Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 429 The Remains of Bai Song's Mother

As for the others, they are not really relevant.

After Xu Yao finished setting up the magic array, he led Han Xi and the others back to Hanshan Sword Sect.

Upon returning to the Hanshan Sword Sect, Han Xi instructed Xu Yao to hand over the white pine tree and the remains of its mother.

It should be handled by him, the sect leader.

Xu Yao was, after all, an outsider, and this was a family matter of the Hanshan Sword Sect, so naturally Xu Yao couldn't say much.

Xu Yao and Han Yi then returned to their respective rooms.

Since there was nothing else to do, the two of them went to rest early.

The next morning, Xu Yao had just gotten up and was about to have breakfast.

As a result, they heard what sounded like a commotion and fighting not far away.

Xu Yao was curious. He was still here, so who dared to cause trouble at the Hanshan Sword Sect?

Isn't this strange? To be honest, it's not that Xu Yao said anything, but that Xu Yao also felt it was strange.

This matter is not simple; therefore, we must find out the truth about it.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao didn't hesitate and went with Han Yi to see what had happened.

When the two arrived outside the main hall of Hanshan Sword Sect, Bai Song, in a fit of emotion, angrily addressed his fellow disciples, saying, "Those are my mother's remains."

"What are you doing? Give me back my mother's remains!"

After saying that, Bai Song actually drew his weapon and started fighting with his fellow disciples.

Seeing this, Xu Yao immediately took action and stopped the agitated Bai Song.

Then, Xu Yao said to Bai Song, "Bai Song, what are you doing?"

"Why did you attack your fellow disciples? I think you don't want to live anymore."

Bai Song also said excitedly, "My mother's remains have disappeared. It's so pitiful that she didn't get to enjoy the blessings that her son, me, gave her in her old age."

“Now that there are no remains, how can I not be agitated?” Bai Song said.

Seeing Bai Song so excited, Xu Yao didn't know what to say, since Bai Song's excitement seemed to have a reason.

At this moment, the Korean team also rushed over. After seeing the scene and finding out the reason, they...

Han Xi waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, now that things have come to this."

"All disciples of Hanshan Sword Sect, listen to my command: no one may leave the mountain without my order or any doubt."

"We can only leave the mountain after we have thoroughly investigated the matter of Bai Song's mother's remains."

"Yes!" The disciples also accepted the order.

Xu Yao originally planned to leave Hanshan Sword Sect with Han Yi today and return to the Assassin Pavilion, but things have turned out this way.

Xu Yao himself was at a loss for words. After all, if he left now, wouldn't people say that he had taken away Bai Song's mother's remains?

Actually, there's nothing wrong with this matter itself, but that's the problem. No matter what, things have happened anyway.

So what other options are there? In any case, Xu Yao has to stay, otherwise things will be completely ruined.

As a result, the Korean investigation yielded no results after two consecutive days, and Xu Yao and Han Yi were eager to leave.

So in the end, having no other choice, the two of them also went to see the Korean group.

Upon seeing Han Xi, Xu Yao said directly, "Sect Leader Han Xi, Han Yi and I have come to say goodbye."

"We have other things to take care of, so we can't stay any longer."

Han Xi also stood up and said, "Brother Xu Yao, Brother Han Yi, I know this matter is somewhat difficult for you."

"But as you both saw this time, the remains of Bai Song's mother simply disappeared."

"I also know Bai Song's mother. As an old friend, I've been investigating for two days, but I still haven't figured it out."

"I'm at my wit's end, which is why I'm hoping to ask for help from Brother Xu Yao and Brother Han Yi."

"Please help my Hanshan Sword Sect investigate this matter. Of course, you can rest assured that my Han Sect is not ignorant of human relationships."

"I entrust this matter to you two, and I will repay you both. Although my Hanshan Sword Sect dares not say that it is very wealthy, it will certainly not let you down."

"What do you two think?" Han Xi asked.

This put Xu Yao in a difficult position.

Because this matter is actually completely unrelated to the two of them.

It wasn't that Xu Yao said anything, but rather that for Xu Yao, Bai Song's affairs were not as important as his own.

If he continues to interfere in this matter, it might cause Xu Yao to delay his own important business.

So Xu Yao was also planning to refuse, but just as Xu Yao was about to refuse, the system's beautiful voice rang out in Xu Yao's mind again.

"Ding dong!"

"The system has issued a temporary task: Find the remains of Bai Song's mother. Successful completion of the task will reward Xu Yao with a demon-slaying sword."

"Mission failed, and one item will be deducted from the host."

"I'll f*** your system!" Xu Yao thought to himself, wishing a million alpacas would just walk by.

Xu Yao never quite understood why other people's systems were designed to provide their hosts with a life of luxury, allowing them to cultivate to the highest level.

If you want treasures, you'll find ancient divine weapons; if you want money, you'll find money; if you want people, you'll find people.

Not to mention my own system crashing at a critical moment, I'm so busy right now, with important things to do.

As a result, the system will give you a temporary task, and if you fail to complete it, one of your treasures will be deducted from your inventory.

Do you think this system is asking for trouble?

But there was nothing he could do; Xu Yao had been bound to this system since he transmigrated, if only he could change it.

Xu Yao really wants to change partners.

Just then, Xu Yao nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take care of this."

"I will do my best to help investigate this matter thoroughly," Xu Yao said.

Han Yi was somewhat surprised to see Xu Yao agree, because Xu Yao hadn't said that when they arrived.

But now Xu Yao has changed his tune. What's going on?

Although Han Yi wasn't entirely sure, since Xu Yao had agreed, he had nothing more to say.

At this moment, the Korean representative excitedly said, "In that case, thank you very much, Brother Xu Yao."

After saying that, Han Xi had essentially entrusted the matter to Xu Yao.

Xu Yao then took Han Yi back to the side room to discuss the matter.

Back in the room, Han Yi said to Xu Yao, "Xu Yao, why did you agree to this Han faction's request?"

"Didn't we just agree that we'd leave directly? Why is this happening now?"
