I Can Do It Cleanly and Efficiently, Without Leaving a Single Trace

Nan Xunran raised an eyebrow slightly, secretly wondering to herself, "Is this the sickly second young master of the Shangguan Family?"

He replied calmly, "Young Master Shangguan."

Shangguan Xique looked directly at Nan Xunran without the slightest hesitation and said, "Divine Son Xunran, can you heal me?"

Nan Xunran nodded gently and said, "Okay."

Seeing this, Shangguan Xiehui gently tugged at Shangguan Xieyue's sleeve and winked at her.

Shangguan Xieyue looked unwilling, her beautiful eyes revealing dissatisfaction. She glanced at Shangguan Xique's frail appearance, bit her lip, and finally left with Shangguan Xiehui.

As they left, the hall fell into complete silence, so quiet that one could almost hear each other breathing.

Nan Xunran looked calmly at Shangguan Xique and slowly asked, "Why should I save you?"

Shangguan Xique coughed a few times to calm his breathing, and calmly said, "You will gain a loyal follower."

Nan Xunran nodded slightly, gesturing for him to continue.

Shangguan Xique a deep breath, trying to make his voice more steady and powerful. "I have nothing, but I have a brilliant mind."

For matters that are inconvenient for you to handle personally, I can take good care of them; for people you wish to eliminate, I can meticulously plan and execute them for you.

Nan Xunran tilted her head slightly and said casually, "Shangguan Xieyue can do these things too."

Shangguan Xique calmly pointed to his head, a confident smile on his face, "I can do it cleanly and efficiently, leaving no trace."

Nan Xunran softly, a laugh that left one wondering what he was thinking, before saying, "Alright."

Upon seeing his agreement, Shangguan Xique's tense body instantly relaxed, and his shoulders slumped down.

Nan Xunran extended her long, strong hand and firmly grasped his wrist. In an instant, a soft light emanated from Shangguan Xique's body.

A warm feeling flowed through his body, and his originally pale face gradually became rosy.

A Slave Mark faintly appeared on his forehead; the light flickered a few times before disappearing from his Sea of Consciousness.

Shangguan Xique quickly noticed the anomaly in his mind, but he showed no panic or resistance, only smiling helplessly, "It seems the master is still wary of me."

Nan Xunran nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.

Shangguan Xique tried to move his body, his eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

He jumped up and down excitedly; this feeling of being completely unrestrained and stretching out was something he had never experienced before.

Nan Xunran stepped out of the main hall, Shangguan Xiehui and the others were already waiting outside. As soon as they saw Nan Xunran come out, they quickly stepped forward.

Then, Shangguan Xiehui's gaze was drawn to Shangguan Xique, who strode out of the hall with great speed.

Shangguan Xiehui's eyes widened, and he asked eagerly, "Xiao Que, how are you feeling?"

Shangguan Xique's face broke into a bright smile, and he raised his hands high, shouting, "Feels great!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xiehui burst into laughter, his voice filled with satisfaction. "That's wonderful!"

He turned to face Nan Xunran, and solemnly cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you very much, Ran'er."

Nan Xunran waved her hand gently, her tone indifferent. "It's nothing."

Shangguan Xiling stood to the side, his brows furrowed, lost in thought.

She thought to herself: Amazing! My second brother's illness has been treated by countless famous doctors and taken countless miraculous medicines over the years without any effect, yet he has cured it so easily.

Then, she stepped forward with light steps, tilted her head slightly, her face expressionless, and coldly uttered two words: "Nice to meet you."

Nan Xunran, dressed in white, remained calm and simply nodded.

Shangguan Xiling stared intently at Nan Xunran with her narrow, beautiful eyes, her gaze full of inquiry. She thought to herself: I've heard that the Nan Clan's divine son is omnipotent and proficient in everything. I wonder how skilled he is in weapon crafting.

Thinking it over, she parted her lips slightly and asked directly, "Do you know how to forge weapons?"

Upon hearing Nan Xunran raised his eyebrows slightly and replied, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Shangguan Xiling's eyes. Was he truly omnipotent...?

Immediately, a fighting spirit ignited in her eyes, and she said without hesitation, "Then let's have a competition!"

Nan Xunran thought to himself, "I've long heard that the eldest daughter of the Shangguan Family is obsessed with weapon crafting, and it's true."

Nan Xunran frowned slightly and refused, "No need." He thought to himself that he didn't need to get too involved with her.

Shangguan Xiling was stunned by this straightforward rejection, and asked with a puzzled look, "Why?"

Shangguan Xieyue strode forward, lightly flicked her sleeve, and said, "A-Xun is unwilling, that's all. Why so many questions?"

Having been rejected, Shangguan Xiling, who was only slightly interested in Nan Xunran before, suddenly developed an intense interest after this incident.

She secretly vowed to find an opportunity to compete with Nan Xunran in weapon crafting.
