Chapter 2: Beating Up the Child of Destiny, Starting a Brand-New Life

The next day.

The two of them sat at opposite sides of the table in silence.

After a long while, Qin Jiujiu broke the silence first and said, “Pretend nothing happened yesterday, but the promise I made to you still stands.”

“Mm, I understand.” Ning Bei rubbed his nose and added, “I’ll be leaving now.”

He stood up without any intention of lingering.

After all, she was the reincarnation of a Great Emperor and he had taken her chastity, cut off the Child of Destiny, and received Qin Jiujiu’s promise.

That was enough.

Qin Jiujiu rose as well and limped to the door to see him off.

“No need to see me out, go back and rest.” Ning Bei said as he turned, then left decisively.

Silence hung in the air.

Watching his brisk figure, Qin Jiujiu rested her jade hand on the doorframe and murmured in a clear voice, “His physique is even more impressive than his talent.”

Right after that.

She then locked herself in her room, covered her burning cheeks, and repented—

“Ah, what have I done?”

“How could this happen… Qin Jiujiu, oh Qin Jiujiu… how could you let such an accident occur?”

Qin Jiujiu was filled with regret.

She did not blame Ning Bei in her heart; she blamed herself for being too hasty.

She clearly had practiced the technique before, yet she failed to resist breaking a major taboo; if Ning Bei had not appeared in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Moreover, the academy would soon select a chief disciple; if her meridians were damaged now, she would surely miss that opportunity.

She would also lose a great deal of cultivation resources.

Therefore, Qin Jiujiu’s gratitude toward Ning Bei was self-evident.

Elsewhere.

After Ning Bei returned to his room, he began to receive his reward—

[Congratulations, Host. You have intercepted your nemesis’s opportunity and created a favorable future, thus earning a phased counterattack reward.]

[Now tempering and remolding the host’s Nirvana meridians. Please prepare…]

“Is this going to enhance my talent?”

Knowing that meridians were the foundation of any cultivator, Ning Bei understood the benefits of tempering them and could not help feeling expectant.

Boom!

In the next instant, Ning Bei felt a vast power surge through his body; every limb and bone was scoured by an unknown force, leaving him tingling all over.

It felt indescribably good.

Gradually, a layer of filth oozed from his skin, and the force rampaging inside him seemed to flow even more smoothly.

About half an hour later.

Ning Bei let out a turbid breath; his body was covered in grime, so he hurried off to bathe.

After washing, he looked at his unparalleled handsome face in the mirror, touched his cheek, and felt a smoothness he had never known before.

His aura now seemed to have shed the mortal realm and become almost immortal.

From afar, he looked like an ethereal banished immortal, exuding an indescribable affinity.

Besides that, Ning Bei’s perception of spiritual energy had soared; with every breath he felt his whole body benefit.

Had he obtained such a chance in the past, he would now be in no way inferior to Qin Jiujiu.

Even now, sensing his newly advanced strength at the early Foundation Establishment realm, he guessed Qin Jiujiu was at most mid-Foundation Establishment realm.

As for Qin Yu, he was merely an ant who had just stepped into the Qi-Refining realm.

Ding!

[Revenge mission triggered. At this moment Qin Yu is arguing with the gatekeeping disciples outside the core residential area.]

[Host, please hurry over. Do not let him show off; break his destiny.]

“He came again?”

Ning Bei’s expression shifted, and a cold smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

An awkward silence followed.

At the main gate.

Flushed with anger, Qin Yu said, “Go tell Jiujiu that Qin Yu is here to see her. Let’s see whether she comes out or not.”

Outrageous—he had not been able to see his sister yesterday.

And these people still dared block him today?

“You’re just a part-time servant, yet you dare call Senior Sister Qin by name.”

“A useless fool who doesn’t know his place—yesterday you tricked us into a wasted trip, and today you still dare come?”

“Get lost at once, don’t force us to act.”

Perhaps because of Qin Yu’s supposed halo, the guards ridiculed him without restraint.

Facing their ugly faces, Qin Yu not only failed to get angry but even laughed, “A bunch of petty clowns telling me to know my place… do you even know what my relationship with Qin Jiujiu is?”

Before anyone could answer, Ning Bei arrived in time and asked in feigned confusion, “What’s the commotion about?”

“Greetings, Senior Brother Ning.”

Seeing Ning Bei, the disciples reported the situation respectfully.

The stark contrast in treatment was glaring.

It filled Qin Yu with jealousy; hatred flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ning Bei and he thought, “A useless man who can’t even protect his own fiancée—hmph, sooner or later I’ll trample you underfoot.”

“So you’re Qin Yu? As a part-time disciple, the core area isn’t somewhere you can enter; now leave.” Ning Bei pretended not to notice Qin Yu’s hostility.

He planned to seize the moral high ground first.

That would make it easier to act later.

Qin Yu remained unmoved and said righteously, “Ning Bei, go bring Qin Jiujiu out for me—everything will be clear once she comes.”

“Why are you so unreasonable? Senior Brother Ning already told you to leave.”

“Do we have to lay hands on you before you’ll give up?”

Several disciples rolled up their sleeves, itching to act.

Seeing the growing crowd, Ning Bei’s eyes turned and he said at the right moment, “Hey, hey, we’re all disciples of the Heavenly Martial Academy; let’s not harm our fellow disciples.”

Then he looked at Qin Yu, sounding earnestly concerned: “Qin Yu, don’t be so immature. Have you finished your chores? Hurry and go.”

“Qin Jiujiu is my sister!”

Already jealous, Qin Yu exploded at Ning Bei’s condescending tone, “I can’t even see my own sister? Which academy rule says I can’t? Who are you to lecture me…”

Slap!

Before Qin Yu could finish, Ning Bei seized the moment, struck directly, and shouted, “Insolence! It’s bad enough you broke into the core residence area, and now you slander our academy’s prodigy by claiming she’s your sister? Who gave you the nerve?”

“You damned… you dare hit me!”

Qin Yu was stunned by the blow.

He hadn’t expected Ning Bei to dare lay a hand on him.

Today he would definitely make Ning Bei regret it.

But before Qin Yu could speak, Ning Bei ordered, “Beat him—he even dared to curse.”

“Go!”

The disciples who had been waiting for the signal rushed forward at once.

“Aaah—”

Qin Yu tried to say something, but all that came out was a scream.

He had only just entered the Qi-Refining realm; how could he withstand the fists and kicks of outer-sect disciples?

These people were not holding back at all.

“Stop… stop hitting… Qin Jiujiu really is my sister… I’m not lying!” Qin Yu wailed and tried to prove himself.

“Beat him within an inch of his life.”

Holding back a smile, Ning Bei declared righteously, “Keep hitting until he admits he has nothing to do with Qin Jiujiu!”

“Yes!”

The disciples cherished this rare chance to vent and showed no mercy.

A mere part-timer dared disrespect them?

Who else should they beat if not him?

The onlooking disciples not only failed to intervene but clapped and cheered.

“Servants who don’t know their place deserve a good lesson.”

“If you must cling to someone, why aim for the academy’s top genius? Do you think you’re worthy?”

“Trash like him sticks like a leech—thank goodness Senior Brother Ning is upholding justice today.”

Ning Bei’s good reputation, Qin Jiujiu’s goddess persona, and Qin Yu’s worthless label mixed together like a chemical reaction.

All of it landed squarely on Qin Yu.

“Stop, please stop… she isn’t my sister… I was wrong, okay?”

In the end, Qin Yu couldn’t hold back and burst into tears.

Time passed in silence.

Inside the room, [Congratulations, Host. You have completed the revenge mission and altered your life’s path.]

[Reward: System Shop unlocked and 10,000 Revenge Points obtained. They can be used to buy items in the shop.]

“System shop?”

Joy lit up Ning Bei’s face as he opened it to look.
