So this is a villain novel world!

Hearing the bystanders' whispers, Mo Yunxuan suddenly realized that his memories did indeed mention the Imperial Guard Recognition Trial.

It was less of a trial by the Imperial Guard and more of a Wei State Duke Mansion Heir Assessment. However, at the completion of the assessment, the Imperial Guard would swear loyalty, which led to external rumors calling it the Imperial Guard Recognition Trial.

There were generally two criteria for passing the Heir Assessment:

First, the heir's strength must reach the Spirit Transmutation Realm. After all, they were a Martial Merit Noble Family, and strength was the most basic requirement.

Second, the heir must gain the approval of the current Wei State Duke. This approval was rather broad.

If the current Wei State Duke was strict, the heir would be quite unlucky, starting the assessment from the Nascent Soul Realm and possibly failing for hundreds of years.

But if the current Wei State Duke was lenient and optimistic about the next generation, then generally, as long as the heir's cultivation reached the Spirit Transmutation Realm, the assessment could be completed.

However, Mo Yunxuan had never undergone the aforementioned assessment. When he first transmigrated, Wang Yuan had brought him the news of his previous incarnation's father's death and, without even giving him time to see the body, directly arranged the loyalty oath ceremony for the entire Imperial Guard.

Speaking of which, he was essentially sacrificing his father to the heavens. Not undergoing the Heir Assessment and directly receiving the loyalty of the Imperial Guard shouldn't be too much to ask, right?

Besides, he was the only one left in the main lineage of the entire Wei State Duke Mansion. If not him, who would they be loyal to?

As the convoy passed by the Anle Marquis Manor, a group of people blocked the manor's entrance and walls, craning their necks to look inside.

They completely blocked the street, preventing the Elite Vanguard in front from pushing through the obstructing pedestrians.

Just as Wang Yuan was preparing to turn and take another route, a commotion erupted from the crowd.

"Exactly! Just as the Anle Marquis said, if you don't like it, you can directly refuse!"

"Right! Not refusing, but still accepting gifts, isn't that being a hypocrite!"

"Talk about wanting it both ways!"

"I never expected Li Qinghan, such a cold and aloof fairy, to actually be a vain person behind closed doors."

Hearing this, Mo Yunxuan suddenly smelled a juicy gossip and quickly said, "Uncle Wang, pull the carriage over first and let's see what's happening."

Wang Yuan looked at the excited Mo Yunxuan, his mouth twitched. He immediately knew what he was thinking.

It seems the Master is still not mature enough! Wang Yuan sighed.

But he still specially stopped the carriage by the wall of the Anle Marquis Manor.

Mo Yunxuan said with satisfaction, "Uncle Wang truly understands me!"

"Master, as long as you are happy."

Wang Yuan didn't expect Mo Yunxuan to have such a mischievous side. Had he let himself go after the Old Duke's death?

Mo Yunxuan didn't know Wang Yuan's thoughts. He zipped up onto the carriage roof and channeled spiritual energy to his eyes, clearly seeing the drama unfolding within the Anle Marquis Manor.

He saw a handsome and dashing man staring coldly at a woman in a light blue dress, his eyes filled with disdain and anger.

From his memories, Mo Yunxuan quickly found the corresponding character information.

The man, slightly inferior to himself, was the current Anle Marquis, Jun Tianxiao, an only child like himself.

And the cold woman being stared at was the daughter of the current Censor, Li Xian, Li Qinghan.

But soon, a strange thought appeared in Mo Yunxuan's mind: Something's not right! Isn't Jun Tianxiao a lapdog to Li Qinghan? The kind who can't be driven away no matter what? Why is he so tough now?

And this demand for past gifts, why does it reek of a villain who just transmigrated? Will there be a Child of Destiny around too?

Thinking this, Mo Yunxuan scanned the Anle Marquis Manor.

As expected, in a corner, he saw a man who looked unremarkable but had an unyielding expression, quietly watching the scene.

Mo Yunxuan couldn't help but complain in his heart:

This must be the Child of Destiny, right? Tsk tsk, that expression is spot on!

But are the people in the Anle Marquis Manor blind?

Can't find it by searching the book title? You can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed the name!

No one noticed such an obvious outsider standing there?

It's truly outrageous that no one drove him away!

If this were in my Duke Mansion, it would be at least the abolishment of cultivation, or at worst, immediate execution and the extermination of three generations of their clan.

Before Mo Yunxuan could think further, Jun Tianxiao spoke coldly:

"Since Miss Li wishes to break off the engagement, then let's break it off completely. Return everything I gave you before!"

"I believe Miss Li wouldn't disregard her reputation just to embezzle a little something!"

Looking at Jun Tianxiao, who was "acting the part," Mo Yunxuan rolled his eyes.

[As expected, listening to this tone, he's completely different from before! Definitely a transmigrator!]

Hearing Jun Tianxiao's words and feeling his different attitude, Li Qinghan was stunned for a moment.

This momentary pause seemed to give Jun Tianxiao an opening, and he loudly mocked:

"No way? No way? The great Miss Li, one of the Four Great Beauties of the Imperial City, would actually be a deadbeat for a few cultivation resources?"

[I remember Li Qinghan's background isn't bad, her family has been officials for generations. Although what Jun Tianxiao gave before was a lot, it definitely wasn't enough to make the Li family covet it. Is this transmigrator an idiot?]

[This is clearly different from a typical villain novel. They haven't even figured out the background and are already resorting to template-based mockery. You're the Marquis of Anle, aren't you afraid of the Censor Li Xian reporting you?]

At this moment, Li Qinghan, who had been somewhat dazed, snapped back to reality. She never imagined that she had come alone and discreetly.

She just wanted to have a good talk with Marquis Jun Tianxiao of Anle and then publicly announce the peaceful dissolution of their engagement, so that both families could save face.

But she didn't expect that after only a few words, Jun Tianxiao would start shouting like a mad dog.

Not only did he attract all the servants in the manor, but even the pedestrians outside the manor could hear his words clearly.

It was utterly outrageous!

Li Qinghan looked at the arrogant Jun Tianxiao with disgust, and said hatefully:

"I will return those resources to the Anle Marquis Manor, along with the marriage contract, exactly as they were!"

Seeing that the situation was not developing as she had planned, Li Qinghan showed no signs of panic.

Jun Tianxiao frowned, not understanding where things had gone wrong.

But there was no turning back now. He raised a hand, pointed directly at Li Qinghan, and shouted:

"Good! I will wait for you at the Marquis Manor to send all those things over. If anything is missing or short, don't blame me for accusing you of cheating for Betrothal Gifts!"

[666, this Jun Tianxiao hasn't realized it yet? Li Qinghan's reaction is clearly different from other Green Tea characters!]

Seeing Jun Tianxiao's continued arrogant demeanor, Mo Yunxuan almost burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, the Protagonist, seeing Jun Tianxiao's gesture, stepped forward and jumped between Jun Tianxiao and Li Qinghan. His robes fluttered in the wind, striking a very dashing pose.

Then, he spun around, his eyes fixed on Jun Tianxiao, and shouted, "Stop! What kind of skill is it to bully a woman!"

These inexplicable words not only confused Mo Yunxuan, who was watching the show, but also brought a hint of bewilderment to Jun Tianxiao's face.

Looking at Jun Tianxiao's expression, Mo Yunxuan guessed he must be thinking: Who am I? Where am I? When did I bully Li Qinghan?

Not only that, but even Li Qinghan's gaze towards the Protagonist was filled with strangeness. However, thinking that he was here to help her, she could only say:

"Lin Fan, this is my business, you shouldn't get involved!"

"It's okay, Qinghan, your business is my business. Don't worry, I'll help you resolve it."

Seeing the exchange between Lin Fan and Li Qinghan, Jun Tianxiao interjected again:

"As expected! You are a fickle woman. No wonder you hesitated when I mentioned returning the resources earlier."

"Speak! Were the resources I gave you before all given to this Wild Man!"

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!
