Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 13: Taking Action

Lin Yu was not surprised that his identity had been exposed. Despite being extremely cautious, the Qin family’s influence was too vast, from the central Intelligence Office and various ministries to provinces all over, filled with Qin family members.

The fact that the Qin family took over a decade to pinpoint his whereabouts showed how well he had hidden himself.

However, Lin Feng could no longer hear what came next because his mind was consumed with one thing. The Thousand Waves Guild also belonged to the Qin family!?

Lin Feng knew that Jashi Entertainment, which Su Keqing was signed with, was a subsidiary of the Thousand Waves Guild, and the head of Jashi Entertainment was the scion of the Thousand Waves Guild.

Two days ago, Su Keqing was called to a banquet to entertain the eldest son of the Qin family! The man who forced Su Keqing was Qin Xian!!!

Lin Feng’s eyes turned blood-red.

Qin Xian!!!

Qin Xian had interfered with his awakening ceremony, causing his career change to fail and forcing the goddess in his heart, Su Keqing. Ruining his future and stealing his beloved!

At this moment, Lin Feng was filled with resentment and hatred toward Qin Xian, his eyes burning with murderous rage! Even a sinister, twisted aura from the void began to emerge around him!

Seeing Lin Feng in such a state, Lin Yu frowned, placing a hand on his shoulder. A stream of calming energy washed over him, soothing Lin Feng’s turbulent emotions and killing intent.

“Calm down!” Lin Yu’s stern voice pulled Lin Feng back from his frenzy. With a deep sigh, Lin Yu looked deeply at Lin Feng: “I don’t know if giving you the Arcane Source was right or wrong.”

Although powerful and mysterious, the Arcane Source originated from the void. Void signified madness and distortion. Over the years, Lin Yu’s research on the Arcane Source revealed its ability to influence the mind.

The reason he adopted Lin Feng was because, even as a child, he exhibited great resistance and mental fortitude against the void’s aura. Yet it seemed the Arcane Source still affected Lin Feng during moments of intense emotion.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng forced himself to calm down. Seeing the concern in his adoptive father’s eyes, Lin Feng’s face turned resolute, speaking in a firm voice, “Don’t worry, I can handle it.”

He couldn’t help but ask, “Why hasn’t the Qin family acted yet?”

Lin Yu replied calmly, “For two reasons: First, the college entrance exams are about to begin, and they are much more significant than the awakening ceremony. The whole nation pays attention, and even the Qin family doesn’t want to cause a scene during the exams…”

“Secondly, the Qin family doesn’t want to expose the existence of the Arcane Source!” Lin Yu’s face revealed a mocking smile, “In the eyes of the Qin family, we are nothing more than ants. Precisely because we are ants, the Qin family is hesitant to act…”

“If things get out of hand and the Arcane Source is exposed, the Qin family might remain unharmed. But the Regent and other factions will not stand by and let the Qin family claim the Arcane Source for themselves.”

Then he turned to Lin Feng and said, “Tomorrow is the college entrance exam, and representatives from universities across the nation will come to assess students. This is our only chance!”

“The Empire’s three major academies are the Imperial Capital Academy, the Zhenlong Academy, and the Jixia Academy.”

“You must get into the Jixia Academy. Although it is not the strongest of the three academies, it has the deepest understanding of void research. Once you’re at Jixia Academy, you can study the power of the void, seek opportunities to venture deep into the void, and find the Emperor!”

“Moreover, the Jixia Academy is highly independent, beyond the Qin family’s reach. As a student of Jixia Academy, you’ll be under their protection. As long as you’re cautious, the Qin family can’t touch you!”

Lin Feng slowly nodded, then asked, “What about the Qin family’s people…?”

Lin Yu answered, “Don’t worry about them. Their target is me. Once your exam is over, I’ll find a way to leave. You will follow the Jixia Academy, and I will contact you later.”

Lin Feng nodded slowly, his eyes filled with reluctance. Lin Yu was not his biological father, but after living together for so many years, they were as close as father and son.

The thought of separation left Lin Feng feeling both reluctant and worried.

Lin Yu chuckled lightly and said, “Don’t worry. I managed to escape from the K77 region back then, and I can do it again. After all, I have something the Emperor gave me…”

…

Donghai City, Nanshan Villa.

Qin Xian was reading through the documents in his hands, detailing all the investigations on Lin Feng, including his relationships and personality analysis.

Qiu Bo stood respectfully by his side, saying in a solemn voice, “Our people are already monitoring Lin Yu and Lin Feng. We’ve taken control of that entire residential area.”

Qin Xian asked calmly, “Have they shown any unusual behavior?”

“No, Lin Feng has been leveling up, and Lin Yu has been running his shop. However, to avoid alerting them, our people haven’t gotten too close.”

“No unusual behavior means Lin Yu knows we’re here.” Qin Xian smiled slightly, casually tossing the documents aside, “We came on a spiritual powered plane and disrupted his adopted son’s ceremony; how could he not suspect?”

“Everything he does is normal now, just to lull us into a false sense of security. Tomorrow is the college entrance exam. Once Lin Feng is accepted into the academy, he will escape. With the academy’s protection, we can’t do anything to Lin Feng, freeing Lin Yu of worries.”

Qiu Bo’s expression turned cold as he asked, “Do you mean we act after the exams?”

“No, he was once the Emperor’s trusted aide and received something from the Emperor. Even though he was surrounded, he was able to escape from the K77 region back then. If he uses that thing again, he can escape once more.”

Qin Xian still wore a smile, speaking softly, “According to the data, Lin Feng should be his carefully chosen bearer for the Arcane Source. With the Arcane Source, he can venture into the void and find the Emperor.”

“Moreover, after so many years, they are like father and son. Lin Feng is his weakness.”

When he mentioned the Emperor, Qin Xian’s eyes flashed with mockery.

Qin Xian stood up, smiling slightly, and suddenly asked, “Has Chen Beiguo left?”

A few days ago, a small void creature invasion occurred near Donghai City, destroying a town. It was a severe incident, and Chen Beiguo personally went to handle it.

“He’s already left.” Qiu Bo said solemnly, “When do we act?”

“Now.”
