451: A group of people competing with each other in acting [Next month's update plan]

Brother Chen will destroy the Tang Family?

Third Young Master, and my mom and dad, will all be brutally murdered by Brother Chen in the end?

Brother Chen is two-faced, and secretly he's actually a ruthless, scheming boy???

Tang Hao's mouth dropped open, (ΩДΩ) his face full of disbelief.

Compared to Tang Guoan and the others, who believed without question, he, being a bit of a blockhead, maintained the same attitude from beginning to end... Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!!!

I'm 95% absolutely certain, it's just impossible!!!!!!

“Hi ✿ (.◕‿◕.) ✿ Young Master Huo! Long time no see, I've missed you greatly.”

Lin Xuan ignored the stubborn Sixth Cousin, smiling as he looked at Huo Qichen, waving hello in a familiar manner. ┏(＾0＾)┛

His enthusiasm was such that an uninformed person... might even think these two were close friends... Huo Qichen's face darkened.

He really didn't want to bother with Lin Xuan, nor did he expect the other party to greet him first.

But then he thought, Lin Xuan must have known that their Huo Family had allied with a Martial Arts Grandmaster, which is why he had no choice but to humbly prepare to bow down and admit his mistake.

As the saying goes: a wise man submits to circumstances.

Such sensible behavior was not entirely incomprehensible to the Overbearing CEO.

Moreover, under his years of careful planning, most of the Tang Family members had a good impression of him.

With so many advantages, what could this useless 'lucky charm' son-in-law possibly use to compete with him?

Choosing to bow and apologize was perfectly normal, nothing to be surprised about.

Just as Huo Qichen was feeling smug, wanting to thoroughly humiliate Lin Xuan's dignity in front of Su Qingge, the other party spoke up first with a jest:

“Young Master Huo, are you cosplaying your ancestor, Hawking? You even got a wheelchair, and that crooked mouth and slanted face expression, you're really good at acting.”

“Someone who didn't know... might even think it's truly your ancestor possessing a body and returning! It strangely has a kind of 'inverted cosmic order' comedic effect!”

“...”

Listening to Lin Xuan's sarcastic taunts, a hint of murderous intent flashed across Huo Qichen's chiseled face, his anger seething.

He couldn't understand what Lin Xuan was trying to do?!

Even now, he was still so ignorant of proper conduct, daring to mock him to his face?

Didn't he know that the Huo Family was about to soar and dominate Magic City!!!!

“Young man, watch your words. Be careful of misfortune coming from your mouth.”

Before Huo Qichen could retort, the old servant Butler Fu quickly stepped forward to protect his master, threatening with a cold sneer.

“Infinite Heavenly Venerate! Young benefactor, I see a dark omen between your brows; today, you may suffer a bloody disaster!”

Beside them, He Ping, dressed as a Daoist priest, stood with his hands behind his back by the French window, his expression indifferent.

He didn't even spare a glance for the others in the room, feeling superior and unwilling to associate with mortals.

“Alright, alright! You guys scare me! It's just a joke! Why so serious? | _・)”

“You're all so fond of pretending, isn't life very boring?”

“Never mind, I'm watching the match! In three more minutes, the Jianghu Life and Death Arena will officially begin! I'm not going to waste time chatting with you!”

“...”

Facing the subtle threats from the Huo Family, Lin Xuan picked his ears, pretending not to hear.

He pushed his wheelchair to a French window, overlooking a ring on the river not far away, quietly waiting for the last three minutes, like waiting for instant noodles to cook, to pass.

This kid is really arrogant!

Seeing this, both Butler Fu and Daoist He were extremely displeased.

Since they had achieved cultivation, when had they ever been ignored like this?!

In front of them, who wasn't respectful? Who wasn't trembling?

Even Old Master Huo sometimes had to give them a little face, but this kid in front of them dared to treat them with such an indifferent attitude?!

Heh heh... A mere cat or dog, is he getting ahead of himself? Or does he think we can't lift a knife?

“Butler Fu! Daoist He! Let's watch the match first! We can discuss other matters later...”

At this moment, Huo Qichen spoke, stopping Butler Fu and the other, who were eager to make a move.

On one hand, even if Lin Xuan's relationship with the Tang Family wasn't great, there was still a tiny bit of blood relation.

He couldn't push Lin Xuan too hard in front of Tang Guoan and the others.

On the other hand, he also didn't want to use force to suppress Lin Xuan; instead, he hoped that after witnessing the Huo Family's power, the other party would willingly submit to him... And to achieve this, he just needed to wait for the arena match to begin, and let Lin Xuan and the many forces present witness the invincible might of the Huo Family's current backer—Jiang Yangping.

At that time, they would inevitably fear the Huo Family and make the wisest choice.

Thinking of this, Huo Qichen's already crooked mouth almost stretched to his ears... Noticing that the Huo Family had no intention of making a move, Lin Xuan silently raised his right hand and touched his nose with it, to cover up his embarrassment.

He had almost shouted out “Slap-Slap-On-The-Face Palm” just now.

He didn't expect to be interrupted by this busybody Overbearing CEO in the middle of his 'spellcasting'... And what Lin Xuan didn't notice was that Su Qingge, in her wheelchair, also relaxed her body again.

If the Huo Family had really intended to make a move just now, she wouldn't have cared about the risk of exposure and would have directly crippled the attackers.

One at Minor Inner Strength, one at Peak of Inner Strength; for the current Su Qingge, it wasn't a big problem.

Or rather, due to the unique nature of her cultivation technique, Su Qingge, now at Peak of Inner Strength, was confident in crushing anyone below a Martial Arts Grandmaster... “Brother Chen, my Cousin is a man of strong character. He doesn't have any ill intentions.”

“For my sake, please don't be too hard on him! ”

“If my Cousin has offended you in any way, I'll apologize to you on his behalf, how about it?”

“...”

To prevent the conflict from escalating, Tang Familys Third Young Master forced a smile, trying his best to appear as he usually did, playing along with Huo Qichen.

In reality, he was suffocating with resentment, wishing he could slap this beast in human skin to death.

But he hadn't lost his mind; he knew that now wasn't the best time to show his true colors... Endure!!!!

Endure hardships to achieve a goal!!!!!

Lurking by Huo Qichen's side, since he needed to use him to achieve his ulterior motives, he could also use this point in the future to deliver a fatal blow to the other party.

And mirroring this thought were Tang Guoan and his wife.

They changed their usual lukewarm attitude, greeting Huo Qichen very warmly, concerned about his illness.

As the saying goes: know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles.

Now the enemy was in the open, and they were in the dark; this was an excellent opportunity to break through the other party's psychological defenses.

Once Huo Qichen let down his guard, they would be better able to seize certain loopholes and, in turn, completely plunge the Huo Family into an abyss of eternal damnation!!!!!

At this moment, every member of the Tang Family brought out their ancestral acting skills, acting incredibly close to Huo Qichen.

Even Tang Ling didn't want to be left behind; she had guessed her family's intentions, and suppressing the urge to vomit, she followed Tang Familys Third Young Master in calling the 'inferior man' “Brother Chen.”

Ugh~~~ (Family, Xiao Ling will vomit first as a sign of respect)~~~~

Facing the Tang Family's sudden enthusiasm, Huo Qichen was slightly flattered, speaking humbly, but inwardly he was already roaring with laughter.

He greatly enjoyed this sense of superiority from strategizing and controlling everything.

Whether it was Tang Familys Third Young Master or the Tang couple, weren't they all being played by his schemes?

Even Tang Ling, upon their first meeting, instantly fell for his handsome face, looking at him with tender affection and shyness.

Look, this infatuated girl, she was too embarrassed to look at me just now... She's still pretending to be reserved, covering her mouth and deliberately turning her face away, feigning discomfort.

Trying to use such clumsy behavior to attract my attention?!

Heh heh, what a cunning little woman!

But I have to congratulate her, this low-level 'playing hard to get' tactic did successfully pique my interest... Inside the private room, it was now filled with the joyful laughter of the actors, and the guests were all enjoying themselves.

You act, I act, everyone is acting, as if fiercely competing for the annual Best Actor award.

However, the best 'actor' was undoubtedly Tang Hao, because only he was genuinely playing himself, silly (silly)!

Seeing his family finally come to their senses, recognizing the true face of his Beastly Cousin, and realizing that Brother Chen was the one they should truly befriend... Tang Hao was so relieved that tears welled up in his eyes, feeling that his several big slaps earlier were not in vain! ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ )

...At this moment, in another private room not far away, the Han Family members were waiting anxiously.

“The arena match is about to start. Why is Master Su still not here?”

“Could he be... afraid of Jiang Yangping's power and fled without a fight?”

“...”

On the sofa, a man in a well-tailored suit, robust, looking around 40 years old, exuding the confidence of a successful person.

He was constantly checking the time on his phone, unable to sit still.

Han Zhengyang.

The current head of the Han Family.

Actually, it wasn't surprising that he was so anxious and worried.

Jiang Yangping was a martial arts powerhouse famous decades ago, while Su Fan had only been cultivating for a few years? Even if he was a genius, facing an old-school strongman like Jiang Yangping, who had cultivated for most of his life, he still seemed a bit outmatched...

To be honest, Han Zhengyang was somewhat pessimistic.

Like most people, he also leaned towards Jiang Yangping in terms of winning odds.

But he had no choice now; the Han Family could be said to be tied to Su Fan, having completely staked everything on him.

As long as Su Fan won this Deathmatch, the various invisible benefits the Han Family would gain would be unimaginable.

Of course, if Su Fan lost, it would also be an unbearable blow to the Han Family... In this situation, how could Han Zhengyang possibly remain calm?

“Dad! Don't worry! Master Su said that he would come immediately after he finished his current tasks.”

Beside Han Zhengyang sat his beloved daughter—Han Xinqiao.

One of the four beauties of Magic City, ranking third.

She was tall and exceptionally beautiful.

Wearing a pure white crop top and blue denim shorts, her perfect S-shaped figure was fully displayed.

Although Han Xinqiao was also a little worried.

But after spending this time together, she knew very well that Su Fan was a man of his word; since he said he would come, he would never retreat at the last minute and would definitely be present.

She believed that the man she had chosen was a dragon among men.

No matter how powerful that old man was, Su Fan would definitely defeat him, stepping on his head to ascend to the supreme throne.

And she, in the future, would become Su Fan's beautiful queen, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, sharing the world's splendor.

Second only to one, above ten thousand!!!!

She would become the most envied woman in the entire Magic City, the entire China, and even the entire world, the entire universe!!!!

(¯﹃¯) Han Xinqiao's mouth watered from her daydreaming, filled with infinite aspirations for the future...
