Gao Feng thought that once White Green Mountain rescued him, the matter would be over.
Little did he know that an even bigger storm awaited him.
A large number of videos featuring Gao Feng have appeared online, and almost all of them have the same title: We want to know the truth!
Then someone else released a video showing Gao Feng leading a group of thugs in a brawl on the very night he was released.
The images were extremely gruesome, the kind that needed to be censored with Masai.
This is indeed real footage.
During the time Gao Feng was imprisoned, some of his Xiao Di rebelled, so the first thing Gao Feng did upon his release was to suppress the rebellion.
Relying on his status as a master of Ancient Martial Arts, he was ruthless and merciless, showing no regard for life or injury.
In a typical wish-fulfillment novel, this would be a perfectly normal plot point. But once it's elevated to the level of rules, then Gao Feng becomes a vicious and ruthless murderer.
The video instantly sparked heated discussions online, with ordinary viewers filled with righteous indignation, creating a public uproar.
This incident has caused such a huge uproar that it's no longer a question of whether the Bai Clan, who helped Gao Feng, can withstand the pressure; a scapegoat is definitely needed.
The Bai Clan Bai Clan had to give up a large amount of resources, and its strength plummeted as a result, almost causing it to fall out of the circle of top families in Dragon Capital.
Gao Feng became a demon hated by everyone and a wanted criminal. White Green Mountain, who had helped Gao Feng, fell ill after the incident and was admitted to a special care facility.
Everything happened in a single day and night, so fast that it caught many people off guard.
No one expected that a nobody, a few videos, and a public opinion storm would almost bring down a family that had been passed down for over a hundred years.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi, the instigator of this whole affair, was staring blankly at his system panel in the villa.
The system panel remained as rudimentary as ever; every time Ling Yi looked at it, he had the illusion of looking at a defective product.
The entire system layout only contains three data entries.
There's a Lottery button in the upper right corner, but it's currently grayed out.
The top left corner displays the current world name and your character's progress.
In the middle is a button for entering or exiting the world of the novel.
In the very small position at the bottom right corner is a help button, used to view system instructions.
As for the Personal Space, it is not located in the system panel.
The School Belle's Personal Bodyguard ( Lin Zhe 45%)!
This 45% role-playing progress is a recent development; previously, the progress had always been 0%.
Ling Yi stroked his chin, beginning to ponder the reason for the progress of this role-playing.
The key issue lies with whom? It's Bai Qianqian's attitude towards him. It shouldn't be like this.
If it's because of the female lead's attitude, then the progress should have increased after the banquet hosted by the Liu Clan patriarch.
Since she's not the female lead, then she must be the Protagonist.
The Protagonist, Gao Feng, has now completely deviated from the original storyline, and this is most likely the reason.
Ling Yi had a bold guess in his mind: if the Protagonist were gone, would the pacing be instantly maxed out?
Although this approach is rather extreme, this world was originally intended for Ling Yi to use as a testing ground.
Ling Yi's purpose in increasing his role-playing level was solely for the system rewards, not to experience the life of a villain.
If there's a better way to achieve the required level of performance in one step, then naturally we should take the shortcut.
However, Gao Feng has already gone into hiding. After all, he is a master of Ancient Martial Arts, so finding him will probably not be easy.
However, Ling Yi believed that Gao Feng definitely hadn't left Qingcheng City; he was probably secretly investigating who was trying to frame him.
To be honest, although my methods are secretive, if I really investigate, I can still find some Silk.
There's definitely no direct evidence, but for the Protagonist, having a suspect is enough.
Therefore, Ling Yi doesn't need to go looking for Gao Feng; Gao Feng will come looking for him sooner or later.
At noon, inside the best Star Grade hotel in the Qingcheng City.
Ling Yi and Bai Qianqian were having a meal in a private room.
Bai Qianqian had clearly dressed up carefully. To be honest, Bai Qianqian truly lived up to her title as the female lead; she was incredibly beautiful. No wonder the original owner of this body Lin Zhe, was so persistent in pursuing her.
However, Bai Qianqian seemed a little flustered at this moment.
"Is this the first time we've sat down to eat together?" Ling Yi said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before."
"There's no need for that. After all, we haven't really known them, so it's normal to be misunderstood. But you, on the other hand, have the courage to stand up against the family. That kind of boldness is rare."
From a purely personal perspective, Bai Qianqian was indeed quite brave.
After learning that he, the eldest son of the Lin Clan, had taken a liking to Bai Qianqian, the Bai Clan naturally did their best to facilitate the matter, even resorting to all sorts of despicable means.
In Bai Qianqian's view, her escape was a fight against fate and a yearning for freedom.
However, from the perspective of family interests, Bai Qianqian's actions are purely putting the entire Bai Clan at risk.
In the original storyline, the Bai Clan's final fate wasn't much better.
Before the Protagonist even gained power, the story had already faded into obscurity. It wasn't Later the Protagonist gradually ascended to the altar that he helped Bai Qianqian rebuild the Bai Clan.
But by then, the Bai Clan only had a few members left.
Bai Qianqian gave a bitter smile and said, "I just don't want my fate to be controlled by my family!"
Ling Yi didn't want to discuss this further, so he changed the subject, asking, "Has Gao Feng contacted you recently?"
Mentioning Gao Feng, Bai Qianqian's face immediately darkened, and she said angrily, "He still dares to contact me? If he dares to contact me, I'll trick him into coming out and then report him to the investigation department."
"I never expected this guy to not only trade in heroin, but also be so ruthless. I really don't know what Grandpa was thinking, why he saved such trash."
Ling Yi nodded and said, "This person is too dangerous. He acts solely on his conscience and has no sense of right or wrong. If he really contacts you, be sure not to anger him."
"Contact me if you encounter any danger."
Bai Qianqian nodded. Through her interactions with Lin Zhe, she increasingly realized that he wasn't as bad as she had imagined. On the contrary, he was gentle and refined, making people feel very comfortable.
This is someone who excels in every aspect, from family background to personal abilities and charisma!
Actually, Bai Qianqian received a phone call from her grandfather White Green Mountain, before she arrived.
White Green Mountain knew that Ling Yi was also in Qingcheng City. Now that the Bai Clan was facing a crisis, only a top family like the Bai Clan Lin Clan could save them.
White Green Mountain hoped that Bai Qianqian could ask Ling Yi for help. He believed that if Ling Yi spoke up, perhaps a single sentence could resolve the Bai Clan's crisis.
But Bai Qianqian didn't know how to start the conversation, and she was too embarrassed to speak.
In reality, even if Bai Qianqian asked for help, Ling Yi wouldn't lend a hand.
He didn't like the concept of a family, including his own Lin Clan, which Ling Yi loathed.
These so-called families always put their own interests first; in ancient times, they would have been like feudal lords who controlled their own territories.
Putting everything else aside, which of these families doesn't have a private army? Take the Lin Clan for example, they have two thousand Ancient Martial Arts masters alone.
Two Ancient Martial Arts masters constitute a terrifying force, enough to change the course of events.
This is blatant abuse of power and arrogance; it's outrageous.
If the Lin Clan harbors any ill intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.
There are five other large families like the Lin Clan.
The Lin Clan may not have such intentions, but what about the other families? Who can guarantee they don't?
The saying "a knight-errant uses martial arts to disrupt order" is not just a figure of speech.
In this world where High Martial Arts arts exist, experts at the Baodan Realm are comparable to divine Divine Mountain on land.
Even later in the story, cultivators appeared, although the cultivators in this world were somewhat weak.
But that is not something that ordinary forces can contend with.
The meal was short, and Ling Yi simply ate without paying much attention to anything else.
Bai Qianqian was also preoccupied and barely ate a few bites of food.
After watching Bai Qianqian leave, Ling Yi glanced in a certain direction and couldn't help but sneer.
Just now, Ling Yi sensed a killing intent.
He has now not only reached the Fifth Tier of the Thunder Dragon Bloodline, but also the Innate Great Perfection Realm. He can naturally sense when someone releases killing intent towards him.
A flash of electricity crackled at Ling Yi's fingertips, but he ultimately refrained from making a move.
Even if we're going to take action, we should wait for the right time, not now.
Ling Yi just wants to test how the role-playing progress will Changes if the Protagonist is gone, or how the world will Changes.
But I don't want to force my way in.
If you're not satisfied with the test results, at Shaolin.
He now wants to use this identity to increase his strength as much as possible in this world. Putting aside everything else, his daily electricity consumption alone costs several thousand yuan.
In the real world, he wouldn't dare do that. Putting aside the money issue, such a huge power consumption would definitely attract attention.
In addition, Ling Yi also wanted to use Lin Zhe's identity to get something of high value to bring into the real world; to put it bluntly, he wanted to make money.
Each time you travel through a world, you can only bring out one item from your Personal Space; it can be a living thing or an inanimate object.
Not only must it be valuable, it must also be easy to sell.
Ling Yi had no desire to cause trouble in the real world.
These are indeed tough times for Gao Feng right now.
He knew someone was framing him, but he hadn't yet found out who it was.
But he instinctively felt that this matter was related to Lin Zhe.
All his misfortunes began only after the eldest son of the Lin Clan arrived in Qingcheng City.
His only clue now is Song Yanyan.
Gao Feng almost never lets go of his green satchel, except when he's with Song Yanyan, in which case he takes it off for a short time.
Yes, Gao Feng and Song Yanyan had an affair, but it was only a one-night stand, and Song Yanyan was the one who initiated it.
Only Song Yanyan had the opportunity to stuff things into her handbag.
But why would Song Yanyan want to harm herself?
Gao Feng couldn't understand this at all.
But none of that matters. As long as we find Song Yanyan, we'll be able to follow the clues and find the person behind it all.
But now it will be difficult for Gao Feng to find Song Yanyan.
But Song Yanyan wasn't stupid. Ever since Gao Feng came out Wuyang, she guessed that Gao Feng's identity was probably not simple, otherwise he would never have been rescued so quickly.
So after Song Yanyan took a sum of money from Ling Yi, she ran away.
They've probably all left the Ancient Country by now.
After learning that Song Yanyan had disappeared, Gao Feng was furious, but he didn't know who to vent his anger on.
For a moment, I didn't know how to begin.
After all, besides his strength, he has no connections or power.
The few small fry he collected in Qingcheng City were completely useless.
Left with no other option, he had to contact White Green Mountain again.
"You shouldn't have called me, cough cough. Your best option now is to leave the Ancient Country. With your abilities, you're bound to achieve great things abroad, cough cough."
"It's not too late to come back and seek revenge once you've established your own power."
White Green Mountain isn't doing well either; he coughs after saying just a few words.
" Elder Bai, I can use the Yama's Life-Stealing Needle on you again, guaranteeing you ten years of life and health. I just want to know who framed me." Gao Feng took a deep breath and revealed his bargaining chip.
"Ahem, there aren't many people who have the ability to do all this!" White Green Mountain said before hanging up the phone.
Gao Feng's face was extremely gloomy, and he said through gritted teeth, " Lin Zhe, it really was you!"
