I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

Xinxi’s answerTai Xuan Holy Land.

Xuanguan Hall.

When the Grand Elder saw Xiao Fan, who was on his last breath, his mind was blank.

No, don’t play with me, Saint, didn’t you say everything was under control?

“Grand Elder, save him,” Jiang Lanzhi said with teary eyes.

The Grand Elder reached out, and Xiao Fan floated up, suspended before him, but no matter how he looked, he couldn’t find anything amiss.

There was no other way, so the Grand Elder had to invite the Elder of the Dan Pavilion to help examine him.

Xiao Fan continued to feign death, as he had only harvested a small amount of tears, which was not enough.

The Dan Pavilion Elder arrived to diagnose Xiao Fan.

“I leave him to you,” the Grand Elder said in a deep voice.

The Dan Pavilion took it very seriously, even waking up the Mahayana Realm Dan Pavilion Old Ancestor who was in seclusion.

Xiao Fan had an accident in the Holy Land; if he wasn’t saved, it would be difficult to explain to the Xiao Family and the Holy Lord.

“I will do my best,” the Dan Pavilion Elder said solemnly.

He knew the importance of the situation; putting aside their relationship, he had also heard of Xiao Fan’s talent, a true pillar of the Holy Land, and he had to give his all.

In the main hall, only Xiao Fan and the Elder of the Dan Pavilion remained; everyone else had gone outside to await news.

Outside the hall, Jiang Lanzhi was restless; her jade hands were clenched into fists, her palms sweating.

“If they can’t cure you, then I can only use my own method,” she thought to herself.

In her previous life, she was the Empress of Unfeeling; although she was not skilled in the Dao of Alchemy, she had learned some strange healing techniques.

However, it would require a great price.

Outside the hall, everyone waited anxiously, their faces filled with unease.

Worry, impatience, panic—various emotions intertwined, making the atmosphere heavy and somewhat oppressive.

The Mahayana Elder of the Dan Pavilion entered the main hall for an hour and finally came out.

“How is he?” Jiang Lanzhi asked anxiously.

The Dan Pavilion Elder shook his head, stating his powerlessness:

“The Saint’s symptoms are very strange; his body is clearly intact, and his Divine Soul is very healthy, but there seems to be something strange mixed within him.”

“I can’t see through that thing; I am powerless.”

The Dan Pavilion Elder shook his head, looking helpless.

The Grand Elder said, “Alright, you may return.”

“Yes.”

The Grand Elder thought for a moment whether to inform the Holy Lord, but the Holy Lord was at a critical juncture in his seclusion and could not be distracted.

After some thought, he decided to inform the Xiao Family Patriarch to let him know the situation.

The Grand Elder indeed did so, and the letter reached the Xiao Family a few days later.

But his father knew Xiao Fan best: he was afraid of death, lustful, and cunning. Would he run to the Northern Underworld Demon Cave for the Tai Xuan Holy Land, knowing it was dangerous?

Impossible!

After reading the letter, he found that Jiang Lanzhi had gone with him, and he roughly guessed what was happening: this guy was definitely tricking people, most likely deceiving Jiang Lanzhi.

To verify the truth, he looked into the distance, his pupils glowing with a faint golden light, capable of piercing through the endless Void Realm. He saw that Xiao Fan was perfectly normal.

He couldn’t help but curse, “This kid’s deception skills are first-rate.”

After some thought, he decided to help him out. The Xiao Family Patriarch replied:

“I already know about the matter. He won’t die; ignore him.”

These were all later developments.

After hearing the Dan Pavilion Elder’s words, Jiang Lanzhi had already decided to perform a special treatment on Xiao Fan.

Xin Xi also received the news and rushed over in a hurry.

“What happened to the Saint?”

Jiang Lanzhi and Xin Xi looked at each other, both seeing the extraordinary in each other’s eyes.

Jiang Lanzhi’s cultivation was low at this time, so she could only rely on intuition to sense Xin Xi’s power.

But Xin Xi’s cultivation was unfathomable; she could see Jiang Lanzhi’s abnormality at a glance. This person’s understanding of the Dao far surpassed that of Mortal Cultivators.

“Who are you?”

A woman’s intuition made Jiang Lanzhi wary; she saw that Xin Xi posed a great threat to her, of course, referring to the closeness of their positions in Xiao Fan’s heart.

Xin Xi said lightly, “You must be the Saint’s fiancée.”

“If it weren’t for you, the Saint wouldn’t have gone to that Demon Cave. If anything happens to the Saint, you won’t have an easy time either.”

“Uh…” Before the Grand Elder could speak, Xin Xi rushed in.

He had heard of Xin Xi’s background; she was directly arranged by the Holy Lord for the Saint, and her status was very special.

“Grand Elder, her!” Jiang Lanzhi saw her enter and quickly called out.

The Grand Elder smiled and said, “It’s alright, she’s the Saint’s maidservant, she won’t harm the Saint.”

Inside the main hall, Xin Xi saw Xiao Fan lying on the jade couch, and her entire body froze there.

Especially when she saw his haggard face, looking like a corpse, her heart was twisted as if by a knife.

“What happened?!” Xin Xi quickly went forward to check Xiao Fan’s condition.

When she got closer and looked, she couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He was fine after all.

However, the Saint feigning death must have a reason.

Therefore, Xin Xi immediately set up a Restriction to block perception, preventing outsiders from sensing the situation here.

“Saint, stop pretending, I know you’re fine,” Xin Xi said softly.

Xiao Fan knew that his methods were only good enough to deceive Mortals.

In front of Xin Xi, they weren’t even considered child’s play.

He sat up from the jade couch, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and said with a smile:

“You saw through me.”

“You scared me, I thought something had happened to you, Saint,” Xin Xi said faintly, still a little scared.

“I have my reasons for doing this,” Xiao Fan said earnestly.

“Of course, I can’t tell you the reason. Can you understand what I mean?”

“It’s fine if you don’t understand; I wasn’t going to explain it to you anyway.”

Xin Xi smiled and said, “Saint, you must have your grand ambitions. You don’t need to explain to me, I understand everything.”

Xiao Fan shook his head and said, “I’ve never had grand ambitions; I just want to flirt with and play with women.”

Xin Xi was stunned to hear this. Was he really that sincere?

“I’m just saying this to remind you that if you stay by my side, you might gain many more sisters in the future.”

It’s better to be decisive now than to suffer later. He would make it clear to her now, lest she couldn’t accept it later.

“Then what is our relationship?” Xin Xi said uneasily, with hope in her eyes.

Xiao Fan took her hand, gently pulled her into his embrace, and said softly:

“You and Yu Yue hold irreplaceable positions in my heart. Even if there are many more women in the future, you two will not be replaced.”

“Of course, if you feel wronged, you can leave now; I won’t force you.”

Xin Xi did not object; instead, her eyes sparkled with joy, and her peach blossom eyes stared intently at him, saying, “Are we sisters truly irreplaceable? Saint, you wouldn’t lie to me, would you?”

Oh, she accepted? He was a little surprised.

Xiao Fan affirmed, “Of course, I, Xiao Fan, never lie to women.”

Xin Xi was clearly fooled by this guy; she buried her head in his arms and said:

“Saint, your future will surely be boundless. I can understand having more women.”

“I only ask, Saint, that you don’t neglect me and my sister.”

Neglect? Impossible.

Twins have attribute bonuses! Only second to mother and daughter blooming together.

“How could I? You two will always be unique in my heart.”

Xin Xi snuggled contentedly in his arms, her jade hand unconsciously reaching out to embrace his waist.

Xiao Fan gently held her, without too many movements, very naturally, otherwise, it would be bad if he was exposed later.

“Oh, right, I can tell that you two sisters have extraordinary identities. Who arranged for you to be my maidservants?” Xiao Fan suddenly asked, knowing his mother was so powerful, his courage had grown quite a bit.

Xin Xi clearly didn’t react to why he would ask such a question.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer.

“Is it inconvenient to disclose?”

“No, Saint, if you want to know, Xin Xi can tell you everything,” Xin Xi affirmed.

That good? Are you sure you’re not hiding anything, keeping me in suspense?

“First, tell me your identity?”

“Vice Palace Master of Yaochi Immortal Palace; my sister is the Palace Master.”

Although he was mentally prepared, this opening still gave Xiao Fan a small shock.

Xiao Fan: “Who sent you?”

“No one, we came ourselves, we just informed the Tai Xuan Holy Lord.”

Xiao Fan paused, then said, “Uh, is there a reason?”

Xin Xi said softly, “Yes, Saint, you once saved us sisters, but you might not remember.”

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming; Xiao Fan felt his brain wasn’t enough for a moment. I saved them sisters?

“Why don’t I remember?”

Xin Xi smiled and said, “I don’t know, but I know that you, Saint, helped us when we sisters were hungry, homeless, and most helpless, teaching us the Dao and taking care of us.”

“Without the Saint, we sisters would probably have frozen to death on that snowy night long ago.”

Why does it sound more and more bizarre? The problem is I really didn’t do it!

“Alright, I have a question about the Holy Lord, and I hope you can answer it.”

“No problem, anything I know, I will definitely tell you.”

Xiao Fan whispered, “Uh, I heard the Holy Lord is a woman. I wanted to ask, is she beautiful?”
