The Li Family.
"Uncle Li, I'm back."
As she spoke, Li Luo pushed open the door and walked into a room.
Inside the room, at a wooden table.
Old Man Li and a short old man, only 1.4 meters tall, were sitting at the table, engaged in conversation.
Seeing Li Luo return,
Old Man Li turned his head to look at her, his expression somewhat serious.
"Why didn’t you come back all night? Where did you go? Let me tell you, there are many people with bad intentions out there, especially for a young girl like you..."
"I spent the night on Spirit Mountain with Ye Wangchuan," Li Luo interrupted.
"But then again, you really do need to go out on your own to develop some independence," Old Man Li’s expression instantly softened.
Li Luo’s mouth twitched.
Damn, everyone in the Li Family really does change their expression as soon as they hear Ye Wangchuan’s name.
Is Ye Wangchuan some kind of special switch?
At this moment, Old Man Li spoke again.
"By the way, Li Luo, let me introduce you to the person beside me. He is the Grand Elder of the Li Family. You must have met him on the Heaven Rank."
Hearing this, Li Luo looked at the short old man, the Grand Elder of the Li Family.
Back when she was tied up by Ye Wangchuan on the Heaven Rank, it was the Grand Elder who saved her.
As a price, she had now joined the Li Family.
Li Luo nodded and said politely,
"Greetings, Grand Elder."
"Haha, no need to be so formal. Just a casual introduction is fine," the Grand Elder waved his hand, smiling.
"Li Luo, I assume you haven’t joined a sect yet. Coincidentally, I’ve recently freed up some time. I can teach you my Ink Art technique. It’s very powerful."
"Uh, sorry, I’ve already joined a sect called the Sparrow Sect," Li Luo said.
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Man Li and the Grand Elder fell silent for a moment.
The next second,
Old Man Li frowned, his expression serious again.
"You’re a member of a noble family. Why would you join a sect? And what kind of sect is this Sparrow Sect? I’ve never even heard of it. Could it be a Devil Path Sect..."
"Ye Wangchuan is also in the Sparrow Sect," Li Luo interrupted.
"But then again, one really can’t stay in the family forever. Otherwise, they’ll just become lazy," Old Man Li’s expression changed once more.
Beside him,
the Grand Elder, having been rejected, showed no particular emotion.
He just smiled and said,
"Well then, Li Luo, you can learn the techniques of the Sparrow Sect for now. If you have time in the future, you can come to me and learn the Ink Art."
"Alright," Li Luo nodded.
Afterward, they discussed a few more things.
In truth, Li Luo had come here mainly to inform them that she would be spending a lot of time on Spirit Mountain from now on.
Old Man Li naturally had no objections.
After all, Li Luo was staying with Ye Wangchuan. How could he possibly object?
As they were talking,
Knock, knock, knock.
A servant knocked on the door.
"Come in. What is it?"
"Master, Young Master Ye Wangchuan from the Ye Family has arrived at the main gate of the Li Family. He says he’s here to see Miss Li Luo."
"Oh, just... who? Ye Wangchuan! Let him in! If anyone dares to stop him, I’ll have their head!"
Old Man Li instantly perked up.
Damn!
Not only did Li Luo willingly spend the night with Ye Wangchuan,
but now Ye Wangchuan is actively seeking out Li Luo!
Holy crap!
This is definitely a sign!
The Li Family is about to board the Ye Family’s ship!
Old Man Li grew more and more excited as he thought about it, quickly urging Li Luo to go out and see what was going on.
...
The Li Family.
In a garden.
Ye Wangchuan sat on a wooden chair, eating fruit while waiting for Li Luo.
As for Fang Que, she had been taken by a female servant of the Li Family to a separate room to have her measurements taken for custom-made clothes.
After a while, Li Luo arrived in the garden.
She walked over and plopped down next to Ye Wangchuan, casually picking up some golden grapes to eat.
While munching on the grapes, she mumbled,
"What do you want?"
"Later, I need you to help me kill someone. In return, I’ll waive one day of your rent."
Ye Wangchuan said casually.
Hearing this, Li Luo was about to complain about how it was only one day.
But the next second, she turned her head in confusion and asked,
"Help you kill someone????"
"Yeah, you already killed Tang San. Killing one more person shouldn’t be a big deal, right?"
Ye Wangchuan said matter-of-factly.
Li Luo waved her hand, shaking her head, about to refuse.
But the next second,
[Ding, special event detected. System task issued.]
[Option 1]: Refuse to help Ye Wangchuan kill someone.
Task reward: A "Model Student" certificate, showcasing the host’s kindness.
[Option 2]: Agree to help Ye Wangchuan kill someone.
Task reward: 6 Low-Grade Cultivation Pills, 2 Low-Grade Foundation Building Pills, +100 Villain Points.
[Option 3]: Pretend to help Ye Wangchuan, but betray him at the critical moment!
Task reward: 5 Low-Grade Foundation Building Pills, 2 Explosion Talismans, +500 Villain Points.
Hearing this series of electronic voices in her head, Li Luo’s mouth twitched.
She had almost forgotten that her system had a task-issuing function.
Looking at these three options, Li Luo pondered for a moment.
Option 2 was clearly the best, right?
No matter how good the rewards for Option 3 were, she’d need to be alive to enjoy them.
Having made up her mind, Li Luo turned to Ye Wangchuan and said,
"Alright, Ye Wangchuan. I’ll help you kill someone. But you have to waive a week of my rent! One day is too little!"
"Deal."
Ye Wangchuan nodded in agreement.
He was a bit surprised that Li Luo had agreed so easily.
But then again, it made sense.
A single life was nothing compared to the value of twenty-one Cultivation Pills.
After finalizing the deal, the two prepared to get up and carry out the killing.
Well...
It’s perfectly normal for a Child of Destiny and a villain to team up to kill another Child of Destiny, right?
...
Meanwhile, Su Fugui.
Su Fugui, on the other hand, didn’t have as much going on.
First, he dressed himself up handsomely at a clothing shop.
Then, with the remaining money, he bought a luxurious carriage, a grand mansion, hired some servants, bought some furniture, had a lavish meal, and even took on a beautiful servant as part of his harem, among other things.
During this time, Su Fugui did face some challenges—being doubted about his ability to afford the carriage, questioned about buying the mansion, and having his servant harassed by some thugs.
But these were all minor issues.
Soon, evening arrived.
"Hmm... I only have 50 gold left. I’ll stop here for today. I’ll continue tomorrow when the 1000 gold comes in."
Su Fugui walked along the night road, looking at the 9 enhancement points on his system panel.
"Hmm... It took 30 enhancement points to reach the early stage of the first level. These 9 points definitely aren’t enough to reach the mid-stage. I’ll save them for now."
As Su Fugui was thinking,
the next second, two shadowy figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
One man and one woman.
Su Fugui’s eyes narrowed as he carefully examined them.
It was...
Tang Mo and his trusted guard!
