Revenge is Never too late.

In a certain small villa,

Qi Yuan rang the doorbell and faced the camera.

The owner of the villa was lying on the sofa nursing his internal injuries. Hearing the doorbell, he crawled up to take a look at the display screen.

Seeing this, he was so frightened that he jumped up directly, as if a vengeful spirit had come to take his life.

"What should I do? Has the Qi Family found us?"

The woman leaning against the window walked over immediately and pressed the villa owner's shoulder.

"Don't panic first. He is your classmate. Maybe the teacher asked him to visit you on behalf of the whole class."

The old man, happily watching the little girl sitting on the floor playing with a teddy bear, looked up and stroked his beard slowly. "As long as our background is not discovered, what else can happen if we are found out?"

"You make it sound so simple."

The villa owner messed up his hair and mumbled, "What if he settles accounts with me? I've blamed him twice."

"Three times."

The old man corrected: "Yunyun blamed him once too."

I'm so sad already, and you're rubbing salt in the wound?

The villa owner was at a loss for words.

"Can we pretend we're not home?"

"You can run from the monk but you can't run from the temple. What if he's not here to settle accounts with you? If you act so guilty, won't it backfire and make him suspicious?"

The woman covered her face, you guys are so unreliable...

"You two go upstairs and hide first, let's see how it goes."

As the old man led the little girl upstairs,

the woman's figure gradually became illusory, surrounded by green glow, transforming into strands of tattoos hanging on the villa owner's body.

...

Qi Yuan waited outside for a while, but the door remained closed for a long time.

If it wasn't against morals and laws to trespass on private property, he would have just gone in directly.

Open the door! I know you're home!

After much dragging of feet, the door finally opened a crack, revealing Gao Changze's face from inside.

"Qi Yuan, did you need something?"

Gao Changze had an unnatural smile on his face, trying his best to look nonchalant.

Of course it was very likely that Qi Yuan knew of his inner thoughts, so he was paranoid and felt very unnatural no matter how Gao Changze acted.

"Won't you let me in to sit for a bit?"

Gao Changze's body firmly blocked the crack in the door, clearly vigilant against him.

Qi Yuan "thoughtfully" requested a private chat.

After all, he wouldn't want his subordinate's alter ego to be exposed, or how could he get free labor out of the other party?

Gao Changze, you wouldn't want others to know...

Qi Yuan took the initiative to interrupt his own train of thought. If he thought further, it would turn into a horror story.

Hearing Qi Yuan's words, Gao Changze smiled awkwardly and made way.

"Please come in."

After Qi Yuan sat down on the sofa, Gao Changze picked up the laptop on the sofa and put it aside, sitting down as well.

"Did the teacher ask you to visit me? My injuries are almost healed, I'll be able to go back to class in a few days."

Of course Gao Changze wouldn't tell the teacher he had internal injuries. He had applied for a fake medical certificate, claiming he was injured by a monster at the outdoor training ground and needed to recuperate.

Qi Yuan leisurely took out a file bag and handed it to Gao Changze.

Gao Changze took the file bag with a confused look on his face and opened it to check.

As long as he's not here to settle scores, things should be fine...

This thought only flashed briefly before being replaced by a new one.

He must be here to settle scores!

The girl in the photo looked so familiar. She was his middle school classmate, Xu Yingxia.

This girl was also the reason he had framed Qi Yuan.

He had happened to run into her being forcibly taken away by a few young masters, so he had casually saved her.

But he couldn't keep watching over Xu Yingxia after saving her once or twice.

Let alone the inconvenience of revealing his identity while using an alter ego at the time, even without an alter ego he wouldn't be able to deter those young masters.

After all, ever since his stepmother married his father, his status as Gao Family eldest young master had been in name only.

I thought this would keep her safe...

Having guessed what happened, Gao Changze asked coldly, "Who did it?"

He didn't have much of a relationship with Xu Yingxia, but as a human, it was hard not to feel angry at the dark side of things.

Qi Yuan answered decisively, "I don't know, this is your job."

"My job?"

Gao Changze was full of question marks. Where did this concern him?!

At this moment, Gao Changze had a bad premonition. His instincts told him that Qi Yuan was going to say some things he'd find hard to accept.

He saw Qi Yuan reveal an odd smile, his tone rising, "You see yourself as the Qi Family's subordinate, and I agreed. Now I'm giving you work."

I knew he found out!

But...

Gao Changze looked at him in shock, wondering if something was wrong with his brain.

Bro, I was just shifting blame...

How could the dignified Gao Family eldest young master agree to be your subordinate?

What are you thinking?!

Gao Changze was about to firmly reject Qi Yuan...

Qi Yuan only made two gestures. He pointed upstairs, then pointed at Gao Changze's body.

Gao Changze instantly caved.

Of course I'll do it!

Faced with Qi Yuan's threatening gaze, Gao Changze swiftly kneeled, it was his brain that was broken.

"Alright, please leave it to me!"

Seeing that Gao Changze sensibly accepted the job and ran upstairs to discuss with his companions,

Qi Yuan nodded satisfactorily and took out his phone to browse the Awakening Ability discussion group.

The discussion group contained all kinds of weird things, some even contradicting each other, but they all sounded knowledgeable.

【xdm, this is the battle formation I improved based on the Awakening Formation. I'll let you know if it works once I try sneaking past the blockade into the Fusion Realm.】

【Forget the formation, anything else?】

【I heard that a new awakened item called the Floating Garden recently appeared abroad. It moves space randomly to locations around the world. If you get the chance to enter it, not only can you awaken your ability, you may even gain control of this item.】

【With my luck, I'd probably fail to awaken even if I tried. The Floating Garden is impossible.】

【Our country seems to have one too, it's a temple. The specific method to enter is...】

To Qi Yuan, most of them seemed more like drawing lots, with a ritualistic veneer but useless in reality.

Just as he was clicking his tongue in wonder, hurried footsteps sounded from the stairs.

Soon, a little girl ran over to him. She hugged a teddy bear in one arm, and accused Qi Yuan in a childish voice.

"Big bully, it's you!"

Qi Yuan glanced at her and straightened up, waving her over.

The little girl trotted over eagerly, but before she could reveal a smug smile, she cried out in pain.

She rubbed her forehead with both hands, looking at Qi Yuan with tearful eyes.

Qi Yuan retracted the hand he used to flick her forehead.

"Your ulterior motives are too obvious. If you try to play tricks again, I'll forbid you from snacks today."

"Sis Qingran, he's bullying me again!"

The little girl's eyes darted around schemingly.

If you don't act cute, someone else will.

Yin Qingran likewise walked down the stairs, eyeing Qi Yuan warily as she spoke coldly.

"She's just a child."

"A child who takes the initiative to frame others? When the victim comes knocking, instead of apologizing, she shouts 'stop thief' first."

Although Yin Qingran and the little girl were hostile towards him, Qi Yuan was still in a good mood.

It was hard to get angry at this scapegoat who would work for him for free.

Yin Qingran refused to back down. She maintained her icy tone, "You're no better. The difficulty of this task is not low."

Qi Yuan raised his brows. Of course he knew the difficulty was high, otherwise he would have just asked Lu Cheng for help.

"It's your own fault for delivering yourselves to my door."

After speaking, he looked down at the little lolita, "It was you who told them the Qi Family has considerable influence, right?"

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Yin Qingran was slightly taken aback, and looked towards the little girl as clues rapidly connected in her mind.

He deduced that we would borrow his name to hide our identities after just one meeting.

We have no one to blame but ourselves for losing to him.

The little Lolita opened her black and white distinct big eyes and still intended to pretend to be innocent, but was startled by the aura of Yin Qingran all over her body.

The little Lolita finally realized...

Qi Yuan didn't intend to blame her, but shifted the blame to her.

"Humph! Bad brother!"

Haha, don't be shy.

Who didn't hear you shout uncle in your heart?

As Qi Yuan thought about it, he smiled watching the little Lolita get scolded.
