Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: The Rift Between Lin Feng and Ning Xian Chapter 47: The Rift Between Lin Feng and Ning Xian “I’m fine.

I’ll just take another pill…” Jiang Chen murmured, his voice faint.

Having said that, he activated his divine sense to open his storage bracelet.

Instantly, a pill rolled out.

Ning Xian watched Jiang Chen struggle to grab the pill.

She quickly intervened, saying, “Let me help you!” and deftly took the pill, giving it to Jiang Chen.

Out of nowhere, a loud yell, “No!!” boomed throughout the entire Vast Spirit House.

“Who’s that…?” Jiang Chen wondered aloud, feigning effort as he turned his head.

“Lin Feng!” Ning Xian gasped in surprise, spotting Lin Feng at the entrance.

“Lin Feng, didn’t I tell you to get out of here!” Qiu Liaoxi spoke up weakly.

Lin Feng ignored Qiu Liaoxi’s words and simply gazed at Jiang Chen and Ning Xian, his eyes wide with shock.

“You two…” he stammered, his voice trembling slightly.

“What’s wrong with us?” Ning Xian retorted, a frown creasing her forehead.

“Jiang Chen is seriously hurt and can’t move.

What’s wrong with me giving him a medicinal pill?” She quickly realized what Lin Feng was implying.

Was he upset because she had given the pill to Jiang Chen?

“Heh,” Lin Feng let out a sardonic laugh, “What’s wrong?

Haven’t I warned you before not to trust Jiang Chen completely?” “But I didn’t expect you two to become this close!” he spat out bitterly, grinding his teeth.

“Lin Feng, that’s enough!” Ning Xian exclaimed, her beautiful face flushed with anger.

“I never thought you’d be this kind of person!” “I’m just giving Jiang Chen a medicinal pill!

Besides, I have no ties to you, so why do you feel entitled to get so worked up?!” she continued, her voice tinged with disappointment in Lin Feng.

She and her master had barely survived, and Jiang Chen had nearly lost his life trying to save them.

But Lin Feng, rather than asking about their condition, stormed in, expressing disbelief and even displaying a mocking, self-deprecating look while grinding his teeth in anger.

Naturally, Ning Xian was furious.

“Why did you disappear after Jiang Chen helped you deal with the Zhou Clan?

Why didn’t you come back even once?!” she demanded.

“And where were you when we were attacked?!” Ning Xian pressed on.

“If Jiang Chen hadn’t shown up in time to save both Master and me, our survival would have been in doubt.” “Lin Feng, what’s your excuse?!” she challenged him.

At that moment, system notifications echoed in Jiang Chen’s mind.

[Ding!

You have successfully caused Ning Xian’s impression of the protagonist Lin Feng to plummet to an all-time low.

Lin Feng’s Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 200 points!] [Ding!

You have gained 300 Villain Value points!] ‘Only to an all-time low?’ Jiang Chen pondered internally.

‘Does this mean Lin Feng still has a chance to redeem himself?

Should I aim to make Ning Xian’s view of Lin Feng drop to a negative level?’ he quietly mused to himself.

Still rooted at the entrance, Lin Feng was speechless, his throat tight with emotion and his heart aching painfully.

After struggling for what seemed like an eternity, he finally managed to express his distress, murmuring, “I…

I got the news and rushed here as fast as I could, but someone held me up…” “Stopped by someone?” Jiang Chen interrupted, asking faintly, “You handled that person, right?

Are you hurt?” Lin Feng’s heart skipped at Jiang Chen’s words, realizing the pettiness of his own reaction.

But he couldn’t admit it.

Overwhelmed by a stifling sense of frustration that threatened to overwhelm him, he was filled with a turmoil that had no outlet.

“He’s asking you a question, are you ignoring us?!” Ning Xian, still visibly angry, demanded indignantly.

In her mind, if Lin Feng weren’t a disciple of Qiu Liaoxi, she wouldn’t bother with him at all.

Lin Feng’s face tensed momentarily; he swallowed his pain and answered, “I got a minor injury.

The guy who stopped me, I couldn’t beat him-he was a Mysterious Platform realm cultivator.” “During the fight, he suddenly took off, letting me go,” he added.

“Mysterious Platform realm?!

If he was after you, why did he just let you go?” Ning Xian questioned skeptically, shaking her head with a disbelieving smile.

“It’s because,” Lin Feng began, his voice low and evidently reluctant, “I’m associated with Jiang Chen.

Those people didn’t want to provoke the Jiang Clan after reaching an agreement to stay out of each other’s business, so they just held me up without killing me.” With this revelation, it became clear to the master-disciple pair that Lin Feng now owed Jiang Chen another significant debt.

“So it was Jiang Chen who saved you again,” Ning Xian remarked, a glimmer of realization dawning on her face.

She then sharply turned to look at Jiang Chen and asked, “Ah!

Jiang Chen, did you just break the agreement between the Jiang Clan and those people by saving us?” “It’s nothing, you guys matter more than any agreement,” Jiang Chen reassured softly, a sincere smile gracing his face.

“Besides, dealing with those with bad intentions is just asking for trouble…” he continued.

“Jiang Chen…

Thank you!” Ning Xian interjected, cutting off Jiang Chen, her eyes brimming with tears, clearly moved by his actions.

[Ding!

Ning Xian’s fondness for you has increased, while Lin Feng’s Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 100 points!] [Ding!

You have gained 200 points of Villain Value!] Jiang Chen’s heart swelled with satisfaction as system notifications reverberated in his mind.

Meanwhile, witnessing this scene, Lin Feng felt as if he was about to explode with emotion.

Suddenly, a flash of realization struck him, causing his eyes to widen as he stared intently at Jiang Chen and declared, “I understand now!” This outburst immediately caused Ning Xian to furrow her brows in confusion, and even Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“Lin Feng, what have you realized?” Qiu Liaoxi, who had remained quiet until now, asked with a hint of exasperation.

She, too, felt a sense of disappointment towards her disciple.

“This was all Jiang Chen’s doing,” Lin Feng accused, his gaze icy as he looked at Jiang Chen.

“Your Jiang Clan made a deal with those people, but you broke it when they acted.

You wanted to see me dead, using that Mysterious Platform realm cultivator to try and get rid of me.” “Think about it,” he continued, “if that cultivator knew about your clan breaking the deal, he would definitely come after me.

But your plan backfired.

He didn’t kill me; he just backed off.” “Your real target must be Ning Xian and my master,” Lin Feng concluded, his theory seeming plausible.

“Hmph.” Jiang Chen scoffed and shook his head, his face showing clear disappointment as he said, “Lin Feng, I really didn’t expect you to think so poorly of me.” “If I really wanted you dead, I wouldn’t have helped you when the Zhou Clan falsely accused you.

Wouldn’t it have been easier for me to just make things worse for you?” he pointed out.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi could clearly see the unjust bias and hostility directed towards Jiang Chen.

Ning Xian looked at Lin Feng with a mix of disbelief and displeasure, saying, “I can’t believe you’re so small-minded that you’d make up accusations against Jiang Chen after he saved your life.” “I really regret agreeing to let my master take you as a disciple.” she added, before pointing to the door and shouting angrily, “From now on, I want nothing to do with you.

Get out!” [Ding!

You have successfully caused Ning Xian and Lin Feng to sever ties.

Lin Feng’s Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 200 points!] [Ding!

You have gained 300 points of Villain Value!] As these notifications echoed in his mind, Jiang Chen’s heart soared with triumph.

Yet, he kept up a facade of deep disappointment as he looked at Lin Feng.

“Ning Xian!” Lin Feng protested, his lips trembling and his face suddenly contorting with intense fury.

“I’m telling the truth!” “Jiang Chen has been scheming from the start!” he insisted, his outburst growing increasingly desperate.

“Enough!

I don’t want to hear any more!” Ning Xian snapped, her voice icy as she looked at Lin Feng with growing contempt.
