Immortal Emperor Ling Tian, who had found crucial clues about the Shen Family and the Ancient Treasure in the library, did not linger for a moment.
He returned to his student dorm room, only to find that his three utterly foolish mortal roommates were not there?
That was fine; it meant he could have some peace and quiet, and it saved him the trouble of having to waste his breath.
He walked directly to one of the desks with a laptop on it and began to seriously search for more information about the Shen Family.
Soon, he found the bounty announcement that had caused quite a stir upon its release.
First, the Shen Family was willing to offer a hefty sum to find a renowned physician capable of curing their daughter, Shen Ning霜's, rare 'cold illness.'
Second, the Shen Family was willing to sell shares in their security company, Shen's Security, to attract a powerful capital investor to help the company overcome its current bankruptcy crisis.
The grim expression on his face, which had been overshadowed by Lu Cheng's setback, finally gave way to a proud, supremely confident smile once more!
"Heh heh, interesting, truly interesting."
"This Emperor is truly destined and blessed with good fortune!"
"I was just wondering how I could legitimately get my hands on that profound yin cold jade."
"I didn't expect you foolish mortals to actively deliver this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right to this Emperor's doorstep?"
In his view, all the so-called 'catastrophes' the Shen Family was currently facing.
They were simply a perfect stage tailor-made by Heaven for him to rise again in this world!
A grand, flawless plan quickly formed in his mind!
Although he didn't know how to completely cure this so-called cold illness.
However, utilizing his Immortal Emperor-level medical insights, coupled with the true qi guidance of the Qi Refining stage, expelling the cold qi from Shen Ning霜's body would be effortless!
Afterward, refining the cold qi within her body would surely be enough to awe these ants, thereby gaining the initial trust and endless gratitude of the entire Shen Family!
After curing Shen Ning霜 and establishing a deep friendship with the Shen Family, he would then naturally reveal his astonishing martial arts cultivation.
He could then, in the capacity of a 'Martial Arts Grandmaster,' guide their backward, rudimentary martial arts, thereby helping their family's martial arts hall and the on the verge of bankruptcy Shen's Security regain their former glory!
In this way, he would not only thoroughly solidify his position within the Shen Family but also, without shedding a drop of blood, transform the entire Shen Family into his first base and power in this world!
And then, what about the profound yin cold jade, the root cause of it all?
It just so happened that he, a dignified Immortal Emperor, had little interest in the filthy, money-grubbing wealth of the mortal world.
Why not take this jade as his consultation fee for treating Miss Shen? That wouldn't be too much, would it?
Moreover, after curing the illness, guiding their martial arts, and saving their family.
He believed that the entire Shen Family would already be hanging on his every word, treating him as a distinguished guest!
As for Miss Shen, Shen Ning霜?
She had probably already secretly given her heart to him, her savior, who could cure her incurable illness and rescue her family from dire straits, right?
At that time, wouldn't she be at his mercy, to take whatever he desired?
Tsk tsk tsk... People, wealth, and treasure, all three acquired!
It was simply perfect!
"Hmph, mortals! Prepare to kneel before me!"
...However, he did not know.
While he was still congratulating himself on his flawless and perfect plan.
On the other side, in the study of the Lu Family Manor.
Lu Cheng was leaning lazily in his chair, watching this classic 'hero saves the beauty, wins hearts' standard Long Aotian-style routine concerning Ling Tian.
"It's this old routine again of curing illness, saving the beauty, and winning hearts."
"It's truly unoriginal and unremarkable..."
"An Immortal Emperor, you say?"
"His ideological awareness and methods of wooing women aren't much better than those low-class protagonists who only think with their lower bodies."
Lu Cheng stretched, a playful glint, like a cat toying with a mouse, flashing in his deep eyes.
He decided not to 'intercept' this time, as he had in the past.
That was too boring and lacked technical skill.
This time!
He would use technology!
He would directly transfer the fortuitous encounters to himself!
He also wanted to experience the feeling of a Child of Fortune, where pies would fall on his head even when walking.
At the same time, he would firmly control the rhythm of the entire script in his hands!
He would personally arrange a grand surprise for this esteemed Immortal Emperor, one that would make him unforgettable for eternity!
With a thought, Lu Cheng opened the newly unlocked system function, the [Script Editor]!
He looked at the plotline for Ling Tian on the screen and, without hesitation, selected the 'Edit' option.
Then, he applied a brand new negative BUFF to the description of the female lead, Shen Ning霜's, condition!
It only cost a mere two thousand villain points to add a negative BUFF, completely changing the original plot:
[Shen Ning霜's profound yin cold qi, due to long-term ineffective suppression, is at risk of a full-scale outbreak within three days!]
[Forcibly guiding the cold qi will particularly disrupt Shen Ning霜's internal energy, accelerating the cold qi's outbreak speed!]
[At that time, if the cold qi attacks the heart, freezing the heart meridians, all medicine will be ineffective, and her life will be in peril!]
Very good, this would make the stage for the Immortal Emperor's performance even more spectacular!
After doing all this, Lu Cheng's face showed a devilish smile.
"You want to treat the female lead? Did you ask for my permission?"
"Immortal Emperor? Can an Immortal Emperor cure the incurable disease I created?"
"What if you fail to cure her and instead cause the female lead's cold qi to erupt?"
"Then it will be my turn to reluctantly make an appearance, won't it?"
"It's also time for me to experience that feeling of having to save the world, rescuing a maiden in distress from dire straits."
He closed the system interface and then picked up his phone from the desk to assign new tasks to his subordinates.
"Immediately start dealing with the matter of the Shen Family's security company."
"Something about a failed mission and the client demanding compensation."
"I don't care how you do it, whether you pay directly or use your connections to coerce them."
"Settle it before tomorrow!"
Alright, a two-pronged approach, arranged and completed.
Now, he just needed to wait for Ling Tian to come knocking on his door.
He wondered what kind of expression the Immortal Emperor would have when he was treated as a quack doctor?
