“Fan’er, you are unaware of this. Just now, I sensed a faint aura of extraordinary power emanating from that boy. It seems that he truly is, as he said, the destined soul of General Cao Ren…”

When he spoke, Mr. Kong, the frog in the well, was full of confidence.

“Father, even if what you say is true… Cao Ren is still no match for Lü Bu, is he?” Lord Kong persisted in his opinion, attempting to make a comeback.

"Hmph, I am a dignified Heaven-rank master, my divine sense far surpasses that of you, a mere Earth-rank!" Kong Zheng's face darkened, his eyes blazing. "Moreover, Cao Ren was once a Star Soul General among the Eight Generals of Tiandu, how could he be compared to a mere Lu Bu?"

After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, I once served that lord, and I would never be wrong about the extraordinary aura unique to a celestial being. Taking Xun Xia as a son-in-law is far better than taking Lü Fengxian as a son-in-law!"

"What if...what if that Xun Xia kid is using crooked methods to deceive us..." Kong Fan's face also darkened, his fingers tapping repeatedly on his knees. "I think we shouldn't gamble everything..."

Upon hearing this, Master Kong seemed to be deep in thought.

But Kong Xinxin immediately exploded, looking like she wanted to devour someone, "What nonsense are you talking about, Dad! My brother Xun Xia would never be that kind of shameless person! I won't allow you to slander him like this behind his back!"

"If you ask me, it's Lü Fengxian who's the real villain who uses underhanded tricks. He must have used some means to impersonate Xinghun and deceive all of us into believing he's Lü Bu's Destiny!"

"You!..." Kong Fan stood up abruptly, pointing a trembling finger at his unfilial daughter, his other hand involuntarily rising to slap her, "You scoundrel!"

Snapped!

A resounding slap landed on his face.

"All right……"

However, it was blocked by a powerful expert of the Heavenly Rank who didn't even know his own name, using a protective barrier of qi.

"Actually, there's no need for us to argue... We can play it by ear at this Lu family banquet. If that Lu family playboy really doesn't want to go, we'll just call off the engagement!"

"If that old scoundrel Lu dares to utter a single word of dissent, I'll have a perfect excuse to unleash my fury!"

At this point, Kong Zheng looked at his granddaughter, "If Lü Fengxian is truly as rumored, Xin'er, you can feign compliance for now. We'll secretly cultivate Xun Xia and slowly find an opportunity to erode the entire Lü family's foundation..."

"..." Kong Fan was slightly speechless. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Father... is right. It's much more appropriate than simply annulling the engagement!" (At least it's not a mindless annulment; there's still room for negotiation...)

Upon hearing this, Kong Xinxin turned her head to the side, her cheeks puffing out like a toad, muttering to herself, "Pah! Screw your slow erosion... Humph, I'm definitely breaking off this engagement no matter what! Just wait and see how I take down the Lü family!"

……

The outer gate of the Lü residence.

"You...you...you're not..." Song Yunrui stammered, pointing at the newcomer without thinking. "Aren't you...that...Lu...who's head maid?!"

"Shen Yue, head maid of the East Courtyard of the Lü family, greets Young Master Yunrui of the Song family."

Shen Yue gave a polite, slight bow. "We are here on Young Master Fengxian's orders to await the arrival of the Kong family's distinguished guests..."

Behind them, Xiao Meng and the others stood straight on both sides, while Ma Jinhua and Ye Xiaozi looked nonchalant, as if they didn't take them seriously at all.

Song Yunrui and Song Shui, who were opposite each other, were immediately drenched in sweat.

Song Shui secretly transmitted his voice, "Young Master Yunrui, be careful. These people have unusual auras; their cultivation has probably reached the Heavenly Rank..."

"What nonsense are you spouting! I'm not blind!" Song Yunrui replied telepathically, his face remaining calm, but his eyes darting around. "I saw them leaping through the air just now!"

Their telepathic communication came to an abrupt end, since they didn't know each other.

The Song family members from the East Courtyard who came to help had all disguised themselves so perfectly that even if the two little Karami stared wide-eyed, they wouldn't recognize them.

Swah——

A large bat swept across the sky, unnoticed by anyone except the few people at the Heavenly Rank.

call--

The Kong family's flying boat is getting closer and closer.

"It's the Kong family's flying boat! Quick, prepare to welcome our distinguished guests!" Song Yunrui shouted immediately, doing everything in his power to impress them. "Quick, get into formation..."

Huff... huff...

The spaceship landed, releasing a large amount of gas.

The door opened, and a staircase led down. Kong Xinxin gracefully walked out, lifting her skirt.

Upon seeing this, Song Yunrui immediately displayed his gentlemanly demeanor, "Miss Xin Xin! Welcome!"

His movements were even more standard than the butler's; he didn't act like a young master at all, just like a servant.

"what?"

"Song Yunrui?!" Kong Xinxin covered her surprised mouth with her hand. "What are you doing here?! You and Lü Fengxian are...?"

“Because our old Marquis has formed an ‘alliance’ with the Lü family, we are practically family now. Speaking of which, Lü Fengxian is my uncle…” Song Yunrui said with a smile on his lips, not daring to open his eyes.

"Could it be that Song Yunrui is from the Song family of the Marquis of Jiu'an's mansion?"

"Oh my god!" Kong Xinxin feigned shock, looking adorably bewildered. "You're so diligent and hardworking at school, always so low-key and down-to-earth. I never imagined you were actually a rich young master from a wealthy family!"

But her true face is not like that.

Beneath that mask was a twisted, disgusting face. "Idiot, I knew you were from the Song family a long time ago. And if you're allied with the Lü family, you're definitely not from a good family. You've made me even more disgusted with you, you stinking lapdog!"

"Ah, Miss Xin, you flatter me!" Song Yunrui scratched the back of his head, his cheeks flushed, and laughed like a fool, "Hahahaha..."

Seeing this, Kong Xinxin thought, "Judging from your lecherous look, I know you're just another lecherous pervert obsessed with my beauty. Pah!"

City Lord Kong asked, "Eh? Xin'er, who is this young talent?"

"Dad, this is Song Yunrui, my classmate from pre-college!" Kong Xinxin took her father's arm and said in a teasing tone, "He's one of our class committee members. He's always hardworking, diligent, and low-key. I never imagined he was from the Song family, and even allied with the Lü family!"

Then, the tea master introduced his family, "Song Yunrui, this is my dad, and this is my grandpa."

"This humble one, Song Yunrui, greets City Lord Kong and Grandpa Kong!"

The voice was even more affectionate than when calling one's own grandfather.

Then they began to flatter each other.

at the same time…

Inside a side room of the banquet hall in the outer courtyard of the Lü family.

"Achoo!" Xun Xia sneezed so hard that he fell over.

Snapped!

"Who told you to sneeze?" Lü Fengxian raised her hand and slapped him. "You're a prisoner now. You need my permission to do everything, even breathing, understand?"

"Who are you? Why did you arrest me? Miss Kong is my woman... If you dare..."

Snapped!

He slapped her again with his backhand, making it perfectly symmetrical, one slap on the left and one on the right.

"Xun Xia, Xun Xia, you even dared to steal my fiancée?" Lü Fengxian pinched his mouth and lifted him up. "Although I don't care about that silly woman, are you even human for stealing a 'married woman'? You're worse than a pig or a dog..."

"It's not my fault...it's hers..."

Snapped!

A slap landed on his face.

Bang!

"You don't blame me?" Lü Fengxian laughed in anger, and directly kneed her. "If you hadn't taken the initiative to seduce her, would a rich young lady like her have gotten to know a scoundrel like you? Are you trying to fool me?"

"Tell me the truth!"

"Or I'll chop your dick up and feed it to the bitch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lingyun conjured a short sword beside him, which gleamed with a sharp soul power.

"I'll talk... I'll talk!" Xun Xia immediately covered his groin, cold sweat pouring down his face. "I only approached that stupid woman to seize the Kong family's wealth. I don't like her at all; I just coveted the Kong family's resources..."

"I knew it…"

Upon hearing this, Lü Fengxian pursed her lips and turned her head to ask, "Ayun, did you record it?"

"It's being recorded, young master."

"What? You're masturbating?"

"No... Young Master, what did you hear? I meant we're recording!"

So, does Tomato no longer allow images in the main text? I searched for ages but couldn't find the insert button. I really wanted to add images when describing the mechs, even AI illustrations require a level 4 or higher… /(tot)/~~
