English Novel
Chapter 62
Chapter 62
Jiang Chen had good reason to think this way.
His recent actions were almost identical to those described in the original story.
If everything went according to the plot, Qingning might cry because of him, but she would never say something so out of character!
Therefore, Jiang Chen had reason to suspect that his Third Junior Sister had gone mad too!
He was suddenly a bit panicked.
If Jiang Lianyue had gone mad, and Lin Mubai too, and now Qingning as well, didn’t that mean…
The plot was collapsing?!
If the plot collapsed, who knew how it would affect the ending?
And how would he ascend?
‘Steady, don’t panic!’Jiang Chen reassured himself in his mind.
The task given to him by the system was to die at the hands of Lin Feng at the grand finale.
Although the current situation was a bit troublesome, it was still under control!
Everything is fine as long as Lin Feng doesn’t go mad!
As he was thinking this, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a softness in his arms.
Looking down, he saw Qingning had taken advantage of his distraction and thrown herself into his embrace.
Burying her head deep, Qingning sobbed, “Senior Brother, don’t worry, I’m not mad. I’ve never been as clear-headed as I am today!”
Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched.
Diagnosis complete. She was definitely gone mad.
Because both Jiang Lianyue and Lin Mubai had said the same thing!
Fortunately, Qingning’s mad condition was only verbal, unlike Jiang Lianyue who would ‘explode the sect’ at the drop of a hat, or Lin Mubai who would suddenly want to chop himself down.
With her current state, she might still be able to push the plot forward!
“Qingning, where’s Lin Feng?” Jiang Chen asked.
Qingning shook her head.
“Don’t know?” Jiang Chen was taken aback.
Qingning nodded again.
She really didn’t know.
Who knew if Lin Feng was dead or had fled?
Through the nine cycles of reincarnation, she had seen Jiang Chen try countless times to kill Lin Feng, but not once had he succeeded.
Jiang Chen directly used the overwhelming strength of the Jiang family to try to kill Lin Feng.
But in the end, Lin Feng didn’t die, and instead, it brought the Imperial Dynasty down on the Jiang family earlier than expected.
Jiang Chen had relied on memories of past lives, practicing swordsmanship and pill refining, hoping to improve his own cultivation and thus avoid being humiliated by Lin Feng.
But the result was that the world was suppressing him!
No matter how much he cultivated, he would definitely be stripped of his Core Formation and have to start over before Lin Feng appeared.
After practicing swordsmanship for many lifetimes and even if he had enough understanding of the Way of the Sword in his mind, he could only reach Minor Achievement in the Way of the Sword before being expelled from the sect!
Advancing further was like touching an impenetrable barrier, impossible to break through!
And pill refining was even less likely.
Fifth Grade was the watershed for pill refiners, and to advance further, one needed not only sufficient experience in the Dao of Pills but also to find a pill fire of the same grade.
Clearly, something called ‘luck’ had nothing to do with Jiang Chen.
Therefore, through nine cycles of reincarnation, he could not change the outcome no matter how he changed or tried.
That is the Son of Destiny, the protagonist of the world.
Everyone and everything was paving the way for his growth!
Unless the entire world rejected Lin Feng, his status as the protagonist would be hard to shake!
That’s why Qingning was trying to exhaust Lin Feng’s luck.
She knew that as long as Lin Feng faced a life-threatening crisis, he would gain a fortuitous encounter or enlightenment and then rapidly grow stronger.
But this required the consumption of luck!
She knew this very well because she was also someone who endowed with luck!
If one day Lin Feng’s luck ran out, maybe they really could kill him!
Although this Jiang Chen had tried in the cycles of reincarnation and failed, there was still a chance of success if she could work harder to ‘kill’ Lin Feng.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen didn’t know Qingning’s thoughts, and at this moment, he just felt a headache.
It was too unreasonable.
After repeating nine cycles of reincarnation, he finally had the hope of ascending and leaving this world.
But now, not only was the plot showing signs of collapsing, but even the protagonist Lin Feng was nowhere to be found!
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen decided to use a big move.
“You guys, go find someone named Lin Feng for me!” Jiang Chen ordered the underlings.
“Lin Feng?”
Liu Wen looked troubled, “We don’t know what that Lin Feng looks like…”
“You don’t need to know.”
Jiang Chen sneered, “Just wander around this Lingshan Town and do whatever you want. As long as Lin Feng shows up, he will definitely come to beat you up! Then you guys come and inform me immediately!”
“Ah?”
The underlings were all confused.
What kind of logic was that?
Lin Feng had no grudge against them, why would he come to beat them up?
And why was Jiang Chen so sure of it?
What they didn’t know was that this was the villain’s halo.
When a villain commits evil deeds, it will inevitably attract the punishment of those who consider themselves “upholders of justice.”
Although Liu Wen and the others were insignificant small-time villains, as Jiang Chen’s underlings, they still had the villain’s halo.
Therefore, as long as Lin Feng appeared in this Lingshan Town and they were doing evil deeds, he would definitely show up to beat them up! Jiang Chen named this technique: Summoning Lin Feng!
This technique was convenient, but it also had side effects.
Once used, it would not only attract Lin Feng but also other “upholders of justice.”
It would cause chaos in a place, not to mention some underlings might be useless…
“If someone beats you up, run and come find me immediately! Understand? Don’t stand there like an idiot and babbling non-stop,” Jiang Chen reminded them again.
Liu Wen and the others were still confused but nodded to show they understood.
After being glared at by Jiang Chen, they reluctantly left to carry out the orders.
Pushing away Qingning who was still clinging to him tightly, Jiang Chen also planned to wander around Lingshan Town.
After all, as a major villain, he had a higher chance of encountering Lin Feng.
“Why are you following me?” Jiang Chen said as he looks back after walking a few steps.
“Hehe.” Qingning just smiled.
Jiang Chen was speechless. Too lazy to bother with her, he continued to walk ahead on his own.
Seeing the situation, Qingning quickly caught up with small steps.
The two were half a step apart.
As they walked, Qingning suddenly moved a step and said excitedly, “Eldest Senior Brother, I stepped on your shadow! You lose!”
“Hmph, childish!” Jiang Chen didn’t even turn his head.
Hearing this, Qingning was startled.
During the nine cycles of reincarnation, while accompanying Jiang Chen throughout the Central Domain, she often amused herself this way.
But she had never heard a response from Jiang Chen…
Because Jiang Chen simply couldn’t see her.
At this moment, although Jiang Chen called her ‘childish’, it gave her an unprecedented sense of reality.
Sniffling, Qingning no longer followed behind but stepped forward and hugged Jiang Chen’s arm.
The two walked side by side on the spacious main road, exchanging words.
“Let go.”
“I won’t!”
“Believe it or not, I’ll hit you?”
“How will you hit me? Like spanking me when I was young?”
“…Can we have a proper conversation?”
“Sure, then give me back my little wooden sword!”
“Here take… Pah! I threw that thing into the latrine a long time ago!”
“Hehe.”
“Look at you, laughing like an idiot! No, you’re a madwoman.”
“If being mad is the only way to stay by Eldest Senior Brother’s side, then Qingning is a madwoman!”
“I get it now! Are you trying to anger me to death? Then elope with Lin Feng?”
“…”
“No, why are you crying again?”
