I Am The Fated Villain
Chapter 13: The Last Round; the Eternal Spirit Gathering Pill!
"Gu Changge, you shameless and despicable bastard! Not only did you steal my Qingge, but now you want to take my Master ..."
Ye Chen's face turned furious as he roared towards Gu Changge. He subconsciously believed that Gu Changge was trying to steal his Master from him! As for Gu Changge trying to sow discord among them? It didn't even cross his mind.
Although he would not say it, Ye Chen still harbored unspeakable emotions for Yan Ji. Although he treated her as his Master on ordinary days, in his heart, however, he considered her as his exclusive possession — someone he would never give to anyone else!
Thus, now that Gu Changge had tried to steal it from her, her anger and hatred grew at an exponential speed; she was ready to explode at any moment now.
"Eh? Why doesn't this Gu remember stealing your Qingge?"
Ye Chen's explosion did not surprise Gu Changge. He did not mind his words, and said in a joking tone, "You know that everything he did — from start to finish — he did it of his own volition; not once had this Gu forced or threatened Holy Girl Qingge. What about that you still don't understand? Tell me, is what this Gu is saying not true?
“Air flows down the hill, and humans are eyeing high status! It is the unchanging law of the world followed by all who dwell in it.
"Instead, if you really have your Master's best interest in your mind, then don't hold it like this! Do you think the remaining spirits can live in this world forever?"
Each word was on target, arranged in such a way that it would destroy the opponent's mind.
Ye Chen tightly clenched his fists as his already ugly expression worsened. He naturally understood that the remaining spirits could not last long in the world, so he had worked hard to become strong as quickly as possible. He was also impatient to help his Master reconstruct his body!
"Little Chen, calm down ..."
Yan Ji could not hold his breath as he summoned his Qi. Suddenly, a cold sensation spread in Ye Chen's mind and calmed him down.
In the end, Ye Chen was still only a young man with a hot temper. A few words from Gu Changge were enough to stir his mind into chaos, preventing him from showing his calm and stoic temperament.
Yan Ji did not understand why Ye Chen, who was usually intelligent, became a fool every time he met Gu Changge. Could it be that he was unable to jump back after experiencing a small setback like this?
"Master…"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth, and his irritable emotions immediately calmed down.
Gu Changge's words back then could be described as a ferocious sword that sucked blood with each stab as it pierced his heart.
[Dig! Ye Chen's mental state was getting damaged. Ye Chen lost 20 of his Luck Points. The host earned 100 Destiny Points.]
The System Prompt sounded in his mind, but Gu Changge could not be bothered about it now.
"Senior, consider what I'm saying. If you follow me, not only can I help you recover your body, I can also make your prowess return to its peak!
"Senior should also know about Gu's origin. Of all the people in this world, Senior should be the most clear about the Strength standing behind me.
"And even if we ignore that and just consider our individual talents, this Gu is still much better than Ye Chen in every aspect ..."
He continued to speak with a sincere attitude, as if he was earnestly trying to recruit talented individuals. As for Ye Chen? He's totally ignored.
Now, Yan Ji could no longer understand what this Gu Changge was trying to accomplish; he could not help but frown.
Troubleshoot disputes?
With Gu Changge's strength, he could easily eliminate Ye Chen, so why would he need to bother with such a twisting method? Perhaps, he thought too much, and he really just wanted to get her by his side.
To be honest, he had a pretty good impression of Gu Changge. After all, he had experienced far more than many others, so he did not see the world through the narrow, biased pinhole.
Even so, Gu Changge did not care about him. The grandeur he possessed, his heroic strength, and the calm temperament he displayed, all of which led Yan Ji to believe that his achievements would not be limited in the future.
"Young Master Gu, you don't need to say it anymore. Since I have received Little Chen's kindness, there's no way I'll leave him alone before he grows up."
Still, Yan Ji shook his head and frankly rejected Gu Changge's kindness. Although his condition was quite tempting, they could not make him go against his conscience.
His response seemed to disappoint Gu Changge, and he said with a sigh, "Of course, I won't pressure Senior to give me a response now. You can take the time and consider my proposal. If Senior decides to follow me, I will forget about Ye Chen's hatred and offense towards me; asking the Taixuan Holy Land to release him without punishment again will also only take punishment. As for Su Qingge, I can also give it to her!"
"You…"
Throbbing blood vessels could be seen on Ye Chen's forehead, but he held back his anger. Now, Ye Chen had already understood that Gu Changge not only wanted to humiliate him, he wanted to steal all of his possessions.
Although Ye Chen did not say anything, the hatred and anger in his eyes had grown as deep as the bottomless abyss.
In Gu Changge's words, Su Qingge — that only Ye Chen could see from far away — was nothing more than a puppet whose fate could be determined with a single word from her. This opened Ye Chen's mind to the truth of the world once more: 'in a dog-eating-dog world like this, the strong can indeed do whatever they want!'
"Please don't talk anymore, Young Master Gu! I appreciate your sincerity, but..."
Gu Changge's words also surprised Yan Ji. He never thought he would propose something like that. It could be said that he was completely sincere with his request.
"Senior, consider! This Gu would never force anyone against their will, let alone threaten the senior with Ye Chen's life."
Gu Changge spoke once again with an indescribable look in his eyes. If he could really kill Ye Chen, he would not let him live this long.
Although Yan Ji had lived a lot longer, his temperament was more straightforward, so he was much easier to deal with than Su Qingge. The little bias towards him in his heart was eliminated with just those words.
Specially? He has been training for the game tonight for quite a while for the last three days.
Gu Changge had already said everything he needed to say, and now, it was time for the final round of the drama. After which, he only needed to see a rift develop between these two Teachers and Disciples.
And when they are not wiser, he will reap all the benefits.
"This is called the [Eternal Spirit Gathering Pill].although, I guess Senior already knows what it is."
At this moment, Gu Changge smiled and took out a box by moving his hand unhurriedly.
Inside the box was a lavender pill circled by a small, colorful cloud. Various visions kept appearing around the pill; there were mountains, oceans, and palaces full of splendor that appeared and disappeared mysteriously.
"This is truly the [Eternal Spirit Gathering Pill]!"
Yan Ji could not help but exclaim, and the shock in his pleasant eyes could not be suppressed.
"The senior spirit is not in good shape right now, so this pill can be considered as a meeting gift from this Gu for you."
Gu Changge said with a smile. Before Yan Ji could reject the pill, he pushed the pill box in his hand and disappeared from the prison.
As the saying goes: 'to make use of the wolf, one must be willing to sacrifice his children.' [^1]
The smile on Gu Changge's face slowly faded away, only to be replaced by an expression of interest.
