“Now… it’s your turn.”
Chu Junge shifted his gaze to Li Fan and the others.
“Junge, Junge, I was momentarily blinded by foolishness. I was completely deceived by that disgrace, Li Fan!”
“I’ve now seen through it all. Only now do I truly remember what you’ve done for the sect, Junge. I am ashamed—truly ashamed.”
“Even though I was the one who brought you back to the sect… Even though I raised you… Even though I taught you techniques, gave you resources, and helped you become a strong cultivator who could stand tall…”
“But! None of that gives me the right to act so wildly toward you. It doesn’t excuse my reckless words. All the blame is mine alone. I only beg you, Junge, please grant me a chance to make things right.”
Liu Haitian choked up as he spoke, face full of guilt. After subtly reminding Chu Junge of his past kindness, he fell to his knees and cried out loudly.
“???”
Li Fan was struck like lightning.
Me? A disgrace?
Master, didn’t you say before that I was the hope of the sect?
“Yes, yes, Liu Haitian is right!”
“He speaks truth!”
“We were all deceived by that bastard Li Fan!”
“Junge, considering that we, your sect elders, have treated you well in the past, please just give us a chance!”
“Junge, I’m truly comforted to know you are the Young Master of the Imperial Clan. Even if I were to die today, I could die smiling.”
“Junge, it was all Li Fan’s fault! That wretched bastard caused all this misunderstanding. He deserves death a thousand times over!”
One by one, the elders of the sect scrambled to kneel and beg for mercy.
Li Fan’s face twisted in anguish, his eyes dazed.
“Brother Chu, I admit I was too close to Li Fan in the past, but it was all because he seduced me, manipulated me.”
“It wasn’t until you struck me several times that I truly woke up and realized how great you are, Brother Chu.”
“Besides, if we’re being honest, aren’t you partly to blame too? If you had shown me as much affection as Li Fan did, would I ever have gotten close to him?”
“And I am the daughter of the Sect Master. Even if my talent is a little weak, so what? How could you always urge me to cultivate harder?”
“Did you not know how annoying that was? It’s natural for you to be outstanding, and I only needed to be pretty and charming. So really, all of this is your fault.”
“Even though I was close to Li Fan, held his hand, and shared affection, the one I truly love is still you.”
“Brother Chu, please don’t be mad at me. I’ve truly changed.”
“From now on, I’ll cut all ties with Li Fan. I’m willing to be your fiancée. Let’s stay together, okay?”
Liu Yan’er pleaded in a tearful and pitiful tone.
Li Fan turned abruptly to look at Liu Yan’er, his eyes full of disbelief. He hadn’t expected her to betray him like this. Overwhelmed by rage, his body trembled violently, and his face flushed before he vomited blood on the spot.
“You! You all! Very good… good… just wonderful!”
Li Fan screamed toward the sky.
It hurt.
The kind of pain that made it hard to breathe.
[Ding! The female lead has betrayed the Child of Destiny due to the Host. The Child of Destiny’s luck has been damaged. Luck Points critical hit. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 3000 Luck Points.]
[Ding! The Child of Destiny has been forsaken by all due to the Host. His Destiny Aura has suffered a major blow. Luck Points critical hit. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 10000 Luck Points.]
Two mechanical prompts echoed in Chu Junge’s mind.
Thirteen thousand Luck Points!
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Chu Junge applauded slowly, his face full of admiration. “Marvelous… truly marvelous.”
Before Liu Haitian and the others could mistake this for hope and reveal joy on their faces, Chu Junge continued, “What a fine performance of dogs biting each other.”
As he spoke, Chu Junge shook his head, feeling it was truly not worth it for his former self.
To think such trash of a sect was something his previous self wanted to protect with his life?
Good thing he wasn’t that person anymore. He had no sense of morality and certainly no mercy.
So, it’s fine.
“Hah, what’s the point of currying favor now? Don’t worry. With how you all treated him, he’s not going to let you go.”
“Chu Junge, I’m not like these cowardly, despicable bastards. If you’ve got guts, kill me. Come on! Kill me!”
Li Fan sneered, lifting his head with disdain.
“Do you think you’re in any position to speak?”
With a single glance, Chu Junge made Li Fan vomit more blood and collapse to the ground.
“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you.”
Chu Junge spoke slowly as all those present looked on in despair.
Kill them outright?
That wouldn’t relieve his anger. It would be letting them off too easy!
Chu Junge knew better than anyone what had happened to his former self. Back when he was just a reader, he had no way to change anything—but now he was Chu Junge.
Of course he could get revenge.
They did it to him—he’d do the exact same to them.
And more importantly…
Chu Junge glanced at Li Fan, his eyes cold and mocking.
This Child of Destiny still had value that hadn’t been fully drained. He was going to squeeze every last drop out of him.
“You’re not going to kill us?”
Liu Haitian, Liu Yan’er, and the others were overjoyed. Their despair turned into renewed hope.
Thinking of Chu Junge’s Divine Body, his future as a mighty figure of the Human Race, and now his status as the Young Master of the Imperial Clan, their breathing grew heavy with excitement. Read this novel at novelping(.)com for the best experience.
“Of course… I knew it! With Chu Junge’s gentle and soft-hearted nature, how could he possibly harm us? He hasn’t changed after all! If that’s the case…”
The moment Liu Haitian thought he might be able to cling to the Imperial Clan, his eyes filled with fiery greed. The other sect elders also felt a wave of unrestrained joy.
A complete turnaround! What a twist of fate!
“Brother Chu, I knew a man like you wouldn’t hold grudges.”
Liu Yan’er burst into tears of joy.
“Third Uncle, is it possible to seal the entire area of the Star River Sect?”
Chu Junge no longer bothered with these disgusting people. He turned directly to Chu Bashan and asked.
“That’s nothing. I don’t even need to do it—Old Chen can handle it. Looks like you still want to have some fun. Go ahead. When you’re done, I’ll contact you again.”
“No rush, dear nephew. Take your time with your revenge. If word gets out and people think the Chu Clan is easy to bully, wouldn’t that be a disgrace?”
Chu Bashan smiled slyly. The playful, satisfied expression on his face made it clear that he knew Chu Junge was up to no good—and he didn’t mind at all. In fact, he was pleased.
If a member of the Chu Clan was just a punching bag, then what was the point of carrying that name?
Domineering?
That’s exactly how a Chu Clan member should act! Otherwise, their ancestors’ efforts would have been wasted!
“Good.”
Chu Junge smiled.
As Chu Bashan vanished, Chu Junge turned to the black-robed elder and bowed. “Elder Chen, I’ll trouble you.”
“Young Master, you’re too polite. For me, serving you is an honor. Whatever you wish to do, just give the order.”
Elder Chen responded kindly.
“Junge, what… what are you trying to do?”
Liu Haitian sensed something was wrong. He swallowed nervously and asked in a shaky voice.
“Didn’t you all want me to guard the Demon Cave?”
“Well then… I’ll leave the Demon Cave to you.”
“Don’t worry. The entire Star River Sect has been sealed—no one gets out. Don’t even think about running away. Good luck.”
With a mocking look in his eyes, Chu Junge spoke leisurely.
In the original plot, these bastards had framed him, slandered him, and accused him of releasing the Demon Race?
Fine then—let them have a taste of their own medicine.
Guard the Demon Cave?
Very well. You all can guard it.
Let them feel the same despair his previous self once felt.
And this… was only the beginning.
He would make sure these beasts died in utter despair.
