《Life of a Villain》Chapter 37: Threat(I)
Advertisement
A young woman in a blue robe was leaning on a carriage in front of a large courtyard with her eyes closed, while two middle-aged men and a young man stood nearby. While the woman appeared to be lost in her thoughts, the young man kept glancing at her.
Shi Yi, who was lost in her thoughts, couldn’t forget what her father had said last night. She was told that Young Master Andy was interested in her, and from the moment she heard those words her heart couldn't calm down, and she couldn’t sleep or cultivate last night as the image of Young Master kept flashing through her mind.
It was the first time in her life that someone had pulled her heartstrings. And, to be honest, she deserved someone with unlimited potential just like her, and no one could be better than Young Master Andy, who was the rarest of rare talents with an unlimited future.
Even though she was engaged to the son of the Lu family patriarch, she agreed since her father had decided. But was she happy? She couldn’t tell because she spent all of her time cultivating, and marriage was just an obligation to her. However, the appearance of that man has changed her future. She now has a sense of purpose in her life, finally realizing that there is something more important than cultivation.
When she thought about the son of the Lu Family patriarch, the image of that worthless man who had been bothering her flashed through her mind. She argued with her family when she was told she was engaged to that worthless piece of shit who couldn’t cultivate, but her family rejected her opinion and told her they would think about it. Many times, she insulted him in front of everyone to let him know that she and he came from different worlds, but he persisted in bothering her.

Finally, unable to tolerate his behavior, she spread rumors about him, making him famous throughout the neighborhood. Finally, after her family’s insistence, they canceled her marriage to him, and she learned a few days later that he had jumped off the cliff.
She shook her head to get rid of the memory of that useless man as she pondered her future once more.
While she kept going to see the image of the Young man in a black robe, the image of the man in a white robe flashed before her eyes, her brow furrowed, but her ears picked up the sound of a neigh of the horse, with a slight creak of a carriage wheel. She opened her eyes to see a black carriage at a distance stop.
Her heart thumped when the driver opened the carriage door and her heartthrob, the Masked young Man in a black robe with his long silvery whitish hair drooping down, stepped out, and her heart almost stopped when he looked at her with a slight smile on his face.
But when she saw him turn around to extend his hand, a scowl formed on her face, and an uneasy feeling welled up in her heart when she saw a fair hand of a woman coming out of the carriage. She froze in place when she saw an otherworldly beauty step out of the carriage, and they exchanged a glance before he nodded in their direction and entered the courtyard with the woman.
When her gaze was fixed on the woman’s departing figure, her heart thumped faster, and for the first time in her life, she felt slightly jealous, jealous of the woman in that plain green robe. But when she thought about how the woman was dressed, she heaved a sigh and turned her gaze to her father, who was standing with the Patriarch of the Lu family, whose cold eyes were glaring at the courtyard.

Family before heading towards the courtyard, where they all followed him inside. While Lu Yong approached the courtyard, his cold eyes were lost and a variety of thoughts flashed through his mind. This was the second time in his life that he had been insulted, and both times, by the same young man. As he stepped into the courtyard, his fists clenched. But his gaze was drawn once more to the Lone Tree, which stood with many sword marks on its trunk. The image of the previous night flashed through his mind and his drawn towards his fingers. He eventually realized the man could use the intent at this young age. A sigh escaped his lips as he walked down the hall.
As soon as he walked into the hall, he noticed Andy sitting in the same spot, with his legs crossed, while the woman was nowhere to be found. When he looked at the young man, he noticed Andy gesturing him to sit, while his blue eyes behind the mask gazed at him.
Andy was sitting on the couch when he noticed figures entering the hall, he gestured for Lu Yong to sit on the opposite couch and he leaned back, both hands crossed across his chest, his gaze fixed on the door. With a smile on his face, the Shi Family patriarch sat beside Lu Yong. Lu Yuan and Shi Yi were standing behind the couch.
He noticed that Shi Yi's eyes were darting around the room as if she was looking for something, while Lu Yuan was staring at him with hatred in his eyes. He smirked and shifted his gaze to Lu Yong.
"So what's your decision,"
Lu Yong took a deep breath and said, "We have decided to call off the marriage with Shi Yi. And I've brought the Shi Family patriarch with me."
Andy nodded as his gaze was drawn to Shi Family patriarch, who was smiling at him.
"Oh! So, what's your choice?" Andy asked in a lethargic tone, his gaze fixed on the man in front of him.
While keeping a smile on his face, the patriarch of the Shi Family coughed and said, "It is our luck that you have taken an interest in the girl of our house. I just wanted to know, when should we keep the engagement."
"When did I talk about engagement?" Andy asked, frowning.
But as soon as Shi Family Patriarch heard those words, his smile faded away, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
Andy had a slight smile on his face as he said, "I mean what I said, I want that girl," and as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes took a look at Shi Yi, who was stunned, her watery eyes staring at him.
"And what if I say no?" Shi Family's Patriarch's voice reached his ears, and his gaze returned to the man in front of him.
Andy's lips curled into a smile as he said, "If you don't want your family to see tomorrow's morning. Say no,"
