Ever since Xue Beng was brutally beaten by Zu Zong and Xiao Wu over six months ago, he'd harbored a grudge and sought revenge. However, Xue Beng was highly regarded by the Education Committee, and even his unfathomable "big brother," Xue Qinghe, had warned him against any ulterior motives.
Initially believing revenge hopeless, he was overjoyed when he learned Zu Zong had been captured by Dugu Bo. He rushed to the Tiandou Auction and bought two beautiful waitresses, creating a perfect match.
Who could have imagined Zu Zong's return, so vibrant and full of life?
"Oh?" Zu Zong's eyes narrowed. "It seems His Highness Xue Beng is surprised to still be alive!"
"How dare you! Who are you to disrespect His Highness Xue Beng? Kneel down and send that girl over here to apologize. Otherwise, I'll make you pay for it."
The speaker was a Shamatte youth, seemingly in his early twenties, with pale skin and sunken eyes. He bore the appearance of a frequent visitor to prostitutes, drained of his energy.
He was Xue Beng's new recruit this month. Knowing Xue Beng's fondness for beautiful women, he immediately offered his attentions, hoping to please Xue Beng.
Upon hearing this, Xue Beng cursed the Shamatte youth for being an idiot. With three members of the Education Committee and his "big brother" standing behind him, even he didn't dare to provoke him. Hadn't he seen the other once-brash young men now refusing to speak out?
Sure enough, the next moment, the clan leader, without a word, tossed the Shamatte youth in front of Xiao Wu like a chicken.
Xiao Wu understood. For the past month training with the clan leader, she'd always been abused, and she'd been wanting to beat him up for a long time.
"Super special move—Eight-section Throw."
"Ah!" With a scream, the Shamatte youth experienced a heart-wrenching pain.
The clan leader glanced coldly at the young men behind Xue Beng.
"Gu!" Everyone instinctively stepped back, swallowing hard.
The Shamatte youth had been dealt a terrible beating, and they didn't want to experience it. Only Xue Beng had a complicated expression.
The clan leader glanced at Xue Beng, then took Xiao Wu and left. No matter how deep his hiding was, what difference did it make? He'd find a chance to make him the next Dai Mubai or Yu Xiaogang.
The clan leader brought Xiao Wu to her residence and said with a smile, "Practice well this month. The Qirong Tongtianju medicinal properties in your body are still effective. I believe reaching level 43 in a month will be no problem."
"Yes, Xiao Zong, I will definitely practice hard," Xiao Wu replied reluctantly, her eyes slightly red. They'd only been reunited for so long, and the clan leader was leaving her again. Fortunately, she was still at Tiandou Academy, otherwise she would have burst into tears.
The clan leader pulled Xiao Wu into his arms, gently kissed her forehead, and whispered in her ear, "After the Continental High-Level Spirit Master Competition is over in a little over a year, I'll eat you."
Xiao Wu blushed. After being by the clan leader's side for so long, she naturally understood what he meant and nodded softly.
"Yes,"
the clan leader quickly returned to his own residence, closing the door behind him.
"System, transmigrate to the Qin's Moon world."
[Ding, 'Qin's Moon' is a low-level world, consume 1000 hatred points.]
With the clan leader as the center, space distorted, and in the blink of an eye, the clan leader disappeared.
When the clan leader reappeared, he had arrived in the Ghost Valley of Yunmeng Mountain in the Qin's Moon world. Compared to three months ago, perhaps due to the addition of Xuan Jian's family, under Wei Xianxian's care, the surroundings had changed slightly, with a touch of life and a less aloof presence.
Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie were slightly stunned by the clan leader's arrival. This time, the clan leader was not wearing a mask.
"What's wrong? Brother Wei Zhuang, Brother Gai Nie, it's only been a few months since we last met, and you don't recognize me so quickly?" the clan leader asked.
Wei Zhuang snorted, sheathed his shark tooth, and leaned against the wooden pillar, silencing his pretense.
Gai Nie, on the other hand, was much more composed. He bowed and said, "I'm so ashamed. I didn't expect Brother Lan to be so young. It's beyond my expectations."

"Brother Lan" was Gai Nie's way of addressing his clan leader. He hadn't revealed his real name when he first arrived at Ghost Valley. After all, the name "clan leader" was too vulgar in this era of contention. Glancing at his long, silver-blue hair, he simply called himself Lan Zong.
He nodded, and with a flash of golden light, he retrieved two jars of soul wine from his system storage, tossing them at Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie. These were specially purchased from the Tiandou Auction House, and were far superior to the century-old soul wine they'd previously purchased.
Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie each grabbed the wine, their faces filled with surprise.
Gai Nie said, "This is—"
The clan leader smiled faintly, adding, "This is soul wine. You should have tried it last time."
They were no strangers to the clan's wine; it was not only incredibly flavorful but also possessed the power-enhancing properties of martial arts.
"This wine is worth a thousand gold. Gai Nie is unworthy of it," Gai Nie said with a bow. He was never one to accept favors lightly.
As for Wei Zhuang, after a moment of stunned silence, he opened the bottle and drank without hesitation.
The clan leader's mouth twitched. This wasn't a thousand gold coins; he'd bought them for five thousand soul coins a bottle. If he hadn't made millions selling guns to Ning Fengzhi, he wouldn't have been willing
to part with them. The clan leader said, "I consider you two friends. No need to be so fussy. Look at Brother Wei Zhuang; he's never polite to me."
"Friends?" Gai Nie nodded. "In that case, Gai Nie respectfully obeys."
"Anything else?" Wei Zhuang said coldly, putting on a pretentious face.
"Uh." The clan leader looked at Wei Zhuang's empty bottle, tossed out another bottle of soul wine, and said awkwardly, "Brother Wei Zhuang is really not polite."
With that, the clan leader said goodbye to Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang and headed towards Xuan Jian's residence. He feared staying any longer would lead to Wei Zhuang's extortion again.
Watching the clan leader's embarrassed departure, Wei Zhuang's lips curled into a smile.
After walking several miles, the clan leader arrived at Xuan Jian's family's residence.
Now, several months had passed, and the environment had changed dramatically. Not only was a thatched hut added, but fields and vegetable gardens were also cultivated around it.
Xuan Jian was seen sweating in the fields, while Wei Xianxian was taking care of the children.
Although life was poor, it was so warm. This was the way it was in that era. As long as there was a mouthful of food to eat and no worries about life, the people were very satisfied.
Noticing the arrival of the clan leader, Wei Xianxian hurriedly protected her child, and only felt relieved after seeing the clan leader's hair and clothes clearly.
Wei Xianxian bowed and saluted, "Xianxian greets benefactor."
The clan leader did not make contact with her, but used the method of controlling the crane and capturing the dragon to help her up, and said with a faint smile, "Miss Wei, there is no need to do this."
At this time, Xuan Jian also came over. After seeing the clan leader's appearance clearly, he let down his guard and knelt on one knee, "Xuan Jian greets benefactor."
Seeing the two of them kneeling and saluting, the clan leader had a headache, "Miss Wei, Xuan Jian, you two don't have to treat me like this. When getting along with others, everyone is equal. There is no superiority or inferiority. If you do this again next time, I won't dare to come."
Xuan Jian stood up and smiled awkwardly, "My benefactor is right."
