Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Chapter 80. Meddling in Affairs? The Wipes-Out-the-Entire-Village Kind (4)



After openly following Bai Weiwei for about ten days, Shen Wan witnessed the speed at which she amassed silver.

Wherever there was conflict, Bai Weiwei would appear. She wouldn’t take sides or kill anyone, only treat illnesses.

Whoever could afford her price would be treated first.

When two factions were fighting to the death, Bai Weiwei’s sudden appearance made everyone realize the fight couldn’t continue.

Whether it was rare diseases or internal injuries from cultivation gone awry, she handled them all with ease. Bai Weiwei not only treated illnesses and saved lives, but also sold pills to both sides that instantly boosted inner strength.

At first, both sides might purchase Bai Weiwei’s strength-enhancing pills to continue fighting. When the battle reached its climax, they’d suddenly realize that all their silver had been earned by the woman watching from the sidelines.

They were fighting to the death here, while that woman was profiting from their life-and-death struggle. Anyone would be upset!

Later, wherever Bai Weiwei appeared, both sides would tacitly cease their conflict.

There’s a saying that fits well here: cut your losses in time. With Bai Weiwei around, they didn’t know how long they’d have to fight. In the end, they wouldn’t have defeated their opponent, but would be dragging their heavily injured bodies and handing over silver and treasures to Bai Weiwei, left looking like ragged beggars.

“I’m not the one who massacred Flying Crane Manor.” It was Fu Yunkui of Wuji Palace speaking. He stood with his hands behind his back, glancing with a half-smile at Meng Xuan, who was crouched on the ground spitting blood, his face as white as paper. “If I didn’t want to know who was framing me behind the scenes, I really wouldn’t spare your life today.”

“If not you, then who?” Meng Xuan raised his head viciously. “Do you admit you killed my master?”

Fu Yunkui’s expression showed a hint of helplessness as he chuckled, “That’s right, I killed Meng Wenshu. It was a private grudge between us. We had agreed to duel behind the mountain. He lost and I killed him.”

“You killed my master, then massacring our Flying Crane Manor isn’t strange at all,” Meng Xuan said coldly. “I was sent out by my master’s palm strike and escaped countless pursuits along the way. Thinking back, with the people you arranged, it would have been easy to kill me. Why did they let me escape like they were toying with a puppy?”

This was something Meng Xuan had been puzzling over since he woke up.

Why did those who massacred Flying Crane Manor deliberately let him escape? It was also because of this thought that he dared to face Fu Yunkui. Crossing hands with him was just a test. He felt that this wasn’t simple; if Fu Yunkui didn’t kill him, those black-clothed men were likely arranged by him.

Those black-clothed men didn’t kill him, but they caused havoc wherever he had hidden. Along his escape route, he had gone back to check the places he had hidden, and found that several innocent people in those places had been killed.

“I wasn’t sure before, but now I’m certain. The ones who massacred the manor were you, Fu Yunkui,” Meng Xuan said, his face pale and full of pain. “What are you trying to do? For what purpose did you slaughter hundreds of innocent lives in our manor?”

Fu Yunkui’s smile faded, showing some impatience. “I can’t be bothered to explain to you.” He turned to leave, having thought Meng Xuan was someone of substance, but finding him to be a fool instead. He had stayed to say so much, intending to warn Meng Xuan, to make him vigilant and perhaps join forces to find the true culprit framing him.

Though he was the leader of the evil Wuji Palace and didn’t consider himself a good person, he didn’t want to bear the blame for massacring hundreds at Flying Crane Manor.

“Fu Yunkui, stop right there.”

Fu Yunkui completely ignored him, coldly laughing, “This lord doesn’t want to waste words with a fool now.” He truly regretted wasting so much time talking to Meng Xuan.

Watching Fu Yunkui’s figure walk away, Meng Xuan shouted, “Fu Yunkui, one day, I, Meng Xuan, will avenge the three hundred innocent lives of Flying Crane Manor and tear you to pieces!”

Fu Yunkui: He really didn’t want to deal with fools. Time to go, time to go.

Meng Xuan coughed painfully a few times, his fist pounding the ground forcefully until it was a bloody mess.

“Young Master Meng.” Yue Han appeared from somewhere, helping Meng Xuan up. “Are you alright?”

Meng Xuan stood with Yue Han’s help, shaking his head. “I’m fine. Thank you for your care these past days, Miss Yue. You shouldn’t follow me anymore. Please go. I carry a deep blood debt, and who knows what dangers lurk around me. I don’t want to implicate an innocent like you.”

“Young Master Meng, perhaps those involved in the manor massacre weren’t Fu Yunkui?”

“He’s already admitted he killed my master with his own hands. This revenge must be taken sooner or later.” As Meng Xuan spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood. Mainly because his injuries hadn’t fully healed, and he had just taken another palm strike from Fu Yunkui. Now he could barely hold on, his knees weak and vision darkening. If not for Yue Han’s quick reflexes, he would have fallen straight to the ground.

Yue Han hoisted Meng Xuan up, intending to take him back for treatment. Just then, the mixed sound of horse hooves reached her ears. Her cold face turned towards the source of the footsteps, and she saw three beautiful women of different appearances riding horses approach.

Upon seeing one white-clad woman among them, she noticeably relaxed, and her foot, which was about to step forward, retreated.

“Miss Yue Han, need treatment?” Bai Weiwei smiled as she dismounted, stepping lightly towards Yue Han. She briefly examined Meng Xuan. “His injuries weren’t fully healed, and it seems he’s suffered new ones. If not treated promptly, I’m afraid it will damage his foundation and hinder his future martial arts practice.”

Yue Han set Meng Xuan down from her shoulder and glanced at his pale, weak face before asking, “Please, Palace Master Bai, help treat Young Master Meng.”

“You should know my rules. Saving people is one thing, but rules can’t be discarded,” Bai Weiwei said with a smile. “Our Water Cloud Palace isn’t easy to run. The entire palace depends on me as the Palace Master to support it. Miss Yue Han won’t make things difficult for me, will you?”

“Of course not,” Yue Han hesitated before taking out a stack of banknotes from her bosom. “I can’t get other things for Palace Master, but will banknotes do?”

“They’ll do.” Bai Weiwei quickly took the banknotes, counted them, and seemed quite satisfied. She took out a white jade bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Yue Han. “These are healing pills. Feed them to him. As long as he doesn’t use his inner strength for three days, there shouldn’t be any problems with his injuries.”

“Of course, if there are any issues, it’s not a problem for me. As long as he has a breath left, Miss Yue Han can bring him to me.”

Yue Han: “……” Never again. So exploitative!

Shen Wan: So exploitative, this woman.

188: No matter how exploitative, is she as bad as you? Fine, these two women are of the same ilk.

Hearing Bai Weiwei’s words, even Yue Han’s cold expression nearly cracked. If possible, she really didn’t want to seek her out again.

After feeding Meng Xuan the pill, she inadvertently glanced at Shen Wan’s face, her eyes narrowing. “I didn’t expect Palace Master Bai to be such a kind-hearted person.”

Bai Weiwei smiled and said, “I don’t know her.”

“Mm, this doesn’t concern Miss Bai. We’re just traveling the same road,” Shen Wan said tactfully. Her wife’s face couldn’t be torn down, so she’d quietly play along.

Yue Han’s gaze lingered on Shen Wan’s face for a moment before she hoisted Meng Xuan onto her shoulder and left.

Shen Wan watched Yue Han’s retreating figure, resting her chin on her hand. The male lead was indeed the male lead. Without the original host, that foolish little village girl, there was still a Yue Han wholeheartedly helping him.

In the novel’s plot, there were three women around the male lead. One was the original host, one was Yue Han, and the other was Meng Xuan’s Little Junior Sister, Meng Shan.

Among them, the original host was silly and naive, with pure feelings. Meng Shan had a somewhat domineering personality, never letting go when she had the upper hand, with the temper of a young lady, but she also truly liked Meng Xuan. Yue Han had a cold personality, always dressed in black, and usually helped Meng Xuan silently. From initially having ulterior motives to later being willing to violate everything for Meng Xuan, whether betraying those behind her or doing ruthless things.

“Miss Bai, how did I do just now?” Shen Wan looked at Bai Weiwei expectantly. Tactful enough, right?

Bai Weiwei burst out laughing. Whatever this girl’s purpose was in playing dumb, these past few days by her side seemed to have changed something.

Bai Weiwei turned and mounted her horse, with Shen Wan climbing up after her.

Bai Weiwei asked with a smile, “I really don’t know why you’re following me.”

“Because the jianghu is dangerous, and it’s safe by Miss Bai’s side. Also, Miss Bai saved my life, so I’m already your person,” Shen Wan said solemnly, without a hint of jest.

“Liar.” Bai Weiwei whipped her horse, sending it galloping off. “You’d better behave. If I find out you’re trying to do something bad, I’ll make you rot into mud in an instant.”

Luyi added: “Our Palace Master not only treats illnesses, removes poisons, and saves people, but she’s also skilled in using poisons. No one can cure the Palace Master’s poisons.” So, behave and keep your little life. Don’t anger the Palace Master. Just consider the favor of those flatbreads from before.

Shen Wan hurriedly chased after them. “Miss Bai, I’m really not lying. When I say I’m your person, I mean it.”

That’s right, she was already her person. Why wouldn’t Miss Bai believe her?

Hearing the voice from behind, Bai Weiwei’s fine brows furrowed slightly. Her person? She felt there was something strange about this phrase, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

[188, seeing that Bai Weiwei truly didn’t seem to understand, encouraged: “Wan Wan, keep it up. One day you’ll surely win Bai Weiwei’s heart. Don’t give up.”]

As a thoughtful system, he had to use sincere words to encourage his host in difficult and low moments.

This was what he should do!

Shen Wan: What a foolish system!

Where was she discouraged? Where was she feeling low? She didn’t expect to awaken the other’s feelings for her just by appearing before her. She was already very satisfied that Bai Weiwei had stopped Yue Han’s sword at the beginning.

A couple of days later, Shen Wan heard that Meng Xuan had been taken back to Guixu Sect by Yang Yanqing and reunited with Meng Shan. From then on, Meng Xuan and Meng Shan settled in Guixu Sect.

And that Yue Han also stayed by Meng Xuan’s side. Meng Shan couldn’t stand it, having a powerful and beautiful woman like Yue Han beside the Senior Brother who had grown up with her. She often threw little tantrums at Meng Xuan, and Meng Xuan remained the same, having no principles in front of Meng Shan.

His mind was full of his master’s kindness in raising him, the hatred for the manor’s destruction, and his need to take good care of his Little Junior Sister. So in front of Meng Shan, he always protected her.

Yue Han was not good with words and did things silently. Her face was always cold, and no one could discern any emotions from it.

After appeasing his Little Junior Sister, Meng Xuan would remember his unkindness to Yue Han and find an opportunity to apologize properly. He would explain that his Little Junior Sister had lost her father and so many familiar people from the manor, so she was upset, and as her Senior Brother, he could only take more care of her. With this, Yue Han would completely forget any grievances from before.

Shen Wan listened to the gossip while following Bai Weiwei around treating illnesses and saving people, living a life like an immortal. Indeed, once free of Meng Xuan, all troubles would stay away.

A few days later, a series of incidents occurred in the martial arts world.

It was said that several groups of disciples from righteous sects had been completely wiped out by mysterious figures while traveling together.

In just half a month, carefully counting, most major sects in the martial arts world had lost quite a few disciples. They were killed in groups of three to five, and the mysterious figures came and went without a trace, never caught in the act.

Even so, the entire martial arts world believed that Wuji Palace must be behind this.

A few days later, an event occurred that truly convinced people that Wuji Palace was responsible.

It turned out that Guixu Sect’s disciples had also met with disaster.

That day, Meng Xuan, Meng Shan, and Yue Han happened to be going down the mountain to the city. They had wandered around the city until nearly sunset before preparing to return to the sect. Halfway back, the three heard sounds of fighting and fierce killing. They quickly rushed over.

They arrived just in time to see a group of black-clothed figures fleeing quickly, while the bodies lying on the ground were Guixu Sect disciples. Seven or eight people had died right before Meng Xuan’s eyes. Yue Han went to chase the black-clothed figures but naturally didn’t catch up.

Meng Xuan, his eyes red, told everyone that those black-clothed figures were exactly the same as the ones who had destroyed their manor, with identical characteristics.

As mysterious figures killed many righteous disciples, the entire martial arts world became enraged. Led by Yang Yanqing of Guixu Sect, the sects gathered. This time, they were truly going to crusade against Wuji Palace.

For this matter, they even selected a martial arts alliance leader, naturally with Yang Yanqing taking the position.

This time, all major sects sent their experts to attack Wuji Palace together. However, just the mysterious formations at the foot of Wuji Palace mountain stopped them outside, unable to advance.

The major sects realized this wouldn’t work. A frontal assault on Wuji Palace was impossible. With no choice, they had to turn back and discuss strategies with Yang Yanqing.

They finally came up with two crucial points necessary to attack Wuji Palace.

First, they needed someone to infiltrate Wuji Palace and scout the situation.

Second, they needed to find Fu Yunkui’s weakness.

Neither of these points was easy.

For a time, those in the martial arts world who wanted to crusade against Wuji Palace found themselves in a difficult situation.

“Palace Master, who really killed Flying Crane Manor and those sects’ disciples? I don’t think it was Fu Yunkui,” Luyi said. In her impression, although Fu Yunkui wasn’t a good person, he was straightforward in his actions. If he did something, he generally wouldn’t deny it and would welcome people seeking revenge.

If he didn’t do it, he would immediately jump out and hit people.

That time with Flying Crane Manor, he had come out and beaten Yang Yanqing.

This time with the disciples of various sects being killed, he had also made a statement. When the major sects attacked the foot of the mountain, his voice had come down, saying briefly, “This lord didn’t do that. Go back where you came from.”

Of course, no one believed him.

“Who else could it be? It must be Yang Yanqing. Don’t you think he looks like a hypocrite, most likely to do bad things? Didn’t he pretend to beat himself half to death last time and call Miss Bai to treat his injuries?” Shen Wan said unconsciously. Instantly, three pairs of eyes fell on her.

Why three pairs of eyes?

Luyi plus Bai Weiwei made only two people. It was because another person had floated down from a distant tree. Who else could it be but Fu Yunkui?

His handsome face wore a somewhat evil smile as he instantly appeared beside Shen Wan, examining her carefully. “Little girl, you’re not deaf or blind? So you were deceiving me last time?”

Shen Wan quickly moved behind Bai Weiwei, saying pitifully, “I’m not not deaf or blind. I’m sometimes deaf and sometimes blind. When I’m deaf or blind isn’t under my control. That’s just how my condition is. Fortunately, Miss Bai helped me, otherwise I’d still be both deaf and blind.”

Hearing such nonsensical words, Fu Yunkui carefully processed them and seemed to understand.

She meant that she was originally both deaf and blind, but with Bai Weiwei’s help, she became sometimes deaf and sometimes blind. When she met him last time, she was disabled. This time when she met him, she was normal. And it couldn’t be predicted whether she’d be normal or abnormal the next time they met.

Fu Yunkui frowned deeply. In all his years roaming the jianghu, he’d never encountered such a strange ailment.

He turned his gaze to Bai Weiwei’s face and asked, “Palace Master Bai, is there really such a disease in this world? Forgive my ignorance.”

“The world is vast and full of wonders,” Bai Weiwei replied calmly with a slight smile. As for whether such a disease existed, she neither confirmed nor denied it. If Fu Yunkui was so curious, let him guess.

She noticed that after answering this way, Shen Wan looked at her with bright, sparkling eyes, making her feel a bit uncomfortable. Was this little girl thanking her for not exposing her earlier lie?

“Little girl, you said earlier that the one who destroyed Flying Crane Manor was Yang Yanqing, and the one killing disciples from various sects is also him?” Speaking of this matter, Fu Yunkui became much more serious. “How do you know?”

Shen Wan: “Just a wild guess.”

Fu Yunkui: “……”

A wild guess? And she just happened to guess Yang Yanqing?

“Then how did you guess it was him? He’s now the martial arts alliance leader of the entire righteous faction, representing justice and leading the crusade against my Wuji Palace, an evil sect.” Fu Yunkui said with some mockery in his tone, though he also felt Yang Yanqing was a hypocritical old dog.

“I just made a random guess and happened to land on him. There’s no reason why. Why don’t you go investigate?”

Fu Yunkui: “Since you guessed this, why don’t you go investigate?”

Shen Wan jumped up, saying innocently, “I’m not the one falsely accused, nor is it my disciples being killed. I’m just a bystander. Whether he did it or not has nothing to do with me.”

Bai Weiwei: It seemed to make some sense. This little girl had potential, very much like someone from her Water Cloud Palace.

“You little girl, you really have no compassion,” Fu Yunkui said.

“I’m not Guanyin Bodhisattva, just a weak girl who can’t even tie up a chicken. Randomly feeling compassion would only invite trouble. You’re so powerful, why don’t you feel some compassion?”

Fu Yunkui coughed lightly and said, “This lord is the master of Wuji Palace, recognized by the entire martial arts world as an evil sect, not righteous people. We have no compassion to give.”

“But you’ve been falsely accused,” Shen Wan said.

Fu Yunkui’s expression twisted a bit. “I must get to the bottom of this matter.”

“You should go quickly then. If you can’t handle it, you can come find Miss Bai. Her medical skills are superb. She can save you even if you have just one breath left. It’s just a bit expensive, but otherwise fine. Actually, there’s a reason for the high price. As they say, you get what you pay for.”

“Whether it’s Yang Yanqing or not, this lord will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.” Fu Yunkui had been very angry lately. Whenever something bad happened to those so-called righteous sects, they would first pin the blame on him, Fu Yunkui.

If any disciples died unnatural deaths, their first words would be, “It must be Fu Yunkui’s doing. Who else could it be?”

If some sect had their convoy robbed, those people would immediately say, “Besides Fu Yunkui, I can’t think of anyone else.”

When a sect master’s daughter went missing, everyone would speculate, “I suspect Fu Yunkui did it. Let’s go up the mountain to crusade against him.”

When two factions fought and both ended up badly injured, looking at the miserable state of each other’s sects, they would all suspect that Fu Yunkui had sent people to sow discord and drive them apart.

Everything was Fu Yunkui’s doing. Fu Yunkui really couldn’t take it anymore!

In all these years, he hadn’t really done many evil deeds of indiscriminate killing. However, he had often played tricks on various sects, simply because they always said “This must be Fu Yunkui’s doing” for everything.

After Fu Yunkui left, Bai Weiwei sat beside Shen Wan and asked, “How did you guess it was Yang Yanqing?”

“Didn’t Miss Bai diagnose last time that he had beaten himself half to death? If there wasn’t some scheme, why would he use such a self-harming ruse?”

Since her wife wanted to hear, she naturally had to explain seriously. She couldn’t just casually mislead her.

She had already hinted to Fu Yunkui. Now without her as the female lead to be his weakness, even if someone infiltrated Wuji Palace, they couldn’t harm Fu Yunkui, and Wuji Palace wouldn’t be damaged. Without her as the female lead, Fu Yunkui himself was a man without weaknesses. With his powerful martial arts, even if the entire martial arts world crusaded against him, he could always escape and wouldn’t meet a miserable end. Come to think of it, the original host had actually wronged him a bit.

“What else did you guess?” Bai Weiwei had just asked casually, not expecting Shen Wan to answer so seriously.

“If Yang Yanqing is behind this, going to such lengths and paying such a price, he must have some other purpose. Why doesn’t he kill Meng Shan and Meng Xuan to cut the grass and eliminate the roots?”

Bai Weiwei raised an eyebrow slightly. “Why not?”

“I guess these two people can’t die yet for him. Maybe he needs them alive to gather martial arts forces to crusade against Wuji Palace. Or maybe one of them has something he wants to obtain.”

Bai Weiwei fell silent for a moment, then asked, “Then why does he insist on crusading against Wuji Palace?”

“I guess…” Shen Wan’s eyes moved a bit. “Could it be that Wuji Palace also has part of this thing? This thing isn’t complete, and he needs to borrow the martial arts forces to obtain the complete version.”

“I’m just guessing wildly,” she added at the end.

Sharing secrets with her wife was really difficult.

Bai Weiwei stared at Shen Wan for a while, then leaned in close. A faint fragrance wafted over, making Shen Wan’s cheeks flush slightly.

Suddenly leaning so close, was it because her guess was very accurate and Bai Weiwei was captivated by her intelligence, planning to kiss her?

188: Dream on.

“To guess so accurately even with wild guesses is really impressive,” Bai Weiwei said with a smile. “What Yang Yanqing wants to obtain is a treasure map.”

Shen Wan: ???

How did she know??

“I heard it contains lots of gold and silver treasures, precious medicinal ingredients, and sword manuals and martial arts techniques. I’m more interested in the first two,” Bai Weiwei said, sitting up straight with her hands crossed on her knees, a smile curving her lips. “You seem to know quite a bit. Do you know the location of the treasure?”

Shen Wan quickly shook her head: “I don’t know.”

Bai Weiwei looked a bit disappointed. “So you don’t know. I thought you might.”

“But I can accompany you to search for it,” Shen Wan said hurriedly, secretly communicating with 188. “Brother 8, the treasure hunting depends on you. Please scan the underground of this world for me.”

[188: “Wan Wan, that’s very difficult…”]

“If you succeed, I’ll buy you the Valentine’s Day limited edition skin.”

[188: “No problem.”]
