I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 569: It’s a matter of life and death, I think you should save her

“An old friend is looking for me?”

In the palace, Xiao Ruoyin was sitting cross-legged with shining silver runes on her body, when suddenly she opened her eyes after hearing the report from the disciple outside the palace.

She frowned, wondering if Jiang Chen was looking for her. During this period of time, she stayed in the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace and never went out. She still didn’t know what happened in the Star Gazing Tower today.

“Yes, this is a letter from Senior Sister Ruoyin that your old friend entrusted to me. Please have a look at it.” The disciple outside the palace spoke respectfully, holding a letter in his hand.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ruoyin nodded, got up, and walked outside the hall, wondering why Jiang Chen was looking for her. It just so happened that she also wanted to find Jiang Chen, and planned to try to get back her Immortal Boat.

However, when Xiao Ruoyin opened the letter, she was stunned, and her brows frowned tightly.

“Niu Tian is looking for me? Isn’t it Jiang Chen?” Xiao Ruoyin’s complexion changed a little, and only she could recognize the handwriting on the letter.

The content was also very simple, it said that Jiang Chen was in trouble and needed her help. This made her hesitate a bit, considering whether to meet Niu Tian.

After awakening the memory of the Prophet of Destiny. Those former friends, including Niu Tian, Jiang Chen, etc., were actually irrelevant to her, as long as it didn’t affect her recovery to the peak.

There were thousands of laws in the world, but only the Dao was unique. Because Jiang Chen was transformed by the Artifact Spirit of the Immortal Boat, it was special to her, so she needed to pay too much attention.

“What kind of trouble did Jiang Chen encounter? Even Niu Tian had to ask me for help?” With that, Xiao Ruoyin’s expression returned to normal. After thinking about it carefully, she decided to meet Niu Tian.

In the inn outside the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, she quickly found Niu Tian in the corner according to the contents of the letter.

“Ruoyin, are you here?” Niu Tian, who was frowning and waiting, didn’t expect Xiao Ruoyin to come so soon. He looked up and saw her with a pleasant expression on his face.

In his opinion, Xiao Ruoyin came to see him so soon, which showed that she still cared about Jiang Chen’s life and death, and would not stand by and watch. However, the current Xiao Ruoyin was quite different from the Xiao Ruoyin he was familiar with before.

Although her appearance had not changed much, she exuded a lonely and cold aura that didn’t care about worldly matters, like an Immortal from the Immortal Palace, who could blow away at any time.

Fluttering white clothes, flying blue hair, fair and flawless face, exquisite and beautiful facial features along with her crystal clear eyes with an incomprehensible depth.

Compared with Niu Tian standing up, Xiao Ruoyin looked very calm and indifferent, glanced at him, and said, “What trouble did Jiang Chen get into? That you had to come to me?”

Her words were flat, and she didn’t mean to catch up with old friends. This alienated and indifferent look made Niu Tian’s smile freeze on his face all of a sudden. It made him a little embarrassed and unbelievable, then he slowly sat back.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling a little disappointed. Xiao Ruoyin in front of him was really strange. This made him couldn’t help but think of the many changes in Xiao Ruoyin that Jiang Chen complained to him about during this period of time.

“If it’s not urgent, I actually don’t want to bother you, but I really have no other choice. Now I guess only you can save Jiang Chen… He is in danger, a matter of life and death, Today in the Star Gazing Tower, Gu Changge sent people to arrest him.”

Niu Tian took a deep breath, calmed down, and then told Xiao Ruoyin all the things that happened today in detail.

“Jiang Chen was arrested by Gu Changge?” Hearing these words, Xiao Ruoyin frowned all of a sudden, feeling that this matter was very difficult, not as simple as Niu Tian thought.

Now she was walking on thin ice beside Gu Changge, cautious, not as comfortable and free as everyone thought. How could she save Jiang Chen?

“There is no way around this. When Jiang Chen was in the Star Gazing Tower today, Gu Changge saw through Jiang Chen’s disguise. He is probably being imprisoned now, and his life and death are unpredictable. In the hands of a cruel and ruthless person like Gu Changge, Jiang Chen will probably suffer inhuman torture. If no one saves him, it will be very difficult for him to survive.” Niu Tian sighed, with an unconcealable ambiguity in his sad words.

“Why do you think I can save Jiang Chen?” Hearing these words, Xiao Ruoyin was silent for a while, her expression did not change, she just asked in a flat voice.

“Gu Changge is so kind to you, Ruoyin, I think you should have a way. You just need to whisper love in Gu Changge’s ear. Maybe for your sake, he will let Jiang Chen go.” Hearing this, Niu Tian smiled wryly.

Xiao Ruoyin frowned, she didn’t know if Niu Tian was telling the truth or just joking. Didn’t he know what kind of person Gu Changge was?

If she dared to persuade Gu Changge, what would be the result? And what would Gu Changge think?

At that time, her situation would probably get worse.

“Ruoyin, don’t get me wrong, I actually don’t mean anything else. When Gu Changge released us from the dungeon, he should have known about your relationship with Jiang Chen. Looking at this level of friendship, if you plead with him, it should be fine. If you really have no choice, then I can only find another way.” Seeing Xiao Ruoyin silent for a while, Niu Tian couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. Worried that she would refuse, he hurriedly explained.

“I know, I’ll do my best. But I can’t guarantee whether Jiang Chen can be rescued.” After a long silence, Xiao Ruoyin sighed inwardly and then agreed.

She also knew that now there was no other way. If Gu Changge killed Jiang Chen, then she would not be able to get back her Immortal Boat. No matter what the reason was, she had to find a way to rescue Jiang Chen, at least not let him be killed by Gu Changge now.

“That’s great, I knew you’d say yes.” Niu Tian was overjoyed and heaved a sigh of relief.

Once he got Xiao Ruoyin’s promise, he didn’t stay for long, and left in a hurry, fearing that it would bring criticism to Xiao Ruoyin. In his opinion, Xiao Ruoyin must have paid something to get her current status. Apart from her beauty, he couldn’t think of anything else about Xiao Ruoyin.

“It really doesn’t give me any peace of mind.” Seeing Niu Tian leave, Xiao Ruoyin shook her head, thought for a while. Then she went to the place where Gu Changge had been during this time.

She knew that Gu Changge would lead people into Mount Kun to rescue the Ancestor of the Ji family tomorrow, so she didn’t know how much time she had. If she didn’t hurry up to see Gu Changge, she didn’t know when would she have to wait for the next time.

…

Boom!!

At this moment, in the damp and dark dungeon, a young man was covered in blood and lying unconscious on the ground in a state of embarrassment.

In the next moment, a basin of cold water was suddenly poured down, he was startled, and suddenly opened his eyes, which were bloodshot, with anger and hatred.

“You woke up?” The jailer on the side sneered, and put down the cold water he was about to pour down.

Jiang Chen’s expression gradually recovered from his confusion, and he struggled to get up from the ground.

He felt severe pain all over his body, countless bones were broken, and all internal organs were ruptured. After being slapped by the old man who looked like a housekeeper, he felt a hundred times more uncomfortable than being pressed down by a mountain.

If he hadn’t possessed the Divine Body of Good Fortune, it probably would not be as simple as just suffering from this injury.

“Where is this?” Jiang Chen looked around, sizing up the environment here, and noticed that there were many bloodstains and scratches on the walls, as well as cold chains that especially penetrated through the lute bone.

It was clearly a dark dungeon. Then, he noticed the man in black clothes standing in front of him. Jiang Chen suddenly trembled, humiliation, anger, and hatred could not be concealed in his eyes.

“Gu… Chang… Ge!” He stared intently, and almost squeezed out these three words from his teeth.

Behind Gu Changge, stood Ji Yaoxing and Ji Chu Yue. But Ji Chu Yue didn’t dare to make eye contact with Jiang Chen. When they were at the banquet before, Jiang Chen had been looking at her all the time. Although she understood, she kept avoiding his gaze.

The same was true today.

“It seems that your injury is not serious enough, and you still have the strength to speak.” Gu Changge smiled lightly, and the jailer next to him handed him a cup of steaming tea.

He breathed out lightly and unhurriedly, appearing extremely leisurely and natural.

“I’m going to fight you!” Looking at Gu Changge’s casually looking down at him, Jiang Chen gnawed his teeth. He rushed up to fight him desperately regardless of the severe pain all over his body.

But before he could make a move, the jailer at the side looked cold, kicked him directly, and scolded, “How dare you be presumptuous in front of the Young Master! Don’t seek your own death!”

“Puff!!”

How could Jiang Chen, who was covered in injuries, bear such a kick now. He suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood mixed with a lot of internal organ fragments?

The whole person flew out and fell on the wall, looking even more embarrassed. Ji Chu Yue couldn’t bear it, but she didn’t dare to say anything in front of Gu Changge.

“Sister, you should come and talk to him personally.” Seeing this, Ji Yaoxing couldn’t help shaking his head, worried that Gu Changge might misunderstand something, so he asked Ji Chu Yue to cut off the relationship with Jiang Chen by herself.

In this way, she and Jiang Chen could also give up their hearts and stop having illusions. Ji Chu Yue’s small face turned slightly pale. Hearing this, she glanced at her brother, then at Gu Changge who was casual and indifferent, then gritted her teeth and walked forward cruelly.

Gradually, as if she had figured it out, the expression on her face gradually became calm.

“Chu Yue… I know you can’t help yourself, and you have a hard time. I don’t blame you.” Jiang Chen got up from the ground, looked at her, and seemed to have guessed what Ji Chuyue was going to say. But at this time, he still smiled understandingly.

“Jiang Chen, don’t be so sentimental, don’t you understand until now? Why is your identity exposed?” Ji Chuyue shook her head, and said in a cold voice, “You are a sensible person, you can be used by Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu is magnanimous, and maybe he can spare your life, regardless of your previous offenses.”

“Chu Yue, you don’t have to say this, I know you are not such a person.” Hearing these words, Jiang Chen endured severe pain all over his body, but couldn’t help laughing.

He understood that Ji Chu Yue was forced. She was a kind-hearted girl, and she would never do such a thing as reveal his identity. The one in front of him was just a faux pas.

“You!” Ji Chu Yue frowned, secretly anxious.

She was saving Jiang Chen, as long as he was obedient and was used by Gu Changge, he would survive, why couldn’t he understand?

“It seems that you haven’t figured it out yet, so let me tell you bluntly. The Ji family wants to rescue their Ancestor, and you carry the inheritance of the Divine Origin Master, so you can help the Ji family in Mount Kun. After you rescue the Ancestor of the Ji family, you will be the benefactor of the Ji family, and even the Ancestor of the Ji family will be grateful to you.”

“Don’t you have thoughts about Ji Chu Yue? At that time, the Ancestor of the Ji family will support you, and it is not impossible for you to be the son-in-law of the Ji family.”

Gu Changge smiled faintly, waved his hand, and interrupted what Ji Chu Yue was going to say.

Immediately afterward, he walked over, and suddenly wrapped his other hand around Ji Chu Yue’s slender waist, causing her to stand there in a daze, with a look of bewilderment on her little face.

“Gu Changge, what do you mean?” Seeing this, Jiang Chen’s complexion became extremely ugly, his eyes almost spitfire, and he really wanted to cut off Gu Changge’s hand.

Ji Chu Yue’s head was also buzzing, and she froze in place, not daring to move at all. However, Gu Changge seemed unable to see Jiang Chen’s expression or turned a blind eye to his gaze.

Still smiling faintly, he stretched out his hand to caress the frightened little face in front of him.

“You can also see that Ji Chu Yue doesn’t want to be my concubine. If you don’t want her to be played with by me at will like today, I think you should find a way to save her.”

“If you rescue the Ancestor of the Ji family, you may marry Ji Chu Yue and become the son-in-law of the Ji family. Or be crushed to death by me. You choose one of these two choices.”
