City: I Started As A Rich Second Generation Villain - Chapter 17 – Furious Lin Tian
Gu Junqing’s parents called him aside mainly to discuss the matter of Principal Gao.
To be honest, they were also quite angry about what had happened.
They wanted to know whether their son needed them to handle the situation personally.
That Principal Gao had actually drugged their future daughter-in-law.
It would likely be impossible to see him again in the future—but this was the retribution he deserved. According to the original novel’s description, Principal Gao abused his authority to commit countless vile acts, a truly beastly existence. His death would be welcomed by many.
After understanding the situation, Gu Junqing decided it would be best to simply make him disappear.
This time, he had acted somewhat impulsively—beating someone so brutally and doing it publicly. He hadn’t fully considered the consequences.
He would be more cautious next time.
Right now, Gu Junqing only wanted proper rest. After all, he had just gone through a major ordeal and was exhausted after beating Principal Gao so severely.
What surprised him most was that the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon he had obtained from the lottery had suddenly begun operating on its own. It continued circulating within his body even while he moved.
He had never expected the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon to function like the cultivation techniques described in myths and legends. The discovery genuinely delighted him.
Not only that, but his physical attributes—stamina, endurance, and overall bodily strength—had all improved. Even his facial features appeared sharper, and his temperament subtly changed.
His combat power had also increased under its operation.
So this was the miraculous function of the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon. No wonder the Yellow Emperor was said to have ascended to immortality overnight.
It truly was an extraordinary technique.
Gu Junqing felt excited—he had never expected to draw something so valuable from a single lottery pull.
He even checked its price in the system mall and found it far beyond anything he could currently afford.
By the time he returned home, it was already 11 p.m. He sent Luo Ningyu a message but received no reply, realizing she was already asleep, so he didn’t disturb her further.
He reviewed today’s gains and found his Villain Points had exceeded 10,000.
He also calculated Lin Tian’s Protagonist Halo and discovered it had already dropped by more than half. With just a little more pressure, he would be able to purchase the Sky-Stealing Talisman and steal Lin Tian’s Golden Eyes talent.
Then he could eliminate this protagonist completely.
Fortunately, this protagonist was still in the early stages of development; otherwise, Gu Junqing wouldn’t have been able to manipulate him so easily.
Feeling satisfied, Gu Junqing took a shower and went to sleep.
…
Dawn slowly lifted its curtain, ushering in another bright morning as freshness filled the world.
By this time, Gu Junqing had already arrived at school. He wanted to verify whether the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon was truly effective.
Tianlin High School had strict regulations: teachers needed to arrive early to prepare lessons, while students were not required to come so early.
His classmates hadn’t arrived yet, and he was currently in Yu Miaojin’s office.
The two were talking privately.
Gu Junqing wanted Yu Miaojin to confirm her feelings—whether she was truly willing to be with him.
Their relationship had advanced unexpectedly fast, something that surprised even Gu Junqing, let alone Yu Miaojin.
Although she had already expressed her willingness to be with him the previous day, he still wanted reassurance.
He could clearly see that Yu Miaojin was growing increasingly fond of him—the affection in her eyes was unmistakable.
In fact, the system rewards alone proved she had already developed deep feelings for him.
Gu Junqing gently patted Yu Miaojin’s head.
This time, however, he clearly sensed the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon circulating within him, causing his lips to curl into a faint smile. It truly was a top-tier cultivation method.
Could it be that it activated only during certain moments?
When Gu Junqing returned to the classroom, Murong Wan and Luo Ningyu casually approached him to chat.
“Gu Junqing, what’s that scent on you? It smells kind of nice… but also a little strange,” Murong Wan said, wrinkling her delicate nose as she leaned closer to sniff him.
“Well, I had something urgent yesterday and went to a seaside villa. I just came back, so it might be the smell of sea breeze. If you don’t believe me, ask Ningyu—she saw how rushed I was when I left yesterday,” Gu Junqing replied smoothly, lying without hesitation.
Murong Wan glanced suspiciously at Luo Ningyu. After seeing her nod, she dropped the matter.
Relieved to have fooled them, Gu Junqing relaxed.
Soon, the class bell rang.
Yu Miaojin walked into the classroom.
The moment she entered, she shot Gu Junqing a glare—at that scoundrel—before beginning the lesson.
As she taught, the students couldn’t pinpoint anything specific, but they all felt something about Teacher Yu Miaojin had changed.
She simply seemed… even more beautiful.
While most students failed to notice anything concrete, Lin Tian, with his Golden Eyes and heightened perception, easily detected the difference.
Although his Golden Eyes could not yet see through objects, they allowed him to observe minute details.
His face twisted with rage as fury surged inside him.
He noticed that Yu Miaojin, who had walked normally yesterday, now showed a subtle change in her gait. Her demeanor was different as well.
Her frequent smiles and radiant expression made her seem like someone newly in love.
All signs suggested that Yu Miaojin had entered a relationship within the past few days—and perhaps had already…
Lin Tian’s emotions exploded.
Back when Yu Miaojin had shown him special attention, he had already regarded her as his exclusive possession—someone no one else was allowed to touch.
He never imagined someone would beat him to it.
Lin Tian’s face flushed dark red, as though invisible green hats were stacking endlessly on his head.
“Who was it?!” he silently roared, twisting around to examine everyone in the classroom.
He suspected everyone.
Finally, when class ended, Gu Junqing walked up to Yu Miaojin under the pretense of asking a question—his real intention being to provoke Lin Tian.
Seeing Yu Miaojin like this made him feel a slight twinge of guilt. She still had to teach classes, yet he had taken her again.
Nevertheless, his objective had clearly been achieved.
[Ding, host has caused protagonist Lin Tian to lose emotional stability. Protagonist Halo -100. Reward: 2000 Villain Points.]
The system notification made Gu Junqing smile faintly as he turned to glance at Lin Tian.
Seeing Lin Tian’s gaze filled with murderous intent brought him satisfaction.
In the original story, Gu Junqing had been driven to ruin by Lin Tian—his family destroyed and his life ended.
This was far from enough.
Lin Tian had finally realized who the man was that had taken Yu Miaojin.
Gritting his teeth, he whispered the name:
“Gu Junqing.”
At this moment, his hatred toward Gu Junqing had reached its absolute peak. He could barely suppress the urge to eliminate him entirely.
