I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 122.1: The Scapegoat; Ye Lings Friend!

Gu Xian’er’s mind buzzed.

All the True Disciples congratulated Gu Changge but she stood rooted to her spot as if she had lost her mind.

But soon, she reacted and looked back but Gu Changge had already gone over to the area where the spectators sat.

He didn’t even give her a glance, let alone talk to her. He didn’t posture in front of her like he did before with that annoying expression that would anger her without fail.

Gu Xian’er couldn’t help but worry.

Logically speaking, Gu Changge had already repaid her for a lot of the pain he inflicted on her by taking the initiative to take the sword slash from her, enduring great pain, and almost dying at her hands.

Why did she expect him to act like nothing happened?

No one in the world could claim to be completely innocent and kind. Sure, he inflicted great pain upon her, but Gu Changge had already made it clear that he wanted to repay her for the evil he committed, and even paid the price for it.

Although the grudge between the two couldn’t be said to be written off, the hatred should be gone by now.

Gu Changge had already reinstated her exiled lineage’s position in the Ancient Immortal Gu Family, and even released all the detained members of her lineage.

All this time, Gu Changge had only shown her kindness.

Alas! She felt that he was an arrogant bastard looking down on her and plotting something against her, so she couldn’t accept his kindness.

Moreover, her Masters had taught her to tread with care in the outside world, so she was quite skeptical about anything and everything.

It was these things that led her to accidentally injure Gu Changge.

Gu Xian’er couldn’t accept this result…

She put in unimaginable effort, cultivated hard for countless years, and harbored hatred towards him until now, so how could she accept the resolution of the grudge she held against Gu Changge just like this?

She had yet to defeat Gu Changge in a fair manner, so how could he act like there was nothing between them anymore?

Was he going to treat her like a stranger, a passerby?

Was she not an enemy in his eyes?

Gu Xian’er fell silent and couldn’t understand what to do as those thoughts crossed her mind.

The Coronation Ceremony came to an end soon.

Gu Changge directly went to the spectators’ area after leaving the high platform and happily chatted with various Young Supremes. The Elders and disciples disappeared one after another, leaving the venue to the younger generation.

The various Young Supremes who came from afar also congratulated Gu Changge on his ascent to the Heir’s position.

After all, it wasn’t easy to become the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace’s Heir.

Moreover, Gu Changge also held the identity of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family’s Young Master, which was no weaker than the identity of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace’s Heir.

There weren’t many Young Supremes in the Inner Region of the Upper Realm with multiple major identities like Gu Changge.

He was unmatched.

To add to his already unmatched position was the fact that his fiancee was the future Empress of the Supreme Immortal Dynasty.

With such a background, he would definitely stand at the absolute peak of the world in the future if no accidents happened to make him fall. He would hold overwhelming power in his hand that would make him the master of life and death of countless worlds and lives.

Everyone understood this well.

“Congratulations, Brother Gu! Brother Gu, your strength is unfathomable indeed! You were already my role model before I even saw you, and now, you are even the Heir of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Palace — I can’t help but envy you.”

The one who spoke was Peng Fei, the Young Master of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Family. He had blond hair and a golden light flowing around his body. Although he was an unruly and disobedient brat on normal days who looked down on everyone and everything, he didn’t dare to posture in front of Gu Changge.

The words he spoke were said from the bottom of his heart.

His remarks attracted the attention of the other Young Supremes and they couldn’t help but sigh.

Even Peng Fei, the rebellious brat who claimed to be invincible and didn’t give face to any of his peers, had to restrain his temper in front of Gu Changge. His words showed clearly just what kind of deterrent effect Gu Changge held on everyone.

Of course, it didn’t mean that he or the others were afraid of Gu Changge.

None of them would back down if they had no choice but to duke it out with him.

It’s just that none of them had something wrong with their brain, so why would they go out of their way to make an enemy out of him?

After all, Gu Changge wasn’t some nameless dude anyone could ridicule and slap in the face.

Treating him like that was impossible.

Gu Changge smiled in response to his words and said, “Everyone, you are too polite.”

This was the advantage of having a good identity. Since everyone was on the same level, none of them would be dumb enough to do something stupid to get themselves slapped in the face.

Still, the fact that he couldn’t slap someone in the face bored Gu Changge.

Well, it wasn’t bad as, at least, he wouldn’t have to experience someone jumping out right now and questioning his qualifications while trying to slap his face.

What’s more? He loved to be the one provoking others, not the other way around.

Speaking of which, the new Favored Son of Heaven following the rise from the rubble and slapping everyone in the face ended up going down a different route.

In front of him, he could only be reduced to a waste ready to be trampled.

Gu Changge was thinking about Ye Ling, the one taking the blame for him.

This Favored Son of Heaven, who became the successor of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor of Reincarnation, was destined to have a smooth-sailing life. He would rise from the weak, slap all the Young Supremes in their face, and leave behind a brilliant legacy as he rose to the peak of the world.

Yet now, he had turned into a rat running across the street, hiding from the entire world that wanted to beat him to death. The day he showed his face, he would turn into the entire world’s enemy.

Gu Changge couldn’t help but smile as he thought about Ye Ling’s fate.

Afterwards, he chatted and laughed with the Young Supremes with a calm expression. Every now and then, he would throw a glance towards Gu Xian’er, who stood there in a daze.

Although he pretended to not care about her, he was smiling in his heart.

He could already guess the thoughts going through Gu Xian’er’s mind at this moment.

After all, he was the one leading her in the play. No matter how lucky Gu Xian’er might be, or how powerful the mysterious Masters behind her, she was just a little girl with a simple personality and a soft heart.

How could she stand a chance against someone as sinister as Gu Changge? He could sell her off and make her count the money he received without her knowing anything.

Gu Changge was in no hurry since everything was going in the direction he planned.

Now wasn’t the time to lead her further.
