Li Zhengxing's enthusiastic demeanor was something Su Yuan hadn't anticipated.

He couldn't help but wonder, what was this villainous young master up to? Was this how villains acted?

Shouldn't villains be reflecting on their actions?

As if noticing Su Yuan's strange expression, Li Zhengxing finally released Su Yuan's hand, which he had been gripping tightly, and said with a relaxed expression:

"I was afraid Chen Nuoyi would actually follow Old Master Chen's arrangement and apply to the Star River Dao Sect. Since she has a boyfriend, I'm completely relieved."

"Cough, cough."

Su Yuan reminded him:

"Chen Nuoyi and I are just classmates and friends. Don't misunderstand."

"Oh, really? My apologies then."

Li Zhengxing feigned realization, but after a serious look at the two standing close together, he still said:

"Even if there's really nothing between you two, I'm afraid Old Master Chen will misunderstand."

Su Yuan: "You're actually right about that."

Chen Nuoyi's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. Looking at Li Zhengxing, whose actions were strange from the moment he appeared, she asked coldly:

"May I ask why Fellow Daoist Li has come here?"

Although Chen Nuoyi hadn't wanted to deal with this eldest young master of the Li family, she keenly felt that she seemed to have been looked down upon by him.

It was quite annoying. Customer service representatives have tempers too, you know!

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengxing's smile faded, and his expression became a bit more serious. He said solemnly:

"Miss Chen, I suspect you are very unhappy with the intention of the Chen and Li Families' arranged marriage, aren't you?"

Chen Nuoyi nodded.

Li Zhengxing sighed:

"I found out about this news a few days before you did. I specifically investigated and discovered that you were very close to a boy from an ordinary family. I guessed that a situation similar to the Butterfly Lovers would occur."

"Of course, your relationship isn't quite what I imagined, but it's close enough."

"You think I'm like Ma Wencai from the story, but actually... I also have my own Butterfly Lovers, but they were simply not recognized by my family."

"So, in my opinion, you are the Ma Wencai."

Hearing this, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi finally understood.

"So you fell in love with a girl from an ordinary family behind your family's back?"

Su Yuan asked curiously.

The script had suddenly turned into a domineering CEO romance.

Li Zhengxing immediately retorted: "She's different from other girls! You don't understand her!"

Su Yuan: "..."

Good heavens, the scent is even stronger now!

"In short, I'm here to state my position. I believe we can cooperate and work together to destroy the family's arranged marriage plan."

Li Zhengxing said earnestly.

"Okay!" Chen Nuoyi nodded without hesitation. "Neither Su Yuan nor I will apply to the Star River Dao Sect. You can rest assured about that."

"With those words from the two of you, I am relieved."

Li Zhengxing let out a long sigh of relief, then reminded them:

"However, this alone is not enough. You two still need to improve your strength as much as possible and gain more say after the college entrance examination to avoid being influenced by the influence of the Chen and Li Families. "

"It would be best if you two could surpass my college entrance examination results."

Chen Nuoyi's beautiful eyes flashed with a determined look:

"That goes without saying."

Su Yuan didn't speak, but he muttered to himself.

According to the script for this villainous young master, shouldn't I, the one with the cheat, be able to surpass him at the climax of the plot?

Seeing their confident expressions, the young master's sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly. He crossed his arms and said with a smile:

"Since you two are so confident, let me tell you my specific scores. That way, you can make a more precise plan to surpass me."

He said calmly:

"I attend Shining Star High School, ranked first in Taihua City."

"In last month's monthly exam, my General Knowledge score was 150, my Cultivation score was 150, my Physical Education score was 150, my Martial Arts score was 150, my Spiritual Text score was 75, and my Dao Heart score was 72, for a total score of 747 across all subjects."

"My ranking... is first in my grade at Shining Star High School."

"Given that my high school is the strongest in Taihua City, I am also the first in the entire city, making me the de facto strongest high school student in Taihua."

Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi: "..."

Big shot, no, a huge shot!

The two who had been so confident earlier, wanting to defeat the villainous young master, were now huddled together, trembling.

Weak, pathetic, helpless, and especially gluttonous.

Li Zhengxing smiled with a hint of pride. "Don't feel too much pressure, the two of you. I got full marks in five out of six subjects, it's just because I'm well-rounded."

"In reality, there are many geniuses who have achieved even more than me in a single subject, but the highest possible score is only 150."

"Of course, although I haven't reached the extreme in any single path, I still have a Spiritual Root, I still have Meridians, and I still have a special constitution."

"Even if I'm not a match for those once-in-a-century Prodigies in a specific subject, I won't be too far behind. If it's about testing comprehensive ability, then my position as first in the city is well-deserved."

Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi: "..."

Read as humility, but written as showing off, right?!

Fine, fine, you're big enough, just go back quickly!

Su Yuan quickly shooed him away. Being around someone so talented and hardworking made him, who had a cheat, feel like a thorn in his side.

"Your name is Su Yuan, right? From now on, we're Fellow Daoists on the same path. If you encounter any trouble, don't try to bear it alone. Just call me directly."

After leaving his contact information for Su Yuan, Li Zhengxing turned to leave.

Watching the other's retreating back, Su Yuan's heart stirred again.

Wait! Li Zhengxing is this amazing, how am I supposed to defeat this tragic Prodigy? Doesn't this mean the System's Task won't be completed for months, or even years?

I don't want that to happen!

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Seeing that Li Zhengxing was about to board his Flying Boat, Su Yuan quickly called out to him.

"Is there anything else?"

Li Zhengxing turned back curiously.

Su Yuan was silent. After holding it in for a full half-minute, he finally raised his hand.

"How about a game of rock-paper-scissors?"

Li Zhengxing: "...Okay?"

Ten seconds later, Li Zhengxing's scissors met Su Yuan's fist.

"I lost."

Li Zhengxing spread his hands, completely unable to understand Su Yuan's sudden request.

"Alright, alright, nothing else. Fellow Daoist Li, you may go. Safe travels."

After sending off the completely bewildered Li Zhengxing, Su Yuan turned to look at the System panel before him.

[Task published for only ten minutes and you've already completed it? Hah, you guy! As expected of a future Devil Dao Magnate, you hold no grudges across pages!]

System, that's enough! You're a System, not a meme machine, okay?

Su Yuan could only complain weakly.

[Task Progress: Defeat Righteous Path Prodigy (1/1)] [Task: Tragic Prodigy (Completed)] [Task Reward: Fate Change * 1 (Issued)] [Fate Change: After use, can activate a Fate Change Devilish Art with no restrictions, and within the text displayed by the target's fate for that day, make a certain degree of alteration.]

Upon seeing the description of this task reward, Su Yuan's eyes widened!
