I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

Meanwhile, in Shanghai, at the Jiang Family Manor.

The atmosphere in the manor is completely different from what it was a month ago.

Back then, the place was deathly still, and the servants walked on tiptoe, afraid of disturbing anyone.

Now, the courtyard is full of life.

Jiang Zhenyuan, the patriarch of the Jiang family who should have been dying in his hospital bed, was practicing martial arts in the center of the courtyard, dressed in a white training uniform.

His movements were slow and powerful, each move exuding composure. His complexion was rosy, and his breathing was deep and even; he showed no signs of being critically ill.

Several servants responsible for cleaning the courtyard watched from afar, whispering among themselves, their faces full of surprise.

"Grandpa's health... is truly miraculous."

"Yes, just a month ago the doctor told me to prepare for my death, but now I can even box."

"I heard it's all thanks to the Second Miss; I wonder where she got that miraculous medicine from."

……

In another courtyard, the atmosphere was not so pleasant.

Jiang Tianxiong, from the eldest branch of the Jiang family, listened to the private doctor's report, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

"Snapped!"

He smashed a fine antique teacup on the ground, shattering it into several pieces.

The private doctor standing opposite him shuddered in fright, but still forced himself to continue speaking.

He held a stack of medical reports in his hand, and his expression was still dazed.

"Mr. Jiang, judging from the various data, the old man's bodily organ functions... have all shown varying degrees of rejuvenation. This... this cannot be explained in any reasonable way by modern medicine."

Jiang Tianxiong's face twitched.

He is almost sixty years old.

He waited his whole life, endured his whole life, and now that the old man is about to pass away, the position of family head will soon be his.

As a result, everything was ruined by a broken pill that his niece, Jiang Yu'er, somehow got her hands on.

Jiang Hao, standing to the side, clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.

"Dad, it's all that girl Jiang Yu'er's fault!"

"I don't know what stroke of luck they had, but they brought back just one pill, and now Grandpa talks about her all the time, praising her to everyone he meets. My second uncle's family is practically strutting around like crazy!"

"Hmph," Jiang Tianxiong sneered, his voice filled with disappointment and disdain, "You still have the nerve to blame others? Look for the reasons within yourself first!"

"Look at how others become a father's asset, and then look at you... What use are you to me!"

"What use are you to me!"

These five words struck Jiang Hao's heart like an invisible hammer blow. His father's scolding was more humiliating than any other person's ridicule.

A surge of anger coursed through his chest; he needed to vent, he needed a target he could strike and destroy with all his might.

The next second, without saying a word, he turned around and strode towards the family's private tennis court.

As soon as he arrived at the tennis court, he saw Jiang Yuer.

She was practicing her swing alone on the court, sweat dampening her temples, and her tight-fitting sportswear accentuated her excellent figure.

Jiang Hao's eyes flickered, and an idea popped into his head.

He picked up a racket from the side, put on a smiling face, and walked over.

"Little Yu'er, it's no fun practicing alone."

Jiang Hao's voice carried a flirtatious familiarity.

"I heard you're a great contributor to the Jiang family now. Come on, let your cousin spar with you."

Jiang Yuer stopped what she was doing and turned around.

She looked at Jiang Hao, who had a malicious expression, with a calm gaze.

All the younger generation in the Jiang family, as long as they aren't too bad at it, can cultivate to a fairly high level of martial arts with the help of the family's resources.

For example, Jiang Hao and Jiang Yu'er are both at the Transformation Realm cultivation level.

In the past, the two had sparred several times, with the outcome always being close to 50/50.

"Okay, cousin."

Jiang Yu'er agreed readily.

Her nonchalant attitude made Jiang Hao, who had prepared a lot of sarcastic remarks, feel like he had punched a cotton ball, leaving him feeling a little uncomfortable.

He felt that Jiang Yuer was faking it.

Game start.

Jiang Hao stood at the baseline and immediately put all his strength into it.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball, accompanied by the whooshing sound of the wind, hurtled towards Jiang Yuer's half of the court.

He wanted to use absolute power to beat Jiang Yuer so badly she had to run all over the place and make her lose face in front of him.

However, just as the ball bounced off the ground, a figure nimbly appeared at the landing point.

Jiang Yuer simply flicked her wrist and sent the ball flying back.

Jiang Hao was taken aback, not expecting her to react so quickly.

He quickly adjusted his position and launched another fierce attack.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

On the court, Jiang Hao was like a bull, putting all his strength into every shot, and his back was quickly soaked with sweat.

In contrast, Jiang Yuer's footwork was incredibly light, always able to anticipate the landing point, standing there easily and returning the ball in the most effortless way.

After several rounds, Jiang Hao was already panting heavily, but Jiang Yu'er's breathing remained perfectly steady.

The scoreboard displayed glaring numbers that showed Jiang Hao's sorry state.

He didn't score a single point.

Several members of the collateral branches who had come to watch the commotion began to whisper among themselves.

"Hao-ge doesn't seem right today?"

"It's not that Brother Hao is in a bad state, it's that Sister Yu'er... seems to have become much stronger."

These whispers reached Jiang Hao's ears, making his face burn with embarrassment.

He was furious and embarrassed.

In another round, Jiang Hao seized the opportunity, leaped high, and executed a powerful smash.

But at the moment of swinging the racket, the angle of his wrist changed slightly.

The tennis ball didn't hit the open ground; instead, it flew straight towards Jiang Yu'er's face!

"what!"

A gasp escaped from the crowd of onlookers.

If that shot lands, even if Jiang Yu'er is a martial arts master, her nose will collapse.

Just as the tennis ball was about to hit her face, Jiang Yu'er's eyes turned cold.

She simply tilted her body to the side and her head slightly turned, and the tennis ball, whistling through the air, flew past her cheek.

As she dodged, the racket in her hand had already moved.

With a slight flick of his wrist, he hit a tricky drop shot at the net, aimed at the bouncing tennis ball.

The tennis ball grazed the edge of the net and landed softly at Jiang Hao's feet.

Jiang Hao had just landed and had no time to react. In order to save the ball, he lunged forward.

As a result, he slipped and fell hard to the ground, getting his mouth full of rubber.

The entire room fell silent.

Jiang Hao lay on the ground, his mouth filled with the smell of the plastic track.

He pushed himself up slowly, his face turning a deep purplish-red. The stares from the other children of the collateral branches made his face burn.

He completely lost face in front of so many people.

He pointed at Jiang Yu'er, his voice trembling with anger: "Don't be so smug! It was just good luck; she somehow got hold of a pill that saved Grandpa!"

"The position of head of the family will be mine sooner or later!"

Jiang Yu'er wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel, not even glancing at him, and simply said, "Luck? A loser can always blame everything on luck."

She draped the towel over her shoulder, glanced at Jiang Hao, and continued, "My strength has improved, thanks to Grandpa. Unlike some people who only waste their energy on crooked ways."

"you!"

Jiang Hao was so angry that his blood boiled. Just as he was about to rush up and argue with her, a young man in a suit ran over from a distance, looking flustered.

She is his assistant.

The assistant rushed to his side, barely catching his breath, and whispered a few words in his ear.

The anger on Jiang Hao's face instantly froze.

He grabbed his assistant by the collar, his voice distorted, sharp and grating: "What did you say?! Yun Jingxing is dead?! He was dueling someone at Qixia Mountain and was killed by a man named Master Ye with a single sword strike?"

"Yun Jingxing is a veteran Celestial Realm expert, how could he be so easily killed? Who is the opponent? They must have done something to tamper with things!"

"Are you sure it wasn't those martial artists from Jiangnan Province who broke the duel rules and rashly joined forces to kill us?"

His shout drew the attention of everyone around him.

The assistant, gripped by him, trembled violently and nodded, his face pale.

"There are indeed many suspicious points about this matter... but the news is absolutely true, and it's causing a sensation throughout the martial arts community in Jiangnan!"

"Medicine King Valley...Medicine King Valley's status has plummeted, and all the money we invested is gone!"

Jiang Hao seemed to have been struck by lightning; his body swayed, and his hand loosened its grip.

The assistant slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

it's over...

Jiang Hao's mind was filled with only these two words.

Jiangnan Province is the region that their eldest branch has always been responsible for.

Medicine King Valley is their home, and also the most important business partner of his father, Jiang Tianxiong.

Not long ago, his father defied public opinion and led the family to invest an astronomical sum in the Medicine King Valley's martial arts medicine project.

His father had a very good plan.

Once the old man passes away, with the huge profits from this project and the allied power of Medicine King Valley, he will be able to completely overwhelm the second branch of the family and secure his position as the head of the Jiang family.

But now...

Yun Jingxing is dead.

Medicine King Valley has fallen.

"It's over...it's all over..." Jiang Hao muttered to himself, his eyes vacant.

There's absolutely no hope for him to become the head of the family.

That huge investment also went down the drain.

He didn't even dare to imagine the fierce storm his father would face in front of the board of directors and family elders when the news reached the family.

His prestige and status will plummet.

Jiang Hao's expression changed, and he said fiercely, "Investigate! Don't overlook any clues! If there are no leads, bring this Master Ye to me!"

"This kid is absolutely implicated in this matter! Even if there's no resolution, what's wrong with me, Jiang Hao, eliminating this guy? We absolutely cannot suffer losses for no reason!"

Jiang Yu'er was taken aback upon hearing this. Master Ye?

She blinked, as if remembering something, and her cheeks suddenly flushed red.

Could it be that villain?
