The Su family was a dominant force in Jiang City.
Their sphere of influence and business enterprises spanned the globe.
Of course, the main reason supporting their unshakeable position was... the Su family patriarch, Su Ba!!
One of only seven late-stage Peak Realm powerhouses in the world.
(Initiation Realm, Foundation Realm, Mastery Realm, Peak Realm, Return to Simplicity Realm)
Old Master Su Ba was among this elite group!
Unfortunately, due to issues with his cultivation technique in his early years, Su Ba's body developed a hidden ailment, which erupted in his old age, repeatedly putting him in critical condition.
The Su family's standing in the world of martial arts was also in jeopardy.
At the Su family's main residence.
The main residence was a vast estate with sprawling grounds.
Within the estate, ancient trees reached towards the sky, and pavilions and towers were artfully arranged, each corner exuding a sense of deep historical heritage and family prestige.
Qin Luo followed behind Su Muwan as they entered the Su family's main hall.
Su Muwan's parents had been waiting for some time.
Mr. and Mrs. Su stood in the great hall, their expressions softening with a smile as they looked at Su Muwan.
"Welcome."
Su Muwan's father was the current head of the Su family, named Su Lingtian.
His voice was flat, but his eyes held a hint of doting affection.
Due to his cultivation technique, Su Lingtian was unable to fully express his emotions.
"My dear daughter, your father means to welcome you back. Stay for a few days until the family banquet is over. Your grandfather has been missing you too."
Su Muwan's mother was named Ning Qingxuan, the eldest daughter of the Ning family from Wang City. In her youth, she had met and fallen in love with Su Lingtian during a martial arts competition.
Compared to Su Lingtian's calm demeanor, Ning Qingxuan's face was wreathed in a warm smile.
Her gaze moved back and forth between Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
Especially when she noticed Qin Luo's fair and well-defined hands,
her heart stirred with a particular interest.
Su Bailian was also present, and due to the company,
she maintained a gentle and obedient demeanor: "Sister Su, you're finally back~"
As she spoke, she quickly glanced at Qin Luo standing behind Su Muwan.
Her eyes immediately flashed with anger.
Damn it! How did this guy still manage to come!
"I'm back, Mom and Dad."
Su Muwan smiled slightly, ignoring Su Bailian, and turned to introduce Qin Luo, saying, "Dad, Mom, this is the new attendant of mine that you wanted to meet."
"His name is Qin Luo."
As Su Muwan finished speaking,
Qin Luo stepped forward and politely bowed, saying, "Uncle Su, Aunt Su, I, Qin Luo, pay my respects to you both."
Hearing this,
Su Lingtian's gaze lingered on Qin Luo for a moment, seemingly observing every detail about him.
Although Qin Luo was just Su Muwan's attendant, for some reason,
(Natural Charisma continuously activated) the humility and confidence that radiated from his demeanor made people feel at ease.
In contrast, his own daughter seemed to exude an increasingly intense aura of bloodthirst.
Thinking of this,
Su Lingtian slowly opened his mouth, his voice carrying a hint of indifference: "Mm."
His voice was flat and cold, but Qin Luo could detect a note of satisfaction in it.
Hm?
Why?
Have I met him before?
At this moment, Su Muwan's mother smiled and turned to Qin Luo to explain, "Your Uncle Su isn't very expressive due to his cultivation technique."
"He's thanking you for helping our Muwan resolve the crisis at the company."
"Our daughter is arrogant and domineering, so she's easily tricked."
"It's fortunate that you were there, Qin Luo. Otherwise, our daughter might have bankrupted the Su Corporation just after taking over."
Su Bailian blinked, her expression innocent.
Su Muwan's face reddened, and she grabbed Ning Qingxuan's hand, complaining, "Mom! How can you talk about your daughter like that!"
Qin Luo smiled and replied, "This is all thanks to the Young Miss's excellent guidance. My contribution is only one-tenth of the credit."
"The remaining nine-tenths are due to the Young Miss's intelligence and wisdom."
Saying this,
Qin Luo turned to Ning Qingxuan, respectfully cupping his hands and said, "I've long heard that the Su family is a dominant force in Jiang City, with influence spanning the globe, and is especially renowned for their martial arts, being one of the world's top powerful families."
"Their most important rule... is loyalty!"
"And I, Qin Luo,"
"am wholeheartedly devoted to the Young Miss, without any ulterior motives!!!!"
Qin Luo...
Su Muwan was touched internally. Qin Luo, you really move this young miss so much!
Su Bailian pouted, thinking, "Bootlicker, sycophant."
Ning Qingxuan nodded with satisfaction. Not bad.
This Qin Luo was neither arrogant nor impetuous, modest and polite, warm towards others, and especially had a gentle and approachable demeanor.
He was truly a rare talent.
Especially...
Ning Qingxuan glanced at Qin Luo's raised jade-like hand.
She smirked, naturally grasping Qin Luo's hand, then looked at him with a smile and said, "Little Luo, since you've become Muwan's personal attendant, you're part of the family now."
"How about this, didn't Muwan say you know medical arts?"
"Recently..."
Ning Qingxuan pretended to be troubled, rubbing her shoulder and said with concern, "Recently, my shoulders have been so sore and painful."
"Do you think you could help auntie... hey hey hey..."
Before she could finish,
Su Muwan quickly stepped between them and forcibly pulled Ning Qingxuan's grabby hand away from Qin Luo.
She stood in front of Qin Luo, scolding her mother with embarrassment, "Mom! How old are you? Qin Luo is my attendant, why are you touching him?"
"If your shoulders are sore, can't you ask Dad to massage them? If not, you can have Bailian do it!"
Hearing this, Su Bailian immediately walked to Ning Qingxuan's side and said, "That's right, Mommy, let Lian Lian help you~"
The latter first waved her hand, then put one hand on her hip, looking at Qin Luo, then at Su Muwan who seemed to be guarding her food.
She teased, "Why such a big reaction, daughter? Didn't you say Qin Luo knows medical arts?"
"That's why I wanted to try it out, how come..."
"I can't even use your attendant as your mother?"
Use... use?
Su Muwan looked up and glared at her improper mother, saying, "That's right! Qin Luo is my attendant, so I only lend him to people I want to lend him to!"
Qin Luo's mouth twitched behind her.
Hey hey hey, the way you're talking makes it sound like I'm an object.
At this moment,
A touch appeared on Qin Luo's waist.
He curiously looked to the side.
Only to see,
Su Muwan's father, Su Lingtian, standing there expressionlessly. He reached out and pointed at himself, saying flatly, "Me."
??
Qin Luo was stunned, then reacted.
He hesitantly asked, "You want me to take a look at you, right?"
Seeing that Qin Luo had understood his meaning, Su Lingtian's eyes immediately showed a hint of joy.
"Mm mm."
He nodded.
Qin Luo was inwardly resigned, thinking this villain family seems a bit abnormal!
Thinking of this,
Swoosh! The Taixuan Thirteen Needles technique instantly activated!
In an instant, Qin Luo found the cause of the ailment.
Because the Su family's martial arts were extremely cold and yin in nature, it caused Su Lingtian to endure extreme cold pain in his meridians daily.
Qin Luo could see that he was still enduring this pain even now.
It was only due to his martial arts and his own strong willpower
that he appeared as if nothing was wrong.
So...
He just needed to help clear the cold energy in his body regularly to gradually alleviate this pain.
Thinking of this,
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The Dark Iron Silver Needles instantly pierced into Su Lingtian's body.
Boom!!
Waves of extreme cold energy were immediately expelled from his body.
Su Lingtian's originally pale complexion gradually became ruddy.
Su Muwan was still verbally sparring with her mother on the side.
Suddenly, a wave of extreme cold energy came from behind.
They both turned around and saw Qin Luo treating Su Lingtian on the spot.
"Ah!"
Ning Qingxuan's small mouth opened slightly, her eyes filled with shock.
What kind of needle technique is this?
It can actually dispel the cold energy in her husband's body?
What's going on?
Is this little attendant's medical skill really so formidable?
Su Muwan also had a shocked expression.
Hiss!
Qin Luo can actually dispel the cold energy from the Su family's techniques?
Wait, is your medical skill really that amazing?
Su Bailian, standing to the side, looked a bit dazed (unable to see the cold energy, only feeling that the surroundings were a bit cold).
What's happening? What's happening?
What's going on? What just happened?
Why is everyone so shocked?
Should I also put on a shocked expression?
Only those who practiced martial arts knew what it meant to be able to dispel the cold energy for a member of the Su family.
This could be said to be a complete refinement of the Su family's technique!
The side effects of the cold energy could now be eliminated completely!
Su Muwan was particularly shocked internally. In her previous life, although she had trained her martial arts to the peak, her body had still suffered various erosions from the cold energy. She had endured excruciating pain while fighting against that group of protagonists.
But unexpectedly...
Su Muwan looked towards Qin Luo, her eyes flickering.
The halo above Qin Luo's head shone even brighter.
Wow!
Qin Luo really was the protagonist, no doubt about it!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
