Wang City, Ye Family.
"Hmph!"
"What a Su Muwan! Does she really think the Ye Family has no one left!?"
"She actually took a portion of our family's assets while I was in seclusion?!"
In the courtyard, a figure stood with his hands behind his back.
His expression was stern, and his tone was filled with rage: "And Brother Ye Qing, he was turned into a vegetable in Jiang City?"
"What Dragon King Palace! It's all nonsense!"
"They couldn't even protect their own people!"
Behind him.
The third young master of the Ye Family, Ye Lin, and the eldest daughter, Ye Meng, turned pale due to the terrifying aura emanating from him.
Even though Brother Ye Qing had become a vegetable and the Ye Family had been stripped of a significant portion of its wealth by Su Muwan...
Still...
Having witnessed Su Muwan's terror firsthand, Ye Meng kindly reminded Ye Qun: "Brother... let's not provoke Su Muwan, okay..."
"?"
Hearing this, Ye Qun frowned. He turned his head, and when he saw his younger brother and sister trembling in fear of Su Muwan, he could no longer hold back.
Two streams of hot tears rolled down his cheeks.
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and roared to the heavens: "Su Muwan!"
"You took my family's wealth! You crippled my eldest brother! You terrorized my family members!"
"You... you are nothing but a venomous woman!!!"
As soon as the words "venomous woman" left his mouth, Ye Meng shuddered violently. She swallowed hard and quickly said to Ye Qun: "Brother! You must never call her a venomous woman in front of Su Muwan."
"And besides, our Ye Family really has no feud with Su Muwan, truly!"
Ye Qun became even more heartbroken and furious.
His sister, once such a clever girl, had been corrupted into this state by that venomous woman.
Su Muwan, you must die!
Thinking this, Ye Qun walked over and gently rubbed Ye Meng and Ye Lin's heads. He said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."
"No... there's no feud to avenge..."
"Brother... please don't provoke Su Muwan... she killed four martial artists at the peak of the Transcendent Realm."
After some hesitation, Ye Lin finally stammered out what had happened on the cruise ship.
A moment later.
Ye Qun fell silent.
He looked at his terrified younger siblings, his eyes slightly dazed: "Are you saying that Su Muwan killed four peak Transcendent Realm martial artists with just one palm strike each?"
"Yes!"
"Even the Old Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain was so frightened that he sealed off the mountain?"
"Yes!"
"And the current Heavenly Master was taken by Su Muwan back to Jiang City and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks?"
"Yes!"
Ye Qun, seeing that the two weren't lying, fell into deep thought.
He wiped the green ring on his finger and silently asked: "Master, what do you think?"
*[Hmph, ridiculous. If this were my era, I would believe it.]*
*[But...]*
*[This is the Age of Decline. For someone to cultivate to such a level in this era, their talent would have to be monstrous.]*
*[In all my years, I have never seen anyone with such talent.]*
"So, Master, you think this is..."
*[Most likely a kind lie to keep you from provoking her.]*
*[No matter. Since your siblings care so much about you, just let them rest easy.]*
*[After all, your main goal now is to find the treasure legacy I left in this world. I have a feeling that soon... the Age of Decline will come to an end...]*
Hearing this, Ye Qun's heart burned with anticipation.
Since childhood, he had been the most talented in martial arts in the family.
But one day, his talent suddenly waned, leaving him only slightly better than an ordinary person.
All because of this ancient ring.
The ring housed a spirit, who claimed to be a powerful figure from over ten thousand years ago.
The cultivation techniques he now practiced were taught by this spirit.
Moreover, the spirit had told him that this was the Age of Decline, where spiritual energy was scarce, and it was nearly impossible for anyone to break through the peak Transcendent Realm and reach a higher level.
But during his recent seclusion, the spirit had suddenly informed him that the heavens and earth were showing strange signs, spiritual energy was surging, and the Age of Decline was coming to an end!
Ye Qun knew exactly what this meant.
He clenched his fists, his heart filled with excitement.
When the ancient ruins reappeared, the world would once again be filled with abundant spiritual energy.
Everyone would have the chance to reach higher realms!
Ye Qun was confident that he would stand at the pinnacle of martial artists.
Not only did he have the guidance of his master, but he also had his own innate talent.
As for Su Muwan...
Poor siblings, don't worry. Once the Age of Decline ends, I will make the Ye Family the number one family in the world!
And that Su Muwan!! She will die!!
Thinking this, Ye Qun pretended to understand and nodded with a sigh: "I understand, I won't go looking for trouble with her."
Seeing this, Ye Meng and Ye Lin finally smiled and nodded: "Good!"
"By the way, Brother, Father has found you a fiancée, and she's a big celebrity."
"Fiancée?"
Ye Qun smiled, not caring who she was. Whoever became his fiancée would be blessed.
After all...
This era belonged to him!
And the upcoming National Martial Arts Tournament...
Perfect timing.
Ye Qun clenched his fists. He had been in seclusion for half a year, and surely everyone had forgotten who he was.
This time, he would make sure everyone remembered!
He! Ye Qun was back!
...
...
Yan Family.
Yan Qiuyue's father straightened up and forced a smile: "Oh... what is all this about!?"
"Daughter, if you didn't want to get married, you should have said so earlier!"
He glanced at Yan Qiuyue, who was acting all high and mighty.
You rebellious daughter!! You're just a rebellious daughter!!
If you didn't want to marry, you could have discussed it properly! It's not like I wouldn't have agreed!
Did you really have to bring this person here?
Yan Qiuyue's father glanced out of the corner of his eye at Su Muwan, who was sitting across from him, casually blowing dust off her nails.
You really brought this terrifying woman here just because you didn't want to get married??
Su Muwan absentmindedly blew dust off her nails, while Yan Qiuyue stood beside her, gloating: "I told you, but you insisted on forcing me!"
"Now that I've brought the ruler of Jiang City here, Dad, you better watch what you say!"
Then, Yan Qiuyue turned to Su Muwan and said: "Right, Muwan?"
Su Muwan nodded: "Mhm, mhm, mhm."
Su Muwan had unified Jiang City, so of course, she was its ruler.
While it was nice that his daughter had a city ruler as a friend... he really should have considered who that friend was.
Of course.
Yan Qiuyue's father forced a smile and said: "It's all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding! Yan Yan can do whatever she wants! I won't interfere anymore!"
Yan Qiuyue was delighted.
Su Muwan nodded.
Qin Luo smiled: "Alright."
After they left, Yan Qiuyue's father's smile faded. He turned to his subordinate and said through gritted teeth: "Find out who spread those rumors about my daughter and bring them to me!!"
"Also... hurry up and cancel the engagement with the Ye Family."
"Uh... but sir, the Ye Family's young master is..."
"What are you afraid of!?"
Yan Qiuyue's father snorted coldly: "The ruler of Jiang City's forces is Miss Su!!"
"Even a dog has its master, right?"
"True!"
Outside.
With this matter resolved, Yan Qiuyue felt refreshed.
Once her father canceled the engagement, she could focus entirely on her career as a top star in the entertainment industry!
So!
"Hehe, Muwan~~"
Yan Qiuyue linked arms with Su Muwan and said with a wink: "Don't worry, Muwan, now I can wholeheartedly help you win over Qin Luo!"
Su Muwan rolled her eyes. You better.
After a moment of thought.
She glanced at Qin Luo, who was walking ahead.
She whispered: "Hurry up and ask that master you found to come up with a plan. The sooner we win over Qin Luo, the better!"
"Got it!"

ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that? Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half?

lanned to earn money steadily and take life at a slower pace. But he never expected... his father's remarriage, and the stepmother bringing along a dependent, would completely disrupt his life's plans...

't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
