Chapter 38: Oh, how is it unreasonable?
“What the hell is going on?
Didn’t I call him to help me?
He twisted the situation and made me the bad guy.
And the worst part is that I can’t even retort to his words.
What a terrifying man, I should avoid him in the future!”
Mo Fan thought to himself before thinking about what to do.
“What should I do now?
Should I tell them I don’t have the skill book with me?
Yeah, telling the truth is the only way out!”
He looked at Ashen, making a saddened expression as he informed:
“Lord, You are correct, I should give the skill book to the family, however, the problem is that I don’t have it with me anymore”
“Hmm… What do you mean?” Ashen narrowed his eyes as he asked.
“You see lord, I didn’t know how to use the skill book, therefore, I decided to burn it after getting fed up with it, however, after getting burned, the pages from the book began to float up in the air before getting attached to my body.
After that, I felt an excruciating amount of pain before felling unconscious.
After I woke up I heard a strange sound in my head, yelling, Supreme body cultivation method!”
Mo Fan explained everything that had happened.
“Supreme Body Cultivation Method?” Ashen murmured the name along with everyone present.
No one recognized this skill and hence Ashen decided to ask the owner.
“How does this skill work?”
Mo Fan hesitated, however, not seeing a way out, he informed:
“If I get beaten, my body gets tempered and I feel a warm current flowing inside my body and if the current is enough, then I breakthrough!”
“What??” The patriarch and Mo Chen expressed their shock at this skill along with the people present.
Meanwhile, Mo Yi’s father yelled: “That’s why you got stronger after I beat you then. Now I understand!”
“That’s a pretty useful skill I must say.
Now Mo Fan, give it to the family and I will let you leave unharmed”
Ashen informed in a stern tone, asking for the skill once again.
“But Lord, I told you that I don’t have it!” Mo Fan repeated.
“Oh, And how can I believe you?
What if you are lying?
You surely don’t take me for a fool, do you?”
Ashen asked with a glint in his eyes.
Ashen knew that Mo Fan was telling the truth.
How?
Well, let’s just say that the World’s will wouldn’t share the Protagonist’s fortuitous encounter with anyone.
If it was a skill, then it must surely only belong to the protagonist.
However, with this Ashen got to know what this Protagonist’s treasure and cheat was.
Also, the fact that he had already had his fortuitous encounter.
That means Mo Fan had more than 300000 Luck Points originally!
Now, Ashen wanted to see how the World’s will will help Mo Fan out of this situation.
You could say, this was Ashen’s way of Assessing the World’s will.
“Can’t you verify the truth with some treasure?
Maybe a skill?
I am sure someone in the whole Mo family must have something that can verify the truth!”
Mo Fan suggested, finding himself in a pickle.
Even after winning the match, he wasn’t able to leave here.
“What kind of luck do I have?
I have only faced problems since the day my father died.
Why this world hates me?”
Mo Fan cursed his luck.
At this moment, Mo Chen spoke up:
“That’s right Brother Ashen, we can take him to the family and verify the truth!”
“Huh?” Ashen’s eyes widened upon seeing Mo Chen speaking in favor of Mo Fan.
Surely, Mo Chen himself didn’t realize it, however, he was helping Mo Fan out of this situation.
Ashen turned his gaze back at Mo Fan, asking the system:
“System, How many Luck Points does he have now?”
[Luck Points – 290000]
“I was correct, his luck points have been expended. 10000 points must’ve been expended from the start of the match. Surely, he broke through at the most convenient of times.
Also, Mo Chen’s mind was also being swayed by the World’s will.”
Ashen drifted his gaze at the patriarch before asking:
“What do you suggest we should do, Patriarch?”
The patriarch, without a second thought, answered:
“We should make him a prisoner and interrogate him to make him tell us the truth.
Why waste the time of the Main family over something this small?”
Ashen nodded as he thought to himself:
“Oh, the world’s will couldn’t sway his mind. That means it can only sway the minds of people who have neutral feelings towards the Protagonist. If someone hates the protagonist, his mind cannot be swayed by luck points as their feelings are quite strong to be swayed”
“I don’t agree to becoming a prisoner.
I have done nothing wrong here”
At this moment, Mo Fan’s voice came crashing down.
He had heard the patriarch’s suggestion and seeing Ashen quiet, he thought that he was considering it.
“Alright, let’s do this.
Open your sea of consciousness and let me take a look at your memories.
With that, I can easily verify if you are telling the truth or not”
Ashen suggested with a smile.
However, the reason behind this suggestion was simple.
Although letting someone take a look at your sea of consciousness could make one know the truth, however, letting someone inside was also a risk in itself.
If you let someone inside, he would have full access to your knowledge, however, that wasn’t the biggest risk.
The biggest risk was that if that person decided to mess up your sea of consciousness, you would become a fool without any sense.
It would be the same as killing a person.
Any sane person wouldn’t allow a random stranger to enter his sea of consciousness.
One should only allow someone he fully trusted and Ashen wasn’t that person for Mo Fan.
This was the first time he was meeting Ashen, of course, he wouldn’t let him enter his sea of consciousness.
And Ashen knew that and this was the reason he proposed this in the first place.
Ashen considered both outcomes, If Mo Fan accepted his proposal and let him enter his sea of consciousness, then he would turn him into a fool and just say that he slipped up.
Wouldn’t that be amazing?
A protagonist with such a huge amount of luck, destroyed in seconds.
Just thinking about the villain points gained from that was enough to get Ashen excited.
As for the second outcome which was more likely to happen, Mo Fan would refuse and Ashen would brand him as a liar, making him wrong in the world’s eyes.
Of course, there was also a chance that Mo Fan would request someone else to look into his sea of consciousness, however, Ashen was prepared for that too.
Firstly, there wasn’t anyone here that Mo Fan could trust.
Secondly, even if he had someone, Ashen would just say that this person is his ally and wouldn’t trust his word.
He wouldn’t let Mo Fan leave here today.
Even if Mo Fan had the skill book, Ashen would just say that the book was fake and Mo Fan was trying to fool everyone.
Everything was already thought out by him.
Now was the time for Mo Fan to answer.
He clenched his fists before shaking his head:
“No, I can’t agree to this.
I can’t let you enter my sea of consciousness,
You must understand what you are asking is just too much!”
At this answer, Ashen revealed a smile before raising his eyebrows, asking:
“Oh, Do you not trust me?
If you are telling the truth, you mustn’t have anything to hide right?
Or is it that you were lying from the start?”
He narrowed his eyes while eying Mo Fan with suspicion.
“Yes, this must be the reason.
My lord, I suggest that we just kill him for trying to fool you.
He had the audacity to lie in front of you!”
The patriarch roared as he suggested.
“This patriarch sure is energetic.
He is even more eager than me to kill him”
Ashen mused to himself, seeing the patriarch so eager to kill Mo Fan.
Mo Fan glared at the patriarch as he yelled at him:
“If you think it is so easy to let someone inside your mind then why don’t you let him see your mind?”
The patriarch was taken aback by this, however, Ashen soon came to his rescue.
He couldn’t let Mo Fan seem right in this.
“Why would he let me inside his mind, there is no need for that.
It isn’t him who is lying but you!”
“But lord, what you’re asking is also unreasonable!”
Mo Fan retorted.
“Oh, how is it unreasonable?
You just have to open your mind for a few moments and this whole argument will be over.
This is such an easy task, just do it, otherwise, we would have to resort to force!”
Ashen threatened with an evil smile.
