Everyday I Get up to See the Villain Stealing the Show 34

In the mirage, a young man sat in a grand hall, counting his money amidst a mountain of gold and silver. 

“Xiaoshuang?” Han Changsheng asked, surprised. “What about him?”

“This is Hua Xiaoshuang, the hall master of Tianning Cult’s Heaven and Earth Hall,” The White Impermanence said, “According to his original fate, his father died in the battle with Wulin’s righteous sect a few years ago. He hated fighting and killing around the country, and he left the Tianning Cult. With his outstanding business talent, he set up several businesses everywhere to become the richest man in the world.” 

Han Changsheng was speechless. 

A few years earlier, elder hall master Hua Xiaoshuang’s father passed away. It depressed Xiaoshuang for a long period of time. Han Changsheng came up with ways to make him happy every day. It took a long time, but it eventually made him better. It was unlikely he would leave the Tianning Cult. Had he derailed Hua Xiaoshuang’s fate? 

The White Impermanence waved, and the scene in the illusion shifted. A gentle, elegant man sat in a medical hall, a doctor. Before him sat several common folks, his patients. The line outside the door was endless. 

His voice soft, Han Changsheng said, “Du Yuefei.”

The White Impermanence nodded. “Du Yuefei, the hall master of your Silver Grass Hall. He had nothing to do with the demonic cult, but you forced him to join. According to his original fate, he would have become a famous doctor that cured the Wulin leader’s strange disease at age 35.”

Du Yuefei was eight years older than Han Changsheng. A few years earlier, Han Changsheng sneaked down the mountain to play and met him. Du Yuefei was a wandering doctor, looking for mysterious diseases to improve his medicinal skills. Han Changsheng met a patient he had treated, but who didn’t follow his advice and finally died when he ate the taboo food. The patient’s family blamed Du Yuefei and asked him to pay for his life.

When Han Changsheng first saw him, he was a clean, white young man being beaten by a group of ugly people. Always fond of beautiful people, Han Changsheng was furious. He fought the family and turned Du Yuefei to the Tianning Cult. From then on, he stayed with them.  

The image shifted again, and the hall master of the Dragon and Tiger Hall appeared, Luo Xin. He stood on a martial arts arena under a bustling crowd shouting his name.

“What is this?” Han Changsheng asked. “Was he supposed to become a hero?”

Without expression, the White Impermanence said, “Luo Xin is a martial arts genius. If he didn’t meet you, he would have become a great and respectful master in his generation.”

Han Changsheng spits in the White Impermanence’s face. Since the White Impermanence was a spirit, it missed, or else he would have a face full of spit. “A great master?! That’s a fucking exaggeration!”

Over ten years earlier, the old master went out with Han Changsheng, who was just a boy. He met Luo Xin injured under a tree. One glance at Luo Xin, Han Changsheng found his appearance to his liking and rushed to his side. Holding him, he refused to let go. The old leader had to take Luo Xin back to the Xiushan Mountain. He valued his martial arts and cultivated him to the hall master of the Dragon and Tiger Hall. 

“Where are Gu Mingxiao and Xiaoqing and Xiaobai?” Han Changsheng asked. 

The White Impermanence showed the illusions one by one. 

According to the grid of their original fate, Gu Mingxiao would become the owner of a strange animal island, famous for raising rare animals. Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi opened a Traceless Building; the hub of the information news in the Jianghu. 

“They would all have been rich, noble people,” the White Impermanence said. “They have accumulated enough virtue in their past few lives. They should have enjoyed happiness in this life, yet it was their clueless misfortune to meet the evil that is you. They consumed their blessings in vain and became the people of the demonic cult.”

“What’s wrong with the demonic cult?” Han Changsheng complained, “I didn’t treat them badly.”

The Impermanences stared at Han Changsheng. He frowned but didn’t speak.  

“Whoever hung the bell on the tiger’s neck must untie it,” The Black Impermanence said, “Now you have made a mess of An Yuan’s fate, robbed him of his internal power, and even lost his memory! Originally, Emperor An Yuan had his body filled with internal power and then went into seclusion to train with it.”

“Half a year later,” the Black Impermanence continued. “When he came out to the Jianghu, cleared of the Li Jiulong’s accusations, he became famous in one battle. Then he took his younger sect brother to fight villains. A few years after that, he became the leader of the Wulin Alliance, leading the Jianghu to eliminate the demonic cult and restore the peaceful atmosphere of the Wulin.”

“The Elder Lan Fang was supposed to be Emperor An Yuan’s mentor,” The White Impermanence said, “In the middle of the night, An Yuan broke into the Yuehua Sect and met Elder Lan Fang by accident. After that, Elder Lan Fang taught him the essence of swordsmanship! But you’ve ruined all these good things!”

Han Changsheng frowned. “I can’t pass the internal power to him, but I can teach him the sword technique.”

“You should not only teach him swordsmanship,” the Black Impermanence started, his voice overpowering. “You should help him complete his original fate’s path! Now he has lost his memory. If he can’t recover it within six months, take him to the Wulin assembly!”

“Alright, alright.” Han Changsheng scratched his head impatiently. “If I do as you say, what about my protectors and the hall masters?”

The Black and White Impermanence deities looked at each other. The White Impermanence spoke, “People who relate to the demonic cult in this life will suffer in the way of the animal in the next. However, considering their situation is special, and they were tired in their previous lives, I can arrange the judge to open a back door for them to continue to enjoy happiness in the next life.”

Han Changsheng thought about his poor protectors and hall masters. If they became cats or dogs in their next life, that was fine. But flies or cockroaches? It would be. . .

“Alas!” Han Changsheng sighed. “What you say is what you say, and I’ll listen. But, tell me what I need to do and when to do it. This time, I messed up because you explained nothing. I will do badly if you keep on this way! Who will encounter the Dog Lord, what kind of fate will they have? Explain to me so I can complete my task properly.”

The Black and White Impermanence glared at Han Changsheng. They didn’t speak.

Angrily, Han Changsheng shouted, “Don’t tell me you won’t reveal it! I know nothing, I’m not responsible for this mess!”

The White Impermanence sighed. “It’s not that we don’t want to tell you, but your existence is strange. The whole human world is completely confused, and practically no one is on their original fate path. When you change one person’s fate, the fates of all the people relevant to that one person change, too. We don’t know how many people have been affected, or how serious this impact is.”

“When the God of Destiny finds that An Yuan’s fate has deviated from the original path, he will be furious. An Yuan’s original sect had different disciples than it does now. Originally, An Yuan was wronged and expelled from the Yuehua Sect. Liu Xiaoqi and Yue Yu-er believed that he was wronged, so they went to find evidence. When they found that Liu Jiulong framed An Yuan, they helped An Yuan clear up the wrongdoings”. 

“But, now. . . Liu Xiaoqi regards “Li Jiulong” as his elder brother. Yue Yu-er has no eye for An Yuan. She just wants to marry ‘Li Jiulong’. How can the story go on?”

The Black Impermanence said, “We can only tell you a few key points. The specific process to follow, the rest, you can figure out, yourself. No matter which way, you must follow through until the end.”

Han Changsheng was stunned. What the fuck?!

“There are so many things to explain to you,” the White Impermanence sighed. “We have to go back to check how many people have been affected by your influence. This is a matter of great importance. We must solve it as soon as possible. Go find Lord An Yuan.”

Before Han Changsheng could agree, the Black and White Impermanence deities faded into wisps of smoke. 

Han Changsheng was pissed off again. Did they dare to be more shameless?! Wouldn’t it be easier for him to let An Yuan kill himself with one stab?!

Despondent, Han Changsheng slowly got up and walked towards the pavilion where An Yuan rested. He still had half a year before the Wulin conference. Even though he robbed An Yuan’s opportunity, he still had to teach him to be a master in the half-year he had, so he could make a great show at the conference. 

There was another pressing matter. He still needed to absorb the internal power that the old man Xuanji had given to him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t last half a year. He would lose all his blood and Qi. If An Yuan didn’t lose his memory, he might pull the Huangfu’s internal strength out of An Yuan’s mouth. But now, the dog had lost his memory. 

What should he do?

Han Changsheng struggled with his thoughts the whole way back to the pavilion. 

Looking up, he might as well have been struck by lightning. 

The Dog Lord was gone!!
