I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 40 - 40 Situ Yuntian

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Situ Yuntian

“Let’s take a look,” Situ Yuntian said with a frown.

When he led three Elders to the entrance, they only saw several patrolling disciples lying in pools of blood, and Coach Lou’s body was also to one side.

It seed that he had been killed with a single sword strike, the wound on his neck was very fine.

“I wonder what business brings the Talented Disciples of the Sword Sect to the Situ Family?” Situ Yuntian asked as he looked at Xu Zii.

“And you are?” Xu Zii asked casually.

“I am indeed the Family Head of the Situ Family, Situ Yuntian.”

...

“You’ve co just in ti; I wanted to ask if we have sohow offended the Situ Family to have soone sent to kill us?” Xu Zii asked.

“Why would you say that?” Situ Yuntian asked, frowning.

“I can testify, I am with the White Crane rcenary Group from Zhouque City, and at noon today the chief steward of your family’s inner courtyard found our leader, saying he needed our leader’s help to kill a few people,” Xiao Guizi hurriedly said.

He was sniveling and crying theatrically with exaggerated acting skills.

“And you are?” Situ Yuntian asked, looking at Xiao Guizi.

“I am a new subordinary of our leader Xiao Baihe,” Xiao Guizi replied.

“Gentlen, don’t be hasty, there might be so misunderstanding here,” Situ Yuntian pondered for a mont and then said to a servant beside him: “Go and call Hai Dafu for .”

The servant hurried off and before long, a corpulent fat man with a swaggering gait approached.

He was so overweight that he had to pant after walking just a few steps.

“That’s him,” Xiao Guizi, sharp-eyed, imdiately pointed at the fat man and shouted.

Situ Yuntian’s frown deepened slightly.

Hai Dafu approached Situ Yuntian and, hurrying to show respect, asked, “Family Head, did you need for sothing?”

“Don’t you know what you’ve done?” Situ Yuntian asked sternly.

“Family Head, I truly do not know,” Hai Dafu quickly shook his head, replying anxiously.

“I ask you, did you hire soone to assassinate so of the Talented Disciples from the Holy Sect?” Situ Yuntian asked.

“Family Head, please see clearly, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare,” Hai Dafu quickly knelt down, also sniveling and crying with acting skills that outdid Xiao Guizi by several streets.

“Gentlen, could there be so kind of misunderstanding?” Situ Yuntian turned his head, looked at Xu Zii, and said, “And could you gentlen perhaps show so proof that you are disciples of the Holy Sect?

It’s not that I doubt you, but just to be cautious.”

“I have an Inner Sect Disciple’s Token here,” Xiao Guizi hurried forward, placing his own token in front of Situ Yuntian, and said.

“Does it need to be this real?” Situ Yuntian felt as though he’d been dealt a bad hand, “Weren’t you just claiming to be a mber of the White Crane rcenary Group?

How co now you’ve suddenly beco an Inner Sect Disciple of the Holy Sect.”

But it was this mix of truth and falsehood that made Situ Yuntian feel a bit troubled; if the other party really was an Inner Sect Disciple of the True Martial Holy Sect, with even an Inner Sect Disciple’s status being that of a ssenger, then what an astonishing identity this young man might possess.

“Are you sure you don’t know anything?” Xu Zii stepped forward and asked, “Or rather, might you not be the mastermind, maybe soone else is directing you?”

“I truly do not know,” Hai Dafu said with a frantic look, glancing aimlessly towards the three Elders and hurriedly spoke.

“You don’t need to rush to deny it,” Xu Zii said, “In our True Martial Holy Sect, we have a thod of Soul Search that can inquire about all the mories of a person from within a month.

“But the price is that the person on whom the Soul Search technique has been cast could either die or, at the very least, beco ntally incapacitated.”

Hai Dafu’s complexion changed, his expression struggling.

And Situ Yuntian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he looked to the side and noticed that the expressions of the three Elders had changed as well.

“Hai Dafu, won’t you admit it?” Situ Yuntian bellowed, spiritual energy surging in his palm, opening three Vein Gates on his body as the peak aura of the True Vein Realm burst forth.

With a hit on Hai Dafu’s shoulder, Hai Dafu’s entire body burst with blood flowing from his seven orifices.

“Rest assured, esteed Talented Disciples of the Holy Sect, our Situ Family will certainly not shield any suspects,” Situ Yuntian said firmly, “Regardless of whether Hai Dafu is suspect or not, we owe you all an explanation.”

“Yes, indeed,” a few of the Elders at the side also heaved sighs of relief and hurriedly responded.

“It’s a pity, perhaps so leads have now been severed,” Xu Zii sighed as he looked up, then smiled at everyone and said, “But no matter, there’s plenty of ti.”

“It’s not often we have the honor of hosting the Talented Disciples of the Holy Sect at our Situ Family. If you don’t mind, shall I have a feast prepared?” Situ Yuntian asked with a smile.

“I have no objections,” Xu Zii smiled and followed Situ Yuntian into the main hall.

Xu Zii realized that many people prefer to bond over a al.

However, the Situ Family also gave Xu Zii so ideas; perhaps he could advance his plans for establishing his power.

Subduing the Situ Family, using them as a stepping stone, proved to be a fine opportunity.

During the al, Xu Zii had a few drinks and tentatively asked, “Family Head Situ, the Situ Family has always lived in seclusion in Zhouque City, have you ever thought about expanding outwards?”

Situ Yuntian was taken aback for a mont; he understood what Xu Zii ant.

With the current strength of the Situ Family, expansion was simply not feasible, but with Xu Zii’s help, it was a different story.

But Situ Yuntian could also see what was at stake; right now, the Situ Family still bore the Situ surna. If they truly cooperated with Xu Zii, then the Situ Family would effectively beco part of Xu Zii’s faction.

Although they would gain in strength, many things would no longer be under their control.

After all, the premise of cooperation is that both parties are not significantly mismatched in strength, and the Situ Family was certainly not on an equal footing with Xu Zii.

“Young Master Xu jests, our Situ Family simply wishes to live in peace and stability; we have no other ambitions,” Situ Yuntian responded with a smile.

“That’s good,” Xu Zii nodded and said with a smile, “Steady and solid developnt is also robust.”

……

After dinner, Xu Zii declined Situ Yuntian’s offer for them to stay with the Situ Family and, along with Lin Ruhu and Xiao Guizi, took their leave.

He didn’t encounter Situ Yunqing; after all, she was an important part of his plans for establishing influence.

Back at Linjiang Restaurant, Xu Zii stood at the window of his room, watching the sun slowly setting in the distance.

He tapped on the windowsill three tis with his right hand and said with a smile, “Black Thirteen, co out!”

From behind, a shadow suddenly materialized out of nowhere.

Black Thirteen was sowhat puzzled; he was very confident in his ability to conceal himself and didn’t know what had gone wrong.

“Young Master, the Deputy Sect Master was concerned for your safety and had follow you secretly. I would not have revealed myself had there been no threat to your life,” Black Thirteen explained his mission.

“Help kill soone,” Xu Zii said indifferently.
