Liu Rushuang trembled with rage, grabbing a teacup from the ground and hurling it at Lin Xiaofan. He sidestepped just in time, but the sharp porcelain shard still sliced a line across his palm.
Blood dripped down, landing precisely on the jade pendant at his waist. Strangely, as the droplet touched the pendant, a series of numbers appeared: [78/100].
[System energy value materialized for the first time, current anger level 78%]
Before Lin Xiaofan could ponder this further, Liu Rushuang shrieked, "Teach him a lesson!"
Immediately, the servants at the door rushed in. Lin Xiaofan's mind was flooded with system notifications:
[Detected multiple attackers, temporarily activating [Yin Yang Quirky Quotes] module!]
"Oh, so many people?" Lin Xiaofan glanced around, a mocking smile curling his lips. "Is Miss Liu afraid of embarrassing herself alone and called so many to witness?"
As he spoke, he nimbly dodged the first servant's punch. "Big brother, your punches are so soft; have you been eating too well at Liu Residence?"
The second servant lunged at him, and Lin Xiaofan sidestepped again. "Oh dear, can't even find your direction? Does Miss Liu usually feed you mind-altering drugs?"
Some in the crowd couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Liu Rushuang's face turned pale with fury as she suddenly ripped off her jade bracelet and smashed it to the ground. "Lin Xiaofan! Just wait!"
As the bracelet shattered, a fine powder dispersed into the air. Lin Xiaofan keenly noticed this detail, but before he could think further, a violent coughing fit erupted from the second floor.
All eyes were drawn to the commotion—behind the gauzy curtain of a private box on the second floor stood a slender figure leaning against the railing, coughing violently while a maid frantically patted her back.
"It's Princess Ning An!" someone exclaimed.
Lin Xiaofan squinted and saw the rumored frail princess covering her mouth and nose, yet her sharp gaze pierced through the curtain directly at him.
In the chaos, Lin Xiaofan seized the opportunity to slip out of Zui Xian Lou. As he walked back to his residence, his heart raced uncontrollably.
"System, what was that powder just now?"
[Detected residue: Chronic neurotoxin "Zhu Yan Zui," contact will lead to progressive hearing loss.]
Lin Xiaofan halted in his tracks. "Liu Rushuang wants to poison me?"
[Analysis: The jade bracelet is a delivery method for poison; target likely for long-term exposure.]
He suddenly recalled that in the original owner's memories, Liu Rushuang often gifted him small trinkets...
"Ding!"
[Due to host successfully maintaining dignity in front of others, reward compensation package: [Famous Minister Summoning Card] x1.]
Lin Xiaofan raised an eyebrow. "What is this?"
[Can summon historical figures for assistance; first summon is free, subsequent ones require anger points.]
Returning to his dilapidated courtyard, Lin Xiaofan eagerly took out the card. The card was entirely golden, adorned with intricate runes.
"Use the summoning card."
The card transformed into specks of golden light in his hand, gradually coalescing into a human form. As the light faded, a middle-aged scholar appeared in the room, holding a feather fan and wearing a silk cap.
The scholar stroked his beard and looked Lin Xiaofan up and down. His first words were, "My Lord, your table-flipping posture lacks dominance."
Lin Xiaofan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Zhuge Liang?!"
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, gently waving his fan. "Indeed, it is I. However..." He turned to look out the window, his gaze suddenly sharp. "My Lord, your maid is eavesdropping outside the courtyard. That cup of 'Calming Tea' in her hand will surely lead to her baldness if she drinks it."
