Second Week, I’m Really Not A Villain

Chapter 30: I was unexpectedly hurt so deeply by wine and women!

Experiencing the memories of my previous life from a first-person perspective, Qin Luo truly understood what kind of person his previous self was.

"When I was in the first round, I thought you were a complete villain. I didn't expect that the cleanest person in the Qin Mansion would be you," Qin Luo sighed with emotion.

Indeed, his previous self couldn't be considered a villain, he was just not a good person.

The reason he indulged in extravagance and debauchery was a manifestation of his escape from reality. He didn't want to see his loved ones become corrupt officials, but he was powerless to change it. He could only willingly fall into decadence in pain, using it as a form of resistance against Qin Wude and Qin Qingyue.

"Since you live in such pain, then go in peace... I will clean up the mess you left behind," Qin Luo muttered to himself.

As the words fell, the last trace of obsession left by his previous self dissipated within Qin Luo's body, making him feel a sudden lightness throughout his body and a clear state of mind.

To be honest, Qin Luo admired his previous self's determination not to compromise with Qin Wude, but he couldn't agree with his self-indulgent behavior.

Why not cultivate? Why torment oneself?

You should know that in the Heavenly Origin Continent, no matter what, might makes right.

If you really think your old man is wrong, you should strive to cultivate and become stronger than him, then use your fists to teach your old man how to be a better person.

Being a waste only brings joy to loved ones and satisfaction to enemies. When you are insignificant, your words hold no weight. Once you encounter any trouble, besides disgusting yourself and your own people, you are useless.

"Young master, are you awake?"

A gentle voice came from outside the door.

Qin Luo remembered the scene of being knocked unconscious by this old man with a finger, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch involuntarily.

Although this old man appeared to be kind and benevolent, he was not to be trifled with when it came to using force.

"Come in," Qin Luo responded.

The door opened and Fulin appeared in Qin Luo's sight, holding a plate of food with a kind smile on his face.

"Young master has been asleep for a day and a night. Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Did I sleep for that long?

Old man, you really went all out with that finger poke!

Qin Luo silently complained in his heart, but maintained a cold demeanor on the surface. "This young master is as strong as a bull, what discomfort could there be?"

Fulin nodded. "During this period, the young master will temporarily stay in the side courtyard. When the master's anger subsides, this old servant will let the young master out."

After speaking, he put down the plate of food and was about to leave.

Are you threatening me to submit to Qin Wude, otherwise you'll keep me locked up forever?

"Stop," Qin Luo stopped him and said in a gracious tone, "Since Qin Qingyue refuses to teach me cultivation, this young master will reluctantly give you a chance to guide me."

Fulin smiled at his words, but there was more regret and pity in his expression.

"Young master has missed the best time for cultivation. The roots and meridians in your body have already formed and cannot be further developed. Even if you embark on the path of cultivation, it will be difficult to achieve great success."

Qin Luo didn't think much of it. So what if I missed the best time for cultivation? Did I cultivate so much comprehension for nothing? I'll scare you with my accumulated strength later!

"Never mind whether I can achieve great success or not, just guide me anyway."

福临沉默片刻，摇头：“没有老爷许肯，老奴不敢擅作主张。”

"你——"

"老奴告退。"

福临不给Qin Luo发飙的机会，关上房门，脚步声迅速远去。

"我就是想修行，有那么难吗？"

"实在不行，你们丢给我一本功法，让我自己琢磨也行啊。"

Qin Luo气得肝疼，本想效仿前身绝食的做法，逼迫反派老爹向自己让步，可架不住桌上的饭菜太香了，以及害怕一不小心把自己饿死，憋屈的泪水控制不住从嘴角流下。

"为难谁都不要为难自己，想修行总会有办法。"

Qin Luo安慰自己，三下五除二将桌上的饭菜消灭。

酒足饭饱后，他推开窗户放眼望去，见他被Qin Wude关在某座独栋小院里，四周高墙林立，彻底和外界隔绝开。

"福临刚才说的话不无道理，虽然我悟性提升很多，可我的身体素质太差了，几乎让酒色掏空。"

Qin Luo脱掉上衣，走到铜镜前，第一次仔细打量自己如今的身体。

只见镜中的少年眉清目秀，唇红齿白五官甚是俊美，肌肤病态般苍白，倘若放在前世妥妥小鲜肉一枚，练习两年半就可以出道的那种。

"模样倒是挺帅的，身材却不堪入目。"

Qin Luo叹口气，摸了摸自己瘦到都可以看到肋骨的胸膛，上半身一片平坦，连一块凸起的强壮肌肉都没有。

"我竟被酒色伤得如此之深……决定了，从即日起，戒酒！"

戒酒还是其次，主要得把身体强度提升起来。

一念至此，Qin Luo跃出窗户，绕着院落奔跑锻炼。

……

距离Qin Luo所在庭院不远的阁楼，Qin Qingyue褪下睡裙，换上一身漆黑劲装，气质从高冷Sister Yue秒变贵气逼人的女战神。

Qin Qingyue当然不会像Qin Luo那样虚度人生，自当年游历江湖归来后，Qin Wude便安排她到禁军任职，四年下来，Qin Qingyue全凭自己的本事升迁到统领，Fengtian City里的八十万禁军都由她统率，每天经她手处理的事务同样数不胜数。

"那蠢货在做什么？"

Qin Qingyue正想纵身飞往军营，余光忽然瞥见小院中光着膀子奔跑的Qin Luo，微微一怔。

这些年来，她但凡看到Qin Luo，对方不是抱着小侍女赏舞听曲，就是前往销金窟寻欢作乐，早就对这个废物弟弟失望透顶，今天还是第一次看到Qin Luo对某件事认真起来的样子。

"不教你修行，便想借助锻炼提升力量么……"

Qin Qingyue猜出Qin Luo的意图，清丽的眸子里浮现冷意。

她曾经不知道劝阻Qin Luo多少次，想把他拉回正轨，可不管她如何打骂教训，都毫无作用，反而让Qin Luo自甘堕落的更加变本加厉。

如今就因为受到Liu Chengyin引诱，他便一扫颓靡发奋图强，讽刺么？

至亲之人的关爱，却抵不过一个蛊惑他的敌人。

Qin Qingyue收回目光，似乎多看Qin Luo一眼就会污她的眼睛一样，身影化作流光消逝在天际。

她再也不会管废物弟弟任何事了，不管他是跟着福临隐姓埋名，还是被父亲永远关在府里，或是和以前一样绝食抗议，她都不会过问半句。

太阳东升西落，一天很快过去，黄昏来临。

Qin Qingyue结束军营的事务回府，目光下意识落向那座小院。
