Xu Sanshi's Method

As Le Zhengyue spoke, his gaze shifted toward Jiang Nannan, though her eyes remained filled with confusion—or perhaps a sense of distrust. She had never encountered a situation like this before.

Meeting his gaze, Le Zhengyue's expression remained calm.

He did not rush to act on his own agenda, choosing instead to wait in silence.

He did not continue to boast about his extraordinary status; aside from briefly introducing the two guards accompanying him, he politely asked Jiang Nannan if he might be allowed to come inside and sit for a while.

The young man's words were very courteous.

Coupled with the sight of the two thugs still hanging at the doorway, Jiang Nannan felt an innate, slight sense of goodwill toward Le Zhengyue, so after a moment of silence, she stepped aside.

Seeing this cramped and somewhat dilapidated home, Le Zhengyue did not mind in the slightest. He sat calmly on a crate-like chair and gestured toward the back.

The guard acknowledged him silently and immediately went out to purchase a sumptuous meal.

Watching the dishes being laid out across the table, a rare flicker of longing appeared in Jiang Nannan's eyes.

Although she possessed memories, she was not a reincarnator; she merely held the knowledge, so while she had seen many luxurious and even incredible things, she was still only a child at heart and remained somewhat ignorant of such luxuries. Seeing the variety of delicacies spread before her, she felt a natural craving.

Observing the longing in the young girl's eyes, Le Zhengyue's expression remained indifferent. "Eat, Miss Jiang Nannan. I came here specifically to find you."

"Your mother is inside, isn't she? Ask her to come and eat with us."

Le Zhengyue's voice was gentle and very polite.

Jiang Nannan looked at him; in every aspect, he was completely different from Xu Sanshi.

He lacked Xu Sanshi's crudeness, nor did he possess Xu Sanshi's indifference or playboy nature.

The young man's gaze remained consistently gentle, which made Jiang Nannan feel quite favorable toward him.

In truth, Xu Sanshi was not bad in many respects; he was far from being a poor choice.

Aside from his background, his personal character and views on romance were actually much more upright than Le Zhengyue's.

However, women inherently lack interest in those who fawn over them; they don't value them much because they know the man is already devoted to them.

In such a situation, when a girl is being pursued by a "simp," the moment a man appears who is different—someone who doesn't fawn over her—the girl will naturally develop a certain level of favor toward him. Le Zhengyue was playing exactly that role.

Hearing Le Zhengyue's words, a trace of awkwardness crossed Jiang Nannan's eyes, but she still turned to call her mother, and the three of them sat at the table to eat.

Mother Jiang's eyes held a look of confusion. She had never seen this handsome young man before, but after glancing at her daughter, she remained silent.

As the three of them ate in peace, over at the Mysterious Underworld Sect...

The massive mansion sat in silence.

Xu Sanshi sat on a luxurious chair, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

"Steward, have you still not found Jiang Nannan?"

"She is right here in our Tianxuan City; she shouldn't be that hard to find."

Xu Sanshi's tone carried an undisguised irritability, while the old steward beside him reached up to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his eyes filled with doubt and hesitation.

He did not know who Jiang Nannan was, but he had already investigated this so-called Jiang Nannan.

After all, with their influence, how could they not think to use the City Lord's Mansion to track someone down?

However, ever since they found her, Xu Sanshi's father had been preventing his son from seeking her out.

None of them truly understood what kind of person this girl was, but ever since Xu Sanshi had awakened, he had been demanding that they focus all their energy on finding Jiang Nannan.

This naturally aroused the curiosity—or perhaps the suspicion—of Xu Sanshi's father.

Therefore, even though they knew her whereabouts, they did not approach her, choosing instead to secretly send people to monitor and observe this woman named Jiang Nannan.

Under these circumstances, the steward could only pretend he hadn't found her. "Reporting to the Young Master, this girl named Jiang Nannan truly hasn't been located yet. We have already begun a city-wide search; we should be able to find her in a few days at most."

The old steward's face was filled with helplessness. Xu Sanshi looked at the man who had taken care of him for so long and waved his hand. "Fine, you go out first. Tell them to bring my meal, and then send Xiao Cui over."

Xu Sanshi paused for a moment when he mentioned Xiao Cui, his eyes holding a strange glint.

He was born a playboy, or perhaps it was the nature of the Mysterious Underworld Turtle—even more lecherous than a dragon. How could he possibly have only one woman in his life?

Before, because Jiang Nannan was his first woman and she was exceptionally beautiful, he had persisted in pestering her.

But after they were together, or rather, after Huo Yuhao left, he had not been faithful to Jiang Nannan; he had simply kept a few concubines in secret without her discovering them.

Now that he had returned, with his mature soul, he had become quite transparent regarding his dealings with women.

Hearing Xu Sanshi's words, the old steward's expression grew complex.

Ever since the Young Master woke up half a month ago, he had become indiscriminate in his appetites.

Originally, they had required him to find a virgin, as he needed to break a maiden's seal to awaken his martial soul and fuse his bloodline.

But now, their Young Master was simultaneously searching for this girl named Jiang Nannan while already having engaged in affairs with many of the bed-warming maids they kept.

Yet, after a few encounters, the Young Master would order him to dismiss them, even forcing them to leave Tianxuan City.

The steward could not understand this at all; his mind simply couldn't keep up with the logic.

Xu Sanshi, however, truly did not care about this.

As the dishes were continuously brought to the table, a beautiful woman walked over.

She was a young girl, and the moment she approached, she plopped herself right into Xu Sanshi's lap. Xu Sanshi did not stand on ceremony either, eyeing the beauty before him and immediately beginning to grope her.

This scene unfolded quite naturally; he ate his meal while teasing the beauty in his arms.

What he did not know was that a video recorder sat silently before him, capturing every detail of his philandering.

Only when the entire affair had concluded did the captain of the Angel Guard Squad stand there in silence.

Although he did not know what his young master intended, he still recorded the entire sequence.

Thinking of how the other party's behavior matched his young master's predictions exactly, the expression of this Angel Guard Squad captain carried a hint of peculiarity, though as someone who had received professional training, he naturally did not dwell on such things.

As he leaped down from the roof, the guards who had been hidden at the entrance of the Xu Family quickly locked all the doors of the Xu Family residence, then formed a perimeter on the outside.

Following the departure of the guard captain, over ten Class 9 soul cannon shells came crashing down from the sky.

Each one of these soul cannon shells was capable of destroying this city; concentrated on the Xu Family, the terrifying lethality they unleashed was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
