["Your vacation has ended, and the next one is about to begin..."]
Jiang Yan suddenly interrupted the system's direct transmission, smiling as she asked, "How well did I complete my task?"
After a series of abnormal worlds and unexpected events, the system finally determined that Jiang Yan was no ordinary person.
But after observing silently from behind for so long, it had learned to think outside the box and become more cautious.
It nonchalantly replied, "The task was completed very well."
"Very well, indeed," Jiang Yan smiled upon hearing this, then asked with feigned curiosity, "So when will the punishment end?"
The system buzzed and crackled for a moment before vaguely answering, "Soon."
Jiang Yan also felt it would be soon, judging from the system's lack of confidence in its response.
The system had never been able to do anything to her, only place her in this virtual world, attempting to make her accept her fate through predetermined storylines. While the tasks were said to have been successfully completed one after another, in reality, she had never suffered any harm.
Surely the system could see through this.
Given the current situation, it could only mean that the system had discovered this but was powerless to do anything about it, merely struggling in its dying throes.
...
Several Lexus cars—unremarkable in appearance but worth over a million—parked in an orderly fashion in front of the manor gates.
Servants waiting at the manor stepped forward to open the car doors. Subsequently, young men dressed in exquisite and expensive suits emerged from the vehicles one by one.
They were either tall and strong, handsome and delicate, or refined and dignified. Their only common feature was excellence: outstanding looks, superior physiques, exceptional talents, and even their manners and comportment adhered to a certain standard.Vissit (.)c.om for updates
However, he still didn't know what this final round would entail.
Lu Tu walked towards the great hall with the crowd, feeling bored when he suddenly noticed a familiar face beside him.
Lu Tu nudged the person with his elbow but said nothing.
But someone with the same intentions didn't need to guess to understand. Lin Muqian nodded vigorously, indicating that he was also prepared to be eliminated.
As the only son of the Lin Family, they naturally weren't willing to let him become a butler for the young miss.
The two were of one mind. Lu Tu discreetly fell to the back of the group along with Lin Muqian.
"I've heard that the Tan Family's young miss has a difficult personality, a fiery temper, and is hard to get along with," Lin Muqian whispered.
"She's just taking advantage of her status, treated like a precious treasure and spoiled rotten," Lu Tu replied, his face serious but his tone indifferent.
As the two were talking and about to turn a corner, several servants suddenly appeared in the opposite corridor. The servants were gathered around, escorting someone as they walked over.
Upon seeing these visitors, the servants neatly arranged themselves behind, presenting an impeccable image.
Lin Muqian and Lu Tu were standing at the corner when they saw the Tan Family's young miss they had just been discussing: black hair, white dress, a beautiful face, with unseeing eyes like a tranquil ink painting, and skin pale from long absence of sunlight.
Words failed to describe her adequately, but she appeared small, fragile, and delicate like a little white flower, nothing like the rumors suggested...
The servants followed behind, those closest to her watching her steps carefully, fearing she might stumble or go the wrong way. As such, they failed to notice Lu Tu at the corner. Mainly because they hadn't expected anyone to stand there without moving aside.
Lin Muqian had stepped back, and when he realized Lu Tu wasn't moving, he tried to pull him back, but to no avail.
Lu Tu stood there as if rooted to the spot, facing the direction from which the Tan Family's young miss was approaching.
