Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 248: The Reborn Empress, the First Young Master of Chuzhou

Thinking of this, Jiang Che immediately communicated with the system in his mind.

“System, check this woman’s attribute panel.”

Name: Gu Menghan

Identity: Eldest Miss of the Gu Family in the Capital (Reincarnation of an Empress) (Memory not awakened)

Cultivation: Mid Man and Heaven Realm

Luck: ???

Reincarnation of an Empress?

Seeing the attribute panel listed by the system, Jiang Che was completely dumbfounded. He never expected to encounter someone reincarnated as an empress here.

Regardless of which world this woman was an empress in, anyone who could be associated with the title of empress must have been an incredibly formidable existence in her previous life.

Now he understood why this woman could cultivate to the mid Man and Heaven realm at such a young age. Cultivating martial arts was probably a piece of cake for someone like her.

“When will her memories awaken, and is she not a heroine?”

Jiang Che asked curiously because he noticed the “memory not awakened” tag on Gu Menghan’s attribute panel.

“This system cannot determine when her memories will awaken. It might happen when Gu Menghan’s cultivation breaks through to the Shattering Void realm.”

“She is not a heroine and her appearance in this world is just an accident.” The cold, emotionless mechanical voice of the system echoed in Jiang Che’s ears.

Because Gu Menghan was not a heroine of any specific novel, the system could not probe much into her information.

“Just an accident?” Hearing the system’s explanation, Jiang Che’s expression became even more peculiar. Could he really have encountered such an accident?

“What’s up, cousin? Are you mesmerized by Gu Menghan’s appearance?” Seeing Jiang Che staring blankly at Gu Menghan, Su Hongwen chuckled and teased.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, cousin. This woman is fierce! She’s a tomboy and never smiles!” Su Hongwen leaned close to Jiang Che’s ear and whispered, his voice as soft as a mosquito, fearing that Gu Menghan might hear and beat him up again.

“No, I was just curious why her cultivation is so high at such a young age.” Jiang Che shook his head and said. Although this woman was indeed beautiful, she wasn’t captivating enough to make him lose himself. After all, he had seen many beauties.

“Is her cultivation higher than yours?” Su Hongwen’s mouth twitched, feeling speechless. He thought Jiang Che was just being boastful!

“And what about that man?” Jiang Che didn’t dwell on the matter but looked at the young man beside Gu Menghan.

“That’s Gu Menghan’s younger brother, Gu Qing. He’s also a young genius, the same age as me, and has the same cultivation level.” Su Hongwen glanced at the young man and explained slowly.

He knew Gu Qing fairly well. If Gu Menghan was the top young talent in the Gu family, then Gu Qing was undoubtedly the second. These siblings had high prestige in the Gu family, especially among the younger generation.

Jiang Che nodded silently and didn’t ask further questions. He quietly sat in his chair, drinking his tea, occasionally whispering sweet words to Jiang Yun’er, making the little girl blush and giggle.

Not everyone had arrived yet, and the banquet hadn’t officially started. He was just early.

……

“The young master of the Chu family has arrived.”

“Welcome, young master of the Chu family. Chu young master is indeed a talented man.”

After about half an hour, while Jiang Che was whispering to Jiang Yun’er, he suddenly heard a commotion.

Jiang Che slowly raised his head and looked towards the door.

A young man in his early twenties walked in, smiling brightly without any air of arrogance.

Jiang Che recognized him. He had seen his photo at home before. This was Chu Mingcheng, the eldest young master of the Chu family in Chuzhou.

At twenty-four years old and a martial artist at the early Man and Heaven realm, a true young genius.

“Young Master Jiang, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” After scanning the hall, Chu Mingcheng quickly noticed Jiang Che. His eyes lit up, and he walked straight to Jiang Che, engaging in polite conversation.

Jiang Che was someone he wanted to befriend today, given their proximity.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

One was in Jiangzhou, the other in Chuzhou. If anything happened in the future, they could look out for each other. He wasn’t here for the mineral resources but mainly to connect with Jiang Che.

After all, the minerals were discovered in Jiangzhou. Forcibly seizing them would only displease the Jiang family, which wasn’t the outcome he wanted.

Although the minerals were extremely tempting, they were nothing compared to the smooth inheritance of the family head position. He came with a family task to gain as much benefit as possible.

Although Chu Mingcheng agreed, he never intended to do so.

“So it’s Young Master Chu, nice to meet you.” Jiang Che also smiled back, appearing very amicable.

Regardless of Chu Mingcheng’s intentions, he couldn’t let the other party feel awkward. He had to maintain courtesy.

“Young Master Jiang knows me?” Chu Mingcheng was stunned, looking at Jiang Che in surprise.

Honestly, he didn’t expect Jiang Che to know him. Although he was the top young master in Chuzhou, there was still a gap compared to Jiang Che.

This touched upon the background and relationships between the Jiang and Chu families, which were not to be discussed.

“I’ve heard about you. Young Master Chu is indeed outstanding.”

“Young Master Jiang, you flatter me. I might be handsome, but I’m no match for you.” Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Chu Mingcheng smiled wryly.

He found that Jiang Che wasn’t as difficult to approach as he thought. The other party was quite easygoing.

“Why be modest, you are indeed handsome…”

“Calling me Young Master Chu is too formal. Just call me Mingcheng.”

“Then I won’t be polite. Call me Jiang Che.” After some polite conversation, Jiang Che got straight to the point. “Mingcheng, why are you here this time?”

Jiang Che was also unsure if Chu Mingcheng came for the mineral resources or just to make connections like Ren Tianchou.

“Young Master Jiang, don’t worry. I’m not here for the minerals.” Seeing Jiang Che’s concern, Chu Mingcheng smiled.

Although his family asked him to gain resources, Chu Mingcheng valued building connections with everyone at the banquet, especially Jiang Che, much more than the minerals.

After all, relationships lasted a lifetime. Even though Jiang Che asked him not to call him Young Master Jiang, Chu Mingcheng still spoke respectfully, giving Jiang Che enough face.

It was rare for someone like Chu Mingcheng to willingly lower himself. It showed he genuinely wanted to befriend Jiang Che.
