No!

I can’t give up just because of these things.

I must win over this Xue An.

Otherwise, I’m definitely going to suffer at this Immortal Gate conference!

Especially when the face of that detestable person surfaced in Shi Xueqing’s mind, it strengthened her conviction.

There’s no cat that doesn’t steal fish, and no man who doesn’t feel tempted by a beautiful woman. Shi Xueqing always believed this.

That Xue An is not the least bit interested in me, there must be a reason.

Could it be… he doesn’t like my type?

Right!

The Yu Family’s young miss is always by Xue An’s side.

Could it be that he likes those young girls who are like unripe fruits, still inexperienced and naive?

Thinking this, Shi Xueqing looked down at her well-endowed figure and couldn’t help but sigh.

Dammit, for the sake of the Immortal Gate conference, to slap that bitch’s face, I’m going all out this time!

That night, what happened at Purple Night Bar spread with terrifying speed.

Golden Dragon Martial Arts School removed their signboard overnight, and as for Cui Que… he was hacked to death by his enemies on the way back.

Only Cui Qi, who saw the opportunity and ran away that night, managed to save his life.

When Yu Ran got home, he was quickly summoned by Yu Lang.

“Recount everything in detail. Don’t leave out any details,” Yu Lang said in a deep voice.

Yu Ran then recounted the whole incident in detail.

After listening, Yu Lang frowned slightly, “Fanjing Mountain Lingying Palace? Hasn’t that sect fallen into decline a long time ago?”

At this moment, Yu Ming, who was sitting on the side, said, “Father, I know this Shi Xueqing. In the last Immortal Gate conference, she lost to me.”

“Oh? What is she like?”

Yu Ming pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “Her cultivation level is average, and she doesn’t have any particularly impressive moves, but her charm is unmatched. In the last Immortal Gate conference, many disciples from other sects were defeated by her seduction. If my sword heart hadn’t just taken shape, I too might have fallen for it.”

Yu Lang nodded and then said to Yu Ran, “Daughter, you should stick close to Mr. Xue during this time. After all, the Immortal Gate conference is about to start, and this time it’s being held here in Lingnan. And since your brother and I are both injured, if…”

Yu Lang didn’t finish his sentence.

But Yu Ran understood the meaning.

The Yu Family had also provoked many enemies over the years, and it was possible that these people would take advantage of the Immortal Gate conference to make trouble.

Their strongest fighter was dead, and both Yu Lang and Yu Ming were injured; the Yu Family was at its weakest.

So they could only place their hopes on Xue An.

Ironically, that was the reality.

Yu Ran nodded, “Yes, Father!”

But when she thought of Shi Xueqing’s enchantingly charming figure, Yu Ran felt somewhat lacking in confidence.

Early in the morning.

Ma Cheng had just gotten up when he heard someone knocking on the door.

He was puzzled.

Who would come so early?

But when he opened the door, the scene before him left him stunned.

He saw Shi Xueqing dressed in a semi-new shirt paired with vintage jeans and white sneakers, styled like the girl next door, looking very fresh and pure.

“You… you…” Ma Cheng was at a loss for words.

“Is Mr. Xue not up yet?” Shi Xueqing asked with a charming smile.

This smile made Ma Cheng freeze in place.

She’s… she’s so beautiful!

Shi Xueqing then gracefully stepped into the room.

Just then, Xue An came downstairs.

Their gazes met, and Xue An frowned slightly.

But Shi Xueqing smiled naturally, “Mr. Xue!”

Xue An came down the stairs, “What are you here for?”

Shi Xueqing smiled, “I’ve come to repay you for saving my life last night!”

“Oh? How will you repay me?” Xue An sat down, his legs resting on the coffee table.

“That depends on what you would like, sir. Whether I offer myself to you or work like an ox or horse, I am willing!” Shi Xueqing said earnestly.

Xue An suddenly looked up at Shi Xueqing, then leaned back on the sofa and said coldly, “I don’t need any of that.”

Shi Xueqing, however, was acting very familiar as she came over and started kneading Xue An’s calves ever so gently.

Just like…a maidservant from old feudal times serving her young master.

Xue An found it somewhat amusing and exasperating at the same time.

Had he saved himself a clingy piece of plaster?

But his heart, hardened by three thousand years of cultivation, was steady as a rock, so he remained undisturbed, his mind as tranquil as still water.

This did, however, evoke envy in Ma Cheng, who stood by watching.

Inside, Shi Xueqing was secretly rejoicing.

It seemed she had made the right move after all; Mr. Xue was quite fond of this approach!

But her sense of triumph evaporated in the next second.

“So, you really want to repay me?” asked Xue An, playing along.

“Of course!”

“In that case, this house does need cleaning. Start with the floors, why don’t you?”

Huh?

Shi Xueqing thought she had heard wrong.

“Remember, all the rooms!” Xue An added indifferently.

Shi Xueqing snapped out of her shock, then stood up and asked Ma Cheng, “Excuse me, where is the mop?”

“Uh… it’s right…”

At that moment, Xue An interrupted, “Use your hands to clean!”

Ten minutes later…

Shi Xueqing squatted on the ground, on the brink of tears, scrubbing the floor bit by bit.

She was, after all, a successor of the Lingying Palace, and now she was scrubbing floors for someone?

She simply could not understand what Xue An’s heart was made of.

After all, here she was, a stunning beauty throwing herself at him, and yet he remained completely unmoved!

As she wallowed in self-pity, a lazy child’s voice came from behind her.

“Daddy, who is this auntie?”

Stealing a glance behind her, Shi Xueqing saw two little girls radiating spiritual energy, rubbing their sleepy eyes and speaking to Xue An.

Were these Mr. Xue’s daughters?

Heavens! They were so adorable and pretty!

Shi Xueqing was astonished, when she heard Xue An say, “Oh, she’s the new cleaner, here to tidy up!”

That remark nearly made Shi Xueqing spit out a mouthful of blood.

Endure it!

For the greater plan, she must endure!

Shi Xueqing clenched her teeth and turned back to scrub the floor with renewed vigor.

Meanwhile.

A man and a woman walked out from Lingnan Airport.

The man was tall and handsome, and the woman petite and graceful.

The woman playfully smiled at the man, “Young Master Yuan, with the Yu Family of Lingnan weakened this time, you might surpass your previous position and even ascend to the pinnacle of the Jade List!”

Yuan Zongfeng smiled arrogantly, then pulled the woman closer, “I have to thank you for your help with your ‘Yuan Yin’ energy!”

The woman stiffened, then laughed unnaturally, “It is Yuan Dai’s honor.”

Filled with confidence, Yuan Zongfeng looked into the distance at Lingnan, “This Immortal Gate convention will belong to the Yuan Family!”

Kong Yuandai watched on, her feelings a complex mix.

She was an inheritor of the Night Demon Valley, practicing the art of demonic charm.

But to secure support from the mighty Yuan Family of Jibei, she had paid a heavy price—Yuan Zongfeng had forcibly taken away the ‘Yuan Yin’ energy she had cultivated over twenty odd years.

It greatly weakened her strength.

At that moment, Yuan Zongfeng said, “Yuandai, aren’t you at odds with the people of the Lingying Palace? At the Immortal Gate convention, I will capture all of the Lingying Palace’s members in one swoop!”

Kong Yuandai’s face lit up, “Thank you, Young Master Yuan!”

Yuan Zongfeng let out a triumphant laugh, exuding an aura of terrifying might, revealing himself to be… a Loose Immortal!

Kong Yuandai, on the other hand, had a cold look in her eyes as she silently thought.

Shi Xueqing, I’ve sacrificed so much to destroy your pride. Let’s see how you turn the tables this time!
