I told the female lead to die, and she cooperated.

Chu Xinghe nodded.

He sighed inwardly.

I really am a good person.

Look, I beat him up and sowed discord between him and his wives.

I made him offer up his treasure voluntarily, and he even has to thank me.

This fellow really is a good person.

[Child of Destiny has lost the eastern emperor bell. destiny value decreased by 200,000. Master has gained 20,000,000 destiny value.]

While Chu Xinghe was busy conning the eastern emperor bell away over here,

Over there, the disappointment in the eyes of Lu Yuan's wives grew even deeper.

Before, to save Face, he wouldn't let them notify their families.

This led to their families' destruction.

Now he wanted to use a Dao Artifact to trade for conditions, asking Chu Xinghe to help them.

So, only Chu Xinghe could make him bow his head.

As his wives, they weren't good enough, were they?

It was truly disgusting.

Besides, Chu Xinghe had even said that this eastern emperor bell was a troublesome matter.

This man immediately shirked responsibility when trouble arose, yet he still felt he was great.

The six of them looked at Lu Yuan with disgust in their eyes.

The System's notification sounds rang out continuously in Chu Xinghe's mind.

[Gu Qingyin and the Child of Destiny have developed a rift. Daughter of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 50,000; Child of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 80,000. Master has gained 10,000,000 destiny value.]

[Zhuang Yumian and the Child of Destiny have developed a rift. Daughter of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 40,000; Child of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 60,000. Master has gained 8,000,000 destiny value.]

[Liu Sangning and the Child of Destiny have developed a rift. Daughter of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 60,000; Child of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 50,000. Master has gained 9,000,000 destiny value.]

[Li Youyan and the Child of Destiny have developed a rift. Daughter of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 30,000; Child of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 30,000. Master has gained 4,000,000 destiny value.]

[Song Qingyu and the Child of Destiny have developed a rift. Daughter of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 50,000; Child of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 30,000. Master has gained 6,000,000 destiny value.]

[Shen Ruozhi and the Child of Destiny have developed a rift. Daughter of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 100,000; Child of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 70,000. Master has gained 15,000,000 destiny value.]

[Su Yunian is disappointed in the Child of Destiny. Daughter of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 50,000; Child of Destiny's destiny value decreased by 30,000. Master has gained 8,000,000 destiny value.]

Chu Xinghe heard the sounds ringing incessantly in his mind.

He was excited.

Harvesting big leeks really was something else.

In just this short while, he had gained another sixty million destiny value.

Unfortunately, everyone's impressions were different, so there were variations in the destiny value gained.

In just this brief moment, the accumulated harvest was nearly two small goals.

Who else could do this?

Chu Xinghe didn't dare relax.

There were still important things waiting for him to do.

If he succeeded in the next matter,

The Child of Destiny would be almost completely crippled.

He estimated that only a System would remain.

When the time came to dismantle his System,

He wondered if the System could exploit a loophole and give him some more good stuff.

How long had it been?

The Child of Destiny's two million destiny value now only had 1.05 million left.

He had to keep up the good work.

"Go find someone to dispose of the little bell."

Chu Xinghe suddenly spoke up at this point.

"No, find someone to leave with the little bell first to divert others' attention."

"We'll take people to visit their families; it can be considered my contribution."

"As for what to do later, that will depend on you all."

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, he looked at the Lu Family Old Ancestor.

"Senior Lu, take Lu Yuan and go on ahead to Miss Gu's home first."

The Lu Family Old Ancestor nodded.

However, as he walked past Chu Xinghe,

Something extra appeared in his hand.

After sensing the energy on it, he realized it was a Medicinal Pill.

The kindness he owed this man was growing more and more.

The Lu Family Old Ancestor felt melancholy.

Old Ancestor, the person you befriended is very good and keeps his promises.

But in the end, it is my Lu Family's descendant who is like rotten wood that cannot be carved.

He also understood Chu Xinghe's intention.

Letting them go ahead first

Was to leave them space to talk.

To let him persuade Lu Yuan.

If he continued to be obstinate and foolish, even a god would find him hard to save.

Once, twice, but not a third time.

Chu Xinghe had already given Lu Yuan two chances.

If he didn't grasp this third chance,

He estimated that no one would be willing to help their Lu Family ever again.

He truly regretted bringing Lu Yuan out.

Bringing out any other talented Disciple would likely have been much better than this.

Regret was useless now.

He had to finish the path he chose, even if he had to do it on his knees.

After the Lu Family Old Ancestor left with Lu Yuan,

Chu Xinghe turned around to look at the seven of them.

"I sympathize with you. Originally, I didn't want to interfere in your affairs, but in you, I see shadows of my former self."

The seven of them remained silent.

They only looked at Chu Xinghe with gratitude.

"Next, there are two choices."

Hearing Chu Xinghe's words, the seven of them turned serious.

Dragon One was equally curious.

He wondered what kind of wicked idea his Master was going to come up with now.

"The first choice is that after I take you home once, my task will be complete. From then on, our paths diverge; I don't want to be killed by an idiot."

Hearing Chu Xinghe call Lu Yuan an idiot, several of them agreed quite strongly.

Not a single person refuted it.

To sacrifice loved ones for the sake of Face—if that wasn't an idiot, what was?

"The second choice requires you to cooperate with me in a play."

The seven of them exchanged glances.

Su Yunian didn't speak; she knew it must be targeted at Brother Lu Yuan.

She was a bit disappointed in him, but she didn't want Brother Lu Yuan to be harmed either.

Gu Qingyin looked at Su Yunian.

"If you don't want to listen, you can step away."

With Gu Qingyin speaking up, the remaining five all looked at Su Yunian.

Su Yunian's mouth twitched.

"I can listen. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

After Su Yunian finished, she lowered her head.

Seeing this, the other six had disgust in their eyes.

It was like this again.

Always pretending to be pitiful.

To have lived safely for so many years under a gambling addict father,

Without a single problem occurring—how could she possibly be as simple as she appeared on the surface?

Using this act on Lu Yuan was fine.

But against the six of them? She could forget about it.

"This condition of mine is for your own good, and also for Lu Yuan's good."

"You must think it through carefully."

The seven of them nodded with solemn expressions.

"I will find someone to kidnap you and use you to threaten Lu Yuan."

"Let's see who he chooses."

"I know this condition is a bit demanding, even a bit despicable."

Chu Xinghe was about to explain further.

Shen Ruozhi had already spoken to interrupt him.

"Fine, I'll cooperate. I also want to see who he actually loves—is it us, or himself?"

"Young Master, I understand your thinking. Our goal as a group is too large. Lu Yuan is very naive right now, acting willfully and unable to let go of Face."

"Only through loss will there be appreciation."

"If he can strive for improvement, then this plan can be considered a good thing."

"If he doesn't care about our lives at all, it means we were blind, and there's no need to follow such a piece of trash."

Chu Xinghe nodded.

As expected of a Prince's daughter; she had already thought of the excuse for me.

"However, for the play to be realistic, I will have a Supreme Expert cooperate. It might require you to fake your deaths."

The six of them looked at each other and nodded.

"We agree."

Su Yunian was also a bit curious about who Lu Yuan would choose.

"I agree too."
