I Am The Fated Villain
Chapter 39: Fake Death; the long-awaited Resurrection!
After searching everywhere last night, they finally found the assailant. It was Lin Tian, the youngest son of the Patriarch of the Lin Family who was disliked by anyone in the Family. He was recognized as a waste of the Lin Family that could not cultivate.
That realization shocked everyone at the time.
When they rushed to his courtyard, they found Lin Tian with his origin in a broken state. His face had grown old, and he had fallen into a pool of his own blood. He cut off his heart and died.
It was impossible for them to know the ins and outs of this matter.
What can they ask the dead?
The entire Lin Family was desperate. They are so desperate that they want to find someone to blame, instead of the whole family suffering.
Everyone hated Lin Tian from the bottom of their hearts!
"He died?"
Gu Changge was shocked when he heard their explanation.
Wasn't he supposed to run away using a little trick?
Gu Changge felt that it was impossible. Lin Tian wasn't really dead, and he was definitely pretending to be dead. There were too many secret techniques that allowed one to experience a state of suspended animation in the world, and it was not difficult to deceive people who did not know enough.
Specially? Lin Tian had a powerful Fortune supporting him, so how could he die so easily?
Gu Changge was not surprised that Lin Tian used such a method to pull the wool into everyone's eyes.
After all, where could the remaining soul with a broken origin be able to escape from the flesh? A gentle breeze would be enough to dispel the remaining souls.
Moreover, how could the Beloved Heavenly Son commit suicide?
Lin Tian hated him to death, so was he really going to kill himself before killing him? If he really did, then he would be a disgrace to all Preferred Heavenly Children.
The system did not give any orders, so Gu Changge was sure Lin Tian was still alive. He was just pretending to be dead using some kind of secret technique.
Did he really think that he, Gu Changge, would not be able to see through his little parlor trick?
Various thoughts flashed through Gu Changge's mind. His facial expression did not show any change, nor did he utter any response to the people standing in front of him. His silence added to the anxiety of the people of the Lin Family, and their hatred towards Lin Tian was increasing even more.
Even the Patriarch of the Lin Family cursed himself for giving birth to such a scourge.
In the past few days, he felt relieved after listening to Lin Qiuhan say that Lin Tian had opened a new sheet. But his actions last night made him pee in his pants.
[Dig! Everyone in the Ancient Lin Family had developed a hatred towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian lost his Fortune Value 100 Points! The host received 500 Fate Points!]
Right at this moment, the System command rang in Gu Changge's mind. Gu Changge could not help but laugh in his heart a little.
This works too?
Lin Tian did not have much Fortune Value left, and he estimated that whatever was left of him, it was all because of his relationship with Lin Qiuhan.
“We cannot discipline our dogs. Please punish us, Young Master!”
“Lin Tian was secretly plotting and attacking Young Master, and it was all due to our negligence. We are willing to accept your punishment, Young Master!”
Everyone from the Lin Family knelt down in unison and spoke with sincerity and fear.
Old Ming had clearly explained Gu Changge's position and background to them. Right now, it would be better for them to confess their sins and honestly ask for punishment, rather than pretend not to get involved.
After all, it did not matter whether they existed or had nothing to do with the event.
"Maybe, indeed, be true ..."
Su Qingge, who had been quietly standing behind Gu Changge all this time, suddenly heard an evil voice full of admiration in her mind. It was his other soul!
However, his expression remained unchanged.
During the last period of time, he had awakened many memories from his other soul. There were even memories of the Upper Realm that confused him a little, so he took up the hobby of reading ancient books to understand the scattered information.
At the same time, he gradually began to peek at the legacy of the ancient cultivation method that appeared along with that memory.
He had kept this a secret from Gu Changge. After all, the matter of him having two souls in one body was his greatest secret. He did not know how to talk about such a thing with others.
Old Ming said with a deep sense of guilt covering his face.
He didn't know anything about Lin Tian's agreement, nor could he understand how a waste like him who couldn't even cultivate could use such a cruel forbidden technique.
Unfortunately, he was unable to find any evidence of others using Lin Tian to trap the Ancient Lin Family.
“This issue is too strange. Miss Qiuhan told me about the person named Lin Tian a while ago. He's just an ordinary trash kid who shouldn't have the ability to hurt me, nor does he have the guts to do something like this.”
"Otherwise? The Upper Realm had many secret techniques that allowed people to take over the bodies of others, and even manipulate their minds. Although this was done by Lin Tian, I know it has nothing to do with the Lin Family as a whole. Who knows? Someone might try to target and trap you because you are the descendant of my followers, and because I live here.”
“Let's end this here. This master is not an indiscriminate demon who will hold you accountable for something that is not your fault.”
Finally, Gu Changge spoke up and responded to Old Ming and the people from the Ancient Lin Family. His tone was flat, and one could not sense any fluctuations in his aura as he said those generous words.
He frankly said that he would not blame the Ancient Lin Family for all of this.
To be more precise, he did not care about this matter at all. After all, he knew the ins and outs of the matter better than anyone else, and everything was under his control.
It was not the Lin Family's fault that a powerful figure took over their waste body Lin Tian.
Still, he had to pretend to know nothing and just give face to the Lin Family. This way, he could build up his own generosity and prestige in front of everyone from the Lin Family, and win their hearts over.
Although it would not help him in any way, it was not a bad thing.
He could also think of it as giving face to the Old Ming, and it would make the Old Ming more faithfully work for him.
Saying a few words of forgiveness takes nothing away from her, and only gives her benefits!
“Thank you for your kindness, Young Master!”
"Young Master is generous and kind!"
Everyone in the Lin Family, including Old Ming, breathed a sigh of relief once they heard Gu Changge's words. Their hearts relaxed, and they felt an overwhelming excitement in their chests.
Of course, they also guessed that the reason Gu Changge forgave them so easily was because he did not want to bother dealing with their Lin Family. That's .. how high he stands.
“Thank you, Milord!”
Old Ming wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in an emotional tone.
He could not help but feel touched seeing that he, a servant, had received so many faces from his Young Master. He felt that he was blessed to be able to work for his generous Young Master.
Lin Qiuhan, beside him, was also surprised to hear his name from Young Master Gu's mouth. He wondered if Young Master Gu helped raise his status in the Family?
His face turned red, and he started fantasizing about unknown things.
The sadness he felt over Lin Tian's sudden death had diminished a lot overnight.
"Young Master, rest assured that I will investigate this matter and give you a satisfactory answer!"
The Patriarch of the Lin Family said, and heaved a sigh of relief along with the other Elders. After that, they all began to ponder over the matter.
How did Lin Tian die?
Why would he mess with Young Master Gu?
And why would a trash like him suddenly open a new sheet now?
They have too many doubts they have to resolve.
Gu Changge gave them a slight nod, and then waved his hand to give them permission to deserve. Keeping them there again would not give him an advantage.
However, he did not let them bury or cremate Lin Tian's body. After all, he was still looking forward to the time when Lin Tian would 'rise.'
If they cremated Lin Tian, then Lin Tian would completely play himself to death.
If they buried him, then everything would go according to Lin Tian's plan.
And since Gu Changge did not really squeeze him dry, he would never let Lin Tian get what he wanted!
