My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Qin Gaozhi spoke, and to the side, Li Dabai snickered with a laugh.

"You dare to haggle with the Princely Heir?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Gaozhi felt another surge of anger, glaring at Li Dabai, his lips twitching but unable to say anything for quite some time.

At this moment, he only felt that this fat man was truly annoying.

Cheng Guang, hearing what Qin Gaozhi said, pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something interesting, feeling the situation becoming amusing.

He immediately nodded, "Alright, a stick of incense time is acceptable for fanning."

Having said that, Cheng Guang's gaze fell on Li Dabai, "Go fetch a stick of incense."

Li Dabai immediately nodded, ran off with a happy face to get the incense.

Seeing Qin Gaozhi's misfortune, he was particularly pleased.

However, it was only a moment before he returned with a stick of incense.

Qin Gaozhi sighed in relief upon seeing the incense Li Dabai brought over.

Fortunately, this fellow wasn't excessive, the incense he brought was just a common and normal one.

Cheng Guang took the incense, waving his hand, and the incense stick pierced straight into the ground while a burst of Qi ignited it.

"Begin."

Qin Gaozhi, looking at the incense burning at his feet, felt as if his dignity was being ruthlessly ground beneath the esteemed Princely Heir Cheng Guang's foot.

Yet if the Princely Heir was unwilling to let him off, and if Qin Beifeng and the others found out, he feared he might not die but would certainly be skinned.

Qin Gaozhi gritted his teeth and fiercely swung his hand, slapping his own face.

"Slap!"

In an instant.

Qin Gaozhi's face turned red.

Qin Gaozhi really exerted force, not holding back in the slightest.

Enduring, yet also quite ruthless.

Cheng Guang watched Qin Gaozhi, stroking his chin as he saw him in this state.

Someone who could endure such humiliation, no matter how submissive they appeared on the surface, could not possibly be content with mediocrity.

Cheng Guang was then somewhat able to understand why Qin Gaozhi would later betray that Princely Heir and turn to side with Emperor Zhou.

Along with the control of the Northern Expedition Army being taken back by Emperor Zhou.

This Qin Gaozhi, perhaps from the beginning, was a back-stabber.

He had never changed.

Cheng Guang watched Qin Gaozhi, who was slapping himself vigorously, one slap after another.

Qin Gaozhi's gaze was fixed on the stick of incense beneath his feet.

With each bit the incense burned, his heart felt a little more at ease.

As long as the incense burned down, he would be free.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Guang felt it was necessary to add a little something extra.

He began to slightly use the Tai Chi Diagram, with a flicker of black and white light at his fingertips passing by.

Cheng Guang subtly tapped the burning incense stick.

Slowing down the flow of time to the lowest.

The incense, previously burning fast, now took an imperceptibly slower time to burn.

Initially, Qin Gaozhi did not notice anything unusual.

But as he continued fanning, he felt something was wrong.

Because he realized that, although the incense had been burning continually, it never seemed to diminish.

He was somewhat puzzled, but the incense was burning right under his very eyes, and he had never heard of any method that could control the burning speed of incense.

There might be ways to make incense burn faster or extinguish it completely.

But in the current situation...

Qin Gaozhi did not understand.

He had no other option but to keep on slapping his own face.

Now there was only a little bit of the incense stick left.

Just a few dozen breaths of time and it would all be over.

Even though the incense was burning incredibly slow for some reason, it didn't matter anymore.

Qin Gaozhi consoled himself, continuing to slap himself in the face, one slap after another.

From the very forceful beginning to the increasingly weaker slaps toward the end.

His face was bruised, swollen to the point where his original appearance was nearly unrecognizable.

His eyes could barely fully open, and he was only able to see the outside world through a narrow slit.

With a trace of hope, Qin Gaozhi kept slapping himself.

The closer he got to the end, the more powerless his heart became.

When the final segment of the incense burned out, Qin Gaozhi let out a sigh of relief, turning his gaze toward Cheng Guang.

His head felt slightly dizzy, and his body swayed.

"Princely Heir, can it be over now?"

Qin Gaozhi panted heavily, his gaze looking at Cheng Guang, exhausted and in pain.

Cheng Guang's brows furrowed slightly. He had originally intended to add more to Qin Gaozhi's ordeal, to force him into a desperate act.

But he had underestimated just how much Qin Gaozhi could endure.

While Cheng Guang was pondering, a cold and emotionless voice echoed in his head.

[Mission completed.]

[Would you like to claim your reward?]

Just like that, the mission to teach Qin Gaozhi a lesson was deemed complete.

Even though the mission was accomplished, Cheng Guang didn't feel particularly happy.

Qin Gaozhi being such an enduring person, it was uncertain how many times he would stab him in the back later on; he still had to find an opportunity to deal with him for good.

The moment was not right to make a move.

Hiding and watching his wedding chamber was not reason enough.

After all, Qin Gaozhi was Qin Beifeng's sworn son and Qin Yanqiu's brother. If he were to kill Qin Gaozhi in public over such a reason,

It would be hard to justify.

Hiding and watching his wedding chamber, the lesson already given to Qin Gaozhi was sufficient.

Unless he could make Qin Gaozhi strike at him first.

But with Qin Gaozhi's capacity to endure, prompting him to act out on his own was almost impossible.

Cheng Guang considered this, suddenly sparking an idea, a faint smile appearing on his lips as he walked up to Qin Gaozhi.

"Li Dabai."

Cheng Guang called out.
