The entire hall erupted in uproar. No one had expected Qin Luo to actually admit it.
"Holy shit, I made that up. Prosperity from my family was killed and eaten by me, and he admitted to that too?"
"Qin Luo really stole my undergarments? Could it be that he secretly loves me?" A freckle-faced little fairy's face turned bright red.
Ye Chen froze. He had never imagined that Qin Luo would actually admit it.
Only he knew that every bit of this was slander.
"But admitting it is perfect. Qin Luo, Qin Luo, you're dead for sure!"
"Your position as Holy Son will be mine, Ye Chen's. Don't worry—after you die, I'll definitely visit your grave and piss on it twice, so you can bask in my good fortune."
"You're right. I killed those fellow disciples. I did it to cultivate the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art."
Qin Luo's gaze fell upon a junior disciple as he spoke. Since he had already admitted it, then damn it, he might as well smash the pot and break the jar.
Whether the System was reliable or not no longer mattered. When a man died, his dick pointed at the sky—at worst, he would just die one more time!
At least that would be more glorious than dying during circumcision, right?
Having figured all this out, Qin Luo felt an immense sense of relief.
That junior disciple met Qin Luo's gaze and immediately looked away guiltily.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Art had been lost for thousands of years. Even the Heavenly Demon Sect did not possess it. How could Qin Luo possibly have it? Truthfully, he had simply made it up.
[Congratulations to the host for binding the Super Villain System and obtaining the Dream-come-true Startup Gift Pack] [Admitting to the slander. Obtained God Level cultivation technique: Heaven-Devouring Demon Art] [Heaven-Devouring Demon Art: Devour Heaven and Earth, devour the Origin Essence of all manner of special physiques, and ultimately become a Chaos Physique]
"You're right about that too. I'm not an orphan. My family is illustrious, ten thousand times stronger than your Taixu Sacred Land! It's just that my master..."
He had been about to say that his master had stolen him, but then he stopped. His master had taught him cultivation techniques, guided his cultivation, and had even ventured deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains to treat his injuries. After returning to the Sacred Land, he had died without recovering.
Such immense grace! He had no way to repay it, so he could only repay his junior sister.
But why had his junior sister not come today?
Qin Luo glanced around but did not see any sign of his junior sister. If she were here, she surely would not allow anyone to slander her senior brother like this.
"My master picked me up. I am the Heavenly Demon..."
He had just been about to say that he was a spy from the Heavenly Demon Sect when the System's voice rang out once more.
[Identity in question. Bloodline kinship search initiated. It has been discovered that the host is a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty who was lost outside. Experts from the Imperial Dynasty have already come to acknowledge their kin.]
"Holy shit! The System can do that? Damn, System, you're awesome!"
"Can you...?" Qin Luo asked inwardly. Before he could even voice his wish, the System interrupted him.
[It has been detected that the host is entertaining unrealistic fantasies. System explanation: the host is indeed a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty who was lost outside. There is a jade pendant to prove his identity, as well as his bloodline.]
In other words, this was real, not a dream.
All the System had done was help expose his identity.
With a trace of regret, Qin Luo looked at another disciple and said, "You're right too. I was the one who stole the Taixu Bell."
"And you, you're right too. A year ago, I snuck into the Scripture Pavilion and stole the Four Symbols Sword Technique."
"And three years ago, I snuck into the Treasure Pavilion and stole the Nine-Turn Profound Pill."
"And eighteen years ago..."
Qin Luo paused. Eighteen years ago, he had not even arrived yet. Skip that one.
"And you..."
The more Qin Luo spoke, the farther Ye Chen's lips curled upward. They were harder to suppress than an AK.
But at that moment, Liu Ruyan shouted, "Enough!"
The disappointment in her gaze toward Qin Luo was thick. "Senior Brother, have you made enough trouble?"
"Even if you don't want to confess, you don't have to spout such nonsense here."
"When the Scripture Pavilion was robbed a year ago, you clearly weren't in the Sacred Land. How could you possibly have stolen the Four Symbols Sword Technique?"
As soon as she said that, quite a few people froze.
That was right. Qin Luo clearly had not done this—why was he confessing to it?
Could it be that he really had been wronged?
Ye Chen's fist clenched slightly, and a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes. Liu Ruyan was already one of the women he had marked for his harem, yet she was actually speaking up for Qin Luo now.
Could this mean their old feelings still lingered? he muttered inwardly.
"Qin Luo must die!"
"I, Ye Chen, said so! Today, he must die!"
[Admitting to theft. Obtained: Taixu Bell (low-grade Saint Tier), obtained: Four Symbols Sword Technique (low-grade Saint Tier), obtained Nine-Turn Profound Pill (low-grade Heaven Tier)]
More importantly, the first two items he obtained were complete!
The Taixu Bell had been destroyed in a great battle five hundred years ago, leaving it with less than one-tenth of its former power.
The Four Symbols Sword Technique had originally been an incomplete volume. Even incomplete, it had been enough to rank as a low-grade Heaven Tier technique. But what he had gotten now were both Saint Tier—fucking awesome!
The Nine-Turn Profound Pill was even a Heaven Tier medicinal pill, a treasure capable of increasing cultivation.
How could a single word like "awesome" possibly describe this? It should be: awesome, damn awesome, unbelievably awesome!
He turned to Liu Ruyan and said with a smile, "Junior Sister, didn't you just tell me to confess?"
"Now that I've confessed, you're saying I didn't do it."
"You're making this very difficult for me!"
"Tell me, should I confess or not? Whatever crime you say I should confess to, I'll count it as confessed to, all right?"
Seeing the utter unfamiliarity in Qin Luo's eyes and hearing his words, Liu Ruyan found it a little hard to breathe.
Qin Luo had never spoken to her like this before.
"Senior Brother, you've changed. You never used to speak to me this way, Senior Brother..."
"Stop!" Qin Luo cut Liu Ruyan off. "Don't call me Senior Brother. Your senior brother is already dead. He died the moment you chose, again and again, to believe others when they slandered him!"
"You chose this, Junior Sister! Oh, and this is the last time I'll call you Junior Sister. From this day forward, you and I have nothing to do with each other!"
Qin Luo was no longer that bootlicker from before. What happened to bootlickers in the end? They kicked the bucket!
He decisively severed his relationship with Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan looked at the Qin Luo before her and found him utterly unfamiliar. He had protected and cherished her for more than ten years. Even a dog would have developed feelings.
Let alone a person.
Her heart ached. It felt as though something was leaving her, something she wanted to grasp but could no longer pull back.
[A Daughter of Destiny has developed a slight sense of regret, losing -1000 Fortune Points] [Daughter of Destiny discovered] [Name: Liu Ruyan] [Age: 18] [Fortune level: Third tier] [All mortals possess Fortune. Those with great Fortune may be called Children of Destiny. Based on the color of Fortune, they can be divided into red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and so on...

Whether in temperament or appearance, they radiate an indescribable charm.] [Fortune Points: 48000] [Realm: Sea-Opening Realm, seventh layer] [Realms: Qi Gathering, Condensed Veins, Divine Treasury, Profound Core, Sea-Opening, Divine Ability, Spirit Transformation, Grotto-Heaven Realm, Saint Realm (Saint Realm, Saint King Realm, Great Saint)] [Introduction: Qin Luo's childhood sweetheart, daughter of the Taixu Sacred Land's Holy Lord. She has countless bootlickers. Qin Luo and Ye Chen became enemies over this woman. To seize this woman, Ye Chen repeatedly plotted against and framed Qin Luo, leaving Qin Luo's reputation in the Taixu Sacred Land in tatters.]
Qin Luo's mouth twitched. No wonder the previous owner had been such a bootlicker—Liu Ruyan possessed such a bewitching physique.
[Host: Qin Luo] [Age: 19] [Fortune level: Zero tier (black)] [Physique: Innate Mortal Physique] [The most primitive physique of the Human Race, the purest physique. It possesses nothing special, yet is exceptionally suited to cultivating the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art.] [Villain Points: 1000] [Whenever the host causes a Child of Destiny (or Daughter of Destiny) to lose Fortune, the host may obtain Villain Points.

A mere Taixu Sacred Land? Easily handled!]
"Then I can be lawless?"
Qin Luo had already been prepared to die. Now, he had even fewer scruples.
They dared kill him? Heh. The Great Qin Dynasty would make everyone here accompany him in death.
It was fucking worth it!
He turned his gaze toward Ye Chen, his expression growing slightly more solemn. This bastard truly was worthy of being a Child of Destiny.
"System, why are my Fortune Points black? Why am I zero tier?"
[The Fortune of ordinary people is blank white. As for you...]
"Is it because I'm the villain you chose?"
[You're a transmigrator!]
