That's What Villains Are Like

Mantuo Ancient Star, Gusu City, Murong Family.

In the back mountain, on a flat land covered with green grass, a young man with a handsome fair face and a brocade robe was lying on a piece of bluestone with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed.

He held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, and his expression was casual and frivolous, with a bit of cynicism.

Beside him, there were several beautiful maids serving him, peeling off fruit peels and bringing them to his mouth, rubbing his shoulders and back, or fanning him. The young man narrowed his eyes slightly. , looking very uncomfortable.

He looked at the clear, cloudless sky, but his thoughts gradually began to wander.

After a while, he took out a round and crystal jade pendant from his arms and rubbed it there carefully.

"What kind of sacred object is this jade pendant that my father left to me before he died?"

The young man placed the jade pendant in front of his eyes, looked at the star-like and cloud-like lines in it, and couldn't help but think to himself.

His original name was Luo Guyun. When he was six years old, he followed his father Luo Jiusheng to Mantuogu Star. By chance, he met Murong Qiutang, the head of the Murong family, one of the three major families in Gusu City.

I don't know whether it was because of his elegant and easy-going father, gentle conversation, erudite knowledge, or other reasons, that he was favored by Murong Qiutang, the head of the Murong family, and was recruited as his son-in-law, and he married into the Murong family.

Luo Guyun also became the third young master of the Murong family. From then on, he got rid of the wandering life and lived a dandy life of fine clothes, fine food and good food.

Unfortunately, such days did not last long. His father Luo Guyun's old illness relapsed, and he passed away not long after he married into the Murong family.

When he was dying, Luo Jiusheng asked Murong Qiutang to take good care of Luo Guyun and left him such a mysterious jade pendant.

Murong Qiutang, as the most prestigious Queen of Manduo in the Ancient Star of Manduo, naturally did not treat a stepson like Luo Guyun badly. She had no biological children, but she always treated him as her own.

As one of the most powerful families in Mantuo Ancient Star, the Murong family is the well-deserved overlord. Therefore, Luo Guyun has lived a very comfortable life with Murong Qiutang as his support over the years.

In front of others, he is a free and undisciplined playboy who spends his money all day long in various brothels and romantic places. But behind the scenes, he has an unknown secret.

"The third young master is not well..."

Suddenly, an anxious voice came from not far away, which suddenly brought Luo Guyun's thoughts back.

He sat up, looked at the boy who was running toward him with a nervous face, and cursed with a smile, "Little pockmarked, why are you so panicked? Don't you have to learn to calm down on weekdays?"

The boy named Xiao Mazi didn't look very old, only twelve or thirteen years old. His face was pockmarked as his name suggests, his skin was slightly dark, and he looked very honest and honest.

"Third Young Master, something bad has happened. Many clan elders have been recalled to the clan to discuss important matters. It is said that this matter is related to the clan leader."

"It seems that the elders from Lu Wu Mountain have sent back instructions to ask the clan leader to go to Lu Wu Mountain..."

Xiao Mazi ran over with an anxious face and explained breathlessly.

He knew that the patriarch Murong Qiutang was very good to the third young master Luo Guyun. Although Luo Guyun always called him aunt, she treated Luo Guyun like a real mother.

In the Murong family, almost all the servants and maids admired the patriarch Murong Qiutang.

In Gusu City, whenever the name Murong Qiutang is mentioned, there is no one who does not respect him in awe.

Being widowed for many years and having a stepson did not affect Murong Qiutang's charm at all. Many heroes waited for months in Gusu City just to see her.

To this day, suitors can still line up outside the city.

"Is it related to Aunt Qiutang?"

Hearing this, Luo Guyun changed the frivolous look on his face and became serious. He stood up and said, "Tell me in detail, what is going on? Could it be that Lu Wushan wants to recruit experts to resist the heroic move?" An intruder from the dojo?”

In front of outsiders, although he is a dandy disciple who indulges in romance, it does not mean that Luo Guyun is not aware of the current conflict between Yingzhao Star Territory and Kaixing Star Territory.

"Third Young Master, I don't know what's going on. You'd better go back and take a look for yourself. When I was outside the hall just now, I just heard the angry voice of the clan leader. Her favorite glass cup with lake and mountain colors was all taken away by her. It was broken..."

Xiao Mazi quickly explained.

Luo Guyun's face sank, and he calmly took the jade pendant back into his arms, and then hurried towards the clan's territory.

He has a secret that no one knows, and that is the mysterious jade pendant left to him by his father. There is a mysterious and misty space in it.

In that mysterious space, there is no passage of time. No matter how long your thoughts enter it, you will not even take a breath from the outside world after you leave.

Relying on this mysterious space, Luo Guyun studied various techniques and magical powers, and practiced all the techniques he could master to the point of perfection and perfection.

Therefore, as long as he is given a skill, no matter how profound, complex or difficult to comprehend, he will eventually be able to successfully master it and reach an extremely advanced state.

Over the years, Luo Guyun has become a master behind the scenes of the Murong family by relying on the mysterious jade pendant left by his father Luo Jiusheng.

However, he has kept a low profile for so many years and has never revealed this secret.

After all, the Murong family is one of the most powerful families on Mantuo Ancient Planet, and with Lu Wushan as their back, they rarely encounter trouble on weekdays, so there is no need for him to take action.

"Aunt Qiutang treated me like her own child. When my father took me to wander around and was extremely depressed, she accepted us without caring about our embarrassment. I also promised my father that I would try my best to find a solution after his death. Take care of Aunt Qiutang and don’t let anyone hurt her.”

"I don't know what happened to make her so angry."

Luo Guyun's face was gloomy, but his movements were not slow. He quietly performed a footwork and quickly disappeared into the back mountain.

As long as he could remember, he had been wandering around with his father and had no idea who his biological mother was.

Now in his eyes, Murong Qiutang, who had no blood connection with him, was actually similar to his mother.

At this moment, in Gusu City, the atmosphere in the Murong family's meeting hall was very cold and heavy.

Several very old clan elders gathered here, with their brows furrowed, silent, eyes flashing, or sighing... all with different expressions.

In the center of the hall, a graceful woman with frowning eyebrows and a sinking face appeared.

She looks to be in her early thirties, with black hair like ink and black hair like a waterfall.

The eyebrows on her face are like distant mountains, her eyes are like stars, her skin can be broken by a blow, her peach cheeks are like porcelain, her lips are moist and delicate, and she is incomparably beautiful. Her figure is set off by a slim-fitting palace dress as pure white as snow. It looks exquisite and embossed, enchanting and colorful.

No matter who it is, they will be attracted to her at first sight, as if they are so familiar that they can squeeze water out of their mouths.

But now, her face was as gloomy as if it could drip water, and she was holding a jade communication talisman tightly in her hand, and her bones and fingers were pale because of too much force.

"Qiutang, this is an order passed down by ancestor Yanqing. You should consider it seriously."

"Yes, Ancestor Yanqing is right. This is a precious opportunity he has given us the Murong family. We must not miss this opportunity again."

"There must be a reason for Lu Wushan to do this. Although we understand that it is difficult for you to agree with your temperament, but after all, it is for the long-term consideration of the continuation of the family..."

Several senior clan elders began to persuade, and they obviously already knew the message from Lu Wushan.

Although the other clan elders did not speak, the expressions on their faces were similar, and they all had the intention of admonishing.

Murong Qiutang's eyebrows were furrowed and her face was gloomy. She didn't say a word or respond.

"Qiutang, it's not that the eldest brother and the second brother are talking about you. You have always had a strong personality. This is actually not wrong. However, this matter seems to be not only the order of the ancestor Yanqing, but also the intention of Lu Wushan."

"Now that the Yingzhao Dojo is invaded and Kaixing Realm is retreating steadily, even if Lu Wushan doesn't make preparations early, our Murong family will have to consider our options."

"Yes, Ancestor Yanqing is right. The only chance now is to join the Immortal Alliance. The young leader of the Immortal Alliance is so strong and talented. You are so smart, you must be better than the eldest brother, second brother and us. It’s all clear.”

"Ancestor Yanqing has also made it very clear about this matter. He is just asking you, as Lu Wushan's honorary elder, to pay a visit on his behalf to convey Lu Wushan's goodwill. There is no other intention..."

Beside Murong Qiutang, two tall middle-aged men were also persuading, with earnest and thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Murong Qiutang is the third eldest child in the contemporary Murong family. There are two brothers above her.

However, these two brothers were far inferior to her in terms of skills and cultivation. She also deservedly became the contemporary patriarch of the Murong family, overpowering all the dissenters.

"I know very well what Ancestor Yanqing is thinking. For our Murong family to be where we are today, Ancestor Yanqing is indispensable and plays the most important role. I will consider his orders carefully."

Murong Qiutang took a deep breath, pinched the finger of the jade talisman, pressed harder, and replied coldly.

She knew what would happen if she refused. Although she was the contemporary patriarch of the Murong family and was known as the Queen of Manduo, she could not influence the family's will.

Not to mention that this matter was proposed by the Murong family's biggest backer, the ancestor Murong Yanqing who practiced in Luwu Mountain.

"We knew Qiu Tang that you would put the overall situation first..."

"Yes, we all misjudged you. The future of the Murong family depends on you."

Hearing this, all the elders in the meeting hall showed smiles on their faces, breathed a sigh of relief, and then all praised Murong Qiutang for putting the overall situation first and the interests of the family first.

Although the Murong Family can dominate the Manduo Ancient Star, it is nothing compared to Lu Wushan, the overlord of the Star Territory, let alone the Immortal Alliance that currently threatens the entire Star Territory.

If there is a chance and possibility, all the major families and forces in the Sifang Star Region will not want to move to the land of Kyushu.

"Aunt Qiutang, I don't think this should be the case. If the future and interests of such a large family need to be fought for by a woman, then this family will not be far away from decline..."

"In my eyes, this kind of family is no different from trash."

But at this moment, a powerful and sonorous voice suddenly reached the hall.

Luo Guyun was seen striding forward with his head held high, pushing open the door, looking directly at Murong Qiutang in the hall with piercing eyes.

"Luo Guyun?"

"This is not the place you should come. Qiu Tang is used to pampering you on weekdays, and you have never seen what kind of occasion this is. How can you say anything?"

"Get out of here."

The clan elders obviously did not expect that at this time, a clan member would suddenly open the door and interrupt, and after being stunned for a moment, they all reacted, with sullen expressions on their faces, and shouted loudly.

In their eyes, Luo Guyun was just an outsider, and he did not have the blood of the Murong family flowing through him.

In their opinion, when Murong Qiutang recruited his father Luo Jiusheng into his wife's marriage, it was just to silence the family and not to marry into other families.

His father, Luo Jiusheng, had nothing but an empty skin and no cultivation.

His son Luo Guyun was also mediocre. He hung around in high-profile places all day long, relying on the power of the Murong family to dominate others. At this time, he jumped out to accuse the family.

"Gu Yun?"

Murong Qiutang obviously didn't expect Luo Guyun to barge in at this time.

Her beautiful face couldn't help but reveal a touch of warmth, and it was no wonder that she loved and cared for him so much, unlike the rest of the family, who only cared about immediate interests and ignored her own thoughts.

"This is not the place you should be here. You go out first." Murong Qiutang shook his head and motioned him to leave with his eyes.

After all, Luo Guyun was not a direct descendant of the Murong family, and he was usually not liked by the clan members. If he stood up and said such words at this time, he would only make the clan members angry.

"Aunt Qiutang, I don't want you to do anything against your will."

"At this time I just want to know your own thoughts..."

Luo Guyun stood tall and straight, like an unsheathed sword with a sharp edge. He changed his usual frivolous and casual attitude and said with a very serious expression.

Although he arrived late, he understood the ins and outs of the matter from the conversations among the clan elders.

Lu Wushan asked Murong Qiutang, as the honorary elder, to go to Gouchen Palace on Lu Wushan's behalf to pay homage to the Young Leader of the Immortal League. Wasn't this just an intention to surrender to him?

The young leader of the Immortal Alliance has a good reputation, and everyone knows what kind of person he is.

As the overlord of the Kaixing Realm and one of the oldest and most powerful forces in the Sifang Star Realm, Lu Wushan actually did such a thing, which really made Luo Guyun feel ashamed.

"Luo Guyun, shut up. You eat my Murong family's food, drink my Murong family's food, and spend money on my Murong family's food when you go to Fengyue places on weekdays. But now you jump out and say that my Murong family is not, you are contrary. Can’t do it?”

"Who do you think you are, you are also dictating to my Murong family?"

Before Murong Qiutang could speak, several clan elders on the side shouted angrily with sullen faces and pointed their palms at Luo Guyun. They were very angry.

"Elders, please calm down..."

Murong Qiutang frowned and spoke out to persuade.

"Kick this kid out, who let him in?"

However, a clan elder ignored him and shouted angrily. As he spoke, his robes fluttered, and his withered palms instantly reached out. The light flowed, the runes flashed, the void rumbled, like wind and thunder, and Luo Guyun was about to be blasted away. out.

But in the face of such a blow, Luo Guyun did not dodge, looking at it with a calm face, and then when the palm was about to fall in front of him, he flatly stretched out two fingers, moved forward a little, and the light filled the air. , blocking it instantly.

No matter how much strength the clan elder exerted, even if his face turned red, he could not move forward even half an inch.

"What?"

"Seven realms?"

Seeing this scene, all the clan elders in the hall were shocked and couldn't believe their eyes.

At this time, Luo Guyun's cultivation aura had suddenly reached the level of the Seventh Realm Dharma Realm, even surpassing most of the clan elders here.

This made them almost think that they had seen it wrong.

"How can it be?"

Murong Qiutang was also startled, and then his beautiful eyes couldn't help but widen, filled with incredible splendor.

In her impression, Luo Guyun was just an idle playboy who seldom practiced and even rarely asked for cultivation resources from his clan.

When did he become a strong man in the Seventh Realm?

"Am I qualified to speak now?"

Luo Guyun waved his fingers gently, shaking the clan elder away in an understatement, and then scanned the people in the hall before speaking out.

The battle between the Yingzhao Star Territory and the Kaixing Star Territory would sooner or later spread to Mantuogu Star, so he didn't care whether his cultivation level was exposed. After all, he would definitely encounter a lot of trouble in the future.

In this world, the strong are respected. If you want to be qualified to speak in the Murong family, you must show strong strength.

"you……"

After Luo Guyun was so shocked, all the clan elders in the meeting hall were speechless.

To become a master of the Seventh Realm at such a young age is no weaker than the most powerful young descendant of Yingzhao Dojo in the current generation.

Luo Guyun actually hid it so deeply?

Murong Qiutang's eyes were a little complicated, thinking of the mysterious origins of their father and son, he waved his hands and sighed softly, saying, "Gu Yun, I appreciate your kindness, but after all, I am the patriarch of the Murong family. At this critical moment, I must put the future interests of my family first, and this is also my responsibility."

"You don't need to persuade me any more."

Her tone was soft, with some relief and touch.

When Luo Guyun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and even doubted his ears.

"Aunt Qiutang, I just want to tell you that if the Murong family really encounters any trouble, you don't need to rely on outsiders. You can actually rely on me."

"I may not be weaker than the young leader of the Immortal Alliance in the future."

Luo Guyun spoke again, his eyes blazing, staring at Murong Qiutang's beautiful face like a flower. Later, his tone did not hide the confidence at all.

After all, he has the mysterious jade pendant left by his father. As long as he has enough resources and inherited skills, he is destined to go further.
