So, let's recap.
I, **Luo Zin**, the 9th Young Master of the Luo Family, just **broke every record** in the family's ritual ceremony. The bloodline stone practically screamed "this kid is special," the elemental resonance crystal **shattered**, and the endurance trial? Please. That was a playground for me.
And now? I was officially recognized.
But of course, I couldn't just enjoy my victory in peace. Oh no, because when you're **too good**, people start getting *ideas*.

### **The Aftermath**
After the ceremony, I was escorted to my personal courtyard—well, *baby-sized* personal courtyard. Fancy place, but still.
I barely had time to sit before **Luo Feng**, my second brother, barged in.
Now, let's talk about Luo Feng.
- **Eldest brother, Luo Chen? Genius. Cold. Arrogant.**
- **Second brother, Luo Feng? Hot-headed. Proud. Definitely not a fan of me right now.**
And judging by his face, he looked like he just swallowed a bug.
**"How did you do that?"** he demanded.
Ah, here we go.
I blinked, putting on my best innocent baby expression. "Do what?"
He clenched his fists. "Don't act dumb, Zin. You broke the crystal! No one in the family has ever done that!"
I tilted my head. "Ohhh, you mean *that*? I just touched it and... boom."
He looked like he wanted to punch something. Instead, he took a deep breath. "Father must have done something. There's no way a **one-year-old** could have such strong elemental affinity."
I gasped. "Brother, are you saying **our father, the great patriarch, cheats?** That's **treasonous talk!**"
His face twisted. "I didn't—"
"Oh noooo, if the elders heard this, you might get punished! I better go tell them before it's too late!"
His face turned red with rage. **Bingo.**
**[You have mentally tormented a family member. +0.08 Evil Points]**
A few maids watching from the doorway were now whispering among themselves. Luo Feng realized he had just put himself in a bad situation.
Gritting his teeth, he turned on his heel and stormed out.
Heheh. *Too easy.*

### **The Seed of Conflict**
Later that evening, I got another surprise visitor—**my eldest sister, Luo Yuyan**.
Now, Yuyan was different from Luo Feng. She wasn't hot-headed. No, she was **dangerous** in a different way. Smart. Manipulative. Always calculating.
She sat gracefully on the chair opposite me, her cold eyes watching me like I was an interesting puzzle.
"You're an interesting one," she finally said.
I blinked at her with my best clueless-baby face. "I am just a cute little brother, big sis."
She smirked. "Cute? Hardly. No baby talks the way you do."
I gave her an innocent smile. "Maybe I'm just smart?"
"Maybe. Or maybe… you're hiding something."
Well, *she's sharp*. But I wasn't about to admit anything.
Instead, I decided to test her patience.
I reached for a plate of fruits on the table, grabbed a grape, and threw it at her forehead.
**Boop.**
Silence.
**[You have mildly annoyed a family member. +0.02 Evil Points]**
Luo Yuyan slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Luo Zin…"
"Yes, dear sister?"
She stood up. "We'll talk later." And just like that, she left.
I smirked. Oh yeah, **I was definitely getting under their skin.**

### **The First Disaster**
The next day, I woke up **bored**.
And a **bored evil genius baby** is a **dangerous evil genius baby**.
So, what did I do?
I decided to **test my abilities**.
I had discovered that **breaking objects** gave me tiny amounts of Evil Points. So, naturally, I had to see **what happens when I break a lot of things**.
I started small.
- Tore up some pillows. **(+0.01 EP)**
- Shredded some curtains. **(+0.01 EP)**
- Broke a few decorative vases. **(+0.05 EP)**
But then, I thought, *why stop there?*
That's when I found something **far more valuable**—the **family's training arena**.
Now, the Luo Family had a huge martial training ground where young members practiced combat. It was filled with weapons, dummies, and best of all—**tons of fragile training equipment**.
So, naturally, I did what any self-respecting evil reincarnator would do.
I **sabotaged everything**.
- I loosened the screws on the weapon racks.
- I **swapped out the practice swords with weaker bamboo sticks**.
- And just for fun, I sprinkled itching powder on the elder's favorite meditation mats.
By the time morning training began, the place turned into **absolute chaos**.
- Swords snapped mid-swing.
- Training dummies **collapsed** when struck.
- The family's finest young warriors **fell flat on their faces** as their equipment betrayed them.
And then—
**"WHO DID THIS?!"** an elder roared.
I sat in my courtyard, casually nibbling on a fruit, as I listened to the commotion.
Ahh, nothing like **morning chaos** to start the day.
**[You have caused large-scale inconvenience to the family. +0.25 Evil Points]**

### **The Aftermath**
Later that day, the **patriarch himself** held a meeting with the elders, discussing the **sabotage incident**.
Naturally, fingers were pointed. Suspicions arose.
Some blamed the **rival families**. Others suspected **internal betrayal**. Luo Feng was already **on edge** after yesterday, so people started questioning **his loyalty**.
Meanwhile, I sat comfortably in my room, **completely unnoticed**.
And that's how, at **one year old**, I **started the first internal conflict in the Luo Family**.

### **Ending Hook**
With chaos brewing in the family, how long can Luo Zin remain undetected? And what happens when the **Luo Patriarch himself** starts to take notice of his mysterious youngest son?
