Translator: Fate Proofreader: Dhael Ligerkeys & Silavin Naturally, Gu Changge made the assumption based on the web novels he was intimately familiar with in his previous life. No matter how he perceived it, Lin Tian was no ordinary rascal. Unlike his sister who was so anxious in Gu Changge’s presence, he was bold enough to tail the young master. Moreover, earlier, he sensed the boy who was hiding himself and recognized it was Lin Tian. Nonetheless, right after he detected Lin Tian’s presence, the boy quickly left without tarrying, and such a mindset wasn’t what a usual teenager would bear. “It clearly indicates that your advice works given how he’s willing to sympathize with you. In this world, a man without power is equivalent to a maggot. Above all, you only want the best for him.” Gu Changge revealed a beam, continuing his casual conversation with Lin Qiuhan to dig up more about Lin Han. Essentially, no one understood Lin Tian more than his very sister. As Lin Qiuhan was oblivious to Gu Changge’s intention, she couldn’t help but be moved by his words, wondering if he was indeed comforting her. With that, she proceeded with the conversation and told quite a number of stories of Lin Tian. Smiling, Gu Changge engaged in the chat as he discovered numerous details about Lin Tian. For instance, Lin Tian had been rather interested in Alchemy, and would seek his sister to gather the required materials. Other than that, he had mastered several ancient Techniques, and even outlined the mistakes performed by a few elders during lessons, rendering his peers intrigued. As Gu Changge had a grasp of the situation, a thought popped into his mind. [Harvesting this new Fortuitous One is easier than I imagined. Once Negative Fortuity is gotten over with, I’ll have even more methods to deal with him] [It’s unfathomable how much Prince Gu can relate to me…] Lin Han was touched. “I wish Tian could understand me as you do. He thinks I’m too hard on him,” she helplessly claimed, though she found comfort in the fact that Lin Tian finally thought things through, and she found her years of concern for him didn’t go in vain. What she found even more fortunate was that, at the time when the entire Lin Family was baffled by her behavior, Gu Changge was able to understand her. As such, an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart. Having trained for more than twenty years, she finally acknowledged how it felt to be moved in her first encounter with Gu Changge. In fact, countless handsome, talented young men had attempted to pursue her, but her heart never once faltered. Undoubtedly, Gu Changge could read her current thoughts. After all, everything was going as he anticipated. Given his alluring appearance and resourcefulness as well as his behavior and insights from the past, he was able to effortlessly put an intelligent girl like Su Qingge under his thumb. Lin Qiuhan, on the other hand, was more innocent than Su Qingge. Hence, making her waver was much easier, and it wouldn’t even cause him to break a sweat. Furthermore, instead of facing Lin Tian straightforwardly, starting with Lin Qiuhan would prove remarkably undemanding and fascinating. In the meantime, Su Qingge, who was wordlessly observing their exchange, had a deeper understanding toward Gu Changge as she discovered more and more of his psychological tactics. “It’s a good thing that Lin Tian is willing to change for the better. He must have been a soiled treasure back then. Apart from being able to point out the elders’ mistakes in just a few days, his Talents…” At that moment, Gu Changge sounded rather in awe as if his expression wasn’t at all deliberate. It was simply out of astonishment. “A soiled treasure? Why so? Besides, his Talents… He couldn’t even break through to Spiritual Sea Realm back then…” Hearing that, Lin Qiuhan subconsciously chuckled, but she didn’t manage to finish her sentence. All of a sudden, she was stunned, sensing something was off. Nevertheless, she couldn’t quite figure out what it was. “Not even Spiritual Sea Realm, huh? Then how does he know about alchemy? Has he perhaps learned some sort of lost ancient technique? Though, I’ve heard about a certain lost ancient technique that allows a cultivator to perform alchemy even without achieving Spiritual Sea Realm. It seems Lin Tian is certainly ‘Fortuitous.'” Seemingly surprised, Gu Changge spoke as if he was muttering to himself. Since Lin Qiuhan wasn’t able to perceive it, he might as well subtly guide her mind toward the answer. Seeing her perturbation and her eyes full of disruption, he knew it was time for him to stop and smiled without uttering another word. … Meanwhile, after Gu Changge had noticed his presence, Lin Tian stopped tailing them and quickly fled. He was obviously enraged as flames surged in his heart, mainly due to the crippling sentiment. Now that he had sensed that Gu Changge’s power was overbearing, the fact that he was a rebirthed Cursed Spirit hindered him from precisely estimating Gu Changge’s true strength. Alas, what he found shocking was that his sister, who was always very strict with him, was behaving so bashfully like a little girl in front of another man, and that was at their first encounter, even! Lin Tian was disappointed to see such a scene. It felt as if something of him was taken out of his grasp. Angered, he clenched his fists so tightly cracks could be heard. At the very least, his mental strength that he cultivated in his previous life didn’t go to waste. Swiftly, he calmed his heart down and eventually regained composure. [That so-called Prince Gu obviously bears no good intentions, and his appearance alone says so. I’ll have to tell Lin Qiuhan to look out for him or she just might fall into his trap. Since he’s invaded my territory, he can’t blame me for defending it!] A few moments ago, Lin Tian was still hesitating whether to make a move on Gu Changge in order to seize the woman in white’s physique, but that was no longer a question as he was now given a motive to engage. After all, Gu Changge was the one who crossed the line first. … In a flash, it was already night. Thanks to the return of the Lin Family’s Prime Ancestor, the Central Sky Domain was in a huge turmoil and every land was engulfed in liveliness as countless cultivators were chatting about it. The Lin Family was extensively spreading the news across the vast land, causing great commotion in every ancient city. With that, every force and Sect were shocked and thus sent disciples of their own to see the Lin Family’s Prime Ancestor. Meanwhile, in the palace where Gu Changge was arranged by the Lin Family to reside in, Gu Changge was resting his arm on the window frame as he stood beside it. The moon graced the lands while his black robe flew in the wind, as if he was shielded by a heavenly aura. Donning a straight face, he was silently pondering. He pretty much figured out Lin Tian the new Fortuitous One’s identity—a reincarnation of one of innumerable daunting warrior’s cursed spirits. Essentially, judging by Lin Tian’s reaction, he didn’t seem to know what the future held, and that made him another vulnerable target of Gu Changge’s. Nonetheless, what Gu Changge found surprising was that, back then, Lin Tian being outside the grand hall, was actually staring at Su Qingge. [It’s always me, the antagonist, who eyes another man’s woman, but now this Fortuitous One is aiming for my woman? Jeez, you don’t have to be so eager to die, you know? It’s only a matter of time for a crop to meet its destiny.]
