Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

CHAPTER 546: CHAPTER 324: LIU XIANZI ALSO HAS A DAY TO VENT HER GRIEVANCES
"..."
Looking at the bamboo book in my hand, already worn with age.
To be honest, he felt that holding this thing in his hand was somewhat heavy, a bit ominous.
It’s not that this item was printed from a dead person. He completely understood that kind of shock, like an astronaut’s first encounter with the universe, like a child growing up in a remote village coming to a city of steel flow for the first time—it was a shock that overturned one’s worldview.
However, modern people, no matter what they encounter, at least have psychological preparation and preliminary understanding ability, a basic concept of the unknown, but that might not be the case for the Immortal Ascension True Monarch.
If a person, without any psychological preparation, met a superior being far beyond his realm, and this being constantly poured various contents into your mind, it’s a bizarre creature that defies language comprehension.
Approximately, this was the first feeling of the Immortal Ascension True Monarch.
"Have you come to your senses?"
Looking at the junior brother lost in thought, Liu Tangxi stood up again, although at the moment when she touched Jiang Feng’s divine sense, many scattered fragments flashed through her mind, but her realm and disposition were fundamentally still present.
As long as she refrains from wild thoughts, doesn’t become curious about those unknown things, she won’t feel lost.
"Yes."
The young man bitterly nodded.
He finally realized what the so-called "greatest secret of the cultivation world" was. It wasn’t this manual, but the place where this manual was placed.
Nowadays, there are countless people more intelligent than him. Even in death, the Demon Night True Monarch was still manipulating him, let alone those top experts still alive. Wouldn’t they be able to guess what he could?
They could naturally detect the clues, in their eyes, the Immortal Ascension True Monarch undoubtedly explored the door to the immortal realm, touched some forbidden object, and ultimately met a tragic end.
"They think the Immortal Monarch visited the immortal realm, met a superior being that defies linguistic description."
"This is the only clue he left, also considered by the entire cultivation world as the key to the door to the immortal realm."
"Did I guess right..."
Without an answer of affirmation or denial, satisfaction flashed in Liu Tangxi’s eyes; this little fellow was exceptionally clever for his age.
Because of this answer, she spent twenty years.
Turning around, she sat on the soft bedstead, lifted her hand to rub her somewhat sore neck, and even lazily yawned.
This senior sister without boundaries often came for nighttime visits, and she seemed to not know embarrassment either. If she liked something, she would express it directly, and wouldn’t be infuriated by anything—even when Jiang Feng accidentally walked in on her bathing last time, her expression didn’t change at all.
With quick reflexes, she picked up a pillow to support her back. It looked like Liu Tangxi appeared slightly exhausted today; she spent the daytime probing the Sect Master, held meetings all day, and contended with other peak masters for rightful cultivation resources, almost ending up in fights.
In the past, she would be too lazy to do these things, indifferent to that pile of stuff. But the problem now is she is a role model, naturally needing to find ways to secure rightful resources for the disciples of her mountain.
Having been busy all day, upon returning home, she planned to vent her grievances to her junior brother, discuss the precautions for the Nine Peaks Martial Meeting. But just as she entered the door, well, guess what?
The matter about probing the Sect Master during the day was directly held by the junior brother on the table like trash, with a mouth full of disdain, followed by a bit of shock from modern technology.
It could only be Liu Tangxi; if it were ordinary people, they would have snapped long ago. Her expression was somewhat lazy, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, resembling a lazy cat.
Originally, Jiang Feng thought that the senior sister was tired today, intending to occupy his bed for a night’s sleep. But unexpectedly, she spoke.
"Is junior brother interested in hearing a story."
The young man showed hesitation.
In the past, he would definitely nod without hesitation. With his understanding of the senior sister, he knew she would only proactively speak like this when she was confused.
But this time he had already guessed what the senior sister wanted to tell him.
Not urging, Liu Tangxi merely continued maintaining this semi-drowsy state of resting with her eyes closed. She was giving the junior brother ample time to consider, as they say, curiosity killed the cat. For Jiang Feng now, knowing less was naturally better.
The less he knew, the safer he was, but conversely, the more he knew, the more dangerous it became.
Currently, on Swordmaster Peak, Jiang Feng was safe. Regardless of what happened, she and the sect would protect him, even if someone exposed the secret within the junior brother’s body, she had sufficient means and reasons to convince everyone.
But once he left the sect, everything would be unknown.
Although her junior brother had fair talent and a sharp mind, his realm—a feeble body—was still overly vulnerable. If Jiang Feng had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, she wouldn’t be so worried, because even in the worst-case scenario, it would merely be unveiling the seal, allowing the power of Demon Night True Monarch to surge forth.
Though the cost would be the destruction of the body, at least the Nascent Soul could be preserved; he would still be alive. The problem was, Jiang Feng was still far from reaching the Nascent Soul.
The atmosphere in the room was very silent.
For the first time, the young man displayed such hesitation before his senior sister.
Yes, he was afraid.
This was his first time confronting the fear within himself, the so-called fear was not solely external threats, as he wasn’t someone who feared external threats—his actions and behavior showed he was quite the obsequious donkey.
