Crazy criticism of villains: She is good at attracting hatred

In the ninth small world, in a house somewhere in the royal capital of Jingwang City.

The mansion covers a huge area, and even the location is the best in the entire Jingwang City. Those who can afford to live nearby are all wealthy or noble figures in the royal city.

But this house is different from other luxuriously decorated mansions on the street. Although it is located in a good location, the house looks extremely old and dilapidated.

Even the door that should have been painted red has become mottled due to the erosion of time.

At this moment, inside the courtyard, a voice of argument was heard coming from inside.

"Chen Yilu, just hand it over. That man is just a cover. The one who really wants to take the things is the person behind him. Don't you understand?!"

A young general in armor stood up from the table excitedly.

His face was flushed, and veins on his forehead were bulging. It was obvious that he was extremely excited.

Opposite him, there was a girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

The girl had a pretty face and a bit of coolness. Her long hair, which just reached her shoulders, was tied up high. Judging from the sword at her waist, she was obviously a swordsman.

Unlike the excited young general, the girl named Chen Yilu just silently picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, then put the teacup down and looked at the young general in front of her again.

"General Zhu, I have said everything I need to say. That thing is not for them, and it is not something they can get their hands on."

"Please tell them that as long as I, Chen Yilu, am still alive, I will never allow that thing to be lost."

"This is the rule that our Chen family has adhered to for countless years. As a descendant of the Chen family, I naturally have to fulfill my obligations."

Listening to the girl's neither humble nor arrogant voice, Zhu Qiu just felt a headache.

This was not the first time he came to see Chen Yilu.

To be honest, he really didn't want to come.

From the first time he dealt with Chen Yilu, he knew that although this girl looked weak, her character was extremely tough.

To put it nicely, it means a firm stance.

To put it bluntly, he is a bit stubborn.

"Chen Yilu, your Chen family has been guarding this thing for a thousand years. Everyone in the world knows that the person has no descendants. What are you waiting for?!"

Zhu Qiu suppressed his temper, sat back in his chair, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, he put the teacup down heavily, causing the tea table to shake violently.

"It's not easy for you to enter the Earth Ranking at your age."

"Although you are only ranked 98th on the Earth List, you are still very young. With time, it is not impossible for you to climb into the top ten on the Earth List."

"As long as you hand over that thing, the person behind me will give you sufficient resources for cultivation and can even help you revive this family."

"That thing is useless to you. Why are you protecting it with your life like this?!"

As Zhu Qiu spoke, he couldn't help but sigh again, and even the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes seemed to have become more serious.

Chen Yilu smiled coldly when she heard this.

"Cultivation resources? Commander Zhu, are you playing dumb with me?"

"Can the importance of that thing be measured by cultivation resources?"

"Even a three-year-old child would know the difference in value between the two, right?"

Seeing Chen Yilu point out the key point directly, Zhu Qiu, who came to persuade her, was speechless.

Because even he knew that Chen Yilu was right.

But this is the truth, but without strong strength to back it up, who would be willing to reason with you?

A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure...

Zhu Qiu pinched his temples with a headache.

"Ms. Chen, let me be honest with you."

"This time, I will come to negotiate for the last time as that person's lobbyist."

Hearing Zhu Qiu's somewhat hoarse voice, Chen Yilu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even her hands were lightly placed on the three-foot sword at her waist.

Zhu Qiu saw it clearly, but he did not show any alert gesture. He just smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Ms. Chen, it's useless."

"Although you are very talented, you are only ranked 98th on the Earth Ranking."

"I, Zhu Qiukong, am more than ten years older than you and rank 46th on the Earth Ranking."

"But even I have to obey that man. If I dare to resist, my head will be hung on the top of Jingwang City tomorrow."

Zhu Qiu's words were full of bitterness, and he was obviously extremely afraid when he mentioned "that person".

Such a family with a profound family background and strong people from the Heavenly Rankings is not something that people like them who are in the middle and lower levels of the Earthly Rankings can afford to offend.

But when Chen Yilu heard this, there was no fear in her eyes.

Not only that, her grip on the sword tightened even more.

Although Chen Yilu didn't say anything, Zhu Qiu knew that his lobbying had failed again just by looking at Chen Yilu's eyes.

Thinking of this, he sighed, then stood up with his hands on his knees and walked out of the reception room without looking back.

Just as he was about to step over the threshold, his raised foot suddenly stopped in the air.

"After I go back, if nothing unexpected happens, those people will arrive at this house at midnight tonight."

"If Miss Chen changes her mind before midnight, please send someone to contact me at any time. I will definitely be there at your beck and call."

After he finished speaking, he did not stop but strode out of the room with big strides. Only his voice continued to echo in the living room.

"Ms. Chen, please do not waste your life because of external things and the illusory family inheritance."

"Think twice..."

With Zhu Qiu's departure, Chen Yilu was the only one left in the reception room.

She stood up and turned her head to look into the depths of the house. Her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate any obstacles and see directly into the depths of the house. There was no wavering in her eyes.

"Is there only a few hours left for me..."

After saying this, she also stepped out of the living room and walked towards the depths of the house....

At this time, Zhu Qiu, who had failed to persuade him, had already walked out of the house.

Looking at the bustling street in front of him and then at the dilapidated house behind him, an extremely strange feeling arose in Zhu Qiu's heart.

Once upon a time, this place was prosperous.

But now, it has become so dilapidated.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiu subconsciously looked up at the top of the gate.

Above the gate, there is a plaque.

Inscribed on it were two large, vigorous characters filled with endless sword intent:

Gu Mansion.

Time is passing, everything in the world is changing,

Only the sword intent on this plaque has never changed.

Zhu Qiu just took a glance and immediately looked away.

The sword intent contained in these two words was so terrifying that just looking at them seemed to blind his eyes.

Just by looking at these two words, they can imagine how glorious the time was when the Gu family had an ascender.

But now...

Thinking of this, both of them sighed softly.

Even families that have produced ascenders still end up like this.

It is really sad....

Zhu Qiu shook his head, then put his hands behind his back and walked towards the other end of the street with a wry smile.
