This Is What a Villain Is Like

Chapter 130: Chapter 86: Going Ever Further Down the Path of the Yellow-Hair, Can You Take Us Along Too? (Part 2)

Besides, Su Qinghan was Jiang Lan’s official concubine. In terms of status, his sister was far inferior.

"You asked me to come see you today. Is there something you needed to discuss?" Chu Chan asked, not forgetting the purpose of her visit.

Chu Yun said, "I know you’re going to the Purple Mist True Monarch’s Cave Mansion with Young Master Jiang, Sister, so I wanted to share some information with you. But you have to promise to keep it a secret for me. If Young Master Jiang asks, just tell him you read about it in some records at the ancestral home."

He trusted Chu Chan completely, which was why he dared to speak so frankly.

Suspicion flickered across Chu Chan’s face, but she didn’t press him. Everyone had their secrets, and she didn’t believe Chu Yun would ever harm her.

She nodded. "I understand."

Then, Chu Yun poured out everything he had learned from Cyan Ox Dahuang regarding the inheritance in the Purple Mist True Monarch’s Cave Mansion.

He explained its location, its division into the Ming Mansion and the Dark Mansion, and the fact that one needed a specific Token to enter the Dark Mansion, where the true inheritance was hidden. He meticulously detailed everything, from the locations of the guardian Fierce Beasts and protective Arrays outside the cave to the methods for controlling those Arrays.

Chu Chan was stunned as she listened. ’Where on earth did my brother learn all this?’

’Could he have been to the Purple Mist True Monarch’s Cave Mansion himself?’

However, she didn’t press the issue.

This information was, indeed, very important to her.

’The Beiming Ancient Celestial Venerable’s Dao Seal Divine Mark contains the Decomposing Puppet Skill. With this new information, and by leveraging every advantage of timing, terrain, and personnel, my chances of dealing with the Beiming Chen Family will be much greater.’

’This will be my ultimate trump card.’

Ambition flared within Chu Chan, and her fair, delicate hands clenched into fists. With no more time to waste on small talk with her brother, she left the courtyard in a great hurry, her movements extremely rushed and purposeful.

Chu Yun could only watch with a helpless sigh, but a smile soon followed. He completely understood.

’For now, this is the only way I can help my sister. I’ll have to wait until I’m stronger to do more for her.’

He had already decided to leave Anyang City.

In the past few days, Chu Chan had prepared many Protective Magical Artifacts for him, as well as various Spirit Stones and Elixir Pills. Chu Yun felt it was enough for him to cultivate for a while.

He didn’t want to rely on Chu Chan forever, especially since everything Chu Chan had now came from Jiang Lan’s favor.

He didn’t want to see his sister have to be so subservient.

During his time in Anyang City, he could see that his sister, Chu Chan, was living well and was greatly favored by Young Master Jiang.

She had even accompanied him to the tea-brewing convention, a gathering of Celestial Prides, which was a tremendous honor.

So, he felt somewhat relieved.

"But before you leave, you should have your sister go to Young Master Jiang and ask for an Identity Token from the Prime Minister’s Mansion."

Cyan Ox Dahuang knew Chu Yun’s plans and didn’t try to stop him. After all, to truly train, one must venture out and face life-or-death battles.

With Chu Yun’s current cultivation level, he couldn’t be of much help by his sister’s side anyway.

As for Chu Yun not wanting to rely on Jiang Lan’s power and status, Dahuang just wanted to call him a fool. ’You’re eating his food, using his resources, and even your sister belongs to him. What’s the point of acting so high and mighty?’

’Refusing to use such a powerful connection? What an idiot.’

"An Identity Token... Would Young Master Jiang really give me one?" Chu Yun had no confidence in this matter at all.

"Your sister is so clever; she’ll definitely find a way to get it," Cyan Ox Dahuang said dismissively, glancing at him.

Chu Yun hesitated for a moment before nodding. He figured he could always repay the favor later, once he was strong enough.

...

「1:00 PM.」

When Chu Chan learned her brother intended to leave Anyang City and venture out into the world, she was taken aback.

She had originally wanted Chu Yun to stay at the ancestral home and live a safe, peaceful life, but given the circumstances, she had to change her mind.

Chu Yun clearly had secrets. And while she trusted Jiang Lan, she couldn’t say the same for others from the Prime Minister’s Mansion. In the future, his secret could very well bring him disaster.

"As for the Identity Token, I’ll go speak with the Young Master."

"He should agree. After all, with a Token from the Jiang Family, one can travel unhindered anywhere in the Great Xia."

When Chu Chan found Jiang Lan and told him about this,

he wasn’t particularly surprised.

Chu Yun was a man of great destiny, after all. He would never be content to remain tucked away in Anyang City. Even if he didn’t leave now, he would eventually set out to train and temper himself.

In his heart, he thought of Chu Yun as a useful tool, so of course he wouldn’t refuse such a minor request.

’A small investment now could yield great returns later on.’

"Since your brother has chosen to go out and train, having an Identity Token from my Prime Minister’s Mansion will make his daily affairs much more convenient."

"However, the situation within the Great Xia is treacherous right now. It seems stable on the surface, but there are surging undercurrents. With your brother’s current cultivation, I’m afraid he will easily encounter danger."

"When traveling and training, one must have items for self-preservation. Take my personal Identity Token and bring him to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to choose some useful Magical Artifacts," Jiang Lan said with a faint smile.

"Chan’Er thanks you, Young Master."

Chu Chan had been apprehensive. After all, an Identity Token from the Jiang Family represented the Jiang Family itself. How could it be given away so easily?

But to her surprise, Jiang Lan agreed without the slightest hesitation. On the contrary, he even suggested she take her brother to pick out some Protective Magical Artifacts.
