The Villain Spoiled the Female Leads Too Much, Isn’t It Only Natural They Fell? - Chapter 30:
Chapter 30:
Soon, Ye Bufan was led by the Bai Family’s servants into a quiet courtyard.
Just as he was worrying whether Bai Lian’er would come to see him, a figure approached from outside the courtyard.
“Young Master Ye, what business do you have with me?”
Ye Bufan instinctively looked up and saw it was Bai Lian’er. He immediately stood, a smile spreading across his face as he said happily, “Miss Bai, I must apologize for disturbing you so suddenly.”
“But right now, I truly have something to ask of you, and it concerns Wan’er.”
Bai Lian’er had only met Ye Bufan once before, and that was through Su Wan’er’s introduction. But even at their first meeting, she had noticed Ye Bufan’s feelings for Su Wan’er. So now that he had come to see her, she could already guess it was likely because of Su Wan’er.
She gave a faint smile, pretending to be puzzled. “Oh? Something about Wan’er? What is it?”
Ye Bufan sighed heavily, his voice filled with anger. “Miss Bai, you don’t know. Wan’er has been deceived by Gu Yun’s sweet words and has now lost herself. I’m afraid if this continues, she’ll be hurt even more deeply. I hope you can help me invite Wan’er out so we can talk to her together and persuade her.”
Bai Lian’er froze, then sighed as if helpless, her face showing grievance and sorrow. “So this is why you came. To be honest, I also believe Gu Yun isn’t sincere with Wan’er. That’s why I tried to test him for her. Before Wan’er arrived, Gu Yun revealed his true colors. He fawned over me, bought me many fine things, and even said I was the one he truly liked. But when Wan’er arrived, he immediately changed his face, denied everything, and even forced me to pay for all the things he had bought. The worst part is, Wan’er didn’t see his vile and shameless side at all. Instead, she misunderstood me, thinking I was trying to seduce Gu Yun. I don’t even know who I can turn to for justice. I fear that now, even if I try to persuade Wan’er, she won’t listen to me.”
Hearing this, Ye Bufan grew furious. His fists clenched tightly, and he smashed one against the stone pillar of the pavilion. “That Gu Yun is truly hateful. Not only did he deceive Wan’er’s feelings, he even tried to sow discord between you and her. I wish I could kill him right now!”
Bai Lian’er’s eyes lit up, thinking Ye Bufan truly had the ability. She immediately said, “Exactly! A man like that is a disgrace to the Primordial Holy Land. If you kill him, you’d be upholding justice. I support you—go!”
Ye Bufan froze, stunned by her words, and gave her a strange look. His imposing momentum quickly faded, and he slowly sat back down. “This… this matter requires careful planning. It can’t be rushed.”
What a joke. He was only at the 5th stage of the Core Formation Realm, and his master Luo Wushang was still in deep slumber. How could he possibly contend with Gu Yun? His words about killing Gu Yun had only been out of anger, yet Bai Lian’er had taken them seriously.
Seeing Ye Bufan shrink back, Bai Lian’er was filled with annoyance. If you don’t have the strength, then why speak so boldly?
At that moment, Ye Bufan spoke again. “Miss Bai, as long as you can help me invite Wan’er out, I have a way to persuade her. Right now, I may not be Gu Yun’s match, but I cannot just sit by and watch Wan’er suffer. Once Wan’er sees Gu Yun’s true despicable nature, I will defeat him in the inner sect competition.”
Bai Lian’er gave him a serious look. “You truly have the means to persuade Wan’er and defeat Gu Yun?”
Ye Bufan chuckled proudly. “Of course!”
Bai Lian’er nodded. “Very well. Leave this matter to me. You go back and wait for my news.”
Ye Bufan nodded and soon left the Bai Family.
After he left, Bai Haotian appeared beside Bai Lian’er. He had been secretly observing their conversation the entire time. Watching Ye Bufan’s retreating figure, Bai Haotian nodded slightly. “This boy may only be at the 5th stage of the Core Formation Realm, but his spiritual power is thick and steady. His strength may not be beneath yours. He truly has talent. If he also has some hidden trump cards or techniques, he might really stand a chance against Gu Yun in the inner sect competition.”
Bai Lian’er was a little surprised. “This Ye Bufan is really that strong? Grandfather, how do you think I should help him? Right now, Su Wan’er trusts Gu Yun completely. I don’t think Ye Bufan can drive a wedge between them.”
Bai Haotian sneered coldly. “Does he need to drive a wedge between them? As long as he approaches Su Wan’er, with Gu Yun’s personality, he will certainly retaliate. If Ye Bufan were just an ordinary disciple, it would be nothing. But he has talent. If the Old Ancestors and Grand Elders of the inner sect learn that Gu Yun, the Holy Son, is deliberately suppressing a gifted disciple, what do you think they will do?”
Bai Lian’er was stunned, then immediately understood. The Primordial Holy Land forbade internal strife above all else. No matter how talented Gu Yun was, he could not act without restraint. If this matter escalated, the Patriarch and the Grand Elders would certainly direct their anger toward him. Most importantly, the Bai Family wouldn’t be implicated.
Her eyes shone with excitement. “Grandfather, you are wise as always. I’ll make preparations right away. I’ll make sure Gu Yun steps into his own trap.”
…
Elsewhere, Su Wan’er and the others were still immersed in discussing skin care and beauty products, paying no attention to Gu Yun.
Gu Yun could only smile wryly. He called Han Ying aside and instructed, “I’ll be leaving the Primordial Holy Land for a few days. During this time, keep an eye on Ye Bufan. Report any movement immediately.”
Han Ying nodded without unnecessary words.
After arranging everything, Gu Yun left ahead of time, preparing to head to the Purple Cloud Secret Realm.
Two days later.
With several guards accompanying him, Gu Yun found the entrance to the secret realm and soon arrived at the place where, in the original plot, Ye Bufan had obtained the medical inheritance.
Gu Yun reached out and picked up the jade slip. Inside was the medical inheritance of the Purple Cloud Old Ancestor. This was at least a Saint-grade treasure. Otherwise, it couldn’t have given Ye Bufan such a massive advantage in the original plot.
With it, Ye Bufan had mastered the Nine Yang Needle Technique and even saved the son of a Grand Elder of the Primordial Holy Land.
At first, Gu Yun had planned to simply take the inheritance and leave. But then, a thought struck him. After copying down the entire inheritance, he subtly altered a section of the needle technique recorded in the jade slip before putting it back in place.
A playful smile curved his lips.
If he could use someone else’s hand to kill Ye Bufan, all the better. Even if that failed, it would at least suppress his growth. Either way, there was no harm, only benefit.
