I'm a villain, not a devil

I see……

Xiao En looked Wu Xiao up and down and asked, "You already knew that Bai Zhan and the tree man were connected, but you didn't expect that the tree man would come so soon?"

Wu Xiao nodded: "Death Blade told me that the empire's disaster was supposed to come in five years. During this period of time, the plot should be that His Majesty passed away and Bai Zhan gradually rose to power."

He showed a trace of doubt: "But for some reason, all of this was brought forward, causing all arrangements to go wrong - the tree people landed ahead of time, Bai Zhan couldn't wait to lead the enemy into the country, and His Majesty began to be unwilling to die and manipulated everything behind the scenes."

"After Bai Zhan died, His Majesty let the fourth brother take the throne. I gave the second brother and Grand Duke Yuantie some things, with the purpose of pushing the fourth brother down. The next person to take the throne will also be pushed down by me using various means. His Majesty's ceremony will never succeed."

"However, the sudden reinforcements from the tree people have disrupted my plan. I am the marshal, and my job is to guard the country's borders. I have no choice but to let Your Majesty continue."

Wu Xiao sighed: "I have never been defeated when I led troops into battle, but these arrangements I made in secret are always disrupted by accidents, which is really regrettable."

Seeing him like that, Sean's eye twitched suddenly.

Does Wu Xiao's statement prove another thing...

This is how the plot should develop in the original game?

If all of Wu Xiao's arrangements were effective, then five years later, the person sitting on the throne would be Bai Ye - this was exactly the same background setting that Sean was familiar with.

However, all this was interrupted and brought forward due to various accidents.

The surprise that only Sean understood was... his arrival.

Sean's arrival disrupted everything.

He couldn't help but think, if he didn't get involved in everything, how would things have developed at this point in time?

According to the plot line of the game, it is now the end of the version they released. At this point, there is a line that everyone will encounter, and that is Xiao Ci's slave line.

There are two results. Either half of the empire is razed to the ground by the self-destructive Xiao Ci, or they just have to do various tasks honestly and let Xiao Ci let down his guard.

Needless to say, half of the empire was blown up, so I'm afraid many plans don't need to be mentioned anymore, and the second one...

Sean recalled it carefully and suddenly remembered a serial task in Xiao Ci's task line.

The name of the mission is: Familiar taste.

The ultimate goal of a series of tasks is to help Xiao Ci regain the taste in his memory. The last part of the task will lead him into a sewer maze. After solving it, he will get a task item. Giving the item to Xiao Ci will complete the task.

Sean didn't remember what the mission item was. He only remembered that after Xiao Ci got it, there would be a cutscene. In the cutscene, there was a scene of her digesting the huge energy in her body, and a long groan would be heard in the background.

That voice... I had no impression of it before, but now that I think about it and compare it, it seems... similar to the emperor's?

"Damn it... Could that mission have stolen the emperor's hope of survival? Xiao Ci is special, and I've seen Xiao Ci's pure royal blood through the leaves... She can come and go freely in the imperial treasury, and she can understand the book that others can't understand..."

"And now, the emperor's ceremony will most likely point to something like royal bloodline..."

The corner of Xiao En's eye twitched. Could it be that because he took such good care of Xiao Ci, the emperor's survival ritual, which should have been interrupted by accident, was not interrupted...

Normally, the emperor should have died immediately.

Otherwise, in the original plot, even if Bai Ye awakened her special power and became Crimson, her ability would not be enough to fight against the Emperor, and it would be impossible for her to become the Queen of the Moon in the future - there was no problem with Wu Xiao's plan, at least in the original plot.

Another key point is the early landing of the tree people, which seems to have a lot to do with Sean... because those tree people are all in the same league, and their life frequencies are almost the same as Sean's.

Wait, could it be that the tree man’s early landing is... using me as an anchor?

Because in the original plot, Sean was doomed to die, and any aftermath could kill him - if Sean died, there would naturally be no anchor point.

If you think about it this way...it seems that everything that is happening now is related to me?

As he thought about it, Sean suddenly smiled.

Wu Xiao glanced at him and asked, "You seem very happy?"

Sean laughed and shook his head: "No, I just feel that...some things are destined. However, things other than fate will break these destinies, and those things other than fate will be happy to see this."

What he said was very confusing, and even Wu Xiao didn't quite understand.

But Sean just needs to understand it himself.

The tree man’s early landing, the emperor’s immortal plan…it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, because as long as all this makes the world more chaotic, that’s enough.

Visitors outside of fate are born to cause chaos.

Wu Xiao shook his head slightly and did not continue to ask Sean. He just sighed and said, "I didn't even tell my teacher about these things, but I told you today. It's really strange."

Sean shrugged: "You look like you have accepted your fate and are helpless."

Wu Xiao just smiled: "No, I just decided to change the way I want to be remembered - this world must remember a person called Wu Xiao, no matter what the way."

He stood up and walked outside: "Do whatever you want to do. Please allow me to be selfish and conceited for once and put all those things on my head. Thank you."

Sean turned his head and asked, "Including the one on Mount Duihuang?"

Wu Xiao paused, turned around, with a look of surprise and expectation in his eyes.

"Can you do it? If you can... God, that would be great." Wu Xiao took a deep breath, but even so, he couldn't hide the joy on his face. "I'm a marshal, so I have to guard the country's borders. This is a prerequisite for me to be remembered, and it's also a way to repay my teacher."

"But if you can do that, can you add the words Wu Xiao to the name of your accomplice?"

He clenched his fists and muttered to himself, "This way... everyone will remember me... this is great."

Sean twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled unconsciously: "If it works, I'll remember you."

"That's great..." Wu Xiao sincerely performed a standard imperial military salute.

When he walked out, he became the marshal of the empire again and gave an inspiring roar to everyone.

"Defend the Empire! No matter what! I am with you!"

"The white moon will always be prosperous, and the military fortune will flourish!"
