Ye Chen wasn't just biased against Gu Changge — he could hardly wait for a chance to smash Gu Changge and trample him to death!
Ye Chen's head buzzed as he heard his Master's words.
Were a few words and a pill enough to buy off his Master's favor?
His face couldn't help but distort in pain.
Yan Ji couldn't comprehend why Ye Chen hated Gu Changge with such fervor. But she guessed that it might be related to that woman named Su Qingge.
No matter how one looked at the two, Gu Changge was indeed far better than Ye Chen.
Jealousy was the worst of sins.
In the end, Ye Chen was just too young. He hadn't even grown up into an adult yet, he was just a teenager. His mind was completely immature, and he only knew how to act on his hot-headed tendencies.
"Little Chen, you don't need to envy Young Lord Gu; I believe your future achievements won't be any lower than his..."
Yan Ji persuaded softly, trying her best to resolve the grudge between the two.
After all, if Gu Changge had really wanted to kill Ye Chen, he wouldn't have waited until now. Of course, she didn't know of Ye Chen's status as a Favored Son of Heaven.
If not for that dog-shit Fortune protecting Ye Chen in secret, Gu Changge would never need to act the way he did and orchestrate such a show before he slapped Ye Chen to death.
"Young Lord Gu this, YOUNG LORD GU THAT! If you like him so much, why don't you go to his side then...*
"Why take pity on me and stay here?"
Ye Chen couldn't help but loudly interrupt Yan Ji through gritted teeth. His eyes had already reddened, and he resembled a wounded beast.
Su Qingge had already abandoned him, and now, even his Master, who was the only one he had left, was thinking well of his enemy!
Ye Chen couldn't stand this. His hatred and madness were through the roof.
If he was an ordinary person, he would have already spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot. It was only because of Ye Chen's tempered mind that far exceeded normal humans that he could take such a heavy blow without going insane!
His sudden growl stunned Yan Ji. She couldn't help but lower her eyes as disappointment clouded her gorgeous, scarlet pupils.
She had never expected such words from Ye Chen.
Such behavior could no longer be explained by jealousy. He was a complete simpleton.
Hadn't he seen how she had rejected Gu Changge even after he did his best in trying to invite her over to his side?
Did Ye Chen truly not understand what kind of person she was?
Yan Ji couldn't help but sigh in heart as a breath full of regret escaped through her lips. How good would it have been if the one who helped her awaken was not Ye Chen, but Young Lord Gu?
"Little Chen, I am definitely going to consume this pill, no matter what you say! Even if Gu Changge has other plans, he probably never thought that I would help you escape from the dungeon."
Yan Ji continued. It's just that her voice was less soft, and more cold and majestic.
Consuming the [Immortal Spirit-Gathering Pill] could not only ease her current state, but it could also stabilize her spirit and allow her to exert some of her strength.
'Help me escape?'
'Is that what Master wanted to do?'
Ye Chen thought to himself and didn't utter another word. His mind was in a mess, and he needed to calm down.
Still, he could feel deep down in his heart that he had lost something very important to him. It's just that he couldn't put his finger on what that might be.
...
[Ding! You have successfully created a rift between Ye Chen and his Master! Ye Chen lost 80 Points of his Fortune Value. You received 400 Destiny Points!]
Gu Changge couldn't help but smile as he listened to the melodious System prompt.
His mood couldn't be more wonderful.
Everything had followed the path he paved, and in just a few days, Ye Chen's more than 500 Points of Fortune Value had fallen by half.
Although Ye Chen was still a head above ordinary people, and it would be hard for others to ever match him, this was definitely the greatest loss he suffered in his entire life.
His heroine surrendered to the villain, and a crack also appeared in his Master's heart...
It seems that this Favored Son of Heaven won't be able to prance around in front of him for long.
Afterwards, Gu Changge opened his own Attributes Panel.
In any case, his real purpose behind dealing with Ye Chen is to cut that leek, shave off his Fortune, and improve his personal strength.
He couldn't let his momentary success blind him.
With just a thought, the Attributes Panel appeared.

"From my previous experience, I doubt that a thousand or so Destiny Points will be able to help me break through to the 8th Layer of the [Heavenly Immortal Dao Codex]. At most, it can increase my comprehension of the 7th Layer to some extent...
"This [Heavenly Immortal Dao Codex] must be quite a high-leveled technique, so I won't need to worry about upgrading to a better one for now.
"As for this Immortal Devouring Art...it's something I can't use in front of other Immortals. I have to be careful when I use the secret techniques learned from it.
"After all, a Mystical Ability that lets you swallow Immortals is really going against the Heavens. Once exposed, I will end up as an enemy of the entire world!"
Gu Changge analyzed, and then opened the System Shop.
After having gone through the Original's memory, these Mystical Abilities were truly befitting of someone who was meant to die as a cannon fodder villain who only received a future chapters worth of existence.
Even in the Upper Realms, this [Immortal-Devouring Demon Art] was considered a forbidden technique that could easily discolor the faces of many, and was associated with many ancient horrors.
It had long been buried in the long river of time, and no one dared to mention it. Calling it a Taboo Inheritance wouldn't be an overstatement.
"It seems that I am really fated to walk further and further down the road of villainy..."
Gu Changge quickly shifted his attention to the items in the System Shop.
It was similar to what he had expected, and it was divided into different categories.
[Mystical Martial Arts], [Mystical Bloodlines], and [Auxiliary Items].
Gu Changge first opened the [Mystical Martial Arts] section and looked at the stuff available for purchase.
Heaven, Deity, Holy, and Supreme Ranked techniques...
"Since I don't have enough Destiny Points, I can't access the Supreme Ranked techniques?
"What's more, nothing below Heaven Ranked is included here?
"Also, aren't Heaven Ranked techniques a bit too cheap? They can let a cultivator directly cultivate to the False God Realm, yet they only cost 50 Destiny Points?
"Or is it because the Destiny Points have great purchasing power in the System Shop?
"Sacred Sun Heavenly Manual. Gather the power of the sacred Sun..."
"Sacred Yin Heavenly Manual. Gather the power of the sacred Yin..."
Gu Changge was surprised the diversity of the options.
It wasn't an overstatement to say that a single Heaven Ranked technique could set off a bloody storm in the Eastern Desolate!
