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

101. When Paths Cross

Though the trail through Fish Peak Valley was rugged, it brought Lin Nuo a sense of peace.

It was this very broken path, untouched by others, that allowed him to walk with ease.

Everything went smoothly; no one discovered or followed him. Everything was going perfectly.

This time, Su Kexin would surely meet her doom, unable to escape death.

Thinking of this, Lin Nuo couldn’t help but laugh. After enduring so much for so long, it was time to do what a villain should do. All those so-called heroes, get lost! With a perfect plan, the explosion of the black scale stone would send Su Kexin straight to the heavens.

This was the ultimate villain’s plan to annihilate, far superior to the weak attempt of stabbing a heart with a knife!

Filled with vigor, the rugged path of Fish Peak Valley was nothing to him, as if he were walking on flat ground.

Unknowingly, Lin Nuo had traversed most of the trail in Fish Peak Valley and found a spot halfway up the mountain, just perfect to oversee the alchemy chamber.

If there were a camera, he would have recorded it to watch every day, taking pride in destroying the hero, just as others take pride in defeating the demon lord.

However…

Just as he turned a corner, he discovered someone.

And that person discovered him as well.

Their eyes met in a direct gaze.

He never expected to encounter this person.

Who was this person?

It was the alchemy instructor, Yu Zheng!

And Yu Zheng had never imagined that this youngster, who had appeared in his spiritual vision before, would actually come halfway up the mountain!

Now, the same thought crossed their minds:

Damn, have I been discovered?!

The atmosphere turned tense, both Lin Nuo and Yu Zheng felt uneasy, as both harbored their own ulterior motives.

The two people who were supposed to be in the alchemy chamber had both ended up halfway up the mountain.

How utterly absurd!

Both had chosen a hidden, rugged path, both had found a great spot, both waiting to witness the alchemy chamber’s explosion!

Yet, in reality, the alchemy chamber was still intact, without the slightest disturbance.

Both were well aware of the properties of the black scale stone; the temperature for alchemy and the spiritual environment were certainly enough to cause an explosion! Especially in the final stage, whether it was Mu Yiting or Su Kexin channeling spirit energy, it could definitely trigger the black scale stone!

But it didn’t happen. The black scale stone did not explode, and all was calm.

It shouldn’t be like this. It should have exploded by now. There couldn’t possibly be a miscalculation.

Why, just why? Where did it go wrong?!

It’s highly likely that my own scheme was seen through by the person opposite me, who then deliberately came from the alchemy room to intercept me!

Lin Nuo is certain that the alchemist must have seen through his plan and is now here to stop him.

I must find a way to outwit him.

And Yu Zheng, now taking another look at the images brought by his spiritual sense, is shocked.

The alchemy has ended, Su Kexin and Mu Yiting’s spirit operation has finished!

It’s all over… and it didn’t explode, this…

I can’t understand why there was no explosion. I calculated everything clearly, and I even checked—the black scale stone was genuine, placed right in the furnace. I watched the entire process, and Mu Yiting and the others didn’t recognize that there was a black scale stone inside.

Was it this kid who sabotaged it?

No, even if it was, how would he dare to come alone? Or did he calculate the exact moment it was about to explode to come over?

In an instant, the spiritual sense Yu Zheng placed in the alchemy room was discovered by the other elders, and the spiritual sense automatically dissipated.

Damn it, discovered by those old men, the plan failed, and going back like this means I’ll be punished by the adults.

Maybe I should just kill this kid and leave.

But is this kid really the one who thwarted the black scale stone plan?

Let’s test him.

Yu Zheng adjusts his demeanor, maintaining a normal expression, and smiles at Lin Nuo: “Lin Nuo, weren’t you busy with alchemy? Why did you run out here? How’s the golden elixir coming along?”

Lin Nuo sneers: “I placed a black stone, but unfortunately, things aren’t going smoothly.”

Yu Zheng feigns confusion: “What black stone?”

Lin Nuo: “Those who know, know.”

In just two short exchanges, Yu Zheng is certain that Lin Nuo knows about the black scale stone. Lin Nuo says he placed it himself, undoubtedly hinting that Yu Zheng did it! The lack of smooth progress signifies failure!

How could he know? Even if he knew, it would be impossible for him to stop the explosion of the black scale stone inside. Even if he used superior spiritual techniques, Yu Zheng would have noticed.

But throughout the process, he was just ordinarily operating the spirit for alchemy, nothing special.

From noble mtl dot come

Yu Zheng doesn’t understand, but still, he must remain calm, keeping his usual expression.

Yu Zheng continues to smile: “How did you know?”

“I’ve known for a long time, knew that you would be here, but I still came.”

Lin Nuo remains unflustered in the face of danger, maintaining his composure. Even if his plan has failed, he can’t lose his footing. He must keep up his momentum, take the initiative, “Your current situation is very dangerous, I suggest you go back quickly.”

Lin Nuo’s eyes are filled with murderous intent, a world-destroying villain, who, if he wishes, can reveal such a fierce and intimidating gaze.

Although he has no good solutions at the moment, he first intimidates the opponent, suppressing them with momentum and psychologically, then he’ll look for a flaw to take him down later.

Lin Nuo’s eyes change, and even Yu Zheng is taken aback.

He said he knew I would be here, and then he said my situation is dangerous, suggesting I should go back quickly?

Could it be that he is the one sent by the higher-ups to watch over me?!
