I Truly Am The Villian

Jiang Bo, who was standing by, also noticed something was wrong with his father's condition.

He stepped forward and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Changhai's arm.

Comforting him, he said, "Father, calm down."

"Life-and-death duel, life-and-death duel, it's all about destiny."

"With so many people present, if you make a move, we will be at a disadvantage."

Jiang Bo's words made a lot of sense.

But Jiang Changhai still struggled to control himself.

He took a deep breath.

He almost gritted his teeth as he looked at Xu Zimei.

Said, "Oh, oh, well done!"

"Jiang Rui, you can really hide your potential."

"If it weren't for today's match, we might not have known that you are the most promising among the younger generation of the Xuntian Clan."

"The position of the Young Clan Leader truly belongs to you."

Jiang Changhai's words were digging a trap for Xu Zimei.

After all, within the Xuntian Clan, too many people aspire to be Clan Leader.

But currently, Jiang Shoutian is at his peak.

No one can shake his position.

So everyone hides, waiting.

Waiting for the day Jiang Shoutian reaches the end of his tether.

Or waiting for the day Jiang Shoutian's influence wanes, it will be the time of change for the Xuntian Clan.

So they are in no hurry.

After all, Jiang Rui, the Young Clan Leader, is nothing but a playboy.

What threat can such a person pose?

But now, Jiang Changhai's words implied that Jiang Rui has always been hiding.

When the time comes to compete for the Clan Leader, even if Jiang Shoutian's power diminishes, you won't be able to challenge Jiang Rui.

In this way, perhaps these competitors might band together.

To collectively target the greatest threat, Jiang Rui.

Eliminate him first, and it will be safer for others to compete afterward.

This is likely what many are thinking.

Jiang Changhai was so angry he could only endure it and dug a trap for Xu Zimei in other ways.

But Xu Zimei is not one to be underestimated.

He laughed and said, "In the future, it doesn't matter who becomes the Young Clan Leader, as long as they're from our Xuntian Clan."

"It's just a pity, uncle. Your son probably won't make it."

With Jiang Zhe dead, only Jiang Bo is left.

And with Jiang Bo's strength and intelligence, it's simply impossible.

This sentence directly struck Jiang Changhai's sore spot.

He took another deep breath, not wanting to argue with Xu Zimei.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Jiang Shoutian, standing nearby.

"Clan Leader, I really underestimated you."

"You really fooled all of us, such expert scheming!"

In terms of blood relation, Jiang Shoutian is still Jiang Changhai's brother.

But at this moment, he directly called him Clan Leader, showing the complete alienation and break between them.

For the position of Clan Leader, Jiang Changhai lost to Jiang Shoutian, which was already a grudge.

Now Jiang Shoutian's son has killed Jiang Changhai's son.

It's safe to say reconciliation is impossible.

Seeing Jiang Changhai's angry departing figure, Jiang Shoutian's gaze lingered on Xu Zimei.

He didn't care about his brother Jiang Changhai.

Back when they were evenly matched, Jiang Changhai lost to him.

Now, with his position secure, why should he care?

So he remained silent throughout.

But what truly concerned him was his son.

Even he had been fooled.

He had never realized his son was hiding his abilities so well.

"Father, elder brother..."

Jiang Shidai, standing to the side, also regained her senses.

Jiang Shoutian knew what she wanted to ask and shook his head, saying, "I don't know either. I need to ask him face to face."

Jiang Shidai nodded slightly.

Although she was equally puzzled, with many questions she wanted to clarify.

She knew that with so many people present, this wasn't the best time.

At this time, when Xu Zimei walked down from the Martial Performance Stage, he was immediately welcomed by the many people present.

It can be said that from now on, there will only be two kinds of people facing Xu Zimei.

Those who want to compete with him for the position of Clan Leader, in a life-and-death struggle.

Or those who know the position of Clan Leader is out of reach and want to invest heavily in Xu Zimei.

Previously, they dared not invest heavily because they saw Xu Zimei as lacking promise.

But now, after this battle, they are taking action.

After all, to assist in the time of need or to add to the glory are two different concepts.

Unfortunately, Xu Zimei doesn't need these things.

After tomorrow, his identity will also be revealed.

No matter what these people plan, it will be meaningless to him.

"Everyone, the life-and-death duel is over. You may disperse now."

At this time, Jiang Shoutian stepped forward and said.

He let the crowd disperse, finally turning his gaze to Xu Zimei.

He said, "Come with me."

Xu Zimei expected this and remained calm, following Jiang Shoutian and Jiang Shidai.

Heading towards the courtyard where Jiang Shoutian usually rests.

As the Clan Leader of the Xuntian Clan, Jiang Shoutian's resting place was indeed unique.

It was of an astonishing scale.

A place spanning tens of thousands of square kilometers, inhabited by him alone.

Even the servants cleaning here could not reside within.

This place could be described as extravagant.

It features dragon engravings and phoenix sculptures, jade and gemstones, and furniture made from precious woods in the ancient buildings.

On the walls hung many paintings and calligraphy exuding the aura of the Great Dao.

This entire courtyard was even a large Spirit Gathering Array.

Upon entering, even the flowers, plants, and trees grew exuberantly.

"Is there nothing you wish to say to me?" Jiang Shoutian sat in a top position on a polished, red grandmaster chair.

He stared at Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei merely smiled.

He replied, "What is there to say?"

"Father, I have some of my own adventures. These are my secrets. Should I spill them all?"

"I allow you to have your secrets, but why didn't you reveal it earlier?"

"And why didn't you tell me in advance?" Jiang Shoutian continued to ask.

"Father, to be honest, in this family, I trust no one," Xu Zimei replied.

"You should remember the recent assassination attempt on me."

"The final investigation suggested it was related to the Saintess of the Qinglian Clan."

"But, father, do you really believe that?"

Xu Zimei had thought it through; using this matter as an excuse was actually the best option.

In the short term, no one would suspect.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Shoutian slightly frowned.

"Are you suggesting someone in the family wants to kill you?"

"But that's impossible. You haven't offended anyone or borne any grudges."

"If I died, who would benefit the most?" Xu Zimei asked directly.

Jiang Shoutian's eyes suddenly widened.

"Impossible, that's impossible."

He quickly denied it.

If the eldest son, Jiang Rui, died, who would benefit the most?

It would surely be his other sons.
