City: I Started As A Rich Second Generation Villain - Chapter 35: The Arrival of Su Chen and Li Xixue

Since childhood, Yu Miaojin had watched the TV drama about Pin Ru and Hong Shixian, which left a profound impression on her.

It also made her uninterested in matters such as marrying into a wealthy family.

Moreover, Yu Miaojin didn’t even dare to think about whether Gu Junqing would marry her.

She felt that as long as she could continue being sweet and intimate with Gu Junqing like this, she would already be very satisfied.

She also didn’t particularly care how many women Gu Junqing had, as long as she held a place in his heart.

Because she knew that Gu Junqing would definitely have more than just her in the future.

“Hmph, as long as you can still remember me in the future, that’s enough. Just make sure to visit me often!”

Yu Miaojin snorted.

“Don’t worry. I, Gu Junqing, am not that kind of person. Although I might be a bit of a scoundrel, I won’t abandon anyone after toying with their feelings. I’ll take responsibility for every one of you.”

Women’s thoughts are so hard to figure out. Little girls are much easier to handle, Gu Junqing thought helplessly. He really wanted to know how Yu Miaojin’s thoughts had suddenly jumped to whether he would forget her or not.

“Is that so? I don’t believe it! Look at all the pretty little girls surrounding you!”

Although Yu Miaojin wore a skeptical expression, the smile on her face clearly revealed her happiness.

“Hmph, smooth talker. I don’t believe you.”

Yu Miaojin snorted again. She truly couldn’t leave Gu Junqing now. She felt that although he was bad, his words were quite sweet.

The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon technique was indeed powerful. Gu Junqing was still grateful that he had drawn this technique back then.

He felt that this technique not only enhanced his muscle density, making him stronger, but also improved his resistance to blows. What once caused pain with ten pounds of force now required twenty pounds to achieve the same effect.

Gu Junqing’s combat power had already broken through 200, a testament to how powerful he had become.

If Su Chen still possessed the strength he had when Gu Junqing first saw his stats, he probably wouldn’t even be able to break through Gu Junqing’s defense.

Gu Junqing’s physical fitness was now almost comparable to a small car—one collision could smash through a wall.

After chatting a bit more with Yu Miaojin, Gu Junqing decided to return to class.

As soon as he stood up, Yu Miaojin instructed him, “There might be two transfer students joining later. Since there’s an empty seat next to you, let the new student sit beside you.”

“Sure, sure, whatever you say, I’ll agree to it.”

Gu Junqing replied lazily, then stepped forward and patted Yu Miaojin’s head. There was no need for her to even bring up such a small request.

He wouldn’t deny Yu Miaojin such a minor favor.

“Hmph, this rotten man, always fooling me,” Yu Miaojin grumbled in mock disgust.

When Gu Junqing returned to the classroom, he found everyone already discussing the new students, guessing whether they were male or female.

Soon after, Yu Miaojin walked in, smiling as she escorted two new students into the classroom.

She had personally gone to pick them up and bring them to class.

“Students, quiet down! Today, let’s welcome two new classmates!” Yu Miaojin’s voice echoed through the classroom.

The class immediately fell silent, waiting for the two new students to enter.

Gu Junqing narrowed his eyes as he watched the male student walk in and realized it was Su Chen, who had been missing for nearly a week.

Moreover, his expression was filled with confidence, no longer as awkward as when he had first descended the mountain.

Even his attire had begun to lean toward urban styles, no longer carrying an ancient flair.

Immediately, Gu Junqing activated his Insight Eye to check Su Chen’s status.

【Protagonist: Su Chen】
【Age: 18】
【Protagonist Trope: Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain】
【Charm Value: 85】
【Combat Power: 210】
【Skills: Grandmaster-level Medical Arts, Master-level Appraisal Technique, Advanced…, Advanced…】

Gu Junqing’s expression instantly darkened. He discovered that Su Chen’s attributes had significantly improved in the week since they last met. His combat power had risen from around 180 to 210, and his medical skills had advanced from Master-level to Grandmaster-level.

Gu Junqing fell silent as he looked at the data. He realized that the current progression could no longer strictly follow the original novel’s plot.

He speculated that the Heavenly Dao had noticed how powerful Gu Junqing, the major antagonist, had become. If the protagonist didn’t seek opportunities to advance, he would no longer be a match for him.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao of this world couldn’t surpass his System’s dominance. After all, one was of multiversal caliber, while the other was merely the Heavenly Dao of a minor world.

Moreover, it was clear that this Heavenly Dao exercised restraint—it hadn’t gone too far. Thankfully, this level of progress was still within Gu Junqing’s control.

Lost in thought, he didn’t notice that the two had already finished introducing themselves.

Yu Miaojin asked the girl to sit next to Gu Junqing.

Gu Junqing didn’t pay any attention to the girl; he didn’t even clearly see her face, as his focus remained entirely on Su Chen.

After all, Su Chen was crucial to his life and death. Besides, what did a girl matter? Women would only slow down his draw.

But when Gu Junqing finally saw the girl, he understood—he truly understood.

Women really would slow down his draw.

Her beauty was like the peach blossoms of early spring, pure and elegant like chrysanthemums in late autumn.

A stunning cascade of black hair flowed down like a waterfall; arched brows like crescent moons; enchanting eyes capable of captivating souls; a delicate and elegant nose; slightly blushing cheeks; cherry-like lips; a face as refined as carved jade; and skin as fair and translucent as snow and ice.

Her beauty was no less than Murong Wan’s.

Gu Junqing quickly used his Insight Eye to check. He felt that such a beauty, clearly close to Su Chen, must be either the female lead or an important supporting character.

【Female Lead: Li Xixue】
【Age: 18】
【Charm Value: 90 (Average: 50)】
【Female Lead’s Luck: 872】

So she was indeed a female lead. Judging by her surname, Li, and her closeness to Su Chen, she must be the first female lead in Su Chen’s novel, The Alluring Bones: Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain to Conquer the City.

Li Xixue—from the Li family, one of the Four Great Families of Luodu, on par with the Gu family. Gu Junqing narrowed his eyes.

According to the novel, Su Chen, the protagonist of the “Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain” trope, had been forced by his master to come down the mountain to fulfill a marriage agreement. Initially unwilling to marry, Su Chen changed his mind after seeing Li Xixue’s beauty and considering the Li family’s prestige, shamelessly deciding to stay.

Coincidentally, the Li family also wished to form an alliance with Su Chen’s mysterious master, so they allowed Su Chen to remain.

As for the female lead, Li Xixue, she would definitely dislike him at first—this was the opening Gu Junqing could exploit.

Gu Junqing narrowed his eyes, his mind already brewing new schemes.

In fact, he already had a general plan in mind—to pursue Li Xixue himself and prevent their marriage from ever happening. However, there were inherent difficulties in executing it.

Moreover, based on the existing information, the situation had already begun to deviate from the original plot of the novel. Gu Junqing could only proceed step by step, calculating as he went.

Unlike Lin Tian, whose entire storyline Gu Junqing had essentially mapped out while taking each step, this was what it meant to strategize an entire act with every move.
