"Crazy!"
"This guy is absolutely crazy!"
"He even dares to hit Zheng Qixuan?"
"Ever since everyone had known Zheng Qixuan, they had never seen him suffer any loss, not even from some influential people outside the school. How could he now get slapped in the face by Qin Xuan?"
It's due to ignorance and fearlessness!
"You, you..."
Chen Yan pointed at Qin Xuan, her throat almost bursting out smoke, unable to speak a complete sentence.
Liu Xinxin said, "Yan, why do you care about him? It was Aunt Lin who insisted you bring him here. No one will push the blame onto you. You don't need to say anything more."
"This country bumpkin probably thought he was capable. Wherever he went he acted all high and mighty, unwilling to suffer any loss. If he doesn't experience some lessons from society, he will never wake up in this lifetime!"
Chen Yan took a deep breath and didn't say any more.
Next to them, Huang Chuan and Sun Yanan exchanged glances, with ecstatic expressions in their eyes.
This was the outcome they most wanted to see.
They really couldn't figure out who could still save Qin Xuan tonight. No matter how capable you are in fighting, can you beat bullets?
Xia Wanying already had tears brimming her eyes. Her mind was in a mess but she still remembered to pull Qin Xuan's arm and whispered, "Hurry, let's go."
Qin Xuan gave her a reassuring look, indicating it was not a big problem.
Soon after, Zheng Qixuan climbed up from the ground, touched the corner of his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground. "Do you think that after slapping me, you are more qualified than me to be Xia Wanying's boyfriend?"
Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes without saying anything.
Zheng Qixuan walked two steps forward with an imposing aura, as if it had exploded in an instant.
"In terms of family background, my father started from nothing and is now one of the top richest men in Yuncheng!"
"In terms of connections, when my father hosts a birthday banquet, all the distinguished figures in Yuncheng eagerly come to celebrate, rushing to get through the door!"
"As for me, since middle school I have been the top student in every subject. Two years ago, I entered Yuncheng University with the top score in the province. With just 100,000 yuan in start-up capital, I have established my own company with annual income exceeding tens of millions!"
Zheng Qixuan's face showed great confidence. When he looked at Qin Xuan again, his eyes were full of disdain. "And you, just a country bumpkin from the lowest level of society, what can you compete against me with? With you by Xia Wanying's side, all you bring her is strange looks from others. What else can you offer her?"
These words stirred up the crowd's blood, even though they already knew about these achievements. They couldn't help but be in awe of Zheng Qixuan.
This man was outstanding even without his family background!
Qin Xuan didn't bother debating with Zheng Qixuan.
If they had to compete on background, Qin Xuan dared to guarantee that a Senior Sister alone would be enough to make Zheng Qixuan feel despair.
"You seem rather proud. As you say, I have nothing, but if I hold Wanying's hand, she will definitely not resist. Do you believe it or not?"
Qin Xuan leisurely said.
He wanted to anger Zheng Qixuan to death!
Sure enough, Zheng Qixuan's expression drastically changed.
Without any hesitation, Qin Xuan grabbed Xia Wanying's hand and held it tightly.
Time passed second by second.
A full three minutes passed and other than her flushed face, Xia Wanying did not react at all, letting Qin Xuan hold her hand like that!
Zheng Qixuan's mind collapsed.
This was thousands, tens of thousands times more unbearable than being slapped!
The people around couldn't help but sigh. Even Chen Yan was filled with disbelief...
"You will die tonight, you must die!!"
Zheng Qixuan seemed to have lost his senses, his face twisted hideously to the extreme.
Just then!
The room door was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang.
Within sight.
A scar-faced man led over ten uniformly dressed people, charging in aggressively.
Seeing this scar-faced man, Zheng Qixuan's face was filled with horror. "Wan Jiapeng!!"
"Surprised? After you guys drove me out of Yuncheng back then, three years later, I'm back."
Wan Jiapeng sneered, making the scar on his face look even more shocking. "Everyone here, kneel down for me!"
As soon as he said this.
The people behind Wan Jiapeng all took out their machetes, exuding an aura of desperados.
Huang Chuan, Sun Yanan and the others, their legs went soft from fright. They knelt down without hesitation.
Chen Yan's face also turned pale from shock, frozen there not knowing how to react.
"You are all Zheng Qixuan's friends right? No one knows how much I hate him and his father. Since you are his friends, don't think about having an easy time tonight!" Wan Jiapeng snorted heavily.
In that instant, many realized they were going to be implicated and got so frightened that the air was filled with a pungent smell of urine.
Qin Xuan glanced at the flustered Chen Yan and shook his head helplessly, thinking Aunt Lin really had foresight. If he hadn't come tonight, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Come here!"
Qin Xuan shouted at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan gave a start, as if waking from a dream. She didn't hesitate anymore and rushed to Qin Xuan's side in one step.
Other than Chen Yan and Xia Wanying.
Qin Xuan didn't want to bother with anyone else!
Just as Qin Xuan was about to leave with the two girls, Wan Jiapeng frowned. "Little country bumpkin, what do you mean by ignoring me?"
Qin Xuan calmly said, "Let's give each other some face. I'll take these two girls and leave. As for the others, I won't get involved."
"I didn't expect a little country bumpkin like you to be the gutsiest among these people. Not only do you not kneel, you even want to leave with them..."
Wan Jiapeng squinted and sneered, "I'm very curious what gives you the right to say this to me?"
"The right?"
Qin Xuan chuckled softly. He picked up a pair of chopsticks from the nearby table and flicked it sharply at Wan Jiapeng.
Whoosh—
The chopsticks seemed to be injected with tremendous force. Its speed was comparable to a bullet, emitting a piercing sound.
Wan Jiapeng was startled and reflexively dodged to the left.
The next moment.
"Ah!!"
The man behind Wan Jiapeng became the target. His body recoiled and slammed heavily into the wall.
Clearly visible, a pair of chopsticks was nailed into his left shoulder, pinning him to the wall!
"Now, do I have the right?" Qin Xuan's gaze locked onto Wan Jiapeng!
"You..."
Wan Jiapeng's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, still in shock for a long time.
Even Zheng Qixuan was frightened, his scalp tingling numb.
In his eyes, the country bumpkin was useless, yet with just a pair of chopsticks, he could injure someone in the blink of an eye.
Even his father's best fighters didn't seem to have such terrifying skills!
Zheng Qixuan's legs turned soft. Under the dual shock from Scarface and Qin Xuan, he plopped down on the floor.
The arrogance he displayed earlier vanished instantly!
"I'm asking you a question."
Qin Xuan approached Wan Jiapeng, his gaze as sharp as an eagle. "Do I have the right now?"
"Yes, yes, you have the right."
Wan Jiapeng nodded vigorously, flustered and exclaimed, "You can take those two girls anytime. I won't complain, and even let the rest go except for Zheng Qixuan. It's up to you!"
Upon hearing this.
It was like dropping a bombshell into the calm lake.
To Huang Chuan and the others, Qin Xuan was now their only lifesaver!
"Qin Xuan, take me too, I'm begging you." Huang Chuan pleaded.
"And me too, I was wrong yesterday, let me apologize to you!" Sun Yanan stammered.
Everyone pleaded in unison.
They had been frightened out of their wits, all shivering uncontrollably!
"You slowly consider it. Let me handle my business first."
Wan Jiapeng politely said to Qin Xuan before walking over to Zheng Qixuan with a machete.
At this moment, Zheng Qixuan seemed to smell the breath of death. He was in no mood to think about face anymore and frantically shouted at Qin Xuan, "Save me! I'll apologize to you, compensate you, anything you want!"
Unfortunately, Qin Xuan completely ignored him.
For a man of clear loves and hatreds, he would be the most hardhearted in this situation!
One should know that just now Zheng Qixuan was ready to kill Qin Xuan. Even if Wan Jiapeng killed him now, it would be a death he deserved!
"Ah--"
Zheng Qixuan suddenly let out a miserable shriek.
In this fleeting moment, he had already been hacked three times, drenched in blood!
This scene was enough to leave an indelible psychological shadow on everyone present!
"Are you just going to stand by and watch him die?" Chen Yan looked at Qin Xuan.
"How can you say that with a clear conscience? If you're so sympathetic, why don't you go save him instead of wasting your breath on me?" Qin Xuan retorted mercilessly.
"You!"
Chen Yan gritted her teeth and quickly closed her eyes, covering her ears.
Qin Xuan didn't even bother to glance at her. Instead, he said to Xia Wanying, "Close your eyes and don't look, or you'll have nightmares."
Xia Wanying closed her eyes and nodded, but her body was still shaking uncontrollably. She could only grip Qin Xuan's arm tightly with both hands.
Chen Yan couldn't help but open her eyes. She noticed Qin Xuan's differential treatment and inexplicably felt a surge of...indescribable grievance!
About three minutes later.
Zheng Qixuan was lying on the ground, covered in blood, already motionless, his life or death unknown.
"Thank you for not stopping me from avenging myself. After I go avenge myself on Zheng Qixuan's father, I'll come back to repay you for this favor." Wan Jiapeng said.
Qin Xuan was indifferent, without any reaction at all.
Wan Jiapeng glanced at Huang Chuan and the others, and coldly snorted, "Although this young man hasn't made a decision yet, I'll spare you for his sake. Thank him properly!"
Everyone looked at Qin Xuan and thanked him repeatedly.
But these words of 'pardoning' didn't come from Qin Xuan's mouth. Huang Chuan, Sun Yanan, and Liu Xinxin appeared to be thanking him, but in reality, their hatred towards Qin Xuan was even stronger than before.
This was simply because Qin Xuan didn't take the initiative to say he would save them, overlooking the fundamental issue: if not for Qin Xuan, they would have all been in trouble tonight!
Such is human nature!
Qin Xuan indifferently swept his eyes over the scene, his heart calm as an ancient well. He left the private room with Xia Wanying and Chen Yan.
However...
No sooner had one wave subsided than another one rose.
A chaotic, urgent patter of footsteps was swiftly approaching.
With Qin Xuan's perception, the raging, sky-filling murderous aura from outside was drawing nearer and nearer!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
