"What do you think? Do you feel anything wrong right now?" The old man appeared calm and composed, with an expression of tranquility, as if nothing was really wrong.

Qhianqhian nodded, "I feel uneasy, my heart is pounding so fast."

"That’s excitement!" The old man sighed helplessly, waved his hand to the side, and the familiar secret manual appeared in front of Luo Qianqian again.

Qhianqhian was stunned, "This is..."

"Keep going, or should you be defeated by those insignificant people? What are we talking about rescuing people for then?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Qhianqhian was taken aback, then nodded and opened the secret manual.

She didn’t know how much time had passed before she digested the content of that page. With a baffled look, she nodded, glanced at the old man, who had already feigned sleep, and sighed softly, "Go out."

As Qhianqhian looked around the room, she saw Qin Nuan had fallen asleep by the bedside and was surprised to find a blanket covering her.

Looking out the window, it was still sunny, but the sunlight seemed a bit hotter than before?

Startled by Qhianqhian’s movement, Qin Nuan said, "Qhianqhian, you’re awake?"

She rubbed her eyes, lifted her head, saw Qhianqhian sitting up, and was overjoyed, quietly letting out a sigh of relief.

"Hmm... Is something wrong?" Looking at Qin Nuan’s demeanor, Qhianqhian felt something was off, frowning slightly.

It was rare to see Qin Nuan’s cold face. She glared at Qhianqhian, "You dare ask? I woke up and saw you with a nosebleed passed out on the bed, almost scared me to death!"

Nosebleed? Reaching out, she touched her nose but only smelled the scent of lemon.

Looking at the lemon-scented wipes to the side, she suddenly understood.

"Sorry for worrying you." Qhianqhian looked apologetically.

"What happened?" She distinctly remembered seeing Qhianqhian verbally sparring with ’the air’, like a lunatic, then she watched her enter a cultivation state, played on the computer for a while, and somehow fell asleep, waking up to an even more frightening sight.

Almost thought she had entered demonhood!

"It’s nothing, probably because the indoor temperature is too high?" Qhianqhian awkwardly looked at the thermometer, the room temperature was nearly thirty degrees, was this a joke?

"Alright, I said you stayed up reading a novel till morning and that’s why you didn’t get up, don’t let it slip." Qin Nuan didn’t forget to remind Qhianqhian.

Qhianqhian was stunned, then quickly nodded, almost forgetting this was home, a slip and she’d be judged!

"Hurry downstairs, otherwise you’ll worry grandpa and grandma again." Qhianqhian quickly said.

After washing and changing clothes, she appeared vitalized in the living room, only to find unexpected guests...

"Yo, Luo Qianqian, long time no see." The visitors were Xu Xiaoxiao and Old Master Xu, and she slightly frowned.

Looking around without seeing Tang Tianyi made her breathe a sigh of relief, "Long time no see, hello, Grandpa Xu." Qhianqhian kept a stern face as she walked downstairs, expressionless.

Old Master Luo, seeing Qhianqhian in good spirits, also relaxed his previous worries, letting out a sigh of relief.

"What brings Miss Xu to honor our humble home?" Qhianqhian pulled Qin Nuan to sit by Old Master Luo, one on each side, massaging Old Master Luo’s legs.

"Hehe, didn’t I hear you were abandoned... ahem, had your engagement with the Jimo Family annulled, came specifically to check... console you." Xu Xiaoxiao had a mocking look, as if she foresaw Luo Qianqian’s future misery.

Qhianqhian, however, just smiled, "Really? Miss Xu isn’t busy preparing for the exams? Looks like you’ve got it all figured out? Certainly, a school so small like mine isn’t enough for you, I wonder which one you’re planning to..."

"Ahem, what are you saying?" Qin Nuan received a look from Luo Yanran from the side and gently nodded, chidingly glancing at Qhianqhian, "Of course, she’s bound to be accepted by a foreign school early, where can our small school match up?"

Xu Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale.

Qhianqhian was obviously doing it on purpose, she knew Xu Xiaoxiao’s grades well enough to know they’re not up to par, let alone talking about some foreign early admission?

"Hehe, my Xiaoxiao is not as capable as Qianqian, she just plans to attend a casual school for two years then marry someone." Old Master Xu smiled faintly.

"Oh." Qhianqhian nodded knowingly, "Indeed, even if I graduate after four years, I’m still not of age, age is such a limiting factor, sigh."

The disdain in her eyes was obvious, came here to pick a fight as a group? Well, don’t expect a smooth return!

"Who is Miss Xu planning to marry? Is it Brother Tiger? Brother Long? Or maybe Leopard Brother or Brother Snake?" She looked inquisitive, tapping not too gently or harshly on Old Master Luo’s leg.

Old Master Luo comfortably sat there, too lazy to engage with these obvious troublemakers.

"Qianqian, can’t you speak nicely?" Qin Nuan glared with reproach, her voice a bit colder.

Qhianqhian was dumbfounded, speak nicely? How to speak nicely?

"Can’t people marry normal people? Why must they marry those cold-blooded beasts?" Qin Nuan reproached, "Even if someone really likes you, you can’t talk like that, how many times have I told you, be courteous, even if she marries Rat Brother, you should respectfully call her Sister-in-law Rat, never tell secrets or hit below the belt, insulting people to their face will get you beaten!"

"It’s not like I haven’t been beaten before. Don’t you know my skills now are all honed by this one? If something like being slapped on the street happens again, wouldn’t I be shameless?" Qhianqhian put on a pitiful face.

Qin Nuan looked at her in disbelief, "Assaulted on the street? Why wouldn’t you just kick them flying, then call the police? And call the mental hospital while you’re at it? Who in their right mind would do that?"

"Exactly! Oh, the memories that shouldn’t be recalled, I was young then, naive maybe, grudged perhaps?" Qhianqhian feigned a sorrowful sigh, "Maybe it’s natural beauty not to be abandoned, my looks have aroused the heavens’ jealousy."

"You’re too much..." Qin Nuan stared at Qhianqhian, wanting to laugh, then looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, then earnestly said, "Possible, but if so, then every woman should be getting beaten, oh gosh, what to do? Have a sex change surgery or never leave the house?"

Both now had self-defense capability, utterly reckless.

"Ahem..." Old Master Luo saw Old Master Xu’s face darken, but still laughed as he stopped the two, "You two, straightforward as always, how many times have I told you, wait until there are no outsiders before speaking, if not for your Grandpa Xu and your Sister Xu not minding, I’d definitely spank you till you cried!" Saying that, he feigned seriousness as he reached for Luo Qianqian’s backside.
