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

108. The Mars Collides with Earth Plan

—

So, the words on the note were undoubtedly written by Lin Nuo, but given his low-key and unassuming way of handling things, if asked directly, he would certainly deny it.

Well, there’s no need to ask too clearly; it’s enough that we both know.

“Your mood seems good.”

The lazy Dao Yuan Spirit Cat, dragging its plump body, approached Qin Shili.

Qin Shili, usually aloof and cold, her face frosty, only today, while perusing “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” she actually cracked a slight smile.

“Because I’ve had an epiphany.”

Qin Shili candidly shared with the Dao Yuan Spirit Cat using a voice transmission spell.

“An epiphany about what?”

“About what was written on the note, the guidance he provided before, I never fully grasped it until he proved it with his actions. Holding fast to the righteous and moral stance, walking on the edge of an abyss, one can achieve extraordinary feats.”

“Oh, I’m aware of his deeds, everyone has been talking about him lately, it’s quite the tale for my century.”

“Even the seniors hold him in such high regard, indeed, he possesses exceptional talent.”

Qin Shili grew more certain of her deductions. For her, Lin Nuo’s presence was a godsend, clearing her confusion, dispelling her doubts. The notion that she was the strongest among her peers should have been overturned; there was someone stronger, indeed, it was Lin Nuo.

“He’s here today as well.”

“He is? I didn’t see him.”

“Because the book he’s reading today is quite different from his usual choices.”

No sooner had the Dao Yuan Spirit Cat spoken than it continued dragging its plump body, leisurely departing.

Quite different from his usual choices?

Qin Shili couldn’t sit still any longer, quickly getting up to search for Lin Nuo.

She soon found Lin Nuo, who today, unlike his usual spot, had found a small corner and was deeply engrossed in reading.

[The Past.]

Without a second thought, Qin Shili walked straight towards Lin Nuo.

After his rebirth, Lin Nuo set two records in the Zi Shu Pavilion.

The longest reading duration in Zi Shu Pavilion, the most books borrowed, even becoming a role model for the disciples to emulate.

He read extensively, “The Yin-Yang Art,” “The Alchemy Essentials,” “The Fundamental Qi Cultivation,” “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” “The Martial World’s Laughter,” “The Plum in the Golden Vase,” and others, covering a wide range of fields, truly a well-read and knowledge-thirsty exemplary youth.

He approached reading with purpose, selecting books like “The Yin-Yang Secret” to understand the balance of energies, “The Alchemy Essentials” for insights into potion-making, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to elevate his spiritual realm, “The Martial World’s Laughter” for a grasp of humor in life, and “The Plum in the Golden Vase” for… ahem, an appreciation of the human form—no, the art of literature.

Today’s reading diverged from his usual path, venturing into uncharted domains.

“Stellar Heavens,” the book he was currently engrossed in, delved into the celestial bodies governed by the heavens—a treatise on astrology within this world of spiritual cultivation. Unlike modern astronomical texts that revered science, “Stellar Heavens” also embraced the esoteric theories of gods, demons, and spirits.

As long as one could gaze upon the stars, there existed celestial bodies, and with them, a cadre of curious scholars eager to study and pen volumes on the subject.

Lin Nuo was far from idle; he read with a thirst for knowledge, especially now, as he plotted an assassination scheme more explosive than any black scale stone—a plan dubbed “Mars Crashes into Earth.”

A reborn individual, he wielded knowledge of the future, yet he was aware of the butterfly effect—a minor action could trigger a cascade of events, altering outcomes.

His experiences had shown him consistencies with the past, but also changes; in short, the future was no longer predictable.

But!

This only applied to the world beneath the heavens!

Celestial bodies beyond were a different matter entirely.

In his memory, a disaster loomed—a meteor named “Heavenly Fire” destined to fall, obliterating a region.

Even as a reborn man, inadvertently altering history, Lin Nuo knew he couldn’t prevent the fall of the “Heavenly Fire” meteor. Its impact and the destruction it wrought were historical inevitabilities, beyond his power to change.

He harbored a bold idea—to lure Su Kexin to the meteor’s impact site. Could she ascend to the heavens and withstand the meteor’s fall with her near-blood burst ability?

Did she think she was Saitama, capable of obliterating it with a single punch?

She wasn’t bald, so on what grounds?

Lin Nuo flipped through “Stellar Heavens,” examining records of celestial bodies plummeting to earth. No one had ever stopped such a fall; it was an inevitability.

This reassured Lin Nuo. The black scale stone’s failure to detonate was due to human intervention, but the “Heavenly Fire” meteor would not be extinguished. Earthly chaos couldn’t affect the heavens.

Based on his recollections, Lin Nuo consulted the map of the Puhan Dynasty, searching for the meteor’s landing site.

Near a city called Hu, “Heavenly Fire” would descend.

He could only approximate the location, not having been a victim of the impact nor a witness, but merely informed by hearsay.

There was time. He could deduce the general vicinity of the fall, then craft a detailed battle plan to logically draw Su Kexin there, while he escaped the impact zone, ensuring a tidy resolution.

The greatest advantage of the “Mars Crashes into Earth” plan was that Su Kexin’s death would appear as a natural disaster, leaving no blame at his feet. Moreover, it required no intricate planning—simply guiding her into the impact range would be effortless.

As Lin Nuo perused his books, a silver-haired girl, Qin Shili, approached, pulled up a chair beside him, and sat down unceremoniously.

From noble mtl dot come

The library of Zi Shuge was sparsely populated, with plenty of seats, yet Qin Shili chose to sit next to him.

Qin Shili’s focus wasn’t on her own book, but rather on the one Lin Nuo was studying.

“Stellar Heavens,” she murmured, “I didn’t expect you to delve into this field.”

Her soft words put Lin Nuo on alert.

He remained calm, not rushing, his plans secure in his mind, unknown to anyone. To Qin Shili, he was merely a scholar of celestial knowledge.

“Just browsing,” Lin Nuo replied indifferently.

“You’ve read a wide range of books, fitting for your abilities.”

“I have no such abilities.”

“Then consider it nonsense from me.”

Qin Shili also began to flip through her books, but she couldn’t concentrate as before, part of her attention was on Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo ignored her, after all, he hadn’t done anything wrong, and this was the library, what could she do?

“Senior brother, may I sit here?”

Lin Nuo heard a familiar voice, turned his head, and there was Su Kexin, who had come over unnoticed.

“Thank you, senior brother.”

Su Kexin smiled and sat down beside him.

Lin Nuo: “…”

I haven’t said anything yet.
