2: The divorce plot is coming

In the end, what he was bound to was some kind of villain System, and it gave him a bunch of tags.

Tell me, what does 'short-lived appearance' mean? I am a Son of Destiny!

And that 'ill-fated' tag—a Son of Destiny usually has one such tag: either both parents die, or both parents are supreme kings. In any case, it's extremely rough, as seen from his early life.

As if one 'ill-fated' tag wasn't enough, you had to give me a second one!

No! Absolutely not!

A Son of Destiny plus a fated villain—what does that make me?

"Bro! Believe me! Although this is my first time assisting a Son of Destiny, I guarantee you'll stand above the Heavenly Dao!"

"Me stand above the Heavenly Dao? Stand above your sister! What is a Son of Destiny? Tell me, what does it mean to be a Son of Destiny? Why would I want to go against the Heavenly Dao?"

"Trust me! I won't let you down! The Newcomer Gift Pack, right? Wait for me!"

"?"

After saying that, the System disappeared without a trace. After a while, Lin Ye finally heard a System notification sound.

Ding-dong...

Your System has gone to rob... no, to debate the Dao...

In the middle of debating the Dao...

One percent...

Lin Ye listened to the System's electronic notification sound, dumbfounded.

If I'm not mistaken, that notification just said 'rob'?! It was definitely robbing! As expected, this is no proper System.

Forget it!

I still need to figure out how to get that old man out of this ring.

With that thought, Lin Ye used the meager spiritual Qi he had left and continuously infused it into the ring, trying to awaken the old man inside.

...

Meanwhile, in the reception hall of the Lin Family.

Lin Zhentian, the Lin Family Head, had a grave expression on his face.

Across from him was a young, beautiful woman. A blue flowing-cloud dress accentuated her perfect figure. She wore her hair in a Phoenix-facing bun, with a delicate silver hairpin studded with emerald and pearls slanting through the top.

Her snow-white skin gave her an ethereal temperament, but her beautiful face was now covered in frost.

Beside the woman stood an old man who appeared to have extraordinary cultivation.

She was none other than Tang Xueqin, the Young Miss of the Tang Family in Yu City. She and Lin Ye had been betrothed in childhood. Because Lin Ye possessed the Innate Dao Bone, Tang Xueqin, despite her high talent, had never been courted by the top Sects.

Helpless, the head of the Tang Family had been constantly pushing Lin Ye and his daughter together, all for the sake of letting the Tang Family soar to the sky.

Unexpectedly, a few years ago Lin Ye's Dao Bone was dug out, making him a cripple, while his own daughter's talent gradually came to light.

In fact, a major Sect was willing to accept her as a Personal Disciple.

That being the case, the engagement to a cripple naturally became a shackle. To avoid any entanglement, the Tang Family Head directly sent his daughter with their family elder to annul the engagement!

"Lin Family Head, I think you also know that your Young Master is no longer worthy of our Young Miss. For the sake of mutual dignity, my master sent me to accompany the Young Miss here."

"I also hope that the Lin Family Head can be straightforward and annul the marriage between them. After all, your son... tsk tsk tsk..."

The Lin Family was no longer what it used to be. With Tang Xueqin being favored by a major Sect, when one attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Even a Tang Family elder dared to speak to the Lin Family Head like this.

"..."

Lin Zhentian remained silent, his body trembling slightly. Clearly, the other party's contempt for his son made him furious, but at this moment, he had to bow his head. The major Sect had already sent people beforehand to threaten him, forcing him to annul the marriage.

Oh, Lin Ye, your father is incompetent. I'm sorry for you...

"This... regarding the annulment, the Lin Family agrees."

After saying this, Lin Zhentian seemed to have aged several years. He slowly took out a marriage certificate from his bosom and placed it on the table.

"This is the marriage certificate. Take it and leave."

"Heh heh... Thank you, Lin Family Head."

The elder placed the marriage certificate in his bosom and continued with a false smile: "But I still have one more request: that your son come out and personally state that the matter with our Young Miss is over. Otherwise, I'm afraid he might make a fuss."

Bang!!!

Lin Zhentian slapped his palm on the table.

The valuable wooden table immediately split into pieces.

"You've gone too far! I've already agreed to annul the engagement. What's the point of calling Lin Ye out?! Do you think he would continue to pester you? The men of the Lin Family are not so shameless!"

Facing Lin Zhentian's anger, the Tang Family elder didn't let the conflict escalate. He still smiled and said: "Regarding the marriage contract, after all, your son is the one involved. Let him come out."

"You..."

Lin Zhentian sensed the implicit threat in the other's words. He wished he could strike him dead on the spot, but if he really did that, the entire Lin Family, old and young, would likely vanish completely.

After thinking for a moment, he let out a deep sigh and said in a hoarse voice: "Fine, I'll take you to him!"

With that, Lin Zhentian didn't even glance at them and walked off towards the backyard on his own.

Tang Xueqin and the Tang Family elder followed closely behind.

The reason satisfaction flowed from Tang Xueqin's beautiful eyes was entirely because when she was a child, she had always followed Lin Ye around, but Lin Ye had ignored her.

Think about it, it's normal. A transmigrator—would they be interested in a little kid like you?

But Tang Xueqin didn't know that. Love turning into hate—that was her current mindset.

She wanted to see with her own eyes how that once proud young Prodigy looked when he was furious. Only this way could her mind be put at ease.

In the backyard.

At that moment, Lin Ye was studying the information that appeared in his mind.

Ding-dong...

Your System has successfully returned!

Congratulations! You have obtained the Villain System...

Congratulations! You have obtained the Sign in System...

Congratulations! You have obtained the Newcomer Sign in Gift Pack...

...

Listening to the notification sounds in his mind, Lin Ye was about to say something when he heard his own Villain System's panting voice: "No, no, brother, I gave you the gift pack, and I even added a Sign in function for you! There, is this good enough now?"

"Added? How did you add it?"

"Nonsense. I, an impressive System with serial number 0000001, could I lack means? Anyway, I have the Sign in function now! Stop dawdling. Open your Newcomer Gift Pack and give it a try."

"Open the Newcomer Gift Pack."

Ding-dong...

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a special Physique: the Innate Dao Body...

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a talent: Sword Heart Clarity...

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Magic Treasure: the white jade sword box...

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained cultivation: the Golden Core stage...

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Cultivation Technique: the Pacifying Chaos Sword Art...

...

Good heavens, a whole good heavens. Physique, talent, Magic Treasure, cultivation, and technique—all given to me?

Is this a Newcomer Gift Pack? Are you sure it's given to me without having to recharge?

"Did you, System, go rob someone just now? Where did all these good things come from?"

"Just tell me if I'm good enough or not!" The System said arrogantly.

"You're more than good enough. You..."

...

Because he had been completely immersed in the System, Lin Ye hadn't noticed that the three people outside had already approached him.
