CHAPTER 173: CHAPTER 173 CLEVER PLAN

"Congratulations, life master, for breaking through to martial master, Heaven-defying Value +10.

Retaliatory killing of a Mystic Martial Level villain, Heaven-defying Value +10.

Fully comprehending the first form of Ghost God Fist, Heaven-defying Value +10."

In one breath, Xin Lin gained an additional 30 points of Heaven-defying Value.

The accidental breakthrough of Ghost God Fist allowed Xin Lin to counterattack and kill Chu Yuan, a result that even she had not anticipated.

Her Divine Sense shifted, and within her mind, the Heaven-defying Book shone brilliantly.

Xin Lin was puzzled at heart; she remembered obtaining Heaven-defying Value when dealing with the Sikong previously, so why did killing Chu Yuan only grant her 10 points of Heaven-defying Value this time?

Could it be that the Heaven-defying Book was cheating her and skimming off her Heaven-defying Value?

The Heaven-defying Book was connected to Xin Lin’s soul, and as soon as she murmured in her heart, the Heaven-defying Book immediately responded.

"Reminder from the Life Book: the amount of Heaven-defying Value gained will change according to the life master’s increase in cultivation. Although the life master has killed beyond her rank, the life master’s Ghost God Fist level far exceeds the villain’s Gale Palm, having an overwhelming advantage, and thus the victory was not won by pure martial skill."

Implicit in this statement is that Xin Lin cheated by using the Ghost God Fist to kill Chu Yuan, so the Heaven-defying Value gained was reduced. If she had used Gale Palm, the Heaven-defying Value would have been more.

"Where do all these rules come from? This isn’t allowed, and that isn’t allowed either."

Xin Lin murmured.

However, 30 points of Heaven-defying Value meant that Xin Lin had three chances to use the Opportunity Dice or to use the Dan Wood Furnace.

Her mind moved, and she returned to the dilapidated courtyard.

Chu Yuan’s body lay cold on the ground, long bereft of life.

Silly Chu still maintained the earlier posture, tightly hugging Xin Lin.

Seeing what had just happened, Silly Chu was not startled, his handsome face only showing confusion.

"Don’t... bully... daughter... good... good..."

Silly Chu began to laugh foolishly.

Xin Lin glanced at the corpse on the ground, her brows furrowing slightly.

She had inadvertently killed Chu Yuan, but considering the villain had discovered her identity, she would have had to silence him sooner or later. What she needed to figure out now was how to cover up the incident.

Xin Lin took Silly Chu out of the courtyard; the decrepit place was silent.

"Silly Chu, Chu Yuan is dead, no one will dare to bully you anymore. Remember, as soon as someone comes, you cry, and no matter what they ask you, you say..."

Xin Lin taught Silly Chu repeatedly, until Silly Chu had memorized her words, then she set a fire, and the courtyard was engulfed in flames.

"Fire, quick, put out the fire!"

Soon enough, someone noticed the blaze.

Meanwhile, Chu Tianyi was in his beloved daughter Chu Miaoyun’s courtyard, waiting for the effects of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder.

"Reporting to the second master, the first master’s courtyard is on fire."

A servant hurriedly came to report.

Chu Bei’s courtyard was on fire?

Chu Tianyi’s expression changed at the news.

What’s going on? Silly had finally come back, was he causing trouble again?

"Let’s go, take a look."

Chu Tianyi immediately took people to Chu Bei’s courtyard, and upon arrival, they saw many family servants fighting the fire, which was fierce.

Just as they entered, they saw Chu Bei being rescued from the fire; although he was covered in soot and appeared overly frightened, he was fortunately unharmed.

"What happened?"

Chu Tianyi asked with irritation.

"Reporting to the second master, the courtyard was in disrepair and accidentally caught fire. It was lucky that Manager Chu spotted it and rushed into the blaze to rescue the first master. However, when the manager went back into the inferno, he unfortunately perished."

The servants had rushed to put out the fire, but the flames were already uncontrollable.

They only had time to see Chu Bei stumbling out of the inferno, and after the first master was rescued, he was muttering the name "Chu Yuan."
