Ye Hao No, it's Qin Hao Damn it, are you provoking me

Qin Wuya glanced at Qin Hao, a playful curve forming at the corner of his lips.

With a flash, he disappeared from Qin Hao's sight. In the next second, his figure appeared in the center of the Palace of Longevity.

Following Qin Wuya's appearance, the previously noisy Palace of Longevity immediately quieted down.

Qin Wuya cupped his hands toward the crowd present: Everyone, thank you for gracing us with your presence to attend the birthday celebration of my Qin family's First Ancestor. Today, with various factions gathered, it is a rare opportunity. I have a proposal.

Let's take advantage of this rare opportunity to let the younger generation spar.

Qin Wuya took out an Emperor-grade divine ability, an Ultimate Emperor Weapon, and a wisp of Innate Purple Energy:

These are some prizes I'm adding to this match. Whoever can claim the ultimate victory in today's sparring will receive these rewards.

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Changsheng of the Jiang family also stepped forward. He similarly took out several supreme treasures as rewards.

I agree with Brother Qin's proposal. It's rare for the prodigies of various factions to gather together. We might as well use this opportunity to spar and compete.

Following the two of them, representatives of the other factions also brought out rewards one after another. When stacked together, these rewards reached a terrifying level, completely rivaling the birthday gifts presented to the Qin family's First Ancestor.

The prodigies of the various factions were incredibly tempted by such rewards, each of them itching to try.

Seeing this, Qin Wuya immediately raised his hand to set up a formation:

Considering that the prodigies from various factions have cultivated for different lengths of time, for the sake of fairness, this formation will suppress everyone's cultivation base to the Soul Formation Realm.

Hearing this, Jiang Changsheng grabbed Qin Wuya's hand:

Brother Qin, isn't it a bit unfair for you to do this? Suppressing everyone to the same realm? You might as well just say you're giving all these rewards to your Qin family.

Jiang Changsheng had witnessed Qin Hao's combat prowess within the same realm. In a same-realm battle, among all the prodigies present, who could possibly be Qin Hao's match?

Not to mention these prodigies who hadn't fully grown yet, even when these Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings were young, apart from Qin Wuya, the combat prowess they displayed was vastly inferior to Qin Hao's.

Qin Wuya chuckled lightly: Since Brother Jiang puts it that way, my Qin family won't bully you either. The cultivation base of my Qin family's representative will be suppressed to the Nascent Soul Realm. What's the harm in giving you a realm of advantage?

The prodigies present were all proud and arrogant individuals. Which one of them didn't feel that they were the most special existence in this world? Which one didn't feel that no one else was their match?

Now hearing Qin Wuya's dismissive proposal, how could they accept it?

What is the Qin family trying to do? Are they looking down on us, or do they have a hidden prodigy? Who could it be? The Qin family's Imperial Son?

The Qin family's Imperial Son? Didn't they say even his providence was borrowed away, and he's just someone who can't cultivate, relying entirely on the family to forcefully infuse him with cultivation? What strength could he possibly have? It shouldn't be him, but someone else.

I really can't figure out what the Qin family is plotting.

Not far away, hidden in the void, Qin Hao couldn't help but frown deeply after hearing Qin Wuya's words.

What is this cheap dad trying to do? Isn't this just roasting me over a fire? Didn't he tell me before not to expose myself to avoid being targeted by the Qin family's enemies? What is he doing now?

Just as Qin Hao was feeling bewildered, a powerful force directly yanked him out from the void. Little brat, stop hiding. You have to face this sooner or later!

When Qin Wuya made his move, Qin Hao didn't even have time to react before being dragged by this force into the Palace of Longevity.

Qin Wuya threw Qin Hao into the formation and then said:

Everyone! This is my son, and he will fight as the Qin family's representative! His cultivation will be suppressed to the Nascent Soul Realm. Not only that, but I also allow you to fight him in rotation.

Instantly, countless curious, scrutinizing, disdainful, and probing gazes focused on Qin Hao like spotlights. However, Qin Hao's heavenly secrets had already been shielded by Qin Wuya, so these people couldn't see anything at all.

Is this the rumored Qin family Imperial Son whose providence was borrowed? He looks very ordinary; I don't sense any special physique from him.

I have to say, this Qin family Imperial Son is truly handsome. It's a pity, though. This is the Immortal Realm, not the Mortal Realm. In the Mortal Realm, he could still make a living off that face, but in the Immortal Realm, everything speaks with strength.

Do not underestimate the enemy! The fact that the contemporary Immortal Emperor of the Qin family dares to let him fight Soul Formation experts with a Nascent Soul cultivation, and even permits rotational battles, is enough to prove that this guy is extraordinary!

Among the crowd, a sharp gaze from the Ye family stared fixedly at Qin Hao: He has the qualifications to be my opponent!

Meanwhile, in the Jiang family's camp.

The moment Qin Hao was tossed out by Qin Wuya, Jiang Xinyao felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her delicate body trembled, and the wine cup in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, spilling fine nectar all over her dress without her even noticing.

Her beautiful eyes widened, staring fixedly at the face inside the formation barrier, the face that haunted her dreams.

Ye Hao!!!

No! It was Qin Hao!

That face, that posture, and that unique aura she could faintly feel even through the formation, which made her both love and hate him... She definitely wasn't mistaken!

He... he was the Qin family's Imperial Son? The very Qin family Imperial Son she was engaged to?

Realizing that she was once engaged to Qin Hao, Jiang Xinyao's pupils contracted violently. Her red lips parted slightly, but she couldn't make a sound.

Intertwined emotions of shock and anger left Jiang Xinyao's mind in a tangled mess.

Immediately after, the grievance of being deceived and played with erupted in her heart like a volcano.

So, everything was fake. All those beautiful moments that made me unable to forget him were just illusions he created to get revenge on me! To retaliate against me for breaking off our engagement?

Jiang Xinyao's face instantly turned pale, then quickly flushed red. Her chest heaved violently as scenes of her time with Qin Hao involuntarily surfaced in her mind. Were all those laughs, all those times they leaned on each other, fake?

Qin Hao also felt Jiang Xinyao's overly burning gaze. He turned his head, and across the formation and the crowd, his eyes met Jiang Xinyao's beautiful eyes, which looked as if they wanted to swallow him alive.

As their eyes met, Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat: Crap, the Asura arena has finally arrived.

Forcing himself to stay calm, Qin Hao took a deep breath and then revealed a gentle, sunny smile toward Jiang Xinyao's direction.

Xinyao said she loves seeing my smile the most. If I smile at her, her anger will definitely subside a lot.

However, this action of Qin Hao's was like a basin of ice water poured into a boiling pot of oil, making Jiang Xinyao instantly boil over.

Crack!

Seeing Qin Hao actually smiling at her, Jiang Xinyao's breath hitched, and then she flew into a furious rage. Her tightly clenched fists cracked from the sheer force.

This bastard! Doesn't he have anything to say to me? What is he doing smiling so playfully? Provoking me? If his goal was to provoke me, then congratulations, you've succeeded!
