Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

"What a lack of secrets."

As Gu Lingxiao looked at Zhou Yu's determined gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards.

Truly worthy of being the chosen one.

When one is at the end of their rope, they always hope for that elusive miracle and take a gamble.

Now Zhou Yu is simply gambling, gambling that Gu Lingxiao knows nothing and that everything he says is a deception.

Or perhaps he plans to stubbornly deny it until the end.

But how could Gu Lingxiao possibly let Zhou Yu succeed?

"Since you deny it, then I have no choice but to say it." Gu Lingxiao's tone was calm. "You are not Zhou Xi's brother, but an outsider who has taken over his body!"

Zhou Xi's pupils contracted, seemingly not expecting this possibility.

At first, he instinctively didn't believe it, but then he fell into deep thought, recalling the conversation they had at the steamed bun shop in the Dao Tian Academy.

No wonder Zhou Yu didn't know about their conversation back then.

But it couldn't be ruled out that he simply forgot.

Because it had been a very long time.

A momentary panic flashed across Zhou Yu's face, but the next moment, he regained his composure.

As the chosen one, such subtle changes in expression would naturally go unnoticed by anyone.

"Gu Lingxiao, even though I don't know why you want to slander me, if this is your method, then it is too despicable. Are you coveting my sister, Zhou Xi, and trying to drive a wedge between us through this?"

His face was righteous, as if the words he spoke were the absolute truth of the world.

The Saint of the Mysterious Tower looked at Zhou Yu and Gu Lingxiao with a skeptical expression.

Could it be that there really are no secrets and Gu Lingxiao is just making things up?

"You have a strong mental fortitude."

"Gu Lingxiao, this is not a matter of manners or lack thereof. It's about what you said, which is simply baseless! Unless you can provide evidence."

Zhou Yu suddenly felt relieved.

Even if Gu Lingxiao knew his secret, so what?

Without evidence, what could he do?

Gu Lingxiao couldn't be bothered to waste more words with him.

With a gentle stroke in the void, a small river appeared in front of everyone.

The river was clear and deep, making it impossible to see what lay beneath, as if it had crossed endless space and time.

It carried an ancient and profound aura, flowing calmly and occasionally splashing small waves.

"This is... the River of Time?!"

The Supreme Martial Saint looked at Gu Lingxiao in shock.

Although it wasn't the real River of Time, just a projection of it, it still required a high level of comprehension of the Great Dao of Time.

For Gu Lingxiao to achieve all this at such a young age was simply unbelievable.

The Saints and the geniuses all looked at Gu Lingxiao in astonishment.

At this moment, they were completely convinced by Gu Lingxiao.

Such god-like abilities could probably only be achieved by the heir of this hidden family, Gu Lingxiao.

For a while, their fear and speculation about the hidden family deepened.

Even Zhou Yu looked at Gu Lingxiao in shock.

He was not ignorant about cultivation.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why there would be someone in this world who could summon a projection of the River of Time at the Emperor Realm.

Once again, a sense of unease arose in his heart.

Sure enough, in the next moment, a wave leaped out of the River of Time under Gu Lingxiao's control and transformed into an extremely lifelike image in front of everyone.

The protagonist of the image was none other than Zhou Yu himself.

It was a dilapidated small town, so run-down that no one present would want it even if it were given to them.

The streets were littered with unattended fallen leaves, and most of the buildings and other structures were in a state of disrepair. The slightly better ones appeared very old, as if they were buildings from hundreds of years ago that had been abandoned due to lack of maintenance. The stone bricks on the ground were also in tatters, and some of the roads were simply dirt paths.

As the saying goes, a small temple attracts big demons, and a shallow pond breeds many turtles.

In this rundown town, there were a large number of lazy ruffians who had no ambition. They didn't like to cultivate and instead enjoyed bullying others in this small town.

Coincidentally, the incompetent Zhou Yu became their target.

At this moment, the image had already focused on a teenager who was around ten years old.

From his appearance, he bore a striking resemblance to the present Zhou Yu.

But the Zhou Yu from back then seemed more naive.

Little Zhou Yu happily walked down the street, jumping and hopping, holding a big steamed bun and some scattered coins in his hand.

This was his reward for gathering herbs at the foot of the mountain today.

He knew that his sister loved to eat steamed buns, so he deliberately took a detour to buy one.

Zhou Xi stared blankly at the image Gu Lingxiao had summoned.

More accurately, he was looking at the steamed bun in little Zhou Yu's hand.

If he remembered correctly, his brother used to bring back something delicious whenever he came back.

But for some reason, that stopped happening.

Zhou Xi simply treated it as his older brother having difficulty making money, pretending that this matter had never happened and would never ask his brother for anything.

Now that he had come back to his senses and thought about it.

If he had really been possessed, it would be very normal to change his habits.

Zhou Xi's heart began to waver slightly as he continued to look at the scene in front of him.

Little Zhou Yu was happily bouncing around, but a few skinny and gangly hooligans appeared in front of him.

Upon seeing them, a panicked expression appeared on Little Zhou Yu's face, and he immediately turned around to leave.

But unfortunately, these hooligans also noticed Little Zhou Yu at this moment.

"Why are you running, Zhou Yu? Can't we still bully you?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, a brilliant smile immediately appeared on Little Zhou Yu's face. "I'm not running, I just remembered that I left something behind, so I turned back to get it."

The hooligans walked up to Zhou Yu and casually chatted with him.

Although Little Zhou Yu was unwilling, he could only accompany the conversation.

"By the way, Zhou Yu, is that Zhou Xi your sister?"

The leader, who was the tallest, had a lewd smile on his face.

"Uh... yes." Little Zhou Yu's smile froze on his face. "Did this little girl offend you, Big Sha? I'll teach her a lesson later, make her be more careful with her words and actions."

"Hey!" Big Sha waved his hand. "How could that be? That little girl is so cute, Big Sha here, I've taken a liking to her and want to marry her."

"That's not right, Big Sha. My sister is only eight years old."

Little Zhou Yu's anger couldn't be suppressed by his smile.

He clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white.

"It's okay, I don't mind your sister being young. From now on, we'll be one big family."

Big Sha patted Little Zhou Yu's shoulder, looking familiar.

"Big Sha, if you insist on doing this, I, Zhou Yu, will risk my life to kill you!"

Little Zhou Yu's control over his anger was still lacking, and he spoke coldly.

"What's wrong, not happy?"

"Not happy!" Little Zhou Yu said firmly, "If Big Sha gives up this idea, I, Zhou Yu, am willing to do anything for you."

Big Sha showed a contemptuous smile upon seeing this.

"In that case, crawl through here, and Big Sha won't mention this matter."

He spread his legs and pointed to his crotch.

Little Zhou Yu hesitated.

Although he was young, he knew what kind of humiliation this represented.

Seeing his hesitation, the mocking smile on Big Sha's face became even more pronounced:

"Do you not believe in Big Sha? Go outside and inquire, isn't Big Sha known for keeping his word and not deceiving you?"

"Then I hope you, Big Sha, will keep your promise."

Without wasting any words, Xiao Zhouyu crawled under Big Sha's crotch.

His decisive action caught Big Sha off guard.

However, they didn't let Xiao Zhouyu off so easily, instead they made more demands of him:

"Imitate a dog barking for Big Sha to hear."

This time, Xiao Zhouyu didn't comply.

He realized that Big Sha was planning to go back on his word.

From the beginning, he shouldn't have trusted this group of ruffians.

"Big Sha, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

"Hahaha, fulfill my promise?" Big Sha and his men burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs. "To tell you the truth, kid, Big Sha is just here to play with you! Your sister's brother has caught his eye, no discussion. Who asked your sister to be so beautiful and you to be a useless brother? After we're tired of playing, then we'll return her to you."

"You've gone too far!"

"Yes, I've gone too far, so what?"

Big Sha felt no shame.

Xiao Zhouyu was just one person, not even worth their attention.

But under their gaze, a sinister smile crossed Xiao Zhouyu's face:

"If that's the case, don't blame me! If you dare touch my sister... I'll make sure you never touch anyone again!"

He lunged forward and bit down between Big Sha's legs, causing Big Sha's face to turn pale instantly.

"Pain, pain, pain!! Let go! Let go, ahhh!!"

"What are you all standing around for? Drag him off me! Drag him off!!"

"Ah, you damn brat! You still won't let go? Get the hell out of here! Get the hell out, ahhh!!"

While tearing and biting, Xiao Zhouyu looked at Big Sha with a vicious and malicious gaze.

It wasn't until Big Sha's lackeys continuously punched and kicked Xiao Zhouyu, causing his head to be covered in blood, that Xiao Zhouyu lost consciousness and let go.

But in his mouth, he still held a bloody stick.

"Take me to the clinic, quickly, take me to the clinic!!!"

Big Sha continued to wail and scream, even the birds on the trees were startled and flew away.

The branches trembled, and the leaves slowly fell.

As this group of people left, the once bustling street suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Zhouyu's warm body turned cold.
