Jiang City, Commercial Street.
A mighty procession attracted everyone’s gaze.
They were dressed in uniform black suits, carrying large and small fashion shopping bags in their hands.
At the head, Qin Luo wore a black trench coat and a pair of black leather gloves, with a faint smile on his face.
His entire being exuded a strong aura of elegance and ease.
After an hour of violent shopping, Qin Luo and his group had almost swept through every luxury store on the commercial street.
Their purchasing method was basically to glance at something and then tell the clerk to wrap it all up.
Shen Fei walked to the right and slightly behind Qin Luo, speaking respectfully, “Brother Luo, where to next?”
Where to?
Qin Luo pondered upon hearing this.
In the original story, Su Muwan seemed to enjoy collecting antiques, ancient books, or scrolls.
In that case, he’d use the card she gave him to hunt for something nice.
And as this thought arose in Qin Luo’s mind, a mechanical voice followed.
『Quest released: Antique City “The Miracle Doctor Descends the Mountain” plot!』
『Host, thoroughly humiliate the Chosen One “Wang Yong”!!』
『Quest reward: Taixuan Thirteen Needles + Xuantie Silver Needle Set!!!』
As the voice sounded in his mind,
Qin Luo’s expression froze for a moment.
Ah?
Another protagonist already?
System, are you so ruthless? Su Muwan just provoked a Dragon King, and now we have to provoke a miracle doctor who descended from the mountain??
Such… such…
Such wonderful timing!
Qin Luo curled his lips, snapped his fingers, and chuckled, “Let’s head to Antique City. I’ll buy a gift to take back to Eldest Miss.”
Sorry, Eldest Miss~ Anyway, in the original story, you already provoked this bunch of protagonists~
As your follower, I’m just making you provoke them a little earlier~~
…
…
Half an hour later.
Jiang City, Antique Guild.
A swift and fierce beautiful figure strode ahead, holding a luxury handbag.
Behind her followed a man with a sullen face, full of helplessness.
Seeming to notice the man was too slow, the woman stopped, turned around, and scolded with dissatisfaction, “Wang Yong, can’t you walk any faster?!”
“I set my sights on an old item at the Antique Guild that I’ve been eyeing for a long time. If someone else snatches it away, I’ll hold you responsible!”
As she spoke, the woman complained, “I don’t know why Dad insisted on making you my bodyguard. You don’t look like anything special!”
With that, she tossed her hair and strode forward again.
Wang Yong frowned in frustration at the sight, but bound by his master’s instructions, he helplessly followed.
I, Wang Yong, am known in the trade as the Ghost Immortal “Yama”.
My skills in medicine and poison have made countless people tremble in fear.
Even strong practitioners at the late Established realm give me a wide berth!
But now, because of a marriage contract from my master, I have to be the bodyguard for Jiang Xueqi, President of the Jiang Group.
But well…
Watching Jiang Xueqi’s figure swaying ahead, heh heh, Jiang Xueqi is quite good-looking.
And she’s actually an Innate Poison Body, which can only be cultivated through special methods.
If I dual-cultivate with her, my poison arts will break through to Great Achievement!
Wang Yong wiped his drool and thought, Don’t worry, big bro will protect you well so no one else can take you!
…
…
Meanwhile.
At the Antique Guild.
The owner, a middle-aged man in a tunic suit, wiped his sweat and smiled apologetically at the young man before him. “Th… that, Lord Qin, this vase has already been reserved by someone else.”
“Oh?”
Qin Luo picked up the vase and smiled faintly at the shopkeeper after hearing this.
He looked at the shopkeeper and said kindly, “Shopkeeper Xu, what you’re saying is… you want to oppose my young lady?”
Shopkeeper Xu’s face twitched, and he quickly lowered his head, trembling, “No… that’s not what I meant.”
“It’s just… this vase, left behind by a Great Achievement realm expert, was reserved by Miss Jiang of the Jiang family in Jiang City. If you take it, I’m afraid it will cause trouble between our two families…”
Before he could finish,
Qin Luo’s expression darkened. He looked coldly at Shopkeeper Xu and said in a cold voice, “Hmph! What do you mean by that?”
“Do you mean my young lady is afraid of that Jiang Xueqi from the Jiang family?!”
“Let me tell you! Even if Jiang Xueqi stood right in front of me, I’d still take this vase back to my young lady!”
At these words,
Shopkeeper Xu was completely at a loss. He wiped his sweat, thinking, When did this Jiang City terror have such an unreasonable follower?
Or is this truly the will of that Su Family lady?
But… if I actually let him take it, this shop’s reputation would be severely damaged.
What should he do now?
Just as Shopkeeper Xu was at his wit’s end, a crisp voice came from outside: “Uncle Xu, where’s the vase I reserved?”
As the voice fell,
Shopkeeper Xu’s face lit up with joy.
Qin Luo also turned to look at the door.
There, a beautiful woman walked in. Behind her was a person dressed in simple clothes, with a lecherous look in his eyes.
『Detected Chosen One: Wang Yong!』
『Host, begin your performance!』
As the system’s voice ended,
Qin Luo confirmed the identity of the newcomer.
The miracle doctor Wang Yong.
And…
Qin Luo held the vase and smiled lightly at Jiang Xueqi, “Miss, I think the one you’re looking for is this vase in my hand.”
Hearing a handsome man call out to her, Jiang Xueqi turned her head.
When she saw the vase in his hand, her expression changed. She looked at Shopkeeper Xu and said, “Uncle Xu, did you sell this vase to someone else?”
Shopkeeper Xu quickly shook his head, distanced himself, and said bitterly, “No, Uncle Xu prepared it for you, of course. But… but Miss Su also took a fancy to it.”
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Xu deliberately glanced at Qin Luo, then sighed and shook his head.
Jiang Xueqi’s tightly furrowed brow instantly relaxed. She understood.
Then she calmly looked at Qin Luo, reached out her hand, and said, “Handsome, I advise you to behave and hand it over obediently, since this was my reservation.”
“If you don’t want to offend our Jiang family, then don’t do anything that ruins your future.”
“Whoever is behind you probably can’t protect you either!”
Jiang Xueqi was very confident. Her Jiang family was a dominant force in Jiang City.
Even the equally powerful Su family wouldn’t dare provoke them easily!
Wang Yong also watched Qin Luo with interest.
He knew the Jiang family’s strength; in all of Jiang City, no one dared to offend Jiang Xueqi.
This dog-leg of the Su family’s young lady would probably obediently…
But the next second.
Qin Luo’s originally smiling expression instantly turned cold. He opened his mouth and said, “Who do you think you are? You’re not worthy of buying a vase that matches my young lady’s!”
“Jiang Xueqi, let me tell you, no matter who comes today, it won’t work. My young lady has never had to give back something she wants!”
“My young lady doesn’t even put a small family like the Jiang family in her eyes, let alone a waste like you, Jiang Xueqi, who can’t even practice martial arts!”
As his voice fell,
Shopkeeper Xu gasped, looking at Qin Luo in disbelief.
Jiang Xueqi’s expression stiffened, her outstretched hand frozen in midair.
Wang Yong was also stunned. Huh?
This guy… actually dared to insult Jiang Xueqi like that to her face? Does he not want to live?
Or is all this the idea of the person behind him?
Eldest Miss of the Su Family… Just as the rumors say, she’s an arrogant and domineering person.
If even her follower is this arrogant, then how much more rampant must Eldest Miss Su be?
…
…
Su Family, Main Residence.
“!!!”
Su Muwan, who had been chatting with her parents, suddenly shuddered.
She lifted her head abruptly, looking around in surprise.
What’s going on?
Why did a sudden chill rush through me?
Could it be that something happened on Qin Luo’s side?
Uh… probably not. Don’t scare yourself.
“Muwan? What’s wrong?”
“Heh, it’s nothing. Let’s continue talking about me wanting to take over the family business as soon as possible.”
Su Muwan smiled on the surface, but inside, she was gradually growing uneasy.
Over at Qin Luo’s side… nothing should have happened, right?
Why do I feel a cold, sinking sensation?
