Everyday I Get up to See the Villain Stealing the Show 81

Han Changsheng’s disturbance resulted in Yue Peng being led away. Afterwards, chaos reigned over the opening ceremony of the Wulin conference as Honghua extensively praised the young hero. In the past, he credited him for cutting down the evils of the Yin and Yang Sha twins. Now, he helped his younger martial brother expose Yue Peng’s masquerade over many years. This would surely cause a stir in the Wulin and cause him to become famous. 

Moreover, he was young and had outstanding martial arts skills. Lu Honghua was very clear about his son’s abilities– when he fought with Lu Wenlin, he might only be able to play an even game. However, Han Changsheng could beat Lu Wenlin in one move. If he had to pick someone second to him in skill, even Lan Fang wasn’t so outstanding. Therefore, Lu Wenlin was very curious about Han Changsheng. After stepping down, he pulled him aside and said, “Mr. Li, I have a lot of things to say to you. You must not leave in a hurry. When the grand ceremony is over, I will come back to you to discuss your future stay.” With such talent, he wanted to take Han Changsheng for his own use.

Perfunctory, Han Changsheng didn’t respond. Other leaders spoke onstage, but no one listened. All of them craned their necks, trying to get a better look at Han Changsheng to see his real face. Han Changsheng didn’t dare stay for long, so he quickly slipped away like he had oil on his feet. 

As soon as Han Changsheng left, An Yuan quietly left, too. 

Han Changsheng returned to the inn, and An Yuan followed him inside. When he saw An Yuan, Han Changsheng felt heartbroken. The Dog Lord had never been honest once. If he had cooperated obediently, how could that have happened? With such a good opportunity, he could’ve helped the Dog Lord to become famous and laid a solid foundation for him. He could’ve completed more than half his task in one move. As long as he was famous, someone would pay attention to An Yuan. If An Yuan did good deeds to consolidate his reputation, it wouldn’t be difficult for the next Wulin Congress to find a way to push him to be the Wulin’s leader.

He had been away from the Tianning Cult for more than half a year. He planned to go back to the Tianning Cult to have a few comfortable days of rest after everything that had happened. What made it all worse was that now everyone knew that Li Jiulong was behind it, how many people would pay attention to An Yuan?! With the missed opportunity, his goal was more and more distant.

When An Yuan opened Han Changsheng’s straw hat, it stunned him to see his own face. He sighed, “No wonder you wanted to lock me in the inn this morning. It’s been a lot of trouble for you.”

Han Changsheng was anxious and guilty, but now he was also puzzled. What did the Dog Lord visualize?

An Yuan immediately cured Han Changsheng’s confusion. “You understand that I have scrutinized Yue Peng’s kindness to me in the past fifteen years, and you were worried that I wasn’t willing to face it. You understood the gratitude and resentment instead of me. But, I’m not as vulnerable as you think. Kindness is kindness and hatred is hatred. I’m very clear in my heart, and I won’t confuse them. If I can’t expose my father’s murder, I’ll regret it all my life.” 

Han Changsheng slumped in his chair. Well, it was no use regretting the things that came to that point. At least, it was a good thing that he and An Yuan had communicated with each other and there was no doubt between them. They needed to think about the next arrangement. 

An Yuan suddenly said, “There is one thing I don’t understand. Why do you know what my father looks like?”

Han Changsheng froze for a moment. He disguised himself as Huangfu Tugen, hoping to make Yue Peng panic in order to show his flaws. He would ultimately reveal An Yuan’s identity. Later, when explaining to An Yuan, he would say that he had made a similar face according to others’ descriptions. He didn’t expect An Yuan to break his acupoint sealing technique and witness it all. The faces were as alike as two peas. If he said he was lucky, he wouldn’t have even the least persuasive power.

Han Changsheng stammered, “I… I asked the gossips to find acquaintances who had seen your father in the past and had them draw a picture. It was easy to copy from.” 

An Yuan frowned. “Which friend can draw so similarly?” 

Han Changsheng said, “That friend… Because he had a friendship with Yue Peng, I promised to keep his identity secret. I can’t tell you.” 

An Yuan was skeptical, but since Han Changsheng said so, he could only accept it. When his father died, Han Changsheng was only four or five years old. Don’t mention meeting Huangfu Tugen, if he even had seen him before, he would’ve forgotten after so many years. Naturally, someone would have needed to tell him. When Han Changsheng took off his straw hat on the stage, although he knew who it was, when he saw the face, he fell into a trance. He really thought his father was back. According to the portraits, it was incredible to be able to restore it to that level. It was as if some strange magic allowed Han Changsheng to see into the past. But, was there such a magic trick in the world? 

Seeing An Yuan’s face written with suspicion, Han Changsheng made an excuse that his stomach was upset and ran away. He found a quiet, deserted place and took off his mask. After fixing his makeup, he wandered around for several hours. It was getting dark before he returned to the inn.

An Yuan was meditating in his room. Seeing Han Changsheng return, he asked nothing more. He just said, “You fought with Yue Peng today, do you feel okay?” 

Han Changsheng knew that An Yuan meant his internal Qi. In fact, he was a little uncomfortable. Although it seemed easy to fight with Yue Peng, he tried his best to guide the situation. From the beginning, he oppressed Yue Peng completely to lure him to use his extraordinary moves. It wasn’t as easy as he expected. 

Taking off his coat, Han Changsheng sat down next to An Yuan. “You can help me adjust my Qi.” 

An Yuan nodded, and they resumed their positions as usual. Slowly, An Yuan transported his true Qi into Han Changsheng’s body. 

In the beginning, Han Changsheng felt that the day’s exercise differed from the past. In the past, he always had to wait until the last moment before his Dantian grew hot. The silted true Qi slowly accumulated over time to have a significant effect. 

But today, his Dantian warmed quickly, and An Yuan’s true Qi quickly wandered through the major meridians in his body. Wherever it went, he felt extremely comfortable. Han Changsheng opened his eyes in surprise and looked at An Yuan. An Yuan said, “Focus, don’t be distracted.” 

Like walking backwards, Han Changsheng closed his eyes and concentrated on An Yuan’s rhythm.

Suddenly, An Yuan said, “Qi rushes from the bottom of the spring and whirls on top of the mudball.”  

Han Changsheng’s brows rose. For such a long time, although An Yuan helped him adjust his Qi, he was never willing to use words to instruct him. He was probably afraid that Han Changsheng would stop taking care of his affairs after he had completely conquered his internal power. Today, for the first time, An Yuan even took the initiative to prove his own trust.

Han Changsheng opened his eyes again to see An Yuan’s own closed eyes, and dignified expression. He didn’t open them, but seemed to detect Han Changsheng’s every move. Again, he said, “Focus!” 

Han Changsheng angrily closed his eyes. 

Today, An Yuan figured it out. After 15 years of unjust mysteries, Han Changsheng helped him solve them one by one and let him know the truth, after it was all covered with dust. If Han Changsheng wasn’t around, he was afraid he would’ve been kept in the dark. Without Han Changsheng, Yue Peng might never have revealed his fox tail. Maybe he wouldn’t know how he died until he was sold out by Yue Peng? Now that the truth had come out, he believed that Han Changsheng really helped him. If Han Changsheng was only around to deceive him, he wouldn’t have gone this far. He had been using the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman. 

Han Changsheng had changed An Yuan’s view of the demonic cult. For years, he’d thought abhorrently of the demonic cult. He thought that all their people were madmen who killed others for the sake of bringing disaster to the nation. 

He already knew that Han Changsheng was a member of the demonic cult. Through Han Changsheng, he also knew Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi weren’t good people, but they weren’t evil, either. What Han Changsheng had done so far… it was all good for the benefit of others. He was afraid that all along, it was the right way of the Wulin that had demonized the demonic cult, or there was something really hard to say about the people of the demonic cult… 

In a few words, Han Changsheng helped him a lot, and he didn’t want to remain in such a strange relationship with him. Today, he took the first step. Maybe their relationship would change, but its progress now would be unknown. 

According to An Yuan’s instructions, Han Changsheng adjusted his Qi step by step. In a short time, his body changed from warm to hot, and the congestion he felt gradually disappeared. 

An Yuan said, “This is the last step, you have to get through your Ren meridian and your Du meridian.” The position of the Ren and Du vessels were below the waist. An Yuan continued to guide him. Han Changsheng slowly carried away the true Qi according to his instruction, and the blood in his body rushed there. 

When the Ren and Du vessels opened, Han Changsheng shook violently. 

An Yuan startled. Opening his eyes, he saw that Han Changsheng’s skin had turned red, and his palms turned hot. Sweat dripped down from his skin and dampened the sheets. Not expecting his reaction to be so fierce, An Yuan withdrew his true Qi. Han Changsheng grabbed the sheets and cried out in pain. 

An Yuan quickly moved forward to hold him. His hand was scalded by his heat, but he held him anyway. “What are you feeling? Are you okay?” 

Han Changsheng’s internal power exceeded his imagination. After all, it was what old man Xuanji had accumulated for decades. The reason An Yuan didn’t help Han Changsheng break through the last level was also because the barrier was too strong. He was afraid that Han Changsheng might go berserk from Qi deviation. Today, he chose a mild path, but Han Changsheng’s reaction was still very strong. 

An Yuan anxiously examined Han Changsheng’s condition when suddenly, a strong force overwhelmed him and pushed him back. Before he knew what was happening, a hot body clung to him…
