Everyday I Get up to See the Villain Stealing the Show 103

Early in the morning, a thick smoke floated over the Chuxiu Mountain.

The people on the mountain were in a mess, carrying water basins in and out. After an unknown amount of time, the smoke finally ceased. 

“Let go of me, let me beat that bastard!” Du Yuefei, who was so covered in soot that you couldn’t see his original appearance, struggled frantically. 

Luo Xin held him with one hand. “Calm down.” 

“I can’t calm down anymore!” Du Yuefei jumped to his feet and said, “I worked for half a year to get those medicinal herbs before I collected them all! He just burned them !!” 

“He told you to calm down,” Hua Xiaoshuang said coldly, holding his chest from his side, “Because you can’t beat that bastard, Han Changsheng.” 

Du Yuefei: “…” 

A moment later, Due Yuefei squatted down on the ground dejectedly. He wiped his face and muttered, “I can’t live like this anymore. It’s only been a month. The little brat went from room to room and set fire to everything. What does he want to do?” 

That morning, Han Changsheng ran to Du Yuefei’s medicine room with a bundle of damp straw and set it on fire. Because the straw was wet, the fire didn’t burn, but the smoke was so strong that all the exotic flowers and weeds Du Yuefei collected were withered.  

With heartache, Gu Mingxiao said, “He even shaved the heads of the cats I raised. The most beautiful cats became so ugly they turned ill. They hide every day and refuse to see anyone. I worry so much that I can’t eat or sleep anymore.”

Blankly, Luo Xin said, “He stole the secret scripts we taught and used them as firewood to grill pigeons. Fortunately, I can recite all the secret scripts he burned. I can keep a silent copy and hide it from him.” 

Hua Xiaoshuang sneered. Han Changsheng didn’t bother him, but recently he always said things that shouldn’t be said in front of him. After the death of the old hall leader Hua, Han Changsheng kept his lips sealed and refused to say anything about him in front of Hua Xiaoshuang. He even ordered the whole sect not to mention it, so as not to hurt Hua Xiaoshuang. But recently, he came to remember his old friend from time to time. That morning, he specially sent a kilo of candied chestnuts to Hua Xiaoshuang, then exclaimed that the old hall leader Hua liked to eat candied chestnuts most. He just secretly changed the fried chestnuts and sugar with rat excrement and foot-washing water, then chased him halfway around the mountain. 

Annoyed, Du Yuefei said, “For how long do you think the cult leader is going to continue making a fool of himself? Should we just let him do this?” 

Gu Mingxiao smiled gently and said, “You’re still an apothecary. If you can’t beat him, can’t you think of other ways?” 

Due Yuefei was startled. “You mean?” 

Gu Mingxiao laughed more gently, “I put cat dung in his favorite teapot and his favorite shoes.” 

Hua Xiaoshuang shrugged. “I made a copy of his candied chestnuts that he used to make for my father and invited him to eat it.”

Due Yuefei thought for a while and trembled. 

Luo Xin rested his hand on his forehead, “You guys… I just stuck his roasted pigeon directly on his face.”

The four were silent for a while. Then, Hua Xiaoshuang sighed, “I haven’t figured out why he’s doing this, but I can guess what he wants to do.” 

The other three cast their eyes on him at the same time. 

Meanwhile, Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi were in Han Changsheng’s yard. 

“Leader, why did you cut two holes in my favorite clothes?” Lu Qingqian’s pink face was bulging to the point of explosion. He spread out the clothes in his hands, revealing two holes across the chest. It was funny that he could just show his nipples when he put them on.

Lu Baibi smiled so much that everything could be rejuvenated. “Master, did you throw my favorite bamboo pillow into the river?” It was his pillow from childhood to adulthood. It was scented with milk and he was reluctant to wash it. He even took it with him when he went out, otherwise, he couldn’t sleep well.  

Han Changsheng tapped his forehead with a finger, feeling a headache coming on. He thought the most difficult thing would be dealing with his hall masters, especially the talented Hua Xiaoshuang and the black-bellied Gu Mingxiao, but he didn’t expect it to be his left and right protectors. One month later, and all four of his hall leaders hid from him, none willing to stand before him anymore, but Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi had not changed at all.

It was reasonable to say that Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi were as small-minded as he was. If anyone offended them, it would absolutely be the most terrifying thing in the offender’s life, but it didn’t work for him. No matter how many bad things he did, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai would not think of the bad, but directly come to question him. And, when being questioned, he had to give reasons. He deliberately pulled out some absurd reasons to provoke Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, but he didn’t expect the two idiots to accept everything he said. 

Why did they believe his lies to them, that they only needed to eat a pound of peppercorns to increase their skills like him? It resulted in their mouths so swollen that they went half a month without taste and made no progress at all. It was because he remembered it wrong!

Why did he lie to them that there was a strange animal on the mountain that had lived for hundreds of years and only reappeared on top of the mountain when they were born? It caused them to lose sleep for many days as they stupidly guarded against it. Finally, they caught a baby mouse and took it home as a pet, then treated it like a treasure, up until Gu Mingxiao’s cat ate it up for a snack. After that, they were sad for many days. It was because he remembered wrong again!

Why did he deceive them again and again until they finally discovered that he cheated them? Because he had a bad memory lately and always remembered it wrong!

But every time Han Changsheng said something, Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi believed it. They didn’t hold any grudges, and the next day they forgot all the reasons they were unhappy. 

Han Changsheng frowned and decided not to find any excuses this time. “There is no such thing as why, I’m happy!” 

It stunned Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi at the same time. They looked at each other. Then Lu Qingqian bit his lip aggrievedly like he could drip water, “Master, do you not like us anymore?” 

Han Changsheng pretended not to care and hardened his heart. “How to say this, I’ve never liked you~~Ah!” He couldn’t help but tremble at the last word. 

The sentence was terrible. Xiaoqing and Xiaobai felt foolish on the spot, and within a short while, tears filled their eyes. 

Han Changsheng had a headache again. Were his words too heavy? No, it wasn’t too heavy. The sooner he let them give up, the better! 

“Why cry?!” Han Changsheng with a tiger’s face. “Don’t cry! I… I will send you out to do a task!” 

“No!” Lu Qingqian wiped his eyes and heavily stomped his feet. 

Lu Baibi snorted fiercely, causing more difficulty. The cult leader clearly said that he liked them the most, and he’d said it eight hundred times since childhood! It must be caused by some fox-spirit at the foot of the mountain who tricked the leader into changing his mind!

“If you do this task…” Han Changsheng said softly, “I will like you, okay?” 

Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi were still at odds. They secretly glanced at Han Changsheng from the corner of their eyes, clearly waiting for him to coax them. 

Han Changsheng said, “I’ve killed the leader and the top ten hitmen of the Ying Yue Sect. There are over 100 hitmen under their sect. At the moment, the dragon is headless, but I can use you to reorganize the Ying Yue Sect, so they obey the order of the Tianning Cult. Those who are not obedient will be killed directly!” 

Lu Qingqian pouted. “Isn’t that going to take a long time?” 

A long time! Han Changsheng said, “What are you afraid of? If you aren’t in a hurry, you could spend years on it. Don’t worry about it. I’ll make a detailed plan. You’ll go and come back when you finish the task.” At present, there were still three months to go before Lu Honghua agreed that the Wulin heroes would get together on Kunlun Mountain to re-elect the alliance leader. In three months, An Yuan would become the leader of the Wulin. At that time, it would not be too late for Xiaoqing and Xiaobai to leave Xiushan. 

Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi looked at each other. Han Changsheng sent them to do a lot of tasks, but most of them were relatively simple. If they were complicated, he would send several hall leaders to do them. They were also afraid that they would not be able to handle it. This task sounded like a lot of trouble. 

“All right, all right, go back,” Han Changsheng said, “I want to take a nap, don’t disturb me!” 

Han Changsheng forced Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi out, making them feel aggrieved. 

Not long after they left, Hua Xiaoshuang arrived. 

“I heard that you’re going to send Xiaoqing and Xiaobai down the mountain to do a task?” As soon as Hua Xiaoshuang came in, he went right to the point. 

Han Changsheng asked, “So what?” 

Hua Xiaoshuang smiled. “Speaking of the Ying Yue Sect, I remembered something. Aren’t you going to become the leader of the Wulin Alliance? You should set out to Kunlun Mountain in two months, right?” 

In order to fool Hua Xiaoshuang, Han Changsheng had lied to him that he was planning to become the leader of the Wulin. Of course, this was impossible. He merely paved the way for An Yuan. When the time came, it would be done. Perfunctorily, Han Changsheng said, “Don’t worry.” 

Hua Xiaoshuang said, “I remember that a man surnamed Lu said that besides destroying the evil forces in the nation, he had to get three people’s tokens. I asked you before, and you said you had all of them, but you never showed them to us. If there’s any difficulty, you can say it. After all, you are the cult leader. Don’t we all listen to you?.”

Han Changsheng continued to be perfunctory. “I have them all, don’t worry about it.” 

Hua Xiaoshuang watched his face and deepened his smile. He slowly said, “That’s good. Many people in the world are envious of you for destroying the Ying Yue Sect. If they wanted to destroy them, they would not think that the person who has done such good deeds is actually the frightening leader of a demonic cult.” 

“What?” Han Changsheng caught the keywords in his speech and frowned. “I destroyed the Ying Yue Sect?”

Hua Xiaoshuang raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t you? After I separated from you, I didn’t leave in a hurry. I stayed there for another half a month to make sure the news got around.” 

Han Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then he repeated inconceivably, “I destroyed the Ying Yue Sect? Me?!” He clearly designed it to make An Yuan show the head of the Ying Yue Sect leader and a bunch of tokens in front of the people of the nation!

Hua Xiaoshuang nodded. “Yes, in order to ensure the implementation of your big plan, I boasted for you when I went to dismiss the people of the Ying Yue Men, and I reported the name of Li Jiulong. I don’t know what’s wrong with you. It seems that at first, some people thought An Yuan was the greatest hero, but as soon as you left, Luo Ni was caught. According to his confession, the destruction of the Ying Yue Sect has nothing to do with An Yuan. It’s all due to you.” 

Han Changsheng gasped and jumped up from his chair. He didn’t know that Luo Ni had always hated An Yuan for killing his beloved monkey. Luo Ni also knew that the destruction of the Ying Yue Sect was related to the replacement of the Wulin Alliance leader, so he wouldn’t let An Yuan take the credit. So, he boasted about Han Changsheng. 

“What’s the matter with you?” Hua Xiaoshuang’s tone was light and calm. “Why do you seem so surprised? Isn’t this one of your plans?” 

Han Changsheng was in a cold sweat. This was bad. Although An Yuan had the three tokens, if he had not made a great contribution to exterminating evil forces, he wouldn’t have reached the rules that Lu Honghua set. What could he do now?
