I, the Villain, Realized That the Mother of the Chosen One of Destiny Is My Maid - Chapter 4:

Chapter 4: The Chosen One, Lin Tianyang.

Heavenly Mystic Peak.

A man dressed in a blue-gray robe pushed open the gate of the Lu Family Courtyard.

“Mother, I’ve come to see you.”

The moment he entered, Lin Tianyang saw Su Qingxue preparing breakfast for Lu Wuchen.

“Yang’er, you’re here.”

Su Qingxue was slightly surprised when she saw him.

She had just finished receiving treatment from the Young Master. She absolutely could not let her son notice anything unusual.

“Mother, no one has bullied you here, right?”

Seeing the nervous expression on his mother’s face, Lin Tianyang could not help frowning.

He had always opposed his mother working as a maid for another disciple. Although the monthly income was impressive, it only made him more suspicious.

A maid earning more each month than he did as an outer disciple? If there was nothing strange about that, he would never believe it.

Even if the other party was Lu Wuchen, the so-called “good guy” of the sect.

As long as he was a man, he could not be entirely trustworthy. Unless he was incapable of being a man.

Lin Tianyang was afraid his mother might be led astray.

“No, no. Mother is doing very well here.”

Su Qingxue smiled and waved her hand.

These past two and a half months had been more comfortable than any period of her previous life.

“By the way, this is my salary from last month. Yang’er, take it and buy some cultivation resources. Keeping so many spirit stones with me serves no purpose.”

As she spoke, Su Qingxue handed a pouch of spirit stones to Lin Tianyang.

Looking at the spirit stones in his hands, Lin Tianyang was filled with mixed emotions.

He was already eighteen years old, yet he still needed his mother’s support.

There was no helping it. Cultivation was a path that consumed money endlessly. The tiny amount of spirit stones he earned himself was not even enough to make a dent.

Lin Tianyang did not refuse. After putting away all the spirit stones, he solemnly promised, “Mother, I’ll consider these spirit stones as being temporarily stored with me. One day, when your son becomes a dragon among men, I will repay all the hardships you’ve endured over the years.”

“Haha, my silly child.”

Su Qingxue laughed warmly.

However, hidden behind that smile was deep heartache.

The Young Master could casually give her more than a hundred spirit stones, while Yang’er had to come “visit” her once or twice every month just for these cultivation resources.

If the Young Master possessed an overwhelming background, that would be one thing. But he was merely an orphan.

It seemed she had been holding Yang’er back.

But that would no longer be the case.

Because she had already found him a father.

“It turns out it’s Junior Brother Lin. You’re visiting my place, yet you didn’t notify your Senior Brother beforehand. I could have prepared a pot of top-grade black tea to entertain you.”

A handsome figure emerged from the inner room.

Looking at the man in the blue-gray robe, Lu Wuchen’s eyes revealed a trace of hidden meaning.

[Name: Lin Tianyang]

[Identity: Outer Disciple of Primordial Dao Holy Land]

[Hidden Identity: Chosen One]

[Cultivation: 10th stage Profound Breaking Realm]

[Luck Item: Mysterious Jade Purification Bottle]

[Luck Value: Nine and a Half Stars] (10)

[Description: Better that I betray the world than let the world betray me.]

Nine and a half stars.

It seemed that becoming his stepfather had only reduced half a star of his luck value.

At this rate, it would not be long before he harvested this entire leek.

A Mysterious Jade Purification Bottle?

Lu Wuchen was pleasantly surprised.

Without that mysterious bottle, losing it would probably hurt Lin Tianyang even more than gaining another father.

Hehehe…

“Senior Brother Lu, you’re too polite.”

Lin Tianyang quickly walked over.

Although Lu Wuchen was the personal disciple of Heavenly Mystic Peak’s Peak Master, he was known for being extremely kind and had an excellent reputation throughout the Holy Land.

“Senior Brother Lu, my mother must have caused you trouble while staying here.”

Lin Tianyang spoke apologetically.

This guy was the textbook definition of a wealthy fool. He paid his mother 50 spirit stones every month. That amount was enough to hire ten beautiful personal maids.

Although Lin Tianyang looked down on such a fool deep inside, he remained extremely courteous on the surface.

“Junior Brother Lin, listen to yourself. I already regard Aunt Xue and you as family. Saying that really hurts my feelings.”

Lu Wuchen put on a displeased expression.

“Family. Haha, that’s right. Senior Brother Lu is absolutely right.”

Lin Tianyang laughed.

You treat me like a brother, and I treat you like an endless source of money. That’s not excessive, right?

“Junior Brother Lin, just focus on your cultivation. Leave Aunt Xue to me.”

Lu Wuchen patted Lin Tianyang’s shoulder.

Through the system, he had already seen that this Chosen One was far from a good person.

Better that I betray the world than let the world betray me.

For the system to give such an evaluation, Lin Tianyang likely viewed everyone around him as tools for increasing his strength.

“In that case, I’ll trouble Senior Brother Lu.”

Lin Tianyang responded politely.

With his mother staying here, the disciples he had offended would not dare come looking for trouble.

“I see that you’ve already reached the peak of the Profound Breaking Realm. I happen to have a Condensed Soul Pill. I’ll give it to you.”

When Lin Tianyang saw the pill in Lu Wuchen’s hand, a trace of greed flashed through his eyes.

With the Condensed Soul Pill and the effects of his mysterious Jade Purification Bottle, he was confident he would soon break through to the Condensed Soul Realm and enter the inner sect.

“No, no, Senior Brother Lu. This pill is far too precious. I cannot accept it.”

“Junior Brother Lin, keeping it with me is pointless. It might as well shine one last time.”

As he spoke, Lu Wuchen directly stuffed the pill into Lin Tianyang’s hand.

The moment it landed in his palm, Lin Tianyang gripped it tightly as though afraid it might disappear.

“Then I’ll gratefully accept it.”

Lin Tianyang clasped his fists in thanks.

“Junior Brother Lin, we’re just about to eat. Why not stay for a simple meal before leaving?”

Lu Wuchen deliberately invited him.

“No, Senior Brother. I still have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”

Lin Tianyang politely declined.

Now that he had obtained what he wanted, why would he stay?

“Senior Brother Lu, if you need anything, just tell my mother.”

Lin Tianyang then turned toward Su Qingxue. “Mother, stay here and take good care of yourself. Senior Brother Lu will look after you. I have some matters to handle, so I’ll leave first.”

“You child, always in such a hurry. Focus on your cultivation.”

Watching her son leave in haste, Su Qingxue shook her head helplessly.

As soon as Lin Tianyang departed, Lu Wuchen eagerly wrapped an arm around Su Qingxue’s slender waist.

“Young Master, that Condensed Soul Pill must have been very valuable, right?”

Su Qingxue turned her head and looked at the man holding her.

“Haha, it’s just a small gift from a father to his child.”

Lu Wuchen did not seem concerned.

It was indeed a Condensed Soul Pill.

However, it was a specially customized one.

“I knew it. Young Master is only treating Yang’er so well because of me.”

How could Su Qingxue not understand?

The reason no one in the Holy Land dared bully Yang’er was because of the man before her.

As she spoke, she took the initiative and kissed Lu Wuchen on the cheek.

If not for the Young Master’s care of their mother-and-son household, they would have long since been devoured by this cruel world without leaving even bones behind.

“Young Master, today Qingxue will listen to everything you say.”

“Really?”

Lu Wuchen was delighted.

“Mm.”

Nestled in Lu Wuchen’s embrace, Su Qingxue gently nodded.

Originally, Lu Wuchen had planned to have fried dough sticks with millet porridge for breakfast.

But now it seemed unnecessary.

He still preferred soft white steamed buns. That was truly one of the finest delicacies in the world.

Of course, he would not be stingy.

He had also prepared a large baguette for Su Qingxue’s breakfast. He was certain she would be well fed.
