cTarget—The Child of Destiny, Lin Qingdi
At this moment, Gu Yuxian and the elders of the Primordial Holy Domain had completely lost their usual dignified demeanor. Their eyes gleamed with gossip-fueled excitement.
Leading the group, Gu Yuxian wore a radiant smile and stared directly at Lin Yu, “Hehe, so, you two… settled everything?”
She shot Lin Yu and Gu Ling’er a knowing look. Behind her, the other elders rubbed their hands together in anticipation.
Lin Yu and Gu Ling’er felt their hearts sink. Damn it… did they hear our entire conversation?!
They broke out in a cold sweat. If their identities as transmigrators were exposed, they could very well lose their heads! These powerful cultivators might just decide to dissect them for research.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and pulled Gu Ling’er back a few steps, eyes wary, “What do you want?”
He looked serious on the surface, but internally, he was spamming the system, Quick, godfather system, give me a life-saving treasure or something!
Gu Ling’er was even more panicked, hiding behind Lin Yu and scanning for the best escape route.
Their reaction, however, was entirely misunderstood by Gu Yuxian and the elders.
Gu Yuxian’s face bloomed like a flower as she showed an aunt-like grin, “Look at them! Just look at them! Such a perfect match! A pair made in heaven!”
Holding hands right in front of the elders… how deep must their feelings be?
“Pick a good day. We’ll go to the Ninefold Sacred Domain!” Gu Yuxian made her decision. It was time to reopen the marriage alliance talks.
But Lin Yu nearly had a heart attack hearing that. Shit! They really did hear everything… and now they want to visit the Ninefold Sacred Domain and expose me!
“Run!”
Gu Ling’er shouted and took off with Lin Yu, hand in hand, fleeing wildly out of the Primordial Holy Domain.
Run! Faster! If they got caught, their heads might not stay attached!
Lin Yu shouted, “Godfather System! Give me a Speed Talisman!”
With a whoosh, the two vanished into the sky, leaving behind only two tiny stars.
Gu Yuxian and the elders stared, dumbfounded. “Did… did they just elope?!”
A clan elder stomped his foot in a panic, “Ayya! The Saintess must’ve misunderstood! She probably thought we’d make things difficult for Lin Yu, so she ran away with him!”
This was a disaster! Gu Ling’er was the pride of their domain, a Heaven-Blessed Genius they hadn’t seen in 10,000 years—their future hope! They couldn’t let her get away!
Gu Yuxian tried to chase, but Lin Yu was already long gone. She shouted, “Quick! Spread the word—we, the Primordial Holy Domain, have forgiven Lin Yu! Tell him to return our Saintess!”
Why the hell did that brat run so fast?!
…
Meanwhile, Lin Yu and Gu Ling’er had already fled over 150,000 kilometers. Only after confirming no one was following did they finally exhale in relief. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping . com.
Gu Ling’er was on the verge of tears, “Lin Yu, what do we do now? If we get caught, won’t they slice us open and study us?!”
Lin Yu’s face was grim too.
There was no going back to the Ninefold Sacred Domain now. He never imagined they’d be exposed so soon.
Then suddenly, Lin Yu’s eyes lit up, “Got it! As if I’d fall so easily. Come on—let’s seize the Luck!”
He remembered that based on the original plot, the true Child of Destiny who was supposed to be paired with Su Yao was about to appear.
If he could squeeze out that Child of Destiny’s fortune and steal his fate, Lin Yu could replace him and become the one protected by the Heavenly Dao!
“Follow me!” Lin Yu didn’t explain much. A sly grin spread across his face as he led Gu Ling’er in a certain direction.
…
30,000 kilometers away!
A flash of firelight crashed from the sky without warning, slamming into the mountains with a deafening boom!
“Hahahahaha! I, Lin Qingdi, am still alive! I didn’t die!”
A disheveled young man stood up from a massive crater, laughing coldly, “Fengtian Emperor! Yao Emperor! Just you wait! When I return to my peak, I’ll chop off both your heads!”
He was Lin Qingdi—the Child of Destiny in the original novel and Su Yao’s destined immortal companion!
As the supreme leader of the demon race from the Heavenly Realm, Lin Qingdi’s cultivation was immeasurable. He was a true Emperor Realm powerhouse.
In the original plot, Lin Qingdi sensed the limit of the realm and tried to break through beyond the Emperor Realm. However, he was betrayed by an old friend and fell into this continent, starting a counterattack life.
Eventually, he and Su Yao fell in love and charged into the Heavenly Realm, becoming invincible immortal overlords across the heavens and earth!
From behind a large boulder in the distance, Gu Ling’er peeked with a shocked expression, “That guy… is he Lin Qingdi? The demon race sovereign and Su Yao’s original match?”
Lin Yu nodded with a wicked grin, “But this time, he’ll be nothing more than my toy.”
A sinister plan began brewing in his mind.
“Who’s there?!”
Lin Qingdi’s laughter suddenly stopped. He spun around, scanning the area. Just now, he had clearly heard someone speaking.
There was even a faint feeling… like someone was watching him.
After a while, he relaxed and laughed at himself, “I must be too paranoid. For now, the most important thing is to recover my strength!”
He didn’t think too much about it. Calming his mind, he looked in a direction, “First, I’ll intimidate a local clan, get some resources, and rebuild my base.”
Right now, he had lost all his cultivation. All that remained was his knowledge of past techniques and secret arts. He planned to find someone who recognized his value and make a small display of power. New chapters come out on novelping dot com first.
From the distance, Lin Yu watched as Lin Qingdi walked away, then stepped out with a grin, “If I’m not mistaken, that guy should be heading to the Sun Clan in Wangtian City to show off.”
In the original novel, Lin Qingdi’s first stop was a city called Wangtian City. Though small, it was where his counterattack began.
According to the plot, after entering Wangtian City, Lin Qingdi would see a help-wanted notice from the Sun Clan. He’d go there to treat their patriarch, get doubted at first, then shock everyone with his abilities.
Eventually, he’d gain admiration and be hailed as Master Lin.
But now that Lin Yu knew the script, there was no way he’d let Lin Qingdi steal the spotlight!
…
In Wangtian City!
The streets bustled with noise. Vendors lined the roads. Lin Qingdi immediately spotted a notice posted at the city gate.
He narrowed his eyes, “The patriarch of one of Wangtian City’s four great clans—the Sun Clan—is critically injured?”
A smug smile spread across his face, “Perfect timing. Not only am I powerful, but my medical skills are unparalleled. Looks like this Sun Clan will be my first stepping stone!”
Without hesitation, he tore down the notice and walked toward the Sun residence.
At that moment, Lin Yu and Gu Ling’er had already arrived ahead of him. They exchanged a glance and smirked, “Let the plan begin.”
In the next second, Lin Yu used a disguise technique to transform into an old man.
Supported by Gu Ling’er, he suddenly collapsed in front of the Sun residence gate.
“Old sir! What happened to you?!”
Several Sun Clan guards rushed over in alarm to help him, “What’s going on?”
Lin Yu didn’t speak, only groaning in fake agony.
Gu Ling’er burst into tears, sobbing and sniffling, “It’s all because of that so-called Qingdi—he claimed to be some great healer, but he’s a conman! He turned my grandpa into an idiot!”
The Sun Clan guards gasped, “Whoa, that bad?”
Gu Ling’er nodded seriously and helped Lin Yu up, gratefully saying, “Please, big brothers, be careful around that scammer.”
With that, she helped Lin Yu totter away.
But just after they left…
Lin Qingdi confidently walked up to the Sun residence and held out the notice, declaring, “Go inform your patriarch—his illness has a cure. With me, Lin Qingdi, taking action, not even the King of Hell can take him!”
He waited, expecting admiration and applause.
Instead, the faces of the Sun Clan guards instantly darkened.
“You… what the hell did you just say your name was?!”
