The protégés and deceased officials are spread across the world, and he can be considered one of the most influential figures in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And Su Weiran is also a remarkable individual. She is the granddaughter of Su Zhong, possessing a rare jade spirit body and unique talents. Su Zhong holds deep affection for her, and she shines like a dazzling flower in the imperial capital!

This Chu Tian has managed to capture the attention of Su Weiran, leaving Chu Xu feeling only able to sigh in response.

As expected of the lucky one's son...

Chu Xu waved his hand, signaling the man in black to withdraw. He wore a wry smile and muttered to himself, "Unexpectedly, he became a villain through crossing over..."

Originally, he was a business tycoon in Blue Planet China, having overcome countless intrigues to reach the top. However, after getting drunk, he unexpectedly crossed over to another world and became a son of the Hou Mansion.

Although this body's conditions were extremely favorable, possessing exceptional looks, life experiences, and talents, ever since Chu Xu learned about Chu Tian, it felt like a thorn in his side, affecting his peace and appetite.

Of course, he was somewhat knowledgeable about the tropes of online novels, and this Chutian fit the description of a proper protagonist template!

But fortunately, Chu Xu wasn't without opportunities...

Chu Xu whispered, "System."

A light yellow system interface appeared in front of Chu Xu.

"Host: Chu Xu

Identity: Son of Sushen Hou Mansion

Cultivation: Five layers of Xuan Dan realm.

Physique: Taixuan Divine Body

Practicing exercises: Taikoo Shenxuan Sutra (current classics, progress: three levels)

Magic weapon: Xuan Fa Dao Sword (Tian Tier), Zhenzhou Shending

Luck level: 1

Extra luck value: 0

Gold finger: none

Villain value: 0"

In the current world, cultivation is divided into nine great realms: Qi practice realm, Smart realm, Nirvana realm, Profound pill realm, Yutai realm, Shenfu realm, Heavenly palace realm, Void God realm, and Profound God realm.

And each realm is divided into nine levels. Chu Xunian Fang, in his twenties, has reached the fifth level of the Profound Core Realm, making him an unparalleled genius...

Chu Xu narrowed his eyes, focusing on the column indicating villain value.

While treasures of heaven, material, and earth are important resources for other cultivators, for Chu Xu, the villain value is the most crucial resource.

The villain value can be obtained by defeating the original lucky child. Not only can it allow one to plunder the luck of the lucky child, but it can also be exchanged in the system mall for various natural treasures, supernatural powers, or used to break through cultivation bottlenecks. Its usefulness is astonishingly vast.

Furthermore, some of Chu Xu's villainous actions will also grant him villain value.

After understanding the system's utility and the significance of the villain value, Chu Xu couldn't help but secretly smile. It appears that the system is pushing him to become a major villain...

However, Chu Xu is inherently indifferent and ruthless. He only sees benefits, only cares about achieving his goals, and will use any means necessary.

Becoming a major villain carries no psychological burden for him.

In fact, it even brings a hint of excitement!

Who said the lucky one must have the last laugh?

Who said the villain is destined to be a stepping stone for the lucky one?

In this life, Chu Xu will act as a villain, do villainous deeds, and surpass all the lucky children!

He will achieve a dominant career and become

a great hero!

...

Just as Chu Xu was lost in his thoughts, a respectful voice came from outside the door: "My son, the eldest princess invites you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xu's face displayed an inexplicable expression.

His biological mother, Princess Duanchang, was born into the royal family and held not only a prestigious status but also wielded great power within the Sushen Hou Mansion.

Currently, Chu Zhengxiong leads troops on the border to conquer foreign races and has no time to attend to the affairs of the Hou Mansion. Princess Duanchang is the true ruler of the colossal Sushen Hou Mansion!

Chu Xu slowly stood up and calmly replied, "I understand."

He walked out of the main hall, where many people were already waiting outside. Around a dozen maids and guards, all of whom he had relied on and trusted in the past.

Leading them was a man dressed in black, his face cold and stern, exuding a faintly dangerous aura.

The man's name was Song Zheng, a powerful individual at the Jade Platform level. He was Chu Xu's confidant, known for his ruthlessness and cruelty.

Song Zheng had been involved in many covert and shameful actions alongside Chu Xu, remaining loyal to him.

Seeing Chu Xu exit the main hall, Song Zheng's face revealed a respectful expression. He greeted Chu Xu, along with the other close attendants, saying, "I pay my respects, my son."

Chu Xu nodded slightly and softly replied, "No need for formalities."

Immediately after, Song Zheng leaned closer and whispered, "Go and monitor Chu Tian's actions. Investigate everything he does these days, including his associations. Leave no stone unturned!"

Song Zheng lowered his head, nodded, and solemnly replied, "Yes!"

Being loyal to Chu Xu, he naturally viewed Chu Tian, the bane of Chu Xu, as a thorn in his side.

Despite being a direct descendant of the Hou Mansion, Chu Tian wasn't valued by Chu Zhengxiong. Coupled with the suppression from the princess, Chu Tian's life was filled with misery, and few within the Sushen Hou Mansion supported him.

Investigating Chu Tian, the son of the Hou Mansion, wouldn't require much effort...

With a slight nod, Song Zheng turned and left to carry out the task. For him, Chu Xu's orders took precedence, especially when it involved seizing a concubine. Naturally, he would oversee the matter personally.

This was what Chu Xu appreciated the most about Song Zheng.

Surrounded by attendants, Chu Xu made his way towards the princess's palace.

The Sushen Hou Mansion occupied a vast area, spanning tens of thousands of miles. The mansion exuded a formidable and ancient atmosphere, indicating the presence of powerful individuals cultivating throughout the estate.

Within the Sushen Hou Mansion were tens of thousands of children, not only from the Chu family but also those who came to learn martial arts from the Sushen Hou Mansion.

Once these disciples joined the Sushen Hou Mansion, they became the family's generals, future deacons who would protect and serve the mansion.
