In the living room, a three-way standoff was unfolding.
Jiang Junyi sat on the sofa, facing Wan Xiaoxiao, with Wan Qingyun in her wheelchair between them.
Wan Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly red, her gaze fixed on Jiang Junyi.
Jiang Junyi wore a helpless expression: "That's how it is. I am now your sister's lawful husband, and your legitimate brother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Wan Xiaoxiao looked stunned, turning incredulously to Wan Qingyun:
"Sister… we've grown up depending on each other until now. We agreed to live our lives together…"
Wan Qingyun's expression dimmed, clearly recalling past events…
Jiang Junyi felt a headache coming on. This girl… she's a bit difficult to deal with…
However, her protectiveness towards her sister was truly commendable.
Wan Qingyun's expression flickered, but finally, as if having made up her mind, she sighed softly:
"Xiao Xiao, this was arranged by Grandpa back then. I'm sure he wouldn't want us to be untrustworthy."
"We are weak now, and Sister doesn't want a situation like today to happen again."
As she spoke, Wan Qingyun gripped the armrests of her wheelchair tightly, her mind still unsettled by what had happened earlier.
"Besides, I've made three agreements with him. Will you trust your Sister?"
Wan Xiaoxiao wiped the corner of her eye: "Really?"
"Of course, it's true."
Wan Xiaoxiao turned to Jiang Junyi: "Is what my Sister said true?"
Wan Qingyun also turned to Jiang Junyi, a hint of apprehension on her face.
She was afraid that Wan Xiaoxiao might provoke Jiang Junyi, causing him to become displeased and reveal the truth directly.
Jiang Junyi also noticed the tension on Wan Qingyun's face and smiled slightly:
"Yes, your Sister is right. To fulfill my grandfather's agreement, I promised your Sister to help you both become independent."
The two sisters simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.
Uncle Wu walked over at this moment and whispered something into Jiang Junyi's ear.
Jiang Junyi nodded: "Alright, I'll head back immediately."
He stood up and looked at Wan Qingyun: "Qingyun, I have something to attend to back home. Get some good rest~"
Wan Qingyun nodded gently: "Okay."
As Jiang Junyi departed, the room seemed to instantly lose its vibrant color.
Wan Qingyun gazed in the direction Jiang Junyi had left, somewhat lost in thought.
He left…
It wasn't until Wan Xiaoxiao pushed her towards the study: "Sister…"
"What is it, Xiao Xiao?"
"Nothing…"
If he's really good… then Sister won't have to work so hard, right…
But before that, he still needed to be observed.
"Are you thinking about today's events?"
"Mm…"
"Don't worry, Sister won't let anyone bully us again."
"Mm!"
…
Meanwhile.
Jiang Junyi got into the car, a smile on his face.
What a beautiful day!
Right, let's see how much Pure Love Value I have now.
Jiang Junyi opened the system panel and saw a line—
[Pure Love Value: 100]
Tsk tsk, not bad.
He thought to himself: System, what can I exchange Pure Love Value for now?
[Ding~ Detecting that the Pure Love Object will have a serendipitous encounter tonight~ It is recommended that the Host prioritize exchanging for a D-level confidential file]
Jiang Junyi clicked on a library icon, labeled as the File Repository.
Upon expanding it, the previously opened confidential file, "Basic Worldview," was displayed and lit up.
There was also a darker, unlit confidential file titled "The Genesis of Black Palace" that appeared in the File Repository.
The Pure Love Value required for exchange was 50.
That's half of today's earnings in one go.
Jiang Junyi didn't hesitate; anything concerning Wan Qingyun couldn't be overlooked.
[Ding~ Exchange complete~]
The file slowly unfolded, and Jiang Junyi carefully studied it.
[Wan Qingyun, having suffered humiliation, awakened the evil within her on this day.]
[This power seems to be closely related to the past demise of the Wan Family.]
[A star shrouded in black mist is the symbol of her power's awakening.]
[With the awakening of this power, the Lord, once feared by the world, quietly emerged.]
[Also resurrected alongside her is the hidden force known as the Black Palace, whose twelve Star Lords—Capricorn, Virgo, and Leo—are currently alive.]
[The so-called twelve Star Lords are warriors blessed by the Lord, gaining special innate abilities. They dedicate their lives to the Lord, helping her transcend all beings.]
[However, the Black Palace is currently severely weakened, and everything requires Wan Qingyun to build this organization, which once struck fear into countless forces, from scratch.]
[Current Base: Xingluo Daycare Center (Bar)]
[Recruitment Slogan: Stars Emerge from the Sky, Black Palace Forever.]
Jiang Junyi's mouth twitched. It started off quite cool, but then the tone shifted dramatically towards the end.
They even came up with a recruitment slogan…
He pondered, analyzing the file.
Firstly, today's turning point was Wan Qingyun's blackening node, but because of his appearance, it seemed she didn't blacken completely.
However, since this file appeared, it means Qingyun still successfully awakened that power.
Combined with what the system said, Qingyun will encounter people from the Black Palace tonight.
The file emphasized that Qingyun needed to rebuild her forces…
Jiang Junyi stroked his chin. What does rebuilding forces require?
Money, people, channels, equipment.
Wait, can't I just provide these things?
Jiang Junyi clenched his fist, an excited expression on his face.
He had just given Wan Qingyun proxy rights, so money might not be too scarce.
That leaves only people.
Moreover, this file also contained a recruitment slogan, so it seems this isn't a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Jiang Junyi looked up and casually asked: "Uncle Wu, does our family have any special organizations, or existences like death squads?"
Uncle Wu's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "As expected of Young Master, have you already noticed this…"
Huh? Wait a minute, there really is?
"The Family Head and Madam called you back precisely for this matter."
Jiang Junyi was now full of questions. He thought it would be cool if Wan Qingyun had such an organization around her.
So he wanted to ask if his own family, being a top wealthy family, would also have one.
He didn't expect it!
Jiang Junyi leaned back: "Cough, cough, that's natural. Your Young Master isn't that simple."
Uncle Wu's eyes were filled with admiration and relief: "You will know all these things when we arrive, Young Master."
…
Night fell, and Jiang Junyi also arrived at the Jiang Family.
However…
"My dear son! How is that Wan Family girl? If it's really not working out, Mom has other ways…" A beautiful woman sat on the sofa, pulling Jiang Junyi and asking him all sorts of questions.
Jiang Junyi smiled helplessly: "Mom, I'm very fond of her. Although she has a disability, her will is tenacious, and that alone surpasses seventy to eighty percent of girls."
Zhao Ningyu nodded repeatedly: "That's true… these days, most things can be cured… just find those traditional Chinese doctors who really know their stuff. But precious qualities are hard to find."
As soon as Jiang's mother heard her son was satisfied, she quickly changed her tone.
"I told you, that young lady isn't bad at all." Jiang Wudao also chuckled.
He was very happy that his son was willing to fulfill the marriage contract and didn't look down on her.
At this moment, Jiang Wudao clapped his hands: "Alright, let's leave this matter for now. Son, your parents have something…"
"Wait a moment." Jiang Junyi interrupted, then he looked at Uncle Wu, "Uncle Wu, please help me customize a wheelchair."
"The material must be excellent, capable of being warm in winter and cool in summer, and it must be beautiful, fitting Qingyun's temperament."
"A blanket and a cushion must also be prepared."
"The comfort level must be high."
"Mm… that's all. Go do it now; I want to see it by tomorrow afternoon."
Jiang Junyi spoke to himself, completely oblivious to Uncle Wu's wide-open mouth.
Young Master, why don't you just kill me.
Uncle Wu finally sighed: "Yes."
After Uncle Wu left, Jiang Junyi finally looked at his parents: "Let's begin."
Jiang's father and mother smiled softly; he was truly smitten.
"Cough, cough, we have something to give you."
