Top-tier Unruly Master

Ding Fan used a healing technique on Zhou Ruoran to remove her scars, a method from the Cultivation Continent called the Kunlun Hand.

The Kunlun Hand uses the host's essence as a medium, with True Qi serving as an aid to heal injuries. This technique is extremely effective, to the point where even severed limbs can be reattached, leaving no trace of the injury.

However, using the Kunlun Hand even once consumes a great amount of essence and True Qi, so it is rarely employed unless absolutely necessary.

Now, Ding Fan's cultivation was weak, and using the Kunlun Hand was proving to be even more strenuous. Lacking sufficient True Qi to heal, he had no choice but to burn his life essence.

Zhou Ruoran was a knot in Ding Fan's heart in his cultivation journey. Both as the host and personally, he owed her too much, so this knot had to be untied. Otherwise, it would affect his cultivation in the future.

Ding Fan felt that only by restoring Zhou Ruoran's appearance could this knot be undone.

Therefore, no matter what, Ding Fan had to restore Zhou Ruoran's appearance today. After parting today, they might never see each other again...

It took over half an hour for Ding Fan to finish using the Kunlun Hand. The technique had consumed a lot of Ding Fan's True Qi, leaving him feeling waves of weakness.

Ding Fan glanced at Zhou Ruoran on the hospital bed. Her face was covered in blood, all of which was his own. Confident, Ding Fan knew that once the blood was cleaned off her face, she would be able to return to her former appearance.

Ding Fan had wanted to wipe the blood from Zhou Ruoran's face himself, but at that moment, a series of footsteps could be heard from the hallway. Employing his Divine Sense to scan outside, he realized the person approaching was none other than Hu Jin.

Without daring to stay any longer, Ding Fan pushed open the room door and, without a second glance, disappeared at the end of the corridor with his back to Hu Jin.

Hu Jin had some family matters yesterday, so she hadn't come to accompany Zhou Ruoran. Today, she got up early to visit the hospital. But just as she arrived at the door to Zhou Ruoran's room, she saw a figure leaving the room.

Hu Jin was startled. Why would a man be coming out of Zhou Ruoran's hospital room? She ran into the room immediately.

"Ah..." Upon seeing Zhou Ruoran's bloodied face, Hu Jin screamed in fear.

"Ruoran!"...

...

"Man Er, I've arranged to meet Elder Qian at the Dongting Household outside the city. My car is already outside. When shall we leave?"

Su Maner had just finished breakfast when Qi Sirong arrived.

"We can't go!"

At that moment, Su Qinger ran down from upstairs.

"Qinger, what did you say?" Qi Sirong looked puzzled at Su Qinger beside him.

"I said that my sister and I won't be going anywhere today," Qinger said seriously.

"Qinger, stop being childish. Elder Qian is highly respected, and we were supposed to meet him yesterday. Postponing to today is already impolite. How can we persist in breaking our word?" Su Maner said.

With a smile, Qi Sirong added, "Qinger, it's very hard to get an appointment with Elder Qian, and I went through a lot of trouble for this."

As if she hadn't heard Qi Sirong, Su Qinger sat down in front of her sister. "Sister, I believe in Brother Fan. We simply can't go today."

Brother Fan? Qi Sirong's gaze flickered...

"Qinger..." Su Maner sighed deeply and then spoke earnestly, "Qinger, you must understand I won't let you be at a disadvantage. That Ding Fan is just a Casanova. If you keep mingling with him, someday you'll sink too deep."

"Man Er, what's going on?" Qi Sirong asked casually.

"Ding Fan called early this morning, telling Qinger to inform me not to leave the house before 8 o'clock, saying that there was some matter he would come to handle..." Su Maner responded without holding back.

Qi Sirong looked at his watch; it was already past seven. Not much time was left until eight o'clock.

Knowing about the confrontation between the Fifth Elder and Ding Fan last night, and being a member of the White Lotus Sect, Qi Sirong was certainly aware of it.

Since the Fifth Elder took action last night and there had been no news from him until now, and Ding Fan called them to stay put before eight o'clock this morning...

A bad premonition crossed his mind, and Qi Sirong suspected that Ding Fan might have seen the letter he had written to the Fifth Elder.

With eight o'clock fast approaching, Qi Sirong knew he couldn't delay any longer.

"Man Er, Elder Qian always values punctuality. Today is our first meeting; if we're late, that wouldn't be good," Qi Sirong said.

Su Maner nodded. "Qinger, stop throwing a tantrum. Let's get ready; we'll leave now."

"I'm not going!" Su Qinger was resolute.

"Ding Fan? Have you arrived?!" Qi Sirong suddenly shouted toward the direction behind the two women.

Su Qinger quickly turned to look, while Su Maner felt a burst of anger. That Ding Fan had the audacity to barge into her home.

However, when the two women turned around, there was no one there.

Just at that moment, a strange fragrance wafted through the air, and Su Maner looked at Qi Sirong with some surprise. The aroma clearly came from him. "What are you doing..."

A hint of sinister smile crossed Qi Sirong's face.

At this point, Su Qinger stood guard in front of Su Maner with a defensive look. "I won't let you hurt my sister."

However, both of them suddenly felt waves of dizziness.

Qi Sirong's mouth curled up slightly. "I had wanted to ask you to leave politely, but since you're not cooperating, don't blame me now."

"You... you..."

By now, Su Maner realized the gravity of the situation; it was clear that Qi Sirong intended to harm her.

Regretting, but too late, Su Maner's body felt soft and unable to move.

"Such beauty, it would be such a waste not to serve a man well. Today, I will properly show you the pleasures of being a woman..." Qi Sirong said, licking his lips.

"Even if I die... I won't let you succeed..." Su Maner glared fiercely at Qi Sirong.

"The problem is, you can't die... After you've enjoyed the taste of being a woman, whether you live or die is none of my concern. Then, you can do whatever you want!"

At that, Qi Sirong snapped his fingers and lightly touched Su Maner and Su Qinger, silencing the sisters instantly.

Unable to move or speak, they were no different from the living dead at this point, completely at the mercy of others.

Qi Sirong then helped both sisters into the car one after the other.

However, just as Qi Sirong was about to drive away, a black sedan suddenly blocked the road, stopping his car.

The Su sisters couldn't speak or move, but they could clearly see what was happening outside. Seeing the black sedan, they felt as if they were seeing a savior.

Su Maner knew that if they were truly taken away by Qi Sirong, she and her sister would be doomed. In her despair, she even thought about death. But seeing the black sedan, Su Maner clung to it like a drowning person grasping at a straw for life.

However, when she saw who was getting out of the car, her hope deflated instantly.

The person who stepped out of the black sedan was none other than Li Guanglin, in a suit and holding a bouquet of roses.

Li Guanglin had been waiting at the doorstep of the Su Family since early morning, with his clothes and flowers all painstakingly prepared, all to make a declaration of love to Su Maner upon her emergence.

Li Guanglin had taken a detour to the bathroom mid-way, which is why he only saw the moment Su Maner was carried into the car by Qi Sirong. When Qi Sirong tried to drive away, he blocked the car with his own.

A frown briefly marred Qi Sirong's brow. He didn't recognize Li Guanglin.

"I am a department manager at Qin's Group headquarters. I need to see Maner; I have something to say..." Li Guanglin got out of the car, walked over with an air of authority, and said to Qi Sirong.

"Scram!" Qi Sirong was in a hurry to leave this problematic place and did not expect this damn obstacle.

Li Guanglin did not anticipate being insulted like that. "Kid, what's your name, daring to curse at me..."

Li Guanglin rambled on, which greatly annoyed Qi Sirong. Instantly, he leapt out of the car and kicked Li Guanglin fiercely.

Li Guanglin hadn't expected Qi Sirong to strike, and he was immediately sent sprawling.

"Damn it! You dare fight me, huh? If I don't show you some moves, you'd really think my taekwondo was for nothing." Li Guanglin got up from the ground, dusted off his backside, and assumed a taekwondo stance.

What the hell!

Qi Sirong initially thought that a single kick would take care of Li Guanglin, but he didn't anticipate facing someone as tenacious as Xiao Qiang.

"Wow, so you want to kidnap Maner... Now that I've stumbled upon this, I certainly cannot ignore it."

From Li Guanglin's perspective, he could see the Su sisters slumped in the back seat. Li Guanglin considered Qi Sirong frail and not a match for him—now was a perfect opportunity to play the hero and save the damsels in distress.

Qi Sirong's eyes flashed with a ruthless glare. "Seeking death!"

Li Guanglin lunged forward, aiming a powerful punch at Qi Sirong's face.

Qi Sirong didn't even bother to dodge, easily grabbing Li Guanglin's fist with one hand, and with the other, he swung his palm and slapped Li Guanglin's face repeatedly.

Smack, smack, smack... At least a dozen slaps were delivered. Li Guanglin had no chance to defend himself, and in just moments, his face was swollen.

"Bro, stop hitting... I was wrong, isn't it enough if I scram?" Li Guanglin was now crying a river of tears and snot.

"Scram!" Qi Sirong kicked Li Guanglin in the stomach.

Li Guanglin picked himself up from the ground and, without a second glance at the Su sisters slumped inside the car, ran off as if fleeing for his life...
