Looking at Elder Ying's submissive demeanor, Su Muwan naturally knew this was just for show.
However... there would be plenty of time to deal with them later.
So she stood up with a light laugh: "Heh."
"How boring."
She mockingly looked at the two defeated people before her, enunciating each word: "So this is the Long Family? Nothing but a tiny clan from an insignificant place."
"Pathetic."
"Let's go, Qin Luo. Let's sit somewhere else. These two are an eyesore."
"Yes, Young Miss."
With that, the two left one after another.
As Su Muwan departed, the atmosphere gradually warmed up again.
Long Xiayue watched Su Muwan leave, her panicked and fearful expression slowly fading.
Only to be replaced by one of twisted anger.
Su Muwan!!!
How dare she call my Long Family a tiny clan from an insignificant place?!
She's asking for death!!
"Grandfather Ying, I must have Su Muwan killed!"
Long Xiayue's expression was contorted as she clenched her fists tightly.
She had always had things go her way since childhood and had never suffered such humiliation before!
Hearing this, Elder Ying pondered for a moment, his eyes also showing a hint of coldness as he said hoarsely: "Don't worry, Young Miss."
"Our Dragon King Palace forces are heading towards the Lin Family."
"When the time comes, we just need to wait for the Dragon King to return and lead us in suppressing Su Muwan and the Lin Family!"
"For now... we must endure!"
Hearing this,
Although Long Xiayue was unwilling, she still nodded.
That's right.
We still have the remaining forces of the Dragon King Palace coming.
And we have the Dragon King!
Su Muwan, who do you think you are?
When the time comes, you'll be the one kneeling and begging for forgiveness!
As for that follower of yours, hah!
Remembering how that follower had slapped her Elder Ying's face,
She decided she would cripple all his limbs and destroy his dantian!
Time passed.
The guests invited to the birthday banquet arrived one after another.
However, those who arrived later, including Old Master Lin, noticed something strange.
That was...
He looked at the various family heads covering their faces with fearful and angry expressions.
Hmm...
Were their faces somewhat swollen??
Well, it must be mosquito bites from the summer heat.
Thinking this, Old Master Lin quietly instructed his subordinates: "Go arrange some mosquito incense. Look how swollen their faces are from the bites."
Though his voice was low,
Some people still heard it.
Their faces immediately flushed with shame, each covering their faces and lowering their heads.
Su Muwan!! You poisonous woman!!
How dare you humiliate us like this! After the banquet ends, we must all unite to condemn your Su Family!
After making the arrangements,
Old Master Lin, wearing a Tang suit, stood in front of a microphone and happily clasped his hands saying: "Welcome everyone to my birthday banquet."
"I am very touched and excited."
"Because today I have two important announcements to make."
"I hope all the representatives from the various families here will witness this with me!"
Below the stage,
Qin Luo and Su Muwan sat at a small round table covered with desserts.
Qin Luo watched with amusement as Su Muwan ate sweets, saying: "Young Miss, I think one of Old Master Lin's announcements likely concerns us."
"Oh? Why?"
Su Muwan asked curiously as she stuffed a cream puff in her mouth.
Qin Luo smiled and said, "Well, you had me save Old Master Lin's life before."
"And the Lin Family has always wanted to advance into Jiang City's upper-class families."
"So..."
"Pleasing you, Young Miss, has become key to their advancement."
"If you don't believe me... just watch."
Qin Luo hadn't forgotten the reward the system had given after saving Old Master Lin's life.
[Reward: 70% of Lin Family assets]
His eyes showed a mysterious glint - this must be what Old Master Lin wanted to announce.
Sure enough,
The next moment,
Old Master Lin announced in front of everyone: "The Lin Family officially declares that we willingly become a subsidiary family of the Su Family! We voluntarily transfer 70% of the Lin Family assets to Young Miss Su!"
As the words fell,
The Lin Family members, including Lin Wanrong, showed proud smiles.
As for the other families, some were dumbfounded, some shocked, and others regretted not thinking of this approach themselves.
*Applause erupts*
Long Xiayue sat below, still shaken. She looked contemptuously at the beaming Lin Family members.
Cursing in her heart,
Such opportunists with such short-sighted views.
If they knew the Dragon King's true identity later, they would probably regret it so much their jaws would drop!
Thinking this, Long Xiayue turned to Elder Ying and asked: "Grandfather Ying, where is the Dragon King? Have you found him?"
Long Xiayue found it strange that Xiao Tian wasn't at the banquet.
Hearing this,
Elder Ying felt puzzled. He closed his eyes to sense the entire Lin Family residence again.
Then opening his eyes, he shook his head in confusion, saying: "Young Miss, I don't know what's wrong, but I cannot sense the Dragon King's aura."
As he said this, Elder Ying was also full of questions.
By all rights, the Dragon King's cultivation level should be extremely prominent, but... why couldn't he sense it?
Qin Luo smiled as he watched Su Muwan's mouth hanging slightly open, her expression dumbfounded.
He said: "Young Miss, what did I tell you? See?"
Su Muwan's mind was buzzing.
What?
Really?
The Lin Family directly volunteered to become a subsidiary of the Su Family??
And transferred their assets to her name?
But... this never happened in her previous life.
Su Muwan was stunned - was this the butterfly effect?
But... this script wasn't quite right!
Why... why was everything going so much more smoothly than in her previous life?
Su Muwan blinked. At this rate, she would start thinking she was also chosen by fate.
How strange that everyone who was destined for greatness in her previous life was now rushing to join her side.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Su Muwan also stood up, her lips curving into a slight smile as she said: "Then this Young Miss welcomes the Lin Family under my command."
Seeing Su Muwan's agreement, Old Master Lin immediately relaxed and laughed heartily: "Thank you, Young Miss Su!"
Su Muwan nodded slightly and sat down.
Old Master Lin continued: "Additionally, this old man has a second announcement to make."
Speaking, he gestured for everyone to look at Lin Wanrong and a young man beside him.
Old Master Lin slowly said: "I'm sure everyone knows that my Wanrong married that useless son-in-law Xiao Tian."
"But... after careful consideration, this old man has discovered..."
"This Xiao Tian has truly evil intentions! He deliberately damaged my tendons and body multiple times in the hospital - his heart is truly vicious!"
"Therefore! Taking this birthday banquet as an opportunity, this old man officially announces!"
Old Master Lin pulled out a divorce agreement already signed by one party and declared: "My granddaughter... will divorce Xiao Tian!"
As the words fell,
The whole venue erupted in chaos.
Divorce?!
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?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
