Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

Qin Xiao got goosebumps listening to this, brushed Su Qingleng's hand away, and said coldly:

"Don't play the victim in front of me. Remember, you're nothing but my slave. I have no obligation to do anything for you!"

Seeing Qin Xiao's displeasure, Su Qingleng immediately backed down, sheepishly withdrawing her hand, but still staring at Qin Xiao pitifully:

"Master, I am indeed your slave, but now someone is trying to take your slave away..."

Qin Xiao frowned, but this time he did not reprimand Su Qingleng.

What that little vixen said makes a lot of sense.

Although Qin Xiao was extremely unhappy with Su Qingleng, deep down he already considered her his woman.

No matter how low-key he tries to be, he can't just stand by and watch someone steal his woman.

Qin Xiao certainly couldn't stand idly by in this matter.

However, he didn't want to indulge Su Qingleng.

This little vixen has always been one to take advantage of any opportunity, and she's a master at climbing the social ladder.

Qin Xiao would never allow Su Qingleng to develop the habit of demanding that Qin Xiao do things for her.

A slave is a slave; Qin Xiao wasn't looking for a father for himself.

"I need to continue my cultivation. You may leave now."

Qin Xiao glanced at Su Qingleng indifferently, showing no intention of getting involved in the matter.

Let's leave this woman hanging for a few days first.

Su Qingleng wanted to say more, but seeing Qin Xiao's impatient look, she had no choice but to shut her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment.

"Damn it, is this guy really a cuckold? Is he really going to just stand by and watch me marry that playboy Hong Zhen?"

"Hong Zhen is a notorious playboy, he's a real scoundrel. I'd rather marry Qin Xiao, that old dog, than him."

"No, I have to get Qin Xiao to help me, otherwise, given the current situation, my father might marry me off at any time."

Su Qingleng was anxious, but she knew that now was not the time to beg Qin Xiao. She could only wait until the next time they cultivated together to take the opportunity to plead with Qin Xiao.

She refused to believe that Qin Xiao, that old bastard, would put on airs and give her a cold shoulder while they were doing *that* kind of thing.

The following days.

Aside from dual cultivation, Qin Xiao continued to devote all his energy to cultivation.

Although low-level techniques are not very powerful, they have one advantage: by investing a small amount of a beauty's energy, they can be mastered quickly.

So, a few days passed.

Qin Xiao first cultivated the Wind Chasing Step to perfection.

Once he unleashes his power, even a cheetah cannot match his speed; for long journeys, he is comparable to a thoroughbred horse.

This lightness skill filled the gap in Qin Xiao's lack of lightness skills.

Subsequently, the techniques of concealing one's aura and disguising one's appearance made cultivation even simpler, and Qin Xiao mastered them all to perfection.

With his current abilities of concealing his aura and disguising his appearance, Qin Xiao could walk right up to Su Haoxuan without Su Haoxuan noticing him.

With these two secret techniques, Qin Xiao could change his identity and live in Black Mountain City with ease.

This made Qin Xiao breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

Qin Xiao devoted all his remaining energy to the superior-grade martial art, the Mighty Bull Demon Fist.

However, high-grade cultivation techniques require too much beauty energy, and in just a few days, Qin Xiao only managed to cultivate this technique to the point of minor success.

Even so, Qin Xiao gained the strength of an ox and a horse, plus the boost from his copper skin and iron bones.

Now, he possesses the strength of tens of thousands of pounds with one hand, easily smashing rocks. Among martial artists in the Bone Refining Realm, he can be considered to have immense strength.

At this point, Qin Xiao's strength has been improved in all aspects.

But Qin Xiao knew that his "good days" were about to end.

"Master, please help Qing Leng. My father said that in three days, he will send me to the Wang family and marry me to that scoundrel Hong Zhen."

That day, Su Qingleng knelt before Qin Xiao, her pretty face filled with extreme anxiety, her eyes pleading as she stared at him, as if she would kneel before him to death if he didn't agree.

These past few days, she had asked Qin Xiao for help before, and each time she had taken advantage of the opportunity of dual cultivation to ask Qin Xiao for help.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao remained unmoved and showed no intention of helping at all.

Even Su Qingleng was helpless.

She had originally planned to wait a few days before asking Qin Xiao for help, but to her surprise, her father was already eager to marry her off to the Hong family.

Now, Su Qingleng knew that if she didn't beg Qin Xiao for help, she would be completely finished.

"Hong Zhen, that Hong family's rotten pants?"

Qin Xiao looked at Su Qingleng in surprise, not expecting this woman to be so pitiful, that the person she was going to marry was actually that guy Hong Zhen.

Hong Zhen was a well-known figure in Black Mountain City. He loved to frequent brothels and spent most of the year there.

As a result, he developed groin ulcers and consulted various famous doctors, but none of them could cure him. He almost became the laughing stock of the entire Black Mountain City.

However, few people dared to laugh at Hong Zhen in front of him. After all, Hong Zhen was the young master of the Hong family, whose status was comparable to, or even higher than, Wang Shijie of the Wang family.

Wang Shijie still had several biological brothers. Even though he died, Wang Tongxuan had other sons who would succeed him as the young master.

However, Hong Zhen was the only son of his father, the head of the Hong family, and his grandfather was also a master of marrow refining in the Hong family.

With two Marrow Refinement Realm experts standing above him, who in the entire Black Mountain City would dare to offend Hong Zhen?

Qin Xiao's eyes flickered. It seemed that Su Haoxuan marrying Su Qingleng to Hong Zhen was actually a good choice.

Marrying Hong Zhen means binding two top experts in the Marrow Refining Realm. If the Wang family dares to touch the Su family again, things won't be so simple.

It was only by sacrificing Su Qingleng, the unloved daughter.

"Yes, Master, please save me. I've heard that Hong Zhen is a debauched man who loves to gather a bunch of cronies for orgies. I would rather die than marry that beast."

Su Qing's cold, beautiful eyes were filled with fear. Even a woman as venomous as her could not accept Hong Zhen. One could only imagine how licentious Hong Zhen was.

Qin Xiao remained silent.

Uncensored Assembly?

Hong Zhen really knows how to have fun; no wonder he ended up with ripped pants.

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Xiao finally looked at Su Qingleng:

Do you know where this person will be in the next couple of days?

After leaving Su Qingleng out of the picture for a few days, Qin Xiao had achieved his goal. He couldn't just stand by and watch Su Qingleng get married.

Moreover, he didn't want the Su family and the Hong family to have a smooth marriage. Once the two families were united by marriage, the Wang family wouldn't dare to touch the Su family again.

Next, the three major families will likely have to devote all their energy to searching for Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao didn't want to face the pressure from the three major families alone. It would be best if he secretly stirred things up and caused the three families to fight each other.

Anyway, none of them are good stuff.

Moreover, the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit is about to ripen, and Qin Xiao is about to head to the mine to get his hands on it.

As long as he eats the spiritual fruit, Qin Xiao will be able to quickly break through his current realm and his strength will increase dramatically.

By then, most of his crisis will be eliminated.

That's why he asked about Hong Zhen's whereabouts.

"Know."

Upon hearing Qin Xiao speak, Su Qingleng's beautiful eyes were filled with ecstasy, and she nodded hurriedly, "I received news that the top courtesan of Yanyun Tower will officially debut tonight, and Hong Zhen will definitely go to Yanyun Tower to compete for that courtesan."

"The most beautiful courtesan of Yanyun Tower is getting married?"

Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow.

Yanyunlou is the most luxurious brothel in Black Mountain City, a notorious den of extravagance where ordinary people cannot even afford a cup of tea.

The most beautiful courtesan in this establishment is exceptionally beautiful, proficient in all arts and crafts, possessing both beauty and talent, as well as elegance and poise.

As the most beautiful courtesan, she always sold her art, not her body.

However, Qin Xiao knew that this was just a marketing tactic of the brothel. If they were prostitutes, how could they possibly not actually sell their bodies?

Once the marketing reaches a certain point, the courtesan will officially be married.

At that time, the young masters of various families will bid frantically to compete for the first soup of the courtesan. Sometimes, the first soup of a courtesan can even fetch a sky-high price of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which is simply outrageous.

"Very well, I have heard of the intoxicating reputation of Yanyun Tower since I was young, but I have never had the chance to go there and see for myself."

Qin Xiao's eyes flashed, and he made up his mind, "I'll go see what kind of magical paradise this Yanyun Tower is tonight."

As for courtesans, Qin Xiao was naturally not interested. Even top beauties like the courtesan who supposedly sold their art but not their bodies, Qin Xiao had no interest in them whatsoever.

There's no other reason than that Qin Xiao is a germaphobe.

So Qin Xiao instructed Su Qingleng to find him some more luxurious clothes and cosmetics.

After carefully disguising himself...

As night fell, Qin Xiao quietly slipped out of the Su family's house and swaggered down the streets of Black Mountain City.

Qin Xiao has long since changed his appearance. I'm afraid even his closest friend, Lin Xiaoxian, wouldn't be able to resist him if she stood in front of him.

It would be even less likely for others to recognize Qin Xiao.

As night fell, the streets and alleys of Black Mountain City were deserted, eerily quiet.

But when Qin Xiao arrived at the street where Yanyun Tower was located...

But it was a completely different scene.

Under the cover of night, Yanyun Tower was brightly lit, with large red lanterns hanging high.

At the entrance, guests came and went, carriages and horses moved about, and the madam and her staff greeted guests, creating a lively and bustling scene.

Remembering Su Haoxuan's usual arrogant demeanor, Qin Xiao immediately adopted Su Haoxuan's air and swaggered towards Yanyun Tower.

They saw that Qin Xiao was dressed in an extraordinary manner and had an arrogant demeanor.

The sharp-eyed waiter immediately came forward with great enthusiasm:

"Sir, please come in!"

As the young man led the way, he explained things to Qin Xiao:

"This gentleman looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time visiting Yanyun Tower? You've come to the right place. Every girl in Yanyun Tower is an absolute beauty. And tonight, there's a very important event: our Miss Xiaoyun is getting married..."

A glint flashed in Qin Xiao's eyes, and he immediately adopted a ruthless tone, saying:

"I came here tonight specifically for Miss Xiaoyun. Get me the best private room."

As he spoke, he pulled a large wad of silver notes from his pocket and arrogantly declared, "I've got plenty of money, and I'm determined to have Miss Xiaoyun. Anyone who tries to take her from me, I'll bury them in silver notes!"

Qin Xiao's high profile was obviously intentional.

The purpose was to bring out Hong Zhen's rotten crotch.

If he could, he would rather not even enter Yanyun Tower and just finish off Hong Zhen at the entrance.

As expected, Qin Xiao's high profile immediately attracted a lot of surprised looks.

However, upon seeing the money in Qin Xiao's hand, many of the elegantly dressed and distinguished young men at the entrance sneered:

"Where did this country bumpkin come from, daring to set his sights on Miss Xiaoyun? He's utterly clueless."

"How much money is he? He's so arrogant. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was an elder of the Mountain and River Sect."

"All the young masters in the city are here tonight. We'll show this nouveau riche what real wealth is all about."
