused Ximen Jianyi to leave the righteous camp and join the evilest camp. He even became the biggest villain among the villains!
In the end, everyone only managed to kill Ximen Jianyi with the help of the devil tribe’s Devil Supreme, the Lich King, the King of Demons from the ruins, Su Yier, the female lead, and a group of righteous characters.
Before Ximen Jianyi came into contact with the true inheritance of swordsmanship, his performance was impressive but not outstanding. It was because there were too many disciples with the Tianling spiritual root in the Nine Desolations, where everyone cultivated. Almost every sect had a disciple with the Tianling spiritual root.
The difference between any cultivator and a Tianling spiritual root cultivator was like the difference between heaven and earth.
It wasn’t until Su Yier’s master taught Ximen Jianyi the only sword technique of the Tianling Sect. From that moment on, it was as if the divine weapon had found someone who could unleash its power. Ximen Jianyi’s cultivation speed was astonishingly fast, and he had also broken through to the Nascent Soul stage before the female lead shattered her core and formed her nascent soul.
Although people explained later that Ximen Jianyi was half-possessed, rather than saying that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, it was more like he was regaining his original power step by step.
It was because Ximen Jianyi’s original consciousness had been replaced after he fused with the incomplete magic treasure. It was just that the consciousness that replaced Ximen Jianyi’s original consciousness lost his past memories after the replacement was successful. Therefore, he regarded himself as Ximen Jianyi and even felt Ximen Jianyi’s parents as his own parents. Hence, he lived peacefully as a mortal for a while.
“Are you going to help me take revenge?” At this moment, a small face appeared in front of Fang Jinyu, and she looked at him with her big, hopeful eyes.
“We can’t do it directly,” Fang Jinyu said.
After all, it was the first request from the little girl who Fang Jinyu could ride her coattails in the future. Hence, he couldn’t refuse it, but he didn’t want to fight the guy who would die in a dozen years face-to-face.
Moreover, although he had become a villain, he was still indebted to the Tianling Sect for teaching him. Therefore, as long as the disciples of the Tianling Sect didn’t openly oppose the sect, it would let the villain go in the end.
“Why?” The little girl was a little dissatisfied, but she didn’t complain about anything. She only asked in confusion.
“If nothing goes wrong, this guy should rank 7 at the Foundation Establishment stage now.” Fang Jinyu recalled the plot of the book. Ximen Jianyi fully activated the magic treasure in his body after obtaining the sword cultivation manual. Not only did it help him recover his cultivation base, but it also helped him conceal it. He was ranked 7 at the Foundation Establishment stage, but under the concealment of the magic treasure, he only appeared to rank 7 at the Qi Condensation stage.
“Isn’t he a Qi Condensation stage cultivator?”
“How about we make a bet?” Fang Jinyu said.
“Then tell me what you want to bet on first.” The little girl was instantly alert. Although she had lost her memories and her mind was almost blank, it didn’t mean she was stupid. She could understand many things at a glance and could even draw inferences from one case.
“If he’s ranked 7 at the Foundation Establishment stage, you can regain your child-like nature. You can cause trouble and bully whoever you want to bully. Don’t suppress yourself.” As Fang Jinyu spoke, he deliberately smiled to hide his true intentions.
“I don’t want to!” The little girl glanced at Fang Jinyu. Although his words sounded like he was telling her to do things for her happiness, for some reason, she felt that this “kind and honest man” wasn’t honest at all.
“Why?” Fang Jinyu was slightly surprised.
“Because I have a feeling that if I do that, I will fall into a trap….” The little girl rubbed her smooth chin thoughtfully. She believed in her gut feeling, which was why she had followed Fang Jinyu back.
When she first met Fang Jinyu, she didn’t feel any malice from him. In fact, she felt that if she were to stay with him, she could reduce a lot of trouble and danger.
Fang Jinyu was stunned.
Could it be that the woman’s sixth sense was really that terrifying?
Before Fang Jinyu transmigrated, he had never been in a relationship, so he could only sigh at the horror in his heart and never mention it again.
“Then how are we going to take revenge on that Ximen?”
Fang Jinyu said, “Ximen Jianyi will be severely injured by his master within a few days. Not only will he lose most of his strength, but he might even faint. That time, we will sneak over, and you can beat him up to vent your anger.”
“Alright!” The little girl agreed immediately. Then, she clenched her two small hands into fists as if she were going to kill Ximen Jianyi.
Fang Jinyu continued and said, “So, go to Mount Lingjian again and see when there will be a fight.” Although the book mentioned that Su Yier’s master and Ximen Jianyi would fight over Su Yier three months after she left the sect, he had no idea when exactly it would happen.
When the little girl heard Fang Jinyu’s words, she immediately ran off joyfully.
“Since Su Yier has left the Tianling Sect, I can try to refine the Green Phoenix Scissors now.” Fang Jinyu had been thinking about his second magic treasure since he got it.
Fang Jinyu opened the seal again and summoned the magic treasure in his body.
Firstly, the stone orb flew out, surrounded by a murky electric arc. It circled Fang Jinyu once, then quietly hovered before him, not revealing any of its aurae.
Fang Jinyu had refined it.
The immortal estate was then abundant in the wind and fire-attributed spiritual energy. Amid the change in spiritual energy, the Green Phoenix Scissors appeared late, bringing terrifying pressure as soon as they appeared.
After Fang Jinyu chanted a spell, the magic treasure finally began to calm down.
