The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 245



245: Seeking Assistance from the Demon Refining Sect (Third Update)

Lin Nuo once again realized the power of the protagonist’s halo.

Other noble families sent representatives to attend the Lin family’s celebration, at least they were born with a silver spoon and had the capital for it.

But Su Kexin, who originally had no connection with immortals, went to Zifeng Valley and became one of the representatives of the immortals to attend the Lin family’s grand celebration.

This matter had to be traced back to the day when Lin Nuo told her about the Lin family’s celebration.

After Su Kexin learned about the Lin family’s celebration, she casually mentioned it to Zhao Zhou, who then directly arranged a spot for her.

After all, Zifeng Valley is a place where immortals gather, and the immortals were also invited to the celebration.

However, these immortals generally disdain such bureaucratic social events and naturally wouldn’t attend.

So, Su Kexin went instead.

You, an ordinary civilian, representing the immortals at a banquet, why?

Oh, because you’re the protagonist, that’s fine then.

So Lin Nuo took Su Kexin and Li Ruo’er to the banquet.

It wasn’t time for the banquet yet, but as the young master of the Lin family, Lin Nuo naturally needed to go early.

Su Kexin stepped on a sword, Lin Nuo and Li Ruo’er each stepped on a sword, and they flew together.

After flying for a while, they stopped in a small town to have a meal and fill their stomachs.

They were very close to the city where the Lin family was located, and they planned to walk the rest of the way. After all, flying on swords was too ostentatious. He was just going through the motions, so it was better to keep a low profile and not be too arrogant.

They found an inn and had a meal. Lin Nuo changed into more formal clothes. Even though he was just going through the motions, it was still necessary to dress a bit more formally.

Shortly after sitting down, he noticed that someone seemed to be watching him.

Hmm?

A somewhat familiar-looking person.

“I’m going out to buy something. You two stay here and eat.”

With that, Lin Nuo picked up his sword and walked out, and a girl in a cloak inside the inn also followed him out.

The two of them went into the alley.

“Is it really you?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Yes, it’s me. Why are you here?”

The smile on the girl’s face faded, and her whole expression turned gloomy.

She was the young mistress of a mafia gang, named Mu Yiting, with a side business of making cold water.

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” Lin Nuo retorted.

“Just here to make a deal.”

“What kind of deal? What color?”

“…Black… What do you take me for?”

“No, I was just asking if it was an eco-friendly deal. What are you thinking?”

“Do you know what I’m thinking?” Mu Yiting countered.

“Do you know that I know what you’re thinking?”

“Do you know that I know that you know…”

“Alright, alright, stop this nesting doll game.”

Lin Nuo interrupted her and changed the topic, “I’m here to attend the Lin family’s grand celebration.”

“Congratulations.”

“Do you think I want to attend? Congratulations, my foot.”

Lin Nuo said irritably, but talking with Mu Yiting was quite nice, without the usual constraints and hesitations, allowing him to speak freely.

Even if she occasionally retorted, it was better than those who always praised him.

Of course, he wasn’t a masochist, but being surrounded by righteous people all the time, listening to all kinds of moralities, chatting with Mu Yiting from the underworld was quite enjoyable.

Mu Yiting noticed the sword in his hand, which looked like the same model as Su Kexin’s.

She said:

“You still use the companion sword with your junior sister when you go out?”

“In the martial world, one cannot help oneself.”

“Could it be that she has dominated you?”

“Do you believe I dominated you?”

“Not really, but if you want to, I will cooperate.”

As expected of someone from the underworld, not restrained or evasive at all.

“So straightforward? You’ll cooperate with me? Not today, maybe another day.”

Lin Nuo’s tone shifted, becoming serious:

“How are things on your side? Didn’t you mention there was internal strife in your family?”

“Not good. The opposing forces are too strong. I almost got killed.”

Mu Yiting replied calmly, but she wasn’t joking, and she wouldn’t joke about such matters.

“Didn’t you seek any assistance?” Lin Nuo continued to ask.

“No one is willing to help. We’re on our last legs. One day, I’ll die a violent death in the wilderness.”

“Are you afraid?”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. In the underworld, dying is not a big deal.”

Mu Yiting continued to respond calmly, having already accepted the inevitability of death.

A violent death in the wilderness, huh? That wouldn’t be good. I, Lin, am still counting on you to bring joy to Kehan Shui.

Also, in this righteous sect, without Mu Yiting, it would be lacking something.

Lin Nuo asked:

“By the way, what about that Ling Meng you dealt with before?”

“Why are you asking about her?”

“Nothing, I just wanted to know if she’s dead.”

“She’s not dead, she’s doing well. After our last failed negotiation, she disappeared for a while, then returned to the Demon Refining Sect. Her power has greatly increased, and her status has also improved. The Demon Refining Sect’s influence is expanding. She indeed has the confidence. I was overestimating myself back then.”

“I see.”

Lin Nuo listened, feeling that the situation was developing well.

Ling Meng’s power had soared, and her status had surely improved, which was expected.

However, Lin Nuo had some concerns.

Because Ling Meng was not in his sight, he had no idea to what extent she had advanced.

If she became too strong, wouldn’t that directly replace his position as the main antagonist?

Thinking about it, he realized that after leaving her, he could freeload on the protagonist Su Kexin’s achievements, and the Phoenix Sword’s enhancement made him stronger.

This ultimately wasn’t love, pfft, it wasn’t a true enhancement.

“Do you have a way to negotiate with Ling Meng of the Demon Refining Sect? Just find her.”

“Finding someone from the Demon Refining Sect is too easy. Now that her status has greatly improved and her influence has expanded, many disciples of the Demon Refining Sect know her reputation. Finding her is even easier.”

Mu Yiting replied, “Why, do you want to find her?”

“If you have no way out, I’ll help you.”

Lin Nuo took out a broken jade piece from his pocket and handed it to Mu Yiting, “I have some connections with Ling Meng’s master. You ask a disciple of the Demon Refining Sect to deliver this jade piece to Ling Meng, and she will help you through the difficult times. Of course, don’t mention my name, Lin Nuo. Her master is Wu Yingge. She will understand when you give it to her.”

Lin Nuo, feeling uneasy, specifically took out a piece of paper and wrote some words on it, mainly asking Ling Meng to let bygones be bygones and help Mu Yiting.

After finishing, Lin Nuo handed the note to Mu Yiting and instructed her:

“Go ahead, trust me. If you don’t get killed on the way, the Demon Refining Sect will protect you.”

I find this kind of writing really thankless. I rack my brains to update more than twice a day, try to incorporate more humor, and still risk being accused of falling into clichés. I even commissioned character designs, but even so, I can’t even make it to the monthly ticket rankings.

Forget it, maybe my expectations were too high. This chicken rib of a story doesn’t deserve it. As long as you’re happy.
