Chapter 20. This World is Too Chaotic

Chapter 20. This World is Too Chaotic

“Master, is it my senior brother who saved me…?”

Su Kexin’s delicate little hands fiddled with the white blanket.

“Shouldn’t it be my senior brother who brought people to rescue me?”

“Not quite; he went to rescue you all by himself.”

“Alone? No way! There were so many Demon Sect disciples back then.”

“True, there were many, but we saw it with our own eyes—he faced numerous Demon Sect disciples alone, and even that vile Demon Sect leader Du Xu admitted defeat to him.”

“This…”

Su Kexin listened in disbelief. She knew just how sinister and vicious the Demon Sect disciples were; she had nearly been killed. How could her senior brother Lin Nuo, being only at the second stage of the Spirit Realm, possibly take them on alone…?

But Zhao Yuedong said she witnessed it herself, plus there was Du Xu’s admission—this couldn’t be false.

Amid her thoughts swirled a vague memory—there seemed to be someone like her senior brother fighting the Demon Sect disciples.

Zhao Yuedong asked, “Kexin, did you know a Heavenly Grade Li Long appeared in Wind Sea Forest?”

Su Kexin nodded. “Yes, we even encountered it! It was quite fierce; even the senior sister couldn’t confront it head-on.”

Zhao Yuedong: “Do you know who killed the Heavenly Grade Li Long?”

“Who killed it? Was it Elder Yuan?”

“No, it was Senior Brother Lin Nuo! I saw him do it with my own eyes.”

“You mean my senior brother killed a Heavenly Grade Li Long?!” Su Kexin was stunned, unable to believe it once again.

“Yes, it was him!” Zhao Yuedong chuckled proudly. “We were in a dire situation when senior brother Lin Nuo unleashed five bolts of thunder and killed the Li Long, saving us. However, he left in a hurry, likely knowing you were in danger and rushing to save you.”

“Senior brother he…”

Su Kexin was momentarily speechless, as if waking up to a world turned upside down; the low-ranked senior brother whom others looked down on had become a great hero defeating the Demon Sect.

In contrast, she felt like nothing more than a burden he saved. How embarrassing that despite calling him senior brother, she had never truly noticed his shining qualities, let alone learned from him.

Senior brother is really impressive; everyone disregarded him, yet he stood up in a crisis.

She owed him a huge favor, a debt of gratitude for saving her life.

Knock knock.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door, and Zhao Yuedong went to open it.

It was Elder Yuan and Zhou Jianhu.

“Kexin is awake; that’s a relief.”

Seeing Su Kexin awake, Elder Yuan felt a little more at ease.

“Ah, this time it’s my fault. I didn’t notice the problem with the mysterious plate in time, leading you all into danger; it’s my negligence.”

“Elder Yuan, this isn’t your fault; please don’t blame yourself.” Su Kexin offered a slight smile, “As long as everyone is safe, that’s what matters.”

Elder Yuan sighed deeply. “Child, you’re too optimistic. Thanks to Lin Nuo, otherwise, you both would have already walked the road to the underworld.”

“Elder Yuan, what exactly happened with senior brother?” Su Kexin’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

“I’m unclear on the specifics about this child, but I can confirm he killed many of the Demon Sect disciples, including that ruthless Du Xu. In fact, many people saw it, not just me. But it seems he’s unwilling to share everything with us, so the details remain a mystery.”

Elder Yuan sighed as he spoke.

“Alas, it’s truly embarrassing; I was supposed to lead but had to rely entirely on Lin Nuo to turn the tide. I have no face left to go back and apologize to the sect leader.”

The room fell silent, everyone lost in thought.

A seemingly insignificant second-stage Spirit Realm cultivator managed to resolve the crisis single-handedly.

Low-key before the event, humble afterward, unconcerned with public perception—this is what a true expert looks like.

“Where’s senior brother?”

Su Kexin quietly broke the silence. She owed Lin Nuo a big favor and wanted to express her gratitude to him face-to-face, but she didn’t see this great contributor anywhere.

“He went out,” Elder Yuan replied.

…

By a fish pond, the sky clear and blue.

Lin Nuo sat on a little stool, fishing, with the bucket full of lively, big fish.

“Why did it turn out like this…”

Lin Nuo pondered while fishing. It took some time, but he finally sorted out what had happened.

He meant to go kill Su Kexin, but a Heavenly Grade Li Long blocked his path, and he used Heavenly Punishment to directly obliterate it, saving a massive group of people, gaining +1 achievement.

Su Kexin unleashed a havoc on the Demon Sect disciples, but she had no memory of it. Coincidentally, Zhong Ping disguised himself as Lin Nuo and fought with Du Xu, leading to a dog-eat-dog scenario, all while Elder Yuan and the others happened to see bits of it. In the end, both sides suffered, and they arrived just in time, thinking it had been Lin Nuo’s doing.

On one side was Su Kexin wiping out the Demon Sect disciples, and on the other were the Demon Sect goons in-fighting and injuring themselves. What did he do? Nothing at all, but everyone thought he was the one who did it.

And the worst part? Before Du Xu died, he pointed an iron-clad finger at Lin Nuo, declaring he only lost to him?!

There was no turning back; he was thrust into the role of a hero protagonist.

So what about the original goal? Wasn’t it to kill the protagonist? How did this turn into saving the world? Isn’t that the protagonist’s job?

Totally off-topic; the villain goes off to save the world, zero points.

And am I really going to receive the reverence of these cultivators as a villain?

But that Meat Floss Cake is genuinely delicious.

Lin Nuo covered his face and frowned.

This world is too crazy; even villains become heroes…
