For safety's sake, Ye Wangchuan decided to ask a passerby first.
He looked around and spotted a scholar who seemed intelligent.
"Do you know who Tang San is?" Ye Wangchuan asked.
"Y-Ye... Ye Shao?!"
The scholar trembled at the sight of Ye Wangchuan approaching.
Although rumors said that Ye Wangchuan was a carefree rich kid who did nothing but wander around, the only time he got into a fight was when he was framed.
Still, being close to such a wealthy young master was undeniably intimidating.
"Spit it out," Ye Wangchuan said impatiently, slapping a few silver coins into the scholar's hand.
"At your service," the scholar said, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the money. He began to explain.
"Tang San is the young master of the Tang family. But his character... tsk tsk, let's just say he's morally bankrupt."
"And because Tang San constantly boasts about being betrayed three times, he has a nickname."
Ye Wangchuan: "Three...?"
The scholar: "Uh, no. It's Tang Liuzi."
[Villain Emotional Value +500]
If the scholar had a system, he would have seen this notification.
Ye Wangchuan suppressed the emotions bubbling inside him and continued to inquire.
But now it seemed Tang San was someone he didn't need to worry about.
In a way, Tang San was also a so-called "chosen one."
...
...
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing Option Two.]
[Option Two]: Reached Rank 66 or above on the Heaven Rank.
Reward: 5 Low-grade Cultivation Pills + 2 Low-grade Foundation Building Pills.
[Rewards have been deposited into the system space.]
Meanwhile.
Li Luo looked at the rewards she had received and felt a sense of satisfaction.
Not bad, not bad.
Although she didn't complete Option Three, which had better rewards, at least she didn't end up doing Option One.
As for Villain Emotional Value, hehe! With the Li family backing her, she had nothing to fear!
She didn't know how powerful the Li family was, but it couldn't be too bad.
All she had to do was find the right moment to call Ye Wangchuan a "small fry," and it would be a piece of cake!
Just as Li Luo was thinking this, she saw Ye Wangchuan gathering information.
Heh, Villain Emotional Value, here it comes!
"Oh, isn't this Ye Shao? Just now on the Heaven Rank, you—"
Before she could finish.
Ye Wangchuan quickly reached out and clamped his hand over Li Luo's mouth, silencing her completely.
"Alright, you can go now," Ye Wangchuan said to the scholar.
Such scholars loved gossip the most, so Ye Wangchuan covered Li Luo's mouth to prevent her from deliberately taunting him in front of the scholar.
After all, if Li Luo started taunting, it would definitely be filled with insults.
"Oh, okay, okay," the scholar said, though he had no idea what was going on, he nodded and left.
After the scholar was gone.
Li Luo's forehead twitched with anger.
Damn it, how long does this villain plan to cover my mouth?!
Li Luo angrily opened her mouth and bit down on the hand in front of her.

[Current remaining: 300 points.]
"Are you a dog? Biting people now," Ye Wangchuan said, exasperated, pinching Li Luo's cheek to free his hand.
He looked at his hand.
"You drew blood. You owe me."
Ye Wangchuan showed his hand to Li Luo.
Li Luo, her face pinched, mumbled angrily, "Li huogai!" (You deserved it!)
"Such an unreasonable woman," Ye Wangchuan sighed, shaking his head.
Then he suddenly thought of something and took out the Cultivation Pill Li Luo had given him earlier.
Ye Wangchuan picked one, crushed it, and shoved it into Li Luo's mouth.
"Mmm..."
Li Luo trembled all over.
Not for any other reason.
As soon as the Cultivation Pill entered her mouth, a bitter taste, like concentrated herbal medicine, surged out, assaulting her taste buds.
She immediately began to struggle and twist.
"Behave and swallow the pill," Ye Wangchuan said, pinning Li Luo against the wall, lifting her head back, and covering her mouth to prevent her from spitting it out.
He stared at her intently.
Only when Li Luo finally gulped down the pill did Ye Wangchuan let go.
Li Luo collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath and coughing.
"Cough! Cough! What the hell are you doing?!"
"I was testing it for poison," Ye Wangchuan said bluntly.
Li Luo smirked. "Haha, actually, out of those twelve pills, one of them is a poison pill. Why don't you try them one by one for me?"
Ye Wangchuan: "The one I fed you was a mix of a bit from each pill."
Li Luo: "..."
After saying that, Ye Wangchuan pulled Li Luo up from the ground.
Then he took out the remaining Cultivation Pills, popped one into his own mouth, and swallowed it.
Li Luo immediately looked up.
She wanted to see if Ye Wangchuan would be overwhelmed by the bitterness of the Cultivation Pill.
But clearly.
It had no effect.
Ye Wangchuan swallowed the pill expressionlessly, feeling his aura increase significantly.
At the same time, he confirmed something.
Li Luo had a system!
The crazy alchemists had been researching for tens of thousands of years and still hadn't developed a pill that could unconditionally increase cultivation.
So how could Li Luo do it?
Combined with Li Luo's ability to magically produce pills earlier.
Ye Wangchuan believed that a system was the best explanation.
But on the surface, Ye Wangchuan just smiled and patted Li Luo's shoulder.
"This is pretty good. Give me twelve more pills to strengthen my foundation."
"I only have two! Where would I get twelve..."
Li Luo reflexively retorted.
As soon as she said it, she quickly covered her mouth.
Crap.
She'd been tricked.
She should have said she didn't have such pills.
Ye Wangchuan: "I knew it. Give them to me."
Li Luo: "Are you a beggar? No way!"
Ye Wangchuan: "You bit my hand. Compensation."
Li Luo: "You deserved it!"
Ye Wangchuan: "Such an unreasonable woman. I was just afraid the scholar would hear your slander."
Li Luo: "Uh... fine, I'll give you one."
As the two were arguing.
A middle-aged man walked up behind Ye Wangchuan and spoke.
"Is this Li Luo? I'm one of the Elders of the Li family. Since you've just arrived at the Li family, I'll be responsible for teaching you some of our rules and..."
"Perfect timing! Elder, I accidentally bit this guy, and he's demanding compensation. Elder, please help me settle this," Li Luo said to the Elder.
The Elder, however, had no intention of paying. Instead, he directly scolded the person in front of Li Luo.
"Who's bratty child dares to ask for compensation for a mere bite from our Li family's genius... Ah, Ye Shao, my apologies, please continue."
"This Li Luo is currently an outsider and hasn't joined the Li family yet. Her actions have nothing to do with us."
Upon seeing Ye Wangchuan, the Elder quickly changed his tone, smoothly pivoted, and elegantly exited the scene.
Li Luo: "???"
Wait, what?
I'm a genius who reached Rank 97!
You're just going to sell me out like this?
I just bit Ye Wangchuan, is that really such a big deal?!
