Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Ling Yun also saw his uncle's family. After giving the people he was talking to an apologetic smile, he led Tao Xin'er to Grandpa Su's side.

"Grandpa Su, Uncle Dong, Uncle Chang," Ling Yun greeted them first, and Tao Xin'er responded in kind, though the slight tremor in her voice indicated that she was not as calm as she seemed.

After the three responded, Ling Yun led Tao Xin'er to address each of her uncle's family members.

The "Sister Xiaoning" that Su Xiaoning used to love hearing now sounded somewhat ironic. Tao Xin'er's smile was like a needle piercing Su Xiaoning's heart. After nodding awkwardly, Su Xiaoning found a quiet place to sit down by herself.

"This kid!"

Su Xingguo felt he had lost face. Su Xiaoning was usually very well-behaved, raised by Qin Shuang, and both of them had the same gentle and generous personality. But today, for some reason, she had become very strange.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Qin Shuang understood the ins and outs of the situation, but Su Xingguo was too busy with work to know.

Ling Yun tried using the query on the two uncles in front of him, but found that they did not have the so-called "protagonist" destiny. It seems that even so, they are not people protected by fate.

After chatting with the group, Tao Xin'er, whose legs were a little weak, was arranged by Ling Yun to go to her aunt's place, while he ran into Fu Xuehui, who was late.

After the beautiful headmistress left, Ling Yun found Su Xiaoning quietly drinking tea.

As a young daughter of the Su family, Su Xiaoning was regarded as a goddess by many scions of prominent families. However, she was currently feeling down, and since this was the Su family's home turf, naturally no one dared to approach her.

"Sister Xiaoning, it's Grandpa's birthday today, why don't you seem happy?"

Upon hearing Ling Yun's voice, Su Xiaoning forced a smile and picked up her teacup: "Little Yun, congratulations on finding a girlfriend."

Chapter 99 My Sister Su Xiaoning [Bonus Chapter for Donations]

"Don't talk about me, Sister Xiaoning, have you looked for her yet?"

"Me?" Su Xiaoning looked at her cousin's smile and was about to say no, but for some reason, she lowered her head silently and said with a darting gaze, "I looked for him, but he's just an ordinary boy and doesn't know anything about our family."

"You have a boyfriend?" Ling Yun's smile vanished completely, and her tone became more forceful.

"Mm." Su Xiaoning was inexplicably happy to see his expression, but still replied, "I just found him, and he's very good to me."

"what is his name?"

"Call me... Oh dear, why are you asking so many questions?" Su Xiaoning couldn't think of a suitable name for the moment, so she naturally avoided the question.

“How could our Su family find an ordinary man? I’m going to do whatever it takes to help you, Sister Xiaoning, get a look.”

"It's just dating, why are you involving your family?" Su Xiaoning spoke softly, which was very pleasant to listen to.

But the more this happened, the deeper Ling Yun's jealousy burned. Damn it, he was so busy having fun that his house got robbed!

He subconsciously picked up his teacup and took a sip, completely unaware of Su Xiaoning's astonished expression. After finishing the tea, he was still unconvinced and used the query on her.

Name: Su Xiaoning

【Age: 23】

[Value: 170, D]

[Rating: 96]

[Combat Strength: F-]

[Affection: Admiration]

Damn it, I've already reached the level of affection with him, and someone still managed to steal my base?

After thinking about it, he still felt depressed. He was originally happy to see Sun Yichen's stern face today, but now his good mood was completely gone.

Seeing his sudden gloom, Su Xiaoning had an unspoken suspicion. She suppressed her almost triumphant smile and gently took Ling Yun's hand.

"Little Yun, you...you don't want me to find a boyfriend?"

"Of course not," Ling Yun replied without hesitation. "What ugly, deformed person could possibly be worthy of you!"

While Su Xiaoning was pouring tea, Ling Yun sent a message to Ling Yaxuan, asking her to investigate who Su Xiaoning had been getting close to lately and then teach him a lesson.

The three Ya Xuan sisters were lying in wait near the Su family manor when a few scattered lights caught the attention of the guards while she was checking her phone.

As guards selected from among thousands, the most outstanding young men naturally saw this glimmer of hope and responded quickly.

However, when he reached out, Ling Yaxuan and the other two women had already disappeared from the spot, and a dagger was pressed against the back of the guard's neck.

"Don't move."

“You should know where you are. How dare you, with such abilities, stand on the opposite side!” the young man said defiantly.

He saw the appearance of Ling Yaxuan and the other two women. Although their hair colors were different, their appearances were no different from those of the native Chinese.

Ling Yaxuan made a video call to Ling Yun. Ling Yun took the phone and walked to a corner, where he saw Brother Zhang, who had been captured by Ling Yaxuan and her two female companions.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, what's going on?"

"Young Master Ling?" Xiao Zhang looked utterly astonished, then stammered, "This..."

“Those three are my subordinates, they're family. Ya Xuan, put the knife away, this is Brother Zhang!”

"Yes."

Ling Yaxuan turned off her phone and put the dagger away. Xiao Zhang rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "So we're all family. But you guys are really amazing, much better than me!"

"Everyone does his job."

Ya Xuan nodded, replied in a cold tone, and led her two younger sisters to other places.

Before long, the old man received the message from below, and his gaze towards Ling Yun became even more affectionate. This grandson of his was giving him one surprise after another; he had already sensed a hint of it while they were playing chess.

The true dragon is about to emerge from the mountains, and I, the old man, must do everything I can to help!

Chapter 100 A Restless Night

After Ling Yun returned, the banquet had already officially begun. As the proceedings unfolded, Ling Yun sat down with Tao Xin'er and her uncle's family.

During this time, Su Xiaoning would occasionally glance at Ling Yun. Qin Shuang noticed this little action, but she just smiled. After all, Ling Yun was adopted, and given what the old man had said, it was naturally okay.

Unfortunately, Su Xiaoning was unable to fulfill the old man's request...

When the Sun family came over to offer a toast, Ling Yun, following Xiao Na's prompt, used the query function on Sun Yichen.

Name: Sun Yichen

【Age: 27】

[Protagonist's Fate: A man of extraordinary forbearance, about to undergo a transformation. He will obtain a ring, devoid of any living beings, yet containing a hidden mechanism capable of storing a large number of items (excluding living creatures). After obtaining the ring, with his help, the Sun family, in alliance with Chang Zhengde, plots to frame the Su family. While they cannot completely suppress them, they manage to reverse public opinion against them. Ultimately, Chang Zhengde seizes power, while Sun Yichen uses his abilities to become one of the behind-the-scenes leaders of the Sun family. Special Abilities: None]

[Recent opportunity: The "space ring" will be found around 10 PM tonight, about 10 kilometers southeast of the manor.]

【Luck: 800】

[Combat Strength: F-]

Ling Yun had just checked him and found nothing unusual. It was obviously because as time went by, his opportunity was approaching or had just appeared, which is why he became the "protagonist".

Damn it, although the "fate" section doesn't reveal a single thing about my future, it doesn't seem like it's going to be easy.

Although he didn't know how Ling Yun would use the ring to frame someone, he wasn't foolish enough to wait for someone to put a knife to his throat!

Xiao Na relayed the message to Ling Yaxuan, and Meng Xi drove southeast to search for the ring, while he stayed behind and clinked glasses with Sun Yichen.

"Little Sun, you don't mind what happened between me and Xin'er, do you?"

"Haha, what are you saying, Young Master Ling? It's Tao Xin'er's own good fortune to be with you!"

Sun Yichen smiled and clinked glasses with him, seemingly showing no intention of seeking revenge later. Ling Yun didn't say much either, and drank the wine with a smile.

Sun Yichen has been added to his kill list. Once he gets the ring, his most important opportunity will disappear, and he will probably lose the ability to compete with him forever.

After the Sun family left, Old Master Su glanced silently at Ling Yun, then looked at Su Xiaoning.

"Girl, is work still tiring?"

"Grandpa, the work isn't hard, it's actually a bit boring."

"Haha, everyone else is looking for an easy job, but you're the opposite!"

Su Xiaoning offered her grandfather a toast and then drank it all in one gulp. This time she received a satisfactory answer. Although she didn't know if she would have a chance with Ling Yun, she was still happy.

Do you like Ling Yun?

Grandpa Su's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing a look of terror to appear on Su Xiaoning's slightly tipsy face.

"Grandpa, I, I didn't..."

The two spoke very softly, and apart from Ling Yun, who had keen hearing, no one else knew.

"Don't worry, Grandpa isn't that old-fashioned. As long as you two are attracted to each other, even if your dad disagrees, Grandpa will support you. It's just a pity that you..."

It seemed like something was being mentioned, but Su Guosheng stopped abruptly, leaving Su Xiaoning somewhat curious.

"What's wrong, Grandpa?"

"Hey, it's nothing." Grandpa Su remained calm and didn't let these things affect his mood. Instead, he encouraged everyone to continue eating.

Dongtai left midway through the banquet due to being busy. Chang Zhengde glanced around the room but didn't leave immediately. Instead, he waited until the banquet ended to say goodbye to the old man before departing.

After the banquet, Liu Qiuhua arranged for someone to take Tao Xiner home, while Ling Yun returned to his room alone.

He had planned to go find Su Qingya after taking a shower, but just as he was about to open the door, he heard Liu Qiuhua and Su Qingya chatting quietly outside.

The two people were speaking very softly, and it was only thanks to his enhanced physical senses that he was able to catch the key points.

"Mom, is this really necessary?"

“Your dad is worried, even though I think the child is quite healthy.”

"But..." Su Qingya hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to do it?"

"Should I ask you or Yao Yao to come? Mom is so old, it's fine. You should rest well, okay?"

Seeing Liu Qiuhua return to her room, Ling Yun immediately ran to Su Qingya's door, but she stopped him from entering. Just as Ling Yun was feeling frustrated, he saw Liu Qiuhua walking over with a bottle of fresh milk.

"Yun'er, come on, drink this glass of milk."

"No need, I'm already full."

"You're starving, child. What nonsense are you spouting?" Liu Qiuhua smiled. "Good boy, drink this and go to sleep early, okay?"

There's a kind of hunger called "Grandma thinks you're hungry." Lingyun had no choice but to obediently drink the milk, then go back to her room, lie on the bed, and play on her phone.

Ling Yun was chatting with a few girls when a strong wave of drowsiness washed over him. Although he wanted to continue chatting, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep as soon as he put down his phone.

[Congratulations, Master, for intercepting Sun Yichen's momentous opportunity—the "Space Ring"! Since his future achievements depend entirely on this opportunity, Sun Yichen's luck has been reduced to zero! Master only needs to get close to him to plunder it... oh, Master?]

【Master, are you asleep?】

Xiao Na was busy guiding Meng Xi to find the ring, so she didn't see Ling Yun drink the milk. She didn't expect him to fall asleep so quickly.

[No, the master has been drugged!]

Chapters 101 & 102: Morning at the Su Family [Bonus Chapter for Donations]

When Lingyun woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.

He scratched his head, glanced at the time, and realized it was already past 8 o'clock, which didn't match his usual biological clock.

Although my mind was clear, I still felt something was strange. Where did I get such a strong drowsiness yesterday? My chat with the girls on my phone also came to an abrupt end, with the girls seeming to be asking me for an explanation.

After quickly calming them down one by one, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to think seriously.

"What? What the hell happened just because I took a nap?"

[I can't reveal that! By the way, dear master, Mengxi has successfully obtained the "space ring"! Sun Yichen's luck has reached zero, and you can go to his side and plunder him at any time!]

The series of surprises left Ling Yun somewhat bewildered.

Thinking of this, he quickly got dressed and ran to Su Qingya's room.

Su Qingya had just gotten up and was brushing her teeth. She glanced at Ling Yun when he came in, then continued with her work.

"Qingya, there's something I need to tell you!"

Seeing that Su Qingya remained silent, Ling Yun walked to her side and said in a serious tone.

"Qingya, my room is haunted!"

Su Qingya almost sprayed all the toothpaste out of her mouth. She looked at the young man in front of her with amusement, rinsed it off with water, and wiped herself with a towel.
