Chapter 7: The Cruel Awakening

  "I will obey your orders!"

  Xu Rong bowed his fist and took the lead, stepping forward three steps to block Qin Lan's path. He disdainfully crooked his finger at the group of servants rushing over... "Yah!" The group of servants couldn't take this provocation and charged forward together.

  Xu Rong sneered and reached out to grab the one who was charging at the front, a knee strike immediately made him lose his combat effectiveness. Then Xu Rong directly swung him back, and the chaotic family servants who rushed up together suddenly fell down together.

  With just this one move, no one dared to make another move. These servants were not fools either, and it was clear that this person was very powerful, not someone they could compare to. Even if they rushed forward together, they would probably be beaten until they were defeated, let alone the fact that his weapon hadn't even been used yet.

  Tubi stood at the end, because he was injured and didn't rush up. As a result, among this group of more than ten family servants, only he was still standing. Xu Rong received an order to knock everyone down. Seeing Tubi still standing, he slowly walked towards him with his foot raised, but unexpectedly, Tubi turned around and tried to run away.

  Uh…… Xu Rong shook his head, turned his hand over and grabbed the longbow behind him. Without even aiming, he drew the bowstring and shot an arrow, hitting Tu Bi's thigh right on target. Tu Bi let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, writhing in agony.

  This time, no one dared to move again. This person not only had terrifying strength but also a cold and ruthless heart, striking as soon as he spoke, without leaving any room for mercy... They saw very clearly that Toubi's thigh was directly pierced by the arrow, and it would be difficult to recover even with several months of recuperation.

  Qin Lan clapped his hands, Xu Rong did a good job. This group of evil servants had been bullying him for a long time, taking pleasure in mistreating their master. Although it wasn't him before, now that he had taken over this body, he naturally couldn't allow them to have such thoughts. "Xu Rong, break one arm of every single person here!!"

  "I beg to report to Your Excellency, this group of ignorant and unruly commoners dared to offend you, they should be put to death by slow slicing as a warning to others." Xu Rong was dissatisfied with Qin Lan's decision on punishment, thinking it was too light.

  "...do as I say." Qin Lan thought for a moment, having just crossed over and killing someone wasn't a good sign, better to keep a low profile.

  "Yes, I will obey!"

  "Master, master!! We were wrong, please forgive us and spare our lives." The group of servants lying on the ground heard this and thought it was unreasonable. How could they work if everyone's hand was broken? They quickly got up to beg for mercy, but Qin Lan just waved her hand and let Xu Rong carry out the punishment.

  "Haha." Xu Rong directly kicked them down one by one, then stepped on each of them with his big foot. Suddenly, there was a burst of mournful cries. Qin Lan saw that Xu Rong's personality was somewhat brutal, indeed befitting a general under the demonic king Dong Zhuo - what kind of leader you have is what kind of soldiers you get.

  Those mournful cries would probably soon attract other people from the mansion, so Qin Lan directly took Xu Rong away. His residence was in a small corner on the east side of the mansion, originally a miscellaneous courtyard where workers lived. Later, because of Qin Lan's mother's identity, it was specially vacated for the mother and son to live in. After all, it was still a broken house. When Qin Lan returned, his mother was not there. She still had to work during the day and often did more work under the pressure of two women.

  Qin Lan's room was spotless, not at all like a 16-year-old's room. Except for a bed and a desk, there was only a simple wardrobe with a few clothes inside. He let out a sigh, the wounds on his body still aching slightly, but much better than before. This was because after leveling up, his physical attributes had been modified by the game.

  The matter of crossing over still makes Qin Lan feel a bit unacceptable, so he very decisively lets Xu Rong guard the door and doesn't allow anyone to come in and disturb him. He himself lies down on the bed, closes his eyes, and starts sleeping. Hopes that when he wakes up, he will have returned to his original life...

  But reality was cruel, and Qin Lan, who had just closed her eyes, was soon awakened by someone.

  A group of people's angry shouts and Xu Rong's obstructive voice came from the door, this old house couldn't block these voices at all. Qin Lan sat up, thought for a moment, then made a decisive decision to open the door. At the door, as expected, Qin Lan's three sisters were all present, especially her eldest sister Qin Qing was scolding angrily, and two family servants were lying under her feet, obviously trying to force their way into the house but being knocked down by Xu Rong.

  "What's going on? What's going on?" Qin Lan lazily stretched and yawned, "Can't you see I'm sleeping? Don't you guys know manners?"

  "Qin Lan!! You damned little rascal, things have gone too far now! Where did you find this savage and let him injure over a dozen of our servants? What are we going to eat for dinner tonight?"

  "What do you want to eat, you have to come ask me? You have hands and feet, can't you do it yourself? Alright, even if you can't do it, there are restaurants everywhere on the street, can't you find something to eat? Do I need to feed you?" Qin Lan was no longer his former self, his temper had become bad, he was used to ordering people around and couldn't allow others to yell at him, so he counterattacked strongly.

  "Y...y..." Qin Qing was so angry that she couldn't speak, and in her daze, she had forgotten that the current Qin Lan was different from before. "You dare to defy me!! I see your skin is itching again, right? The beating you got from Lao Er this afternoon wasn't enough?"

  "Big sister." Qin Jin and Qin Yun, who had been silent beside her, noticed that Qin Lan was different. When Qin Qing mentioned it, they furrowed their brows, "This idiot is really different today..."

  "Not the same? Not the same good, just right for me today with a bad mood, watch me beat him back." Qin Qing rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward.

  Qin Lan glanced at her lightly and said, "Xu Rong, throw her out of the yard."

  Xu Rongyi clasped his fist and said, "The subordinate obeys the order!"

  "You think you can beat me? Come on and try!" Qin Qing, relying on her status as the eldest daughter of the family, was used to throwing her weight around. She puffed out her chest like a proud hen, but in the next moment she let out an incredulous shriek because Xu Rong had already taken big strides over, grabbed her arm, and dragged her straight outside.

  "Ah!!!! Let me go, let me go!!!!" Qin Qing punched and kicked Xu Rong, but she was just a magician, so Xu Rong treated her like an itch, walked to the door, and with a flick of his hand, Qin Qing was thrown out like a rag. "Ah!!!!!!!!!! Qin Lan, you bastard, I swear I'll never make peace with you!!!!!"

  Although Qin Qing was frantically shouting outside the yard, she ultimately didn't dare enter the yard again.

  It was Qin Jin, the quiet second sister beside her, who suddenly burst out laughing.

  "Your subordinate is quite good, can I borrow him for two days?"
