The villain has been playing badly for ten years

"Your Majesty, someone has answered the question!"

"Your Majesty, many people have answered the question!"

Ning Xiusu sat upright on the sandalwood armchair, while Hua Jianbai stood beside the crabapple-flower screen to supervise the exam.

The only people who answered were a butcher with missing ears, a barber with a protruding mouth, and a group of prostitutes with long, flowing hair...

Things that can bring benefits will always attract people from all walks of life. The golden leaves are extremely tempting, but the person who claims to have answered the questions correctly is not a time traveler at all.

"How is that possible? You are not time travelers, how do you know the answer!" Hanami walked around the room while stepping on the carpet decorated with five blessings offering longevity.

Ning Xiusu leaned back in his chair and asked the group, "Tell me, who asked you to come?"

A group of people waved their hands repeatedly: "No, we are really the people you are looking for, Your Highness..."

"If no one is messing around, why do all the people give the same answer?" Ning Xiusu said, then picked up the scroll. The order of the one hundred questions on it had been changed long ago, but everyone still answered them in the same order.

Seeing the group of people hesitating, Hanamibai slammed the table, causing half of it to collapse with a bang: "Tell the truth, or you'll end up like this table!"

Oh my god, the author deserves the credit for this, so impressive.

Ning Xiusu secretly complained, but Hua Jianbai's hand was trembling with pain, so he quickly put it behind his back and said with his neck tilted back: "The prince and I have an important matter to deal with a group of bandits. If you wait for bad things, do you know the consequences?"

The group was terrified when they heard this. The woman with the fallen horsehair felt her legs go weak and she knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, Mr. Hua'er, I was forced to do this. Please don't blame me..."

"Shut up, you stupid woman." The butcher roared, and the crowd became restless.

The guard stopped the barber, who yelled like crazy: "You can't tell us, you can't tell us, or we'll all die!!!"

The guards held them to the ground. Ning Xiusu, seeing this, said in a gentle tone, "If you tell me, I will naturally ensure your safety."

"Well, since the prince has spoken, we have nothing to fear," said the butcher with the missing ear. "I was originally doing business in the city, but I met a woman who claimed to be a fairy. Although she was beautiful, she was as vicious as a scorpion. She used my wife and children to force me to take the exam. She said that if I passed, I would get gold, but if I failed, she would kill me."

"Yes, yes, she didn't let us report it to the police." The prostitute with a shaved head started to sob. "Not only that, she also poisoned me and made my sisters' faces ugly."

When the brothel girl took off her veil, her facial features were indeed distorted.

"Is that fairy wearing a green hairpin and a golden dress?" Ning Xiusu asked again.

Everyone nodded, and Hua Jianbai said with a sad face: "Why is it her again?"

Didn't Fairy Bichai live in the mountains for a long time? Why would she come to the city to cause trouble? Ning Xiusu thought to himself and asked Hua Jianbai: "How did you meet her?"

Hua Jianbai raged, "It makes me angry just thinking about it. I was working on my novel, and suddenly everything went black and I was in a lotus pond. That woman went crazy and tried to kill me. I told her I was a woman, but she didn't believe me and even beat me half to death and poisoned me..."

"Wait, wait, you've said all this, what happened next?"

"Then, I ran away, and then I overheard a beggar calling your name. I remembered that in the novel, you were the one who was supposed to show up but never showed up. I felt very strange, so I ran to find you."

"Does she appear in the novel?"

Hua Jianbai shook his head: "No, but I can be sure that she is not a time traveler."

Hua Jianbai's words were full of confidence, but after much questioning, he found no evidence to support them. But Ning Xiusu was a prince after all, and since someone had come to him to complain about injustice, he had to get to the bottom of it.

Ning Xiusu dismissed the group and temporarily placed them in a safe place before going back to Li Ba. He bought a few bottles of fine wine on credit before getting Li Ba to agree to use his connections in the underworld to find the man.

"Looking for her?" Li Ba took a sip of wine. "I really don't understand. One moment he's a flower-stealing thief, the next moment he's the Jade Hairpin Fairy. Your Highness, you're looking for a bunch of fierce bandits..."

Could it be that he was planning to form a rebellious group? He didn't say the second half of his sentence, but Ning Xiusu understood what he meant, so he told him how a group of people were threatened and came to the palace for help.

Upon hearing this, Li Ba slammed the table and said, "Everyone says that Fairy Bi Chai is both good and evil, but I never thought she was also a villain who exploited the people!"

Ning Xiusu continued, "I've heard that Hero Li is a man of great righteousness, so please help me. I'll definitely reward you handsomely later."

"In that case, I'll take care of this matter. As for the thank-you gift..." Li Ba pointed at the Fengquanxiang liquor on the table, "Bring a few more bottles next time."

Ning Xiusu smiled and ordered someone to deliver a few large buckets of Fengquan incense the next day.

The next day, Li Ba was extremely efficient and said that he had found out the lair of the Fairy Bi Chai - the Three Flowers Temple.

Therefore, Ning Xiusu discussed with the government office and early in the morning he led a group of people to the lair of the Fairy Bichai under the pretext of suppressing bandits.

The sun was scorching, and the mud had dried up and cracked. The large group of people followed the withered flowers and wandered along the mountain road for a long time.

Finally, I saw a glittering golden tower in the distance. I thought it must be the Three Flowers Temple...

"Oh my god, how come it's more dazzling than my palace?" Ning Xiu got off the sedan chair and sat on the rocks with emotion, while several guards under the shade of the trees hurriedly fanned him.

Hua Jianbai looked at this man leisurely, frowning, as if he was disappointed in his friend.

"Hey, my great villain, can you do this? You're walking so slowly, stopping and starting all the time. You won't be able to get there the day after tomorrow!"

"What can I do? I usually ride in a sedan chair."

He was slouched and looked lazy, but his voice was rather cold, which prevented people from feeling tired.

Hua Jianbai said anxiously: "I think you don't want to help me."

Ning Xiusu didn't even raise his eyelids: "How do you see that?"

"Even if you're a villain, living a life of luxury and beauty, why would you want to go back?" He continued, "Could it be that I'm like everyone else, with a poor status and appearance?"

Ning Xiusu heard this and picked up the tea brewed by the guard with his slender jade-like knuckles: "Oh, so you care about this..."

Hua Jianbai was a little angry and snatched the tea away angrily: "Yes, I was originally very unhappy about traveling through time in this androgynous person, but now it seems that at least I am as light as a swallow."

After Hua Jianbai finished speaking, he grabbed Ning Xiusu by the back of his neck. Before he could react, he heard a cry of surprise from behind him: "Oh, Wang~"

Before he even uttered the word "Master", he saw something like a speeding car. In that instant, his feet did not touch the ground and he flew over a bamboo forest.

"Wait, wait, wait..." Seeing the scenery under his feet quickly receding, Ning Xiu Su felt dizzy and almost vomited.

Hua Jianbai stopped before a menacing stone statue and peered over. A gilded and jade-inlaid plaque read, "Sanhua Holy Temple." Ning Xiusu was startled by the statue. Seeing they had reached the palace gate, he quickly pulled Hua Jianbai along, trying to find a place to hide.

"Who is coming!"

Two women in green stopped them, their eyebrows raised.

When he saw it was Hua Jianbai, he immediately looked at her with disdain: "It turns out it's you, an ugly freak again!"

Hua Jianbai could have left, but when he heard the maid's words, he rushed over and cursed: "What are you talking about, bitch?"

Suddenly, a silver bell-like laughter sounded, the wind blew the flowers in a dazzling manner, and a woman in golden clothes fell from the sky.

"There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to hell but you come anyway!"

Ning Xiusu was startled for no apparent reason. So soon? Why did he suddenly feel the desperation of forcing his way through the dungeon?

He covered his face lightly with his folding fan and whispered to Hua Jianbai: "No, the main force is still behind..."

Hua Jianbai was stunned: "Yeah, I forgot about that."

"Hua, you pervert, not only did you peek at me bathing, but you even dared to come to my place and act wildly. I think you are tired of living?"

"Hahaha." Hua Jianbai thought about the villain in the book who could go to heaven and earth. He laughed three times and pointed to the side: "Prince, go!"

Ning Xiusu was stunned. "Why are you going up? Is there anyone who lets his teammates down like you?"

"Your Majesty?"

Fairy Bichai looked him over with charming eyes. Seeing that he was a young man with a refined and noble appearance, she suddenly smiled coldly:

"Are you the King of Leisure? I heard you were coming to suppress the bandits, but you didn't even bring any of your men with you. You're being too arrogant!"

Ning Xiusu hurriedly explained: "That... Miss, I'm not trying to provoke you, I just have something I don't understand..." Before he finished speaking, Fairy Bi Chai was annoyed by his nagging and slapped him with her palm.

Poor Ning Xiusu, he fell a long way, and the hillside was slanted, so he just rolled down. Hua Jianbai hadn't expected that as a villain, this guy was really as useless as a waste.
