Female Lead? Come Massage This Young Master's Shoulders First!

Qin Jiuge, surrounded by Su Lie and the many Elders, swaggered into the Su Family and arrived at the council hall.

Originally, Qin Jiuge had intended to casually find a seat, but Su Lie and the other Elders repeatedly urged him, leaving him no choice but to take the Main Seat.

After taking his seat, the Su Family Elders respectfully bowed to Qin Jiuge one after another and introduced themselves.

Qin Jiuge sat casually, an indifferent smile on his face as he accepted the Elders' greetings.

Once the Elders had more or less finished their introductions, Su Lie, the Su Family head, spoke first. "Young Master Qin, although Xian'er does possess some talent, compared to you, she is like a firefly beside the bright moon. The gap is simply far too great."

As soon as Su Lie finished speaking, the Elders present all chimed in. "Exactly! Young Master Qin is still so young, yet he is already the Second Sequence of the Eternal Qin Family, with exceptional talent. Though Xian'er has a little talent herself, she truly falls far too short!"

"That's right. Who on the Sky Profound Continent does not know that Young Master Qin, at barely more than ten years of age, is already an expert in the Spirit Sea Realm? It truly puts old men like us to shame..."

"For Xian'er to receive Young Master Qin's favor is her good fortune! If, in time, she can reach even one-tenth of Young Master Qin's achievements, it will already be a blessing for our Su Family!"

Listening to the Elders' flattery, Qin Jiuge's expression remained calm, though his gaze unconsciously drifted toward the young girl in white standing in a corner of the council hall.

The young girl appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen. Her skin was fair, and her large black eyes sparkled with curiosity as she watched Qin Jiuge.

Qin Jiuge guessed that this young girl should be Su Xian'er, the daughter of Su Lie, the family head.

"Xian'er, hurry up and pour tea for Young Master Qin!"

Seeing that the young girl was still curiously observing Qin Jiuge, Su Hai, the Su Family Seventh Elder, was so angered that he blew his beard and glared as he shouted.

Only upon hearing Su Hai's call did Su Xian'er snap back to her senses.

Lifting the hem of her dress with both hands, she trotted over. Su Xian'er clumsily picked up the teapot and refilled Qin Jiuge's tea, showing none of the arrogance expected of the family head's daughter.

At the same time, Su Xian'er's eyes continued to sweep over Qin Jiuge before her.

Qin Jiuge's face was as fair as carved jade, and his features were remarkably handsome, giving him the air of an immortal banished to the mortal world.

On top of that, his status and background were astounding. Not only was the Qin Family one of the continent's foremost great clans, but his own standing within the Qin Family was also exceptionally prominent...

Compared to him... Lin Fan, who had been born a servant and only had a rudimentary grasp of alchemy, suddenly seemed somewhat... insignificant?

At that thought, Su Xian'er's pretty face could not help flushing red.

Lin Fan's quiet rise had greatly astonished many within the Su Family. Before today, some Elders had even suggested to Su Lie that Su Xian'er be betrothed to Lin Fan, so as to firmly bind him to the Su Family's chariot.

Only after seeing Qin Jiuge today did Su Xian'er understand just how vast the gap between Lin Fan and the continent's foremost figures truly was!

"Young Master Lin, this is my daughter, Xian'er. Though she reached the Qi Condensation Realm at sixteen and can be considered a favored child of heaven in East Departure City, compared to you, Young Master Qin... she is simply far too lacking!"

"If Young Master Qin wished to see Xian'er, why would you need to make the trip yourself... You only needed to send someone with a message, and this old man would have directly dispatched people to escort Xian'er to meet you!"

Seeing Qin Jiuge sizing up Su Xian'er, Su Lie's old face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, full of wrinkles. His tone was humble, like a bootlicker.

Seeing Su Lie, the family head, grovel before Qin Jiuge like this, and seeing his own Goddess, Su Xian'er, pour tea for another man right in front of him, Lin Fan could not help feeling enraged.

Ever since he had unexpectedly awakened his talent three months ago, he had firmly believed that he would one day stand atop the entire continent.

Over the past few months, the Su Family had treated him with great courtesy, which had pleased him immensely.

But now that Qin Jiuge had arrived, the Elders who had once flattered him were lining up to flatter Qin Jiuge instead, treating him completely like thin air.

Lin Fan turned to look at Qin Jiuge, secretly filled with indignation.

Isn't it just because he has a good background?

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never mock a poor young man!

Give me another twenty years, and I definitely won't lose to Qin Jiuge!

Amid the Elders' flattery, Qin Jiuge was also assessing everyone present.

Su Xian'er was indeed quite beautiful, and with a certain family background, she seemed destined to become part of that Child of Destiny's harem in the future.

As for Lin Fan, he looked utterly ordinary, and his temperament was restrained... He did fit the traits of a Child of Destiny quite well.

If that was the case, then he could test him a little.

With that thought, Qin Jiuge stretched, loosened his bones, and slowly said, "I traveled here by Flying Boat without bringing along any maids, so I am rather tired. Especially my shoulders..."

Su Lie was, after all, capable of becoming the family head. His shrewdness was comparable to an Old Fox's. The moment Qin Jiuge spoke, he understood what Qin Jiuge meant and immediately entered bootlicker mode.

"Xian'er, didn't you hear what Young Master Qin said?"

"Hurry and massage Young Master Qin's shoulders!"

As soon as those words were spoken, Lin Fan, seated nearby, flew into a rage, icy Killing intent spilling from his eyes.

In front of everyone, they wanted his Goddess to massage another man's shoulders?

This was simply an enormous humiliation to him!

However, Lin Fan's self-control was quite remarkable. The instant his Killing intent leaked out, he realized something was wrong.

The other party was the Second Sequence of the Eternal Qin Family!

Not only was his status noble, but his strength was also unfathomable, far beyond what Lin Fan could contend with at present.

The best course of action was to lie low and wait for an opportunity, then settle this debt when the chance came in the future!

With that thought, Lin Fan hurriedly withdrew his Killing intent and pretended that nothing had happened, his eyes watching Su Xian'er expectantly.

In Lin Fan's eyes, Su Xian'er had her own pride. How could someone as dazzling as her possibly massage a man's shoulders like a maid?

Upon hearing Su Lie's order, Su Xian'er also felt conflicted.

She was a cultivation genius of East Departure City, and with her outstanding beauty... she had countless admirers. Yet no one had ever been so presumptuous with her before. Thinking of this, she could not help feeling somewhat angry.

But upon further thought, the other party was Qin Jiuge of the Eternal Qin Family. Whether in talent or background, he completely crushed her. Even in the beauty she took the most pride in, Qin Jiuge was not inferior in the slightest. He could be called the most handsome man she had ever seen...

Moreover, considering Qin Jiuge's family background, if she angered him, the entire Su Family likely would not have an easy time of it!

Massaging the shoulders of such a favored child of heaven is nothing much... It does not count as humiliating myself...

With that thought, Su Xian'er clenched her silver teeth, took light lotus steps, and came behind Qin Jiuge. Her jade-like hands slowly settled onto Qin Jiuge's shoulders...
