From a scholar to a villain, I was a good person at the beginning

She had a hard life since childhood and never saw her parents.

She has always depended on her grandfather, but today her grandfather told her that she must worship the newly promoted elder as her master.

She has a simple mind and is not good at fighting with others. She has always lived happily under the wings of her grandfather.

Grandpa said that he didn't have much time left and the only thing he was worried about was her. After hearing this, Meng Qingqing hid in a deserted place and cried for a long time.

In order not to worry her grandfather, she knew that she had to take Jiang Zheng as her master, so she wiped away her tears, took a broom and cleaned Jiang Zheng's yard in advance.

She didn't know what kind of person Jiang Zheng was, but she felt that as long as she behaved well, worked hard, and made him happy, he would accept her as his apprentice.

This way, grandpa won't worry about me, but now...

Thinking of this, Meng Qingqing tilted her head back, trying hard not to let her tears fall, took out a small bowl, scooped up a large piece of dessert with a spoon and put it into her mouth.

"Qing'er, don't cry. You won't feel bitter after eating this bowl of dessert!"

She slurred her words and kept putting the dessert into her mouth, puffing out her cheeks and trying hard to swallow. But when the dessert reached her throat, it seemed to be stuck like a fishbone and she couldn't swallow it down.

At this moment, the girl couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

"Wow... I was cheated. This bowl of dessert is not sweet at all. Wow..."

She raised her chin even harder, afraid that the dessert she bought would fall out while she cried.

After a while, as if she was tired of crying, she stopped and looked at the darkness around her, feeling very scared.

But she knew in her heart that she could not go back and had to take Jiang Zheng as her master, otherwise her grandfather would worry.

After swallowing the dessert in her mouth, she was really scared. She always felt that there was something staring at her in the darkness behind her.

So she walked to the door, sat down against it, hugged her legs, put her head on her knees, and waited quietly for Jiang Zheng to come back, her mind full of how to beg him later.

…

One is also located in front of the courtyard in Lingxi.

After confirming again and again that this was Luke Dong's residence, Jiang Zheng stood outside the door with a frown on his face.

"There is a defensive formation, it seems to be correct."

He stretched out his hand forward into the air, and the next moment.

Buzz——!

A transparent barrier bounced the hand back.

The strength of this barrier is not very high, and with his means, he can break it with a snap of a finger, but this will inevitably cause a commotion and attract other people's attention.

If someone came to investigate, it would be difficult to explain, but this would not be a problem for Jiang Zheng.

He can use the Blood Demon Pattern to slowly destroy this formation.

After sensing his surroundings and confirming that there was no one around, he immediately started carving in the air after biting his finger.

After a dozen breaths, a mysterious blood pattern appeared in the air.

"go!"

Jiang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed. The Blood Demon Pattern fell into the barrier and actually melted into it. It drifted along the patterns of the formation and soon fell into the core of the formation and began to disappear silently.

If one were to crack it by force now, it would only take a moment, but judging from the current speed, it would take about half an hour.

So Jiang Zheng sat cross-legged and waited patiently.

The patterns of the formation are not complicated, but they are numerous. Its core is composed of a large number of simple patterns.

The Blood Demon Pattern emitted bursts of red light, like a red branding iron, constantly destroying the patterns of the formation and eating away at the core bit by bit.

"Oh no, someone is coming!"

Suddenly, Jiang Zheng opened his eyes abruptly and felt a foundation-building aura approaching rapidly.

Without hesitation, he flew up, hid in the woods nearby, and quickly carved a simple blood pattern to conceal his own aura.

A figure also dressed in a purple robe landed in front of the formation, but her figure was so graceful that it could be seen that she was a woman.

"Female elder?"

The blood veins on the top of the head cast a blood mist. Jiang Zheng stood inside it, hiding in the dark and observing the other party's movements.

I guessed in my heart that the other party was wearing a purple robe, and his identity was self-evident. Among the many elders, there was only one female elder.

That was Song Yan from the Alchemy Hall. He had met her once before the hunting conference.

"This is……"

Song Yan stared at the barrier in front of her, her eyes fell on the core of the formation, and she frowned.

Then she turned her head and looked around, sensing carefully, but she didn't notice anything for a long time.

Jiang Zheng was not at all panicked when he saw the other party looking at him. The Blood Demon Pattern was so mysterious, how could anyone see through it?

Sure enough, the other party ignored him and after searching for a long time, he still found nothing.

"Fellow Daoist, you have great skills! Can you come out and see me?"

At this time, Song Yan spoke loudly with a clear voice.

Jiang Zheng remained unmoved upon hearing this and just watched coldly. The two of them remained in a stalemate.

Song Yan kept looking around, but could not sense anything.

Snap——!

A crack suddenly appeared in the magic circle. Jiang Zheng's eyes focused and the magic circle was about to be destroyed.

"I mean no harm, but you still won't come out?"

Song Yan spoke loudly again, but still got no response, so she spoke again, this time with a smile:

"The formation is about to collapse. Are you willing to spend half a day's work and get nothing? If you are still unwilling to come out, I will go in first. Maybe... we want the same thing."

"Elder Song, how are you?"

Jiang Zheng sighed and reluctantly dispersed the blood streaks.

The voice came from the woods. Song Yan immediately sensed the breath and looked carefully. A purple figure walked out of the woods and walked towards her in the void.

"It's you?" Song Yan covered her hands in shock. She never thought that the man was Jiang Zheng, whom she had met once.

She had an impression of Jiang Zheng. Some time ago, she led the team to participate in a hunting conference and noticed Jiang Zheng at that time.

But she never expected that the little guy who had to lead the team by herself some time ago has now become an elder and is on equal footing with her.

No, the other party's rights are above hers.

Although she was shocked in her heart, she showed no emotion on the surface and chuckled, "I never thought it would be you, Elder Jiang."

The last three words were deliberately emphasized, as if teasing, with a hint of teasing towards the boy mixed in with the teasing.

"I don't deserve it. I didn't expect Elder Song to still remember me."

Jiang Zheng replied with the same polite smile.

"Of course, Elder Jiang was famous in Lingxi Sect before he became an elder, so I paid more attention to him during the hunting conference," she said with an unchanged smile.

Snap—crash—!

Suddenly, the core of the formation behind the two was completely destroyed, and the barrier shattered, exploded into pieces, and dissipated in the air.

Both of them knew what had happened, but no one turned to look towards the courtyard. They just stared at each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere plummeted to the bottom.

There was a hint of subtlety, and both parties knew what was going on, but no one spoke to break the subtle atmosphere.

The Blood Demon Mark fell from mid-air, passed Song Yan and came in front of Jiang Zheng. He gently flicked his sleeves to dispel the Blood Demon Mark and spoke calmly.

"Since Luke Dong is dead, the ownerless things will naturally be taken over by those who are capable. Elder Song, please go back."

After saying that, he looked into the other person's eyes calmly.

The place where the capable one resides is very clear, and he is the capable one.

"It's true that heroes emerge from young people," Song Yan smiled sweetly.

"But isn't Elder Jiang too overbearing? As the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share. Besides, this is not a glorious thing. I know I am no match for Elder Jiang, but I guess Elder Jiang doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, right?

How about... we each take half?"

Luke Dong has been in charge of the Contribution Hall for so many years, God knows how much wealth he has accumulated?

How could Song Yan just give up? She had to get a piece of the pie even at the risk of offending Jiang Zheng.

"Luke Dong died in the hunting meeting," Jiang Zheng took a sudden step forward and grinned, "but do you know how he died?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong aura suddenly burst out from his body, and his blood and energy were wrapped around demonic flames and bared fangs and claws.

"you……!"

Song Yan took a step back in fear, feeling the terrifying aura from Jiang Zheng, and beads of cold sweat oozed out of her forehead.

I had only heard about it before, but at this moment I truly felt the horror of the young man in front of me.

What exactly is this mysterious aura and strange flame?

At this moment she knew that she was no match for the new elder in front of her. No wonder he killed Liu Wenhua so easily.

Then she thought of something and said in shock: "Lu, you killed Lukedong too?!"
