Chapter 485 -487: The Attitude of the Aristocratic Family

“Thank you, Lord Wang, for your help. Here is a small compensation from our family head to you.” The Huang Family housekeeper handed over a silver note worth five thousand taels.

After reporting the death of the four members of the Huang Family, Qin Muye quickly completed the handover. Afterwards, the Huang Family housekeeper came to collect the bodies and also inquired about the situation from Qin Muye.

They didn’t suspect Qin Muye’s involvement, simply because they didn’t believe a Spirit Summoner without any grade could play any significant role in this matter.

As for the total annihilation of the Golden Lock Gang at Qingsong Village, they had also investigated and found it was resolved by a passing Third Grade Spirit Summoner. Don’t ask where they got this information; it was given by the Spirit Monster.

After some operations, not only was Qin Muye free from any suspicions, but he even indirectly helped them.

If it weren’t for Qin Muye gathering herbs and thereby delaying Xiao Fan, they probably wouldn’t have been able to find Xiao Fan’s traces at all.

As for venting anger or arrogantly saying something like “My son is dead, why should you live,” that would be purely foolish.

It’s true that the powerful are respected, but the Huang Family is not the strongest. If they had really killed Qin Muye, the Court might not have sought revenge for him, but the provincial officials would not miss such a good opportunity to extort money, and the Huang Family would definitely have to bleed heavily.

Paying such a heavy price just to vent their anger could likely cost the family head his position, as the family head should prioritize the family’s interests over personal ones.

There are also factions within great families; it’s not all about the family head alone.

“Then I shall humbly accept it. By the way, I wanted to inquire a little, did the Huang Family manage to capture that Xiao Fan later?” Qin Muye casually asked.

This question almost ignited the fury of the Huang housekeeper, but being a person who practiced Qi Cultivation Technique, he managed not to lose his composure, “This thief is quite formidable; he killed many pursuers on his way back to the state capital, and now that he has returned to the academy, it won’t be so easy to make a move on him.”

In the area outside the state capital, they dared to be unbridled, but once inside the state capital, they had to be cautious, not just because of the Xiao Family but also the academy.

You, a group of noble family members, chasing down an academy student within the state capital is not arresting a criminal; it’s slapping the face of the Court.

Therefore, they had to change tactics, pressuring the Xiao Family to hand over Xiao Fan, or else they would take action against the Xiao Family.

The academy cannot watch as a student is hunted by noble families, but they don’t interfere in matters among the noble families.

The Huang Family had also communicated with the academy, but made no progress, because this was a red line.

As for the demands of the Huang Family, the academy’s response was to report it to the authorities, and if the evidence was indeed conclusive, they would hand over Xiao Fan to the officials. Naturally, the meeting ended unhappily.

A noble family reporting to the officials is utterly ridiculous.

So, they could only change the method accordingly.

“I never thought that Xiao Fan had such strength. Initially, the Heroic Spirit he awakened was just as unremarkable as mine, with mere bottom-tier potential; however, now even Second Grade is not his match,” Qin Muye continued along with the other party’s words.

“He must have obtained some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, otherwise the difficulty of enhancing a Heroic Spirit’s potential is enough to deter most people,” the Huang housekeeper also felt the unpredictability of life.

“Lord Wang, your Heroic Spirit is also of the bottom-tier level?”

Looking at Tie Zhu, the Huang housekeeper doubted his own judgment, wondering how such an appearance could be anything but at least Soldier Level.

“Yes, indeed, lacking spiritual intelligence and poor strength, haven’t you noticed I am still ungraded?” Qin Muye retorted.

The Huang housekeeper walked around Tie Zhu and couldn’t help but marvel, “Truly bottom-tier potential indeed; what a pity, what a pity.”

If this cavalry had been of Soldier Level, it would have been enough to defeat Second Grade, of course, those who are somewhat weaker.

“What’s there to pity? I think it’s quite good. The intrigue within the city can’t compare to the comfort I find in the countryside,” Qin Muye said.

“Lord Wang is magnanimous,” the Huang housekeeper could only praise him in this way, lest he directly say he had no ambition.

The two chatted for a little less than half an hour before the Huang housekeeper finally got up to leave.

Looking at the silver note, Qin Muye found it rather amusing.

He wasn’t short of money. In this world with silver notes, he could draw his own by hand, creating as much money as he wanted.

Anti-counterfeiting technology might stop a Spirit Summoner but not him.

“Speaking of which, after delivering this round of Experience Packs, Xiao Fan’s Main Character Aura has shifted from negative five to negative four, meaning he needs to make up for it before he can continue to gain opportunities, right?”

“After counter-killing the Huang Family pursuers, there’s the academy’s grand competition, where acquiring the first place is a certainty, followed by showing off and slapping faces; then, using the first-place title of the academy’s competition to lead the team to the state competition, only to once again clinch the top spot and be exceptionally admitted. Around this point, the map will probably change.”

“Oh, in between, there should be another instance where showing off and slapping faces happens.”

“After these processes are completed, the negative aspects of the Main Character Aura should disappear.”

All this information was gathered by Spirit Monster spies, summarized by the intelligence department, and deduced by the think tank.

“As for the Huang Family, they’ll probably be dealt with after the academy’s grand competition; after the map changes, the facing challenge will be the Mystical Sword Sect.”

“If I don’t intervene… could it be that the daughter of the Sect Leader of Mystical Sword Sect is actually Xiao Fan’s close confidante? And after changing the map, he wouldn’t be against the Mystical Sword Sect but would instead join them to continue showing off and slapping faces?”

Qin Muye suddenly realized at this moment that this was indeed a possibility.

The Sect’s name is Mystical Sword Sect; they must use swords, and now that he has acquired the Martial Spirit Body capable of close combat, the protagonist would definitely choose to use a sword. He wouldn’t still be using a Wolf Fang Club, would he?

“So this deviates from the original path, but the impact isn’t significant, not as significant as the effect I created by giving Xiao Fan the Heavenly Order.”

The Heavenly Order isn’t something rare; Qin Muye simply made one himself, perfectly replicating all the materials of the Heavenly Order, which was incredibly simple for him.

“So, I need to figure out a way to continue offering chances to Xiao Fan to see what would happen if the Main Character Aura continues to be negative.”

He’d already intensified the process, so naturally, he couldn’t give up halfway; he definitely had to keep pushing.

In terms of the upcoming apocalypse, Qin Muye had also figured out how to handle it; if the protagonist wasn’t up to the task, then he would have to reluctantly contain the apocalypse himself.

If it could cause an apocalypse, it must be something valuable.

What? This thing is a tribulation?

Tribulation has to follow logic too, right? Even if it’s the collapse of the world, there must be some principle or process for the collapse; just saying death is death isn’t enough—death as a process is itself a principle, Qin Muye thought this was also a benefit.

“Speaking of this apocalypse, can I make a cameo?”

The apocalypse isn’t just something Qin Muye can handle; his subordinate Spirit Monsters can do it too.

“It should be possible, but this time it requires a little change from before.”

Previously, actions were taken directly with surprise and deceit, but now that wasn’t feasible. First, he needed to gather one million enemies in a single battle to count as completion.

Gathering one million people would take quite some time.

Thus, sufficient hatred was required, and the only entity capable of this was the Court, so a comprehensive plan was necessary.

The current dark plan was to provoke the enemy through unpredictable actions suddenly.

Qin Muye thought it was a good approach, but still too slow, like causing a demonic disaster or straight-up invasion, doing some hated deeds to force the Court, noble families, and Sects to band together against a common foe.

He just provided suggestions, but the Spirit Monsters had to execute them practically.

In any case, the method was to invite as much hatred as possible; otherwise, gathering a million enemies in one battle wouldn’t be easy.

Of course, besides attracting hatred, there had to be a real threat, or else without taking it seriously, it wouldn’t be feasible to proceed.

Additionally, with Spirit Monster spies fueling the fire internally, the success rate wasn’t low.

If all else fails, he could even disguise himself as the apocalyptic tribulation from the main storyline; the records never specified what the Spirit Tribulation was exactly. As long as the attack was harsh enough, wouldn’t it count too?

The real Spirit Tribulation could wait for later; after all, Qin Muye wasn’t in a rush for it. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

He was still busy boosting Xiao Fan with injections and researching the Main Character Aura, and now wasn’t the time to make a move, just to probe a little and progress step by step.

A full-scale war would have to wait until after the Divine Artifact and Territory Traits were fully integrated.

At the moment, he was multitasking, and it would probably take another three to five months to complete these projects.
