"What else? Which Elder Wu did you think it was?" Lin Tiannan asked in return.
Hearing this, Li Jianheng felt entirely unwell. His voice began to tremble slightly, "Alright, Elder Lin, I know how to handle it."
Shortly after hanging up the phone, Li Jianheng's heart remained difficult to calm down.
He really couldn't imagine why a young man could possess such power.
Just as he was about to call his son Li Jiaquan, he saw another unfamiliar number calling in.
When he saw that the caller ID showed it was from Kyoto, Li Jianheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and all sorts of bad feelings surged into his mind.
"Hello, this is Li Jianheng."
He swallowed hard, his voice slightly trembling, and placed the phone by his ear.
"It's me."
A somewhat deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing this voice, Li Jianheng couldn't sit still anymore.
His brain felt like it had just exploded with a boom. "El... Elder Wu... do you have any instructions..."
Before he could finish, Elder Wu's voice came through the phone again, "Your son offended someone he shouldn't have. That person is my senior. You'd better resolve this quickly, so I don't have to make a personal trip to Dan Province."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Jianheng was completely dumbfounded.
Senior?
The weight of this word coming from Lin Tiannan's mouth compared to Elder Wu's mouth was completely different.
But how could this be possible?
Who was Elder Wu?
The Sovereign of Weixing!
As the top official of Dan Province, Li Jianheng naturally knew that this entity was no ordinary person, but a cultivator, the strongest human in this world.
But now, Elder Wu actually called that Young Master Qin his senior!
If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Li Jianheng wouldn't have believed this was true even if he were beaten to death.
"I, I... Elder Wu... I understand... I will handle it immediately!"
Elder Wu said, "After you've handled it, give me a call. Also, write a report and send it to me before tomorrow."
With Weixing's technology, even if Elder Wu rushed over from Kyoto, it would take him at most half an hour to arrive.
But recently, he had been incredibly busy. If it weren't for that, he would have immediately set off to handle it personally the moment he received Lin Tiannan's call.
It was also because Qin Ning had specifically instructed him to collect rough stones and jade artifacts from all over the country. For the past few days, Elder Wu had been personally attending to this matter, constantly busy with it.
Soon, after hanging up the phone, Li Jianheng's hands were trembling.
He shakily held his phone, searched for his son Li Jiaquan's number, and dialed it directly.
"Dad, how is it..."
At this moment, Li Jiaquan was sitting on the deck with a group of young masters, wiping the bruises on his face with a cotton swab. Upon answering the phone, he couldn't wait to ask.
"Are you still on the ship?"
Li Jianheng's voice came from the phone, and because it was on speaker, everyone heard it.
"Yes, the ship has already set sail. Could I jump off and swim back?" Li Jiaquan was puzzled.
"Good that you are."
Li Jianheng took a deep breath and continued, "Now, immediately, right this second, go kneel down and apologize to Young Master Qin. If you don't get his forgiveness today, don't come back. Jump into the sea and feed the sharks yourself, and just pretend I never had you as a son."
Hearing this, Li Jiaquan was completely stunned. "Dad, what are you saying? Me? Go apologize?"
"Do you think your old man is joking with you?"
Li Jianheng said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and go, did you hear me?! Otherwise, not only will I not be able to save you, but your old man will also be stripped of several layers of skin!"
"Dad, what exactly is going on?" Li Jiaquan frowned deeply, seemingly realizing something.
Could it be that Young Master Qin's background was not simple?
Was he some young master from Kyoto?
But even so, as the top official of Dan Province, there was no need for his father Li Jianheng to be this terrified, right?
"The Sovereign just called me personally and strictly warned me that Young Master Qin is his senior. Do you understand the meaning of this sentence?"
"The Sovereign? Senior?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the deck was shocked.
They never could have imagined that this matter had actually alarmed the Sovereign!
Furthermore, the Sovereign had personally called Li Jianheng and warned him that Young Master Qin was his senior?
How could this be possible?
A young man was actually the Sovereign's senior?
Was he dreaming?
Or did he hear it wrong?
"Cut the crap! Why aren't you going right now?!" Li Jianheng's furious roar came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes... I, I... I'll go right now!"
Li Jiaquan finally realized the severity of the situation and didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest.
Soon, after hanging up the phone, he hurriedly led the crowd on the deck, stumbling and crawling, as they rushed toward the private room below.
Arriving at the door of the private room, everyone felt their legs go weak, lacking even the courage to knock on the door.
At this moment, He Mingyun happened to walk out of the private room.
"Young Master Li, why are you here?"
He Mingyun was taken aback. Looking at their bruised and swollen faces, he spoke again, "There is a medical kit on the ship. Did you guys go get it?"
"We used it."
Li Jiaquan nodded, and then hurriedly asked, "Young Master He, um... has Young Master Qin's anger subsided by now? If I go in now, will I be interrupting?"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, He Mingyun was momentarily stunned. He had been staying in the private room just now and was completely unaware of Li Jianheng's phone call on the deck.
From He Mingyun's perspective, the current Li Jiaquan should be like an enraged tiger.
But why was his attitude right now like that of a frightened kitten?
And Young Master Qin?
What did this mean?
Why was the dignified son of the top official of Dan Province addressing him like that too?
Although he was extremely puzzled in his heart, He Mingyun only needed to think for a moment to roughly understand what had happened.
This must definitely be related to the phone call Lin Yuting made just now!
Thinking of this, he immediately felt astonished.
It wasn't hard to guess that the background of Qin Ning and his group was probably much more terrifying than he had imagined.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for Li Jiaquan to be scared to such a degree.
No wonder his cousin was sucking up to them so much, to the point where he hadn't even paid attention to Li Jiaquan for the two days he'd been in Lingyang City. It turned out he had latched onto a true powerhouse?
Thinking like this, He Mingyun said, "You guys wait, I'll go in and ask."
After speaking, he turned around and returned to the private room.
Coming before Qin Ning, the look in He Mingyun's eyes when looking at him was already vastly different from before, now holding a sense of dread and respect. He spoke, "Young Master Qin... Li Jiaquan and the others are outside the door. They probably want to come over and apologize to you."
"Then let them in," Qin Ning said calmly.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What?
