Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1353 - 1353 1312 Feigned Death

1353: Chapter 1312: Feigned Death 1353: Chapter 1312: Feigned Death “Mr.

Lu Chuan, are you alright?”

“Not dead for now.

Here, take this elixir pill and feed it to your grandfather.

Once the old master wakes up, let me know.

I have a few things I’d like to discuss with him.”

“Understood, Mr.

Lu Chuan.

Thank you again for your help.

Jiaxin promises the Ye Family will repay you generously in the future.”

Lu Chuan waved his hand dismissively and said, “Let’s talk about repayment later.

Focus on handling your current troubles first.

Whether the Ye Family can survive this crisis is entirely up to you.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiaxin didn’t waste another word, took the elixir pill, and left Lu Chuan’s room.

Once Ye Jiaxin’s presence faded into the distance, Lu Chuan finally exhaled a long sigh and collapsed onto the bed, groaning in pain.

“Damn it… this hurts like hell!

That woman really didn’t hold back—cut half my neck open.

If I hadn’t used Mysterious Fire to repair my wounds, I’d be headless by now.”

“Who told you to insist on showing off?

Dealing with Gu Insects is no simple task.”

“But still, the outcome is favorable, isn’t it?

The old master managed to keep his life.

Although his cultivation will be somewhat impacted, and he’s lost the chance to ever break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, it’s better than rotting in a grave.”

“By the way, Tower Spirit, you mentioned earlier that the Ye Family might face a great calamity.

Was that disaster tied to the old master?”

Lu Chuan sat up, his thoughts drifting back to when he first arrived at the Ye Family and heard Tower Spirit’s ominous words.

There was trouble with the dragon vein beneath the Ye Family’s ancestral home—a calamity seemed inevitable.

Could this be what he had just resolved?

“If only it were so simple to neutralize.

Your presence altered certain things in the unseen fabric of destiny.

Otherwise, the patriarch of the Ye Family would’ve already succumbed to Gu Poison invading his heart meridian and died—that would’ve marked the true start of the calamity.”

“But since the old master survived, does that mean the disaster won’t occur?”

“Lu Chuan, destiny isn’t as simple as you think.

Problems can’t just be strangled in the cradle.

True, you saved the patriarch today, but what about tomorrow?

You’ll have to leave eventually, and the Ye Family’s calamity will truly begin when its patriarch passes away.

This might happen in a month, a year, or even longer—but it will happen.”

Lu Chuan’s face darkened slightly upon hearing this.

“So, no matter what, it’s inevitable?”

“Unless one can transcend destiny and escape its grasp.

Given the Ye Family’s current state, that’s obviously impossible.

In fact, throughout millions of years, only a handful have truly succeeded at doing so—and, coincidentally, you happen to know one.”

“I know one?

Who?”

“The Nine Spirits Primordial Saint.”

At these words, Lu Chuan sucked in a sharp breath.

“That guy?”

“Don’t underestimate him.

Though the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint is currently under my suppression, he’s among the rare few who have managed to break free from the influence of destiny.

If you want to help that girl, he might be able to assist.”

“If I seek his help, I’ll have to offer terms he’d accept.

What if he asks me to reconstruct his physical body and break free from your suppression?

You know, Tower Spirit, you’re irreplaceable to me; no one else comes close.”

“Tower Spirit?

Why aren’t you saying anything now?”

“Too lazy to respond.

Anyway, I’ve already given you the plan—it’s up to you whether to act on it.

But I’d advise you to hurry; I can sense the calamity looming over the Ye Family.”

With those words, Tower Spirit once again fell silent, refusing to respond no matter how Lu Chuan called out.

Left with no choice, Lu Chuan decided to visit Old Master Ye.

After taking the elixir pill, Old Master Ye’s condition visibly improved.

Lu Chuan carefully removed all traces of Gu Poison from his body.

Though still unconscious, there was no longer any threat to his life.

Watching her grandfather sleep peacefully, Ye Jiaxin bit her lip, her eyes reddened with emotion.

“Grandfather…”

“Not dead yet.

He’ll live for another few decades—or even a century if he cherishes his life.

His cultivation, though, is likely to never touch the Nascent Soul Realm in this lifetime.”

Lu Chuan released the old man’s arm and exhaled deeply.

His pulse was steady and vibrant—it wouldn’t be long before he woke.

“Mr.

Lu Chuan, I’ll quickly spread the news.

Grandfather is out of danger!

Recently, there have been plenty of rumors within the Ye Family.

I still haven’t figured out who started them, but now that grandfather is fine, I can finally shut them all up!”

“If I were you, I’d absolutely avoid doing that.”

Lu Chuan glanced at Ye Jiaxin and said gravely, “Suppressing rumors only drives them deeper underground.

The longer you delay catching those with ill intent, the deeper their roots grow.

Evidence suggests the other side has already prepared extensively.

This time, if I hadn’t been here, your grandfather would be dead.

Have you considered how to face those wolves and jackals?”

Ye Jiaxin paused, stunned, then gave a bitter smile and shook her head.

“I…

I’ve never thought about losing grandfather.

I think I might…

fall apart.”

“Well, it just so happens I’m giving you an opportunity.”

Saying this, Lu Chuan produced a Heavenly Breath Elixir and held it between his fingers.

“I have here an elixir pill.

After it’s ingested, the old master’s breath will cease for ten days—he’ll enter a state of apparent death.

No one, no matter who they are, will sense anything amiss.

My suggestion is, create the illusion that the old master has passed away.

Without him to stabilize the situation, I assume those restless folk will show their true colors.

And then—bam!

The old master is still alive.

Imagine the looks on their faces—it’ll be priceless!

You can clean up the Ye Family’s internal threats in one go and let the old master take some time to recuperate without worrying about further harm from traitors.

What do you think?

Isn’t my plan flawless?”

“This…

could it really work?”

To stage grandfather’s death and lure out the Ye Family’s traitors…

Without a doubt, Lu Chuan’s idea was brilliant.

But executing it was an entirely different matter.

Ye Jiaxin trusted Lu Chuan.

If her grandfather took the elixir pill, no flaws would be exposed.

But she wasn’t as confident in herself.

Ye Jiaxin didn’t think she’d be capable of carrying this out flawlessly.

If she made a mistake, wouldn’t Mr.

Lu Chuan’s painstaking efforts go to waste?

“Mr.

Lu Chuan, I’m worried…

that I might expose the plan.”

“This is one of your few chances, Ye Jiaxin.

Honestly, I should’ve boarded a plane back to Qingyang City days ago to attend to my own matters.

If you decide not to go through with this, that’s fine.

I’ll leave tomorrow.

But if these wolves continue lurking within the shadows only to bring the Ye Family to ruin, will you regret your indecision today?

Ye Jiaxin, life rarely forces us to make truly monumental choices.

Whatever decision you make, just ensure you never disappoint yourself.

I’ve said all I can.”
