Chapter 303: This is the Most Savage Villain

"Your Highness, we commoners are innocent. Is this how you will treat us?"

"Your Highness, this is the ancestral hall of Yunzhou City. The memorial tablets of our ancestors and forefathers are all here. What are you doing?"

"They say that when the stone dragon emerges from the water, a new emperor will rise. We are still holding on to this belief, and the current emperor is also good. We love him, respect him, and hope he can firmly hold the throne to protect us from being bullied. But, Your Highness, your actions make us doubt the legend of the stone dragon emerging from the water!"

"Your Highness, every city has its own customs and styles. In Yunzhou City, we believe in the old immortal. Yet, you and your companions want to kill him. This fills us with fear!"

Among the people, someone stepped forward, deeply distressed.

"Huh, fear!" Xiaoyue laughed, looking at those few people, she said, "If I'm not mistaken, you few have been paid to deliberately cause trouble for me, haven't you?"

"We... We haven't!" Those few people glanced at each other and immediately denied it.

"Hmph, then it's time for me to take action, these scoundrels!" Ruo Xi sneered, then she extended her small hand, grabbed, and pinched.

"Aaaaah..."

Those few people immediately clutched their stomachs and fell to the ground.

The surrounding crowd was startled; they immediately retreated.

"What, what's happening?" The people cried out in alarm.

"Xiao Xin, come and put on a show!" Ruo Xi called out.

Then, Xiao Xin, who had just finished drawing the talisman, ran over, cleared his throat, and sneered, "Humph, you all said that your ancestors are all here. These two scoundrels have harmed your people, and your ancestors couldn't bear to see it, so they naturally punished them. Tell me, how can such despicable beings be fit to live among humans!"

Thus, the Imperial Tutor made his move.

With just a wave of his hand, those men were sent flying.

Spitting blood, they died!

The Imperial Tutor didn’t even blink as he acted.

"Xie-er, are you satisfied?" Ci Xin turned and asked.

"Hmm, it should have been like this. There are still a few in the crowd, but never mind, they’re just minor figures, incapable of causing much trouble. Careful Heart, you and Mother deal with this old immortal’s ascension issue, it's probably just a reflection!" Baby Ruo Xi looked at Little Heart, mumbled, then yawned.

"This place is so boring, I’m tired! This humble one wants to sleep!"

After talking to Little Heart, Baby Ruo Xi found a comfortable position in her mother’s arms and fell asleep.

"Your Excellency, the Imperial Tutor, you..." The people were terrified, and it took them a while to react, each of them too frightened to speak.

"I know you are unhappy, that you feel wronged, and that you think Princess and I have not resolved the matter but instead caused so many unnecessary deaths!" After Ci Xin finished speaking, he turned and said, "Open the inner chamber doors!"

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the guards opened the inner chamber doors, revealing a pile of bodies before them.

"Oh, so many bodies, what is this?"

"How could this happen? What exactly went on?"

The people covered their faces, then lowered their hands to look closely at the inner chamber, exclaiming in shock.

"This is the ancestral hall! How could so many things happen here? What's going on? Is it related to the village at the foot of the mountain? I heard that many people in Nandun Village also died!"

"All these are from the village at the foot of the mountain!" Suddenly, the old immortal on the ground got up and walked to the front of the crowd, saying, "I am Zhao Huai'an. I am seventy-eight years old this year. Thirty years ago, I was very ill, but I still had a breath left when my family buried me. Fortunately, they didn't bury me too deep, so I managed to crawl out myself. I've always wanted revenge, but I knew I couldn't just return to Yunzhou City to take revenge; I wouldn't stand a chance against the other members of the Zhao family. So, I fled to West Mountain!"

"Zhao Huai'an is about the same age as my father. He's no hundred-year-old man. My father lived a long life, and for our generation, living to sixty or seventy is already a blessing from heaven. My father said he would eat vegetarian every day to thank heaven!"

"Back then, it was said that Zhao Huai'an did too many bad things. To seize the wharf, he killed many people from the Qian family. At that time, Yunzhou wasn't dominated by three families: the Wan, Qian, and Zhao. There was also the Huang family. Zhao Huai'an killed eighty people from the Huang family, and then he himself was severely injured. The Zhao family feared retaliation..."

"Was he that powerful? I've heard about this, but it's said that the Zhao family was indeed too arrogant back then, which led to the wharf being taken over later."

The people began to come to their senses. They looked at the so-called old immortal, their eyes filled with shock.

"It's not that he was powerful, but that he was originally good friends with the Huang family. However, he poisoned their food to seize their wharf. Some of the Huang family didn't eat the poisoned food and saw him killing people, from the front courtyard to the back courtyard. Those who didn't eat the poisoned food resisted him, leading to his severe injuries. In the end, everyone thought he was dead, but little did they know, he didn't die; he even transformed into a new person!" Ci Xin said.

Ruo Xi was about to go to sleep, but she immediately opened her eyes upon hearing Ci Xin's story.

"Such an interesting story, why didn't you tell me earlier, Little Heart? Now I'm not sleepy anymore!"

Xiaoyue, hearing her daughter's thoughts, couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

This little girl, how can she be so adorable!

"So, Imperial Tutor, you mean to say that this is the most vicious person from the Zhao family, who had plastic surgery and came back?"

"But I don't quite believe it. Why would he come back? He's so old now; wouldn't it have been better for him to stay in West Mountain?"

"You're wrong. In fact, he never gave up. He has always wanted to be the boss of Yunzhou City, to fulfill his ambition and become the ruler of the world. Most of the recent incidents involving the Stone Dragon were orchestrated by him!" Ci Xin said.

"..."

The faces of the crowd showed disbelief.

"Is it really you, you old scoundrel? Tell me, is it you, you dog? We all worshiped you!" Qian Yong was the angriest. His family had a strict rule: never do business with the Zhao family because they were inherently evil and ruthless, not worth dealing with.

"Yes, it's me, I am Zhao Huai'an. Back then, I wanted to be the emperor of the three cities of Yunzhou. Even a small emperor is still an emperor, isn't it?" The old immortal suddenly said.
