Chapter 39: Feigned Death; Awaited Resurrection!

After searching everywhere last night, they finally found the assailant. It was Lin Tian, the youngest son of the Lin Familys Patriarch whom no one in the Family liked. He was recognized as the Lin Familys waste who couldnt cultivate.

The realization shocked everyone at that time.

When they rushed into his courtyard, they found Lin Tian with his origin in a damaged state. His face had turned old, and he fell into a pool of his own blood. He had already cut off his hearts vein, and died.

It was impossible for them to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

What could they ask a dead man?

The entire Lin Family despaired. They were so desperate that they desired to find someone who could take the blame, instead of the entire family suffering.

Everyone hated Lin Tian from the bottom of their hearts!

He died?

Gu Changge was taken aback when he heard their explanation.

Wasnt he supposed to just escape using petty tricks?

Gu Changge felt it was impossible. Lin Tian wasnt truly dead, and he must be pretending to be dead. There were too many secret techniques that allowed one to go into a state of suspended animation in the world, and it wasnt hard to trick people who didnt know enough.

Whats more? Lin Tian had that overpowered Fortune backing him, so how could he die off so easily?

Gu Changge wasnt surprised that Lin Tian used such a method to pull wool over everyones eyes.

After all, where could a remnant soul with a damaged origin escape to from the flesh? A gentle breeze would be enough to dissipate such a remnant soul.

Besides, how could a Favored Son of Heaven commit suicide?

Lin Tian hated him to death, so would he really commit suicide before killing him? If he really did, then he would be a disgrace to all the Favored Children of Heaven.

The System hadnt given any prompt, so Gu Changge was sure that Lin Tian was still alive. He was only feigning death using some kind of secret technique.

Did he really think that he, Gu Changge, wouldnt be able to see through his petty parlor tricks?

Various thoughts went through Gu Changges mind. The expression on his face didnt show any change, nor did he utter any response to the ones who stood before him. His silence compounded the anxiousness of the Lin Familys people, and their hatred for Lin Tian soared further.

Even the Lin Familys Patriarch cursed himself for giving birth to such a scourge.

In the past few days, he had felt relieved after listening to Lin Qiuhan saying that Lin Tian had turned over a new leaf. But his actions last night made him piss his pants.

[Ding! Everyone in the Ancient Lin Family has developed hatred towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian lost 100 Points of Fortune Value! Host received 500 Destiny Points!]

Right at this time, the Systems prompt rang inside Gu Changges mind. Gu Changge couldnt help but cackle in his heart a bit.

This worked, too?

Lin Tian didnt have a lot of Fortune Value left, and he estimated that whatever he was left with, it was all due to his relationship with Lin Qiuhan.

We werent able to discipline our dog. Please punish us, Young Lord!

That Lin Tian secretly plotted and attacked the Young Lord, and its all due to our negligence. We are willing to receive your punishment, Young Lord!

Everyone from the Lin Family knelt in unison and spoke with sincerity and fear.

Old Ming had clearly explained Gu Changges position and background to them. Right now, it would be better for them to confess their sins and honestly ask for punishment, instead of pretending to not be involved.

After all, it didnt matter if they did or didnt have anything to do with the event.

Might is, indeed, right

Su Qingge, who was quietly standing behind Gu Changge all this time, suddenly heard a malevolent voice full of admiration in her mind. It was her other soul!

Still, her expression remained unchanged.

Over the last period of time, she had awakened many memories from her other soul. There were even memories regarding the Upper Realm which confused her a little, so she took up the hobby of reading ancient books to make sense of the scattered information.

At the same time, she gradually started to peer upon an ancient cultivation method inheritance that appeared together with those memories.

She had kept this secret from Gu Changge. After all, the matter of her having two souls in one body was her biggest secret. She didnt know how to talk about that kind of matter with someone else.

My Lord, please punish this old slave for this incident. Although we dont know the reason behind Lin Tians actions, it is a fact that he, as this old slaves descendant, did commit that heinous act. This old slave is ashamed to even show his face before My Lord anymore

Old Ming said with deep guilt covering his face.

He didnt know what the heck was that Lin Tians deal, nor could he understand how a waste like him who couldnt even cultivate could use such a vicious forbidden technique.

Unfortunately, he couldnt find any proof about someone else using Lin Tian to frame the Ancient Lin Family.

This matter is too weird. Miss Qiuhan told me about that person named Lin Tian a while ago. He was just an ordinary waste kid who shouldnt have any ability to harm me, nor would he have the guts to do something like this.

Whats more? The Upper Realm has many secret techniques that can allow people to take over someone elses body, and even manipulate their minds. Although this was done by Lin Tian, I know that it has nothing to do with the Lin Family as a whole. Who knows? Someone might be trying to target and frame you because you are the descendants of my followers, and because I am staying here.

Lets end this here. This Lord isnt an indiscriminate devil who will hold you accountable for something thats not your fault.

Finally, Gu Changge spoke up and responded to Old Ming and the people of Ancient Lin Family. His tone was flat, and one couldnt feel any fluctuations in his aura as he uttered those magnanimous words.

He bluntly said that he wouldnt blame the Ancient Lin Family for all of this.

To be precise, he didnt 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 wasnt the Lin Familys fault that a strong figure took over the body of their waste Lin Tian.

Still, he had to pretend that he knew nothing and was simply giving face to the Lin Family. In this way, he could establish his own magnanimity and prestige in front of everyone from the Lin Family, and win their hearts.

Although it wouldnt help him in any way, it wasnt a bad thing.

He could also just consider it as giving face to Old Ming, and that would make Old Ming even more devoted to working for him.

Uttering a few words of pardon took nothing from him, and only brought him benefits!

Thank you for your kindness, Young Lord!

Young Lord is magnanimous and kind!

Everyone in the Lin Family, including Old Ming, breathed in a sigh of relief once they heard Gu Changges words. Their hearts relaxed, and they felt immense excitement well up in their chests.

Of course, they also guessed that the reason Gu Changge forgave them so easily was because he simply couldnt be bothered to deal with their Lin Family. Thatwas just how high above he stood.

Thank you, My Lord!

Old Ming wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with an emotional tone.

He couldnt help but feel touched to see that he, a servant, had received so much face from his Young Lord. He felt that he was blessed to be able to work for his magnanimous Young Lord.

Lin Qiuhan, by the side, was also taken aback to hear her name from Young Lord Gus mouth. She wondered if Young Lord Gu was helping raise her status in the Family?

Her face flushed, and she began fantasizing about unknown things.

The sadness she felt over Lin Tians sudden death had already lessened by a lot over night.

Young Lord, please rest assured that I will investigate this matter and give you a satisfactory answer!

The Lin Familys Patriarch said, and heaved a sigh of relief together with the other Elders. After that, they all began to ponder about the matter.

How did Lin Tian die?

Why did he mess with Young Lord Gu?

And why did a waste like him suddenly turn over a new leaf now only?

They had too many doubts that they needed to resolve.

Gu Changge gave them a slight nod, and then waved his hands to give them permission to deserve. Keeping them there anymore would bring him no profit.

However, he didnt let them bury or cremate Lin Tians body. After all, he was still looking forward to the moment that Lin Tian would resurrect.

If they cremated Lin Tian, then Lin Tian would have truly played himself to death.

If they buried him, then everything would go according to Lin Tians plot. read latest chpters at n/v(e)lbi(.)co/m

And since Gu Changge hadnt thoroughly squeezed him dry, he would never let Lin Tian have his way!
