Chen Qimeng took a deep breath, silently admiring Little Yu's quick thinking.
Perfect!
Drawing the crowd's attention first was the best strategy.
No matter how bold that yellow-haired thief acted, he wouldn’t dare cause trouble in front of so many people.
Initially, Chen Qimeng had been a little worried.
She feared Little Yu might have misjudged—what if the phone wasn’t stolen by the yellow-haired thief but dropped somewhere else?
But to her surprise,
the moment they confronted him, the thief came up with the most ridiculous excuse.
When Little Yu patted his arm earlier, it was clearly just to calm him down.
How could that possibly "break" his arm?
The thief must’ve panicked and blurted out that pathetic lie.
An innocent person wouldn’t just "accuse" Little Yu like that!
Only someone with no defense would make up such a flimsy excuse!
Chen Qimeng turned on her phone’s video recording, ready to gather evidence.
If anything unfavorable happened to Little Yu later, at least it’d be documented clearly.
Under Black Bear’s stunned gaze, Lin Yu spoke up:
"Big bro, you tell me—is this fair?"
"He’s a thief! My phone’s definitely on him!"
"Earlier, he was tailing me, so I turned around and asked him a question."
"Then, when he acted all annoyed, I just…"
"lightly patted him. Now he’s claiming I broke his arm?"
"Do you believe that, big bro?"
Black Bear: "!!!"
What the hell?
Asking him to mediate?
Damn it, he was here to extort money!
But with the current atmosphere…
Black Bear glanced at his lackey, Yellow Lion.
The lackey was busy arguing loudly with the onlookers:
"What’re you all yapping about? Which one of you saw me steal his phone?"
"And you—what’s it to you?"
"Quit staring! Stop framing an innocent man!"
"..."
Black Bear: "..."
Shit!
This wasn’t going the right way!
If he sided with Yellow Lion now,
he’d definitely be labeled as an accomplice.
What really shook Black Bear was…
Did Yellow Lion actually steal a phone and try to keep it for himself?
If he didn’t steal it,
why would this punk in front of him come over and say all this?
Was Yellow Lion… playing him for a fool?
[Ding!]
[Critical hit! Once the seed of doubt is planted, it’ll tear apart an unstable partnership!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Black Bear instinctively took half a step back, trying to blend in with the crowd.
Then, he spoke cautiously:
"How should I judge this?"
"I didn’t see how you patted him, nor did I see him steal from you."
"If you say he took your phone, why don’t you… check his pockets?"
Yellow Lion froze: "???"
What the hell?
What was Big Bro Bear spouting?
Weren’t they supposed to be scamming money together?
Now he was suddenly playing the righteous mediator?
This was straight-up betrayal!
What happened to "brothers stick together, loyalty for life"?
Black Bear kept shooting Yellow Lion warning looks, telling him to shut up.
Truthfully,
Black Bear was also nudging Lin Yu to act.
He genuinely wanted to see
if that little bastard Yellow Lion had been skimming profits behind his back.
What were the odds?
Two easy targets in a row, yet his usually reliable lackey kept failing?
What were the odds that two light slaps from him made Yellow Lion’s arm go numb?
Was this little snake pocketing the loot and making excuses to bail?
Had he been raising a traitor all along?
Lin Yu was loving every second of this.
Sure, in public, you couldn’t just search someone even if you suspected theft.
But right now, all he needed was Black Bear’s stance.
And sure enough, Lin Yu hadn’t misjudged him—what a "great" big bro!
Lin Yu clapped his hands and nodded emphatically:
"Big bro, you’re absolutely fair."
"This thief keeps making excuses. If I find my phone on him, let’s see what he says then."
When Yellow Lion saw Lin Yu approaching, he raised his voice,
pointing with his one good arm:
"Don’t you dare touch me! Who gave you the right?"
Lin Yu put on a mock boxing stance, feigning anger:
"Better behave—I’m the city boxing champion."
"You said your arm’s broken, right? Move it even a little, and you’re exposed as a liar and a thief."
"Try swinging at me, and I’ll defend myself—legally."
With that,
Lin Yu rolled his neck and bounced on his toes, closing in on Yellow Lion.
At the same time,
he didn’t forget to remind Black Bear:
"Big bro, thanks for speaking up. Do me a favor and block the right side."
"Don’t let him escape that way—much appreciated!"
Black Bear: "..."
This little punk and his useless commentary!
Just fight already—why drag him into it?
He was already edging back into the crowd!
Would it be too late to shout, "Calm down, no violence"?
While Black Bear’s brain scrambled, Yellow Lion couldn’t hold back.
Yellow Lion’s heart raced: "!!!"
Earlier, Lin Yu seemed like some harmless pretty boy.
But now, with that "professional stance," he actually looked legit!
If he really was a boxing champ… would he get beaten to pulp?
Great. Just great.
What a fantastic big bro he had.
Lured him into a scam,
then bailed the moment things got tense.
Now he was egging this guy on to search him?
No way out? Fine—let’s all go down together…
[Ding!]
[Fatal blow! Under the Saint’s strategy, Yellow Lion and Black Bear’s partnership crumbles completely!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Hearing the system’s chime, Lin Yu didn’t rush forward.
Instead, he gave Yellow Lion plenty of time and space to… perform.
"I really didn’t steal your phone—stay away!"
"With all these people watching, if you lay a finger on me, I’ll drop dead right here and sue you into oblivion!"
Yellow Lion scrambled sideways, deliberately moving closer to Black Bear.
The crowd shifted with him, widening the circle.
Black Bear: "!!!"
This idiot!
If you’re running, why come toward me?
But the next moment—
"Big Bro Bear! Help me out here!"
"This guy’s lost his damn mind!"
Yellow Lion wasn’t forgetting the plan—he just refused to be the fall guy.
If he was gonna get beaten up, he’d drag his "big bro" down with him.
The moment Yellow Lion shouted "Big Bro Bear,"
the crowd’s eyes locked onto Black Bear, their expressions shifting instantly.
Lin Yu put on an Oscar-worthy "shocked" performance.
Worried the crowd might miss it, he helpfully announced:
"Ohhh!!"
"Now I get it…"
"You two are in cahoots!"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world.

Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought!
