On Qin Xuan’s first day at Yun Cheng University, rumors about Xiang TianGe never stopped circulating.
She possessed beauty comparable to Xia WanYing.
But her aura of mystery and unknown background far surpassed Xia WanYing.
Qin Xuan had wondered before, could this goddess existing in countless people's minds be his third martial sister in disguise?
Now, he had the answer.
Xiang TianGe was that girl last night, wearing casual clothes in the Lakeside Pavilion when Qin Xuan saw her!
At this moment, all eyes were completely drawn to Xiang TianGe.
Especially Lu Jinghong.
A man as outstanding as him, not just in school but even looking at the whole society, had countless young ladies dreaming of becoming his lifelong partner.
But ever since seeing Xiang TianGe, Lu Jinghong had not dated any other woman.
"How did you get here?" Lu Jinghong reacted first, his face full of pleasant surprise as he welcomed her.
Xiang TianGe's expression was frosty, full of accusation in her eyes, "Eating your fill and having nothing to do, interfering as a mediator, yet when things escalated to this point, you just stood by watching?"
"You..." Lu Jinghong was so shocked he couldn't speak.
Xiang TianGe continued, "Give me a clear answer now, for what happened tonight, can you settle it or not? If you don't want to get involved, then I'll handle it myself!"
The reception hall erupted into an uproar.
Jiang Feiyu and the others were shocked beyond belief.
Xiang TianGe rarely appeared, yet tonight she inexplicably came here, just to intervene in this matter!
They couldn't understand at all, what connection Xiang TianGe had with this situation, it seemed completely unrelated!
"I don't really understand, what kind of solution are you asking for?" Lu Jinghong's expression was strange.
"I think you understand clearly but are pretending to be confused." Xiang TianGe's brows contained anger, "I'll just put it bluntly now, if Qin Xuan gets hurt a single hair, I want everyone present here to have their whole families die without descendants!"
"..."
Dead silence in the hall.
To actually come for Qin Xuan's sake, and say such ruthless words!
Jiang Feiyu and the others' faces turned pale, no one knew Xiang TianGe's specific background, but they had long confirmed one thing.
Even someone of Jiang Feiyu's status and background as the Jiang family's eldest young master would not be able to shake Xiang TianGe.
Unless Lu Jinghong tore off all pretenses, no one present dared to yell at her!
"Did you know Qin before?" Lu Jinghong forcefully maintained his composure and pretended everything was normal, asking her.
"Don't bother yourself trying to pry about this, give me an answer immediately, if you won't control the situation then I'll handle it myself!" Xiang TianGe pressed aggressively.
Lu Jinghong's hands hidden in his pockets were tightly clenched into fists, nails almost piercing his palms, but his face still maintained a gentle smile, "Don't get angry, even if you didn't come I would have handled it properly."
As his words fell, Lu Jinghong looked towards Jiang Feiyu and the others, seeming somewhat displeased as he said, "As the host tonight, I held this banquet, but you doing this really shows no regard for me. Apologize to Qin immediately, otherwise we'll stand completely opposed, I'll only say this once, decide for yourselves."
"!!!"
Everyone's brows furrowed high.
They had long known Lu Jinghong liked Xiang TianGe, but never expected he would be so obsessed to this extent.
Even if they were not close with Lu Jinghong before, now they absolutely did not dare stand opposed to him.
This youth was truly too terrifying!
Soon, most people had apologized to Qin Xuan.
Including Jiang Feiyu, no matter how unwilling, he still said "I'm sorry" to Qin Xuan!
From the moment Xiang TianGe arrived, Qin Xuan had not said a word.
Because the shock in his heart was more intense than anyone else's.
Just a passing acquaintance, moreover when they were still strangers to each other...
Just what was this girl trying to do?!
"Let's go, don't drink with this bunch of worthless people, they don't deserve it."
Xiang TianGe very naturally pulled Qin Xuan's arm as they slowly walked out.
"..."
Qin Xuan was stunned silly.
And Lu Jinghong, no matter how he tried not to show it on his face, was now also somewhat unable to maintain calm. His hands hidden in his pockets were pierced by his nails, bleeding!
"Brother Hong, what exactly is going on?" Jiang Feiyu frowned and asked.
"I'm not too clear either." Lu Jinghong pretended to be calm, "I'll ask her about it later. I'm leaving first."
Speaking, Lu Jinghong quickly left.
Everyone clearly sensed that the normally calm and composed Lu Jinghong had now nearly exploded!
"Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise."
A vicious smile appeared on Jiang Feiyu's face, "Tonight we did fail to deal with Qin Xuan, seeming lucky, but Xiang TianGe's actions have completely enraged Brother Hong."
"Right!"
Dai Yunze smiled sinisterly, "Brother Hong has not dated all this time for Xiang TianGe's sake, clearly obsessed with her. He won't harm Xiang TianGe, but must vent somehow..."
That kid's situation now was more dangerous than offending them!
Indeed.
Offending Lu Jinghong alone was more dangerous than offending Jiang Feiyu's group just now!
Even Zhao Ming instantly forgot the pain of his crippled arm, his face full of sinister and gratified smiles.
...
Outside the hotel.
Qin Xuan got into Xiang TianGe's car.
She did not wear perfume, but the car was filled with a very nice fragrance, likely her natural body scent.
Qin Xuan carefully looked over Xiang TianGe.
Compared to her casual style last night, tonight Xiang TianGe wore a light blue skirt, long silky hair draping behind her, and light makeup on her face.
Her beauty was like a fairy who had walked out of a painting.
She could rival his martial sisters...
Qin Xuan was quite surprised.
"Little martial uncle, what are you looking at, I helped bail you out, why don't you thank me?" Xiang TianGe blinked her watery eyes.
"What did you call me?"
Qin Xuan was shocked, then his expression quickly darkened, "Which martial sister of mine are you the disciple of?"
"I can't tell you for now."
Xiang TianGe seemed somewhat spirited and lively, her eyes shifting around, "I didn't originally want to show myself, asking this and that would be annoying since I can't say, but you really couldn't handle that group alone, I had to come out."
"Don't give me this useless talk."
Qin Xuan's expression was extremely solemn, "Tell me immediately, which martial sister of mine are you the disciple of!"
Xiang TianGe pouted, complaining, "Don't ask anymore, I really can't say, you'll know when the time comes."
"I'm your elder, won't you listen to me?"
"Of course a disciple listens more to their master over their martial uncle...I mean, hey!!"
Xiang TianGe was halfway through speaking when her whole body was uncontrollably pulled over by Qin Xuan, heavily collapsing atop his lap.
"I'll ask you again, will you speak or not, this matter is too important to me, contacting my other martial sisters as soon as possible is crucial for me to break through this vortex, so I must know!" Qin Xuan's tone gradually turned icy.
"Beat me to death, I won't say!" Xiang TianGe grit her teeth.
Slap!
Another slap landed on her bottom, with considerable force, hurting her badly so she cried out.
"Will you speak or not?"
"No!"
Slap slap slap slap slap!
Xiang TianGe struggled desperately, before long her eyes brimmed with tears, "Waaa, little martial uncle you're so bad, I just helped you but you're hitting me right after, I hate you!"
"Sorry, I don't want to, but this matter is too important to me. Please just hurry and tell me, I want to see my martial sister!" Qin Xuan said.
"Beat me to death." Xiang TianGe clenched her teeth.
Slap!
Another slap struck down.
Causing Xiang TianGe's bottom to shudder intensely, then lightly tremble repeatedly like ripples on a water's surface.
And at the same time.
Lu Jinghong, who had just walked out of the hotel, happened to witness this scene.
The car window was not shut.
He saw everything clearly.
The goddess he dreamed of, actually doing this with another man in the car...
Sss.
Lu Jinghong tightly clenched his fists, inhaling sharply. His whole body shook violently, even his teeth in his mouth ground loudly!
"Why, why?"
"Usually in public you rarely speak, like an immortal fairy uninterested in the mundane world. I thought it was just your personality, but I didn't expect... "
"I've been pursuing you for so long. I wield power and wealth that countless people struggle to attain, yet in front of you I've always been like a grandson, and you've never looked at me directly."
"Turns out you're not just quiet, you're not uninterested in the mundane world either. It's just because I'm not Qin Xuan!!"
Lu Jinghong's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, with tears swirling inside.
This appearance was completely different than her usual gentle and refined self.
After a long while.
Lu Jinghong took a deep breath, turned and walked away, murmuring: "Qin Xuan...I don't care where you come from or what your relationship is with Xiang TianGe. From now on, it's either you die or I die!"
In the car.
Neither noticed that Lu Jinghong's gaze had lingered.
Qin Xuan released Xiang TianGe, his face full of disappointment.
If nothing unexpected happened, her butt must be red from the spanking and definitely hurting, but she kept silent and didn't reveal anything.
In the quiet atmosphere, only Xiang TianGe's intermittent sobs could be heard.
After over ten minutes.
Xiang TianGe wiped away her tears and looked at Qin Xuan resentfully, "Uncle Qin, I'm very angry now, but I understand your situation too. If I forgive your excessive behavior just now, will you not ask me about it anymore in the future?"
"No!"
Qin Xuan said solemnly: "If you still recognize me as Uncle Qin, explain the situation quickly. I'm not joking with you, I really need to understand more of the truth!"
"Do you know, Master instructed me not to appear before you, but I couldn't resist my curiosity and went against her wishes." Xiang TianGe said with a bitter face.
"Since you've already disobeyed, disobeying once more doesn't matter much. In the future if she blames you, I'll protect you. My senior sisters dote on me the most!" Qin Xuan promised.
"That does seem to be the logic..."
Xiang TianGe was gradually persuaded and pondered for a while. Finally she steeled her heart, "Then comfort me first before we talk."
"Not comforting means not talking?"
"Yes!"
"Threatening me?"
"Hmph."
"You're too bold, am I someone you can threaten?"
Qin Xuan frowned and immediately reached out to grab one of Xiang TianGe's feet, removing her shoe and sock. Then he pinched her sole with two fingers!
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
