In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

"Then should I call you 'older sister' too? Wait, I remember we're the same age? Are you older or am I older?"

Jiang Chengcheng, who was standing to the side, also laughed, "It's fine, whatever you say, please guide me in the future."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand to Xie Qingyan.

"...Well, please give me more advice."

Her attitude surprised Xie Qingyan, and it took him a while to finally hold her hand.

To be honest, she didn't expect things to unfold this way.

The main issue is that the roles the two played didn't align with her expectations—although she never intended to blackmail Xia Wuyou by using the treatment of Xia Ke'an as leverage, as she was merely making a deal with Xu Shi at the time… but given the circumstances, it would be best to minimize the distance between them.

On the contrary, Jiang Chengcheng is not easy to deal with. Not long ago, they had a face-to-face confrontation... Now it feels like the roles have been reversed, and unexpectedly, she is easier to talk to.

"As long as Xu Shi approves of you, I don't care."

Jiang Chengcheng seemed to know what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "If he's happy, I'm happy... We can make him happy together in the future."

This statement is quite artistic; even setting aside the hidden risqué elements, it seems to be subtly criticizing some people, suggesting they might be a bit petty.

The person who was chosen paused for a moment, then realized something was wrong.

It was their decision to give Xie Qingyan a hard time first; it wasn't something she did on her own!

Jiang Chengcheng, why are you turning your back on me like this? It makes me look like the bad guy!

Now it's clear who the biggest, hidden villain is.

Xie Qingyan blinked, but not because she was concerned about "making him happy together," but because she was surprised by the other party's attitude towards Xu Shi.

Are you really not a puppy? You're being way too obedient...

"This can't go on forever, can it?"

She tentatively asked, "I always feel that we can't spoil him too much, and we can't always be arguing and making things difficult for him. We need to put some pressure on him appropriately."

"Is that what you think?"

This piqued the interest of the other two, who asked in unison, "So what are your plans?"

"I think..."

Xie Qingyan thought for a moment, then whispered a few words to them mysteriously.

As they listened, a sly glint appeared in their eyes.

"You're right, let's do it that way!"

The update is a little late, I'm off to watch the game, hehe.

After thinking about it, I've decided not to write about chaotic battles. Wouldn't that be like fighting to the death? Firstly, I'm not good at it, and secondly, something easy and relaxed would be much better...

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 244 Two of us three have become traitors!

Xu Shi was held back by the three little ones, wondering what kind of consensus the ladies had reached.

But it should be good? At least when he sneakily went over to check the situation, he saw the three of them sitting together chatting and laughing, with no sign of any animosity.

Oh?

This was actually a bit unexpected for him, since in his impression these people were all quite assertive, and the real cowards were at home and hadn't come along... It was really not easy to reach a consensus in such a short time.

Moreover, it was clearly not a matter of first reaching a consensus and then making one; I didn't see anyone panting, blushing, or having a racing heart.

I don't know how they talked... but undeniably, he was very satisfied with the result. One can be shameless for a while, but not forever. If it's really a hellish situation, it's only novel at first, but even he would get a headache after a while.

It's better to have a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

"you……"

He was about to go and enjoy himself, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

When he arrived, the girls continued chatting as if they didn't care about him at all, treating him like he wasn't there.

Ok?

Xu Shi was stunned, but still shamelessly went over and asked, "What's going on?"

He stood between the three of them, and finally someone paid attention to him. Xie Qingyan glanced at the scoundrel and then made a questioning sound.

"Huh? Who's this person? Have you two sisters seen him before?"

"I don't know, you look unfamiliar. Are you your friend?"

Xia Xiaomao shook her head repeatedly, feigning ignorance.

"But he doesn't look like a good person, so Wuyou kicked him out."

Jiang Chengcheng chuckled and made a gesture to shoo them away.

"Uh-huh."

Xia Wuyou readily agreed, then immediately assumed a fighting stance, "I don't know who you are. If you don't leave, I'm going to take action."

what?

Xu Shi frowned, immediately realizing what tricks they were playing.

So those corrupted female warriors were turned against the Heavenly Gang by the evil woman and united to fight against the Great Demon King, right?

Although it was all an act, the girls were very serious, all with solemn expressions, clearly having secretly conspired to teach him a lesson.

That's how it is. None of them object to Xu Shi having women on both sides, but this needs to be kept in check. Nobody wants to see him buying new women like he's buying new ones every day. What will happen if this goes on for too long?!

In the end, they'll have to deal with it internally... You wish! Bad men should be punished!

Xu Shi was speechless. He really hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He had let Xie Qingyan in as a catfish, but in the end, he himself was kicked out and no one wanted him.

"Hahaha……"

Xia Ke'an, who was hiding outside the door, couldn't help but burst out laughing. The scene was just too hilarious!

Sisters Feng and Ling were also trying not to laugh. We've been rigorously trained not to laugh no matter how funny something is... unless we can't help it.

It's really hard not to laugh, because it's rare to see the master (master's father) get the short end of the stick and be taken advantage of, and the masters' wives looking so serious... This is funnier than any joke. So the master (master's father) has this kind of time too?!

Caught in a pincer movement, Xu Shi felt a little embarrassed.

"...Okay, okay, let's play it this way, huh?"

The petty, mean-spirited man was immediately enraged. He ignored them, thinking they were just asking for trouble, and turned and left with a flourish.

What are you laughing at here?

The lucky audience member chosen to vent was naturally Pan Ling. Xu Shi grabbed her by the back of her collar like a chick, "You're so proud of seeing your master suffer? I'll punish you by making you copy the sect rules upside down one hundred times!"

"Hey?"

The foolish apprentice's laughter vanished instantly, and he immediately admitted defeat, "I wasn't laughing at you, Master, I was just thinking about something funny... Besides, what rules do we have?"

"You'll just make this up since you don't have a teacher! See how I deal with you!"

"No, Master, I was wrong..."

Little Ling was on the verge of tears. What are you all doing?

When the master's wife is mistreated, she takes it out on her; when the master suffers, it's still her who gets the short end of the stick!

At this moment, she understood a truth: being an apprentice often means being bullied, especially if you join the tutelage of a bad master like this, then there's no escaping it...

"Great!"

Watching Xu Shi slink away, the girls exchanged glances and gave a small cheer.

That's how it has to be done. Do they really think we're easy to bully?

"Is this not a good idea...?"

However, there were also those who lacked resolve. Jiang Chengcheng quickly expressed her concern, "I have a feeling we went a bit too far..."

"Where are you going?"

Xie Qingyan didn't care at all. "It's just to teach him a lesson. It's not like you're really cutting ties with him. What's there to be afraid of?"

She knew perfectly well whether Xu Shi would break down over something so trivial. She was putting on such a convincing act.

Maybe doing this will actually improve our relationship in the future...

"So, when does Sister Qingyan plan to stop?"

Xia Wuyou confirmed it.

"Well... well, at least leave him hanging for a few days."

Xie Qingyan thought for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer, "We'll see how things go then, nothing will happen."

"……walk slowly."

The other two thought about it and had no objections either.

"Come on, let's go explore the island together. I haven't really seen much of this place yet..."

"Okay, I know a place with nice scenery..."

……

The girls united and went off hand in hand, enjoying themselves.

Everyone unanimously began to leave Xu Shi aside, and Xie Qingyan saw this and felt a little smug.

Well, she had her own ulterior motives for doing this; she mainly wanted to establish some authority in the minds of others.

Once things are done, people will subconsciously listen to her more afterward, and she will gradually become a leader.

Therefore, she wasn't as open-minded as she had been when she made her initial remarks, and she certainly didn't want to be outdone by anyone...

But things didn't go as she expected. She did get along well with Xia Wuyou and Jiang Chengcheng, but the problem was that Xu Shi, that bad man, didn't seem to be affected at all!

The girls ignored him, but he didn't make any move to approach them. Apart from necessary work-related conversations, he didn't say a word more. Then, he took Xia Ke'an and Pan Ling and, as if on vacation, found a scenic spot to start reading books and newspapers.

With his beloved daughter as a pillow and his silly apprentice serving him tea and water while massaging his shoulders and legs, he couldn't be more content.
