I've Led The Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?

Chapter 11

Lightly touching the wrist of his right hand, Xu ZiRong's face turned unreadable. Once upon a time, a really obvious scar was located there. Even after he became a Nascent Soul cultivator and became capable of changing his body, he did not erase that scar.

That scar was the result of the time where he had fallen down the cliff and almost fell to his death, and the scar was something he had carved onto himself as he struggled madly on a sharp stone. It was also at that time where he completely cut off the last tie that connected him to Xu family. That scar was used to remind him, to not forget all the shame and suffering Xu family gave him!

"Father," holding Xu ZiRong's hand, Xu ZiYan slowly walked into the dining room.

The dining room was very spacious. What was placed in the middle of the room was a table that was sufficient enough to sit more than a dozen people.

Xu Xiao sat in the seat of honor, and to his right was an empty chair.

Xu ZiYan knew that the empty chair was especially prepared for him. You could tell from this chair that in the Xu family, his position was merely second after Xu Xiao's.

Of course, this chair assigned to Xu ZiYan didn't mean he had any real power. It was rather completely a status. He was able to sit on that chair not because he made a lot of contributions to the Xu family, but because of Xu family's future expectations of him.

A cultivating family like the Xu family, in order to reach its own interests, would give all of their resources to the talented disciples in the family. This had nothing to do with being fair or not fair, because if Xu ZiYan was in charge of such a family, he would have done this as well.

From the point of view of the current Xu family, with Xu ZiYan's Lightning Heavenly Spiritual Vein, becoming a Core Formation cultivator was practically certain as long as he wasn't too stupid.

And for Xu family, adding another Core Formation cultivator to their middling family had an unimaginable effect.

Any huge aristocratic family needed patrons and talents to be able to develop over time. In the past the Xu family grew just like this, and Xu ZiYan, in the eyes of Xu family, would be their most dependable supporter in the future.

After all, in this world, the relationship between family and the relationship between a master and disciple were the most reliable connections one could have. As long as they didn't go crazy, the cultivators from a cultivation family were usually more caring to the families they came from.

The Xu ZiYan who was currently enjoying this kind of treatment from his family would naturally have to bear the corresponding obligations. But although he did not volunteer to enter this body, he also didn't wish to escape.

This was because there was no one in the Xu family who treated him badly, so he obviously didn't bear anyone any hate.

In his memories, although there were a lot of people from the Xu family who had bullied Xu ZiRong, ultimately the one who did the most was Xu ZiYan. Other people would not be bored to the point of bullying a small child.

As for the select others, they were only trying to please the higher ups above them. It could be said that in the whole Xu family, Xu ZiYan was the only one who had such malicious loathing for Xu ZiRong.

In the blink of an eye, Xu ZiYan had already understood his own position. This time, a lot of things did not happen. Since Xu ZiRong didn't suffer any torment, he could totally live happily with Xu ZiYan in the Xu family. Taking this route would be much safer than becoming a blood devil. In the very least, if the situation with the blood-sucking bugs really happened, Xu ZiRong wouldn't be the one to carry such a big and black pot.1
