Chapter 157 is not for Lin Fengzhi
Xia Mo frowned, realizing that instead of waking the person up, he had only made them more self-destructive!
She was furious, but her situation was urgent, so she had no choice but to back down.
It's so annoying! I want to hit someone.
"Don't you want to know who the enemy is who fabricated witnesses and tricked the Lin family into believing you weren't the direct descendant of the Lin family?" Xia Mo sneered.
She glanced sideways at Huangfu Qian, who was sitting to the side watching the show, her heart churning with agitation that surged up like waves.
With his divine sense, he clearly conveyed Lin Fengzhi's current situation to Xia Mo.
The black aura around Lin Fengzhi subsided, and the rate at which his fortune was draining away decreased. The fortune floating beside Lin Fengzhi seemed to be returning to him, but it was blocked by a wisp of black aura and could only stay beside him, unable to return to him.
"Who?"
Lin Fengzhi wasn't looking at Xia Mo; instead, his eyes were red and filled with tears as he gazed at Huangfu Qian.
After Huangfu Qian and Xia Mo locked eyes, Huangfu Qian slowly opened and closed his sharp lips, uttering a name: "Lin Chengzhi".
Lin Feng felt a tightness in his chest, unable to believe it.
When Lin Fengzhi heard Lin Chengzhi's name, the dark aura around him intensified.
Xia Mo: "..." Suppressing her irritation, she raised her hand.
"Snapped--"
"Useless," Xia Mo slapped Lin Fengzhi across the face, venting her anger and feeling a little better.
“From a young age, he followed me around, calling me ‘brother, brother.’ When my parents didn’t like me, he was the only one who would stay by my side. At that time, my grandfather hadn’t even noticed me yet. I only had him…”
Within Lin Fengzhi's despairing black aura, a deathly aura emanated. Had Lin Fengzhi actually conceived a death wish because of Lin Chengzhi's betrayal?!
Xia Mo, who had sensed the change in Lin Fengzhi's aura with her divine sense, stared at Lin Fengzhi in disbelief.
"Betrayed, shouldn't I retaliate?! Are you a piece of trash?! Or... shall I call you 'trash' from now on?" Xia Mo calmed down as she cursed.
If everyone whose luck was stolen was as stubborn as Lin Fengzhi, she estimated that she would get angry every time she helped him get it back.
Why should she have to put up with this after helping out?!
She couldn't stand that.
At the end of summer, the air was returned directly to its original source.
Lin Fengzhi felt a surge of sadness after being called a good-for-nothing. His rabbit-like eyes reddened with grievance as he looked at Xia Mo, as if making a silent accusation. He was in pain, shouldn't Xia Mo comfort him? Why did she have to hurt him instead? Why was she kicking him when he was down?
"Tch," Xia Mo tossed her face, raised her chin, and refused to look at Lin Fengzhi.
Huangfu Qian received Xia Mo's look and asked, "Do you know Ma Yiyi, who married into the Wei family in the capital?"
“I know the Wei family in the capital. Ma Yiyi is the peasant girl who married the third young master of the Wei family, right?” Lin Fengzhi’s voice was hoarse as he racked his brains for a reply.
“Ma Yiyi is Xia’s childhood sweetheart, her sister from the past,” Huangfu Qian said, his tone softening as he said the last five words.
Lin Fengzhi didn't understand and stole a glance at Xia Mo.
"She pushed Miss Xia into the river and even arranged for filthy scoundrels on the riverbank, almost causing Miss Xia to fall into an abyss of no return," Huangfu Qian seemed to grind his teeth as he enunciated the word "abyss of no return."
Lin Fengzhi stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
“Although I don’t know why Ma Yiyi did that, it is a fact that she betrayed Xia Mo, who grew up with her and treated her like a sister,” Huangfu Qian could have said that Xia Mo was the one who saved his life, but he subconsciously didn’t do so.
Lin Fengzhi thought about his current situation, and realized that it was exactly the same as what Xia Mo had experienced.
No wonder Xia Mo was angry, wanted to slap him twice, and call him a piece of trash, haha...
Lin Fengzhi laughed silently and hoarsely, his heart pounding violently.
“Miss Xia can’t say anything about Ma Yiyi pushing her into the river, but Miss Xia did something that upset Ma Yiyi,” Huangfu Qian was also reluctant to talk about Xia Mo keeping Wei Zhishu hanging.
Lin Fengzhi was completely lost, unsure of what to do next. Upon hearing Huangfu Qian's words, he fell into deep thought.
Xia Mo used her divine sense to see that the loss of fortune from Lin Fengzhi had stopped, and that the black aura swirling around Lin Fengzhi was decreasing. The fortune that had been wandering around his body was slowly returning to Lin Fengzhi's body.
Lin Fengzhi's luck has returned to nine percent, teetering on the edge of life and death.
Once his luck drops to eight percent, Lin Fengzhi will have no chance of escaping danger and will only face certain death if he faces another life-or-death situation.
Similarly, if another bit of luck is harvested from this world, its natural order will be controlled by external forces. What will happen to the world then?
"I want to participate in the medicine competition three days from now," Lin Fengzhi said after thinking it through.
"No need, you don't need to participate. I'll do it. Anyway, you don't want to settle the score yourself. Let me do it. That way, you'll still be that pure white lotus, untainted by the mud," Xia Mo mocked.
Lin Fengzhi lowered his head in shame.
Lin Fengzhi understood Xia Mo's sarcasm. Feeling guilty, he didn't dare to look at her. His voice was hoarse as he whispered, "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. I... want to do it myself."
"Tch," Xia Mo stopped talking to Lin Fengzhi and looked at Huangfu Qian.
"Lin Chengzhi is even more shameless than you think," Huangfu Qian said, tapping lightly on the table beside him with his fingers. The rhythmic tapping sound carried a magical power that seemed to relax the mind and body.
Lin Feng looked at Huangfu Qian with a confused expression, and likewise, he didn't dare to meet Huangfu Qian's gaze.
At this moment, Lin Feng felt ashamed and embarrassed, feeling utterly ashamed and disgraced.
"The Lin family has been searching all over Anning Prefecture for patients suffering from serious or terminal illnesses. They will treat these patients unconditionally in this medicine competition," Huangfu Qian said expressionlessly.
A look of satisfaction appeared in Lin Fengzhi's eyes.
"In reality, Lin Chengzhi's real intention in spending this money was to steal their prescriptions and medical skills. Among the patients he sought, there would definitely be one who appeared to be seriously ill but had a mild illness. Who do you think prepared that patient who appeared to be seriously ill but had a mild illness?"
It was rare for Huangfu Qian to have to say so much to explain something, and he looked at Lin Fengzhi with displeasure in his eyes.
At this moment, Huangfu Qian, like Xia Mo, looked down on Lin Fengzhi. His help was not for Lin Fengzhi's sake, but to prevent the world from being destroyed by foreign invaders.
Lin Fengzhi felt a chill for no apparent reason and shivered violently.
Xia Mo met Huangfu Qian's gaze with a half-smile, her clear eyes silently saying: See? You get angry when you face Lin Fengzhi too.
A look of helplessness flashed across Huangfu Qianying's eyes, silently conveying his message.
None of us are doing this for Lin Fengzhi.
"cut--"
When Xia Mo received Huangfu Qian's gaze, she arrogantly turned her head away.
