"A master!"
Ye Bufan's heart jolted as he warily stared at the old man slowly approaching him.
"Don't worry, young friend. If I had made a move, you'd already be a corpse."
Lin Chongwu smiled faintly.
Although that was true, it still made me really angry.
The corner of Ye Bufan's mouth twitched. He cupped his hands in salute and said,
"May I ask if you are Elder Lin Chongwu?"
"Oh? You've heard of me too, young friend?"
Lin Chongwu stroked his beard and chuckled. His gaze was deep, as though he had returned to his glorious years.
The reason he had not attacked was that he valued Ye Bufan's talent. At such a young age, Ye Bufan had already reached the early stage of Internal Strength, and Lin Chongwu wanted to recruit him into the Lin Family.
Otherwise, if anyone else had dared cause trouble at the Lin Family, the grass on their grave would already be ten feet tall.
"My master is Kongyunzi, the sect master of the Heavenly Mountain Sect."
Ye Bufan proudly lifted his chin, and his bearing grew stronger.
"What did you say?!"
With a flash, Lin Chongwu appeared before Ye Bufan before he could react. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was urgent.
Damn it.
That old pervert couldn't have tricked me into coming to the Lin Family to die, could he?
Feeling the suffocating pressure before him, Ye Bufan swallowed hard.
"My master... Kongyunzi?"
"Hahaha!"
Lin Chongwu laughed heartily and vigorously patted Ye Bufan's arm. The force of a Peak Inner Strength expert nearly shattered his bones.
"A hero emerges in his youth. No wonder you became an Internal Strength expert at such a young age—you're actually Master Kongyunzi's disciple."
Fuck, that scared the hell out of me!
I almost sold out that old pervert. Turns out we're on the same side.
Ye Bufan spoke softly. "Do you know my master, Senior?"
"More than know him—Master Kongyunzi is my lifesaver."
Lin Chongwu hurriedly invited Ye Bufan into the house and explained the whole story.
Back then, Lin Chongwu had been hunted down by his enemies and nearly lost his life.
By chance, he encountered Kongyunzi, who not only saved him but also gave him guidance.
It was because of that fortunate encounter that Lin Chongwu had achieved his current family fortune and status.
"Since you are Master Kongyunzi's disciple, young friend, you are an honored guest of the Lin Family. Just stay here without worry."
"Then thank you, Senior..."
Night had fallen.
Just moments ago, Li Shiyao had returned to the Jiang Family.
The silence between two women had turned into a battle among three.
Whenever one of them tried to get close to Jiang Cheng, the other two immediately united against her. In any case, none of them would let the others take advantage.
One monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water together, three monks... nobody drinks!
Jiang Cheng sat upright on the sofa, rubbing his hands anxiously against each other in his lap.
Three blazing gazes swept over him from head to toe.
"How about... we eat first?"
Unable to hold out any longer, Jiang Cheng clasped his left hand over his right and timidly offered a suggestion.
Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words,
the three women nodded. After all, there was no point in continuing this standoff.
Qin Yan was not particularly hungry. Throughout the meal, her beautiful eyes kept following Jiang Cheng.
The meal ended quickly and without incident. Seeing that nothing had gone wrong, Jiang Cheng finally let out a breath of relief.
"Jiang Cheng, I'm sleepy. Carry me back to my room so I can rest."
Qin Yan extended her pale, tender foot and spoke in a breathy voice,
"You wouldn't want my foot injury to get worse, would you?"
The moment she finished speaking,
Jiang Ruoxue and Li Shiyao both clenched their fists. This woman was truly hateful, yet there was nothing they could do about it.
After a full second of internal struggle, Jiang Cheng gave in.
He had already touched her foot anyway. Carrying her once was nothing—he would just have to suffer a little.
Under the unwilling gazes of the other two women,
Jiang Cheng wrapped an arm around Qin Yan's slender waist, lifted her soft, fragrant body into his arms, and headed upstairs.
"Ahem... don't move around."
Jiang Cheng wore a stern expression as he harshly rebuked Qin Yan for her improper behavior.
This woman was seriously restless, constantly pressing herself into his arms.
How was a hot-blooded young man like him supposed to endure that?
He could look but not eat—what a miserable ordeal!
"This position is uncomfortable. I want to switch to another one."
Qin Yan spoke softly by Jiang Cheng's ear, her eyes seductive.
Slap!
Stop acting so provocative.
Jiang Cheng smacked Qin Yan hard on the rear, the crisp sound echoing through the room.
I'm screwed. Totally screwed.
Only afterward did Jiang Cheng panic. Why had that felt so natural?
She won't call people over to wipe out the Jiang Family now, will she?
Dad, I'm sorry!
Your son has been unfilial. In the next life, you can be my son—I'll support you.
"You hit me?"
A blush spread across Qin Yan's lovely face.
If the young masters of the Capital saw this, their eyes would surely widen. Someone actually dared touch a tiger's backside.
"I hit you because you deserved it. If there's a next time, it won't be as simple as a slap."
Jiang Cheng's hand trembled slightly from guilt, but following the principle of saving face no matter what, he spoke firmly.
Qin Yan buried her head against Jiang Cheng's chest and murmured softly, her voice carrying a hint of excitement.
Holy shit, she's a freak!
Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded. Had he accidentally awakened Qin Yan's unusual inclinations?
After fumbling around and settling Qin Yan down,
he went downstairs as though nothing had happened, only to meet Jiang Ruoxue and Li Shiyao's pitiful gazes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Jiang Cheng (Senior), my foot hurts."
Jiang Cheng: "??"
The next day,
Jiang Cheng got up early after washing up.
The moment he came downstairs, he saw Jiang Ruoxue and Li Shiyao already dressed and eating breakfast.
"Jiang Cheng, you're up so early today?"
Jiang Ruoxue was slightly surprised. She had more or less figured out Jiang Cheng's routine over the past few days.
He usually did not wake up until close to ten, yet today he had risen so early.
Something's wrong!
Jiang Cheng inwardly cried out in alarm. He had forgotten that this girl was Police—her vigilance was far too strong.
Today was the day he planned to sneak away. There absolutely could not be any mistakes.
"Haha, I was just too tired last night, so I went to sleep a little earlier."
Seeing that Jiang Cheng did not seem to be lying, Jiang Ruoxue did not think much of it.
Meanwhile, Li Shiyao deftly served Jiang Cheng a bowl of millet porridge, looking exactly like a virtuous wife.
Jiang Ruoxue was displeased and, as if competing with her, served him a bowl as well.
Phew.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng relaxed and sat down.
He calculated that once Qin Yan and the others left later, he had to seize the chance and leave immediately.
Once he boarded the flight, he refused to believe those women could chase him overseas.
Wait, where's Qin Yan?!
Damn, I forgot about that ancestor.
A short while later, after much coaxing and persuading, Jiang Cheng finally managed to coax Qin Yan downstairs.
"Aren't you two in a hurry?"
Jiang Cheng reminded the two women as they continued sitting leisurely in their chairs.
If you don't leave, how am I supposed to leave?!
"It's fine. Being a little late won't matter."
Jiang Ruoxue leisurely drank her porridge.
Could she leave with peace of mind while that woman Qin Yan was still here?
Forget having him all to yourself!
