The older sister is the final villain.

According to the background setting of "Shenzhou", Lin Xiwan grew up in the mountains and lived with an old nun. After the old nun passed away, she returned to the Chu King's Mansion with her little maid.

In the Chu King's mansion, she was practically invisible.

Lin Xiwan's birth mother is a mystery. Although the Prince of Chu recognized her as his legitimate daughter, no one in the Prince's mansion, from top to bottom, treated her as a true legitimate daughter. The Prince of Chu himself was stationed in the northern frontier for many years and was not at home, so he could not take care of this daughter.

A year later, the Chu Prince's mansion suffered a devastating blow. People died or scattered, and Lin Xiwan disappeared without a trace. Apart from the Chu Prince, no one cared about her, and no one knew that she was the source of all the calamities.

After recalling the game's plot, Lin Changqing began to peruse his predecessor's memories.

A few days ago, the original owner's grandmother, Old Madam Ye, caught him fooling around outside, so she confined him to his quarters and punished him by making him prepare to receive Lin Xiwan.

The original owner harbored resentment and had no affection for that wild older sister. Instigated by his stepmother and the stepmother's lackey, Steward Xu, he decided to teach that wild older sister a lesson.

He himself didn't know the exact color; his predecessor had simply asked Butler Xu to arrange it.

Judging from Steward Xu's expression, that show of force must have been quite impressive, and Lin Changqing felt like his death knell was flashing.

The final boss has gone home. Should I give her a taste of her power? Will I even survive?

He hurriedly reached out to grab Steward Xu, trying to quickly stop the show of force, but just then, the carriage arrived at the door, and Steward Xu went to greet it.

Lin Changqing quickly followed.

A carriage stopped in front of the magnificent gate of the Chu King's Palace on the road paved with bluestone bricks.

The carriage was simple and old, pulled by a listless old horse, and driven by a thin, frail maidservant, who was poor and down on her luck.

The welcoming party was large, but apart from Lin Changqing, there was no master among them. If Lin Changqing hadn't made a mistake a few days ago and been punished by the old lady, he wouldn't have come out to greet them.

This scene alone reveals Lin Xiwan's status in the Chu Prince's mansion.

It was precisely because his older sister was not valued that his predecessor listened to instigation and decided to give her a hard time. He was just arrogant, not stupid.

Little did the original owner know that the person inside the carriage was the most formidable person in the entire Divine Continent!

Steward Xu stood beside the carriage, and Lin Changqing didn't dare to approach and ask, lest Lin Xiwan inside the carriage hear him. He could only brace himself, scanning his surroundings, trying to figure out where Steward Xu might make his move.

The blue curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the figure that Lin Changqing had only seen on the screen came into reality.

The carriage was positioned at a moderate height above the ground. One maid stepped forward to support the princess's arm as she returned home, while another maid brought over a stool for the princess to step on.

The treadmill is six inches high, made of nanmu wood, and has a carved surface, making it both beautiful and practical. When getting off the carriage, stepping onto the treadmill first makes it easier and safer to step onto the ground.

However, there is a small crack on the back of this stool. It is fine on ordinary days, but it will break if a heavy object is placed on it.

The moment the girl stepped onto the horse stool in the carriage, the crack widened rapidly, and with a snap, the stool split in two. The girl swayed and fell forward.

Steward Xu had anticipated this; this was the show of force he had prepared. To fall and stumble at the very doorstep on his first day back home, under the watchful eyes of a group of servants, would surely be a huge loss of face.

He lowered his head, pretending he hadn't noticed, and pricked up his ears, waiting to hear the sound of him falling.

Before any sound could be heard, a figure rushed past him and caught the unsteady man.

Butler Xu looked up in surprise at Lin Changqing in front of him.

The older sister's body was very soft, with a cool fragrance, and the skin on the back of her neck was like white jade. Lin Changqing was not bewitched by this beautiful body; his body was stiff and his heart was tense.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stepped in to catch Lin Xiwan, preventing the show of force from becoming a reality.

He thought to himself, "This older sister is really good at pretending." He didn't know how high Lin Xiwan's cultivation level was now, but he figured she was already an incredibly powerful expert. How could she possibly fall over because of a simple stool?

If I hadn't caught her, she would have fallen to the ground!

Thinking of this, Lin Changqing felt a chill run down his spine. She truly was a pure villain, a cold-blooded killer; this woman was ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to herself.

If it were Lin Changqing, even if he wanted to hide his identity, he wouldn't deliberately fall down, losing face and becoming a laughingstock.

He helped Lin Xiwan to her feet, saying, "Be careful, sister."

Beside the carriage, two maids immediately knelt down and begged Lin Changqing for forgiveness. Steward Xu stepped forward, pretended to reprimand them, and told them to leave.

"Are you my brother?" Lin Xiwan's gaze fell on Lin Changqing's face.

"Sister, you can just call me Changqing." Lin Changqing tried his best to smile and be friendly. "Sister, you must be tired after your long journey. Please come inside."

As he spoke, he took Lin Xiwan's wrist and walked into the mansion.

The servants knelt on both sides, keeping this scene of deep affection between the siblings in their hearts.

Steward Xu followed the two, hesitant to speak. He wondered what had gotten into the young prince; his attitude had suddenly changed. What was supposed to be a show of force had become a stepping stone for his heroic rescue of his sister!

This change in attitude had nothing to do with Steward Xu. What worried Steward Xu was that making things difficult for Lin Xiwan was Madam's mission, and now that the mission was not completed, he could not get any favors from Madam.

Lin Changqing didn't care what Butler Xu did. If it weren't for his stepmother and Butler Xu's instigation, he wouldn't have thought of giving Lin Xiwan a hard time.

If he weren't afraid of Lin Xiwan finding out, he would have definitely given Butler Xu a beating; he would remember this grudge.

Supporting Lin Xiwan, he introduced the Chu Prince's Mansion all the way, passing through courtyard after courtyard, until they arrived at the backyard where his grandmother lived.

In the backyard house, the masters had all arrived.

The incense offerings at the Chu King's mansion were meager, and only five people were sitting on the armchairs inside.

Sitting in the main seat on the grand chair was Lin Changqing's grandmother, the Dowager Lady Ye Cijun of the Chu Prince's Mansion. Below her were Lin Changqing's second uncle, second aunt, stepmother, and concubine. The concubine was his father's concubine.

Old Madam Ye stood up, smiled and asked Lin Changqing to sit down. She only glanced at Lin Xiwan and asked a few simple questions, her tone distant and cold.

Following proper etiquette, Lin Xiwan greeted each of the elders in the room.

Like Old Madam Ye, the others were indifferent and only maintained the bare minimum of courtesy.

Lin Changqing sat to the side, watching with trepidation.

Ironically, these elders with their indifferent attitudes actually have the right to be indifferent.

Although the Chu King's Mansion was small, it was a place where hidden talents abounded. On the game forums of "Shenzhou," players jokingly referred to the Chu King's Mansion as a talent training center, suggesting that "Shenzhou" should be renamed "The Biography of the Chu King's Mansion," as this family produced many later famous figures.

Unfortunately, Lin Changqing was not among these renowned experts.

Lin Changqing is just a minor villain in the early stages, used to oppose the player and be introduced into the Chu Prince's Mansion so that the player can become familiar with these important characters in the mid-to-late stages, which will help to develop the story later.

In short, in the story, Lin Changqing is just a pimp.

A month after the story begins, a major upheaval occurs in the Chu Prince's mansion. Lin Changqing dies at the hands of demonic forces and is immediately removed from the story. The others, including Lin Xiwan, are scattered across the continent, each forging their own formidable reputations.

Thinking of such a future, Lin Changqing cursed the screenwriter for being heartless. Fortunately, he had the game's memories; given time, he could defy fate.

There's no escaping this older sister; I need to build a good relationship with her first. This female demon is exceptionally vengeful; in the story, the reason I died at the hands of the demonic path might very well be because of Lin Xiwan!
