Chapter 113 Qin Hao: I finally felt something for you, but you made me lose so completely.

Lin Xiao swept his gaze over the shocked crowd, a stampede of ten thousand alpacas galloping through his mind.

Are you serious? You're just going to let a Foundation Establishment Stage junior point at your noses and finish his tirade?

However, he quickly figured it out.

As everyone knows, besides debuffs like 'Sacrificing Relatives to the Heavens' and 'Aura of Mass Taunt and Slander,' the Son of Luck also comes with certain perks.

One of those buffs is 'Listen to Me Finish My Words.'

When a Son of Luck utters ruthless threats, shouts slogans, or delivers a declaration of justice, they automatically enter an untargetable state.

During this time, all villains and bystanders can only widen their eyes and act as competent background scenery.

Looking at the youth whose face was filled with rage and whose nails were dug deep into his palms, Lin Xiao subconsciously marveled:

"To be able to execute a 'Glinting Flash' so inadvertently, it seems this person's Realm has already reached the legendary 'Ultra Instinct Glint'!"

Sure enough, it was only after Qin Hao finished his threats that the crowd reacted with a delayed realization.

A mere junior dared to publicly accuse the high-level members of the Qin Family and the Lord Saint!

If it weren't for the fact that Qin Hao's parents sacrificed themselves for the Qin Family, and that Qin Hao was the only Bloodline left by the Qin Yun couple, Qin Zhan would have slapped him to death long ago.

The various Family Elders all looked at Qin Hao with expressions as if they were looking at a fool.

The Grand Elder of the Qin Family sat upright in his grand chair, looking at the chest-puffing Qin Hao and then at the ashen-faced Qin Zhan, feeling a wave of schadenfreude in his heart.

If Qin Zhan executed Qin Hao in public, it would be equivalent to personally erasing the last Bloodline of the Qin Family's hero; he would surely be criticized by the clansmen and lose their support in the future.

If he didn't execute Qin Hao and only gave some symbolic punishment, and if the Saint were to get angry and leave in a huff, the Qin Family would lose its final protective umbrella and surely face a disaster of total destruction.

By then, as the Family Head, Qin Zhan would also be unable to escape the blame.

Right now, no matter what he chose, it seemed to be wrong.

The Grand Elder lowered his eyelids to hide the smile in his eyes and remained silent, wanting to see what choice Qin Zhan would make.

Qin Zhan's expression was unsightly, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

On one side was the internal unity of the Qin Family, and on the other was the inviolable, supreme Divine Might of the Primordial Holy Land.

Usually shrewd and calculating, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness and despair at this moment.

He quietly glanced at Lin Xiao, whose face was calm, showing no sign of joy or anger.

But it was precisely this unpredictable silence that gave him unprecedented pressure.

"Forget it," Qin Zhan sighed inwardly.

"If anyone uses this to criticize me in the future, at worst, I'll just give up this position of Family Head."

"My Qin Family was once a great clan of the Central Province. I don't ask for the Family to regain its former glory in my hands, but the foundation of the Qin Family for tens of thousands of years must not be buried in the hands of me, Qin Zhan!"

Thinking of this, Qin Zhan suddenly clenched his fists, and Killing Intent surged in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Brother Qin Yun. For the sake of the Family, today I can only destroy your only Bloodline."

At the same time.

[Ding! Since the host has changed the timeline, causing the Son of Luck, Qin Hao, to face a life-and-death crisis ahead of time, please make the following choice:]

[1. Indifference: Allow Qin Zhan to kill Qin Hao, letting the Luck return to the Heavenly Dao. Reward: None]

[2. Strike First: Personally kill Qin Hao. Reward: 100,000 villain points]

[3. Mastermind Behind the Scenes: Prevent Qin Zhan from killing Qin Hao, allowing him to continue to shine. Reward: Bloodline Awakening Cultivation Technique 'Heart-Burning Emotion-Extinguishing Art']

['Heart-Burning Emotion-Extinguishing Art': A forbidden technique created by an ancient tragic rogue Cultivator. Using the end of emotions, the death of the heart, and the parting of love as catalysts, it awakens the hidden Bloodline within the body. It is a heartless technique to change one's fate against the heavens.]

[When the practitioner's beloved or obsessed love interest shifts their affection to another, falls into someone else's embrace, or their body and soul are possessed by another, a towering fire of jealousy, grief, and despair will ignite in the practitioner's heart. The technique will automatically operate, and the Bloodline Power will awaken accordingly. The more complete the betrayal and the deeper the obsession with love, the more terrifying the power of the awakened Bloodline.]

Lin Xiao looked at the three options before him and fell into a brief contemplation.

First of all, Option One was definitely excluded.

As for Option Two, killing a Son of Luck already provided a fixed 100,000 villain points; he had already verified this with Ye Bufan and Chu Tian, and he could kill them at any time.

If he killed the Son of Luck prematurely, it would mean giving up the chance to intercept the other's Opportunities.

After all, Lin Xiao currently only knew that the Qin Family's ancestral jade pendant could open the Legacy left by the Qin Family ancestors in the Central Province.

As for the specific location of the Legacy and the method to open it, he knew nothing.

"But Option Three rewards a cuckold technique. Isn't this a pure debuff? I don't have that kind of fetish..." Lin Xiao grumbled inwardly.

[Ding! Warm reminder: The Cultivation Technique rewarded by the System is not mandatory to practice; the host can gift it to others!]

These words from the System were like a wake-up call to a dreamer.

Lin Xiao looked at Qin Hao's empty head and decided to give him a big gift.

Seeing that Qin Zhan was about to strike, Lin Xiao suddenly put down his teacup and looked toward him.

"Family Head Qin, are the words this little brother said true?"

Facing Lin Xiao's questioning, Qin Zhan quickly restrained his Killing Intent and explained urgently:

"To answer the Lord Saint, this is just the wild speculation of this brat; it cannot be taken seriously!"

The Family Elders on both sides also stood up and bowed in agreement.

"Yes, even if we were given a hundred times the courage, we wouldn't dare to plot against you, My Lord!"

Lin Xiao didn't speak, just quietly looked at them.

The sense of pressure intensified manifold.

Just then, Qin Wanyu to the side seemed to have made some kind of decision.

Under everyone's stunned gazes.

She flicked her skirt, bent her knees, and then knelt heavily before Lin Xiao, taking the initiative to confess:

"Lord Saint, this matter has nothing to do with my father and the Elders."

"After that brief glimpse at Longyuan last time, Wanyu fell in love with the Lord Saint at first sight. After returning to the Family, I was unable to sleep at night, wanting to see the Lord Saint again at every moment."

"Perhaps the heavens took pity on me and gave me another chance. Faced with the Lord Saint's sudden visit, Wanyu was overjoyed."

"I knew the Lord Saint would not stay for long, so I used my life to threaten my father to arrange for you to stay in my courtyard."

Hearing this, Qin Zhan also reacted immediately.

He lowered his head in tandem, letting out a long sigh, putting on the posture of a helpless and heartbroken father.

Qin Wanyu's forehead was pressed tightly against the ground, her voice sobbing:

"During these three days, I deliberately looked for various opportunities to approach the Saint, but it was actually only to relieve my lovesickness!"

"If the Saint wants to punish, then just punish Wanyu alone!"

This emotional speech, paired with her red-rimmed eyes and pitiful appearance.

Never mind the high-level members of the Qin Family, even Lin Xiao, who was used to boasting without a script, was stunned by what he heard.

He even had the illusion of instantly turning from the plaintiff into the defendant.

*Crack!*

In the great hall, Qin Hao's Dao Heart cracked.

He didn't expect that after risking being expelled from the Qin Family to speak out for justice, what he got in return was Wanyu's public confession to Lin Xiao.

Every word the other party said was like a sharp blade, stabbing ruthlessly into his heart.

Qin Hao's legs went soft, and he fell dejectedly to the ground, looking like a clown.

"It was not easy for me to move my heart once, yet you made me lose so completely."

"Hahahaha..."

"Damn it!"

[Ding! Detected that the host caused the Son of Luck Qin Hao's Dao Heart to be damaged, villain points +1000]

"Holy crap? No, I haven't even exerted any strength yet!"

Lin Xiao was between tears and laughter; he hadn't done anything, yet 1000 villain points had actively come to his door.

If he actually did something, wouldn't it be incredible?
