CHAPTER 50: IS THIS REALLY HEAVEN’S INTERVENTION?

"Ruyue? Why are you here?"

As soon as Mo Zhiran and Su Ruyue boarded the spirit boat, Mo Tianyu asked in confusion. After all, he saw how Ruyue lost both of her matches with his own eyes.

Not only him, but even all the other disciples on board looked at her in confusion, especially Mei Xuan.

She was particularly curious about this girl who seemed quite close to that abominable guy.

"Umm...I-I..."

Ruyue was suddenly in the spotlight and didn’t know what to say as she fidgeted nervously in her position with a red face.

After all, unlike those who tried their best to rank in the top ten positions, she took a shortcut.

Of course, she was a little ashamed, even though she shouldn’t be.

Fortunately, Zhiran came to her rescue at the right time.

"She will also enter the inner sect. Her incredible talent has been spotted by an elder, and she has been accepted as a personal disciple."

He lightly told the news, however shocking it was.

"Inner Sect?"

"Personal Disciple?"

"Talent?"

Sure enough, although Zhiran seemed nonchalant while telling the news, the disciples on board weren’t, as all of them gasped in surprise.

Even Tianyu seemed bewildered by such a twist, contrary to his calm facade.

Fortunately, he quickly controlled his surprise and coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment.

"Cough...Su Ruyue, I didn’t know your luck was so good. I am really happy for you. Congratulations!"

Whatever the situation was, Su Ruyue was also from his clan and came with him, just like Zhiran.

Although his relationship with this guy wasn’t good, at least with Ruyue, it wasn’t bad.

So, he quickly came close and congratulated her with a smile.

"Luck? Tianyu, didn’t you hear what I said?"

"Elder spotted her talent...talent, do you understand? What luck are you talking about? She isn’t like you, who depends on luck all the time."

Unfortunately for him, before Su Ruyue could reply, he was directly interrupted by Mo Zhiran’s sarcastic remark.

"You..."

Mo Tianyu’s smile became stiff after hearing Zhiran’s sarcasm. But before he could refute, Mo Zhiran directly ignored his constipated face and looked towards a corner.

"Forget about such small things. Let’s talk about why this guy is here instead."

He said, signaling at a burly guy sitting in the far corner, looking at him constantly with his murderous gaze.

Surprisingly, it was actually Wu Zhen in flesh who seemed completely fine, unlike his crippled self from before.

Well, except for his realm, which was dropped to the seventh level of the Qi Condensation realm.

"Elder Hua, did he also get selected by an inner sect elder or what?"

Mo Zhiran suddenly turned to Elder Hua and asked, his face as cold as ice.

Just when he thought he had taken care of someone who ruined him in his previous life and got his revenge, fate had to throw such a sick joke at him.

"Swoosh!"

Zhiran was truly enraged to the extreme this time as his thick, murderous aura spread through the entire boat uncontrollably.

He thought that by crippling Wu Zhen and defeating Tianyu, he had finally set his life in the correct direction.

He thought this time he would definitely steamroll through everything with his unique advantage.

But why was the situation already getting out of his hands?

Did it make sense for a cripple with a broken dantian to recover in such a short period of time?

If it did, then... why did he have to wait so long in his previous life?

Wasn’t this too... unfair?

’This fucking heaven’s intervention again.’

To be honest, Zhiran was almost on the verge of killing Wu Zhen right here with no care for consequences, as his heart suddenly got extremely unsettled.

Because the situation right now clearly resembled the one he faced in his past life.

For outsiders, Wu Zhen’s situation might have seemed like luck. But Zhiran knew this was just the beginning.

This was how all the shits started in his previous life, too.

Unusual and illogical events that looked too absurd and could only be attributed to luck. It didn’t just happen with Tianyu, but with all the so-called characters that appeared around him.

If he remembered correctly, Wu Zhen later became a very strong opponent of Tianyu after betraying the Divine Cauldron Sect and joining the Blood Lotus Sect.

’Is this why heaven didn’t allow him to be crippled this early?’

Then, did that mean whatever he did, his fate was also to be a sacrificial side piece in Tianyu’s plot?

"Z-Zhiran... calm down!"

Just as Zhiran was losing his cool in anger, he suddenly felt a soft hand grab him, followed by the voice of Su Ruyue beside him.

"Don’t lose your cool."

When Ruyue saw Zhiran looking at her, she whispered lightly to bring him back to his senses.

She didn’t know why he changed so much these days, why he sometimes turned extremely ruthless and cold.

She felt that there was something she didn’t know about him. But whatever it was, for now, she didn’t want him to lose his cool.

Anger was never an option in any situation.

Only by keeping calm at all times could one find a way out of every problem.

She didn’t want Zhiran to lose before he even began.

"Hah... Thank you, Ruyue. I was just... a little angry."

Mo Zhiran saw genuine worry on Su Ruyue’s face and took a long breath, dissipating the overwhelming murderous intent emanating from him.

After all, he really couldn’t attack and kill Wu Zhen, could he?

Not to mention, even if he could get through Elder Hua, the Divine Cauldron Sect wouldn’t let him go after doing that.

Moreover, he wasn’t really angry at Wu Zhen, but rather at something intangible; something they couldn’t understand without experiencing it like he did.

"Mo Zhiran, it is good that you controlled your emotions. It isn’t wise to be angry and murderous all the time."

Elder Hua, who had remained silent all this time, finally spoke, nodding lightly. It was better that Zhiran didn’t do something outrageous in his anger.

"As for Wu Zhen, no, he isn’t selected by any elder. It’s just..."

"...that fight was all my fault."
