As a villain, it's perfectly reasonable for me to have a few hundred million different identiti

Fourteen Provinces - Frosty Blade God: [This year, there are still ten spots available for the Sword Hall.]

[The Sword Master has agreed, exchanging one spot for the Mysterious Vermilion Fruit.]

Currently, Senior Brother Jian's disciple, Ling Qiao, is on his way to Qiu Lan Kingdom.

【By the way, Master, I have something really funny to tell you!】

Lin Yuan's grandson, Lin Yu, is actually an unparalleled vengeful spirit and a top-tier simp!

[They emptied their savings to raise a destitute illegitimate daughter into a pampered princess!]

[But then that illegitimate daughter dumped him in the blink of an eye and got together with a poor boy from Qiu Lanwu's academy!]

As expected, those who fawn over their idols end up with nothing!

Even so, Lin Yu still used his last possessions to obtain a low-grade Earth-rank Mist-like Fruit for his illegitimate daughter!

Fortunately, Lin Yuan had always treasured the Xuanzhu Fruit, otherwise that sycophant would definitely have used it to seduce his illegitimate daughter!

[In all my years, I've never seen such a bizarre simp!]

Master, isn't this funny?! Hahahaha—

Master, why aren't you smiling?

Lin Yu: "..."

I don't laugh because I'm not naturally inclined to laugh.

Fourteen Provinces - Sword God Frostbite: [Hehehe, if I'm not mistaken, that simp will probably give the Sword Hall spot to his illegitimate daughter.]

However, we can't just give away the quotas from our fourteen states like that.

Who knows what other mindless things that simp will do then?

[What a pity! If I weren't still investigating the whereabouts of Ghost Doctor Shura, I would definitely go to Qiu Lan Kingdom in person to see firsthand how that sycophantic man is licking his boots!]

Lin Yu: "..."

Suddenly, I felt a sense of social shame.

Please, please keep your identity hidden.

Otherwise, his lifelong reputation would be completely ruined!

Not only must the Nightless Marquis's disguise be concealed, but the Ghost Doctor Shura's disguise must also be kept hidden!

The Ghost Doctor Shura recently looted the treasure vaults of the eight ancient clans of the heavens.

He is currently wanted by the eight ancient clans of the wilderness.

Fourteen Provinces - Frosty Blade God: [By the way, Master, when will you come to collect the Mysterious Vermilion Fruit, or should I deliver it to you?]

Marquis of Nevernight: [No need, you can keep it for yourself.]

Fourteen Provinces - Frosty Blade God: [...]

Lin Yu put away the communication talisman, looking utterly hopeless.

The Fourteen States was the earliest intelligence organization established by Lin Yu.

It is led by Lin Yu's two disciples, Sword God Yijian and Blade God Shuanghan.

It has subordinate Sword Hall and Blade Sect, and recruits and absorbs powerful individuals and forces from all over the world to join it.

Any powerful individual or force that joins the Fourteen Provinces can share intelligence with the Fourteen Provinces.

After twelve years of development, the Fourteen States have become the premier intelligence organization in all the heavens.

Its intelligence system has spread to all the myriad realms.

Lin Yu was able to complete the system missions across countless worlds in just twelve years, thanks in no small part to the intelligence capabilities of the fourteen states.

……

Lin Yu sat on the bed with a bitter smile on his face.

"Fortunately, we've broken free from the control of the plot, otherwise what Shuanghan said might have really happened."

"However, in the original story, there was no story about Ling Qiao coming to Qiu Lan Kingdom."

"It must have been my arrival that changed the plot..."

"This is a good thing, it means that the shitty plot has started to fall apart."

In the original plot.

Without the Lord of Nevernight, there would be no Fourteen Provinces, no Sword God Yijian, no Blade God Shuanghan, and no Overturning Sea Sword Saint Lingqiao.

Lin Yu was just an ordinary spoiled rich kid.

"Now, I should be able to cultivate normally, right?"

Lin Yu's character design.

Besides being a simp for Han Ruobing, the illegitimate daughter of Marquis Pingyuan.

He was just a good-for-nothing, lazy, and good-for-nothing rich kid who did whatever he wanted all day.

Despite possessing considerable talent for cultivation and access to top-tier cultivation resources, he consistently refuses to cultivate.

Initially, Lin Yu discovered that he couldn't escape the control of the plot because of his cultivation issues.

No matter how hard he tries, the true energy he cultivates will dissipate in an instant.

It gives the impression that he's faking his efforts.

The ten realms of martial arts.

Qi Refining, Yuan Absorption, Spiritual Sea, Mysterious Light, Purple Mansion, Divine Connection, Earth Transformation, Celestial Phenomena, Reflecting the Sky, Heavenly Gate.

At seventeen, Lin Yu had just barely stepped into the threshold of Qi Refining.

Given his background, this is undoubtedly a joke among his peers.

At this moment, Lin Yu was no longer sleepy.

He calmed himself down and decided to try cultivating.

bang——

suddenly.

Lin Yu's door was suddenly pushed open.

A young man dressed in fine clothes, with an arrogant expression, walked in from outside the door.

He said arrogantly to Lin Yu, "My sister is about to come out of seclusion. Where are the Mist-like Fruits? Bring them here!"

This young man was none other than Han Ruobing's younger brother, Han Ruoli.

He was also an illegitimate son of the Marquis of Pingyuan.

Thanks to Lin Yu's connections, the siblings successfully returned to the Marquis of Pingyuan's residence.

Along with this, the already declining Pingyuan Marquis's mansion also rose in status and its strength increased exponentially.

Han Ruobing and her brother Han Ruoli even entered Qiu Lanwu Academy, becoming the envy of everyone.

Han Ruoli was originally a complete good-for-nothing.

However, thanks to the massive resources provided by Lin Yu, he managed to reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

Because of Han Ruobing's usual attitude towards Lin Yu.

Han Ruoli treated him with disrespect and never gave him a kind look.

Lin Yu frowned.

He took out a dark, misty fruit, about the size of a fist, from his pocket.

It was the priceless, low-grade earth-rank spiritual fruit, the Mist-Radiance Fruit.

"Misty Fruit!"

Han Ruoli's eyes lit up slightly upon seeing this.

Lin Yu looked up and put the fruit in his mouth.

click -

"What fruit?"

Han Ruoli looked astonished: "Misty Fruit..."

Lin Yu took another bite, "What's this 'Misty Ripples'?"

It wasn't until this moment that Han Ruoli realized what was happening.

He was furious and raised his hand to slap Lin Yu across the face.

"Lin Yu! How dare you steal my sister's Misty Fruit!!"

This slap, delivered with full force and accompanied by a whistling sound, came straight at Lin Yu's face.

Han Ruoli's late-stage Qi Refining cultivation was brought to its full potential.

However, in the next instant...

Lin Yu slowly extended his right hand and lightly grasped Han Ruoli's hand.

"You, you, you, let go right now!!"

Han Ruoli let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

He felt as if Lin Yu's hand was a pair of pliers, almost crushing his right wrist.

Lin Yu raised his left hand and slowly took a bite of the misty fruit.

"Tell me, whose fruit is this?"

Upon seeing this, Han Ruoli's expression turned ferocious.

"Die!!!"

His body suddenly leaped into the air, and he kicked towards Lin Yu's head.

This kick was also delivered with full force.

An ordinary martial artist in the early stage of Qi Refining would absolutely not be able to withstand this kick.

Even if they don't die, they'll be crippled.

He sensed the murderous intent on Han Ruoli's face.

Lin Yu chuckled and then exerted force with his right hand.

Click!

"what--"

With a scream, Han Ruoli's right wrist was snapped by Lin Yu.

His body, which had been airborne, crashed heavily to the ground.

thump—

next moment.

Lin Yu raised her foot and kicked him out of the room.

Han Ruoli's body, like a cannonball, crashed heavily out of Lin Yu's secluded courtyard.
