Chapter 1: I Am the Protagonist's Sworn Brother?!
(In the center of Sky City, inside a luxurious manor of the Ling family - The head of the four Great families of Jiuzhou country)
Inside a luxuriously decorated and elegant room, in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window at this moment, a tall and upright man was standing with his hands behind his back.
He was handsome and elegant, with a dusty temperament, like a gentleman of the turbid world.
"I actually transmigrated into a web novel world?" Ling Tian frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
Soon, he finished going through the memories of the original body in his mind.
"System!"
Ling Tian then called out in his mind for the transmigrator's cheat, the system.
The system's voice soon rang out in his mind.
[Ding! The Great Villain System has successfully bound to the Host!]
[The plot concerning the Host is in progress.]
Then, a huge wave of memories flooded Ling Tian's mind.
Every scene that happened in the original plot flashed through his mind quickly.
After a while, the hollowness in Ling Tian's gaze gradually disappeared and instantly became sharp.
The original body was the Protagonist Ye Feng's "Sworn Brother".
As Ye Feng's stepping stone in the original plot, his role was no different than a guardian.
Any protagonist's sworn brother wouldn't have a good end.
Ling Tian was no exception, either.
Being implicated by Ye Feng later in the plot, his entire family was tragically exterminated, with only Ling family's adopted daughter, Ling Ruoxue, remaining.
Ling Rouxue survived because Ye Feng saved her at the last minute as he was greedy for her body and the Ling family's assets.
Moreover, Ye Feng has long had his eyes on Ling Tian's fiancée.
When Ling Tian was tragically poisoned, Ye Feng, who could have saved him, stood by and watched him die.
Soon after, he stood before Ling Tian's grave and swore that he would take good care of his sister-in-law.
Inhuman!
Because the plot just now was still vivid in Ling Tian's mind, he sympathized.
Ye Feng, the Protagonist, not only caused the original body's family to exterminate, he even encroached on the Ling family's assets!
He also wanted to c*ckold him, dreaming of bedding his sister-in-law!
In short, Ye Feng screwed him.
Ling Tian, at this time, was still calm, but his eyes turned cold.
"System, tell me about your function!"
[Respected Host, as long as the Host can change the direction of the original plot, plunder the original Protagonist's Luck, and various opportunities, the system will reward the host villain points, which can be exchanged in the system shop for multiple items!]
After listening to the explanation given by the system in his mind, Ling Tian nodded his head.
Since he crossed over, he could not sit and wait for death. He couldn't be the Protagonist's stepping stone and finally end up with a broken family, could he?
So, Ye Feng, go to hell!
Ling Tian's eyes revealed a murderous aura.
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Enter."
With a respectful smile, Uncle Fu, the butler, pushed the door open and walked in.
"Young master, Ye Feng has come to visit you along with his mother."
Hearing these words, the corner of Ling Tian's mouth arched up, his face filled with a cold smile.
Today was the day Ye Feng came to his door seeking help, wanting Ling Tian to take care of his mother.
Ling Tian would certainly not follow the plot and help Ye Feng as the original body did!
But, if it was his mother, Ling Tian had no choice but to 'take care' of her.
"Uncle Fu, Let them wait for me in the living room first, I'll be there shortly."
Ling Tian's eyes narrowed, but he didn't lift his head.
…
(Not long after, in an ancient and fragrant living room)
At this moment, three people were sitting upright; Ling Tian was the first, while Ye Feng sat second.
And next to Ye Feng was a woman seemingly aged twenty-six but was dignified and elegant. Her temperament was as gentle as water. She was like an orchid in the empty valley.
This woman was Ye Feng's mother.
After Ye Feng and Ling Tian exchanged greetings, he finally came to the purpose of their trip.
"Brother Tian, Yesterday I made Song Hui, the Song family's Young Master my enemy. I'm not at all afraid of him playing any tricks on me. But I'm worried that this scumbag will make a move against my mother. So I want you to take care of my mother, ensuring her safety."
With an earnest expression, Ye Feng said to Ling Tian, sitting in the upper seat.
Ye Feng looked at the man in front of him, who was leisurely sipping tea.
Ling Tian could be said to be the most outstanding man he had ever seen.
He was born with a golden spoon and was destined to have endless wealth and influence in the future.
Ye Feng was very jealous of Ling Tian because he, in contrast, had nothing and could only rely on himself.
Ling Tian slowly put down the teacup in his hand and smiled faintly.
However, his eyes revealed a deep meaning that ordinary people couldn't notice.
"Don't worry, Brother Feng. Leave Aunt Wanrou in my care. As long as she is in my Ling family, no one will be able to harm her."
Ling Tian's face was full of smiles, giving people a spring-like feeling.
He promised earnestly to Ye Feng, who looked somewhat anxious in front of him.
Then Ling Tian looked at Ye Feng's mother next to him and smiled at her.
Ling Tian was a bit surprised.
The woman in front of him had a well-groomed appearance. He couldn't see any traces of wrinkles on her face.
He felt it hard to believe she was a 36-year-old woman.
Ling Tian didn't take more than a glance and collected his gaze with great speed. He wouldn't act like a hooligan at this moment.
However, on the side that neither mother nor son could notice, the corner of Ling Tian's mouth arched up.
'Brother Feng, you good brother, I have decided to raise your mother after your death!'
Hearing Ling Tian promising him, Ye Feng was at ease.
"Brother Tian, I will definitely repay this kindness in the future!"
His face was replaced with a happy expression. Things were finally going as he expected.
As long as the Song family couldn't do anything to his mother, what did he, Ye Feng, have to fear?
He had undergone a rebirth. As long as he was given time to grow, the four big families would be his stepping stones!
As long as he grows, when the time comes, he would be able to easily crush a small family like the Song family!
Now with the problem solved, Ye Feng instantly became energetic.
"You and I are brothers, there is no need to be so polite."
Ling Tian put on a friendly smile as if the two were blood-related brothers, but the depths of his eyes were without ripples as if looking at a dead man.
‘Retribution?’ Ling Tian sneered with disdain.
‘You two-faced brat! Was this why you wanted to help 'take care' of your sister-in-law and seize the entire Ling family's assets?’
Ye Feng was slightly touched hearing what Ling Tian said at this moment.
He even felt somewhat guilty for being jealous of Ling Tian just now.
However, Ye Wanrou, his mother, felt odd.
She used to be a martial artist. Although her cultivation was destroyed, her perception ability was still different from ordinary people's.
She could keenly perceive Ling Tian's smile, which seemed to carry some hidden meaning.
Ling Tian seemed to be hiding something from them.
