Villain: After Truncating the Heroine, the Protagonist Collapses

3: Phoenix inheritanceYang Yucheng stopped his hand and looked back.

He saw an old man with a youthful complexion and a graceful young woman standing behind him.

The old man was, of course, Great Elder Bai Yuanqi, with his youthful complexion and vigorous spirit, showing no signs of being over seventy.

The young woman was Bai Yuanqi’s granddaughter, and one of the Heroines, Bai Yanyan.

She was indeed just as described in the book.

Her beauty was astounding, with fair skin and a lovely face, as captivating as a Heavenly Immortal who had stepped out of a painting.

Her high ponytail added a touch of fresh elegance to her beauty.

It even made Yang Yucheng stare blankly for a moment.

No wonder she could be a Heroine!

With beauty comparable to a model, those fair and tender long legs, and that well-proportioned figure... it was truly drool-worthy!

”Forgive my impropriety,” Yang Yucheng said with an awkward smile after his moment of awe, retracting his hand.

”Greetings, Grand Elder.”

Yang Yucheng first bowed to the Grand Elder.

Then, he looked at the beautiful Bai Yanyan, who was like a Heavenly Immortal, and cupped his hands again: ”This must be Junior Sister Bai, my regards.”

”I’ve heard about what happened. It is my fault for not disciplining my foolish younger brother, who caused trouble and greatly disturbed Miss Bai. Please forgive us!”

Yang Yucheng spoke politely, his words as gentle as a spring breeze, making Bai Yanyan’s beautiful eyes sparkle and her gaze waver.

Is this the Sect Master Martial Nephew?

How is he completely different from the rumored image of someone who fiercely protects his own?

After apologizing to Bai Yanyan, Yang Yucheng looked at the Grand Elder again, speaking with a pained expression: ”I assume you heard everything at the entrance just now.”

”Initially, I did intend to bring them together, but now that this has happened, I certainly will not mention it, and none of you are allowed to mention it either. He is not worthy of her!”

”Miss Bai is such a wonderful woman; I don’t want to see her unhappy!”

With that, Yang Yucheng looked forlorn and sighed heavily: ”It’s all because our parents died early; an Elder brother is like a father, but I failed to educate him properly. Alas...”

Hearing Yang Yucheng say this, and seeing the expression on his face,

the ripples in Bai Yanyan’s heart grew even stronger.

After this meeting,

she could clearly see that the Sect Master Martial Nephew was an upright, reasonable, and very understanding person!

Thinking of this, Bai Yanyan couldn’t help but secretly steal a couple more glances at Yang Yucheng.

For some reason, her heart was thumping like a deer!

Upon closer inspection now, this Sect Master Martial Nephew seemed quite handsome!

Unlike Bai Yanyan,

Bai Yuanqi had originally come to apologize, but then he saw Yang Yucheng actually scolding Yang Lei.

Besides being surprised, he even felt that Yang Yucheng was being a bit too harsh.

After all, it was Yang Lei whose Dantian was shattered... ”My granddaughter was ignorant; this is truly not Yang Lei’s fault.”

”Martial Nephew, you needn’t blame yourself, and you certainly shouldn’t punish him for this. Right now, he needs to rest and recover.”

The Grand Elder spoke repeatedly.

Although he didn’t know why Yang Yucheng was actively scolding his own brother this time, he was naturally willing to seize the opportunity for a peaceful resolution.

As for the matter of bringing them together that Yang Yucheng had mentioned earlier, the Grand Elder didn’t bring it up at all, pretending not to have heard it.

After all, let alone Yang Lei being a cripple,

even under normal circumstances, the Grand Elder would not have thought highly of this fellow who relied on his Elder brother to throw his weight around.

He should at least be as reasonable as the Sect Master Martial Nephew!

The Grand Elder subtly glanced at Yang Yucheng, feeling that he might have misjudged him in the past.

”Brother! Brother... I...”

”Pfft...”

Meanwhile, on the sickbed,

Yang Lei, who had just been beaten senseless, heard that he originally had a chance to marry Bai Yanyan by relying on his brother, but now, because of his own mischief, that possibility had been sentenced to death.

He immediately felt a surge of Qi and blood to his heart, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes rolled back, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted again!

Seeing this, the Grand Elder hurried forward to check on him.
