"Ah——"
Jiang Che stretched out his hand and gently pinched Qiangwei's little nose.
"In two more months, we'll be graduating. I plan to arrange for you to join us in campus... to experience student life in Dragon Country. What do you think?"
Qiangwei tilted her head, seemingly deep in thought.
While she longed for campus life, her love for Jiang Che was deeper. If going to school meant being separated from him... she definitely wouldn't want that.
"Jiang Che gege, will we be apart?"
Jiang Che smiled helplessly and placed a hand on the girl's head. "No, I can promise you'll see me every night."
Hearing his promise, Qiangwei smiled brightly, wrapping her arms around Jiang Che's, looking inseparable.
Bai Jie, nearby, felt a complex mix of emotions. It was foreseeable... with Jiang Che's grades, he would undoubtedly be admitted to the most prestigious university in Dragon Country. Her own grades, however, lagged a few dozen points behind his.
Although Jiang Che had assured her he wouldn't abandon them, Bai Jie didn't want to be burdensome to him.
"Um... Jiang Che gege, I want to go home tomorrow, to review..."
Her words were clear. Staying with Jiang Che... she couldn't focus on studying. All day, her thoughts were on how to get closer to him, and at night, there was no time left for studying. Her mind was filled with... well, nonsense. Maintaining her grades without decline was already an achievement.
Jiang Che chuckled lightly. "Of course."
...
Bai Jie returned home.
As soon as she entered, she sensed the unusual atmosphere in the Bai residence.
Something was different from before.
Bai Tianlong sat on the sofa, his hair visibly graying.
The greatest sorrow in life... was learning of one's son's death in midlife. Before knowing the details... he could still cling to hope, deceive himself. But now, even that was impossible!
"Xiaojie? You're back?"
Seeing Bai Jie, Bai Tianlong's aged face finally showed a trace of relief.
"Father..."
Bai Jie lowered her head. Though she had no sense of belonging to the Bai family, she couldn't deny... Bai Tianlong had treated her well.
"Daughter, Aunt Wang told me about you... staying with classmates is fine."
Bai Tianlong, of course, knew better. His little daughter had, without a doubt, given herself away!
But now... he wanted to know if his elder daughter, who he hadn't seen in over a decade, had also been taken advantage of by Jiang Che.
Bai Jie's face flushed slightly at his words. Staying with classmates...
Well, yes, they did "play," and it was quite enjoyable. But could she tell her father that?
"Father, you know I've always liked Jiang Che gege, and he treats me well~"
Bai Tianlong and Bai Jie talked much more after that. Hearing that his daughter hadn't been mistreated by Jiang Che... he felt much relieved.
Being part of the upper class, he knew well... many wealthy men had peculiar fetishes, a penchant for tormenting women wasn't rare.
Though he wished to latch onto the Jiang Family's influence, if it meant sacrificing his daughter's happiness... he'd rather not!
After circling around for over ten minutes, Bai Tianlong finally steered the conversation to the main point.
Daughter... the one you mentioned, Bai Qiangwei... does she also have the family name Bai?
Clearly, Bai Tianlong was probing.
Bai Jie, however, knew Qiangwei was her biological sister, as Jiang Che had done a blood relationship test for them.
"Father... Qiangwei jiejie is actually... my biological sister."
Bai Jie was smart. Why would her father suddenly be so curious about a stranger?
Clearly, he had discovered something!
As expected, upon hearing Bai Jie's words... Bai Tianlong froze.
"What? You know Qiangwei is your real sister?"
His voice trembled slightly.
He was the last to know? How absurd!
Bai Jie nodded gently.
"Father, Jiang Che gege helped Qiangwei jie and me do a blood test. It confirmed we are biological sisters. Qiangwei jie is likely the eldest daughter of the Bai family from over ten years ago..."
Saying this, she took out a blood test report from her pocket, given to her by Jiang Che, which she had kept carefully.
Bai Tianlong's hands shook as he took the report.
After reading carefully, he confirmed... Qiangwei was indeed his elder daughter.
"Bai Wei... eh, no... is your sister okay?"
Bai Jie nodded lightly. "Jiang Che gege really likes Qiangwei jie. Today, he even took us out to play~"
Mentioning Jiang Che, Bai Jie's eyes lit up.
Bai Tianlong: "......"
This was bad. His worst fear had come true.
Jiang Che was truly shameless, having taken both his daughters.
But what could he do? The Bai Family was only a second-tier family, unable to challenge the Jiang Family!
Moreover, his level was too low to be aware of the ancient martial world, unaware that Jiang Che was also backed by the Jiang Family, a colossal force in the ancient martial world.
"Daughter... I want to see your sister. Can you help convey this to Young Master Jiang?"
Bai Tianlong felt utterly humiliated. As a father... wanting to see his daughter required him to beg someone else?
Bai Jie shook her head, her expression helpless.
"Father, I came home only to study. I want to enter the same school as Jiang Che gege."
"You don't have to worry. Qiangwei jie is living well with Jiang Che gege. He even plans to arrange for Qiangwei jie to attend school..."
Bai Tianlong: "......"
What about me? What about this old father? I don't even get to see my own daughter?
Don't be so cruel! I've already lost a son!
"Daughter... your sister has suffered outside all these years. I——"
Bai Tianlong had many things he wanted to say to Bai Wei, but they stuck in his throat. He could only wait until he saw her in person to express them.
Bai Jie glanced at Bai Tianlong, then said no more, turning to enter her room.
Opening her schoolbag, it was empty of books, only containing a meticulously preserved bedsheet and several men's underwear.
Clearly, Bai Jie, despite gaining Jiang Che's favor, hadn't forgotten her... habits.
Bai Jie spread the sheet on her bed. The spotless white sheet bore a striking red plum blossom, causing her cheeks to flush.
She then picked up an underwear, her gaze becoming resolute. She must create a miracle in these two months, catching up to Jiang Che gege and entering the same school as him.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
