Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

The resentment and unwillingness hidden in Lin Xuanxuan's eyes were naturally unknown to Luo Lingtian and his group. However, as a transmigrator who had been immersed in online novels for many years and had personally experienced this urban world that combined multiple settings, Luo Lingtian had long understood the thoughts of the villainous female supporting characters in these kinds of novels about true and false rich girls.

His fingertips unconsciously traced the edge of the car window, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant, like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, disappearing without a ripple.

If Lin Xuanxuan is sensible and stays quietly in the Lin family, he naturally won't bother with her. But if she dares to be so arrogant and cause trouble, then he won't hesitate to use ruthless methods to make her understand what the real difference in strength is.

The atmosphere inside the car wasn't exactly lively, but it wasn't awkward either.

Luo Yuntian sat sideways in the chair, his posture as upright as a pine tree. His usual carefree attitude had been somewhat toned down, and his gaze towards Lin Ruoxue carried a hint of tenderness and accommodation.

Lin Ruoxue lowered her eyes slightly, her long, thick eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyelids. Her fingertips gently twisted the hem of her skirt, and her face still held a hint of bewilderment and relief after leaving the Lin family. Occasionally, she would raise her eyes to meet Luo Yuntian's gaze, but then quickly look away, a faint blush rising at the base of her ears.

Luo Lingtian saw all of this and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

He originally intended to dispel the fog of that inexplicable power, develop quietly in this world, and remain a spectator, but he never expected that in just a few days, he would be entangled in the plot of the real and fake heiresses in the female-oriented novel.

However, upon further reflection, this mere female-oriented plot was nothing more than a trivial matter that he could easily resolve with a flick of his wrist. With his current strength and the hidden forces behind him, dealing with a small Lin family in a neighboring city would be a piece of cake, requiring no further effort.

What truly concerned him was the storyline in Haishi related to Dragon King Xiao Chen.

Unlike the unexpected entanglement with the Lin family, Xiao Chen, a highly aggressive Dragon King, will inevitably clash with his opponent as soon as he is not suppressed or completely eliminated.

Luo Lingtian leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and pondered. The Dragon King in male-oriented novels was not like the so-called big shots in female-oriented novels.

The strong characters in female-oriented novels often start at the top and may have a ruthless side, but once they fall in love, their aggressiveness diminishes significantly. As long as they are not provoked, they will usually restrain their sharpness.

But the Dragon Kings in male-oriented novels are different. They are ambitious and extremely aggressive. Once they control a city, they will set their sights on a wider world, from other cities to the whole country, and even the whole world, and want to bring them under their control.

Moreover, in terms of sheer fighting prowess, most male protagonists, supporting characters, or villains in female-oriented novels, even with powerful backgrounds and outstanding business acumen, are simply not in the same league as a Dragon King like Xiao Chen when it comes to their lack of martial ethics.

"However, there's no need to rush." ​​Luo Lingtian slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. "That Zhao Hao is definitely not a simple character. This is probably not an ordinary Dragon King novel, but more likely a villainous Dragon King story. Perhaps Xiao Chen won't even have a chance to rise to power."

Night quietly descended, enveloping the entire world in tranquility.

The streets of Haishi are brightly lit, neon lights flash, and cars flow like a river, outlining the bustling outline of this city.

Luo Lingtian's convoy drove in a grand procession on the asphalt road, the roar of the engines drowned out by the city's hustle and bustle. Before long, they returned smoothly from the neighboring city to Lingtian Manor in Hai City.

The car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the manor. Everyone got out of the car one after another. Luo Lingtian stepped into the living room first. The air was filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance, which made people unconsciously calm down.

He walked over to the sofa and sat down. The butler immediately came forward and poured him a cup of warm Biluochun tea. The aroma of the tea was fragrant and refreshing.

Just as Luo Lingtian picked up his teacup, preparing to take a sip, his phone suddenly vibrated, breaking the silence in the living room.

"Hmm? Who would call me at this time?" Luo Lingtian raised an eyebrow, took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID. The name "Mo Yu" was particularly eye-catching on the screen. He couldn't help but chuckle. "That's strange, this guy actually called me at this time."

He swiped the screen to answer the call, and Mo Yu's slightly teasing chuckle immediately came from the other end: "Heh, Luo Lingtian, your convoy is too conspicuous. Driving all the way from the neighboring city back to Hai City in a grand procession, it's hard not to attract attention. I'm just curious, what's the follow-up to Yun Tian's matter?"

Luo Lingtian glanced at the people in the living room. Luo Yuntian was sitting next to Lin Ruoxue, whispering something to comfort her. Lin Ruoxue nodded slightly, looking much more relaxed than before.

A meaningful smile played on his lips as he spoke into the phone, "What happened next? If you want to know, you should ask Yun Tian yourself."

He handed his phone to Luo Yuntian, his tone calm: "It's Mo Yu on the phone, asking about the follow-up." Luo Yuntian paused for a moment, then took the phone and laughed into the other end, "Brother Mo Yu, this matter has been resolved satisfactorily..."

Luo Lingtian withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Qin Qingcheng sitting beside him. Today, she was wearing a red dress that accentuated her snow-white skin and beautiful features. She was holding a teacup and sipping her tea with an elegant and composed demeanor.

Luo Lingtian looked at her, his tone gentle and filled with sincere gratitude: "Qingcheng, thank you for today."

Qin Qingcheng put down her teacup, looked up at Luo Lingtian, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, and said casually and naturally, "What are you thanking me for? I am your fiancée, and Yuntian is your younger brother, which means he is my younger brother as well. It is only right that I help him."

Despite this, Qin Qingcheng couldn't help but think to herself: This guy really knows how to put on an act. If I didn't have memories from my past life and know his background, I probably would have been fooled by his gentle and humble appearance and thought that he really needed my help to solve the Lin family's problems.

Even without her, the little princess of the Qin family in Kyoto, stepping in, Luo Lingtian, with her strength and methods, could easily deal with the Lin family in a neighboring city without revealing her true identity.

Of course, this "not being exposed" is only relative. After the Lin family was dealt with, it is inevitable that people will speculate about the mastermind behind it, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will associate it with Luo Lingtian or the Luo family.

By then, the Lin family would probably have fallen into complete decline. Even if they guessed the truth, they wouldn't have the courage or the strength to spread it, and would have to swallow their pride and suffer in silence.

Qin Qingcheng's gaze inadvertently fell on Lin Ruoxue. At this moment, Lin Ruoxue no longer had the bewilderment she had when she first left the Lin family. However, she still carried a bit of restraint when facing Luo Yuntian. Occasionally, she would be amused by Luo Yuntian and would reveal a slight smile. The gloom between her brows and eyes had also dissipated a lot.

Seeing this scene, Qin Qingcheng felt much more at ease, and she recalled her past life.

In her previous life, due to the influence of that inexplicable force, she was unable to be with Luo Lingtian, and instead devoted herself to Xiao Chen.

Initially, she didn't pay much attention to the Luo family, but later, as the powerful forces hidden behind Luo Lingtian were gradually exposed and Xiao Chen and Luo Lingtian inevitably clashed, she began to focus on everything about the Luo family and learned a lot about their situation.

Qin Qingcheng clearly remembered that in her previous life, Lin Ruoxue and Luo Yuntian had absolutely no connection.

But now, Lin Ruoxue has become Luo Yuntian's fiancée. This huge change has rekindled a glimmer of hope in Qin Qingcheng's heart.

Does this mean that the mysterious force controlling her fate is not irresistible?

Can she really break free from the influence of that force and rewrite the tragic ending of herself and the Qin family in their past lives?

However, Qin Qingcheng also knew that she couldn't be 100% sure about this yet. All the answers would only be revealed after the Yu family matriarch's birthday banquet.

In her previous life, she first met Xiao Chen at that banquet. From that moment on, she seemed to be controlled by some invisible force, breaking off her engagement with Luo Lingtian and walking step by step toward Xiao Chen, ultimately ending up in a tragic state.

If she wanted to avoid Xiao Chen, it wasn't impossible, after all, she was still full of apprehension about the so-called "protagonist halo".

But then she thought, unless she stayed in Lingtian Manor for the rest of her life and never left the house, she would eventually run into Xiao Chen.

Since that's the case, instead of constantly running away, it's better to face it proactively. Besides, with Luo Lingtian by my side, it should be much safer.

The novel she had seen in Luo Lingtian's study during the day involuntarily came to Qin Qingcheng's mind. Although she had only read a small part of it and had not finished it, she had a general understanding of its setting.

If the so-called "protagonist halo" really exists, then there should also be people who can resist or even break through this halo.

She carefully recalled the events of her previous life and quickly thought of several people: Dongfang Mingyue, who was never affected by Xiao Chen's "protagonist halo" and always stood firmly by Luo Lingtian's side; Yang Shiyu from the Yang family and Wenren Yajing from the Wen family, who also always maintained their own identities and were not misled by Xiao Chen.

In terms of status and position, Qin Qingcheng believed she was no less than them, and even slightly better. In terms of appearance and figure, she was in no way inferior, and even slightly superior.

Yet, she alone was manipulated by that inexplicable force, committing the foolish act of betraying Luo Lingtian. Why was that?

Qin Qingcheng had always had this question in her mind. She absolutely refused to believe that it was her true nature. After all, at that time, Xiao Chen was just a lowly security guard on the surface, yet he was still at Yu Bingyu's beck and call.

Luo Lingtian, in terms of appearance, character, and family background, is far superior to Xiao Chen.

She's not some ungrateful wretch; how could she possibly give up such an excellent fiancé as Luo Lingtian and instead compete for a security guard who is inferior to him in every way?

Based on what was later learned, Mo Yu, Ye Fan, and Luo Lingtian were all extremely powerful, and the forces behind them were in no way inferior to Xiao Chen's Dragon King Palace.

Qin Qingcheng gradually formed a guess in her mind: perhaps only those with sufficient personal strength or with a powerful force behind them could withstand the influence of the "protagonist's halo".
