At that moment, he had to deal with Zhou Tong.
Heh heh heh.
With Chen Anlin's current hearing, he had caught all of this.
"Hard work leads to strength?" Chen Anlin's gaze sharpened.
He never expected that with Xiao Chen's death, another child of destiny would emerge within the academy. This child of destiny was not discovered through searching, but now that he had been found, his abilities could be assessed.
[Child of Destiny discovered, would you like to check his abilities?]
"Let's check." Chen Anlin communicated with the Destiny Immortal Bottle using his consciousness.
[Child of Destiny: Mo Fan, Luck: Layer.]
[Ability: Hard work leads to strength! (As long as one diligently engages in any task, their cultivation can increase.)]
It was clear from Mo Fan's ability that he too had crossed over. "Hard work leads to strength" was a relatively powerful ability. As long as he kept his head down and worked diligently, he could continuously enhance his cultivation.
This had to be dealt with promptly; such children of destiny could not be allowed to grow unchecked.
Chen Anlin narrowed his eyes. He still felt uneasy about letting that arrogant Li Que grow stronger before. Fortunately, the other party hadn’t hidden away; otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome if he kept growing stronger.
Since then, he had secretly set a rule for himself: whenever encountering a powerful child of destiny with a strong advantage, he must resolve the issue early and crush them in their cradle.
With this thought in mind, Chen Anlin walked directly toward the back courtyard.
Due to Mo Fan's ability of "hard work leads to strength," he had been diligently cleaning even at this late hour.
"Kid, what were you just mumbling about?" Chen Anlin's gaze was cold as he looked at Mo Fan.
The young man before him appeared quite handsome and looked around fifteen or sixteen years old. He wasn’t a student of this place but merely a handyman responsible for chores.
He had always known that at this hour, he was the only one around, so instinctively felt there was no one else here and had complained a bit aloud.
He never expected Chen Anlin to appear. His expression changed slightly as he thought to himself that it was bad news; surely the words he just muttered hadn’t been heard by him?
"What are you talking about?"
"Hmph, a mere servant dares to speak nonsense and covet your mentor. You truly deserve to die."
"I... I didn't."
Mo Fan's face was filled with panic, but his mind raced with thoughts of what to do next. His first instinct was to beg for mercy; as long as he was alive, there was no need to worry. He believed that after some time, he would surely soar to great heights, and when that day came, he would make Chen Anlin pay back today's humiliation tenfold.
"Didn't you? Then kneel down and bow a few times," Chen Anlin said with a smirk, clearly enjoying the situation. This child of fortune had yet to grow into his own, and Chen wanted to toy with him a bit.
Mo Fan gritted his teeth, staring fiercely at Chen Anlin. "You want me to kneel?"
He couldn't comprehend why he should kneel just for speaking a few words behind someone's back.
"Do you dare not kneel?" Chen Anlin's expression turned cold.
At that moment, Mo Fan caught sight of Teacher Zhou Tong stepping out from behind Chen Anlin.
Teacher Zhou had always treated them servants well. Mo Fan believed that after suffering such humiliation, she would surely help him.
"Teacher Zhou, I'm innocent!" Mo Fan pleaded pitifully, looking at her.
To his surprise, the once kind Teacher Zhou merely shot him a cold glance. "Kneel down and apologize to Young Master Chen."
"Ah!!!"
Mo Fan was stunned. He glanced at Chen Anlin, unable to believe that Teacher Zhou would speak in favor of him.
Kneeling it is then! Today's humiliation...
But just as he knelt down, still harboring thoughts of revenge in his heart, Chen Anlin struck him with a palm.
Boom!!
Mo Fan was shocked. "I've already knelt! Why are you still trying to kill me?!"
"Ah!"
He quickly got back on his feet but was sent flying by the force of the blow. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his head tilted, and he died on the spot.
【Ding! The child of fortune Mo Fan has died. Fortune value has been plundered.】
It turned out to be just a minor child of fortune, with only a bit of luck. Chen Anlin shook his head in disappointment.
"Anlin, why bother with someone like this?" Zhou Tong asked, puzzled. She hadn’t heard what Mo Fan had said earlier.
"This guy just said behind my back that he has you now, so he must die!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong's eyes lit up with appreciation. So everything was for her!
Then, Zhou Tong called over some other attendants and used the excuse of Mo Fan attempting to steal something to have them deal with the body. Chen Anlin returned home early.
Sigh, I still need to write a novel for the Empress. I guess I'll pull an all-nighter tonight! Chen Anlin thought as he walked.
However, when he got home, he found Su Menghan waiting for him inside. As soon as she saw him return, she rushed over.
"I just want to rest a bit," Chen Anlin exclaimed, but he was quickly pinned down by Su Menghan.
For the next two days, Chen Anlin stayed at home writing his novel. If he typed at his old speed, finishing a hundred chapters would have been impossible. But now, he could control more than ten pens simultaneously using his energy.
In the end, he wrote an outline and handed it over to the Jade Fairy in his spatial ring for her to continue writing.
"Huh??? You want me to write a story?" The Jade Fairy was bewildered. "Is this how you use me?"
