53: News about the male protagonist
Ever since he was teleported to the Lower Realm, the whispers around him constantly mentioned the name Su Lianxue, so he was naturally curious.
But he never said he wanted to see her.
And as soon as they met, she knelt down.
This might be the female lead... oh, the female lead also has to kneel.
Thinking of this, Jun Lingxiao looked at Su Lianxue, just about to speak, when the silent System suddenly sent a notification.
Ding! System panel unlocked due to contact with the male or female lead.
Instantly, there was no need for further explanation; the person before him was undoubtedly the female lead.
Ding! Obtained 800 harvesting points from Su Lianxue.
As Jun Lingxiao was thinking, the System in his mind sounded again. Looking closely, he then noticed that Su Lianxue was trembling slightly.
It must be said that as the female lead, Su Lianxue's appearance was very striking. Her cold and aloof demeanor, and eyes as clear as an ice lake, revealed deep tranquility and detachment.
Her face was even more exquisitely picturesque, with distinct features, like a perfect sculpture.
Such a beautiful woman, with bare feet, kneeling piteously on the ground, made the impact even greater.
As expected of the female lead, her looks could rival An Luoxin, that fox.
But unfortunately, he was not one of those foolish villains who become rooted to the spot at the sight of a beautiful woman.
“Su Lianxue?”
He asked.
“Yes...” Su Lianxue gently raised her head and glanced at the young man seated high above. Her slender eyelashes flickered a few times before falling powerlessly.
Due to Jun Lingxiao's Physique, although he was fourteen, he already had the appearance of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in terms of height. Compared to sixteen-year-old Su Lianxue, Jun Lingxiao was even subtly taller than her.
In Su Lianxue's eyes, the young man before her was tall and straight, elegant and noble, with eyes as deep as the sea, revealing endless calm and composure.
His face was as handsome as jade, with distinct features, perfectly crafted as if by the Heavenly Dao.
It was her first time seeing such a handsome young man.
But what she paid more attention to was his aura... it was as if an insurmountable giant peak stood before her. Just kneeling in front of him, she could feel a powerful sense of oppression, an oppression even stronger than her father's.
And the two people standing beside him were even more extraordinary; the woman's beauty was even a few points better than hers, truly a peerless beauty on earth, and the man's strength was so immense that even a glance would shake one's mind... “These are... people from the Upper Realm...” Su Lianxue gave a bitter smile in her heart, sighing powerlessly.
“You may leave.”
Just as Su Lianxue was deep in thought, she heard these words, and then she truly saw the high and mighty, arrogant Head of the Chu Family retreat obsequiously.
The scene instantly left only her.
“May I ask why Your Excellency has summoned me...?” Although deeply shocked, she quickly calmed down and asked.
“Why summon you?”
Jun Lingxiao chuckled softly, resting one hand on his head and the other stroking the sword on the table: “I said I never intended to see you; they all acted on their own initiative to curry favor with me.”
“Do you believe me?”
As he spoke, Jun Lingxiao looked at her like this, his fingers constantly fiddling with the sword he had placed on the table, drawing it out with his thumb, then sheathing it again, repeating the motion.
As if contemplating some decision.
“...”
Su Lianxue did not reply, only knelt on the ground with her head bowed, not daring to move.
Because she suddenly felt a powerful sense of oppression!
This feeling came suddenly, pressing down on her, making her afraid to look up. It was a heart-pounding sensation, as if if she dared to move even an inch, or say half a word more, her head would fall.
A strong sense of crisis arose from her heart, constantly urging her to flee, flee! Flee without looking back!
And the source of this sense of crisis... was the young man before her.
‘Is he going to kill me?!’ Su Lianxue's recently calmed heart began to panic again, and various methods frantically flashed through her mind.
But after pondering for a while, she surprisingly found that she couldn't move at some point?!
This level of strength was simply far beyond anyone she had ever seen!
But thankfully.
This feeling came and went quickly, fleeting in an instant.
An Luoxin, that fox, truly understood Jun Lingxiao. Although she didn't understand why her Young Master would show killing intent towards Su Lianxue, after seeing his expression, she still gave Jun Zizhuo a look, and the two of them walked out of the room.
Suddenly, only the two of them remained.
Just as Su Lianxue thought Jun Lingxiao was about to do something to her, he suddenly seemed to lose interest and looked out the window listlessly.
It must be said, she was quite struck by this.
‘Am I really so unappealing that he doesn't even want to look at me twice?’ Su Lianxue questioned her own appearance for the first time.
Ding! Su Lianxue's mindset has changed, gaining 200 harvesting points.
Listening to the System's prompt, Jun Lingxiao glanced at her from the corner of his eye with some surprise, telling her to get up and speak.
His System seemed like a travel check-in System, but in essence, it was still a villain System.
And what these harvesting points were was also easy to understand: they allowed him to harvest Luck from the male lead and then exchange for items from the System.
The only unexpected thing was that the female lead could also provide harvesting points.
But honestly, the check-in rewards were already very generous, and the System store was still tightly locked. He didn't care for any harvesting points or rewards; they were something he would take if convenient, but wouldn't bother if not.
Su Lianxue was the female lead, and he was a villain. Since they would be adversaries in the future anyway, it might as well be killed directly now.
Thinking this, Jun Lingxiao had a killing intent, but after some thought, killing the female lead before even seeing the male lead seemed a bit strange.
So he decided against it for now.
But it was also a test.
When he showed killing intent towards the female lead, the System gave no prompts, nor did any Heavenly Dao will intervene to protect her, unlike in the villain novels he read in his previous life. Didn't that mean the male lead would be the same?
“Su Lianxue.”
“Are there any unusual people around you?”
“For example, a scoundrel suddenly rising, or a foolish person suddenly becoming clear-headed, or even... someone who was once a Genius but suddenly became a cripple.”
The examples Jun Lingxiao mentioned were all typical protagonist scenarios. And although his gaze was directed towards the bustling crowd outside the window, his peripheral vision was constantly observing Su Lianxue's expression.
When he spoke of a Genius becoming a cripple, he could clearly see Su Lianxue's expression subtly falter. No need for further words, he had already gotten the answer he wanted.
The female lead and male lead were a match made in heaven. It would be ridiculous if he took Su Lianxue's words seriously.
“Yes...”
“Han Feng, the number one Genius of Guan Nan City, is my childhood friend. But three years ago, Han Feng suffered some unknown accident, and his cultivation did not increase but decreased. Now he has become a sweeping servant in the Outer Sect of my Guan Xue Holy Land.”
Su Lianxue paused as she spoke, then looked up at Jun Lingxiao: “May I ask why Your Excellency is inquiring about him...?”
Su Lianxue's gaze was not as timid as before; it seemed to be for her childhood friend, and her pretty face showed a hint of determination.
Of course, she wasn't foolish. Su Lianxue knew that for someone of this existence, investigating Han Feng would be effortless. Concealing it now would be courting death. It was better to speak directly and take the opportunity to understand why the mysterious adult before her was looking for Han Feng.
She could also prepare for the unexpected.
Her thoughts were good, but Jun Lingxiao did not play by the rules.
“What else could inquiring about his news be for? Naturally, it's to...”
“Kill him.”
He rested his head on his hand, a smile on his face, and turned to look at Su Lianxue with slight interest, letting a light sentence fall.
Instantly, Su Lianxue's entire body bristled as if electrocuted!
