I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 564: I can only choose a showdown, Hateful

The matter of rescuing Ji Sheng Chu, the Ancestor of the Ji family, was the matter of the Ji family. But on a bigger scale, it was a major issue related to the safety of the entire Upper Realm.

As a former Human Ancestor, Ji Sheng Chu’s skills were astounding, and he was trapped in Mount Kun for so many eras, but he never died. If he could get out of trouble, he would definitely be able to solve this scourge of Absolute Heavenly Extinction.

Not to mention the fact that Ji Sheng Chu once helped various major forces and sects. In terms of emotion and reason, under this premise, as long as Gu Changge proposed to let many younger generations discuss the matter of rescuing Ji Sheng Chu, no one could refuse.

After all, this was based on the righteousness that concerned the safety of the Upper Realm. So he could take the lead and set an example.

“Yes, master.” Yin Mei understood what Gu Changge meant, and quickly went back to give orders.

It just so happened that Kunwu City was now filled with talented people from all races and traditions. She felt that no one would dare not come when invited by Gu Changge. This was the case even for Xiao Zhanxian and others who had just been under an assassination attempt.

After Yin Mei left, Su Qingge, who had been waiting outside the palace, entered this time.

“Qingxuan greets the Young Master.” She couldn’t hide the complicated meaning in her heart and greeted.

Gu Changge was not surprised by her arrival. However, there was still a slightly surprised look on her face, he smiled slightly and said, “Qingxuan, what’s the matter?”

Su Qingge was actually very confused about why Gu Changge ordered someone to assassinate Xiao Zhanxian. Logically speaking, this was what she should consider as the inheritor of demonic art. She was the one who should be worried about her identity being exposed.

Judging from Gu Changge’s personality, he would not do meaningless things, that was to say, he had someone assassinate Xiao Zhanxian with a purpose. But even after thinking about it, Su Qingge couldn’t figure out the reason.

Could it be the strangeness that Xiao Zhanxian displayed at the Divine Stone Conference? But her current identity was Ji Qingxuan, and she didn’t know how to ask.

“Young Master, I actually overheard something about you and Yin Mei…” Su Qingge carefully considered his words and said.

Of course, she didn’t hear it by accident, but guessed it through analysis, knowing that Gu Changge definitely sent someone to assassinate Xiao Zhanxian.

“Oh, what did you hear?” Gu Changge asked with interest, knowingly.

“I heard that the Young Master sent people to assassinate Xiao Zhanxian, but please rest assured, Young Master, I will never say anything about it.” Su Qingge replied, it seemed that she was worried that Gu Changge would have a bad heart, so she hurriedly promised.

“So what if you did hear it?” Gu Changge smiled lightly, “Are you wondering why I wanted to kill him?”

Confusion appeared on Su Qingge’s unparalleled beautiful face, and she nodded, “Yes.”

“I wanted to kill him, naturally because he knows something he shouldn’t know.” Gu Changge said lightly, with the smile disappearing from his face.

“Things he shouldn’t know?” Su Qingge’s heart shuddered, and cold air suddenly hit her back.

She raised her shining eyes, looked at Gu Changge’s calm face, and for some reason felt that there was something hidden in his words. Did Xiao Zhanxian know something he shouldn’t?

Did that mean that he knew the true identity of the inheritor of demonic art? Otherwise, were there other possibilities?

As the leader of the younger generation in the Upper Realm, Gu Changge didn’t want to kill her after he knew the identity of the inheritor of demonic art but helped her cover up her traces and flaws.

Su Qingge was very smart, she couldn’t think of any other explanation except this possibility. If Gu Changge already knew her true identity, then it seemed that Gu Changge should have known about the exchange of identities between her and Ji Qingxuan.

He just kept pretending not to know. For a moment, thinking of all these possibilities, Su Qingge’s head buzzed, and her heart was also very confused.

“My lord, do you know everything?” After a long silence, Su Qingge calmed herself down, her voice trembling slightly.

She didn’t expect that when she came to see Gu Changge today, she would learn so much information. What was the point of pretending during this time?

“What do I know?” Gu Changge asked with a faint smile.

“I once remembered that the Young Master said that if he knew the identity of the inheritor of demonic art, he would definitely not let him stay in the world.” Su Qingge’s eye sockets were slightly red, and her voice trembled.

She thought of when she was in the True Immortal Academy, that time she had almost exposed her identity and faced doubts from the Elders, but Gu Changge chose to believe her for no reason.

From that time on, she decided to hide her identity as the inheritor of demonic art forever, not wanting to let Gu Changge know. Even at the moment of death.

Because she didn’t want to see Gu Changge’s disappointed expression. She didn’t expect that in the end, Gu Changge not only found out her true identity but also thought of ways to cover her tracks and solve the trouble of revealing her identity for her.

This was no longer something that could be described with a simple word like kindness. Hearing this, Gu Changge shook his head lightly. He knew that this was Su Qingge planning to have a showdown with him.

After all, she was so smart, from the assassination of Xiao Zhanxian this time, one could guess the reasons for everything. There was no point in hiding it any longer.

“It seems that you still remember this sentence…” Gu Changge had a plain and casual look on his face, but his eyes suddenly turned a little deep.

Su Qingge lowered her eyes as she spoke with pain and guilt, “I’m sorry I let you down.”

She didn’t know whether Gu Changge was angry or sighed.

“Then do you want me to kill you now?” Gu Changge asked lightly.

When Su Qingge heard this, she felt inexplicably bitter and relieved, knowing that her guess was right. From the beginning to the end, Gu Changge was just acting with her.

“If the Young Master wants to kill me, he will definitely not keep me alive until now.” Su Qingge took a deep breath before she calmed herself down, and replied.

“Oh, you are so confident. You know, there are many people who want to kill you now. Do you think I will be different from them?” Gu Changge asked with interest.

“I didn’t kill you before because you were Ji Qingxuan, but now you are Su Qingge, the inheritor of the demonic art.”

Hearing this, Su Qingge shook her head. Her eyes were slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, “My lord, you are different from others. Others will kill me, but you won’t.”

Her tone was very persistent, without the slightest wavering of emotion. If Gu Changge wanted to kill her, why bother to cover up her traces and send someone to assassinate Xiao Zhanxian?

“Do you think I’m not willing to kill you?” Gu Changge smiled lightly and suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch her delicate white neck.

Su Qingge didn’t have the slightest worry. She shook her head, and said softly, “If the Young Master really wants to kill me, I won’t have any complaints. To die in the Young Master’s hands may be my best destination.” She was telling the truth, all these years of hiding had made her extremely tired.

It would be a relief if she died so peacefully.

“Forget it, I’m not a cold and heartless person. You came here with me from the Lower Realm, and since things turned out like this. I also have an inescapable responsibility.” Gu Changge sighed softly, and let her go, “Whether you are an inheritor of demonic art or an ordinary cultivator, to me, it’s all the same.”

“No matter what Qingge’s status is, she has always been the master’s maid, and this has never changed.” Su Qingge’s eyes were slightly red, knowing how much of a trade-off it would take for Gu Changge to keep her alive.

After all, once her identity was revealed, Gu Changge was bound to be greatly implicated and it would have a great impact on him.

…

There was an uproar in the entire Kunwu City because of the assassination of Xiao Zhanxian.

The news that Gu Changge planned to have a banquet for many young geniuses in the Star Gazing Tower the day after tomorrow to discuss the rescue of Ancestor Ji Sheng Chu, spread quickly like wings, causing a huge sensation.

Many cultivators and creatures were amazed. They did not expect that Gu Changge really planned to invade Mount Kun with the Ji family to rescue Ji Sheng Chu. This made everyone admire and at the same time they deeply felt that this matter was not simple.

After all, Gu Changge’s move was equivalent to inviting the heirs and geniuses from all ethnic groups to go together. Yet it was self-evident how dangerous Mount Kun was, even the Supreme one had to be careful.

If the rest of the young Supremes stepped into it, wouldn’t it be equivalent to death?

“Gu Changge invited us personally, and he still has the righteousness of rescuing the Human Ancestor. Even if he doesn’t go, it would be somewhat unreasonable. This is directly putting everyone on the fire to roast.”

Many celebrities of the older generation couldn’t sit still. If the invitation was rejected, it would not only affect the momentum of many young people who were showing their sharpness.

It was more likely to frustrate their Dao heart. Although the trip to Mount Kun was dangerous, Gu Changge, as the leader of the younger generation, had already taken the lead and disregarded life and death.

If other people choose to shrink back and be afraid, what would this mean?

The Six Crown King, the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, the Heavenly Demon Monarch, the Little Sage King, Jin Chan Buddha… many young lords received invitation letters and became extremely silent.

From the perspective of the righteousness of the Upper Realm, they had no reason to refuse.

“Damn it, Gu Changge is planning to force us to go to Mount Kun! He must be punished!!” Xiao Zhanxian, An Xi, and others also received this invitation letter at this moment, and their faces became extremely ugly.

They thought that after surviving this catastrophe, a period of calm would return. But who would have thought that Gu Changge had set up a second trick?

In order to prevent Xiao Zhanxian from refusing on the grounds of being injured, Gu Changge even specially ordered someone to send a sacred medicine for healing to express his concern for Xiao Zhanxian after he was assassinated.

Such a move was tantamount to slapping them hard in the face, making them humiliated.

“The person who assassinated me was definitely sent by Gu Changge, and he is still sending healing things with good intentions! It’s simply hateful.”

Based on Xiao Zhanxian’s state of mind, his emotions and anger were invisible. His face was also pale at this moment, whereas his fists were clenched tightly. He touched the injury again, a mouthful of stagnant blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
