The middle-aged woman was also surprised to see a man suddenly appear, especially one who claimed to be the one asking about incense.

Qin Ze looked tall and handsome, especially his eyes, which were cold and deep.

The middle-aged woman's imposing manner immediately vanished.

But thinking of the money in Wenxiang's hands, he couldn't help but cheer himself up again.

He said, "What do you mean, 'your woman'? Wenxiang is my niece!"

Qin Ze looked at Wenxiang.

Although Wenxiang's expression was unpleasant, she still nodded.

"She's my aunt..."

“But my uncle passed away a long time ago, and I haven’t been in contact with my aunt for two or three years. Today, she somehow found out that I received a sum of money, and she wants to steal it!”

"Bah! What do you mean by stealing your money? That was our family's money to begin with. You've been freeloading off us all these years, shouldn't I get some compensation?"

Before Wenxiang could finish speaking, the middle-aged woman spoke first.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Wenxiang said, "Over the years, I've used half of the money I earned to treat my mother's illness and the other half to pay you back. All these odds and ends have added up to over ten thousand yuan. I've already paid back what I owed you!"

The middle-aged woman snorted disdainfully upon hearing this.

"Pah, what nonsense! Let me tell you, all these years you've eaten and drunk at my house, and you even owe a damn mother to your mother. Otherwise, your mother would have died long ago, and you would have been begging for food long ago!"

"Stop talking nonsense and give me the money right now!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Sang Wenxiang's hand again.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ze understood the cause and effect.

I never imagined that Wenxiang had such a tragic past, having lived as an orphan since childhood and having to take care of her seriously ill mother.

He was a pitiful child.

"Ding! Random quest triggered!"

Help the female protagonist, Wenxiang, get rid of her aunt's entanglement, but she needs to serve her personally for a year!

Quest Reward: Heavenly Inquiry Sword (Superior Heavenly Rank)

Holy crap!

Upon seeing the reward given by the system, Qin Ze almost jumped up in excitement.

Heavenly Stairs!

The Heavenly Sword!

Tianwen is the number one sword among the ten most famous swords in a Chinese animated film. Originating in the State of Chu, it was later kept in the Xianyang Palace and was the personal sword of Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng. Very few people in the world have actually seen this sword in person. Seven round gems adorn the junction of the guard and blade, their arrangement corresponding to the Big Dipper. The handle points towards the tip of the sword.

Legend has it that the Heavenly Sword is also the sword of the Emperor's Way, and whoever possesses this sword will possess the world.

Moreover, the Heavenly Sword is actually a divine weapon.

It's important to know that weapons also have different grades.

From best to worst, they are Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow.

Each grade is further divided into low grade, medium grade, and high grade.

Even the Qin family, the number one family in China, only possessed three mid-grade Earth-rank weapons.

Other smaller families, let alone Earth-rank weapons, have very few even the worst Yellow-rank weapons.

Qin Ze grabbed the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was shocked that Qin Ze would actually attack her so suddenly. Looking at Qin Ze's tall figure, she couldn't help but swallow hard in fear.

"What...what do you want to do!"

Qin Ze ignored the middle-aged woman and turned to look at Wenxiang.

"I'll help you solve this problem, and in return, you'll serve me personally for a year!"

"What?!"

Wenxiang was clearly bewildered by Qin Ze's strange request.

Qin Ze frowned.

Wasn't what he said clear?

"I'll help you solve this problem and promise that her family will never come back to bother you again, but the condition is that you must serve me personally for a year. Is that clear enough?"

"Woman, my patience is limited. If you don't agree, you can deal with this crazy woman yourself."

As he spoke, he let go of the middle-aged woman's hand.

When the middle-aged woman saw her hand being released and overheard Qin Ze and Wen Xiang's conversation, her eyes lit up.

She had assumed that Qin Ze was Wenxiang's lover and that he was going to stand up for her.

But judging from the tone, it doesn't seem like it!

Immediately, her courage grew.

She refused to believe that she couldn't handle Wenxiang, a widow and orphan.

She reached out and grabbed at Wenxiang again.

She had just noticed that Wenxiang had a bank card tucked into her arms.

"You brat, give me your bank card right now!"

The middle-aged woman grabbed Wenxiang and reached into her bosom.

Wenxiang, a thin little girl, was no match for the burly middle-aged woman and was dragged over like a kitten.

Seeing his bank card being stolen, which was his life-saving money earned by trading his most precious possessions, he was shocked.

But she wanted to resist, yet she couldn't.

My aunt is incredibly strong.

"I promise you... I promise you!"

Finally, with no other choice, Wenxiang cried out to Qin Ze.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ze's lips curled into a cold smile.

Showing pity and tenderness to a beautiful woman?

Punish the strong and help the weak?

Bullshit, he's willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

Don't forget, he's the only villain in this novel. Since he's a villain, why would he need any righteous means?

He grabbed the middle-aged woman and pulled her over.

"Hey hey hey?"

Before the middle-aged woman could react, Qin Ze kicked her in the waist.

Thump!

The middle-aged woman fell to the ground, landing face-first in the dirt.
