Chapter 769: Overdrawing Destiny, Taking People Away

In the inn, a woman with her hair in a bun winked at Fan Hua, making Wang Kui's eyes twitch.

Wang Kui was the person arranged by the Mu family's lady to protect Fan Hua.

"Ahem, be more reserved. Don't attract bees and butterflies on the road. Be careful, or you might end up in a bloodbath," Qin Muye reminded Fan Hua.

Fan Hua looked helpless. What did this have to do with him? He was just sitting here eating.

"Maybe we should scratch his face?" Wang Kui thought, considering a one-time solution. After all, it could be healed later with a spirit beast skilled in healing techniques.

"That won't work. I think we need to solve the root of the problem," Qin Muye said, suggesting a more thorough solution. With the Mu family's strength, finding a spirit beast capable of limb regeneration shouldn't be too difficult.

Fan Hua felt a chill from head to toe. One suggestion was worse than the other.

"Let's just walk faster. I feel like something's going to happen if we keep this up," Fan Hua sighed. Over these days, he had encountered many strange events, making him feel like his bad luck with women was getting worse.

"Sure, you're right. But it's not a big deal. We don't have much distance left, so just bear with it," Qin Muye said, somewhat amused. He agreed with Fan Hua but took no action.

Wang Kui had no objections. While the events on the road were peculiar, they weren't particularly dangerous. He found it very strange.

After all, under normal circumstances, other members of the Mu family would have already intercepted them.

So the truth was that Qin Muye had managed to resolve the danger along the way. As this couldn't just disappear, it resulted in minor inconveniences for Fan Hua.

Qin Muye looked strange on the road, but he was indeed methodical. They even picked up quite a few opportunities along the way, which made Wang Kui feel numb.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Dao of Cause and Effect and the Dao of Destiny. Opportunities were everywhere they went.

If it weren't for his status, he would have considered attaching himself to Qin Muye.

Initially, he had doubts about Qin Muye's identity, but now he no longer suspected it. The benefits Qin Muye spoke of likely extended beyond the Mu family. Given his abilities, he must have hidden his true strength, indicating a larger plan.

Otherwise, with his identity and strength, why would he come just for a few trifles?

Wang Kui had been speculating whether Qin Muye was a Great Venerable Golden Immortal or a Golden Immortal. As a Mystic Immortal, he could only guess.

He definitely wouldn't dare to confirm, for fear of being casually calculated and ending up dead, likely in a confusing manner.

'Along the way, we picked up quite a few opportunities. If we can really settle things with the Mu family, I will have enough resources for my Mirror Immortal's evolution.' Qin Muye was also a bit puzzled. He hadn't expected that with so many buffs, his luck would be so good, allowing him to find so many things.

Even if they weren't directly handed to him, there was still a certain amount of serendipity involved.

However, Qin Muye had a vague feeling of unease. When things are full, they tend to overflow. His luck was too good; something might happen. No, it might happen to Fan Hua.

He had the Endless Abyss to suppress his luck, so he was fine. Fan Hua, on the other hand, was supposed to gain these opportunities through his parasitic lifestyle, but now he was piggybacking on Qin Muye, altering the way his protagonist's aura functioned.

This was not a minor issue, but it wasn't a major one either.

What was taken must be returned. From where? Definitely from his parasitic lifestyle, not from Qin Muye. Their protagonist auras were not part of the same system.

So Qin Muye looked at Fan Hua with a pitying gaze, understanding why they had encountered so many strange events.

Fan Hua felt the hairs on his arms stand up. He suspected Qin Muye was plotting against him.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm getting goosebumps," Fan Hua said honestly.

"Recently, we've picked up quite a few opportunities. Don't you feel happy?" Qin Muye asked with a smile.

"..." ×2

Not to mention Fan Hua, even Wang Kui felt this way.

But seeing Qin Muye's tone, it felt a bit off.

"Following me around, your luck has indeed improved a lot. However, there’s a term called 'overdrawing.' Do you understand that?" Qin Muye pointed out.

"Are you saying my future luck will be really bad?" Fan Hua’s face changed, feeling quite unlucky.

"That’s not exactly it. It’s just that the feedback is going to the wrong place," Qin Muye didn’t elaborate further. But Fan Hua immediately understood. No wonder he had encountered so many bizarre events recently, with people flirting with him wherever he went.

So that’s what it was. His face fell in despair.

"Can that be fixed? I can avoid picking up any more opportunities next time," Fan Hua felt that if this continued, he might be forced into something.

Now that things were out in the open, using force wasn’t out of the question.

"I know a bit of medical arts," Qin Muye said very tactfully, indicating that he could help, but only in certain ways.

Wang Kui, on the other hand, looked puzzled. What were these two talking about? It seemed like some significant matter.

"I think we should speed up. Otherwise, something will happen, don’t you think?" Fan Hua felt he needed to save himself and suggested they move faster.

Wang Kui had no objections, but he looked at Qin Muye, who had the final say. After all, Qin Muye’s plans might be affected if they moved too quickly.

"Alright, but I think we should—." Qin Muye didn’t finish his sentence as Wang Kui’s expression suddenly changed.

"Who’s there?!" Wang Kui’s hands turned into soil-covered rocks, and he immediately shielded Fan Hua.

A black shadow flashed by, lightly stepping on the soil and rocks before leaping over and grabbing Fan Hua, carrying him away.

"Chase them!" Qin Muye shouted. They couldn’t let Fan Hua be taken; if he was captured, his protagonist aura would activate.

Without waiting for Qin Muye’s reminder, Wang Kui followed without hesitation.

"The Mu family seems to have changed their strategy, from killing to capturing. This suggests that the Lady Mu has gained an advantage within the family," Qin Muye muttered to himself as he watched the two disappear.

With the advantage, they needed a live capture to better control the situation.

‘But the person who grabbed him was a woman, wasn’t it?’

Qin Muye suspected that it might have triggered Fan Hua’s weaker version of the protagonist aura. There shouldn’t be any life-threatening danger, as the original version, though flawed, was quite effective.

Therefore, it was clear that Wang Kui wouldn’t be able to catch up. While Wang Kui followed the spirit refinement path, most of his refined spirit beasts were of the Earth Dao, whereas the person who took Fan Hua was of the Wind Dao. The speed difference was too great.

Thus, he would undoubtedly return empty-handed.

"Phew~ I have a bad feeling about the Mu family," Qin Muye couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

"Never mind, let’s wait and see. He should be back in a couple of days."

Qin Muye got up and went to the inn to ask the innkeeper for a good room. They would stay there for the night, as Wang Kui probably wouldn’t return until the next day or two.

Wang Kui wouldn’t be able to catch up, but he wouldn’t be left behind quickly either. Their strength was roughly the same, both at the 7th rank, so even with a slight disadvantage, he could hold out for a while.

"Guest, what just happened?" the innkeeper asked hesitantly, as the sudden events had been quite alarming.

"Internal family disputes. You, an innkeeper, don’t need to know about the conflicts of noble families. Just prepare a good room for me. I’ll pay, don’t worry," Qin Muye strongly condemned the innkeeper’s curiosity.

The innkeeper’s face fell. He wasn’t interested in gossip; he just didn’t want to invite trouble. For people like him, even a minor noble family was too much to offend.

But given Qin Muye’s strength and background, he had no choice but to obediently arrange a good room for him.

He couldn’t afford to drive away someone who could walk with a noble family, no matter how simple they might seem. He had to tough it out and make the arrangements.

"Please follow me, I’ll show you to your room," the innkeeper said, leading Qin Muye to his room and planning to deal with the situation later.
