Night, 9:30 p.m.
Downtown Suhang City, in front of a certain nightclub.
The parking lot was packed with all kinds of luxury cars, and countless handsome men and beautiful women entered the nightclub.
Flashing lights surrounded the area, and the neon lights were dazzling.
Even the air had a tinge of alluring fragrance.
"Just do as I say later," Gu Chenan instructed a few words before putting on his sunglasses and leading the group into the nightclub.
Although Suhang City wasn't Donghai, there were still many people who recognized Gu Chenan.
To avoid unnecessary disturbance, it was better not to be recognized if possible.
Entering the nightclub.
The air was filled with the heavy scent of perfume and the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. The music was deafeningly loud, as if it would shatter the eardrums. Men and women on the dance floor were swaying their bodies, blending into the music.
Gu Chenan found a booth, ordered some drinks, and began eating watermelon from a fruit platter while waiting.
About ten minutes later, Lin Yu appeared in the nightclub.
Although the lights were dim, Gu Chenan spotted him instantly.
Lin Yu settled at a random table, ordered a cocktail, and his lecherous gaze began wandering around the women nearby.
Suddenly, Lin Yu's lecherous gaze froze, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled smugly.
A gorgeous woman wearing an ultra-short skirt, exposing half of her butt cheek, had caught his attention.
"Heh, a woman dressed like that in a nightclub must be looking to be hit on, right?"
"Well then, since you've caught my attention, I'll fulfill your wish!"
With that thought, Lin Yu picked up his cocktail and approached the woman.
From the distant booth, Gu Chenan saw the scene and curled his lip in disgust.
[Bro, your taste is really low-class, huh?]
[A vulgar woman like that actually caught your eye?]
[No wonder you're the Dragon King, I'm impressed.]
Just as Gu Chenan was questioning Lin Yu's questionable taste, a few thugs appeared on the dance floor.
They spotted the gorgeous woman from before, and before Lin Yu could reach her, the group surrounded her.
The leader was a bald man wearing a gold chain. His lecherous gaze roamed over the woman's body, and he smiled lewdly.
"Gorgeous, alone tonight?" he asked.
The beautiful woman only glanced at him and rolled her eyes. "Leave me alone."
"Oho." The bald man chuckled. "Let me buy you a drink?"
The woman turned to him and stated seriously, "No, thank you, please leave me alone!"
Upon hearing this, the thugs' expressions immediately changed.
"Hey gorgeous, no need to be so rude, huh?"
"You should ask around, everyone knows my reputation as Baldy."
"Come on, let's not drink here, let's go somewhere else."
As he spoke, a long-haired man reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist, attempting to pull her away.
"What... what are you doing?" The woman's expression turned panicked.
"What are we doing?" The group sneered. "We're going to... you!"
However, at that moment, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the long-haired man's wrist.
The newcomer was none other than Lin Yu!
He now wore a confident (arrogant) and benevolent (lecherous) smile as he looked at the gorgeous woman. "Are you alright?"
The woman blinked, a bit dazed, and shook her head.
"That's good. If you were hurt, this wouldn't end well," Lin Yu said, turning to the thugs. "You agree, right?"
The thugs were stunned by Lin Yu's sudden appearance.
They exchanged glances, then looked at Lin Yu.
"Who are you?"
Lin Yu smiled wryly and released his grip. "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that this lady has rejected you. If you know what's good for you, you'll leave right now."
"Heh, you're looking for a beating?" The bald man scoffed at Lin Yu. "Have you been reading too many novels, trying to play the hero?"
"If you don't want to get beat up, scram!" The other thugs joined in the taunting.
In an instant, they surrounded Lin Yu, as if they were about to attack any second.
"What's going on? How did that man and woman get involved with them?"
"I don't know, let's move back. That guy is probably going to get beaten up badly."
"Yeah, why did he have to mess with those guys?"
The commotion at the table drew the attention of many people. Upon recognizing the bald man's group, they quickly backed away, only observing the situation from a distance.
At that moment, Lin Yu glanced at the onlookers with his peripheral vision, knowing it was time to show off. He pulled the gorgeous woman behind himself, striking a defiant pose.
"Don't push me to fight. If you don't want to die, scram!" he boldly declared.
This statement caused a stir among the spectators.
"Who is this guy? Has he lost his mind?"
"He dares to talk to those guys like that? Isn't he afraid of dying?"
"These youngsters nowadays are so thick-headed. Doesn't he fear getting beaten to death?"
"Tsk, I think this young man is going to get half-killed!"
Hearing the onlookers' exclamations, Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was brimming with anticipation.
Yes, that's it!
Keep exclaiming, keep questioning!
The more you do that, the more shocked you'll be when I strike!
The atmosphere intensified after Lin Yu's arrogant statement.
In the booth, Gu Chenan took a sip of whiskey, then frowned.
[Damn, fake booze!]
He spat out the whiskey, then pointed at Lin Yu in the crowd. "Go, it's time."
"Whoosh!"
At Gu Chenan's command, several elite bodyguards immediately stood up and approached Lin Yu.
In the crowd.
Lin Yu's statement made the bald man and his group pause, then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, you're looking to die!"
"Yeah, don't push you to fight? What are you pretending to be?"
"I hate guys who act tough in front of women the most!"
Lin Yu smiled wryly, clenching his fists. "If you don't believe me, you can try me."
Just as Lin Yu was about to strike, the bald man's group was suddenly overwhelmed.
A fist the size of a sandbag struck Lin Yu's jaw with lightning speed.
Thud!
With a dull sound, Lin Yu, who was still recovering from his previous injuries, was instantly knocked to the ground by the single punch.
Several black-suited bodyguards surrounded Lin Yu in an instant, raining punches and kicks upon him.
The onlookers were stunned.
"What's going on?"
"Wasn't that guy acting tough, saying not to push him to fight? But he couldn't even fight back at all."
"Hahaha, this is too funny. I don't know who those black-suited guys are, but this is what happens when you talk big and fail!"
Lin Yu was utterly bewildered by the beating.
He had no idea what was happening.
The bald man and his group were equally confused.
What the hell?
Who were these people, and why did they suddenly appear?
As they pondered, their necks suddenly felt chilled as several bodyguards grabbed them by the throat and pushed them to the ground, joining in the assault with punches and kicks.
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
"What's going on?"
"Who are these black-suited people? Why are they attacking both sides?"
"I don't know, what's happening here?"
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
