Chapter 107 Prepare to sneak in
Ding Mo shook his head and tried to explain to Lin Zhifeng: "From the moment a person is born, their destiny is basically predetermined. If you change their destiny, you will have to bear the consequences behind them. That's why I said: your decision is the most important."
Lin Zhifeng said, "But don't universal values teach us to be good people, do good deeds, and save others?"
Ding Mo said, "Actually, Heaven may not care whether you are good or bad. For example, the most difficult test of inner demons during ascension has been passed by many wicked people. Doesn't this also show that as long as you can get past your own inner hurdle, that's enough?"
"Moreover, there have never been any clear moral standards. Don't people just follow their hearts when they do things? So just do whatever you want."
Lin Zhifeng felt that what he said was not quite right, but he couldn't stand on the moral high ground to refute him.
Lin Zhifeng's values have always guided him to be a kind and good person. But in today's situation, the question arises: how should one choose? There's no clear standard; different people will have different opinions. No matter what you choose, others will say you did wrong. So instead of getting caught up in this pointless agonizing, it's better to follow your heart, as Ding Mo said, and do what you believe is right.
Another point that struck him about Ding Mo's viewpoint was that even if evil people commit countless wicked deeds, as long as they don't feel they've done anything wrong, it won't prevent them from ascending to the upper realm. This shows that the conditions that hinder a person's ascension aren't limited by moral standards like good or evil; it's solely based on strength.
In that sense, the gods and powerful figures in the upper realm are a mixed bag, with all sorts of people.
Excellent! This is human nature!
Lin Zhifeng had finally come to his senses, but he didn't forget to instruct Ding Mo: "Uncle-Master, try not to talk about your theory with others in the future. I'm afraid ordinary people won't understand it and will criticize you. Besides, it won't be good for your reputation if it gets out."
Ding Mo said, "Okay."
Lin Zhifeng: "..."
"You agreed so easily? I had prepared so many arguments to persuade you!" Lin Zhifeng thought to himself.
Fortunately, the butcher's matter didn't cause any further trouble and just passed.
In the days that followed, Lin Zhifeng and his companions would go out for leisure during the day and return to the inn in the evening to enjoy the meals delivered by Boss Zhang.
Of course, the food was only pretended to be eaten; in reality, it was disposed of.
I don't know what changes will happen to my body if I actually eat it. Anyway, I can't think about it too much, otherwise it will be full of loopholes.
Fortunately, since being enlightened by Ding Mo, Lin Zhifeng no longer criticizes himself to the point of being overly demanding. Adhering to the principle of "if you're not convinced, then fight," he is prepared to interrogate Boss Zhang and the man in the east wing if he is ever exposed.
Fortunately, they didn't get caught, so they decided to pretend to be captured, sneak into the enemy's headquarters, and find an opportunity to wipe them out.
A few days later, Lin Zhifeng, as usual, used an invisibility talisman after returning to his room at night to go to Boss Zhang's place to monitor his every move.
These days, they worked together during the day, always keeping an eye on Boss Zhang. At night, Lin Zhifeng and Ding Mo took turns using invisibility talismans to continue the surveillance.
That night should have been the appointed time; their batch of "new clothes" was ready for delivery.
Boss Zhang got up and went to the east wing of the backyard to report, and Lin Zhifeng followed him in.
When Boss Zhang saw the person in the east wing, he still acted obsequiously.
When he said that "the goods are ready," the man in the east wing was very happy.
"I'll send someone to contact them and have them come to pick up the goods. Tomorrow night, add some muscle relaxant to their soup. Once they're unconscious and unable to move, we'll deliver the goods."
Mr. Zhang quickly agreed, but didn't go back immediately. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, there's something..."
The man in the east wing said impatiently, "Stop beating around the bush, just say what you have to say."
Boss Zhang said, "Those people have been going out every day these days, turning the whole town upside down. They even asked me about the disciples of the Broken Dream Pavilion. I just brushed them off because I've had too many people come and go and I can't remember them all."
"Was it sent by the sect of the people who went missing before?" Boss Zhang asked worriedly.
The man scoffed, "So what if it's that Shattered Dream Pavilion sect? They're just a second-rate sect. Their only Void Refinement Realm members are their sect leader and a few old, immortal elders. If I hadn't failed my ascension, wiping out their sect would have been a piece of cake. So you don't need to be afraid. The more they send, the better; they're just bringing us new clothes."
Boss Zhang was indignant: "You're just bragging. You little brat, you look like nothing more than a Nascent Soul cultivator. With your kind of attitude, you'll eventually run into a brick wall and learn your lesson."
But while he was thinking about it, he kept showering the man with compliments until he was satisfied. Before sending him away, he said, "Don't worry, you've done such a good job, I'll report to them, and they'll give your son even more support."
Mr. Zhang expressed his deepest gratitude: "Thank you, sir."
Boss Zhang said goodbye and returned to his room, and Lin Zhifeng also returned to his room.
Lin Zhifeng explained the situation to Ding Mo in this way.
Ding Mo said, "We need to inform Lin Jun and the others of this news. We'll all put on a show together tomorrow."
Lin Zhifeng said, "Uncle-Master, there is one more thing we need to prepare in advance."
Ding Mo asked, "What is it?"
Lin Zhifeng said, "After we are drugged tomorrow, we will inevitably be searched. To prevent any important property loss, you can entrust your spirit swords and spirit beasts to me for safekeeping. I have a way to prevent them from taking them."
Ding Mo was quite surprised to hear this. To possess a storage space that wouldn't be discovered by others was something even a Void Refinement Realm expert couldn't do. It required a Body Integration Realm or Great Ascension Realm expert to achieve.
Despite his surprise, Ding Mo wasn't one to talk back. He simply took out his Dragon Roar and the storage ring containing the White Tiger Beast, and silently handed them to Lin Zhifeng.
Lin Zhifeng exploited a loophole in the system: each storage slot could only hold one item, and if these people's spirit swords and spirit beasts were stored separately, there simply wouldn't be enough space. However, Lin Zhifeng used a storage bag to put all these storage rings, storage bracelets, etc., together, and then placed them in the system's inventory, requiring only one slot in total.
Lin Zhifeng praised himself for his cleverness. However, there was a drawback to this: with everything in one place, it was hard to find things when you needed them urgently.
Thinking of this, he took out Ding Mo's Dragon Roar and put it in one of the system's inventory slots.
In this way, he can ensure that his bodyguard can get his weapons immediately in case of danger.
He also told Ding Mo, "Uncle-Master, when the fight starts, just say 'Sword, come!' and I'll put the Dragon's Roar sword in your hand immediately."
Ding Mo nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
After dealing with the storage of Ding Mo's belongings, Lin Zhifeng affixed an invisibility talisman and quietly went out.
He informed Lin Jun and the others one by one that they would be acting after drinking soup the next night.
Those who weren't confident in their acting skills were worried.
Lin Zhifeng was prepared; he gave them a tranquilizer pill that would cause them to lose consciousness, and let them choose to take it themselves.
Regarding Lin Jun and his companions' personal belongings, Lin Zhifeng offered the same advice as Ding Mo.
Lin Jun and the others naturally obeyed his every word.
Even worse, stingy guys like Jinzi even entrusted Lin Zhifeng with the safekeeping of his storage bag, which contained very few spirit stones.
Lin Zhifeng laughed and said, "Brother, you really know how to be resourceful! It's a good thing you're the only one who made this request, otherwise we would all be exposed if they searched us tomorrow night."
Jinzi chuckled and said, "You're all richer than me, so have pity on me! I failed to upgrade my spirit sword once last time. The upgrade materials for these two upgrades have really emptied my brother's pockets."
Lin Zhifeng really felt sorry for his unlucky constitution.
So he kindly said, "Brother Jin, next time you upgrade your spirit sword, if you trust me, I can upgrade it for you. Although I can't guarantee a 100% success rate, it will definitely be higher than yours."
Jinzi was so happy that she readily agreed.
In fact, upgrading weapons consumes the operator's luck, so even though Jinzi knew that Lin Zhifeng was a lucky person, he was too embarrassed to ask him for help.
But since he's asked for it today, don't blame your brother for being shameless and not being polite.
