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

104. My Vision Is Far Inferior to His

The disciples begin to gather around the alchemy furnace, watching the two black scale stones burning with flames and Lin Nuo.

“Is this the Blackscale Stone? It’s my first time seeing it. I’ve heard it has a powerful explosive force.”

“Yes, it should be enough to blow up this alchemy room.”

“Where did Lin Nuo find it?”

…

Lin Nuo stared at the Blackscale Stone, lost in thought. Looking back, it wasn’t his first failure.

It seemed that every attempt to strike at Su Kexin ended in failure. Failure was just that, but in the end, he was always crowned the righteous hero by fate.

What is this nonsense? I’m clearly holding the villain’s script, right? Who the hell changed my script?

“How is it now?”

Sect Leader Zhao walked over to inquire about the elder who was dealing with the Blackscale Stone.

“The situation is stable for now, but the fireworks need to naturally extinguish. Afterwards, these two pieces of Blackscale Stone will need to be disposed of.”

“Good, thank you for your efforts.”

The thought of disposing of the Blackscale Stone pained Lin Nuo.

Damn it, I went through so much trouble to get a piece of Blackscale Stone, and now you’re treating it like trash.

But this Blackscale Stone has been stewing in the cauldron for a long time and can no longer be used. It’s hard to predict when it might explode; it could very well blow me up instead.

The plan to blow up the protagonist with the Blackscale Stone has truly gone bankrupt.

Sect Leader Zhao raised his voice and announced to the disciples, “Everyone, it was just a false alarm, all is well now. Here, I would like to formally commend Lin Nuo. He knew of Yu Zheng’s plan in advance and, to avoid startling the snake, cleverly used the second Blackscale Stone to defuse the crisis. Then he went alone to intercept Yu Zheng, engaging him until we successfully subdued him. Yu Zheng stole our sect’s secret manual and was full of cunning, but no matter, justice is never absent. Lin Nuo saved us all, and Xuan Yun Sect will surely reward him generously!”

Thunderous applause erupted nearby, and every disciple offered Lin Nuo their highest respect.

Once mocked as an ignorant, ill-tempered young master, a second-tier weakling scorned by all, a cultivator whose reputation and abilities were questioned, now received recognition from everyone present, a true, unyielding hero.

Flowers and applause are the goals of a cultivator, yet Lin Nuo couldn’t feel happy.

What kind of farce is this? I, a grand villain, plotted to blow you all to the heavens, and yet you hail me as a hero?

This world is too crazy, villains turning into heroes!

Completely ashamed, utterly without a place to hide, this is nothing short of a disgrace for a grand villain.

“Senior brother, what’s wrong? You don’t look so good.”

Noticing Lin Nuo’s pallor, Su Kexin expressed her anxious concern.

The troubled Lin Nuo held his forehead, “I’m tired.”

“Oh, so senior brother is tired. Then you should hurry back and rest.”

Su Kexin wanted to support Lin Nuo, but he waved his hand and refused.

“I’ll go back on my own.”

With that, he turned and left, and the disciples respectfully made way, sending him off with reverent gazes.

Not long after Lin Nuo left, Fairy Han rushed over anxiously.

“Master, I’ve heard that Yu Zheng has rebelled, secretly hiding a Black Scale Stone to blow up the disciples. What’s the situation now?”

“It has been settled. The credit goes to Lin Nuo. He used another Black Scale Stone to contain Yu Zheng’s explosion, without alarming the enemy. He also figured out Yu Zheng’s escape route, intercepted him, engaged in a struggle, and subdued him with a hidden weapon, waiting for our support.”

“Lin Nuo?”

Fairy Han was surprised, hearing Lin Nuo’s name associated with a major event again, and this time he had saved everyone, “But how did he get the Black Scale Stone? Our sect does not allow the purchase of such forbidden items.”

“He didn’t buy it. Shi Li saw him slay the Dark Alliance members and take it. He intended to hand it over to the sect, but when he discovered Yu Zheng’s treachery, he turned the tables and used it to thwart Yu Zheng’s plot. Also, it was Shi Li who found him putting the Black Scale Stone and materials into the pill furnace. Seeing his great merit, we won’t pursue the matter of him using the Black Scale Stone without permission.”

“Shi Li saw it? Where is she?”

Fairy Han looked around but didn’t see the aloof silver-haired girl.

“Sister has left,” a disciple replied.

…

Lin Nuo deliberately took a long way to the residential area, not wanting to encounter anyone from Xuan Yun Sect and be called a hero to his face—who could stand that?

Today, he must roast ten pigeons to vent his anger!

As Lin Nuo walked, he heard the click-clack of high heels.

Mysterious silver-white hair, enticing black silk legs, the noble Qin Shi Li appeared before Lin Nuo.

“What do you want?”

Lin Nuo asked, annoyed.

Qin Shi Li approached Lin Nuo, gently flipping her silver-white hair, releasing a faint fragrance.

“I didn’t expect you to use your Black Scale Stone today. I thought you had used it last time.”

“Last time?”

From noble mtl dot come

Lin Nuo caught the implication in Qin Shi Li’s words, “Youcheng? You saw me?”

“Yes, I saw.”

Qin Shi Li admitted frankly, “And your Black Scale Stone, I saw you buy it. There was an explosion at that time, and I thought it was the Black Scale Stone bombing. I was wrong.”

“Oh, is that so? Anything else?”

“Actually, you saw what I bought at that time, right?”

Qin Shi Li was straightforward, getting to the point.

Lin Nuo didn’t hide it, saying bluntly, “Yes, I saw. But don’t worry, I won’t talk. I have no intention of interfering with your choices.”

Lin Nuo waved his hand and continued walking, but Qin Shi Li kept following him.

She needed to understand this man. Right now, it was all trivial matters, but she couldn’t fathom his way of thinking.

She thought he bought the Black Scale Stone to detonate and kill the Dark Alliance members, not knowing he would use it in today’s alchemy, not only to limit Yu Zheng’s explosion but also to capture him off guard.

So, he had seen through Yu Zheng’s conspiracy early on and had long prepared a strategy to defeat the enemy.

If chess were the analogy, she could foresee three moves ahead, but Lin Nuo could envision ten or even more.

By comparison, her insight and vision were far from enough. No wonder she could only see the superficial aspects of him, while he had long seen through her inner thoughts.

“Why are you still following me? This isn’t your style.”

“I want to understand you.”

“That’s absurd. Understanding me is less useful than cultivating.”

“Understanding you is part of my cultivation.”

“Why? What’s the benefit of understanding me?”

“Because you’ve understood me, I must understand you.”

“Huh? I understand you? If I wanted to understand you, I would have charmed you into my arms by now.”

Lin Nuo found the conversation utterly nonsensical. How could he possibly understand the mysterious, aloof silver-haired goddess? Take the present moment, for instance; he had no clue about her thought process.

The two walking together resembled a pair of Daoist companions strolling leisurely.

Yet this scene was witnessed by Liu Shuqin, who had just returned from Beishan, and something seemed to tug at her heartstrings.
