NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9
Chapter 9: Insult My Family and Bully My Nephew? Today, I Will Take Your Life as a Warning!:
Qin Yuan was at a loss for words as he listened to their accusations.
He couldn’t comprehend how things had turned so bizarre.
He had clearly ended the engagement the day before, so why was he now being forced to redeem it?
The situation was so absurd that it defied logic.
He couldn’t understand the thought process of these people.
“Qin Yuan, didn’t you always consider yourself a gentleman? If that’s true, then act like one!” Lin Yun shouted angrily. “Instead of taking responsibility, you left Mengyao alone to suffer, crying every day while you enjoyed yourself at home. How can you call yourself a man?”
The Su family disciples joined in, hurling insults at Qin Yuan, calling him a beast and even suggesting he should be killed on the spot.
Their words were so outrageous that even the powerful beings watching in secret were taken aback.
They couldn’t believe what they were hearing.
How could anyone dare to speak this way to Qin Yuan, who was at the pinnacle of power?
But despite the insults, Qin Yuan remained calm.
In his eyes, their words were nothing more than the barking of foolish dogs—not worth getting angry over. Instead of being upset, he found the situation almost amusing.
“Qin Yuan, are you deaf? I’m talking to you!” Su Meng shouted, growing increasingly frustrated at his lack of response.
Before Su Meng could say more, the Su family head, Su Yuanshan, stepped forward.
He walked over to Qin Yuan, his expression stern. “Qin Yuan,” he began, “as an elder, I must warn you. If you bully someone’s daughter, there are consequences! But because of your past kindness to Yao’er, I’m willing to let it go this time. Still, your attitude today is unacceptable!”
It was clear that Su Yuanshan was upset because Qin Yuan hadn’t responded to the family’s rebukes.
He took it as arrogance.
But why should Qin Yuan respond?
Would anyone waste time arguing with barking dogs?
Qin Yuan smiled.
He met Su Yuanshan’s gaze without flinching, a hint of dominance in his demeanor.
Su Yuanshan felt a chill run down his spine as he noticed Qin Yuan’s aura.
“Su Yuanshan, what do you think I am?” Qin Yuan asked.
Su Yuanshan hesitated, then answered, “You are the young patriarch of the Qin family and the Holy Son of the Heavenly Holy Land.”
“And what is your status?” Qin Yuan continued.
“I am the head of the Su family, and the leader of Qinglou Pavilion.” Su Yuanshan replied instinctively.
“Then what is the difference between our backgrounds?” Qin Yuan asked with a smirk.
Su Yuanshan was momentarily speechless but soon understood what Qin Yuan was implying.
He smiled disdainfully. “Qin Yuan, are you trying to use your background to oppress us? Let me tell you, I’m not afraid!”
Su Yuanshan’s confidence radiated as he stood tall, but Qin Yuan just smiled, which only made Su Yuanshan angrier.
He glared at Qin Yuan with fierce eyes. “Don’t change the subject, Qin Yuan! Your attitude is disrespectful! You come here empty-handed and speak rudely. Did your Qin family teach you to be this indecent?”
Su Yuanshan’s voice echoed through the room, his aura like that of a vicious wolf closing in on Qin Yuan.
Su Yuanshan’s cultivation was nearly at the Supreme level, making him a formidable force. But Qin Yuan wasn’t unprepared.
“Presumptuous!” A deep, powerful voice rang out, and the oppressive atmosphere Su Yuanshan had created instantly dissipated.
In its place was an overwhelming, abyss-like aura.
The space beside Qin Yuan began to crack, and an old man in white robes stepped out.
“A Supreme!” Su Yuanshan gasped, his pupils shrinking in fear.
But then he realized, “No… a Half-Step Supreme.” Su Yuanshan’s years of experience told him that the old man was a Half-Step Supreme, but his aura was so terrifying that it initially made him think he was facing a true Supreme.
However, he quickly dismissed that idea. The Qin family wouldn’t send a Supreme casually, would they?
Despite his confidence in his own power, Su Yuanshan now felt uneasy. The Qin family’s strength was undeniable, but he had never expected this.
“Second Uncle.” Qin Yuan greeted the old man softly.
“Yes,” Qin Tianhai responded, his eyes warm as he looked at Qin Yuan. But when his gaze shifted to Su Yuanshan, his expression turned cold and merciless. “Insult my Qin family and bully my nephew? I will take your life today as a warning to others!”
As he spoke, 180 swords appeared in the sky, hovering above Su Yuanshan.
The fear in Su Yuanshan’s heart was evident; he could feel the cold steel at his neck.
Su Yuanshan wanted to speak, but no words came out. He was too terrified to even form a coherent thought.
“Father!”
“Uncle!”
“Master!”
Su Mengyao and the other Su family disciples cried out in panic, their eyes wide with fear.
No one had expected things to escalate this far. Lin Yun secretly cursed the situation, realizing just how badly things had turned.
