Morning After the "Kiss of Death"
The sun rose over Nuoding Academy… but Tang San didn't.
Under his blanket, he groaned. Dorm 7 was unusually quiet. Everyone kept side-eyeing him but didn't speak.
"I'm not a pervert... I just—"
"Why did I kiss him? What happened to my body? My soul?!"
Lin Feng was brushing his teeth, watching the broken genius mumble into his pillow.
"System, that was gold."

L Breakfast: Side Eyes and Silence
At the cafeteria, Tang San tried to sit down… only for people to stand up and leave.
Xiao Wu gave him a weird look.
"So… you and Xiao Chenyu?"
"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!"
Lin Feng tried not to laugh, but a carrot bun flew and hit Tang San in the face.
"Pervert alert! Stay back!"

Lin Feng's Evil Genius Plan
In his dorm, Lin Feng stared at the wall with intense thought.
"How do you erase a scandal this strong?"
He summoned the System Store and bought:
Disguise Talisman x1 (300 pts)
Temporary Memory Fog (Group Use) (700 pts)
Script Rewrite Scroll (Locked, requires mission complete)
Current Points: 5300 - 1000 = 4300

Phase 1: Memory Manipulation
After class, Lin Feng casually tossed the Memory Fog Mist near the training field while pretending to stretch.
A mist rolled over the area. Within minutes...
Student A: "Huh? What happened during that fight again?"
Student B: "Didn't Tang San kick him into a wall?"
Student C: "Yeah, he beat Xiao Chenyu so bad, Chenyu transferred dorms!"
Rumor Status: Rewritten
Pervert Rumor: Cleared

Phase 2: Reputation Restoration
That evening, Lin Feng invited Tang San out to "practice."
But secretly, he hired two third-year bullies from another dorm with 5 soul coins each:
"Get beat up by Tang San in front of everyone. That's it. Act scared. Cry if you can."
At the field—
Bully 1: "Tang San! You kissed Xiao Chenyu! Disgusting!"
Tang San's face turned red, fists clenched.
Lin Feng whispered: "This is your moment."
Tang San exploded with a powerful Blue Silver Bamboo combo, smashing both bullies into the ground in front of 20 students.
Student: "He's so strong..."
"Maybe that kiss thing was a lie?"
"He's not a pervert... he's a warrior."
Mission Progress: 70%

Meanwhile… Master Notices
In his study, Master stared at a list of martial soul developments.
"Tang San's behavior shifted… and Lin Feng seems to always be near these anomalies."
He picked up his notebook. Scribbled a new theory:
"Could Tang San be... spiritually manipulated?"
"Or worse... is Lin Feng some kind of fate-defying variable?"
He pushed up his glasses, eyes serious.
Back at Dorm 7
As they returned, Xiao Wu said to Tang San's .
"You really surprised me today. You were like… kinda cool."
Tang San: 😳
Lin Feng was behind them, flipping a system coin.
"Dignity restored. Mission almost complete."
