Xu's mother forced a stiff smile. "Jin Huan, we believe you will handle this impartially and will not abuse your power."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu's smile gradually disappeared. He glared at Mrs. Xu with displeasure and muttered under his breath, "If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!"

After saying that, she smiled ingratiatingly at Xu Jinhuan, "Jinhuan, that's not what your mother meant. She meant that you are impartial and incorruptible, and that you won't do favoritism just because Youyou is your sister."

Standing to the side, Xu's mother pouted pitifully, tears welling up in her eyes.

Xu Jinhuan glanced at the two of them with a smile, "After we deal with her matter, let's settle the score properly."

After saying that, without paying attention to the sudden change in Xu's parents' expressions, Xu Jinhuan walked straight to Xu Youyou who was standing to the side.

"Xu Youyou, you still like to play tricks behind people's backs as always. I wonder if you're going to use your silver tongue or your tearful face to deceive people this time?"

As Xu Jinhuan spoke, he gently traced the dagger in his hand across Xu Youyou's face.

Xu Youyou stared at the dagger so close to her face, cold sweat pouring down her forehead as she tried her best to argue her case.

"Xu Jinhuan, that was just Dai Bailian's side of the story. I really didn't say that much to her. You have to believe me!"

Xu Jinhuan scoffed and retorted, "Xu Youyou, if you were me, would you believe these words?"

Xu Youyou's eyes darted around, and as if she had suddenly thought of something, a threatening look appeared on her face as she whispered.

"Xu Jinhuan, aren't you afraid I'll expose your possession of another body? Apart from sharing the same name, you and the original Xu Jinhuan do completely different things."

Xu Youyou originally wanted to say time travel, but she was worried that Xu Jinhuan was not time travel but reborn, so she changed it to possession, which would be more reliable when threatening her.

To everyone's surprise, Xu Jinhuan gave a cold laugh, "Xu Youyou, have you forgotten where you are? I'm in charge here. Without your Fifth Prince, no one will be bewitched by you."

Tell me, how should I punish you for disobeying me?

As Xu Jinhuan spoke, he slashed Xu Youyou's face with a dagger, and bright red blood instantly flowed from the wound.

"ah!"

The sudden pain sent a chill down Xu Youyou's spine. She covered her face, looking at Xu Jinhuan in horror. Her brain told her to run away, but her body didn't know how to move.

[Host, a senior told me that if you want to harm the male and female leads before you have obtained most of the protagonist's halo, you won't be punished by the Heavenly Dao.]

We could try inflicting injuries that don't involve death, but would be extremely psychologically damaging to them.

"System Xiao Wang suddenly spoke up."

Xu Jinhuan nodded silently. This was similar to her previous guess. She replied in her heart, "I understand. I already have an idea."

Xu Jinhuan was multitasking, replying to the system while continuing to slash Xu Youyou's face with the knife.

"This stab is repaid for your slander against me, this stab is repaid for your sowing discord within the Xu family, this stab is repaid for..."

As soon as Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, he slashed Xu Youyou's face hard. The dagger had been fitted with some barbs, and every time the dagger slashed across Xu Youyou's face, these barbs would penetrate into the skin and damage the internal structure of her face.

In this way, even if Xu Youyou encounters the divine doctor in the story later and wants to treat the injury on her face, it won't be so easy.

Soon, Xu Youyou's face was covered with streaks of blood. The blood flowed from the wounds and slowly gathered on her face, looking quite terrifying.

Xu Youyou's once pretty face has been completely disfigured.

Xu Jinhuan stopped when she saw that there was no more room to scratch Xu Youyou's face. She looked coldly at the disheveled Xu Youyou. She's supposed to be the female lead, how can she not even bear this little bit of pain?

In his previous life, Xu Jinhuan was thrown into a pit of ten thousand snakes by the Fifth Prince and was bitten for several days and nights!

"My face, my face!"

Xu Youyou was finally free and quickly touched her face, but when she touched the blood on her hand, she broke down and cried.

"Waaaaah, Xu Jinhuan, you've ruined my future! My princess consort, my Tingjun, what am I going to do?!"

Xu Jinhuan tugged at Xu Youyou's sleeve, disgustedly wiped the blood off the dagger, and said coldly.

"Xu Youyou, your future was never ruined by Xu Jinhuan; it was your own greed that led to everything that is now."

Today's lesson is just a small one; next time, this knife will be plunged into your body.

Xu Youyou glanced at the dagger in Xu Jinhuan's hand and instinctively shivered. She was now completely isolated and helpless, truly without any help...

Xu Jinhuan glanced at Xu Youyou's battered face, then listened carefully to the sound of rain outside. After confirming that Tiandao hadn't intervened, he smiled and put away his dagger.

[Host, you truly are a master of subtlety; when you act, you astound everyone. Your execution is flawless, even the Heavenly Dao can't find a way to cause you trouble!]

System Xiao Wang's flattery arrived as promised.

Xu Jinhuan smiled and replied in his heart, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

He slowly and leisurely sized up Xu's parents, making them huddle together in fear, terrified that Xu Jinhuan would kill them.

Xu Jinhuan curled his lips. Killing them like this would be too boring. Death is sometimes the simplest thing. Such good toys can be kept for a while, played with until they are done, and then thrown away.

“You…” Xu Jinhuan paused, looking at the Xu family.

When Xu's parents met Xu Jinhuan's gaze, they immediately trembled, and then cautiously asked, "What's wrong with us?"

Xu Jinhuan said with a bright smile, "Let's settle our score today as well. Your Xu family has no debt of gratitude to me, only the debt of gratitude to me for giving birth to me."

"And after being mistreated and forced into exile by you, I have repaid the debt of my life. Therefore, from this day forward, I, Xu Jinhuan, sever all ties with Xu Wenzhong and his wife!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu felt his head spin for a moment and immediately knelt down on the ground in a disheveled state. Mr. Xu's mother was pulled along by him and stumbled, also kneeling down on the ground.

"Jin Huan, we..."

Xu's father wanted to persuade him again, but Xu Jinhuan scared him off with a dagger.

Xu Jinhuan pulled out the dagger from his sleeve again, and said with a smile, "If you don't agree, I don't mind stabbing you, and making your father die right there~"

Mr. Xu, clutching his still-painful head, hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I agree!"

Just as Xu Jinhuan was about to ask someone to bring paper and pen, her mother, who had been silent, suddenly shouted in dissatisfaction.

"No, I don't agree. You came from my belly. Unless you crawl back out of my belly, you'll never be able to break off this bond!"
