Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

The visitor was none other than Zhao Tiansheng's father, the head of the Zhao family.

Accompanying them were several highly skilled Celestial Masters from the Zhao family.

"My son, how are you?"

The head of the Zhao family went straight to Zhao Tiansheng, who was lying on the ground. When he saw his son covered in blood and barely breathing, he was immediately heartbroken.

When they noticed Zhao Tiansheng's mangled left calf, their hearts sank.

"dad……"

Zhao Tiansheng coughed up blood, forced himself to stay alert, and pointed at Ji Qiuzhe and Li Yu with a heart full of resentment.

"It was them who avenged me... cough...!"

This was the first time that the Zhao family head had met Ji Qiuzhe and Li Yu in person, but he had seen Ji Qiuzhe's photo before and immediately recognized him.

"It turned out to be you!"

He couldn't care less about blaming Zhao Tiansheng for not listening to him and insisting on clashing with Ji Qiuzhe. He just felt that Ji Qiuzhe was truly despicable, arrogant and domineering, and didn't take his Zhao family seriously at all.

They can't be kept here.

"it's me."

Ji Qiuzhe showed no fear whatsoever at the Zhao family's expression, which suggested he wanted to eat people, and said indifferently, "What, are you going to kill me?"

"kill……"

The Zhao family head's eyes were fierce.

Killing him would be too lenient. His precious son has been injured so badly, and his leg is crippled. He must take him back to the Zhao family dungeon and subject him to all kinds of torture before he can vent his hatred!

Ji Qiuzhe saw the meaning in his eyes and smiled disdainfully.

"If you want revenge, come at me."

"A-Zhe, let's go together."

Li Yu silently guarded Ji Qiuzhe's side.

This Zhao family head doesn't seem quite right. Although his strength is average, he seems to be hiding something powerful. I'm afraid Ji Qiuzhe won't be able to handle him alone.

"it is good."

Ji Qiuzhe naturally sensed it too. He didn't believe that the Zhao family head was unaware of their strength. If he still dared to provoke them, he must have some means of survival.

Unfortunately, he encountered Li Yu at his peak and Ji Qiuzhe who was on a winning streak.

"Let's work together and not give him a chance to cause trouble."

Before the Zhao family head could even unleash his secret weapon, he and several of his capable subordinates were all neatly laid down next to Zhao Tiansheng.

[Villain's corruption level -10%, current corruption level 58%.]

[Middle-aged people just need more sleep; they fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.] 003 jokingly.

[Pfft—you're so good with words, I'll buy you a skin~] Ji Qiuzhe said with satisfaction.

[I knew it! Host, you're the best!]

003 was overjoyed and immediately opened the skin shop to start selecting skins.

Hmm... This pink-based dragon and phoenix design looks great. 003 fell in love with it at first sight and can already imagine how cool it will look when I wear this stylish skin and charm Xiaotong!

……

"grown ups."

The little green snake poked its head out of Ji Qiuzhe's pocket. "I smell it! There's a familiar scent coming from that direction!"

Ji Qiuzhe looked over and saw that the little green snake was pointing to the passage through which the man in black had left earlier.

So when Yu Jia and Yu Lou returned, the four of them discussed it and headed towards that passage without hesitation.

Once outside the tomb, the area became much brighter.

The passage was much the same as before, except that several small oil lamps had been added to the walls on both sides, with flames flickering on their wicks.

I don't know if it was lit by someone before us, or if it has never been extinguished.

"Master, look! There's a painting on the wall!"

Yu Jia suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Ji Qiuzhe and the other two hurried to the wall and saw clearly the patterns carved on the smooth stone wall.

For some reason, the moment Li Yu saw the painting clearly, his fingertips involuntarily began to touch the mural.

Strange! Although he was completely unfamiliar with the painting, he felt a kind of intimacy that came from his very soul.

"Is there anything special about this mural?" Ji Qiuzhe asked Li Yu, who was engrossed in looking at it.

Li Yu snapped out of her daze and clung nervously to Ji Qiuzhe's shoulder.

"what happened?"

Ji Qiuzhe hugged the man tightly with concern, and by the bright candlelight, he could see the discomfort on his face.

"fine."

Li Yu gently inhaled the reassuring scent emanating from him, and after a long while, slowly said, "I just feel that this painting... is somewhat familiar."

It's familiar, not just vaguely familiar.

Ji Qiuzhe leaned closer and studied the scene in the painting carefully for a while; it was very ordinary.

The painting depicts a scene of ordinary people holding a grand ceremony in ancient times.

The bustling streets were packed with people, even the shops along the street were crowded with people, and the people consciously left the middle of the street empty so that the parade could pass smoothly.

In the middle of the empty street, leading the way was an incredibly luxurious carriage, pulled by eight horses. The carriage was adorned with flowers, and eight women dressed in fairy dresses stood on it, holding flower baskets and scattering petals downwards.

Inside the carriage sat a handsome man wearing a floral crown and a Buddhist robe.

The convoy was very long, stretching all the way to the end of the street.

The painter was highly skilled, directly using a sharp tool to carve smooth lines on the wall, his brushstrokes flowing like dragons, revealing both sharpness and gentleness.

Because it was carved, this mural is remarkably well-preserved, except for natural wear and tear.

"Nothing special about it."

That's what he said, but Ji Qiuzhe still told 003: "Make a backup, little mistress~"

【Good host. 】

003 snapped a picture, saving it, then complained bitterly: "The term 'mistress' sounds awful. I don't want to be a mistress..."

"...Then, Xiao Si?" Ji Qiuzhe asked tentatively.

003: ...Is this some kind of auspicious name?

【Let's still call him Commander 003...】The mature Commander has long since learned not to shed tears (? ??ヮ??).

……

Li Yu suppressed the inexplicable unease in his heart before saying, "Let's go first."

"it is good."

Ji Qiuzhe agreed, saying it would be best to get away from this strange place as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the passage was short. After walking a few steps, we encountered a turn, and the road ahead was winding and labyrinthine.

The group walked for quite a while, until they were almost dizzy from the complicated turns, before they heard voices again.

"Brother Lian, that book really was stolen by a man in black. I believe that handsome guy wouldn't lie to us. After all, he's very good-looking and seems very honest!"

The handsome guy himself: ⊙_⊙

Is beauty everything?

Li Yu hooked Ji Qiuzhe's hand in hers and whispered in his ear, "I agree."

Ji Qiuzhe's ears turned red: Shamefully, I...

On the other end, Tang Xiu chimed in, "Brother, I agree with what Xiaoman said. All four of them are very good-looking, and they all look like good people!"

Tang Lian rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

This is why he tried his best to persuade his parents and the head of the Qian family to bring the two of them out for training.

They spend their days in their families, with everything taken care of by others, so they don't have to think for themselves. Their ideas are simpler than the last, and they always think that there are good people everywhere in the world.

But he couldn't bring himself to blame his younger sister, whom he had doted on since childhood, and Qian Xiaoman, who was kind and gentle by nature.

So he could only glare at Feng Yichen.

What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help sort this out!
