Often, those with great fortune are not just one person, but several or a group of people.

In this small world, the chosen one is Lou Xiao, but there are two chosen ones: Lu Sijian and Mu Liangyue.

The two are destined to have a relationship of ebb and flow, and if they fight to the point of mutual destruction, it might bring about the demise of the entire small world.

The intervention of God's Kingdom is indeed a form of salvation in a certain sense.

"What will happen to those you've chosen as mission takers?" Lian Buman asked, frowning.

The fake Lu Ting smiled strangely: "Of course, she'll be extradited to the Divine Kingdom to fulfill the agreement and give her endless money."

Xia Youyou: "Wait a minute, wasn't the Divine Kingdom destroyed? There's no one left, what's the use of money?"

The fake Lu Ting glanced at her: "Of course there are people in the Divine Kingdom. Over the endless years, we have resurrected many of our people and guided countless people from small worlds. We have countless riches and materials. You probably have never seen the dazzling lights and decadent atmosphere outside the temple."

He paused, then added, "What you should worry about is earning money but not living to spend it. If she commits an unforgivable crime, she will have to go to trial. At best, she'll be imprisoned for a few years and can enjoy a life of debauchery afterward. At worst, she'll be on the guillotine, and she won't even have time to enjoy anything before her soul is scattered."

Lian Buman was furious: "You guys are too vicious!"

"How can you call us wicked? Didn't we keep our promise? It's unfair that we do all sorts of bad things and expect to get away with it."

Shen Baolin: "But A-Jian didn't do all sorts of bad things!"

"Then what does she have to worry about? Wouldn't it be better to complete the mission and be extradited to the divine kingdom?" She couldn't calm down when she talked about this fake Lu Ting. She smiled and said, "At least she can get rid of you hypocritical and selfish people. She won't have to be a blood bag all the time, supporting a bunch of useless people like you."

Shen Baolin's face paled: "You..."

But she was indeed hypocritical and selfish, constantly taking from Lu Sijian since childhood, and never truly giving anything back.

Success is due to one's own abilities, while failure is blamed on Lu Sijian for not genuinely helping her.

Cowardly, incompetent, lazy, and with a strong sense of self-esteem—what's the difference between them and an ingrate?

Lu Lingchen pursed his lips and didn't speak, but his heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle, and the pain spread.

He thought he didn't care, that no one in this world was worth his concern, but in the end, he couldn't escape the condemnation of his conscience.

Lu Lingjun's expression was indifferent, but a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

How can we make up for those hurts and betrayals?

"But judging from your actions, you deliberately lead the mission takers to commit numerous crimes, don't you?" he asked coldly.

The fake Lu Ting refused to admit: "The priest will not interfere with the free will of the mission taker."

Sheng Yunchao raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, "Leaving those aside for now, greed is probably a sin in your divine kingdom, isn't it?"

Lu Lingjun's eyes shone brightly. Yes, the Divine Kingdom's moral requirements for those with great fortune were almost harsh.

Perhaps only the clay bodhisattvas in temples can satisfy their desire for nothing.

Even if Lu Sijian does nothing, she will be labeled as abandoning her family for money, and what awaits her is definitely not a life of luxury and wealth.

This was an unfair deal from the start, full of fraud and malice.

"What a clever scheme. On one hand, they need A-Jian's luck, and on the other hand, they want her to suffer a terrible death." Sheng Yunchao chuckled softly, a dark cloud hanging over his eyes.

Lu Lingjun felt a metallic taste in his throat. He clenched his fist and pressed it to his lips, forcefully suppressing the urge to cough.

Lu Sijian looked at him thoughtfully, then suddenly walked over and pulled his hand away.

There were specks of blood on the tiger's mouth.

Lu Sijian's expression changed slightly, "Why are you vomiting blood?"

Lu Lingchen was also shocked. "Big brother, how could this happen? Wasn't that medicine supposed to be effective...?"

His voice stopped abruptly, and he immediately realized what was happening, his eyes widening.

That bottle of medicine was brought by Mu Liangyue, who in turn obtained it from a master from back then...

Lu Lingjun grasped his wrist and shook his head almost imperceptibly, signaling him not to speak.

Then he calmly took out a handkerchief to wipe away the bloodstains, saying, "I'm fine."

He now understands that this was an elaborate scam targeting him, and Mu Liangyue was merely the weapon.

He didn't want to say it, not because of Mu Liangyue, but because of Lu Sijian.

She deliberately mentioned the bottle of medicine many times, probably trying to reveal information to herself so that she could find a way to save herself, but she was clearly misled as well.

She originally planned to get the bottle of medicine first, like with the previous bottle, to check for any potential harm before giving it to herself.

Unfortunately, he didn't trust her. When Mu Liangyue brought him that bottle of medicine, he wondered if he had told her.

It was his foolish and blind trust in Mu Liangyue that led him to pay the most painful price.

Everything is their own fault; they deserve no sympathy.

Lu Sijian stared at the two brothers for a few seconds, her brows gradually furrowing.

Without hesitation, she turned around and slapped the fake Lu Ting across the face. "The antidote!"

Fake Lu Ting: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"I don't know how you poisoned him, but since you're the expert from the original story, there must be something wrong with that potion! Did Mu Liangyue give you the potion?"

She turned to look at Lu Lingjun, but when he didn't answer, she looked at Mu Liangyue.

Mu Liangyue paused for a moment: "I gave that bottle of miraculous medicine to Brother Lingjun... Young Master, and asked him to pass it on to you."

Even if she were incredibly stupid, she would realize that something was wrong, and in an instant, her heart sank into an abyss.

"I'm sorry, young master, it's all my fault," Mu Liangyue said, choking back tears.

If she had caused Lu Lingjun's death, she would never be able to live with herself.

Lu Lingjun said coldly, "Don't make up any connections. I started vomiting blood before I even took that medicine. I found out that my driver put a poisonous car air freshener in the car."

He tried his best to downplay the harm that bottle of medicine would cause him, but the fake Lu Ting wouldn't let him have his way.

"Since you've traced it back to the driver, you know it was just a false hemoptysis. Otherwise, why would the driver have gone to the hospital for a checkup, taken some medicine, and been fine? That was just a trigger; the real remedy was that bottle of pills!"

Sheng Yunchao glanced at Lu Sijian. Although she hid it well, he knew that she had fallen into self-reproach again.

He pulled out a dagger and pressed it against the fake Lu Ting's throat. "The antidote!"

The fake Lu Ting couldn't help but burst into laughter, "There's no antidote! He's different from Lu Lingchen. He was poisoned by a toxin I brought from another small world. It was just a tiny amount, and I used it all on him. Even if you kill me, you won't get the antidote!"

Sheng Yunchao looked at him coldly, "Oh, since you're useless, then go die."

After calmly saying those words, he plunged a knife into the other man's heart.

The fake Lu Ting's heart pounded, and it wasn't until the knife tip pierced his skin that he realized this person was serious.

He gripped the dagger tightly, preventing the blade from piercing him. "The police are coming soon. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to explain yourself?"

The knife pierced even deeper, and he couldn't help but shout, "I can get the antidote! That small world is still under the control of the divine kingdom; I can have someone get the antidote and send it over!"
