Chapter 739 Procrastination - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

Wang Haoran, after deciding to tamper with the teleportation array, quickly devised a concrete plan. However, merely stopping Su Xuan from entering the Spirit Tower was secondary. More importantly, Wang Haoran aimed to utterly remove Su Xuan as a significant obstacle. Jiang Qingkui's formidable background was a major consideration. If she continued to favor Su Xuan and support him, Wang Haoran would face substantial trouble. He hadn't forgotten the incident in the Feiyun Pavilion when he injured Su Xuan. Should Jiang Qingkui find out, Wang Haoran could well imagine the consequences. He didn't believe he was currently capable of taking on the Jiang family alone. Therefore, separating Jiang Qingkui, a powerful ally, from Su Xuan was essential. Wang Haoran had a method in mind: to win Jiang Qingkui over from Su Xuan. This was a tactic he had employed numerous times, one he excelled at and had the means to execute. Jiang Qingkui was already fond of Su Xuan, making the super charm aura ineffective. However, the active skill of the allure aura might make her shift her affections. The odds were only thirty percent, not particularly favorable. The chances of failure were significantly higher. Still, that wasn't much of a problem—it merely required spending more villain points. Wang Haoran consulted the system, spending 100,000 villain points in the shop to exchange for a Luck Amplification Card. With the card's use, Wang Haoran could transform into an "Auspicious Deity." Anything connected to luck would yield the best possible outcome for him. The card's effect lasted just one minute, but that would suffice—he'd use it when the moment was right. With his thoughts in order, Wang Haoran discreetly meddled with the teleportation array in Qingzhou Prefecture that connected to the Supreme Mansion. Despite formidable guards maintaining the array's operation, their strength was vastly inferior to Wang Haoran's, leaving them oblivious to his actions. Time slipped by, leading to two days later. At the Supreme Mansion, by the teleportation array connected to Qingzhou Prefecture, ten practitioners ranging from twenty to twenty-nine levels of the Saint Realm gathered. Each emanated an aura that was deeply intimidating. At the forefront of these ten formidable figures stood a young lady in purple. The Supreme Mansion, expansive as it was, housed many other powers, most being vassals to the nine great clans. The city managing the teleportation array to Qingzhou Prefecture was controlled by a faction under the Jiang clan. As this group approached, those nearby couldn't help but turn their sights, whispering among themselves. "Ten practitioners at over twenty levels of the Saint Realm—that's quite the display. Which of the nine clans are these from?" "See the young lady leading them? That's Jiang Qingkui, the Jiang clan's young master." "Oh, so she's from the Jiang clan." Realization dawned upon someone. "I've heard Jiang Qingkui is renowned for her beauty across the land. Seeing her today, it seems the rumors are true." "Shortsighted, aren't you? Jiang Qingkui's most impressive quality isn't her appearance. Don't you know? She has awakened the Supreme Bloodline—the potential for her future is limitless." "The Supreme Bloodline is the stuff of legends." "I wonder who will be fortunate enough to win Jiang Qingkui's favor in the future—a gem like her surely won't settle for anyone ordinary." "It would have to be a prodigy of the grand domain, not a mere mortal." "But why have they come here?" "Who can say? However, if they're aiming to use the teleportation array to Qingzhou Prefecture, it won't happen anytime soon." Many gazed at Jiang Qingkui, but she was accustomed to such attention and paid it no mind. Her sole focus was on reaching Qingzhou Prefecture swiftly to rescue her brother Su Xuan, with no patience for other matters. After a while waiting near the teleportation array, a subordinate came to report: "Young Master, the teleportation array in Qingzhou Prefecture seems to have encountered some issues. They're currently undergoing repairs, so it may take a while." "How long?" Jiang Qingkui frowned, asking. "This... it depends on how quickly they can fix it over there in Qingzhou Prefecture," the subordinate replied nervously. Hearing this, Jiang Qingkui's expression turned noticeably colder. The teleportation array connected to the void space's nodes, meaning any malfunction during teleportation risked getting swept into the void, where turbulent flows existed. Not even a practitioner at thirty-plus levels of the Saint Realm was safe from such danger. With the array malfunctioning, all they could do was wait. It typically took less than two days to travel from the Jiang clan to this location. However, when Jiang Qingkui was gathering experts, some of the clan's old-fashioned elders interfered, delaying her path despite significant pleading. Had it not been for these interruptions, she likely would have reached Qingzhou Prefecture by now. "Reach out to those in Qingzhou Prefecture, tell them to expedite repairing the array. If they delay my rescue for Su Xuan, it'll cost them their lives," Jiang Qingkui commanded, her voice cold. Her demeanor surprised the accompanying experts; Jiang Qingkui was usually composed, seldom showing emotion. Yet in Su Xuan's matters, she seemed uncharacteristically unsettled, highlighting just how much she cared about him. The experts exchanged glances, silently acknowledging, with a hint of envy, how fortunate Su Xuan was to have won Jiang Qingkui's favor. "Yes, Young Master," the subordinate stammered, hastily complying. In a bustling ancient city within Qingzhou Prefecture, several powerful individuals were working to repair the array. Watching like a spectator, Wang Haoran—the instigator of the issue—occasionally disrupted any progress as soon as signs of repair appeared, ensuring the delay kept Jiang Qingkui occupied. Only once he estimated they wouldn't reach the Spirit Tower opening in time did Wang Haoran stop his meddling. Without his interference, repairs proceeded swiftly. Shortly, Jiang Qingkui and her delegation from the Jiang clan emerged in the ancient city. Wang Haoran's gaze zeroed in on Jiang Qingkui, suddenly enraptured. Her appearance was on the same level as Fang Youruo, Feng Xuansu, and Shantai Yaoyue—flawless beyond compare. Unlike the other three, Jiang Qingkui held a slight air of youthfulness, making her all the more alluring. Eagerly, Wang Haoran used the Luck Amplification Card. Blending in casually, he sauntered into Jiang Qingkui's path, stalling them with deliberate slowness. "You there, move aside! Delay our young master and you'll pay with your life!" one of Jiang Qingkui's subordinates barked at Wang Haoran's back. (Chapter ends)
