The Villain Plundered the Children of Destiny’s Luck - Chapter 32:

Chapter 32: Yun Zhongjun Takes the Blame

Early morning in Tianyang City, a piece of news quickly set the whole city ablaze.

“Did you hear? Last night, the eldest young lady of the Nalan Family, Nalan Feiyan, was attacked and killed on the spot. More than ten guards died with her!”

“What? Who’s so bold? Even the Nalan Family dares to provoke?”

“I heard it was a martial artist from Qiguang Prefecture. The details are still under investigation.”

“What a pity, Miss Nalan… heaven is jealous of beauty.”

“Isn’t it so? She was the number one beauty of Tianyang City, and now…”

“Yes, truly a pity.”

Inside the main hall of the Nalan Family’s courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe with a refined face and sharp eyes sat at the head seat. He was Nalan Feiyan’s father, the head of the Nalan Family—Nalan Duanzheng.

“Still no trace of Feiyan?” Nalan Duanzheng glared angrily at the servant kneeling before him.

“Replying to Patriarch, not yet…” The servant lowered his head, trembling as he spoke.

“Hmph! A bunch of useless trash. Get out, and keep searching!” Nalan Duanzheng roared, his face dark. His daughter had been in Yun Zhongjun’s hands for an entire night, and she had not been found. How could he not be enraged?

Women who fell into Yun Zhongjun’s hands never had good endings. Thinking of what his daughter might now be suffering, his fury boiled over.

“Yun Zhongjun, my Nalan Family will never forgive you!” Nalan Duanzheng swore in his heart, his eyes cold with killing intent.

He suddenly turned to another servant. “Has the news been spread?”

“Replying to Patriarch, the news of the young lady’s death has already been released.” The servant bowed respectfully. He knew well that if he failed here, he might lose his life.

“Good. Leave.” Nalan Duanzheng waved him away.

“Feiyan, Father has failed you. But rest assured, I will avenge you.” He clenched his fists tightly. He had deliberately spread the news of her death. After searching fruitlessly all night without finding Yun Zhongjun, he already knew his daughter’s fate. For the sake of her reputation and the family’s honor, he had no choice but to announce her death.

…

For the next seven days, Qin Xiao stayed within his courtyard. By day, he reclined in a chair under the sun, cultivating the Solar Scripture. By night, he accompanied Nalan Feiyan.

His cultivation of the 5th stage Solar Scripture progressed quickly. At this rate, within two years he estimated he could break through to the 2nd stage Yin-Yang Realm.

“Qin Lang, what is this cultivation technique you practice? Why do you bask in the sun every day?” Nalan Feiyan asked curiously, watching him return from training under the sun.

“This isn’t an ordinary technique. I stumbled upon it by chance—it’s called the Solar Scripture. All it requires is basking in the sun and absorbing pure yang energy.” Qin Xiao spoke with pride.

“What? Such a technique exists?” Nalan Feiyan was left dumbfounded.

“What’s so strange about that? The world is vast, filled with countless wonders. Strange and unusual cultivation methods exist everywhere. A scripture that requires sunbathing isn’t so shocking.” Qin Xiao smiled. And he was telling the truth—many extreme yang attribute techniques required cultivation under the sun.

“What rank is your technique?” Nalan Feiyan asked, her curiosity growing stronger.

“Top-tier Earth Rank,” Qin Xiao replied after a pause. He did not tell her the truth. The Solar Scripture was an Emperor Rank technique. If such a secret spread, the entire Great Wei Empire might be erased overnight, for holy lands and ancient sects would go mad over it. This was a secret he had to guard until he had the power to protect his family.

“Wow… Qin Lang, you’re truly amazing, to obtain such a scripture.” Nalan Feiyan’s eyes widened in awe. A top-tier Earth Rank cultivation technique was something that even the Great Wei imperial family and the top clans would guard tightly.

“Enough. Don’t make a fuss. And don’t tell anyone about this. Otherwise, it could bring danger to both of us.” Qin Xiao lowered his tone. “Besides, I have another scripture suited for you. Once we return, I’ll pass it to you.”

Recently, he had found many techniques in the system’s store. One of them, the Lunar Scripture, was perfectly suited for women—an Emperor Rank technique equal to the Solar Scripture. If he purchased it for his woman, it would skyrocket her cultivation speed. Before, it had been too expensive for him. But now, with plenty of Fortune Points, it was time.

“What technique is it?” Nalan Feiyan asked with expectation. If Qin Xiao mentioned it so seriously, its rank had to be extraordinary.

“Hehe, you’ll know when the time comes.” Qin Xiao smiled mysteriously.

“In a few days, we’ll scout for news, then you’ll come back with me to the Qin Family.” Qin Xiao patted her shoulder. He had been away for nearly three months. It was time to return.

The Qin Family was too weak. Without him to guard them, even a single Innate Realm cultivator could wipe them out. Since he had taken this body, he had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the family. He would not allow his home to be destroyed while he enjoyed himself outside.
