Chapter 5: Tonight’s Moon is Quite Beautiful, Fate Points are Really Easy To Earn
"Basically, then, until the Child of Fortune's luck drops to a certain value, there's no way for me to kill him?"
They've been talking for a while now.
When he heard the system say that, Gu Channge raised an eyebrow.
"Yes Master. Fortune is something mysterious and imperceptible. With your current strength, you wouldn't have a hard time killing Ye Chen, but it would consequently bring about certain unknown changes."
"Because Master is the biggest change." So the system explained.
Gu Changge nodded. He understood now.
As expected of a Child of Fortune. The heavens itself was keeping him safe.
To give a simple example.
Say that right now, Gu Changge really does try to kill Ye Chen. In that case, the heavens itself will drop a bolt of lightning down to strike him down first.
However, so what if the heavens are protecting you.
I can still take my time to toy with you until you die.
Gu Changge laughed to himself in his mind. He didn't really mind all that much.
Then, he gave a quick glance at the fortune values of everyone in the main hall.
Besides Ye Chen's 500 points, Su Xingge's fortune value was the next highest, at 350 points.
That confirmed Gu Changge's previous hypothesis.
Su Changge's position as the heroine was probably already set.
Only, he had a thought: What if he were to eat up Su Xingge first?
Would it still end up with him suffering from fortune backlash?
If so, then it wouldn't really be worth it.
Be it now or in his previous life.
He had never been someone unbelievably thirst. He wasn't someone ruled by his lower half.
After all, although the thing known as fortune is completely imperceptible, it does in fact exist.
If he end up going too far and getting himself killed, then wouldn't that be a serious loss?
Of course, there are still other methods.
Wouldn't it be fine if he just burned away all their Fortune Value beforehand?
Just like the system message he got just now.
"Ding! Humiliating Ye Chen in front of a crowd. Ye Chen lost 10 Fortune Value. 50 Fate Points gained."
50 Fate Points. You can't call that a lot, but it's not exactly few either.
To Gu Changge though, there's quite a lot that he could still do.
For example, raising his own cultivation level or natural potential.
Compared to cultivating like everyone else, isn't it nice to just be able to add points in with his cheat?
"Ye Chen dared to publicly challenge the rules of the sect, and even insulted the young master Gu. Guards! Throw him into the dungeons. Young master Gu will decide his fate."
At this moment, the high elder of the judgment hall spoke.
He was a buff old man with a square face. Intimidating even when he wasn't mad.
He was very respected and feared in the Taixuan Holy Land.
Normally, he was scrupulously fair, and he even had a somewhat good opinion of Ye Chen.
However, he understood that today, Ye Chen had offered offense to someone he shouldn't have.
Compared to some minor inner disciple, it was obviously more important not to invite disaster upon the sect.
Seeing that this elder of judgment had a probing, flattering gaze.
Gu Channge nodded slightly.
Then, he returned to his previous position, his face once again blank and unreadable.
Allowing him to deal with Ye Chen?
That's actually not a bad idea.
Just never thought that a fair and uncompromising guy like you would be like that.
He couldn't help but giggle on the inside.
Following the dispersal of Gu Changge's crushing pressure.
Ye Chen could finally stand back up, his face filled with shock, humiliation, and unwillingness to accept the results.
His current mental state was practically identical to what Gu Changge had predicted.
Why was it that his master stopped replying at such an important time?
Had even she betrayed him?
Or was it that even Master feared Gu Changge's background?
At that moment, Ye Chen's heart turned cold. His gaze freezing.
Especially when it comes to Su Qingge's behavior. From start to end, she hadn't spoken a word.
She just stood there silently.
She even took the initiative to pour tea for Gu Chengge.
Ye Chen had saw all of it.
For the goddess that he loved and admired to actively serve another man. Ye Chen's heart felt like it was breaking.
Did she not see how, for her sake, he was willing to completely break with the Taixuan Holy Land?
It can be said that Ye Chen's heart right now was very cold indeed.
As for Su Qingge, it was impossible for her to not see Ye Chen's current expressions.
She knows that Ye Chen had misunderstood.
However, there was no way that she could allow the sect that raised her for over 20 years to fall into a crisis just for Ye Chen.
Thus, all she could do was lower her head, clench her fists, and studiously avoid Ye Chen's gaze.
"Holy Maiden Qingge. I head that tonight's moon will be quite beautiful. Would you be willing to honor me by accompanying me to a viewing tonight?"
However, at this moment, Gu Changge suddenly spoke up.
He had captured the expressions of both of them, so naturally he wouldn't let go of such a great opportunity.
Upon his handsome and unblemished face, he showed a gentle smile at just the right degree.
Those words made Su Qingge hesitate for a moment.
For a second, she had blushed. She was a bit startled by how nicely he was acting.
However, she soon realized Gu Changge's real intentions.
Her body shook.
Her face paled.
Especially given that Gu Changge's dark eyes had an obvious hint of playfulness to them.
Those words of his were spoken on purpose. He said them purposefully for Ye Chen to hear.
Su Qingge understood that full well.
The rest of the people in the main hall didn't realize though.
All of them admired her right now.
The Taixuan Holy Master showed his joy and tried to desperately signal his daughter with his eyes.
If this young lord really did become taken with her.
Even if she wasn't later taken to the upper realm.
At that point, it would still be an unparalleled opportunity for the entire Taixuan Holy Land. One can even call it ascension to glory with but a single step.
"Gu Changge. You're despicable. You're shameless. What's the point of pushing people around with authority? Push down your cultivation and have a fair match with me if you dare?"
"You shameless bastard. I'll definitely kill you one day!"
At this moment, Ye Chen's eyes turned red and screamed out like he was going mad.
Those words. Those actions. How could he possibly stand it.
And yet, Gu Chengge didn't say a word in response.
He simply lowered his gaze and took another sip of his tea. From start to end, he didn't so much as even glance up.,
Splosh…
Finally, Ye Chen couldn't stand such humiliation anymore. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
At that moment, a system message came.
"Ding! Ye Chen's mental state damaged. 100 Fortune Value lost. 500 Fate Points gained."
Hmm…
These Fate Points really are easy to earn.
Gu Changge sedately took another sip of tea
