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

107. Lin Nuo’s Leading by Example

“This…”

Mu Yiting listened, her heart fluttering with panic, “I’ve already sent a message back home, warning my family.”

“The letter might be intercepted.”

“Did you roast my pigeon again?”

“…It wasn’t me… Forget it, you figure it out.”

Lin Nuo didn’t want to elaborate further; the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, and he had already said too much.

Mu Yiting’s fate was always rough; the underworld is full of deceit and treachery, fighting tooth and nail for profit. If they’re already plotting your demise, would they let you send out warnings?

If I were an underworld figure, wouldn’t I have captured your pigeon long ago?

Oh, it seems I’m also capturing your pigeon right now, but that’s okay.

No, the purpose is different. I, Lin Nuo, capture your pigeon to satisfy my palate, while the underworld captures your pigeon to intercept information.

Lin Nuo subconsciously picked up the bottle of Ke Han water, but it was empty. There was only so much of the black joy water, and it wasn’t satisfying to drink.

“Prepare more next time.”

Lin Nuo shook the empty bottle at Mu Yiting.

“Sure, if you want to drink, I’ll mix it for you. Compared to the life-saving favor you did for me, this is nothing.”

The restored Mu Yiting, no longer coquettish and whiny, was straightforward and spoke briskly.

That’s why Lin Nuo enjoyed talking with this version of Mu Yiting—straight to the point, sparing the usual polite platitudes.

Lin Nuo had to admit, he had grown fond of this joy water. Although saving her was unintentional, the fact remained that he did save her, so it was only fair to ask her to make more joy water.

Leaning against the big tree, Lin Nuo took a moment to rest. What better way to soothe worries than with joy water? A series of recent failures had left him feeling frustrated, but drinking the Ke Han water, a cool sensation flowed through him, dispelling his irritability.

Sigh~

He took a deep breath, and instantly felt much more at ease.

“You’re very strange.”

Mu Yiting looked at Lin Nuo’s sudden lazy demeanor, quite puzzled, “You’re a person of great strength, you should discipline yourself, but now you seem so indolent. Or is it an act you put on in front of me? It seems I’ve been underestimated. I face you with my true self, yet you still hide behind a mask.”

“Don’t misunderstand, this is indeed my true self,” Lin Nuo said lazily. “The world is indeed strange; falsehoods are believed, while the truth is questioned.”

“What about the last mental trial?”

“That was indeed my true illusion.”

“And the inner demon?”

“That thing doesn’t exist.”

“But now the rumor is that both you and Master Cong have been killed by inner demons. Only the inner demons born from deep malice and obsession could possess such formidable power,” Mu Yiting continued to express her thoughts.

“You’re just short-sighted.”

Lin Nuo chuckled coldly, “You could create a fake illusion to deceive those old men. Isn’t it normal for Old Man Cong to die in my illusion?”

“You knew my illusion was fake?!”

Mu Yiting was shocked once again. She had used secret methods to create the false illusion, and even the respected elders and masters couldn’t see through it. Moreover, at that time, Lin Nuo was also undergoing the trial of the mind and didn’t notice her illusion. How could he have known she created a fake one?

“How did you know?”

“Just consider it a guess.”

Lin Nuo continued to sneer, “I’d advise you to focus on yourself. The explosion of the Black Scale Stone is just the beginning. Good luck to you.”

Lin Nuo rose slightly, shrugged his shoulders, swung his arms, and walked away leisurely.

[Who exactly is he]

Mu Yiting was filled with layers of mysteries in her heart. This person named Lin Nuo was unfathomable, seemingly having insight into everything, yet his strange character was elusive.

Clearly a disciple of a noble sect, everything he did proclaimed justice.

Yet, why did he seem like a venomous person?

Was it her own misconception? Or was she confused by his ever-changing image?

Mu Yiting thought she was close to understanding him, but now, all her previous observations had to be overturned. What was real and what was false, she had no clue.

Perhaps he was right; she should focus back on herself, as her situation was quite perilous.

…

At Tianling Mountain, in the Zishu Pavilion.

The elegant silver-haired girl sat quietly at her desk, her slender hands flipping through the pages of a book. The warm sun poured through the window onto her silvery hair, every move she made exuded a noble and graceful aura.

She was now reading the bitter and difficult book “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” turning once again to the page with a few written sentences.

On the paper were only the handwriting of two people, also their first heart-to-heart conversation.

A few short sentences, starting with her own words, “I once had the blue sea and sky, my heart yearns for the deep abyss,” followed by “Fate known, yet not bowed to.” She still clearly knew the guidance this sentence provided her.

It was to guide her to find a balance between the blue sea and sky and the deep abyss, to stand firm in the righteous path, navigating the deep abyss.

She had always been trying to comprehend this truth, only unclear on how to practice it, until the incident in the alchemy room with the Black Scale Stone, which gave her a deeper understanding.

Lin Nuo was guiding her through his actions, what it meant to stand firm in the righteous path, navigating the deep abyss.

The Black Scale Stone was forbidden, as was the black market. Yet, Lin Nuo had acquired the Black Scale Stone from the black market. The explosive power of the Black Scale Stone was immense, and those with malicious intent would use it for heinous acts, such as in wars, to destroy innocent lives for profit, or for vendettas in the martial world, like the dark forces against Xuan Yun Sect. Different sects and organizations with opposing stances would always use banned destructive items to retaliate against the righteous sects.

Often, the righteous sects were somewhat powerless against the dark forces. It was easy to defend against open attacks but hard against hidden ones. The righteous sects were bound by too many constraints; they had to act within the moral guidelines and couldn’t use items banned by the rules, being in the light. But the dark forces could; they had no moral compass, they could use forbidden items at will, being in the dark. For many years, the righteous sects struggled against the dark forces, paying a heavy price. The righteous sects often became prey, in the light, suffering from hidden attacks.

But Lin Nuo calmly and intelligently dealt with Yu Zheng, saving everyone, breaking the stalemate.

He used the methods of the dark forces, went to the black market, bought the Black Scale Stone, breaking the constraints of the rules, but still maintained the righteous stance, using darkness to control darkness, using the Black Scale Stone to limit the Black Scale Stone. And when subduing Yu Zheng, he used the Soul Numbing Needle, a weapon considered shameful by disciples of Xuan Yun Sect. But Yu Zheng was vicious, and he subdued him with a vicious method.

From noble mtl dot come

Though the process involved unsavory means and the use of forbidden Black Scale Stones, from the outcome, it’s clear he did it to save everyone, adhering to the principles of a righteous hero.

Isn’t this the very definition of a steadfast and upright stance, walking on the edge of an abyss?
