“At first, my mother only had a slight cold, so he pretended to bring her medicine.”

Luo Xi bit her lip and said, "There were no problems when I first started taking it, but I later found that I couldn't stop taking this medicine. If I didn't take it for more than seven days, my mother would vomit blood and suffer from pain all over her body as if a thousand ants were gnawing at her heart."

Luo Zixi trembled with rage, her ample bosom heaving violently. "Beast! Which shameless scoundrel would resort to such despicable means!"

Luo Qimeng's eyes flashed with cold light: "No wonder your mother has refused to agree to him all these years. How dare such a despicable person talk about sincerity?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen understood.

The system guided him to find Luo Xi, clearly intending for him to rescue the mother and daughter.

If successful, she will not only gain Luo Xi's favor, but may also gain unexpected benefits through the clues left by her father.

"Xi'er, tell your uncle, who is that man?" Li Chen asked gently, as if he were about to teach a lesson to an ant that he could crush at will.

Luo Xi raised her dirty little face, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's Qin Hong, the master of Hongmen Manor."

She was also desperate when she said those words.

Although Hongmen Manor is not a top-tier power, its lord, Qin Hong, is already at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Abyss Realm, and it is said that he may break through to the Saint Realm at any time. Moreover, it is rumored that he knows some powerful Saint Realm figures, and the forces behind him are intricate and complex.

In Luo Xi's view, if he said this, his two aunts and this man, whom he would call 'uncle', would definitely show surprise and then look embarrassed.

She had seen it too many times; in this area, no one dared to offend Qin Hong.

Whenever she brings it up, those who want to help politely decline.

After all, in this world, you need influence and connections.

Qin Hong is no nobody; his strength speaks for itself.

If he's incompetent, how could he possibly host the Grand Competition of Prodigies? Who would give him the face to participate?

Surprisingly, after Luo Xi spoke, the three people in front of him showed no fear whatsoever. His new uncle's expression seemed to say, "That's all? I thought it would be much more ruthless."

Luo Qimeng stroked her niece's hair and said, "Don't worry, there is no man in this world more capable than your uncle."

She kept us in suspense here.

As Li Chen's concubine, she must understand Li Chen's meaning. Since Li Chen has not revealed his identity, she cannot say anything no matter how much she wants to.

Of course, this is related to Li Chen's statement that he came out incognito to investigate the people's conditions.

Luo Xi was completely baffled by Ke Luo Qi Meng's words and began to wonder about Li Chen's identity.

Normally, Li Chen would participate in the martial arts competition at Hongmen Manor, because the champion's 'prize' would include Luo Xi.

In Qin Hong's view, Luo Xi was just a nuisance.

If I were to marry her off, I could not only acquire a young, capable, and promising man, but also get the woman I've always dreamed of.

Some men are like that; the more unattainable something is, the more crazy it becomes for them.

But would Li Chen follow the proper procedures? Of course not.

At this level, he doesn't need to follow the rules; he's the one who sets them.

On the other hand, today is the last day to register for the Tianjiao Grand Competition.

Jun Zhantian wrote his name in a flourish at the registration desk.

He was surrounded by five stunning beauties, attracting the attention of the surrounding cultivators.

"Young master, may I ask who your master is?" the Hongmen Manor disciple in charge of registration asked cautiously.

Jun Zhantian smiled contemptuously: "You are not worthy to know."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the registration plaza. Immediately, a commotion erupted around him.

The disciples of Hongmen Manor were even more stunned. "Brother, I didn't provoke you. You're showing off right in front of me?"
"Arrogant outsider, do you really think there are no strong people in the East?!"

"You're so arrogant! I'll make you pay in the ring!"

Jun Zhantian ignored these comments and instead deliberately put his arm around Qiu Qingxia's slender waist, whispering a few words in her ear, which made the girl's pretty face blush.

This intimate gesture made the young cultivators extremely envious.

You know, there are always more wolves than meat when it comes to beautiful women, and Jun Zhantian has so many of them, how can they not be angry?

That's not all. Jun Zhantian even declared that everyone present should remember that in any competition he participates in, everyone else is there to compete for second place.

In the eastern part of the Tian Ce Dynasty, his reputation was so great that he was embarrassed to pretend otherwise.

It's different here; not many people know him, so he's just trying to act tough.

His words were like a bomb, instantly igniting the entire room.

Dozens of hostile gazes shot towards them, and some hot-tempered cultivators even drew their swords.

If it weren't for the people maintaining order, they probably would have started fighting.

Jun Zhantian wanted this effect; he wasn't afraid of one-on-one battles or group battles, he was only afraid that the opponent wouldn't dare to fight.

On his territory, few dared to make a move upon hearing the name of Jun Zhantian; how boring.

Having finally caught this opportunity to show off, Jun Zhantian certainly wouldn't let it slip by.

He was more excited than anyone for the start of the competition. It was said that the winner would receive an extra prize: Qin Hong's stunning daughter.

Jun Zhantian had never met Qin Hong's daughter, but judging from the appearance of Qin Hong's 'wife,' he knew that the daughter couldn't be too bad off.

Jun Zhantian had no interest in becoming the son-in-law of Hongmen Manor, but he could accept a beauty like her.

For some reason, Jun Zhantian felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at Qin Hong's wife, as she resembled his own mother in some ways.

Speaking of his mother, Jun Zhantian suddenly remembered that after she left that day, she said she was coming to Luoshui Manor.

Once I'm done with my work, I'll try to find out the location of Luoshui Villa myself.

However, none of these things are important. What is important is that it was the first time that he and his father had gone out to gain experience.

Jun Zhantian was so excited because he wanted to show off his skills in front of his father.

As for why it wasn't about demonstrating unparalleled strength?
If you asked Jun Zhantian, he would arrogantly reply: "Does my strength need to be questioned?"
Meanwhile, undercurrents were also swirling within Qiuyue Manor.

With the young people all going out to register, the manor owner, Qiu Zuo, finally had some free time.

He was so busy the past few days that he didn't even have a chance to have dinner with his wife and daughter.

Now that he's back, he's prepared to make amends, and he even bought some of his wife's favorite jewelry.

But when he returned, he found that his wife had just come out of Jun Wu Hui's room!

His expression was somewhat abnormal, shifting between worry, joy, and guilt.

Oh no, I've been away from home for so many days, what if something happened to me?

But at this crucial moment, Qiu Zuo shamelessly hid to the side.

It felt as if Jun Wu Hui was Yu Jing's husband, and that she wasn't.

He slapped himself and muttered, "I'm the owner of this place, why am I hiding?"
