I've Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It? Chapter 13

According to his previous experience with Xu Zi Yu, it didn’t matter if the child’s age was small, but they also needed respect.

“Big brother……” Xu Zi Rong quickly walked over to the door and opened it for Xu Zi Yan. Seeing this person in front of him with his constant pampering smile on his face, Xu Zi Rong’s mood became extremely complicated.

Clearly the appearance, voice, and his habits were all the same as the Xu Zi Yan in his memories. But unfortunately, regarding their attitudes toward him, the Xu Zi Yan in front of him did a 180 degrees turn.

When Xu Zi Yan followed Xu Xiao to talk, Xu Zi Rong returned to his room to find the Shuang Yu sword on his table.

Putting the Shuang Yu sword into his room, the meaning of that was self-evident. But Xu Zi Rong still profoundly remembered how in his last life, simply touching this Shuang Yu sword was enough to make Xu Zi Yan break his arm.

At that time, what did the other say?

A bastard actually dares to touch my stuff? You’re really looking to die early!

With his hand over his face, the corner of Xu Zi Rong’s mouth curved into an ice-cold smile. At that time, what had he wanted to do? Ah, right. Back then he had just been very envious of how Xu Zi Yan could cultivate, so he had wanted to secretly touch that seemingly powerful Shuang Yu sword.

Unfortunately, the result of touching that sword once was a broken arm. In addition, since that time he was never again allowed to enter the place near the martial arts training field.

Slowly lowering his hands, Xu Zi Rong calmly stared at that Shuang Yu sword, looking neither sad nor happy.

Exactly how much Xu Zi Yan loves this sword, Xu Zi Rong understood it clearly. If they did not receive Xu Zi Yan’s permission, nobody would dare to put this sword into his bedroom.

Why would Xu Zi Yan give him this sword?

Why was Xu Zi Yan so good to him??

He was merely an orphaned eight-year old child with no one to rely on, so no matter what he could not understand Xu Zi Yan’s aim.

He wanted to be a good older brother? Everything he did was purely to benefit Xu Zi Rong?

This idea only sprouted in his mind for a second before he nipped it in its bud. This was because anyone with a brain knew that was something impossible!

Xu Zi Rong was extremely confused like this as he constantly tried to deduce Xu Zi Yan’s aims when Xu Zi Yan himself knocked on his door. Thus, Xu Zi Rong could only bring along his complex mood as he opened his bedroom door for the other.

“What is Zi Rong doing?” The Xu Zi Yan who didn’t know how confused Xu Zi Rong was about his attitude asked with a smile.

Although there was a lot on Xu Zi Rong’s mind, he still immediately put on the mask of an obedient little brother. “Big brother, I was looking at the Shuang Yu sword.”

“Ah? Does Zi Rong like it?”

“I like it,” Xu Zi Rong bit his lower lip and embarrassedly laughed. “But, big brother……Shuang Yu sword is very precious right?”

Xu Zi Rong was very smart, thus naturally he didn’t directly say that this was Xu Zi Yan’s treasured baby. After all, he had just arrived at Xu family, so this wasn’t something he should know.

“It’s nothing. Xu family isn’t unable to buy you a sword, so if you like it then that’s great.” Xu Zi Yan replied generously.

Xu Zi Rong immediately felt a bit flabbergasted. Originally, he had thought that Xu Zi Yan would especially emphasize how this sword was something he liked, to subtly suggest how good the other was to him. However, he did not expect that Xu Zi Yan would end this thought from the start, and would instead deliberately lower the true value of the Shuang Yu sword.

But despite knowing this, Xu Zi Rong was of course not stupid enough to bring it up. Since Xu Zi Yan didn’t want to say it, then it was fine if he just pretended to not know. In any case, his current cultivation level was not high enough, so with the Shuang Yu sword beside him, it was indeed a bit safer.

Xu Zi Rong shyly smiled and carefully put the Shuang Yu sword away. Then, he sat across from Xu Zi Yan in a well-behaved manner. He now utterly believed that the other didn’t come to find him just because of the Shuang Yu sword.

Xu Zi Rong made a good guess. The Shuang Yu sword indeed didn’t hold much significance to Xu Zi Yan. Since it was suitable for Xu Zi Rong’s current use, then he might as well give it to him. Instead, Xu Zi Yan actually came because he wanted to chat with Xu Zi Rong about some cultivation problems.

In the memories of the original Xu Zi Yan, because of his extreme hatred toward Xu Zi Rong, naturally the original didn’t give Xu Zi Rong any opportunities to cultivate. So until Xu Zi Rong quietly left Xu family, nobody knew where the other had come in contact with cultivating.

The novel had only mentioned it once as well. The inheritance of the blood devil cultivation could only be found in the alley of a mountain. So of course, Xu Zi Yan thought that as long as he taught Xu Zi Rong the correct cultivation path early on, the other would naturally not cultivate in the ways of devil arts cultivation.

“Starting from tomorrow, you should come with me to learn cultivation at the martial arts training hall, alright?” Xu Zi Yan chuckled lightly as he told Xu Zi Rong.

The hand Xu Zi Rong hid in his sleeves suddenly clenched as his face morphed into the expression of someone at loss. “Martial arts training hall?”

Xu Zi Yan lightly patted his own forehead. “I forgot to tell you, the martial arts training hall is the place for Xu family children to cultivate. You are my younger brother, so naturally you have the qualifications to go there.” Pausing a bit, Xu Zi Yan continued to explain. “Xu family is a cultivation family. Although you can still live without cultivating, you are still young and do not know the cruelty of the outside world. Having more skills mean that if you have to go out in the future, you won’t be bullied by others.”

Xu Zi Rong rather excitedly nodded his head. “I understand now.”

“Mm. In that case take a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will come and get you.” Xu Zi Yan gently rubbed Xu Zi Rong’s head.

Xu Zi Rong smiled good-naturedly, and watched Xu Zi Yan leave.

After Xu Zi Yan left, his face swiftly changed as his expression became unreadable.

What was the real meaning behind Xu Zi Yan’s actions?

In his past life, Xu Zi Yan was afraid that in the future he would go against him, so Xu Zi Rong did not even touch the outskirts of the martial arts training hall. So why was it that now, Xu Zi Yan took the initiative to take him there?

Although Xu family’s cultivation techniques wasn’t something he valued, the ability to use the martial arts training hall to practice his Blood Sea Heart Sutra was also a good idea.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Zi Rong slowly pressed down the doubts in his heart. No matter what, this was a good thing. Although he was did not understand Xu Zi Yan’s intentions, he really did not worry about if there was any danger.

No matter what, he already had the experience of an adult. He truly did not believe that he could not win against a child who was only twelve years old (not!)!

A night passed like that……

On the morning of the next day, Xu Zi Rong got up extremely early. However, no matter how long he waited, Xu Zi Yan never appeared. Seeing that the first class of the martial arts training hall was about to start, he could not help but sneer. Was this first giving him hope, and then letting him down so he would feel sad?

It really was a child’s trick. If Xu Zi Rong was actually an eight-year old child, perhaps he would really have some kind of reaction. Unfortunately, a truly strong soul was the one inhabiting the weak body of today. These kind of small tricks didn’t mean anything to him.

Although he thought that Xu Zi Yan’s underhanded tricks were really rotten, Xu Zi Rong still decided to knock on Xu Zi Yan’s bedroom door. After all, he had made an appointment with the other party yesterday, so if the other person doesn’t appear, looking for them was the natural reaction of a young child.

Since it was the neighbouring room, after stepping out of his room it didn’t take many steps to bring him to Xu Zi Yan’s bedroom door.

The maid guarding the bedroom door looked both cunning and proper. Xu Zi Rong lightly furrowed his forehead: he remembered that back then, the maid Xu Zi Yan pampered the most was a maid called Ruo Qi or something like that. She wasn’t the one standing before him.

“Young Master Zi Rong,” Seeing Xu Zi Rong walk over, Ruo Hua slightly bowed a bit.

It was the first time Xu Zi Rong heard a title like that, and thus his eyebrow jumped a bit.

But he still revealed an extremely cute smile. “This big sister, my older brother……”

“Young Master Zi Rong has scared me. Calling me Ruo Hua is enough.” Ruo Hua was startled by the other’s words. What a joke! Yesterday, it was merely because Ruo Qi did not properly arrange Young Master Zi Rong’s bedroom location and thus she was chased out by the Young Master. Ruo Hua was just a small maid, so how could she be Young Master Zi Rong’s big sister? If that was heard by Xu Zi Yan, she would only follow Ruo Qi’s footsteps.

Xu Zi Rong paused a bit before changing his words. “Ruo Hua, is big brother in there?”

With a smile on his face as he stood there, Xu Zi Rong calmly waited for Ruo Hua to tell him that Xu Zi Yan had already departed to the martial arts training hall and that he shouldn’t ask for things that didn’t belong to him. Unexpectedly, Ruo Hua began saying something that was completely opposite of what he had originally thought: “Young Master is still asleep in his room. Does Young Master Zi Rong want to go in? Young Master has long ordered that if Young Master Zi Rong is looking for him, you could go to him no matter what time it was.”

Xu Zi Rong’s expression had a moment where it cracked. The scene where the other humiliated him actually did not appear??!!

Xu Zi Yan was really in his room??!!

“Okay, I’m going to see big brother.” The shock in his heart was intense like a surging wave, but the look on Xu Zi Rong’s face was still the same humble one from before.

Ruo Hua quietly pushed open the door and gestured for Xu Zi Rong to enter. Then, she once again returned to her previous position.

“Big brother?” Xu Zi Rong’s brain was moving extremely fast as he tried to deduce the meaning behind this, but even wearing out his mind didn’t help him come up with any answers. According to his guess, at this time Xu Zi Yan shouldn’t be in his room, but he really was here.

“Mm……” Unconscious mumbling was transmitted from behind the screen. Xu Zi Rong’s feet paused a bit, before he stridden around the screen.

Xu Zi Yan didn’t like having a lot of shackles on him as he slept, so currently his upper body was naked as he only wore some pant undergarments. He was rolled up in his blankets as he slept sweetly.

Xu Zi Rong: ……

His thousands of speculations wouldn’t have told him that he would see a scene like this. In any case, he shouldn’t be seeing Xu Zi Yan sleeping like the dead……

“Big brother? Big brother?” Xu Zi Rong had a feeling of defeat, as if he had punched into cotton. If they had followed the development of the original script, he could anger Xu Zi Yan half to death if he just displayed an indifferent smile before expressing how he didn’t care whether he could go to the martial arts training hall or not. However, everything was now thrown upside down! Xu Zi Yan wasn’t trying to mock and ridicule him, because he was still sleeping sweetly in his bed!!!

“Mmhm……” Xu Zi Yan answered him with two mumbles, before he turned around and rolled himself back into his blankets.

It had the ‘even if you kill me I won’t get out of bed’ kind of meaning.

Xu Zi Rong was unusually quiet for a long time before he stepped forward and lightly shook Xu Zi Yan. “Big brother, it’s time to get up.”

Xu Zi Yan mumbled again before turning around and kicking his blankets to the side, and then he stuffed his head into them……

Xu Zi Rong silently supported his forehead. A Xu Zi Yan like this was one he had never seen before, and it really exceeded his expectations.

“Big brother, you want to bring me to the martial arts training hall. Remember?” Xu Zi Rong used more force to shake Xu Zi Yan.

The author has something to say: Ahahahaha……the answer to the mystery was that Xu Zi Yan overslept!!!
