I Am The Fated Villain
Chapter 38: The Golden Cicadas Come Out of their Shells
The footsteps outside arrived getting closer and closer, and Lin Qiuhan was obviously not alone.
Lin Tian's face grew even more paled, and his body continued to tremble due to weakness. His heart kept drowning.
What can he do at a time like this?
Rushed out? No, he'll be caught red-handed on the spot!
He's in a sad state now. His origin had been damaged, and he had also received a violent counterattack.
First of all, how could he rush out when he could not even walk straight?
Lin Tian could not help feeling deep despair. Despair was no different from what he felt when he shattered the void and tried to Climb, but met with a spatial crack in the middle of his Ascent and his existence was almost obliterated.
He felt despair and helplessness right in his heart again.
Will he really reach his end tonight? He can't accept that! After finally receiving the chance of awakening, instead of reaching the peak of his life, he simply fell further down.
Lin Tian roared in his heart as reluctance welled up within him.
But right at this moment, it was as if Heaven had heard his desperate call, and he saw a beam of light in the darkness of Hell where he had fallen. A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed across Lin Tian's mind.
A dead faint!
Absolutely right!
He could fake his death and escape from this disaster. Lin Tian was a ruthless man who could do anything if necessary. Immediately, he cut off his veins, and hid the rest of his soul in the deepest depths of his Sea of Consciousness using a secret technique.
No one could see through his secret techniques.
After all, the soul of the Predecessor had long since perished, and all that was left was an empty shell. And now that he had cut off his veins, all the vitality of the body would naturally be lost.
And as fate would have it, this secret technique worked in the following way: 'after three days, the effects of the technique would disappear, no, and he'll automatically wake up and his heart's blood vessels will also start to repair themselves.'
Even if the members of the Lin Family found him, he could use amnesia as an excuse to confuse them.
Lin Tian did not hesitate to act on his plan as soon as he thought about it. He screamed loudly and spurted blood from his mouth. His eyes turned backwards, and his trembling body fell to the ground.
[Bang!]
At the same time, someone pushed the courtyard gate and entered.
"Little Tian, what's wrong?!"
"Lin Tian ..."
Lin Qiuhan and the others were very surprised by what they saw in front of them.
….
[The next day when the sky was barely clear.]
The movement outside the hall woke Gu Changge from his sleep.
After devouring a large number of demons last night, as well as Lin Tian's lifespan, his soul power had strengthened to a newer level. After all, that age strand belonged to the mighty God King, even if he was no longer as strong as he was in his prime. It still contained a lot of power in it.
After Gu Changge digested everything, he fell into a deep sleep. After all, unlike other cultivators, he did not need to stay awake twenty-four times seven and sit cross-legged to understand and increase his cultivation base. Since he could increase his cultivation base by adding points to his stats, why would he make himself suffer?
"Sir, many people are waiting for you outside."
Su Qingge was already wearing a neat and delicate soft dress that accentuated her figure. Her beautiful and flawless face glittered in the dim sunlight.
While talking to Gu Changge, he looked outside with curiosity and doubt.
What happened when he fell asleep last night?
Gu Changge did not say anything to him, so he was still unclear about the events that occurred. He wondered why all the members of the Ancient Lin Family, including Old Ming, looked scared and stood outside, respectfully waiting?
It is not difficult to say that they are waiting for their Young Master.
"It looks like they've caught the rat."
Gu Changge stretched his limbs and replied. Su Qingge could not wait to find out the answer, and asked in surprise, "Who are you talking about, My Lord?"
"Obviously, I'm talking about the man who tried to kill me last night."
Gu Changge replied as if it was something insignificant.
“Such things happen, and I don't even feel anything?!”
Su Qingge was surprised by his sudden words. How well did he sleep last night? How did he sleep through such a big problem?
Or, could it be that her Young Master had deliberately suppressed the movement so as not to disturb her? Su Qingge's heart skipped a beat as she thought about this.
A person as aloof and honorable as Gu Changge could do anything without caring about others. Yet he was so careful and kept it in his consideration? How could Su Qingge not be touched after this realization hit her?
The small movements and attentive actions from him were the reason why he continued to sink deeper and deeper into his 'trap'.
Gu Changge clearly did not know Su Qingge's thoughts. After all, even he could not claim to read a woman's mind like the back of his hand.
The system, however, informed him through a prompt that his Luck Value had increased. From there he could tell that Su Qingge's heart was giving up on him even more.
Sure enough, as the ancients said: 'familiarity breeds joy.'
"You slept like a pig last night, so how do you know?"
Gu Changge said with a warm laugh and then walked out. Su Qingge, on the other hand, snorted in response and asked curiously, "Is the person who tried to attack you last night a boy named Lin Tian?"
“How can you know?”
Gu Changge was slightly surprised by his words.
"Well, I feel that there is a problem with the trash named Lin Tian after listening to the dialogue between my Master and that girl named Lin Qiuhan."
Su Qingge explained.
“You are a smart woman. I didn't spoil you all this time in vain.”
Gu Changge praised.
It was just that Su Qingge still had some questions that puzzled her.
Why did the young man named Lin Tian lose his mind and come to attack his Young Master?
Is he tired of living?
Sometimes, ignorance and jealousy can really send someone to their death.
Immediately, Gu Changge arrived outside and watched the large swath of faces belonging to the people from the Ancient Lin Family.
"My lord, this old slave cannot disciple his descendants well .. Please punish this slave, my lord!"
With his face filled with guilt, Old Ming stood at the forefront. As soon as Gu Changge appeared, he walked a step forward and knelt down to plead guilty.
"Have you found the attacker yet?"
Gu Changge's strength surged in response, but he did not move. His face was still as indifferent as ever, and no one knew whether he was angry or happy.
Clearly, he already knew the answer to his question.
Specially? It wasn't the fault of Old Ming from the start. Let alone Old Ming, even the people from the Ancient Lin Family would never have imagined that their trash would commit such cruelty.
Still, he couldn't show that on his face. It would be much more interesting to watch the Ancient Lin Family discover the truth about Lin Tian's possession, than he expose it himself.
"My lord, we've found the man, but ..."
Old Ming's guilt was deciphered and he could not finish his words. The people from the Lin Family standing behind him were also trembling, and none of them dared to breathe loudly.
The one in the worst condition was none other than the Patriarch of the Ancient Lin Family. Cold sweat covered his forehead and back, and he felt his legs soften under the pressure of what was to come.
Once the Young Master in front of him became angry, he would not be the only one to descend. The entire Ancient Lin Family and even their Ancestors would suffer.
Everyone in the Ancient Lin Family had a similar mood to his own. They could not help the panic in their hearts, and stood on their feet as if waiting for the punishment of the Emperor's wrath.
Lin Qiuhan was no exception either. His face was pale, and he had yet to recover from the blow he received last night after reality hit him. He still could not force himself to believe all of that.
"Oh! What is matte? Did something happen to the attacker?"
Gu Changge asked with interest. He wanted to know what other tricks Lin Tian had up his sleeve. Or were the people before him going to use some excuse and say he ran away? Or will they pretend to know nothing?
"Last night…"
Then, with great guilt holding him down his throat, Old Ming began to explain everything that happened last night.
