I am The Fated Villain

Chapter 1504: Is there anything whimsical? Meet this Yiyi girl

Zi Yunchuan, Zhao Tianfan, and the others were still deeply curious about Gu Changge’s identity and origins, brimming with questions they wanted to ask him. However, with almost half of Lin Shuixuan destroyed, everyone needed to find a taller jade boat along the bank of the Zigui River.

The boat’s hull was crystal clear like jade, adorned with exquisite immortal stones, and the shore was enveloped in mist, exuding the atmosphere of an immortal family. A few girls from Lin Shuixuan, dressed in flowing skirts with loose black hair, stood in front of the boat, playing jade flutes. The melodious notes seemed to drift from the heavens, soothing the minds of those who listened.

“It doesn’t really matter what your identity is. Where do you think I come from? That’s where I come from,” Gu Changge said from within the jade boat, shaking his head lightly while swirling a wine glass. His casual expression suggested he was unwilling to discuss his identity.

He remained in Zigui City not only to watch the unfolding drama but also to observe Zi Yunchuan, Zhao Tianfan, and the others as they speculated about him, allowing him to traverse the Xi Yuan civilization under a different identity. This would make things much more convenient for him.

After all, there had been no news or clues from Yu Xian Palace, and certain matters would likely need his direct involvement. However, Gu Changge didn’t wish to change his appearance, nor did he want to adopt a different name or use someone else’s identity.

While Zi Yunchuan and the others knew that his surname was Gu, that was the extent of their knowledge. The news of this incident would undoubtedly lead Xian Chu and others within the Xi Yuan civilization to speculate further.

After all, during his time in the immortal civilization, Gu Changge hadn’t hidden anything about himself. Given the power of the Xi Yuan civilization and its other formidable forces, it would be easy for them to discover his last name. Consequently, once news from the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain spread, it would likely prompt various associations and speculations among them. This, in turn, could impact Gu Changge’s future plans.

“Brother Gu, don’t worry. I will never speak about you to anyone, let alone reveal your identity to others,” Zi Yunchuan said earnestly. Zhao Tianfan and the others echoed this sentiment, aware that it was in their best interest not to divulge anything further about Gu Changge.

From Gu Changge’s earlier words, they understood the implied meaning: they could know what was appropriate for them to know but should refrain from prying into matters that were best left untouched, including his origins and identity. After all, Gu Changge regarded them as fellow Daoists, suggesting he held them in some esteem. Without that consideration, it would have been nearly impossible for them to forge any relationship with someone of his stature.

Gu Changge took a sip of his wine and chose not to pursue the topic further. He didn’t particularly care, nor did he fully trust the assurances given by Zi Yunchuan and the others. In fact, he had already played tricks on several individuals in the past for similar reasons.

When the topic of his identity arose, the memories of that part became blurred and dim. Even if a powerful being attempted to probe their memories, it would be futile, as nothing could be detected.

“Greetings, young master…”

On the other side of the jade boat, a girl in white named Yiyi, who had changed into a clean white dress, suddenly floated over. She still wore a veil, her head bowed, holding a zither tightly in her hands. Her blue hair cascaded like a waterfall, gently swaying in the night wind, while her flawless, snow-white long skirt elegantly outlined her slender and graceful figure.

“What are you doing here?” Gu Changge asked, putting down his cup and glancing at her.

Zi Yunchuan, Zhao Tianfan, and the others had keen eyesight and had noticed the figure of the girl in white by the bank earlier. Seeing her wander around for a while, they were surprised that she would approach him so openly.

Gu Changge had also noticed her but had chosen not to pay much attention.

“Yiyi, thank you for your kindness in helping me,” the girl in white said nervously, standing beside him. She seemed shy, her hand—delicate and as white as green onions—clutched the zither tightly, and her voice trembled slightly.

Gu Changge shook his head lightly, replying, “It was just a small effort; you don’t need to come here to thank me.”

Yiyi didn’t respond but simply lowered her head, standing silently beside him.

Gu Changge picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, “You don’t need to follow me. You are already free; you can go wherever you want.”

The girl in white quietly raised her eyes to glance at him and replied softly, “But it was you who paid to take me away from Lin Shuixuan.”

Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged as he shook his head, saying, “I didn’t spend a penny.”

While he had helped the girl in white at the time, it had primarily been to take advantage of the situation during his conflict with Chu Xiao, thus forcing her to reveal her identity. If not for this reason, Gu Changge wouldn’t have bothered with such trivial matters. Now that he had achieved his goal, the girl in white was of no further use to him.

Upon hearing this, the girl in white lowered her head, and the face beneath her veil seemed to grow slightly pale. She didn’t say anything else but held tightly onto a clean white handkerchief—the same one Gu Changge had handed her earlier.

Witnessing this, the others in the jade boat remained silent, while Fairy Cai Yun couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. In her opinion, the girl in white was simply trying to cling to Gu Changge because of his extraordinary background, hoping to gain something from it. But how could such a whimsical notion possibly come to fruition? Even she wouldn’t dare to entertain such thoughts.

On the contrary, Zi Yunchuan frowned and studied the girl in white carefully. The more he looked, the more familiar she seemed, even through the veil. What had once felt distant now felt close, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had seen her somewhere before.

“You are Suyi…” he suddenly exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.

“Why? Brother Yunchuan knows this Yiyi girl?” Zhao Tianfan, Daoist Mingying, and the others looked on in surprise, their expressions reflecting their curiosity.

The girl in white kept her head lowered, trembling slightly at his words. She hadn’t expected that her cousin would remember her. Back in Lin Shuixuan, she thought he had chosen to stand by and watch, forgetting about her as family.

“Can you take off the veil?” Zi Yunchuan asked again, his tone becoming slightly awkward.

As he spoke, it dawned on him that those somewhat familiar eyebrows and eyes had indeed been seen before. However, he couldn’t comprehend how his cousin had ended up in such a predicament, reduced to being sold into Lin Shuixuan.

Gu Changge was also taken aback; he hadn’t delved into the past of the girl in white. He hadn’t anticipated that Zi Yunchuan would actually recognize her.

When the girl in white heard Zi Yunchuan’s words, she raised her eyes to glance at Gu Changge, her surprise evident as she looked at him. After a moment of hesitation, she gently lifted her hand to her ear and slowly removed the veil.

Zhao Tianfan, Daoist Mingying, and the others were left stunned, astonishment flashing across their faces. Even Fairy Cai Yun was momentarily taken aback, followed by a wave of envy.

The girl in white kept her gaze downcast. She appeared no more than seventeen, her natural beauty striking. Her delicate features seemed sculpted from immortal jade, her skin as white as snow, giving her an ethereal quality as if she were covered in frost.

The veil she had worn in Lin Shuixuan was a secret divine weapon, preventing cultivators from prying into her true appearance. Previously, she had a scar on her face that she had inflicted upon herself, nearly running through half of it, but few had seen it.

Such scars were minor concerns in Lin Shuixuan, though. Before coming to the jade boat, the girl in white had deliberately sought out Madam Liu, asking for an elixir that would heal her injuries and remove the scars, restoring her previous appearance.
