Chapter 1151: Chapter 498: Your Bullying is Too Despicable, The Origin of the Instrument

Lin Qinghe looked at the retreating figures of Qi Yuan and Shen Lingfeng, a helpless expression in his eyes.

"Summon the guards, issue a warrant for the arrest of the murderer, Fang Shisan from the Guangyao Society."

In Jining Prefecture, there was a Government Office, but within the Office, the words of the Court were not as effective as those of the Heavenly Sect.

It could even be said that to become the Prefectural Governor of Fengshan Prefecture, one needed the approval of the Heavenly Sect.

The Shen Family in Fengshan Prefecture was already a family of great renown, not to mention that Shen Lingxuan was a True Disciple of the Heavenly Sect.

Shen Lingfeng’s face was something that he still had to honor.

"Understood, Chief!" The other officers nodded in agreement.

...

As night fell, a triumphant look appeared in Shen Baiting’s eyes: "Today’s performance was not bad, with a bit more effort, going to Yesan Lake... My status within the Shen Family will greatly rise!"

Today, the main and branch lineage of the young generation had gathered in the Shen Family to select those with Artificer Talent and then choose candidates to go to Yesan Lake to participate in the great Artificer competition.

"However, my Talent... is still inferior to Baihu and the others... I need to resort to some extraordinary methods." Shen Baiting thought of giving gifts.

His Talent was not bad, but it was not the most outstanding.

Especially in comparison to Shen Baihu, he fell far short.

"At first, I felt guilty about squeezing Shen Baihu out with gifts, but... since he told that Son-in-law what I said to him, now I feel completely justified!"

Shen Baiting murmured to himself, as if being a whore still trying to erect an archway for herself.

"And that Son-in-law..." Shen Baiting’s eyes gleamed with intense killing intent.

The man was aggressively provoking him, infuriating him to no end.

"Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to bully you?"

"If it were the dead of night, with no one around, I would surely show you that I’m not to be trifled with!"

Shen Baiting whispered in the room.

He was confident; he had many ways to teach Qi Yuan a lesson and then appear as the victim afterward.

"What, you’ve come to your senses and want to bully me now?"

Just then, a figure beside the wall pushed open the door with a swift motion, half-entering Shen Baiting’s room, with a look of glee on his face.

Upon seeing who it was, Shen Baiting’s eyes widened, his face showing disbelief.

"Qi... Qi Yuan, how are you here!" Shen Baiting’s complexion changed repeatedly.

How could Qi Yuan appear so suddenly, like a mouse?

"I’m waiting for you to bully me!" Qi Yuan’s face showed a smug expression, "I heard you saying... that you wanted to bully me, so here I am!"

He was really going all out to complete his acting mission.

"You heard wrong; I never said that!" Shen Baiting hurriedly defended.

He really didn’t know what to say.

One couldn’t even talk to oneself in the middle of the night without being overheard.

"I heard it, you were talking to yourself. Just a little advice, talking to yourself is not a good habit; I usually just think it in my heart," Qi Yuan said, adding another line.

Actually, thinking it in the heart wasn’t safe either, because he could hear those thoughts too.

Shen Baiting looked at Qi Yuan, glanced outside, and did not see anyone else; his eyes flickered, "Did you come alone?"

"That’s right, I came alone. Didn’t you just say that in the dead of night, in a remote place... you can bully me?" Qi Yuan was looking forward to it.

Not having to bring his mother-in-law bath water, a bright prospect emerged where he could be bullied.

Shen Baiting’s face twitched and he was speechless; seeing that no one was around, his courage began to swell.

"Are you really crazy or just pretending to be?" Shen Baiting’s gaze was icy cold.

"I’m not crazy!" Qi Yuan earnestly replied.

Looking at Qi Yuan, Shen Baiting could almost be sure that something was wrong with his brain.

Otherwise, why would he come to his courtyard, asking to be bullied?

And more importantly, coming alone, he really was not afraid of dying.

"Do you really want me to bully you?" Shen Baiting lowered his voice and asked.

He did not sense the presence of others.

"Yes!"

Hearing this answer, Shen Baiting felt that Qi Yuan must have a screw loose.

He was even more envious; why should such a good-for-nothing get to marry a lady as outstanding as Shen Lingxuan!

"Let’s go out and talk!" Shen Baiting steeled his heart.

The courtyard where he lived was a separate one, quite secluded.

The conversation he had with Qi Yuan earlier certainly wouldn’t have been overheard.

Soon, Qi Yuan followed Shen Baiting into the courtyard.

Shen Baiting’s courtyard was quite large, even featuring a small pond.

The pond had verdant lotus leaves and tender lotus pods spread out, and the water’s surface was covered with dense duckweed; it was a decent feed for pigs.

Standing at the edge of the pond, Shen Baiting entertained many thoughts and showed a look of pity on his face: "Qi Yuan... you shouldn’t have crossed me."

"I haven’t wronged you."

"You couldn’t outplay me before you were crazy, much less now that you are..." Shen Baiting’s eyes revealed a disdainful look.

He had already thought of how to discipline Qi Yuan and still present himself as the victim.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, suddenly pinching at Qi Yuan’s waist.

"You wanted me to bully you, didn’t you?"

With that pinch, he secretly used his hidden strength. This kind of force had been taught by a master—mysterious and unfathomable—not even the Earth-level Army Commander could detect the injury.

He dealt his hand without mercy.

This hidden force first caused pain, then lay dormant, slowly undermining Qi Yuan’s body.

Once, in the side branch, one of his cousins had extraordinary Talent, which made Shen Baiting extremely envious.

The cousin always looked after him and even shared the resources bestowed by the main family with him.

As his jealousy grew wildly, under the pretense of sparring, he secretly infused this strange hidden force into his cousin’s body.

About two years passed, and the cousin’s health deteriorated progressively until he could no longer Cultivate and even ended up with a crippled leg.

The cousin never suspected Shen Baiting, even giving all his accumulated resources to Shen Baiting for free, hoping that Shen Baiting could lead the side branch to strength.
