The Big Devil vs. the Dark Villain

“Little guy, I told you to focus on your own swordsmanship instead of imitating others.

You think you can defeat me in my field? Are you dreaming? "

"You have great talent for letting me draw my sword, but it's a pity that you went astray. Be careful in your next life and stay out of the way. Do you understand?"

Nan Zhiyi spoke calmly, wiped the sword clean, put it away, and looked indifferently at the people who were talking below.

"As expected, fake is fake. Once the real thing comes, it won't work."

"Yes, I saw that the previous person was fake. The wife of a sword cultivator can only be a sword. How can he marry a wife, let alone two at a time?"

"That's right. The temperaments of the two are so different that you can tell they're fake at first glance."

“He was a man who could defeat an army of ten thousand men and who once took down a bandit den of ten thousand men at the age of fourteen.

One might have been playing in the mud at that time, there is no comparison at all!"

"That's his domain. It looks really scary. The sword light is sharp and cold. I won't say more. I feel cold. I'll go back and put on more clothes."

"Me too, it's too cold."

No matter how shocked the people below were or how their minds changed, Nan Zhiyi still kept his mission in mind.

The two sword shadows followed the will and hit the necks of the two protagonists on the ground.

The cold energy from the sword easily cut off a few strands of hair on their cheeks, and the shadow of death enveloped them.

Xuanyuan Chen looked at Jiujiang's body with a grim face. He didn't expect that man to be so useless.

I originally thought that if the two were evenly matched, we could still negotiate, but now my life is in someone else's hands and there is no room for negotiation at all.

"King Xiaoyao, I think I need a reasonable explanation, what do you think?"

"I am the brother of the current emperor, and you are just a commoner.

Master Xuanyi, I advise you to stop. Your behavior is considered as a rebellion. I can find someone to arrest you."

Xuanyuan Chen suppressed his panic, clenched his hands behind his back, and spoke in a timid tone.

"Oh, you can't beat me, so you're trying to use your power to overpower me.

Unfortunately, they are no match for me. Even if I kill you now, what can you do to me?"

Nan Zhiyi lowered his eyes with disdain, as if looking at an ant on the ground. He was truly fearless and ruthless.

The sword moved according to his will, and pierced Xuanyuan Chen's shoulder blade.

"You, you dare to hurt me..." Xuanyuan Chen covered the wound on his shoulder in disbelief, staring at him with bloodshot eyes, not daring to utter any more nonsense.

"Is that right? Be honest so that there won't be any problems."

"What about you? You think you can rest easy just by hiding in the crowd?

How come your daughter became a widow just after getting married? Aren't you going to avenge her?"

Nan Zhiyi said this, and provocatively poked Jiujiang's body with the shadow of the sword, making him face up.

"He was the one who pretended to be a real person and deceived me first. You killed him just in time. My daughter's engagement with him will also be cancelled!"

Gu Nian wiped the sweat from his forehead anxiously and bent down to agree.

"Since the wedding has already taken place, there is no reason to cancel it.

Moreover, you were the one who failed to notice it first, and you want to shirk responsibility by saying that the other party deliberately deceived you. Isn't that inappropriate?"

"How do you want to deal with this, sir? Tell me, and I'll do it right away."

"This is your fault. How can you make amends so that I can forgive you? This is something you should consider, so that you won't be accused of bullying others by taking advantage of your power."

"How dare you?"

"I don't dare to think about it!"

Nan Zhiyi played with the phantom condensed by the sword intent and turned it around his fingers. He seemed to care nothing about anything, but he was full of danger.

Gu Nian wiped the sweat off his face while his brain was working rapidly. He gritted his teeth and spoke tentatively.

"I will immediately find someone to clear your reputation and explain to you that this sinister villain used your name to defraud people.

Then, in order to make up for your losses, I am willing to compensate you with a thousand acres of fertile land, ten shops, and a thousand taels of silver..."

"Is it okay to not have one hundred taels of gold?

This is all my wealth, I can’t afford anything else.”

Seeing that Nan Zhiyi didn't react, he hardened his heart and raised the stakes.

But the other party remained calm and had put all his wealth on the line, so he had no choice but to start crying poor.

“But, when you are an official in the future, you must be honest and don’t always think of taking shortcuts by taking crooked paths.

It won’t work, understand?”

"I see. I need more real-life instruction." Gu Nian nodded quickly, looking willing to learn.

In fact, he was not a corrupt official. All this money was earned by his wife.

It was just that he heard that the White-Robed Swordsman had taken a fancy to his daughter and his daughter was determined to marry him, so he agreed to the marriage.

The girl is an old woman, and I have always spoiled her. She is not arrogant or domineering, and she is very well behaved. It is the first time she comes to me for a request, and there is no way I can refuse her.

I never thought that I would become a chess piece in the hands of others. Instead of controlling others, I was controlled by others.

Oh, if I had known this, I would not have stopped the girl from being with him. I actually made up a lie to deceive myself.

In an instant, Gu Nian looked much older and his back became hunched.

"Since City Lord Gu has agreed, what else do you have to say, Prince Chen? You planned this fake reputation of an important official of the court, do you know your crime?"

Impersonating an important court official is a serious crime. Once confirmed, the entire family will be implicated and sentenced to death and all property will be confiscated. If the crime is minor, the person who planned it will be exiled to a remote frontier. The planner will be guilty of the same crime as the actual imposter.

"You, an important official of the court, who are you trying to fool?" Xuanyuan Chen struggled desperately.

We must not let the other party prove this crime, otherwise all my planning over the years will become a joke.

"I am the Imperial Master appointed by His Majesty himself. I am second only to the emperor and above all others. What do you think?"

Nan Zhiyi raised an eyebrow and looked at the person struggling to death below, wanting to see what kind of waves he could make.

"How could you be the Imperial Master? The Imperial Master is Yuan Xiao Zhenren of Liuhe Palace, and everyone knows this."

“Because they’re all saying it, is that true?

How ridiculous!

I have the Imperial Master's Order in my hand, why don't you acknowledge me?"

As Nan Zhiyi spoke, he took out a token with a yin-yang pattern engraved on it and the Chinese character for "nationality" written on it.

If it were anyone else, they might not recognize him, but Xuanyuan Chen is King Xiaoyao, the former emperor's favorite son.

He could even play with the imperial seal. There were many things he had never seen before, and he could tell the authenticity at a glance.

He took a few steps back in disbelief before steadying himself. He still refused to admit it because he couldn't admit it. If he did, everything would be over.

“It’s just a replica, yet it dares to pretend to be the Imperial Master.

Xuanyi, please don't be so ridiculous."

“It seems that you are determined not to plead guilty.

It's okay, His Majesty's people are watching. After we take you back to the royal city, you can't deny your identity just because you don't want to."

As he spoke, Nan Zhiyi blinked towards Xuanyuan Huaixi's position.
