Chapter 22: Chapter 22: A Dog Can’t Be Cured of Eating Shit

The moment Xu Ruming spoke, everyone looked astonished.

Thanks to Lu Jingyu, Xu Qingsui had already become a legendary figure in the Heiyu Alliance.

This newcomer actually knew the legendary figure, and from the sounds of it, they were sisters.

Lu Jingyu looked directly at Xu Qingsui.

But while everyone else was still surprised about the connection between Xu Ruming and Xu Qingsui, Xu Ruming’s attention had already landed on Lu Jingyu, who was standing beside Xu Qingsui.

’Who is this man? Why is he with Xu Qingsui?’

As her gaze swept over Lu Jingyu’s cold, handsome face, his sharp jawline, and his broad chest, a spark ignited in Xu Ruming’s eyes.

’Why!’

’Xu Qingsui is just the fake heiress who was switched at birth! What right does she have to a man this handsome?’

The first time she returned to the Xu Family and met Xu Qingsui, she had noticed Shen Ling’an standing beside her.

Especially after learning that Shen Ling’an was Xu Qingsui’s childhood sweetheart and fiancé, as well as the eldest son and future successor of the Shen family.

Her eyes had gone red with envy, and she became determined to steal everything that belonged to Xu Qingsui.

Later, her family arranged a marriage for her with the heir of the Lu Family from the Capital City in Zone 56.

His lofty status temporarily soothed her heart.

But who would have thought that not long after, news spread that the Lu Family heir was on the verge of rampaging.

And despite the Lu Family’s resources, none of the A level or even higher-level guides they hired could soothe him. They all ended up being torn to shreds.

She immediately backed out and became even more determined to snatch everything that was Xu Qingsui’s.

Shen Ling’an didn’t disappoint her. With just a little seduction, he was soon scheming right alongside her. But...

Why did another man, even more handsome than Shen Ling’an, suddenly appear at Xu Qingsui’s side?

And she could feel that this man’s level was even higher than Shen Ling’an’s.

Xu Ruming silently clenched her fists, that same thought resurfacing in her mind.

’She had to take everything from Xu Qingsui. Everything that belongs to Xu Qingsui should be hers!’

Seeing her "sister" so soon, Xu Qingsui let out a cold laugh.

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she saw Xu Ruming’s gaze land on Lu Jingyu.

’A leopard really can’t change its spots.’

She was no longer the original owner of this body. Xu Ruming’s petty schemes couldn’t fool her.

But she wasn’t going to expose her. She wanted to see how Xu Ruming would juggle two men and eventually shoot herself in the foot.

As for Lu Jingyu...

’Since the system matched them, he naturally wouldn’t be so easy to win over.’

She didn’t need to do a thing. Lu Jingyu would give Xu Ruming more than she could handle.

"Xu Ruming, you’re like a ghost I can’t shake!"

The moment Xu Qingsui spoke, everyone could tell that she and Xu Ruming were not on good terms.

After all, Xu Qingsui had appeared first and had helped Lu Jingyu multiple times. For that reason alone, the crowd already had a poor impression of Xu Ruming.

"Xu Qingsui, I’ve warned you. If you dare disrespect Meng Meng again, I won’t show any mercy. Don’t think I won’t act just because you’re in the Heiyu Alliance now."

Shen Ling’an always jumped out at the first opportunity to protect his "fiancée."

He too had been stunned to see Xu Qingsui, especially when he saw Lu Jingyu.

Although he didn’t know what relationship that man had with Xu Qingsui, a deeply unpleasant feeling surged within him.

He didn’t dare show it, so he could only vent all his dissatisfaction on Xu Qingsui.

Xu Qingsui narrowed her eyes. ’This pair is really singing the same tune. They’ve latched onto me just to be disgusting.’

"Shen Ling’an, you two..."

"Sister!" Xu Ruming suddenly cut Xu Qingsui off, afraid she would expose her relationship with Shen Ling’an.

Although she already had a new plan in mind, she needed to keep Shen Ling’an on the hook until it succeeded.

To keep the peace, there were some things she couldn’t reveal yet.

"I still call you sister because I truly hope you can find a good place for yourself, to have shelter even after leaving the family."

"But you’ve obviously gone down the wrong path again. The Heiyu Alliance is no place for you. After all, someone like you..."

Xu Ruming trailed off, leaving the others to imagine the worst.

"You shouldn’t be here. You should go to a safe zone, find an honest man to marry, and live out your life in peace. That’s the future you deserve."

Xu Qingsui watched Xu Ruming with a cold smile. ’I’ve seen this act so many times. She can’t even come up with anything new.’

"Xu Ruming, my future is none of your business. You’d be better off doing some good deeds, lest you get a taste of instant karma!"

Lu Jingyu coldly watched their back-and-forth. Although he didn’t know the details of their problem, based on their tones, he was already leaning toward Xu Qingsui.

’That Xu Ruming is too pretentious.’

"Sister, you’re going too far! I’m only doing this for your own good."

"Meng Meng, don’t waste your breath on her. Someone like her isn’t qualified to be here."

Seeing Xu Ruming getting flustered, Shen Ling’an stepped forward again.

He shot Xu Qingsui a glare, then turned to a man in the crowd.

"Director Liu, we know that Xu Qingsui. She’s just a low-level D level Guide. You must be discerning and not let someone like her mix in with the ranks and tarnish the Heiyu Alliance’s image."

A hush fell over the area as soon as Shen Ling’an finished speaking.

’What’s going on?’

’Isn’t Xu Qingsui an A level Guide? How did she suddenly become a D level Guide?’

The conflicting information left everyone momentarily stunned, but since the first piece of information came from within the Heiyu Alliance, they chose to believe that one.

As for the D level insignia on Xu Qingsui’s chest, everyone had tacitly assumed she was wearing it to be low-key.

The man Shen Ling’an had called out to turned grim. He was just a director in charge of vetting new members.

’I’ve vetted so many members for the Heiyu Alliance, but I can’t believe I messed up this time.’

’I’ve let in two troublemakers who started causing problems the moment they arrived.’

Seeing that no one was reacting, Shen Ling’an vaguely sensed that something was off, but he had no time to dwell on it.

Ignoring everyone else, he once again directed his attack at Xu Qingsui.

"Xu Qingsui, if you know what’s good for you, I suggest you leave on your own. Don’t wait to be thrown out and lose face."

The crowd’s expressions were strange. ’Who would dare throw her out?’

’She was brought back by Lu Jingyu himself.’

"It’s getting a bit noisy," Lu Jingyu finally said, unable to listen anymore.

Seeing this, Shen Ling’an was about to say something else, but Liu Jun, the man in charge of vetting new members, hurriedly stepped forward.

"Say no more! This is our captain, the SSS level Sentinel Lu Jingyu, Captain Lu! Miss Xu was brought back by Captain Lu himself."

Upon hearing that the man was an SSS level Sentinel, both Xu Ruming and Shen Ling’an’s eyes widened in disbelief.

When they learned that he was the one who had brought Xu Qingsui to the Heiyu Alliance, the two of them were completely dumbfounded.

Shen Ling’an stared at Xu Qingsui in astonishment, unable to comprehend how the woman he had abandoned had managed to latch onto an SSS level Sentinel.
