Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 388: I Want Them All!


"..."

Seeing the young man's humble, awkward, helpless expression, yet revealing a hint of pride, he remained silent.

Opening his mouth, he originally wanted to ask how these two young fellows ended up at the point of divorce, no, breaking off an engagement, but couldn't squeeze out a word for half a day.

Truly.

He had lived nearly a thousand years, yet hadn't lived as splendidly as this young man had in twenty years.

He naturally had heard of Yan Yurou. Lan Tianyong was about the same age as him, an old thing who, even as his time approached, specifically took in a closed-door disciple. To think, he hadn't taken a satisfactory disciple in three hundred years.

To break this pattern for her, one could imagine how terrifyingly gifted that little girl was.

Although he rarely left the deep mountains for many years, some juniors in the sect would sometimes come to chat with him, and naturally, the most talked-about topic was about the juniors.

Having recently emerged from years of seclusion, he naturally could hear a lot of interesting stories and rumors happening within the sect, and if he remembered correctly, this young man seemed to have quite a reputation outside, which he couldn't have imagined.

So he got involved with the granddaughter of that old thing from Cen Family Village? And has connections with people from the Taixu Sect?

"...On Swordmaster Peak, you are undoubtedly the first."

"?"

The young man just widened his dog eyes.

It was clear he hadn't realized this so-called praise wasn't praising his strength, but rather his remarkable affinity with women.

The old man didn't linger on this topic but naturally said, "The affairs of young people are beyond my control. If Swordmaster Peak flourishes, it's likely that your Fourth Uncle would smile even in the afterlife. Back then, the youth Liu Jian not leaving any heirs caused a stir among uncles, and he was nearly expelled from the sect."

He wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead.

Matchmaking pressure seems to be an inherited custom, no wonder his senior sister always had a headache.

"Young man, I have to apologize to you."

"Last time you were attacked in the sect, it was because this group of lazy and incompetent fools failed to guard properly, letting someone take advantage. Knowing you had previously offended the Xuanyin Sect, they still placed your generation of disciples together."

"I can understand not capturing Xuan Xiaozi. After all, he is of the same generation as me. Even if his physical body was destroyed, his Divine Soul remains, undying and indestructible unless he reveals himself, no one can catch him."

"But their inability to detect Ma Hong's abnormality is entirely their own fault. Logically, at least one protector and one elder should have been present to supervise, but this time they made a fool of themselves."

The old man sighed and shook his head while Jiang Feng, in such moments, didn't know how to respond and could only awkwardly smile.

What else could he say?

Old man, you're right, they really are a bunch of worthless fools?

How could Purple Cloud Palace fail to protect its own disciples?

Or should I hold you accountable?

If he really said that, he'd probably pack up and leave immediately.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these matters. Last time, the Sect Master allowed you to choose a treasure for yourself. Although you went to the Treasure Pavilion and Scripture Pavilion, you didn't find anything you liked. Now there's an opportunity, you can choose one more thing here."

His eyebrows rose.

A wave of uncontrolled joy passed through his heart. Being nearly killed doesn't matter, as long as the compensation is sufficient, it's all good.

Zhang Shanyuan didn't linger on this topic either, with a wave of his hand, time around them started flowing again, and soon the murmurs of fellow brothers and juniors were heard once more.

None of the disciples noticed anything unusual, since only a few minutes had passed since they entered the Gathering Yuan Tower, and everyone's attention was captivated by the array of treasures around them.

"Look closely, this is the Mysterious Moon Pipa. Oh, truly extraordinary."

"Its quality is excellent, shining with flowing light. I heard exchanging for an Earth Rank Magic Treasure in the sect would require at least tens of thousands of spiritual energy. Normally, even slaying a Core Formation Stage evil spirit barely yields a hundred, and even for those at the Nascent Soul Stage, obtaining a lesser Earth Rank Magic Treasure would take decades."

"Yes, moreover, this Mysterious Moon Pipa is of top quality. If exchanged for spiritual energy, it might cost tens of thousands, and ordinary disciples, no, even stewards, can't gather that in decades."

"What a pity, this item was obtained by the Sect Master through great efforts for Junior Sister Yun. Even if we procured it, it would be useless and might even offend Junior Sister Yun."

"You all stop discussing whether it offends anyone. Rest assured, Junior Sister Yun and Uncle Yun aren't as narrow-minded as you think."

Hearing the conversation among other junior brothers, Gu Miyun just turned around, throughout which Zhang Shanyuan didn't speak but stood by smilingly observing the disciples.

No matter how they chose, decided, or exchanged, it was none of his concern; he was only responsible for supervising these youngsters, ensuring they didn't cause a ruckus they couldn't handle.

"Uncle Yun has already given the Yuzhu Peak's heritage Magic Treasure to Junior Sister Yun. In other words, although this item is useful to her, it's not essential. If any junior brothers are interested, you can speak up. Is there anyone who wants it?"

All shook their heads.

At this time, someone naturally needed to take the initiative to maintain order. Zhang Shanyuan didn't speak from beginning to end, specifically to train these children in independence, but the result was as most present expected.
