Chapter 484 -486: Triggering a Pursuit Event

“Even the Main Character Aura can be negative; it seems that trying to kill the protagonist to seize their opportunities is useless. The only way is to nurture them into oblivion, that’s the correct path.”

Qin Muye couldn’t help but think that if he really went to snatch the protagonist’s opportunities, it would lead to the protagonist’s Luck getting a positive boost. Naturally, the source of that boost would come from the person seizing the opportunities, where else could it be deducted from?

On the contrary, someone like Qin Muye who pushes things forward prematurely is an unparalleled disaster for the protagonist.

Opportunities are just a part of the protagonist, not their entirety, and what he did was to deprive the protagonist of many experiences.

Some protagonists are able to overpower higher-level foes and even survive life-and-death situations. Their own opportunities are merely catalysts; more importantly, they grow rapidly by absorbing various experiences through the struggles in the process of obtaining those opportunities.

In a world where the strong are honored, a protagonist with a disadvantaged start must have tremendous combat experiences to overpower those favored by heaven.

Otherwise, what right does he have, just because he’s lucky?

The protagonist is like a spring, the harder you press, the stronger they rebound. But if you keep pulling them up until they can’t take it anymore, they’ll just burst.”

“Indeed, the Main Character Identity is a curse. No wonder I never had the Main Character Aura each time I possessed the Main Character Identity. If I did, I could cause a disaster in the world without even leaving my house.”

At that moment, Xiao Fan was busy making Medicine Pills from all the herbs; after all, the raw herbs weren’t the final product. Once done, he would have to hurry back to the academy.

It seemed like some major academy tournament was about to start.

Qin Muye noted that it was typical for the protagonist to encounter various tournaments. He felt that this must be Xiao Fan’s chance to show off and slap faces.

Only… if he could survive the journey back.

That’s because Qin Muye’s temporary Skill, Vortex Center, had already been triggered. As long as he, the supporting character, stayed away from the protagonist for a while, it would trigger a plot development.

One thing was certain, the people coming were from the Huang Family, the largest clan in Nanliang State.

After all, the direct heir of the Huang Family as well as the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Mystical Sword Sect were dead. These two were significant figures in their respective factions, and their untimely deaths wouldn’t just be overlooked easily.

However, the Mystical Sword Sect was currently dealing with the Azure Dragon Society and couldn’t afford to act rashly. Even the Sect Leader of the Mystical Sword Sect couldn’t do anything that would go against the Sect’s interests for personal reasons, so they decided to let the Huang Family take the lead on this matter.

As the protagonist, Xiao Fan’s whereabouts were naturally easily investigated, and he was identified as a suspect. So, they came knocking at his door.

If it were a supporting character or an antagonist, they would have just been bypassed.

A Spirit Summoner whose potential and grade are not even considered Low Grade would not seem capable of killing the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Mystical Sword Sect and the direct heir of the Huang Family. Not to mention, those two were First Grade Spirit Summoners, surrounded by Second Grade Spirit Summoners for protection.

But the Huang Family firmly believed that Xiao Fan was the culprit.

Now, the visitors had reached the village entrance, making their way toward Qin Muye’s house.

Qin Muye of course knew these things, but he didn’t warn anyone. Instead, he wondered if he should find a cool spot to relax? So as not to get splattered with blood if a fight broke out.

How to put it, the team was led by a Second Grade Spirit Summoner, and there were three First Grade Spirit Summoners. Under normal circumstances, they would have no problem dealing with ordinary people.

But dealing with the protagonist was another story. Xiao Fan was a First Grade Spirit Summoner, and with the Main Character Aura, it might end in a counter-slaying.

“Experience Pack ah~” Qin Muye, sitting in a shady spot with Tie Zhu, couldn’t help but sigh, and then he saw someone push the door and enter.

The visitor glanced at Qin Muye and at Tie Zhu behind him, but they didn’t start off with arrogance or disdain.

“Lord Wang, my eldest son was harmed in the Rongzhi Forest by that Xiao Fan. Please be accommodating,” a First Grade Spirit Summoner approached Qin Muye and then stealthily pulled out a silver note from his robes and passed it over.

“There will be a generous reward after he is captured,” he added quietly, seeing Qin Muye accept it. freēwēbnovel.com

The remaining three naturally barged in to take action. Otherwise, why would they specifically stop Qin Muye, if not to prevent him from helping?

Qin Muye’s official rank might be low, and if not for being a Spirit Summoner, he wouldn’t even qualify for an official’s rank. Yet, even being a small Court Official, he was not someone they could just confront.

The Court’s national power is strong now, and they certainly don’t want to become vulnerable to manipulation by the prefecture over such a minor issue.

As for killing them together, they truly wouldn’t dare at the moment, since reporting it would equate to rebellion; committing such an act would be a major taboo. The officials in the prefecture would love for them to do so—a minor official exchanged for a noble family’s wealth, it’s clear who would profit without even thinking about it.

It’s true that the strong are respected. The Huang Family may be the local Emperor in Nanliangzhou, but they do not rank as true “strong ones.”

If it were an assassination, that would be another matter—they could have simply bribed their way out. But to do so openly like this? They must think their lives are too long.

Bang~

Before Qin Muye could take the silver note, fighting had already erupted within, fierce and unrelenting.

Clearly, Xiao Fan had launched a surprise attack first; he seemed to have sensed some danger as well.

From what he could see, it appeared that he was at a disadvantage.

“Break for me!!!”

A roar came from inside the house. Then, three shadows were sent flying out, two of whom—both First Grade—were killed on the spot.

The remaining Second Grade was also seriously injured.

Qin Muye’s eyes widened. Could yelling “Break for me” really be so effective? To even cause a Burst Seed, but why didn’t it work for him?

“Cough, you dare kill me? I belong to the Huang Family. If you kill me, there will be no place for you in all of Nanliangzhou!!!” said the Second Grade Spirit Summoner from the Huang Family, his voice tinged with smugness.

“…” Qin Muye had a face full of disbelief. So arrogant, huh?

“Heh, if you’re looking for a scapegoat, at least find a credible one. I’m just passing through Rongzhi Forest, and you claim I killed your young master? Do you really think I’m so easy to bully? Once it’s a life-and-death struggle, if I don’t kill you, do you think the Huang Family would let me go?” As he spoke, Xiao Fan delivered a punch that burst the other’s head open.

Using the Martial Spirit Body, Xiao Fan at that moment shared the power of Dan Qingtian, like a humanoid Heroic Spirit, and it was precisely because of this he could kill beyond his level. Low-Grade Spirit Summoners had to rely on the Heroic Spirit’s power, which made the “Martial Spirit Body” Secret Technique incredibly powerful, practically a bug at low grades.

The Spirit Summoner who had blocked Qin Muye’s way, seeing this, immediately turned tail and ran. What else could he do?

Yet he was inevitably a step too slow, and Xiao Fan caught up to him and killed him on the spot.

“Alas, Brother Wang, I’ve caused you trouble this time,” said Xiao Fan with a wry smile as he touched his nose.

Of course, he wasn’t blaming Qin Muye for not helping. In his eyes, Qin Muye was just a Spirit Summoner without any grade—how could he possibly defeat a First Grade Spirit Summoner? Besides, the disaster had been brought upon by himself.

“You didn’t really kill the Huang family’s eldest son, did you? That’s no small matter,” Qin Muye acted with convincing alarm.

“How could I? Where would I get that kind of strength? We can’t linger here for long. I must leave quickly to avoid further trouble with the Huang Family. My medicinal herbs are also ready. So I shall not ramble on.” Xiao Fan said.

“???” Qin Muye was dumbfounded. You cause trouble and then just walk away, leaving him to deal with the aftermath, without a care in the world.

But indeed, when fleeing, efficiency is key. Xiao Fan decisively took his belongings and left without even bothering to deal with the bodies.

“So you’re really leaving the mess for me to handle?” Qin Muye could tell from his Perception that Xiao Fan had no other intentions but to flee. The only thought was to run away and participate in the academy’s grand competition. Dan Qingtian did consider the aftermath, but as a Heroic Spirit, his duty was to prioritize the Spirit Summoner’s interests, so he did not mention it, and then fled with Xiao Fan.

After some thought, Qin Muye had no choice but to ask the Village Chief to arrange for the bodies to be collected and the scene cleaned up, then naturally to document the incident and report to the Court.

After all, there was no connection to him in any of this, and even if someone dared to implicate Qin Muye, he could make them disappear quietly.

Besides, becoming entangled with the Main Character meant there were no spare thoughts to deal with him.

“Luck accumulated to 15 points? Where did the extra 5 points come from?”

“Couldn’t be a bonus from the temporary skill ‘Vortex Center,’ could it?”
