Chapter 63: Who Doesn't Want to Be the Villain Like Cao Cao?
Nearly half a month had passed since the seventh livestream ended.
During that time, Lin Yu continued studying diligently at the Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy.
Although he had already obtained the Supreme Bone and awakened the soul skill One Qi Begets Three Pure Ones,
which allowed him to create a clone to remain in Spirit City while his true body left unnoticed,
he still hadn't used it.
Because Lin Yu hadn't yet finished enjoying life in Spirit City.
Back in Windmill Village, his life had been miserable. Now, in Spirit City, he was eating meat daily, drinking milk at every meal—this was the good life, wasn't it?
One morning, as usual, Lin Yu got up early and went for a jog with Hu Liena around the hill beneath the Pope's Palace.
But as they neared the palace,
three seemingly ordinary carriages suddenly descended the hill.
From one of the carriages, the curtain was lifted slightly, revealing a beautiful, dignified face that glanced briefly outside.
Lin Yu was stunned.
That face—he knew it well. It was none other than Pope Bibi Dong!
Why was she riding in a carriage? Where was she going?
And the carriages themselves were completely unmarked—no insignias of Spirit Hall at all.
Clearly, they were trying to conceal their identities!
After the carriages had passed, Lin Yu turned toward Hu Liena and asked,
"Nana-jie, I think I just saw Her Holiness the Pope. You saw her too, didn't you? What's going on? Where is she headed?"
"Uh… you must have seen wrong. I didn't see anything."
Hu Liena's charming face tensed slightly as she tried to deflect the question.
"Nana-jie, I may be young, but I'm not blind. Don't treat me like a fool."
Lin Yu frowned.
"Nana-jie, just tell me!"
"I'm too curious. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to focus at school. If I can't focus, I'll have to study overtime. If I study overtime, I'll be exhausted and unable to cultivate. If I can't cultivate, my future strength will suffer."
"And if I can't grow strong, I won't be able to serve Spirit Hall!"
"Nana-jie… you're sabotaging one of Spirit Hall's future pillars!"
With mock grievance, Lin Yu shamelessly used his childlike age to wheedle and pester.
After all, his age advantage only lasted a few years—he might as well use it while it lasted.
Hearing his nonsense, Hu Liena felt a headache coming on.
Strictly speaking, she wasn't supposed to disclose her teacher's covert movements.
But Lin Yu was someone she had high hopes for.
Since he started attending the academy, their time together had greatly decreased, making it harder to deepen their bond.
If he got upset with her now over this, that could be troublesome.
Sure, children's moods were fleeting—but she didn't want to take that risk.
Even though she was Spirit Hall's only saintess,
as Bibi Dong's disciple, Hu Liena knew she wasn't without rivals.
Thinking it over, she decided that letting this "child" know wouldn't matter, so long as he kept it to himself.
In the end, she relented.
"Alright, alright. I give up. This isn't anything too serious anyway. Just don't tell anyone, okay?"
"Of course! I promise, I won't say a word!" Lin Yu swore with wide eyes and a pat to his chest.
"Well… from what I know, teacher received information about Tang Hao and his son. She's going with Elder Chrysanthemum and Elder Ghost to a place called Nuoding City."
As they jogged, Hu Liena spoke softly.
"Nuoding City?"
Hearing this, Lin Yu lowered his head slightly, his eyes glinting.
As expected! So Brother Tao really didn't fail this time—he reported Tang San's whereabouts to Spirit Hall.
Now knowing this, Lin Yu began thinking: should he follow along?
Based on his guess, Tang San likely didn't attend Nuoding Academy after learning about his father's identity. But Lin Yu couldn't be sure.
If Tang San had enrolled, he should have already become Yu Xiaogang's disciple and met Xiao Wu.
And if Bibi Dong's group arrived now, they would likely find the Tang father and son at Nuoding Academy.
In that case, Xiao Wu would definitely be exposed as well!
Since Spirit Hall was ambushing them,
Lin Yu had no idea if Tang Hao and Tang San would survive—but Xiao Wu almost certainly wouldn't.
As for the fate of Tang Hao and Tang San? Lin Yu didn't care—he'd be happy to see them drop dead on the spot.
But Xiao Wu… due to past life sentiments, Lin Yu still had some fondness for her.
If she died because of him, he'd feel a little guilty.
Partly because, in his past life, he had lusted after her.
And partly because, if Tang San and Xiao Wu survived, future livestreams would definitely feature their story.
If Lin Yu managed to "conquer" Xiao Wu…
He couldn't wait to see Tang San's face when he learned that his future wife had become Lin Yu's woman.
A bit twisted? Sure.
But come on, who doesn't want to play the villain when it's against someone they hate?
In any case, Lin Yu had already enjoyed all that Spirit City had to offer these past few weeks.
Even the 1,000 gold spirit coins Hu Liena had promised him had already been deposited.
He now had money, and with the Eternal Life Technique under his belt—plus his training in the Ten Supreme Martial Arts, including movement techniques like Water Without a Trace and Plum Blossom Steps, and offensive skills like Mountains and Seas Fist, Dragon Bone Claw, and Fierce King Leg Arts—
he was well-equipped to defend himself.
Once he left, he also planned to fuse the Golden Holy Dragon Origin and consume the Dragon Essence.
With the power of the Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul and the body enhancement from the Dragon Essence, Lin Yu believed even Soul Emperors would struggle against him.
In a small city like Nuoding, his current strength should be more than enough to keep him safe.
