Volume 2 Chapter 3: Villain’s Perspective

“He’s like this simply because of his family background and natural talent. Your Ye Family had everything under control in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is quite talented, which makes him arrogant and proud, thinking that no one is better than him. Not just him, even those young masters from small families, although they can’t act arrogantly in front of the major clans, they still act high and mighty in front of ordinary disciples,” Liang Xiao Rou said, glancing at Ye Yong. “You and him both come from the Ye Family, and your talents are even higher than his. So you should have been more favored by the elders. It’s truly remarkable that you turned out the way you are now in that environment”

She didn’t think that Ye Yong’s gentleness and humility were fake, especially in Azure Lodge Village, where he showed no impatience towards the mortals. If one attributed the fact that he helped check their aptitudes to their requests, then the methods he wrote down and the advice he gave on their future paths were all genuinely good intentions.

“You’re joking, senior sister. I wasn’t a good person before, and I lost my way. I just found myself in time and recognized the path I needed to take in the future,” Ye Yong replied.

The Ye Yong in the novel wasn’t much different from Ye Mao, just slightly more cunning, able to hide his true nature and package himself. Later on, the male lead caused him to have a mental breakdown, and his character completely collapsed, revealing his poor character.

Children who grew up under the influence of a villain family find it difficult to distinguish right from wrong. In their spoiled eyes, what they think is right is right, and anyone who doesn’t obey or oppose them is wrong and must be corrected or eliminated.

The villains were very wicked, but it’s undeniable that their environment and surroundings have had a huge impact on their growth and understanding. If they were in a different environment, they might not necessarily be such people.

Ye Yong looked up at the sky. However, even though that was the case, if there was a stupid villain who dared to jump in front of him, he would definitely beat him up. So what if your elders spoiled you? Since they won’t, I’ll teach you how to be a decent person, and I’ll even help you reincarnate and start over.

“You used to… never mind.” Liang Xiao Rou saw Ye Yong gazing into the distance, his eyes flickering, so she thought that he had touched upon some bad memories, so she didn’t ask any further. She didn’t know that Ye Yong was actually fantasizing about beating up a villain to release his stress. Unfortunately, fantasy was just fantasy. Ye Yong knew that apart from the demonic sects, the villain families of the Great Zhou Dynasty wouldn’t dare to provoke him.

If they didn’t come looking for trouble, Ye Yong couldn’t possibly go and look for it himself, right? Hey, my hand is a bit itchy. Can you court death and let me beat you up? Ah, the loneliness of a genius villain- who can understand it? It seemed that life only becomes interesting when you target the male lead… as if!

Ye Yong snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Liang Xiao Rou. “Senior sister, you haven’t told me if there’s any way to deal with him.”

After transmigrating over for more than three months and racking his brains to pursue the heroines while avoiding conflicts with the male lead, Ye Yong definitely couldn’t let his background character cousin ruin everything.

“It’s not difficult. Find someone powerful to publicly beat him up and tell him not to be arrogant. Based on my observations over the years, young masters like him would definitely feel ashamed and refuse to admit defeat. They would try everything to save face. If the other person’s family background is similar to his, then he can’t resort to any underhanded tactics, so the best method would be to go into seclusion and train himself to regain face. Then, when he reaches a level where he can defeat his initial opponent, find someone even more powerful. Just keep beating him up and constantly dampen his spirit. I believe that one day he will eventually come to his senses.”

“Uh…” Ye Yong felt that this wasn’t a matter of coming to one’s senses or not, but rather, he would be simply receiving the typical male lead treatment. But no matter how he thought about it, Ye Mao couldn’t possibly have a male lead’s fate. He didn’t have great luck or cheat codes, so this method was actually pretty good.

But the problem is who he should find to beat him up. The Ye Family was really powerful in the early parts of the novel, and no family in the Great Zhou Dynasty could compare to them. There were a few equally powerful families in the other two dynasties, but villains usually wouldn’t provoke each other for no reason. They usually had a common goal, which was to cause trouble for the male lead.

Keep beating him up, make him unable to lift his head, and behave arrogantly… Ye Yong pondered for a while, resting his chin on his hand.

I got it.

…

Ye Yong had already been the hottest among the new disciples of the Heavenly Luo Sect, and because of his contributions, he became a well-known existence that everyone knew about. Not only young cultivators, but the older cultivators couldn’t help but come and see him.

When the men saw Ye Yong, they thought, not only is he handsome, but he also had talent and abilities. Are young geniuses now so demanding?

When the women saw Ye Yong, they screamed inwardly. Previously, most of his fans were girlfriend fans and older sister fans, but now Ye Yong had gained many mother fans, auntie fans, and a small group of bro fans.

What were bro fans? Well, they were fans who wanted to clash “swords” with him.

There were a lot of spectators watching the new disciples competition at the Sword Pavilion Hall this time, and there weren’t enough chairs on the ground, so a large crowd was in the sky, blocking the light. Excluding those who were in seclusion or away, 40k out of 60k Heavenly Luo Sect disciples came to watch.

This was a very frightening number, but everyone knew that the vast majority of them weren’t there to watch the competition but to watch Ye Yong. For the first time since the founding of the Heavenly Luo Sect in the Eastern Continent, a new disciple had attracted so much attention.

Fortunately, Liang Xiao Rou was sitting next to Ye Yong, so not many people came close, only about a dozen or so pretty senior sisters. These senior sisters had a good relationship with Liang Xiao Rou. Last time, they were the female swordsmen who tried to poach Ye Yong. They surrounded Ye Yong and talked about their life goals under Liang Xiao Rou’s disdainful and contemptuous gaze.

“Hmph, enjoy being surrounded by women while you can. When I become successful, it will be the time when you, Ye Yong, fall.” Ye Mao looked at Ye Yong and smiled coldly in his heart. He didn’t envy Ye Yong at all, not at all. Especially since one of those senior sisters was someone he was quite fond of. He had tried everything he could to court, but she ignored him. Now that Ye Yong sat next to her, she was the one who tried to court him but was ignored.

Just you wait, shallow women! Fuck your grandfather, Ye Yong! Just you wait! Wait, isn’t fucking Ye Yong’s grandfather fucking my own grandfather? No, I can’t fuck my own grandfather. Anyway, at this moment, Ye Mao was determined to become a peerless swordsman.

Long Tian, who was among the new disciples participating in the competition, also had a strong desire to surpass Ye Yong. He also wanted to become a special existence that could make others react with just a gesture! He also craved attention and recognition!

As for women, Long Tian didn’t think much about it because he couldn’t protect his own woman without strength. For now, becoming stronger was his top priority, and women would only affect his cultivation speed.
