I am the fated vilain (AI-TL) - Chapter 2

Chapter 002: Transmigrated as the Fated Vilain.

Gu Changge gazed into space, lowering his eyes as he blew on the tea in his cup.

His white robes were as pure as snow, untainted by a single speck of dust.

His strikingly handsome features seemed shrouded in a veil of mist, his expression utterly indifferent.

Yet upon closer inspection, it became clear that was merely an air of apathy toward everything around him.

He stood atop a lofty position, overlooking all beneath him.

It was impossible to fathom his thoughts.

It seemed as though nothing happening in the entire grand hall held any interest for him.

He existed as if separated from the world.

Well, that was what everyone thought at that moment.

Anyone could sense that this man in white possessed an extraordinary status.

Both his aura and mannerisms exuded a sense of being utterly detached from worldly affairs.

He was no ordinary mortal!

Of course, none of them realized that Gu Changge’s so-called indifference was actually nothing but sheer confusion…

He wasn’t unconcerned about what was happening in the hall.

Rather, he was currently overwhelmed by the merging of memories.

He was a transmigrant.

One moment he was sleeping, and the next, upon opening his eyes, he found himself in this extremely dangerous fantasy world.

Here, the strong could pluck stars from the sky and move mountains as if they were nothing, flying through the heavens at will, while the weak were trampled underfoot, their lives worth less than grass—without any respect or dignity.

He was a legitimate disciple sent from the Immortal Great Sect of the upper realm to undergo trials.

With unparalleled talent and an awe-inspiring background.

Yet, based on Gu Changge’s experience from having read countless online novels in his past life, he felt like he had become nothing more than a sidekick for the villain—or perhaps a mere cannon fodder who wouldn’t survive even a few chapters.

This outcome made Gu Changge feel quite annoyed.

Looking at what was happening around him now, tsk tsk tsk—upon arriving here, he immediately encountered a fate-bringer about to be humiliated.

A name like Ye Chen sounded exactly like the standard choice for a protagonist.

As for someone with a name like Gu Changge? It was obvious this was a foolish author’s creation meant to serve as a villainous sidekick to boost drama.

With such high status, wouldn’t it be better if he were the one to humiliate the protagonist?

“Gu Changge…”

“Gu Changge…”

By now, Ye Chen had called out Gu Changge several times in a row, yet there was still no response from him.

He didn’t even bother to glance over.

This utter disregard and lack of respect only fueled Ye Chen’s anger further, his fists clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.

“How dare you! How can you even speak the prince’s name?”

At that moment, a loud shout came from beside them, filled with coldness, fury, and an overwhelming pressure.

The speaker was Chu Xuan, the newly appointed Holy Son of the Tai Xuan Sacred Land.

With a grim expression, he strode forward, runes glowing in his palms and divine light surging around him, ready to teach Ye Chen a proper lesson.

This was exactly the moment for him to show off.

If not for Gu Changge’s praise that he was quite good,

he wouldn’t have easily surpassed the other direct disciples to become the new Holy Son of Tai Xuan.

Thus, he owed Gu Changge an immense debt of gratitude.

After all, unlike Su Qingge, who had a Holy Lord father and was designated as the Holy Maiden from birth,

“Dare you! Ye Chen, by repeatedly provoking the sect in front of all these guests today, your intentions are clearly sinister…”

“Someone, throw him into the dungeon immediately and await further punishment.”

At that moment, another elder stepped forward and shouted loudly.

They would not miss such an opportunity to curry favor with Gu Changge.

“Indeed! The Holy Lord might as well take this chance to revoke Ye Chen’s cultivation status and expel him from the sect.”

“Perfect—this way, I can make amends for Lord Gu’s sake.”

Seeing this, the other elders also stepped forward, speaking out in righteous tones and loudly rebuking Ye Chen for his disrespect and insult.

All the guests from major factions present were somewhat shocked.

What exactly was the identity of this mysterious man in white?

Ye Chen’s face instantly turned pale as well.

He realized the situation was turning against him.

Everyone was trying to please Gu Changge.

Even Su Qingge remained silent.

Why?

This was completely different from what he had expected.

At that moment, a cool sensation suddenly spread from his fingertips.

Ye Chen’s restless mood quickly settled down.

Gu Changge sat at the head of the table, took a sip of tea, and his gaze grew intrigued.

Great—without even saying a word, this so-called fate-blessed boy named Ye Chen had already fallen into such a state?

Still, it was quite unfair to him as a fate-blessed one.

Gu Changge’s gaze then shifted, landing on the ring in Ye Chen’s hand.

Tsk tsk tsk.

That old-fashioned “grandpa standard” from years ago—sure enough, the Chosen One really can’t escape his fate.

“Gu Changge, besides bullying others with your power, what else are you good at?”

Ye Chen spoke again, staring at Gu Changge with furious intensity.

It was as if all of this had been brought upon him by that man.

If not for him, how would Su Qingge have been personally sent over by the Supreme Saint of Tai Xuan?

At that thought, Ye Chen felt a surge of rage building inside him—he longed to tear Gu Changge to pieces.

Who knows what could happen in just one night?

Though he had once shared hardships with Su Qingge,

he had always maintained a distance from her, never daring to get too close.

He hadn’t even touched her dress!

Gu Changge remained calm, staring down at his tea with an expression unchanged, showing no signs of joy or anger.

But deep down, he found it somewhat amusing.

It’s none of my business.

In the original protagonist’s memories, he had never even known about such a minor figure as Ye Chen before this.

As for the Supreme Saint of Tai Xuan personally handing over his daughter to him—

It wasn’t even something he asked for himself.

Climbing on the backs of others and fawning for favor.

Isn’t that pretty normal in every world?

Especially in a ruthless fantasy realm where the strong devour the weak.

It’s only because his own background is terrifying.

This Ye Chen might not have any real skills, but he’s really good at slinging accusations.
