Life of a Villain - Chapter 71

“Eternal Palace?”

Su Xin’s face was puzzled, and Shi Yi’s heart skipped a beat. She was already a nominal disciple of Eternal Palace, but her hopes were dashed when she became Su Xin’s maid.

When she thought about her bright future, her fists clenched and her lips pursed; rather than a disciple, now she would be going to Eternal Palace as a maid

Andy gave her a sidelong glance, but did not mind.

“Be ready. There’s a carriage waiting for you,” he said to Su Xin.

Su Xin’s brows raised slightly. “You are not coming with us?”

But Andy shook his head. “There is something I need to do.”

Su Xin shifted her gaze to Shi Yi, her eyes softening slightly. She had learned a lot about her after living with her for so a while. She also knew Shi Yi was supposed to join a sect. Maybe she could persuade Andy to let Shi Yi join this sect.

“Also, you should wear a veil to cover your face. I don’t want anyone to see your face,” Andy locked his gaze on Su Xin.

Su Xin was astounded for a moment, but she nodded and went inside.

Meanwhile, Andy stood alone with Shi Yi, who had a complicated expression on her face.

“Remember what I told you before?”

Shi Yi shivered slightly, her gaze locked on Andy. As she saw the man in front of her, many complicated expressions brewed in her heart.

Her life has turned upside down since meeting this man. But she remembered his words.

‘Serve Su Xin well,’ She didn’t know what he meant, but she nodded slightly.

“I know.”

But then Su Xin appeared from behind, her face hidden behind a green veil.

Phoenix Pavilion had presented her with a few sets of luxurious clothes after she arrived in the courtyard. This veil was also included in the presents.

Andy’s gaze was drawn to her stunning hazel eyes. He nodded slightly.

“Follow me.”

Andy turned around and walked away, while Shi Yi and Su Xin exchanged glances before following Andy.

As Andy stepped out of the courtyard, his gaze was drawn to the Driver, who was leaning against the carriage, while his eyes were ogling a few women in the distance.

But as soon as he noticed Andy, he stood up straight.

“Young Master, you want to go anywhere?”

Andy shook his head. “Not me, but these two. Take them to the mountains.”

The driver’s attention was drawn to two women behind Andy. His eyes sparkled, but he shuddered and bowed to Andy.

“Yes, Young Master,”

Andy turned to face two women behind him.

“Go, and don’t step down, until I am there,”

Su Xin nodded, her gaze fixed on Andy, before stepping into the carriage, Shi Yi following close behind.

The driver carefully closed the door and turned around to look at Andy.

“I’ll leave right now.” He bowed, sat in the driver’s seat, and drove the carriage away.

Andy’s eyes lingered on the carriage for a moment before he looked away at a distance as his lips curled up.

……….

A middle-aged man in a black robe, with coarse dark skin, was visiting different stalls while his eyes kept glancing at a distance.

As he stood in front of a stall, he caught sight of a large courtyard. But his body came to a halt when he noticed a masked man open the door.

This man was the reason that his Xu family finally has a chance to take control of the realm that is currently under the control of the Imperial Family. The only thing he has to do is kill him.

After waiting in this city for two days, he finally got a chance. In these two days, he tried to find out more about this person. But he was shocked when he learned that this young man came from the higher world to gain worldly experience. But that doesn’t matter. Once he kills this young man, he would disappear. In this world, few people know about the existence of his Xu family. So even after the master of this Young Man, come for revenge, he would not be able to enact the revenge.

His heart thumped fast, as he unknowingly let out his killing intent towards that young man. But his body shuddered, and he looked away as that young man looked in his direction.

“Sir, do you want anything for your wife or concubine?”

The man’s body jerked as his gaze shifted to the shopkeeper in front of him.

His brow furrowed as he examined the various necklaces on display at a stall.

He shook his head. “No, I don’t have any women.”

The shopkeeper’s brow furrowed momentarily before he smiled again.

“So, do you want the necklace for your mother?”

The man’s eyes widened as an unforgettable image of a woman flashed before his eyes. But before he could say anything, his gaze was drawn back to the courtyard, where that young man appeared with two women behind him.

He noticed that the two women behind the young man had entered the carriage and that the carriage had left. The young man looked around before walking towards the street.

“Sir?” The shopkeeper’s voice reached his ears.

The man’s brow furrowed as he took one last look at the shopkeeper before hurriedly following that young man.

As he followed the young man through the city streets, his heart filled with confusion.

He was surprised to see that everyone was bowing and smiling at the young man. And the young man went to a lot of stalls, buying almost everything from them.

As he kept his distance from the young man, the man felt frustrated. He was waiting for the right moment to strike him and kill him. But this young man was not giving him the chance.

After roaming the streets for a long time, the man’s heart thumped when he saw the young man leave the city through the city gates.

“Now’s the time,” he murmured as he followed the young man outside the gate and merged in with the surroundings, which made him almost invisible.

After following the young man for a long time, he glanced around to see that unknowingly he came into a deserted place.

Apart from a few mountains, not a soul could be found.

But when his gaze returned to the young man, his heart skipped a beat since he was nowhere to be found.

“Where is he?” He murmured, as he ran towards the spot where that young man stood.

A bad feeling rose in his heart, but he was suddenly rooted to the ground as a clear voice rang behind him.

“Are you looking for me?”
