Ning Family's Branch House.
Inside the courtyard.
All the martial artists of the branch house have gathered in the open space.
Instructor Ning Chong stood in front of the crowd and shouted loudly, "Miss Muqing will be bringing people over soon to visit our competition site!"
"Everyone, give it your all in the competition! Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded loudly.
However, their faces still revealed a hint of genuine fear.
After all, the reputation of Su Muwan was something they had heard of long ago.
Anyone who displeased her, regardless of the occasion or location, would be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!
Especially now, after recently unifying Jiang City, she was at the peak of her power, surrounded by an aura of menace.
Coming here now was clearly not a good thing!
Ning Chong nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Ning Duanlang, who was covered in scars, and said in a deep voice, "Especially you, Ning Duanlang."
"You'll be the first to compete in the revival match. Don't embarrass our branch house, do you hear me?!"
Ning Duanlang's eyes narrowed as he replied calmly, "Yes."
Then, he clenched his fists tightly, and his expression gradually turned grim and incredulous.
Why would Su Muwan come at this time?
Why?
Could it be the butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth?
The girl with the bob cut next to him noticed Ning Duanlang's troubled expression. Fearfully, she reached out and grasped his wrist, worriedly saying, "Brother Duanlang, I'm scared..."
Ning Duanlang took a deep breath and recalled the girl's name in his mind.
Ning Lan, like him, was a martial artist from the branch house.
She was someone he considered like a younger sister, and he had sworn to protect her.
But unfortunately, she died on that fateful night of the clan's destruction.
So...
Ning Duanlang vowed, his gaze firm.
Even if things were slightly different from his previous life, his determination for revenge would never change!
"Don't be afraid, sister. Brother will definitely win the competition for you to see."
"And regarding Su Muwan... I won't let her hurt you."
That's right.
Ning Duanlang's eyes burned with resentment.
Su Muwan!
You vicious woman!
I will never forgive you!
Time passed.
After touring the Ning family's main house, Ning Muqing led a group of people to the entrance of a courtyard.
Above the gate was written...
Branch House.
Qin Luo looked up and smirked slightly.
Branch House...
So, that reincarnated individual is indeed inside, right?
Entering the main gate, they walked along a long corridor that intersected in various directions.
Ning Chong, as the chief instructor of the Ning family, was in charge of many aspects of martial arts training.
He approached with a serious demeanor, not smiling.
"Miss Muqing, greetings."
"And..."
He looked at Su Muwan, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said slowly, "Greetings, Miss Su."
As he spoke, Ning Chong felt a chill run down his spine.
He could sense the overwhelming aura of menace emanating from Su Muwan.
This aura was almost tangible, constantly assaulting his spirit.
So... so strong...
A drop of cold sweat ran down Ning Chong's cheek.
His heart trembled. Just standing there, he knew...
Su Muwan! She was incredibly powerful!
Indeed, she was the legendary genius who could annihilate opponents with a single glance!
Compared to Su Muwan...
Ning Chong glanced at Qin Luo, who was standing beside her. He seemed much more approachable.
He smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Qin. Your medical skills have already spread throughout Wang City."
Qin Luo smiled faintly, "It's all thanks to Miss Su's guidance."
Su Muwan smiled in satisfaction.
Although she didn't know medicine herself, her status was all thanks to Qin Luo.
Ning Muqing also added, "Sister Su, the next event is our branch house's internal competition."
The first place winner will receive a Potion of Breakthrough, which can help them reach the Foundation Realm.
Reaching the Foundation Realm—what a distant concept.
Qin Luo smiled but remained silent.
By normal standards, this potion would undoubtedly go to the reincarnated individual.
But...
Since our Miss Su is presumed to have reached the state of returning to simplicity, and you haven't even broken through to the Foundation Realm yet...
If you don't have some extraordinary abilities, what are you even playing at?
The competition arena was a large, ring-shaped platform.
Below the platform, two figures stood in the open space, ready to compete.
One figure was thin and injured but had an incredibly determined gaze.
The other was burly, with a look of disdain when he glanced at Ning Duanlang.
Ning Duanlang, you'd better surrender quickly. There's only one revival slot in this revival match, and I'm taking it!
Ning Duanlang looked at his opponent, clenched his fists, but said nothing.
Having been reborn, his body was still somewhat frail, but...
With his previous life's combat experience, he was more than capable of handling this fight!
At that moment, a commotion broke out in the stands.
Ning Duanlang frowned and looked up.
Immediately... his pupils dilated.
A surge of anger and fear erupted uncontrollably from his heart.
The person who had arrived on the platform was none other than...
Su Muwan?!
She really came?!
And there was a man in a white suit beside her... why was he looking at me?
No... stay calm...
You're not a match for Su Muwan right now. You must endure!
Ning Duanlang took a deep breath and averted his gaze.
In the stands.
Qin Luo and Su Muwan sat in the best viewing spot.
He looked at Ning Duanlang below with a playful expression.
【Detected "Ning Duanlang," the protagonist of "Reborn Before the Clan's Destruction, I Choose to Take Everything Back" (T1)】
【Please perform a servile act towards him!】
【Reward: 5 Attribute Points】
The reincarnated individual, Ning Duanlang...
Qin Luo's thoughts moved.
His gaze fell on Ning Muqing beside him.
Heh, you like Ning Muqing...
Because of Su Muwan, the great villain, the Ning family was destroyed by other forces.
So you ended up hating Su Muwan, huh...
Interesting.
Qin Luo's lips curled slightly as he looked at Su Muwan, who was beside him, bored and fiddling with his fingers.
Hmm, so why are you using my hand to pick your nails?
...
...
Evening came, and the internal competition of the clan ended.
As expected, Ning Duanlang surprised everyone by becoming the ultimate winner.
Under the envious gazes of everyone, Ning Muqing personally presented him with the Potion of Breakthrough.
She looked at Ning Duanlang and revealed a hint of appreciation in her eyes, saying, "Ning Duanlang, this is your winning prize, the Potion of Breakthrough."
Ning Duanlang stood before Ning Muqing, looking at her, who seemed to have a different emotion towards him.
For the first time, he felt that being reborn was truly wonderful!
Indeed... the outcome could be changed!
Ning Duanlang almost couldn't help but confess his feelings to Ning Muqing.
But no...
As he took the box containing the Potion of Breakthrough, he subtly glanced at the area behind Ning Muqing.
Su Muwan... was also there.
"Thank you, Miss Muqing," Ning Duanlang responded respectfully to Ning Muqing.
Biting back his emotions, he was about to turn and leave when suddenly...
A strange voice exploded in his mind.
Ning Duanlang, you are the reincarnated individual... aren't you?
The moment the words fell, Ning Duanlang's pupils dilated:!!!
He felt as if he had plunged into an icy abyss.
Who?!
world slacker. But a genius female disciple just had to get clingy, insisting that he take her as a disciple. Not only that, she was always making advances on him, thoroughly disrupting his peaceful slacker life...
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall?

Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing?

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
For the sake of his unrequited love, his ex-girlfriend abandoned him at the altar, indirectly causing the death of his parents. Just when he thought his life was plunged into darkness, a clueless yet beautiful girl unexpectedly took him in. Looking back, he realized how many hidden gems had always been by his side. A childhood friend who had secretly loved him for over a decade, a stunning but socially clueless school beauty, a mischievous and playful girl who lived for chaos... His ex, filled with regret, pleaded: "I was wrong—can we go back to how things were?" Before he could respond, the girl stepped in front of Ye Shuang and coldly declared, "If you didn’t cherish him, then he’s mine now." Also known as: "After Losing My Job, I Was Picked Up by a Hidden Gem," "The School Beauty I Raised," and "Oh No, I’m Surrounded by Rich Girls."
