A pink McLaren was cruising down Donghai's main boulevard, basking in the warm sunlight and gentle breeze.
Su Qianmo kept stealing glances at Gu Chenan, her lips curling into a smile each time she looked at him.
"When... when are you leaving?" Su Qianmo asked softly after a long silence.
Gu Chenan pondered for a moment: "Probably... in a month?"
He wasn't sure.
Cao Mang would definitely come looking for him, but he didn't know when.
"Will you come back after you leave?" Su Qianmo bit her red lip lightly, a hint of sadness in her voice.
Gu Chenan was taken aback. He turned to look at Su Qianmo.
"I-I'll come back."
"That's good." Su Qianmo nodded, her gaze determined as she said, "When you come back next time, let's get married, shall we?"
Gu Chenan was stunned.
"You... you don't want to?" Su Qianmo pursed her lips.
"I want to, of course I want to." Gu Chenan's tone was urgent, but then he suddenly deflated: "But I'm afraid..."
He didn't finish the sentence.
Su Qianmo knew what Gu Chenan was worried about. She turned to face him: "Chenan, you don't need to worry about anything else. Whatever the outcome, I'm willing to entrust everything to you."
Gu Chenan's eyes trembled as he took a deep breath: "Alright, when I come back next time, let's get married."
...
Time flew by, and three days passed.
During these three days since his return, Gu Chenan had met up once with Ye Wenfei and the others, but spent the rest of his time with Su Qianmo.
Whether in the original plot or now, Su Qianmo was undoubtedly the leading female protagonist.
Today, after Su Qianmo went to her company, Gu Chenan found himself bored and drove to the Tang family residence.
"How long have you been back?"
Tang Yunjin, dressed in tight jeans and a pure white t-shirt, brought tea and placed it in front of Gu Chenan.
"Two or three days," Gu Chenan said, taking a sip of tea.
"From Suhang?" Tang Yunjin asked.
Gu Chenan shook his head: "Yanjing."
"Yan..."
Hearing this, Tang Yunjin looked at Gu Chenan in shock: "You came back from Yanjing?"
"Yes, why?" Gu Chenan nodded.
"N-nothing," Tang Yunjin shook her head.
Gu Chenan took another sip of tea in confusion, when suddenly a thought struck him.
[Damn, how could I forget that little Tang sister's parents are still with some big family in Yanjing?]
[If I remember correctly, it's the Lu Family in Yanjing, right?]
As mentioned before, in the original plot, Tang Yunjin's parents lost to their opponents in a martial arts competition in Yanjing.
According to the pre-match agreement, Tang Yunjin's parents became the other party's retainers, which could be understood as subordinates who obeyed orders.
Both parties agreed that the heirs of their respective clans would have a match two years later. If the Tang family's heir could defeat the opponent, then Tang Yunjin's parents could return to Donghai.
If not, they would continue to be the other party's lackeys.
[Damn, how could I have forgotten about this?]
Gu Chenan felt extremely awkward.
Hearing Gu Chenan's inner thoughts, Tang Yunjin's face turned black.
Damn, this disciple of mine is really ungrateful, he can't even remember his master's difficulties!
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have taught him our family's medical skills back then!
"Hmph!"
The more Tang Yunjin thought about it, the angrier she became. She suddenly crossed her arms and turned her head away.
Gu Chenan was also very embarrassed.
After going to Yanjing, he had been staying with the organization, his mind full of thoughts on how to deal with Lin Yu and Cao Mang, and he completely forgot about other matters.
Although he called Tang Yunjin "little Tang sister," she was still his master after all.
"Little Tang sister, don't be angry. I'll take care of your parents' matter," Gu Chenan said with a forced smile.
Tang Yunjin glanced at Gu Chenan and rolled her eyes: "At least you have a conscience!"
Gu Chenan shrugged, unsure of what to say.
Seeing Gu Chenan's expression, Tang Yunjin couldn't help but laugh.
Without Gu Chenan, she would have no chance of rescuing her parents.
Only with Gu Chenan around did she feel that her parents would return soon.
"Do you have any plans later?" Tang Yunjin asked.
"No, why?"
Tang Yunjin shook her head: "Nothing, just asking."
Gu Chenan gave her a sidelong glance: "You're being weird."
"Hmph! Can't I even ask?"
"Of course you can, you're my little Tang sister after all," Gu Chenan teased.
Hearing this, Tang Yunjin's cheeks immediately turned red: "Who-who's yours? Don't talk nonsense!"
As evening fell, the sun was setting.
The main gate of the Tang family residence opened.
Gu Chenan and Tang Yunjin walked out.
"Don't see me off, go back inside," Gu Chenan said to Tang Yunjin as they stood outside the gate.
"You... you..." Tang Yunjin seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, she said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chenan asked.
Tang Yunjin took a deep breath: "If you have time, maybe you could come visit me. I don't have many friends and I don't have much to do, it's very boring."
Gu Chenan was slightly taken aback.
"Sure, sure."
"Mm, then you should go now." Tang Yunjin's face turned red as she quickly walked back inside and closed the gate.
Gu Chenan stood there in a daze for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and smiled.
...
At the Liu family residence.
"Miss, Young Master Gu has returned," a bodyguard in a black suit reported to Liu Mingrui, who was sweating profusely on a treadmill in the main hall.
Hearing this, Liu Mingrui raised an eyebrow and immediately stepped off the treadmill.
"When did this happen?" she asked, casually grabbing a towel to wipe off her sweat.
The black-suited bodyguard took out several photos from his inner pocket: "About two or three days ago."
Liu Mingrui's eyes narrowed: "Why am I only hearing about this now if it happened two or three days ago!"
"I apologize, Miss. It's my negligence."
Liu Mingrui took the photos and looked at them, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
The first few photos were of Gu Chenan with Su Qianmo, which wasn't a problem.
But the later photos showed Gu Chenan entering the Tang family residence during the day and only leaving in the evening.
Seeing this, Liu Mingrui couldn't contain herself anymore.
Tang Yunjin...
Such a long time at the Tang residence, a man and a woman alone...
Bang!
Liu Mingrui slammed her fist on the coffee table.
Well, well, Gu Chenan, you didn't tell me when you came back last time, and now you're not telling me again!
Last time it was with Hoshino Kannon, this time it's with Tang Yunjin, are you some kind of playboy? Changing women so quickly?
"I understand. You may go now."
"Yes, Miss!"
As soon as the bodyguard left, Liu Mingrui picked up the photos and looked at them again and again.
Her fingers gripped the photos tightly, applying more and more pressure until her fingertips turned slightly white.
Finally, she stood up and walked into the bathroom.
Damn it, I'm going to take a shower and then find Gu Chenan!
...
Meanwhile, at the Gu residence.
Bai Yutian was still in Suhang, and Ma Bing had gone to Yanjing, so the Gu household was extremely boring now.
Gu Chenan sat on the sofa downstairs, taking big gulps from a bottle of beer.
Back then, he thought Bai Yutian and Hoshino Kannon were troublesome, but now...
He glanced at Bai Yutian's room.
How he wished the door would suddenly open, and Bai Yutian would come out rubbing her eyes, asking if he wanted some chicken soup.
Or Hoshino Kannon climbing in through his bedroom window to ambush him again...
"Sigh."
Gu Chenan let out a sigh and took another big gulp of beer.
"Cao Mang, hurry up and come find me. After I kill you, I'll go bring all these female leads back."
"Even if I have to leave this novel's world, I should leave surrounded by the female leads."
"The current situation makes me feel particularly lonely..."
Gu Chenan sighed.
At the same time, a silver-white Porsche Panamera was driving towards the Gu residence.

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
