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

Chapter 149 Qinghe Village

"Oh dear, young masters, please don't blame me for not recognizing you! You've all changed so much. You're all as strong as bears and have become so mature. Even if you had a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to recognize you."

"Now that you two are back, I think the master and madam will be very happy."

As he spoke, Wang Ergou glanced at Xu Yao and asked, "Young masters, is this your friend who accompanied you down the mountain?"

“Oh,” Du Cheng waved his hand, “just a lackey, nothing to worry about.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ergou glanced at Xu Yao and smiled meaningfully.

"You two young masters have really made something of themselves! You must be doing quite well, right?"

Du Cheng patted his chest. "Of course."

At that moment, Xu Yao also gave Du Cheng a meaningful smile.

Du Cheng smiled and quickly put his arm around Xu Yao's shoulder.

Xu Yao whispered in Du Cheng's ear, "Who are you calling your lackey? Huh? Believe me or not, I'll give you a few punches right now."

"No, no, my dear brother, please bear with me for a little while. You'll be eating and sleeping at our house from now on. Besides, I'm only doing this to put my parents' minds at ease. Please do me a small favor, I beg you."

Xu Yao nodded helplessly, though he didn't really care about a form of address.

Du Cheng and Du Gong's parents rushed out, laughing happily. Du Cheng's father at least had some manners.

As for Du Cheng's mother, she looked around at Du Cheng and Du Gong's bodies.

"Okay, seeing that you two are both healthy, I can rest assured as your mother."

“My son has really made something of himself; he even brought a follower back with him.”

"Let's not talk about that for now. Have you all completely descended the mountain, or what?"

Du Cheng and Du Gong exchanged a glance and scratched their heads sheepishly.

"Well, we're not exactly experts yet. We're here mainly to investigate something."

Upon hearing this, deep worry appeared on the faces of Du Cheng's parents.

"Don't worry, Father and Mother, we are very strong now, and it's just an investigation mission, there won't be any problems."

Du Cheng's parents breathed a sigh of relief, but their brows were full of worry.

"Alright, you've come all this way. Go see Xiaomei. All these years, she hasn't changed her heart for a single moment."

Immediately, Du Cheng and Du Gong took Xu Yao to the neighbor's house.

It has to be said that the neighbor's house is much larger; judging by this, they are probably not the richest people in Qinghe Village.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Xu Yao exclaimed, "You two brothers are really something, knowing how to win the hearts of rich women at such a young age."

Upon arriving at the Zhang family's gate, the six guards outside looked at the three with suspicion.

Before they could ask any questions, Du Cheng and Du Gong spoke up directly.

"Old Hu San, Old Lin Liu, Zhang Erhe, and Sister Zhu Ba!"

Upon hearing these nicknames, the six people were all taken aback.

"You, you wouldn't happen to be Du Cheng and Du Gong from next door, would you? You came down from the Qingyun Sect?"

Du Cheng and Du Gong looked smug. "That's right."

At this moment, one of the guards muttered, "I remember now, they were those two shameless little rascals who used to sneak over the wall to meet young ladies in the middle of the night when we were kids!"

"That's right, it was those two. They even put a spider in my shoe!"

Immediately, the six guards erupted in a commotion. Stories about Du Cheng and Du Gong's embarrassing mishaps spread like wildfire.

Xu Yao was overjoyed to hear this.

"Okay, okay, stop talking. How about I treat you to dinner another day?"

"Exactly, these are all things from when we were kids, so let's not bring them up again."

The six guards watched the two young men in front of them with amusement.

"They still have the nerve to call us by our nicknames now, and they won't let us bring up the past."

"You two are really something. Wait here, I'll go find you a young lady right now."

After he finished speaking, a guard went in to inform them.

A short while later, a woman came running towards them.

This person is Zhang Xiaomei, the older sister next door whom Du Cheng and Du Gong have been longing for.

Upon seeing this woman, Xu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly.

It must be said that she has a perfect figure, a delicate face, and her clothes fit her perfectly. While maintaining the demeanor of a well-bred lady, she also exudes a touch of playfulness and cuteness.

"Xiao Cheng, Xiao Gong, it's been a long time!"

Du Cheng and Du Gong waved to Zhang Xiaomei with smiles.

Zhang Xiaomei, who had come up behind the two, glanced at Xu Yao and asked, "And who is this?"

"Him? He's our sidekick."

“That’s right, Master instructed us to go down the mountain to give him some experience.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaomei nodded and immediately pulled Du Gong into her arms.

In an instant, Du Gong's body became as stiff as a wooden doll.

Du Gong blushed deeply because he could clearly sense the physical changes in the mature girl.

Meanwhile, Du Cheng, standing to the side, looked on with envy, jealousy, and hatred, biting his fingers hard.

Du Gong spoke tremblingly, "Um, Xiaomei, we're too close, too close."

Zhang Xiaomei then realized her lapse in composure and quickly took a step back, distancing herself from Du Gong.

"I'm sorry, it's been almost three years since you came back. When I saw you, I got a little too excited."

"Besides, didn't you promise me before that you would come and marry me after you came down from the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Du Cheng, who was standing to the side, looked like he had no tears left to shed.

All the good things that happened to me ended up happening to my younger brother, even though he's handsome too.

Seeing this, Xu Yao chuckled and walked up to Du Cheng, patting him on the shoulder in a comforting gesture.

"Waaah, Brother Xu, I feel so lonely. Don't I look like a stray dog?"

Xu Yao glanced at Du Cheng's expression and nodded solemnly.

"picture."

"Waaaaah, now only your shoulder is left for me to lean on. Why don't we just become a couple and that's it?"

Xu Yao shoved Du Cheng's head away impatiently, "Get lost."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaomei's parents also arrived.

Zhang Xiaomei's mother smiled happily: "Look, who's back."

Du Cheng and Du Gong quickly bowed to the two men.

"Hello, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang."

Zhang Xiaomei's father glanced at Du Cheng and Du Gong.

"Not bad, you're both very strong. I just don't know if you two have accomplished anything after being at the Qingyun Sect for so long."

"Don't worry about that, the two of us are quite capable now."

Zhang Xiaomei's father smiled and said, "Whether someone is good or not can't be judged by words alone; you have to put them to the test."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the tall man beside him.

"Ah Wei, why don't you test their skills?"
