When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

at the same time.

Jiangnan City, Dengyue Tower.

The city's most prestigious restaurant!

Not only are the prices here outrageously high, but they also exclusively cater to the powerful and wealthy, as well as those of rank five or above!

The rosewood door to the "Emperor's Box" was pushed open.

Jin Xianzheng, the chief examiner of the college entrance examination in Jiangnan Province, walked in with a smile on his face, wearing a sharp suit.

As he entered, the important figures in the private room all looked over.

"Examiner Jin, you've finally arrived!"

"It's already ten minutes late. According to our rules, you'll have to punish yourself with three drinks!"

At the head of the table, a burly middle-aged man spoke with a loud laugh.

He was fiddling with two walnuts in his hand, wearing an expensive Tang suit, and exuding a bandit-like air.

Li Changming, President of the Canal Transport Chamber of Commerce.

But in the underworld of Jiangnan City, people are more accustomed to calling him the leader of the Cao Gang!

This is a truly ruthless character with immense influence and connections!

He started out as a river pirate and worked his way up from a dockworker to where he is today.

Sixty percent of the province's cultivation resources rely on the Grand Canal for transportation.

The power he wielded was even more terrifying than that of some high-ranking officials!

What's even more terrifying is that this person's martial arts cultivation has reached the peak of the sixth rank!

Faced with Li Changming's teasing, Jin Xianzheng not only showed no anger, but also nodded repeatedly in a humble and respectful manner.

"President Li is right, there is some traffic congestion on the road."

"I accept the punishment, I must accept the punishment!"

As he spoke, he picked up the glass of baijiu on the table without hesitation and downed three glasses in a row.

"Haha, Examiner Jin is so straightforward!"

On the left, an elderly man with gray hair smiled and stroked his beard.

Yan Tieshan, vice president of the Mining Guild.

This is a local tyrant who controls more than a dozen large spirit stone mines around Jiangnan City.

Just as Kim Hyun-jung was secretly alarmed by the scene tonight, he suddenly noticed a beautiful woman sitting to his right.

The woman wore a form-fitting purple cheongsam, her eyes sparkling with allure.

"President Li, who is this beautiful lady...?"

Kim Hyun-jung couldn't help but swallow hard and asked curiously.

Li Changming laughed and pointed to the woman: "This is Miss Ziman, who runs an overseas jewelry business and is also an important business partner of mine."

"The main reason for hosting this dinner party today is that she has a small favor to ask of Examiner Jin."

"Beg me?"

Kim Hyun-jung was slightly taken aback, and alarm bells went off in his mind.

Zi Man stood up with captivating charm, holding a glass of red wine, and walked gracefully to Jin Xianzheng's side.

A captivating fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

"Examiner Jin~"

Zi Man's voice was soft and sweet, and she took the initiative to clink her wine glass with hers.

"Nice to meet you, let me offer you a toast."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I have a few good-for-nothing nephews who are taking the martial arts college entrance exam this year."

"Those kids aren't particularly talented; they probably won't pass the practical assessment."

"I hope that when Inspector Kim is proctoring the exam, he can be a little bit more lenient, so that I can get into an ordinary martial arts university."

Kim Hyun-jung's heart skipped a beat, and his first reaction was to refuse.

"Miss Zi, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

"The college entrance examination has very strict discipline; if this is investigated..."

Zi Man didn't speak, but smiled and took out a black and gold card from her bag, gently pressing it on the table in front of Jin Xianzheng.

"I won't let Examiner Jin's efforts go to waste."

"This card contains a small token of my appreciation, plus a villa in the 'Cloud Top Palace' in the city center. The key is also inside."

She leaned down, her ample cleavage faintly visible.

"If you pass the exam, there will be a generous reward later."

"Look..."

Kim Hyun-jung stared at the black gold card with a limit of 100 million won, then at Lee Chang-myung's ambiguous smile, and his Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.

It's just giving a few bad students a passing grade, nothing serious.

With his authority as the chief examiner, he could have done it completely undetected.

"Since... since he is Chairman Lee's friend, I, Jin, will naturally give him this face."

Kim Hyun-jung gritted his teeth, silently swiped the card and key into his briefcase, and a smile returned to his face.

Afterwards, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely, and several people toasted each other.

An hour later, Kim Hyun-jung, his face flushed and completely drunk, was helped away from the Moonrise Tower by his bodyguards.

"Click".

The door to the private room was closed again.

The moment the door closed, the previously lively and cheerful atmosphere inside the private room instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The smile on Zi Man's face vanished without a trace, replaced by a ruthless look.

"The first step of the plan was a success."

Yan Tieshan sneered and poured himself a cup of tea. "It has to be the charm of Sect Master Zi. A few cups of wine were enough to make that fool happily fall into the trap."

"Heh, just a greedy dog!"

Zi Man snorted coldly.

"President Li, shouldn't our next step be to kill that little bastard Jiang Feng right here in the exam hall?!"

"No!"

Li Changming put away the walnuts he had been playing with.

"Now is not the right time to kill him!"

"Why?!"

Zi Man suddenly stood up, her chest heaving with rage, her voice shrill, "That little beast killed six elders of my Purple Scorpion Sect!"

"My Purple Scorpion Sect's century-old foundation has been destroyed in an instant, and now only I remain as its sect leader!"

"I must kill him with my own hands!"

"Calm down!"

Li Changming's eyes widened, and the terrifying pressure of a peak sixth-grade master instantly enveloped Zi Man, forcing her to sit back down in her chair.

"This river breeze...it still has a great use!"

Zi Man bit her red lips, enduring the oppressive aura: "What's it for?"

Li Changming sneered, a hint of disdain and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "Within the sect, that old bastard is convinced that Jiang Feng is a 'chosen one' with great fortune!"

"He deliberately kept Jiang Feng alive, intending to use him as 'force-ripening' material, so that when Jiang Feng's fortune reached its peak, he could personally pluck this fruit to prolong his own life!"

Yan Tieshan's heart skipped a beat as he listened from the side.

The methods of the Demonic Sect are indeed extremely evil!

"snort!"

Li Changming picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp. "That old bastard has been opposing me all along in the Devouring Heaven Demon Sect! How could I let him get his way?!"

"I'm determined to break Jiang Feng's spine! To crush his pride! To shatter his Dao heart and turn him into a complete waste!"

"A chosen one? Hahaha! Once he becomes a cripple, let's see how that old geezer will reap the rewards and prolong his life!"

Li Changming laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.

Yan Tieshan nodded, then lowered his voice and asked, "President Li, your Eclipse Demon Sect's sect leader... hasn't emerged from seclusion yet?"

When the Demon Sect Master was mentioned, Li Changming's arrogance subsided somewhat, and he sneered, "He's been in seclusion for over ten years without making a sound. Who knows if he's already dead in the forbidden area?"

"I'm the leader of the Canal Gang in Jiangnan City, living a life of luxury. I have no desire to return to that dark and hopeless den of demons."

"Therefore, this plan must be absolutely flawless!"

Zi Man took a deep breath, suppressing her anger: "Fine! I can wait! But after the college entrance exam, you must hand Jiang Feng over to me!"

"I want to twist his head off with my own hands!"

Li Changming looked at her and nodded in satisfaction.

"Can."
