Chapter 759: Chapter 761: Surrounded by admirers, yet heart remains calm

Qin Muye looked at Fan Hua, who seemed like an old monk from a distance, with a puzzled expression on his face. Why was this guy here?

His original self had thrown him out to cause trouble in the Spirit Realm without paying much attention thereafter, considering him just a dispensable pawn.

But now, it seemed like the main character aura had stopped working.

Otherwise, how could he look like this? He should have been swarmed by admirers, yet now he seemed utterly indifferent.

’Could he be a dark horse, steadfast on the surface but playful in secret?’ Qin Muye couldn’t help but be curious. He didn’t believe that his own main character aura had stopped working; if it had, he wouldn’t have encountered this fellow.

It was clear that the fates of both had barely collided.

Although Qin Muye thought this, he was actually observing seriously. The main character aura’s golden light, the big gift package, wasn’t unbreakable. It was just a matter of having enough resolve, and then nothing was a problem.

The main character aura only offers you opportunities, if you don’t seize them, they won’t always be there.

Just like when Pan Jinlian struck Ximen Qing with a bamboo pole, if Ximen Qing had remained unmoved, nothing would have followed.

’Shouldn’t he want her, a fair-skinned, beautiful, tall, rich widow?’ Qin Muye wondered what had happened to Fan Hua over this period.

Before this, Qin Muye also had an understanding of Fan Hua’s personality. His arrogance, thinking himself above everyone else, had been fully stimulated by the Chaos Divine Demon Refining Spirit Technique he had been tricked into, making him somewhat conceited.

And now, Fan Hua gave Qin Muye the impression of someone who had been beaten severely, fallen from the clouds, and had suddenly seen the error of his ways.

The main character aura could not bring about these changes in mentality; it was more likely it had inflated them even more.

’Besides, he didn’t switch to the Spirit Refining Sect, still favoring the Spirit-controlling Sect. Luckily I showed up, otherwise this opportunity would really be wasted.’

As for what had happened to Fan Hua, Qin Muye didn’t know, and his original self likely didn’t care either. He hadn’t expected such a huge change in Fan Hua.

Unless his original self intended to intervene, it was unlikely that Fan Hua’s development would follow his plans, with a slim chance otherwise.

The words "unpredictable human hearts" fully expressed the changes in Fan Hua.

"Daoist, is there something you need?" Fan Hua, noticing Qin Muye’s gaze, finally spoke up.

"Nothing specific, just noticed Daoist’s karma with romantic entanglements, and looking at your attire, just curious is all," Qin Muye casually said.

At these words, Fan Hua paused then asked, "Do you follow the Heavenly Mechanism Path or the Karma Dao?"

"A bit of understanding, just a bit," Qin Muye didn’t directly answer but politely dodged the question.

"But Daoist, you might have misread, this on me is not romantic karma, but a debt of wrongdoing. Do you know of any way to break this?" Fan Hua, too, was climbing along the pole, clearly sensing something unusual about himself as it wasn’t the first time a rich wife had taken an interest in him.

If that rich wife were single, that would still be okay, but the problem is his rich wife was married, so in actuality, it should be called adultery.

Yet, such words were indeed not good to say outright; they really didn’t sound good.

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Muye feigned confusion in his expression.

"Hard to say, hard to say, just asking if Daoist might possibly know?" Fan Hua wasn’t naive either, not just answering whatever a stranger asked.

"Might...perhaps," Qin Muye hesitated slightly, then answered somewhat uncertainly.

The main character aura from his original self could break it, but he couldn’t, it was like an enhanced version. Besides, he didn’t have the capability, being just a Spirit Master incarnation. If the Book of the Sage incarnation came and used the Prayer Technique, maybe there’d be a possibility to resolve it, but he couldn’t.

There are specializations in every craft; it’s not his line of work.

"Have you perceived something, Daoist?" Fan Hua cleverly picked up on Qin Muye’s hesitance, sensing the other might know something.

"That’s called bad romantic karma, you know. There’s a way to resolve it, but it’s quite difficult," Qin Muye said with a hint of reluctance. His own main character aura mainly invoked a sense of immorality, but now it seemed, this didn’t quite fit Fan Hua.

In fact, the main character aura had already broken; as long as he remained true to his heart, there wasn’t much of a problem.

Unless he really couldn’t handle it anymore.

"I’d appreciate any guidance, Daoist. If you could help break it, there would be a generous reward." Fan Hua had actually visited many Spirit Masters from the Heavenly Mechanism Path and Karma Dao, but none of them could see any issue with him. Qin Muye was the first one he had encountered.

"This... I must apologize as I am incapable of helping. After all, my skills are not proficient. I can only diagnose the issue but can’t resolve it. The difficulty of these two tasks is incomparable," Qin Muye honestly said.

He suspected that Fan Hua had completely escaped the cage and as long as he did not die, he would undoubtedly become another Spirit Emperor.

That great enlightenment combined with his own situation, personal effort, and fortune was definitely extraordinary.

Moreover, Qin Muye could faintly sense a Spiritual Beast lurking within Fan Hua’s soul. It must be the Spiritual Beast he contracted, but Qin Muye could not quite distinguish what kind of Spiritual Beast it was at the moment.

It was likely related to the Divine Soul Path, the kind that could help him suppress various delusions. Otherwise, how could he maintain his true self in the face of so many temptations?

Hearing Qin Muye’s words, Fan Hua’s expression gradually became solemn, as if returning to a state of unflustered calm.

The two quickly shifted the topic in another direction, and as they were talking, Fan Hua’s expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and looked over, several Spirit Masters were approaching them from a distance.

The leader was a young man whose face contorted the moment he saw Fan Hua.

"There, catch him!!!" the young man bellowed furiously.

Fan Hua instinctively stood up and decisively turned to run away.

"!!!" Qin Muye’s face was full of shock; the aggrieved party had come to them.

"You stop right there, today I must break your third leg," the young man behind him yelled so loudly, it drew many people’s attention.

Qin Muye, seeing the mess around him, was indeed wide-eyed.

Indeed, reality is not a dirty comic or a TXT novel; absurd scenes like those wouldn’t appear. This world is extraordinary, and if such things did happen, just beheading the adulterer would suffice.

Only, Qin Muye suddenly found that the young man and his companions were also staring at him, looking at him with a significant expression.

"What... Why are you looking at me? I’m not familiar with the guy just now," Qin Muye felt like he might also have been dragged into this.

"Heh, that’s something you need to explain to my son-in-law," the other party spoke in a calm tone, seemingly there for the spectacle.

"Okay, wait a moment. I’ll consult the oracle to see if it’s good or bad luck, then I’ll go with you, how about that?" Qin Muye thought, this mutton wasn’t eaten by him, so why should he take the blame?

The others were also somewhat surprised, "Sure, please do."

For Spirit Masters possessing Spiritual Beasts related to the Heavenly Mechanism Path and Karma Dao, they generally did not want to offend lightly. Such people might not display strong fighting power, but they had many cards to play, and their deep schemes could kill in countless tricky ways, making them hard to guard against.

Qin Muye took out the Mirror Demon and then slowly said, "Heaven and Earth are limitless; I borrow the laws of the universe, quick!"

"???"

The others looked confused. It sounded quite impressive, mystically muttered, but something seemed off.

Before they could react, they saw the Mirror Demon in Qin Muye’s hand suddenly emit a Golden Light. Then, using the repelling force of the Mirror Golden Light, Qin Muye turned and fled.

"Quick, chase him, don’t let this kid get away." The group quickly realized, this wasn’t divination at all; they were being tricked.

The Mirror Golden Light was extremely fast, and with Qin Muye’s proficient skills, just a few leaps and he had vanished from sight.

This made the man who had just gotten up and yelled stare blankly.

"Is this... a proper use for the Mirror Demon?" one of them was also somewhat shaken, as they knew the Spiritual Beast Technique of the Mirror Golden Light was good, but they had never seen such an odd use for it.

"What are you thinking, hurry up and chase," someone quickly came to their senses. Even if the person had run away, they still had to make a show of it; otherwise, how would they explain afterwards?

So, naturally, the group chased in the direction Qin Muye had vanished to. Whether they could find him or not was another matter, but it was still better than doing nothing.
