After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 236 He doesn't want to be strangers.

Wang Qingyan slept straight through until the evening of the next day. Just when Baili Ce thought he was doomed, he woke up again with terrifying willpower.

However, he himself did not feel well.

His wounds had begun to become infected and fester, but Baili Ce didn't intend to help him, so he had no choice but to get up and treat them himself.

The process was very difficult, but fortunately, I had a lot of self-treatment experience, so the whole process was not difficult.

Bai Li Ce sat to the side, completely indifferent. She only said she would take him away, but didn't mention treating his injuries.

Carrying him is already an extra service; don't even think about anything else.

“I remembered my past.” But after he finished dealing with it, he still took the initiative to talk to her.

Knowing she wouldn't respond, Wang Qingyan habitually began to talk to himself.

Do you know how I was abandoned by my biological parents?

"..." Bai Li Ce calmly put down the old notebook in her hand, which she had found in the room.

The record contained information about the past, and she wanted to see if she could find a way to kill Wang Qingyan while simultaneously ensuring perfect evasion of the Gu Tree's attacks.

"you say"

Wang Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. "My birth mother died because of my difficult childbirth. My birth father wanted to become a son-in-law of a wealthy family, but he thought I was a burden and abandoned me."

"I was only six months old at that time."

"To have memories at such a young age?" Baili Ce clearly didn't believe it.

“A-Zhu, infants are just small and cannot clearly distinguish objects, but they do not have no memory.”

"On the contrary, people are far more sensitive to malice around them when they are very young than when they grow up."

The reason why children are more insecure and like to cry is precisely because they can quickly perceive and react to even the slightest danger.

Not to mention, some people are indeed born with memories.

It's just that as we grow up, many things are forgotten.

"So what are you being so sensitive about? Your adoptive parents didn't treat you badly, they treated you better than many children who grew up with their biological parents."

Why are you still so cruel? Leaving no room for compromise?

"Heh," Wang Qingyan chuckled faintly.

"Do you know how I felt when my adoptive parents asked me to get engaged to their youngest daughter when I was eighteen?"

"You may not want to, but there's no need to hold a grudge."

"Yes, I was adopted. After they had their own biological children, they not only did not mistreat me, but were also willing to marry their daughter to me when I grew up."

"And he promised that after we got married, he would transfer a portion of the Wang family's assets to my name."

"I should be eternally grateful to such wonderful parents, and repay their kindness with the utmost gratitude."

At least for anyone with a conscience, there should be no complaints whatsoever.

"But my first reaction was disgust, extreme disgust."

He refused the marriage proposal. Although the elderly couple felt a little embarrassed, they did not distance themselves from him because of this.

After all, they've raised him for eighteen years and have long considered him their own son; they wouldn't make things difficult for him over something so trivial.

But Wang Qingyan inexplicably felt a thorn in his heart.

Of course, his relationship with the Wang family remained harmonious, even more so than before.

His younger sister was an extremely clever and beautiful woman, a shrewd businesswoman, and very popular.

But he really loves to meddle in other people's business, especially theirs.

My younger brother is gentle and refined, and very knowledgeable. He was the first among his peers to receive an early education.

At the age of thirteen, he became a disciple of a famous scholar of the time and traveled with his master for three years. Later, he became famous in Jiangnan for his literary works and was the most promising member of the Wang family.

His martial arts skills are mediocre, and he always says things like, "With my older brother around, why would I need to learn such advanced kung fu?"

But in the end, they are all good people.

He just didn't understand why a person, who only has one heart, could divide love into three or even more parts.

“I have never been irreplaceable in their hearts.”

"I hate this feeling."

I hate not being seen or heard.

You might hate that another "Wang Qingyan" could appear at any time, someone who does better and is more likable than him.

He wants to be the center of attention, to sit firmly on the high platform, unique and incomparable.

So, the day after the elderly couple brought up his marriage again, his sister died as a result of malicious revenge from her colleagues.

It's not unusual for her to have some accidents while doing business all over the country.

My younger brother... because the place where he was an official was too far from home, he was robbed and killed by bandits on his way back to visit his family.

It's said his death was gruesome, but who can blame him? It was all because his martial arts skills were too poor.

However, neither of these things really had anything to do with him.

They are his younger siblings, whom he grew up with. How could he possibly harm them?

only--

"When my father learned of my brother's death, he completely broke down and smashed a teacup in my face."

"He blames me for not saving him, for standing by and doing nothing."

“He pointed his finger at me and cursed me, saying that I deliberately killed him for the sake of the family property.”

Hmph, family fortune? What bullshit, Wang Qingyan has never cared about it.

"..." Bai Li Ce listened to the increasingly absurd story, but couldn't get a single word out of him.

“I didn’t explain anything, I just knelt down on the spot and let them hit and scold me.”

As for whether it was intentional or not, who knows?

Anyway, Master Wang was so angry that he went to see his two children that very night.

Later, Madam Wang also fell ill and never recovered.

Wang Qingyan still has great respect for this mother.

So even when she later became delirious, incontinent, and screamed all night long during her episodes, he didn't feel disgusted in the slightest.

He patiently fed her, prepared her medicine, took her to the doctor, massaged her back and waist... Even when she bit his arm during a fit of madness, he never got angry.

"What then?"

"She became the first person I killed."

One Mid-Autumn Festival after he took over the Wang family, he took Madam Wang to a banquet.

He could have continued to support her like this.

He's a filial son; having just one is enough.

But who told her to grab a few fried fish from the banquet with her bare hands and run home?

Was he killed because he was ashamed?

Ha, he doesn't care about saving face either.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been clinging to Ah Zhu for so long.

What he hated was that when he threw away the fried fish, his mother said, "Don't...don't throw it away, this is for my daughter, she...she loves to eat it the most."

Look, even in a broken relationship, his share is the least valuable...

The next day, Madam Wang was found drowned in the river outside the city.

The outside world says that she went crazy and ran away in the middle of the night, and the Wang family couldn't find her in time, which led to this tragedy.

"You are simply..." There is no suitable adjective to describe you.

Seriously, if she were his adoptive parents, Wang Qingyan would have strangled her long ago.

"But I never expected that Jiang Zhen would come looking for me because of this."

He said, "I really am a born devil."

"Really? He's seen you before?"

“When Jiang Zhen was traveling around the country, he met my birth mother and told her a fortune. She said that I was born from evil desires and would surely cause my parents to die. It was because of this excuse that my birth father abandoned me openly.”

"Based on your adoptive parents' experience, Jiang Zhen did not miscalculate."

"Then I should die sooner?"

"..." Wang Qingyan is probably gifted in another sense.

Born black, extremely obsessive, and never believing he is wrong.

"Is this the first time you've lost to Jiang Zhen?"

The moment Jiang Zhen made his move, Wang Qingyan realized that his previously proud martial prowess and cunning were utterly ineffective.

It was from that moment that he realized there really were people in the world who were infinitely close to God.

However, Jiang Zhen, who was considered a "divine being," was not as extraordinary as people imagined.

He was so arrogant that he thought he could eliminate all evil in the world on his own.

They were even willing to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao for this.

"Wait, you mean..." Baili Ce pondered for a moment before understanding Wang Qingyan's meaning, "Jiang Zhen really wanted to 'do good,' which is why he became the Heavenly Messenger?"

"That's what he thinks."

Unlike the Heavenly Way recorded in ancient texts, the Heavenly Way of this world, while possessing power that transcends all living beings, lacks the divine nature to show compassion for them.

But this also gave Jiang Zhen the opportunity to realize his "incredibly grand plan".

They used the guise of acting on behalf of Heaven to recruit disciples and teach people to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

On the one hand, following the instructions of Heaven, they seek out those who are inherently evil and destroy and eliminate all "evil" in advance.

If they cannot be eradicated, they will be left to live in hell, thus creating "sinners" for the Heavenly Way, thereby helping the Heavenly Way gain the power of faith, and then using even greater power to destroy them, ultimately achieving the goal of killing two birds with one stone.

When the Heavenly Dao is corrupted to its limit by worldly desires and can no longer remain on its divine altar, Jiang Zhen will be able to destroy the Heavenly Dao, take its place, and usher in a peaceful and prosperous world for all ages!

"Another lunatic."

"Jiang Zhenke never thought she was crazy."

He would only feel that if he were to dedicate himself to the Great Way, what fear was there of being stigmatized?

As for him?

Holding her hand, Wang Qingyan remained equally clear-headed and fearless.

"..." Bai Li Ce subconsciously struggled.

He leaned closer, "Did you know all along that Guan Xing was Jiang Zhen?"

This person is really... if he were even slightly better, he would be like this again.

“I didn’t know at first, but he was so familiar with the secret chamber under the manor, and he didn’t even try to hide it from me. He also didn’t care how horribly Yichen died. He must have been quite confident in killing you.”

"And because of his indifferent attitude towards the life and death of others, I guessed it to some extent."

"Finally, seeing that he was evenly matched with you, I remembered that you said Jiang Zhen was extremely talented, and that confirmed his identity."

"Then you..." He leaned down, trapping her in the seat, "You chose to kill him first, was it to avenge me?"

"No"

"Not at all?"

"no"

"Why didn't you answer when I asked you before if you could choose me without considering others?"

He forced her to look him in the eye; he didn't want to be treated like a stranger.

"..." Even after reading it, Baili Ce did not show much emotional fluctuation.

"Wang Qingyan, do you really not understand?"

"Love is something that doesn't belong to you or me."

"People who are complete opposites will only suffer if they are forced to be together."

“In other words…” Holding her tightly, still smelling of blood, even though he couldn’t guess what she was planning to do next, Wang Qingyan still heard the answer he wanted.

Even though it's so painful, you still feel indignant on my behalf.

“You know perfectly well that this is my nature, and that I did not make this choice because it is you.”

"so what."

She despised his madness and understood his resentment, but she never acted condescendingly as a savior.

In her eyes, he will always be himself, exactly as he is.

"I didn't choose to kill you first, not because I was reluctant, but because I couldn't, because I weighed the pros and cons."

"All I want is to win, from beginning to end."

"You won't win."

She won, and they had no relationship anymore.
