Villain: I Can See Destiny

8: Chapter 8 The Ancestor of the Upper Realm?”Ah...”

Yao Xuan, who was just about to escape, let out a miserable scream.

He never expected that Xia Yanran would suddenly try to kill him, and caught off guard, he was stabbed in the heart by her sword.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, his powerful combat instincts caused him to step back.

Otherwise, he would have been pierced through the heart and killed by this sword.

”Damn, this girl is quite ruthless.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo was also surprised; he hadn’t expected that to gain his trust, she could be so ruthless, completely disregarding their past relationship.

Severely injured, and at the most critical moment, Yao Xuan used his last life-saving talisman to break through the air and escape.

”What happened?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo put on an oblivious expression.

”Young Master Xiao... I have disappointed you.”

A look of slight self-reproach appeared on Xia Yanran’s beautiful face.

Any man seeing this expression would choose to forgive her.

She could naturally tell that Young Master Xiao Zimo’s expression was an act.

Thinking of how he had been observing from the shadows the whole time, a chill ran down her spine.

This man was too terrifying.

Fortunately, she had made no mistakes in her performance just now.

”What disappointment? I just forgot to pick something up.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo came into the pavilion, picked up the wine glass he had drunk from earlier, and shook it at Xia Yanran.

Seeing Young Master Xiao Zimo playing dumb, Xia Yanran did not mind: ”Just now, I saw Yao Xuan escaping from the death cell; it was my lack of ability that let him get away.”

Hearing this, Young Master Xiao Zimo said with a concerned look: ”Yanran, you aren’t hurt, are you?”

Xia Yanran shook her head.

Suddenly, Young Master Xiao Zimo stepped forward and gently pulled Xia Yanran into his arms.

Although she was already his slave, he still had to properly win her over.

Xia Yanran’s delicate body trembled, and she stood frozen in place, blinking her flawless, jade-like eyes.

”It was my negligence; I shouldn’t have left you here alone, almost letting you encounter danger.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo looked apologetic.

Xia Yanran looked at Young Master Xiao Zimo’s face, which was full of tenderness, and those peach blossom eyes that could bewitch people.

She admitted that her heart had become chaotic and moved.

Even though she knew all of this was an act.

”Thank you for your concern, Young Master.”

Xia Yanran leaned quietly in Young Master Xiao Zimo’s embrace.

”From now on, don’t think of yourself as a slave.” Young Master Xiao Zimo said softly.

Hearing this, Xia Yanran lifted her head, looking at Young Master Xiao Zimo with eyes full of surprise: ”Young Master, then am I your maid now?”

”Yes, you are my first maid.”

Although Young Master Xiao Zimo had accepted Xia Yanran as a maid, he did not remove her slave seal.

Until she was completely devoted to him, it was impossible for him to remove the slave seal.

”First maid?”

Xia Yanran wondered in her heart.

...

The matter of Yao Xuan escaping from the death cell was soon discovered by the Disciples of Tianxuan Hall.

Many Elders and Disciples were furious, yet at the same time felt some panic and unease.

They were afraid that Young Master Xiao would blame them.

Even Xia Guixuan was full of worry, lacking the high spirits he had shown in front of the various factions.

”Father, you don’t need to worry; Young Master will not blame you for this.”

”Young Master?”

”Yes, Father, I am now Young Master Xiao Zimo’s maid.”

Xia Yanran revealed a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xia Guixuan was also relieved: ”Yanran, you must perform well.”

”Father, don’t worry.” Xia Yanran nodded.

...

Outside the hall, the crowd waiting was collectively startled.

Whether they were older powerhouses or young Prodigies, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes, looking in absolute shock at the young man who had suddenly appeared above.

He appeared out of thin air, without any warning.

It was as if he had always been there.

The young man’s expression was indifferent, wearing white clothes without any decorations, yet exuding an innate nobility.

He was followed by two young women.

The girl in purple wore a black veil, making it impossible to see her face, but just from her graceful figure and ethereal temperament, one could imagine the peerless beauty beneath the veil.

The girl in white, with eyes like autumn water and eyebrows like distant mountains, was none other than Xia Yanran, known as the number one beauty of the Xuan World.

The two of them instantly attracted the gazes of many young men.

”We pay our respects to you, My Lord.”

The crowd outside the hall, as if they had discussed it beforehand, collectively saluted.

”Everyone, no need for such formalities.”

Young Master Xiao Zimo spoke indifferently.

He certainly wouldn’t refuse an opportunity to show his face and act cool.

It was also a chance to knock the crowd down a peg; after all, Yao Xuan was a Child of Destiny, and it was normal for some factions to favor him.

Although his fate was sealed, he couldn’t let him live too comfortably while he was still alive.

This was the consequence of offending him, Young Master Xiao Zimo.

He considered himself quite benevolent; for a Child of Destiny who hadn’t offended him, he would try to make their departure as comfortable as possible.

After the various factions finished presenting their gifts, they began to introduce their respective factions, wanting to leave an impression on Young Master Xiao Zimo.

Young Master Xiao Zimo was uninterested, but still listened patiently.

All the factions were carefully trying to curry favor with Young Master Xiao Zimo, while simultaneously probing for his purpose in coming to the Lower Realm and his hobbies.

Young Master Xiao Zimo still enjoyed this kind of treatment; this was the influence brought by power and strength.

Everyone could see it.

The reason Tianxuan Hall could get so close to Young Master Xiao Zimo was entirely because of Xia Yanran.

The crowd was jealous in their hearts but had no choice; after all, who told them that her daughter was beautiful.

Suddenly, Young Master Xiao Zimo released a trace of pressure towards the crowd: ”I presume everyone knows about my relationship with Yao Xuan by now? I hope that in the future, everyone will not harbor him.”

After feeling Young Master Xiao Zimo’s aura, the crowd’s expressions were filled with horror, their scalps tingling.

What kind of strength was this? Was this what a Prodigy from the Upper Realm was like?

Hearing this, the various factions expressed their positions one after another, stating that they would definitely help catch Yao Xuan.

The blue-robed Elder, who had some slight connection to Yao Xuan, was breaking out in a cold sweat and dared not say a word.

”Damn Yao Xuan, he is simply courting death; how could he offend such an existence? I must make Qing’er stay far away from him.” The blue-robed Elder cursed inwardly.

”Young Master Xiao, I wonder if you have any news about the Old Ancestor of my Taixu Holy Land who ascended to the Upper Realm?” Li Wuji asked respectfully.

Seeing Li Wuji speak first, others also asked one after another.

”The Old Ancestor of my Great Zhou Dynasty...”

”The Old Ancestor of my Lin family...”

”...”

This was the main purpose of these factions.

They all wanted to know the whereabouts of their Old Ancestors in the Upper Realm.

Since Young Master Xiao could come to the Lower Realm, why couldn’t their Old Ancestors return? Was there some other reason?

After hearing this, Young Master Xiao Zimo lowered his head slightly, pretending to ponder.

In reality, he was sneering inwardly.

Upper Realm Old Ancestors?

If they were lucky and hadn’t died, they were probably mining in some remote corner somewhere right now.

For factions in the Upper Realm, these ascenders who had some strength but no background were the best candidates for mining.

Of course, Young Master Xiao Zimo would certainly not tell them this.

After a long while, Young Master Xiao Zimo said with a look of regret: ”The Upper Realm is vast and boundless; I haven’t heard of any of the ones you mentioned.”

The crowd was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but they didn’t think too much of it.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while longer, the various factions left one after another.
