The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 288



288. Where is Master?

Mu Yiting was very surprised, after all, these disciples of the Demon Refining Sect, Ling Meng, had come over.

Logically speaking, for such a small matter as receiving her, it would be enough for a subordinate to come over, but she came in person.

If she came, there must be an important matter.

Mu Yiting remembered that Ling Meng and Lin Nuo had an irreconcilable enmity, but in terms of personal grievances, the two had no connection at all.

It was purely a struggle between two forces.

Ling Meng had long regarded herself as the future leader of the Demon Refining Sect, a rising star, while Lin Nuo had recently made numerous achievements and was a rising star on the side of the righteous sects, destined to take on great responsibilities in the future.

Therefore, the confrontation between her and Lin Nuo was inevitable, and there would definitely be a fierce battle in the future.

In addition, her master’s expectations of her, and her master’s dislike of Lin Nuo, further fueled her anger towards Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo was indeed hateful, she thought about killing him day and night.

Facing Ling Meng’s inquiry, Mu Yiting did not tell the truth and responded:

“He is a friend of mine. I was in trouble in the city, and he saved me and brought me out.”

“Your friend, is he called Wu Yingge?” Ling Meng questioned.

“No, Wu Yingge is your master. How could I have the honor to know him?” Mu Yiting replied respectfully.

“Really?” Ling Meng was half-believing.

“Really.”

Mu Yiting did not lie. She did not know Wu Yingge.

After all, she did not know that Lin Nuo was Wu Yingge.

Ling Meng thought she might have been too sensitive. After all, how could the down-and-out Mu Yiting know her master?

Maybe she missed her master too much, and in the dark of night, she thought the back of the boy riding away looked like her master. How embarrassing.

The last letter also said that Mu Yiting’s friend knew her master. As for that friend, Mu Yiting mentioned a name that Ling Meng was unfamiliar with and did not know who it was.

Logically speaking, someone who could know her master, such a high person, should be quite famous, but there was no name spread.

But this was understandable, after all, someone like her master, a grandmaster of the demonic path, did not have much fame, and the people of the Demon Refining Sect did not know.

However, in the righteous sects, the name Wu Yingge was well-known, a great hero of the Holy Altar.

Of course, she knew that her master saved her, not specifically to save the Holy Altar. The survival of the Holy Altar meant nothing to him. Her master cared most about her.

Never mind, these are all trivial matters.

Master, where are you? Why are you hiding all the time? Come out and see your disciple, your disciple misses you so much.

You said you would always observe her, but you haven’t shown your face even once.

This observation is too covert, so covert that it makes her gnash her teeth.

From noble mtl dot com

Because she misses him too much, she can only hug a pillow every night, pretending it’s him, to fall asleep. That pillow is almost worn out from her hugging.

Of course, this kind of behavior, like a lovesick girl, she can only show in private. In public, she still maintains the appearance of a noble and proud queen.

Ling Meng said seriously:

“Did you get the thing?”

“I got it.”

Mu Yiting then presented the item she obtained from the city to Ling Meng. Ling Meng looked at it and was somewhat satisfied.

“Alright, as long as you follow the rules, our Demon Refining Sect will protect you. I hope you don’t have any thoughts of betrayal. I hate betrayal the most. If you betray, the consequences will be severe.”

Ling Meng warned Mu Yiting. Mu Yiting outwardly showed respect, but in reality, she was definitely unwilling to submit to the Demon Refining Sect. She would eventually start her own faction.

She always believed that as long as she was alive, she could definitely restore her power.

Ling Meng’s gaze returned to the city. By then, the young man who had left had already ridden into the city.

Ling Meng said:

“I heard that the Lin family is having a big celebration recently, and the Lin family members have returned. Lin Nuo is in the city, right?”

“Yes, he is in the city.”

Mu Yiting did not intend to hide this. After all, confirming Lin Nuo’s presence in the city was as easy as pie. If she lied, she feared losing Ling Meng’s trust.

“How are the guards in the city? Can we enter the city?” Ling Meng continued to ask.

“If you intend to go in, I suggest you don’t. The guards are a minor issue. The city is facing a great disaster now. The water source has been cursed with the Blood Splitting Curse. Many people who drank the water are already in trouble.”

“Blood Splitting Curse, what is that?” Ling Meng heard an unfamiliar term and was puzzled.

“It’s a type of curse in blood magic. Those who are cursed will have their skin split open and bleed. The guards at the city gate have already fallen, and more people will be affected. The city is facing a great disaster.”

“When did it start? Do you know who cast the curse?”

“Just now, but the time and the caster are unclear. In any case, the city might be destroyed. The Lin family’s celebration has gathered many guests, and they might suffer.”

“There might be some grudges involved. Alright, we’ll stay nearby and watch the situation unfold. When they are both weakened, we’ll take action.”

Ling Meng remembered her master’s teaching: watch the tigers fight from the mountain, pick up the spoils, and get the highest reward with the lowest cost.

Mu Yiting naturally followed Ling Meng’s orders. To be honest, although Lin Nuo let her go, she was still worried. If the people from the Demon Refining Sect really took advantage of the situation, she could inform Lin Nuo and assist him.

She could only do her best to repay Lin Nuo.

…

Lin Nuo rode back to the city, and the situation inside continued to deteriorate.

More and more people had the Blood Splitting Curse activated within them, their skin cracking open, blood flowing freely, and the pain unbearable.

The streets and alleys were a scene of misery. The city, which had just begun to darken, was suddenly lit up with various candle lights, and the noise echoed to the heavens.

In Lin Nuo’s eyes, this scene was the true prosperity of the city.

It had a post-apocalyptic feel, but to him, it was just child’s play, not enough to be called purgatory.

Outside the mansion, cries of suffering filled the air, while inside, there was singing and dancing.

However, the joyful atmosphere inside the mansion was broken by the shouts of subordinates rushing in.

“Report, my lord! A strange disease has appeared among the citizens in the city. Their skin is cracking and bleeding, and they are collapsing on the ground. We urgently need you to make a decision!”

The shouts of subordinates came one after another, and the people in the mansion immediately became uneasy.

This strange disease came too suddenly, without any warning, and a large number of citizens were affected, as if a disaster had descended from the heavens.

“Why are you shouting? What’s going on? Tell me everything.”

Lin Yuan was stunned. The Lin family was celebrating, and he was having a good time drinking. What was this strange disease?

Lin Yuan immediately turned to the guests and said:

“Please do not panic. It’s just a small matter. My subordinates are making a fuss. I’ll be back soon. Please continue dining.”

Lin Yuan hurriedly took people out to investigate. Saying he wasn’t panicking was a lie. This sudden incident, except for the drunkards, who could still think about drinking?

As soon as this happened, Xia Hanmo became anxious because her son Lin Nuo had just gone out for a walk.

Li Ruo’er quickly came over to comfort her:

“Madam, it’s okay. The young master knows about this and went out to solve it. Don’t worry, the young master will definitely solve it.”
