Big Brother, Please Accept This Little Brother's Bow

"Congratulations, Host. You defeated the Son of Destiny, Hui Mei, and successfully made him cry. Reward: 5,000 Destiny Points."

"Congratulations, Host. You completed the second phase of the Villain No Longer Keeps a Low Profile mission. Reward: 10,000 Destiny Points. The innate spirit medicine, an Enlightenment Tree sapling, has been placed in the warehouse."

A gentle, pleasant voice rang by Chu Tian's ear.

Chu Tian's expression remained calm, but at the sight of Hui Mei crying so prettily, the corners of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. In the original plot, Ghostly Saint Venerable had been immensely popular. With his bewitching looks, extraordinary talent, bizarre movement technique, and formidable strength, he had become renowned throughout the Myriad Worlds. He could even trade blows evenly with Ye Fan. Yet his unruly temperament had angered Ye Fan into launching a sneak attack, sealing him away and sending him to be auctioned off in a brothel.

Who would have thought that he had been so fragile as a child, crying directly after getting beaten by him?

In the end, he was only a ten-year-old child who had never weathered any storms.

"Remember, this is Sacred Heaven Sect territory. It is not your turn to run wild here."

Chu Tian spoke indifferently. With that, he stepped down from the arena. The sect disciples packed beneath it wore reverent expressions and voluntarily made way for him, even though many of them were far more advanced than Chu Tian.

This was the treatment reserved for a top genius.

Chu Tian walked up to Ye Fan and frowned slightly. Although Ye Fan was unconscious, the chest that Hui Mei had caved in had already recovered completely, and his breathing was normal.

Chu Tian understood that this was the divinity accumulated within Ye Fan's body after consuming numerous Divine Medicines and precious treasures. Combined with the power of the Primordial Sacred Bone, it made him like an unkillable cockroach.

In the original plot, no matter how many times he was severely wounded, no matter how many crises he endured or how recklessly he courted death, he could always come back alive and kicking, rise again, and regain his footing. This was the reason.

"System, is there any way to extract the power of the Divine Medicines from his body?" Chu Tian asked inwardly.

He had originally planned to imprison Ye Fan in the Sin Domain prison, keep him under watch, and wait for an opportunity to strike. But Ye Tianxiong, who had been hiding in the shadows, had suddenly stopped even pretending this time. He had directly brought Ye Fan out, intending to clear him of his crimes.

Ye Tianxiong was, after all, the Sect Master. Now that he had stepped from behind the scenes into the open, he posed a tremendous threat. Chu Tian did not want to keep Ye Fan, this great menace, around for too long. A Son of Destiny carried too many possibilities and would only create more variables.

A fierce killing intent rose within him. He wanted to strike directly and crush Ye Fan's head.

But he could sense a faint, chilling gaze fixed on him from the high platform, watching his every move.

Ye Tianxiong had been keeping an eye on him all along.

With Ye Tianxiong's strength, the odds of him killing Ye Fan right under his nose were infinitely close to zero.

But even if he could not kill him, Chu Tian had no intention of letting Ye Fan, this Son of Destiny, wander about freely.

The Sin Domain prison might not be able to restrain him completely, but every move he made would be under Chu Tian's watchful eye.

This was also one of the reasons Chu Tian had confronted Ye Tianxiong head-on.

"Host may cultivate alchemy, practice the top-tier scripture, the Pill King Heart Sutra, and cultivate the Destiny Extraction Technique. Upon reaching the Body Integration Realm, you will be able to easily extract the Divine Medicine power within Ye Fan's body."

The gentle, pleasant voice quickly continued, "A reminder, Host: the power of the Divine Medicines is the foundation sustaining Ye Fan's life. Once he loses the Divine Medicine nourishment, the powerful toxins within his body have an extremely high chance of directly taking his life."

"This is not a bad path for erasing the Son of Destiny."

"Completely erasing the Son of Destiny will grant the Host a massive Destiny Point reward."

"How many Destiny Points are needed to exchange for the Pill King Heart Sutra and the Destiny Extraction Technique?" Chu Tian's interest stirred.

Naturally, he did not intend to switch to cultivating alchemy.

He still understood the principle that one who grasped at too much would chew nothing well.

A person's energy was limited.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

His foolish Second Sister, Chu Yueyao, had been schemed against by Ye Tianxiong since childhood. She had followed Desperate Poison Venerable in cultivating poison arts and alchemy. Though she clearly possessed extraordinary cultivation talent, she had been suppressed by her poison arts and led astray onto the path of alchemy. But since she had already embarked on this road, having her cultivate the Pill King Heart Sutra and the Destiny Extraction Technique would be most suitable. It would also allow her to escape Desperate Poison Venerable's control.

"Host, the total cost is 11,000 Destiny Points," the system replied.

"That isn't much." Chu Tian nodded thoughtfully. He had asked Chu Tianyun, and Second Sister Chu Yueyao would be returning soon to collect some precious Divine Medicines from home for Desperate Poison Venerable.

Alchemy was not mainstream, after all. Though they were top-tier scriptures, their price was not high.

At this moment, two Law Enforcement Hall disciples appeared and respectfully said to Chu Tian, "Little Holy Son, by order of the Hall Master, we have come to apprehend prison escapee Ye Fan."

Chu Tian nodded, understanding that Chu Tianyun had learned of the news and sent people to pursue him. He waved a hand. "Take him away. Strengthen the guard. Tell Third Uncle for me that from now on, without my permission, no one is allowed to take Ye Fan out of the Sin Domain prison."

"Remember, no one."

Ye Fan had been taken directly away by Ye Tianxiong without obtaining the permission of Chu Tianyun, the Hall Master. Calling it a prison break would not be an exaggeration.

But if Ye Fan had truly taken Hui Mei's three moves and rendered a service to the sect, coupled with the Ye Family offering up some Divine Medicines and gaining the approval of many higher-ups, perhaps he really could have had his crimes wiped clean.

Ye Tianxiong's face darkened to the extreme. Calling Ye Fan a prison escapee was clearly Chu Tianyun's way of rebuking him for being the Sect Master yet failing to follow sect rules and procedures, bypassing him, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, and personally taking away a major criminal from the Sin Domain prison.

And Chu Tian's words—the so-called "no one"—were clearly aimed at him, the Sect Master.

Yet even as this uncle-and-nephew pair insulted him to his face, he could not refute them.

Because Ye Fan's performance on the arena after coming out had been far too humiliating. It would not be an exaggeration to say he had disgraced the entire sect.

Had Chu Tian not stepped onto the arena to salvage the situation and defeat Hui Mei, Sacred Heaven Sect might truly have become a laughingstock.

At a time like this, Ye Fan being able to keep his life was already entirely due to his surname being Ye and to having him, the Sect Master, as an uncle.

Not to mention that even Chu Tianwang was no longer cooperating with him, while Chu Tian had just rendered great merit and won the praise of numerous higher-ups and Grand Elders.

Under such circumstances, Ye Tianxiong could only watch with a livid face and remain silent as Ye Fan was apprehended and taken away once more.

"Yes, Little Holy Son."

The unconscious Ye Fan was quickly bound in iron chains by the Law Enforcement disciples and taken away, disappearing from Sacred Emperor Peak.

A cold glint flashed through Chu Tian's eyes. He raised his head to glance at Ye Tianxiong's livid face on the high platform, then turned to leave Sacred Emperor Peak.

But at that moment, he suddenly realized someone had wrapped their arms around his leg.

Chu Tian turned and looked down. A gleaming bald head entered his view, still bearing five faint dark-red finger marks, though they had almost fully faded.

Hui Mei stared wide-eyed, hugging his leg with both hands. His incomparably bewitching face looked somewhat embarrassed, tears still clinging to the corners of his eyes, yet his voice was full of determination as he said, "Big Brother, accept me as your little brother."

Before long, Chu Tian returned to Sacred Emperor Peak in complete confusion. This time, however, a bald little follower trailed behind him—Hui Mei.

Chu Tian was speechless as well. How had he gone out for a fight and somehow gained a little brother for no reason at all—and a Son of Destiny at that?

But Hui Mei following him had been approved by Chu Tianwang.

Though the commotion earlier had been quite significant, with Hui Mei pointing at mountains and rivers, to two colossal sects, it had merely been a minor interlude.

The Cihang Sacred Sect behind Hui Mei was an ancient sacred land that had long occupied the position of Hengtian Continent's number one sect. Naturally, Chu Tianwang wanted to maintain good relations with them, and Chu Tian could not simply drive him away.

Still, a Son of Destiny taking a beating and then shamelessly insisting on recognizing him as his big brother felt utterly bizarre no matter how Chu Tian thought about it.

He was a man bound to a villain system.

"Big Brother, this is the meeting gift your little brother has prepared for you. Please see whether you like it." The moment they returned to the main hall, Hui Mei took out a purple box and opened it. Dense spiritual energy immediately spread through the air, accompanied by profound Dao essence.

Inside the box lay a divine fruit the size of a fist, purple-red and shaped like an apple, its surface covered in purple patterns. Divine radiance flowed from it, making it sparkle brilliantly with astonishing allure.

"The Cihang Sacred Fruit?"

At the sight of it, Chu Tian's expression became calm again. He raised a hand and closed the box. "One should not accept rewards without merit, especially when I just gave you a beating.

This Cihang Sacred Fruit is said to cleanse impurities from the body, remake one's flesh and bones, and grant insight into the laws of heaven and earth. It is of great use even for breaking through to the Emperor Venerable realm.

You are giving me such a heavy gift. Don't tell me you are begging me to beat you up again. If that is the case, I can grant your wish right now."

Chu Tian spoke with a half-smile as he raised his hand, and fierce spiritual fluctuations rippled outward.

"Big Brother, no, no, no! I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Don't make a move. I surrender—I can't beat you." Hui Mei scratched his gleaming bald head before saying somewhat sheepishly,

"I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to let it get out."

"It's just... can you teach me how to cultivate the Eye of the Heavenly Dao? I want to pursue my cousin—the one you knocked down from first place on the Earth Ranking, Hui Lian."
