I Am The Fated Villain
Chapter 42: Long-Term Plans; Kneeling and Licking Young Master's Shoes!
"The person who built this pavilion really knows how to enjoy life."
Gu Changge stood with his hands in the back, and ignored the Moon-facing City from its highest point. He couldn't help but praise the creator of the Star Quenching Pavilion as he looked at everything below, including the many cultivators who went around taking care of their own business.
It felt incredible to be high above watching the world as if a man was looking at an ant nest!
He decided to ask a craftsman to build a tall pavilion like this in his residence once he returned to the Upper Realm. 'His 'Sky Picking Pavilion' would be much taller and majestic.
With a status and background like hers, she naturally had the right to enjoy such treatment.
“We are honored to know that it satisfies you, Young Master Gu! This Pavilion was specially built by the Ancestors before it to house the Holy Gods and Emperors of various powers in the world.”
Lin Qiuhan explained with a smile. If not for Gu Changge taking him, he would not have the qualifications to enter the Star Quenching Pavilion.
"Indeed. To hold the Sun and the Moon in one hand, and to choose the Star with the other? What a beautiful dream..”
Gu Changge said with a smile.
He has a simple long-term plan. The reason why he had asked Lin Qiuhan to guide him looking around the ancient city was natural: 'evaluating the extent of his Alchemical talent.' He had to consider how he should raise and use Lin Qiuhan after bringing him to the Upper Realm with him.
Gu Changge had a frightening background, and knew things that ordinary people did not know. Old Ming, an outsider with a different surname, was naturally unable to obtain the knowledge held by the faction behind him.
Even the great Alchemy Inheritance in the Upper Realm had no offspring with a talent equivalent to Lin Qiuhan's monstrous talent for Alchemy!
Once they returned to the Upper Realm, he might even be able to utilize Lin Qiuhan by using him as an insider to control that Alchemy Inheritance. As long as he made good preparations, he would not be a person of loss.
Of course, Gu Changge also wanted to show his generous side and kindness, to conquer Lin Qiuhan as soon as possible. Wouldn't it be amazing if he received 1000 Destiny Points by conquering?
Fortunately, Lin Qiuhan was a woman without any advanced thoughts. Gu Changge quickly placed him under his spell through his 'sweet words', and soon, his heart and attention were fully focused on him.
What Lin Tian said earlier was not wrong. Gu Changge was not an honorable man, after all, he was destined by Heaven to become a villain. Despite this, Gu Changge would never persecute his own people.
He did not have any deep ill intentions towards Lin Qiuhan, instead, he was just thinking about how he could gain some benefits from him after raising him in the future.
“To hold the Sun and Moon in one hand, and pluck the stars with the other hand...Young Master Gu, what do you think of the exact reason behind why everyone is trying to cultivate?”
A profound brilliance filled Lin Qiuhan's eyes as he heard his interesting words, and repeated them.
“In my opinion, cultivation is just the process of leaving Earth and setting foot into Heaven — that's it. People fight for opportunities, sacrificing their flesh, blood, and tears, passing through the desert, and using their bodies as rafts to cross the sea of bitterness.
Gu Changge responded with an indifferent yet elegant smile on his face. Of course, he did not mean what he said, and only used words to make himself appear deep. To him, cultivation was nothing more than putting in points and enjoying life.
“Link bitterness? Other side?"
Even Su Qingge's eyes twinkled, and she couldn't help but ponder over her words with great pleasure.
"Your opinion is completely different from others, Young Master Gu, but there is also a deep meaning behind them ..."
Lin Qiuhan couldn't help but admire him even more. Just like that, he and Gu Changge started talking about many more things, and Gu Changge was very involved in his response.
He was not someone who acted high above and gave a mere indifferent response, and it made Lin Qiuhan's admiration of him deepen. In particular, his insight into cultivation made him, a teacher from the cultivation academy, feel as if a new path had opened up in front of him.
Using their bodies as rafts to cross the sea of bitterness to get to the other side?
It was an unprecedented statement that left him with a new understanding of the mysterious and vast cultivation realm of the Upper Realm. He could not imagine what kind of place was up there.
“Young Master Gu, thanks to your words I can realize there is something wrong with Little Tian. If it wasn't for you, he'd keep me in the dark, and I don't know ... "
Lin Qiuhan's expression turned grim and sadness covered his face as he recalled the recent events.
He had always cared about Lin Tian, so it was inexcusable if he really did anything to hurt Young Master Gu. Fortunately, that person was not the real Lin Tian, nor would he have the face to stand in front of Gu Changge.
“I was just talking casually back then, and never knew that something like this would happen.”.
Gu Changge responded with a friendly smile.
"Actually, I have some suspicions about someone messing with Little Tian's soul, so I'll ask him about that, but then everything happened so suddenly ..."
Lin Qiuhan said with a deep feeling of guilt in his heart.
"Oh! Speaking of which, I must give Lady Lin an important reminder. ”
Gu Changge said with a mysterious smile on his face.
Lin Qiuhan asked him to continue. Since it was something 'important' in Gu Changge's words, then it must be something very important.
“You should pay attention to Lin Tian's corpse. I guess not only was he controlled by someone, but someone had replaced his soul and taken over his body. There are many such techniques in the Upper Realms that allow you to do this ... "
“Awakening after death is common, actually!”
Lin Qiuhan was stunned for a moment. The resurrection? Is that really possible?
At that moment, Lin Tian's vitality and soul had been wiped out, yet Gu Changge's words made him rethink everything.
Did he fake his death?
“Of course, that was just my guess. Still, it would be best if Miss Lin paid more attention to everything. ”
Gu Changge said with a calm smile.
He really wanted to let Lin Qiuhan watch Lin Tian 'rise from his grave' with his own two eyes. It would be enough to destroy whatever little confidence Lin Qiuhan had left in him.
Gu Changge naturally did not need to hold Lin Tian back anymore.
….
A loud voice from outside the Star Picking Pavilion sounded at this moment.
"Young Master Gu, a group of young geniuses from the Middle States and the Eastern Wilderness are requesting an audience with you!"
Elder Lin, who had led Gu Changge to the Star Taking Pavilion, respectfully walked in and reported.
Gu Changge could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He wanted to reject them, but then he realized that there was nothing better to do, so he nodded and said, "Alright, let them in."
He hoped that this group of arrogant brats could give him some pleasure.
Immediately, a large group of young men and women with incredible auras and brilliant light around their bodies respectfully entered the Star Picking Pavilion behind the Ancient Lin Family Elder.
"Chu Xuan saluted the Young Master!"
The number one shepherd dog Gu Changge of the Eastern Wilderness, the Holy Son of Taixuan, Chu Xuan, was also among them. He hurriedly walked forward and respectfully saluted Gu Changge and started flattering him.
Beside him, there was also another outstanding young man from the Eastern Wilderness who had accompanied Gu Changge on his way to the Middle States. There were not many foreign faces in their group.
The last group was the arrogant miracle of the Central Country.
At this moment, they all stood in shock as their excitement surged to the Ninth Heaven Layer. After all, this was the first time they had come into contact with this esteemed Young Master of the Upper Realm.
They could not help but feel awe in their hearts as they stared at his godly presence.
"We pay our respects to Young Master!"
Even Jin Yang, the Holy Son of the Sacred Land of Buddha who had previously criticized Gu Changge in his heart, did not dare to disrespect.
"There's no need for such courtesy, everyone."
Gu Changge sat on the host's seat in the pavilion, and nodded to the guests. He had a calm and friendly expression, without the slightest bit of pretense or arrogance, which helped relax everyone's tense nerves.
The rumors are not wrong. The mysterious Young Master was indeed not someone who was difficult to get along with.
Afterwards, a group of young geniuses introduced themselves, and began to show off their cool skills to leave a good impression on Gu Changge. They were all vying like peacocks showing their majestic wings to suppress the others.
From time to time, Gu Changge would nod and smile, and the movement from him encouraged everyone.
Even the 'favored heavenly princess' [1] who normally did not make others in their eyes turned into licking boots, and their sudden change shocked Lin Qiuhan and the others.
The same person who liked to be referred to as Fairy and Goddess had now bowed in front of Young Master Gu, and turned into his obedient pet.
It was an eye-opening experience for them.
Lin Qiuhan was the one who felt the deepest emotion of all this. After all, she was also the favored daughter of heaven like that beautiful beautiful woman. However, Young Master Gu's attitude towards her was completely different from his attitude towards these arrogant 'daughters.
This sudden discovery flattered Lin Qiuhan, and he felt something he had never felt before.
Young Master Gu treated her very differently.
