Im Not Your Usual Villain - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Draw Your Sword!

Translation by: Weebsread👹

Everything had fallen into place.

Su He had successfully driven a wedge between Feng Taicang and Lin Feng.

A flicker of satisfaction glimmered in Su He’s eyes.

His bloodline endowed him with a peculiar intuition—a sense that Lin Feng’s fortune had waned. The proof was simple: when Su He once again harbored hostile intent toward Lin Feng, the warning from his bloodline was far weaker than before.

There could be only one explanation: his scheme to strip Lin Feng of his destiny was working.

With this certainty, Su He wasted no time. His gaze turned icy as he looked to Xu Qing.

“Will you do it yourself, or shall I have someone else do it for you?”

...

...

“No...”

Xu Qing shook her head frantically, terror twisting her features as she stared at Su He. “Master, you can’t do this to me! Have you forgotten how much you cherished me? When I was little and fell ill, you stayed at my bedside for seven days and nights without rest, caring for me yourself...”

Hearing Xu Qing’s sudden change in tone—calling him “Master” once more—Su He only found it laughable. “Don’t call me that. I am no longer your master.”

“You know exactly how much I once trusted and cherished you. And how did you repay me? After all the years I raised you, you’re willing to cut all ties with me for the sake of a stray man you’ve known for only a few days.”

“Fine. The sect is better off without a traitor like you. For me, and for the Tai Xuan Holy Land, it’s a blessing. From now on, take your troubles to the Jade Void Immortal Sect.”

Xu Qing’s face turned deathly pale—her expression more wretched than ever.

Confronted with Su He’s merciless condemnation, Xu Qing could no longer utter a word in her defense.

Feng Taicang, too, looked uneasy at Su He’s words. The old man’s eyes flickered with disbelief as he glanced at Xu Qing.

He hadn’t expected Xu Qing to be so utterly shameless. To call her ungrateful was an understatement—her betrayal defied words.

And when Su He made no effort to conceal his intent to send this traitorous disciple to the Jade Void Immortal Sect, Feng Taicang’s mouth twitched in protest.

He had no desire to take in such a treacherous wolf. Besides, once her Supreme Bone was stripped away, Xu Qing would be nothing more than an ordinary woman with mediocre talent. What qualifications would she have to join the Jade Void Immortal Sect?

“Since you refuse to do it yourself,” Su He said coolly, “Yixin, you will handle this as her senior sister.”

“Yes, Master.”

A cold, crystalline voice rang out.

All eyes turned as a breathtakingly beautiful woman, exuding an aura of icy indifference, stepped forward from behind Su He.

Her features were flawless, her eyes as clear as a mountain spring, her slender form unmarred by the slightest imperfection. By any measure, she was even more beautiful than Xu Qing. Yet her presence was so cold, so chilling and ruthless, that no one dared meet her gaze. Within the sect, few remembered her beauty—only her power and mercilessness.

This was Fang Yixin, Su He’s senior disciple. In the original novel, she was the only one truly loyal to Su He—so loyal, in fact, that she ultimately sacrificed her life for him, dying by the protagonist Lin Feng’s hand.

Despite being the Sect Master of the Tai Xuan Holy Land, Su He had been a rather inept villain in the original story. Most of his disciples were loyal only to his strength, not to him personally. When his conflict with Lin Feng reached its peak, Su He was swiftly abandoned by all but one—Fang Yixin, his most steadfast disciple.

Yet, in the novel, Su He had never cherished this loyalty. Instead, he poured all his affection into Xu Qing, the ungrateful traitor, and even in the end, showed mercy to her while never sparing Fang Yixin a second glance.

But Su He would not repeat the mistakes of his predecessor. To ignore a loyal disciple in favor of a treacherous wolf would be the height of folly.

Watching his senior disciple step forward, Su He fell silent for a moment. Then, he spoke:

“Yixin, from this day forth, the Supreme Bone will be yours to inherit.”

The words struck like thunder.

The hall erupted in shock.

Even Fang Yixin, who always seemed unflappable, trembled. For the first time, a look of disbelief rippled through those tranquil eyes.

No one had expected this. Su He had suddenly declared that Fang Yixin would inherit the Supreme Bone.

Not even Fang Yixin herself had seen it coming.

She had long known that her master barely valued her—certainly not a fraction as much as he doted on her junior sister, Xu Qing.

She had assumed that, after the Supreme Bone was taken, Su He would lock it away in the sect’s treasury, or perhaps bestow it upon some other favored disciple.

But never, not in her wildest dreams, had she expected Su He would grant it to her.

Could it be… Master was finally beginning to value her?

Fang Yixin’s heart quivered, a deep, moving warmth welling up in her eyes. Her slender fingers gripped her sword tighter, her gaze filling with unwavering resolve.

Her master had shown her true trust—she would never, in this life or the next, betray any of his commands.

She would lay down her life to vanquish all her master’s enemies!

“No! Why should my Supreme Bone go to her? I refuse!”

Xu Qing’s face twisted in unprecedented fury as she screamed in protest.

She had always harbored a deep-seated resentment toward her powerful senior sister. Fang Yixin was more beautiful, stronger, and in the eyes of the entire sect, superior in every way.

Yet, despite all that, Su He had always favored her, Xu Qing. That favoritism had once filled her with a sense of superiority whenever she stood before Fang Yixin—

So what if you’re better than me? Master never even spared you a glance—he poured all his affection on me! That alone proves you’re not even worthy of comparison.

But now, seeing Su He actually bestow the Supreme Bone upon Fang Yixin—

Xu Qing finally panicked.

At last, she realized that Su He’s favor for her had completely vanished.

Worse still, it had shifted to the senior sister she’d always resented.

With the Supreme Bone, she’d never been able to surpass Fang Yixin. Once it was transferred to her, Xu Qing would be even less qualified to stand beside her rival.

No. She couldn’t accept this—not now, not ever.

But in the next instant, an icy, bone-chilling aura swept over Xu Qing.

She squeezed her eyes shut in fright.

When she dared to open them again, she saw Fang Yixin’s cold, crystalline eyes fixed on her—eyes that looked at her as if she were already dead.

There was no mercy in Fang Yixin’s gaze, only the lethal resolve of someone facing a mortal enemy.

It was the look of one who would not rest until her foe was utterly destroyed.

Given Fang Yixin’s unwavering loyalty to Su He, how could she not feel murderous rage toward a traitor like Xu Qing?

Now, with Su He’s promise still ringing in her ears, Fang Yixin’s hatred for Xu Qing reached its peak.

Her killing intent had never burned so fiercely—not in this life.

Without hesitation, she stepped forward.

And drew her sword.

Faced with that terrifying, merciless glare, Xu Qing—who had never faced true peril before—completely broke down. Her face went white with terror as she shrieked, “No, no, no—don’t come any closer!”
