Chapter 41

In Chapter 2, right from the start, there is a major highlight.

Wan Zhen Shan directly points out that Di Yun's "Shoulder Stabbing Technique," "Slap Technique," and "Sword Removal Technique" are precisely the moves from the "Lian Cheng Sword Technique"!

This revelation makes all the book fans' eyes light up, their hearts pounding with excitement, never expecting that just in the second chapter, the protagonist would learn such top-notch sword skills.

However, the subsequent plot mercilessly extinguishes the spark of joy in their hearts.

Di Yun, bound by his vow, cannot reveal the old beggar's story, and thus suffers some委屈, which is not too significant.

But the plot takes a sharp turn for the worse!

First, Qi Chang Fa and Wan Zhen Shan enter the room to talk. Under pressure, Qi Chang Fa stabs Wan Zhen Shan with a dagger and flees, leaving Di Yun and Qi Fang in an awkward position at the Wan residence.

That night, Di Yun, driven by his sense of justice, is framed and turns from a righteous hero into a rapist!

When he tries to escape, the eight disciples of the Wan family directly cut off all five fingers of his right hand!

In the readers' eyes, the conspirators are clearly the eight disciples of the Wan family, but Di Yun and Qi Fang are unaware. Qi Fang also regards Di Yun as a despicable man, though she still cares about his injuries, bandages him, and shields him from the sword, the misunderstanding between lovers is already set!

Even worse, the innocent Qi Fang regards Wan Gui, the son of Wan Zhen Shan, as a good person, simply because he spoke a few good words for Di Yun.

But any reader knows that Wan Gui is just playing the good cop, clearly with ulterior motives towards Qi Fang, but her innocence prevents her from seeing through it; Di Yun, restrained and defamed, cannot expose his true nature!

Yi Zhan Qian Ji, reading to this point, feels extremely depressed, as if Di Yun's current situation is something he himself is experiencing, and he just wants to fight to the death with these eight despicable people!

But the subsequent plot is even more infuriating!

Di Yun is then sent to the authorities, beaten with dozens of heavy bamboo rods, and then imprisoned, with iron chains piercing his pectoral muscles!

When he shouts his innocence, the jailer pours a bucket of dirty water on him, and the other prisoners in the same cell frequently beat him for unknown reasons.

By this point, Yi Zhan Qian Ji and other book fans are already feeling suffocated, but this is not physical pain; compared to the emotional pain, it is nothing!

Qi Fang comes to see him, accompanied by Wan Gui!

The original text reads:

Di Yun asks again, "Are you... are you well? Where are you staying?"

Qi Fang sobs, "I have nowhere to go, I'm temporarily staying at Master Wan's house..."

Di Yun shouts loudly, "This is a place that harms people, you must not stay here, quickly... quickly move out."

Qi Fang lowers her head and says softly, "I... I have no money. Master Wan... has been very kind to me, these past few days... he has been spending money to help you."

Countless readers, reading to this point, also shout in their hearts, "This is a place that harms people, you must not stay here!"

But they can only watch helplessly as Qi Fang falls into the tiger's mouth, with no way to stop it!

What is even more painful is that Qi Fang already regards him as a rapist, and a rapist who is planning to elope with another woman. Her lover is in trouble, and she misunderstands him, yet he is a good person who has never done anything wrong, and he must experience the cruelest fate in the world!

This ordeal lasts for three years!

In the spring of the fourth year, the most worrying thing for Di Yun and the readers happens!

One of the eight disciples of the Wan family, Shen Cheng, comes to tell him that Qi Fang is getting married to Wan Gui today!

The pain of his severed fingers, the injustice of being defamed, the suffering of his pectoral muscles being pierced, and the frequent beatings from the other prisoners in the same cell, none of these have made Di Yun fall, because he still harbors a sliver of hope in his heart.

He hopes that one day, his injustice will be cleared, and he can see Qi Fang again, and return to their past days.

But she is getting married today, to that despicable Wan Gui!

He is locked in chains, imprisoned, while outside, Qi Fang is in her wedding dress, marrying that despicable Wan Gui!

As time passes, thinking of the couple bowing to each other, drinking from the same cup, and the wedding night...

Di Yun can no longer bear it, and he chooses to commit suicide.

At the third watch of the night, he tears his clothes into strips, twists them into a rope, makes a noose, ties both ends to the horizontal bars of the iron bars, and puts his head through the noose.

He is not sad, nor does he feel angry. There is nothing left in the world worth clinging to, and this is the most straightforward way to escape from pain.

Helpless and in pain, with no way to change the situation, he can only choose suicide!

The subsequent plot begins to improve. The suicidal Di Yun is saved by Ding Dian, who has been beating him, because the suicide makes Ding Dian realize that he is not a spy. The two become sworn brothers.

Ding Dian's "Shen Zhao Jing" also appears, its power not only formidable but also terrifying. Any enemy struck by him will shrink into a ball and die.

Ding Dian wants to teach him the "Shen Zhao Jing," but Di Yun, having lost all hope, is too lazy to learn this divine skill. Even when Ding Dian forcefully recites the incantations to him, he does not listen.

...

Although he has read it dozens of times in his previous life, this rereading still inevitably stirs a silent emotion, making him feel somewhat depressed.

Even after two lifetimes and dozens of readings, Lin Mu still has such feelings.

It is easy to imagine the state of mind of the readers who are seeing this plot for the first time.

Putting the book on the small bookshelf, Lin Mu opens the "Wuxia Story" forum. As expected, after a day of reading, the forum is already in chaos!

"Page One, come in here, I promise not to beat you to death!"

"Page One, you sadistic author, you scumbag!"

"Damn, I can't take it anymore!"

"Get rid of those bastards at the Wan residence, Page One!"

...

One angry title after another rapidly refreshes.

In the magazine, those readers still had a kind and gentle demeanor, addressing Lin Mu with the respectful term "Shu Da."

But in this forum, Lin Mu is almost like a rat that everyone wants to beat, with countless people shouting for him to come out of his shell and vowing to beat him up!

Lin Mu is not angry; instead, he even has a slight smirk on his face. He casually clicks on a post.

The post title is "Sadistic Author Page One!"

"Page One, can you even write a book?

If you can't write a book, go read some famous works!

Who has ever seen a protagonist, in the second chapter, have his right hand fingers cut off!

Who has ever seen a protagonist, in the second chapter, have his pectoral muscles pierced!

Who has ever seen a protagonist, in the second chapter, have his lover taken and commit suicide out of grief!

Find me one! Just one!

As long as you find one, we will admit that you are not the most sadistic author in history!"
