《Life of a Villain》Chapter 6: Plot Changed?
Advertisement
As Andy walked towards the meeting hall, his heartbeat sped up for an unknown reason.
From Lu An's memories, his father never spoke to him. Today was the first time he had called him.
Every eye in the room turned to Andy as he walked into the meeting room. As he glanced around, he saw many known faces sitting in the meeting room. Most of them are the elders of the family who take the key decisions in the family.
Even Lu An's elder brother was in the meeting room. His elder brother was named Lu Yuan, and he was a cultivation genius of his generation. In fact, he was a core disciple of the Eternal Palace Sect.
Andy's gaze shifted to a good-looking silver-haired man seated in the middle of the room. The man was in his thirties, wearing a red-colored robe with a sword draped around his waist.
It was his father, Lu Yong. He was said to be one of the strongest men in the Blue Lord Empire.
A chubby man in his fifties was sitting beside Lu Yong and from Lu An's memory, this man was the patriarch of the Shi clan.
Looking around the room, Andy saw that there was no empty seat for him. Nevertheless, some of the Lu Clan members looked disgusted.
Andy didn't mind, as it was always the case. No one in the family cared for Lu An.
He then looked towards his father, who was discussing something with the Patriarch of the Shi clan.
After a while, his father turned to him and said.
"I have canceled your engagement to Shi Yi. She will marry your elder brother."
The sudden declaration shocked Andy. No, he was not in love with Shi Yi, heck he didn't even know her, but there was a change in the plot.

According to the novel, Fang Yan killed Lu An because he was engaged to Shi Yi. Now, they have canceled their engagement. So Fang Yan won't have any enmity towards him now?
Nonetheless, according to the novel, Fang Yan killed the entire Lu family.
A sigh of disappointment escaped Andy's lips. In one way or another, the death of Lu An was connected to that of Fang Yan.
Seeing Lu An's sigh, everyone misunderstood him. They thought he was distraught over the news of the engagement. There were even a few who looked at him mockingly.
"You have to realize that you and she are from different worlds. She is a talented cultivator, and you..." Lu Yong paused midway as he stared at Lu An thoughtfully.
After looking at Lu Yong for a minute, Andy turned around to leave the room.
"You can claim your compensation at the Treasury," Andy stopped for a moment when he heard Lu Yong's voice before he left the room.
Despite not caring about the engagement being called off, Andy felt a little ache in his heart because of the memories of being merged with Lu An.
Lu An had a slight affection for Shi Yi, even though she didn't like him. Their engagement was arranged before Lu An turned five. Since he was young, he was told that she would be his future wife.
"It's okay buddy, we'll be fine," Andy muttered to himself as he left the room.
As he walked out of the meeting room, he closed his eyes for a bit. He sighed and strode to the Treasury after contemplating for a while.
Even though he will need time to come to terms with the fact that Lu An is him. Now that he has the chance to get more money from the family, why not grab it and leave?

After a while, on his way out of the Treasury, Andy had a faint smile on his face. Another pair of large pouches were strapped to him around his waist.
"Money is always good," he muttered as he walked towards his carriage.
Although the plot changed, the fact that he was powerless remained the same. In a world that values the stronger fist, why not seize the opportunity and become powerful in this world?
When he inherits the legacy of that supreme saint, he will be killing two birds with one stone.
In the first place, he will become a cultivator.
Secondly, by inheriting the Legacy, the Lu clan will be spared the disaster caused by Fang Yan.
Andy walked for a while before he spotted a carriage bearing the flag of the Lu clan. Based on memory, this was his carriage. Andy could also see the coachman feeding the horse.
This coachman was also dressed in yellow, like any other servant.
When the coachman spotted Lu An approaching the carriage, he immediately greeted him.
"Young Master"
"Let's go to the Phoenix pavilion," he said as he boarded the carriage.
As he sat in the carriage, he recalled the details of the Phoenix Pavillion.
Phoenix Pavilion was a merchant group, with branches all over the world. It was a family business of the Feng clan from the Phoenix continent.
They were one of the most powerful families in the world.
It was even mentioned in the book that the ancestor was one of the important characters of the middle world.
In the book, Fang Yan even seduced the young mistress of the Feng Family and became the son-in-law of their clan.
Andy sighed as he thought of Fang Yan. Fang Yan was not just a playboy. He also seduced many girls from powerful families and became their son-in-law, which helped him very much.
The sudden jerk made him lose his thoughts. As he glanced out of the window of the carriage, he noticed that it was parked in front of an enormous building.
Even though it was just a branch, the structure of the building was marvelous. Moreover, the crowd was thriving.
As he got out of the carriage, people had a fearful look on their faces.
Rumors of him being a sex maniac began out of nowhere. As opposed to the maniac, Lu An usually spent his time at the Pleasure Palace, where girls sold their bodies. He never forced anyone to have sex with him.
As Andy entered the building, with a fan in hand, he looked every bit like the arrogant son of a rich family.
Upon entering the building, a beautiful sales girl greeted him politely.
"Welcome, Young Master Lu, how may I help you?"
Her eyes briefly met Andy's before he spoke.
"I need transport for the Green Heaven Empire,"
