Gu Yan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his large villa, watching the two figures at the edge of the yard with an amused look in his eyes.
Only after he saw Xiao Lin help Shen Wan'er into the car did he smile with satisfaction.
Very good, half of the plan was complete. Xiao Lin coming here was unexpected, but the effect turned out to be surprisingly good.
And that sedan carrying Xiao Lin - the person inside should be Bai Jun, the eldest son of the Bai family from the original story.
Excellent, the plot was progressing smoothly.
Perhaps Xiao Lin's appearance here was also due to the correction of the world's power.
After all... a sad, crying female lead slumped over the hood of a car - isn't that precisely when a male lead needs to appear to comfort her and raise her favorability?
Hehehe... this was working out nicely.
However...
Gu Yan knew that a key point for raising the favorability between the two again was...
The death of Shen Tian.
Only when Shen Tian died would Shen Wan'er's mind collapse from grief.
At that point, if Xiao Lin comforted and cared for her, he could make his way into her heart.
Of course, Shen Tian could die, but Leng Ling'er absolutely could not be involved.
After all, that would just lead back to the original plot.
Then... a grief-stricken, crying Shen Wan'er and Xiao Lin comforting her.
By that point, after some back and forth between them... Haha, just imagining the situation then almost made Gu Yan laugh out loud.
That's right, he had already made Shen Wan'er drink that potion to destroy her powers.
It was in the red wine she had downed in one gulp. Actually, just one sip would have been effective.
But unexpectedly she drank it all, and while she was crying there in her drunken state, it happened to coincide with Xiao Lin being released.
This was developing quite nicely.
Gu Yan had previously considered many plans to weaken Xiao Lin's strength.
One of them was as simple and straightforward as killing off Wang Yulan and the other female leads.
This "killing off" was meant literally - directly assassinating them.
But he quickly abandoned this idea.
First, these female leads were considered favored by fate. Even if they were killed, they might suddenly have some miraculous encounter and come back to life.
Second, many of the female leads had deep backgrounds. With his current methods and strength, he simply couldn't accomplish what he had in mind.
Third, Leng Qingqiu was still in her developmental stage. Needlessly making so many enemies would be like asking for an early death.
Moreover, simply killing the female leads wouldn't completely weaken Xiao Lin's personal strength. He would still be strong as ever.
It's worth noting that Xiao Lin being chosen as the young master of the Dragon King Palace wasn't because of his physique that was compatible with quickly cultivating the Dragon King Jade.
Rather, it was because of his pure, passionate, never-give-up spirit.
So, to attack a person, one must attack their heart.
Gu Yan planned to use these original female leads to cause irreparable... damage to Xiao Lin's heart!
After thinking all this through, Gu Yan also had ideas and plans for the next steps.
But before that.
He looked at the time - 9:30.
Hmm, perfect timing.
"Hehe~"
"Little Qingqing (づ￣3￣)づ╭❤～ I'm here to see you!!"
Gu Yan straightened his clothes, then bounced off towards the underground garage.
.........
.......
Leng Family.
In the study.
"Mmm... ugh...."
Mei Xue's face was flushed an unnatural red. She lay flat on the sofa.
Her entire body was covered by a layer of black mist.
Leng Qingqiu stood in front of her, eyes open revealing that pair of strange pupils.
In her hand, an open book called "Night" emitted an eerie black glow.
Endless black mist flowed from the book, covering Mei Xue's body.
"Master....."
Mei Xue struggled to open her eyes, looking at Leng Qingqiu while panting slightly.
The other's expression was calm, seeming to be lost in thought while treating her.
So the force used seemed a bit strong.
Mei Xue felt like she could sense endless power flowing into her body. This power entering her body all at once made her feel both euphoric and uncomfortable.
"Bear with it Mei Xue, the treatment will be over soon."
Leng Qingqiu said calmly.
The treatment time was very short, only about a minute.
But to Mei Xue, it felt like half a century had passed.
She gritted her teeth, her body trembling unnaturally.
Two forces constantly collided inside her body, churning her insides.
Finally, at the last moment.
A stream of black true qi with an even more ferocious aura devoured that golden true qi.
The treatment was over.
Mei Xue was drenched in sweat.
She also felt that the bottleneck in her cultivation had loosened a bit.
Mei Xue understood this was her master's handiwork.
"Hah... hah....."
She panted slightly, looking at Leng Qingqiu with slightly unfocused eyes: "Thank you for master's grace."
Although this treatment method was a bit strange, there was after all a task to be assigned to Mei Xue.
So the force was a bit strong, and she was also granted some Power of Night.
Leng Qingqiu believed Mei Xue would be able to break through to the next level soon.
Leng Qingqiu closed her eyes again. Fortunately, no one else was here, otherwise who knows what they might have thought she was doing.
Hearing Mei Xue's words, Leng Qingqiu nodded slightly and said, "I have a secret task to assign to you."
Mei Xue came to her senses and hurriedly stood up, kneeling on one knee: "Please instruct me, master!"
Leng Qingqiu nodded slightly, her expression also showing some unease as she said, "For the grand plan of our organization, we need the power of the Gu family."
"So Gu Yan, as the next heir, is a target our organization must have in our grasp."
"Starting from today, you will secretly follow Gu Yan and protect his safety."
At this point, she paused.
Leng Qingqiu emphasized: "Even if you die, Gu Yan cannot die."
Mei Xue's heart trembled violently. She lowered her head, her face already covered in cold sweat: "Yes!"
Why would master suddenly talk about Gu Yan?
Is it because she discovered the secret between me and Gu Yan?
No... impossible. If she had discovered what Gu Yan and I were doing in secret, I probably would have been executed before I even crawled to the door of the Night Organization.
So... master is just giving me a normal task assignment.
Realizing this, Mei Xue also had a moment of insight. No wonder master would be with Gu Yan.
It turns out it was to control the Gu family.
I see. But Gu Yan isn't as simple as he appears on the surface.
After much consideration, Mei Xue still couldn't help but mention, "Master... there's a powerful elder by Gu Yan's side..."
The implication was that Mei Xue wanted to remind Leng Qingqiu that the Gu family's background was not ordinary either.
She hoped master would be careful.
Leng Qingqiu nodded and said calmly, "I'm well aware of that."
!!!
Hearing this, Mei Xue was shocked.
At the same time, she also felt incredibly embarrassed.
Who did she think master was? How could she not know about something like this?
Master must have long known Gu Yan's true face, and was only trying to gain his trust in order to seize the Gu family. That's why she sent Mei Xue to protect Gu Yan.
This must be master's plan within a plan!
Gu Yan thinks master doesn't know his true face, but seeing her take such protective measures for him, he will surely be deeply moved.
Then master will reveal her thunderous methods at the last moment and swallow up the Gu family in one fell swoop.
As expected of master!
Looking at Leng Qingqiu, Mei Xue felt utterly inadequate. Master was truly worthy of being master.
The thoughts in her mind were simply not something subordinates like them could fathom!
She nodded again: "Yes, master! I guarantee I will complete the mission!"
Leng Qingqiu was a bit puzzled why Mei Xue was so excited, but on the surface she still calmly nodded: "Mm, go freshen up first, then secretly protect Gu Yan."
"Yes!"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years."

fe full of thrilling battles, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect his homeland and its people. Unexpectedly, he was reborn into his youth, where he encountered the campus ice queen, Ye Miyue, now working as a masseuse at his family's martial arts school. "How long have you been doing this?" "I-it's my first time..." the campus belle murmured, her head bowed. Wang Xian remembered clearly that back then, although Ye Miyue had not yet awakened her martial arts talent, her outstanding academic performance, breathtaking beauty, and icy demeanor had made her the moon goddess of every boy in school. He was no exception. In his previous life, they had no connection, never imagining they would meet under such circumstances. Sadly, today the city was attacked by an S-class beast, the 'Wind King Falcon,' destroying nearly half of the city streets. Ye Miyue had died on her way home during this disaster. Now, given a second chance, facing the campus goddess of his youth, Wang Xian resolutely decided to extend her session! And so. "My hands are tired..." the blushing campus belle whispered, relieved. Wang Xian pointed to her slender calves and said, "Who said only hands can massage? There are feet too!" "Extend the session, continue!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
