"Bring Qin Xuan here!"
Yang Hao shouted angrily.
Chu Zhenxiong and the others were already shocked, and it took them a long time to recover. Now they were frightened again, with the corners of their mouths twitching uncontrollably.
Just who was this Qin Xuan? Was he a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, or was he really powerful enough to look down on Chu Zhenxiong?
Gao Qingyang was lying on the ground, breaking out in cold sweat from the pain, but still gritted his teeth and roared, "You will pay a heavy price for your arrogance!"
Qin Xuan's expression did not change.
Since they were already enemies, sooner or later Chu Zhenxiong would come to get revenge for his disciple. It was better to get it over with than to invite more trouble.
"Stop wasting time. Bring your master here!" Qin Xuan said impatiently.
"...My master is not in the country at the moment. Just you wait!" Gao Qingyang said bitterly after some hesitation.
So no one could come to his rescue tonight?
Qin Xuan laughed. "Then what are you acting so arrogantly for? If you want to leave tonight, you'll have to come up with something valuable."
"Have some decency!" Gao Qingyang roared.
Bang!
Qin Xuan kicked him flying away. "At first, didn't I let you go? And now you're talking to me about decency? Could you be more hypocritical?"
Gao Qingyang was in too much pain to speak.
One of his followers gritted his teeth, "We admit defeat tonight. Tell us what you want."
Qin Xuan said, "Money!"
Simple, crude and efficient.
Just hand over the money and it's done!
The follower asked with a dark face, "How much?"
Qin Xuan thought for a moment, then held up three fingers. "Three million from each of you three."
Nine million?
Even bandits weren't so shameless!
Gao Qingyang, who was lying on the ground, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The two followers exchanged a glance, then reluctantly took out two bank cards containing just over nine million yuan total.
Qin Xuan threw the two cards to Chu Haojie. "Go check the balance. If it's correct, transfer it to my account."
Chu Haojie was happy to run this errand. He immediately rushed out to get his bank contacts to urgently process the transfer.
In just half an hour, Chu Haojie came back.
Qin Xuan also received a transfer confirmation notice. It included over nine million from Gao Qingyang's side, plus the ten million Chu Haojie had previously promised.
With just this casual trip tonight, over fourteen million had entered his account. Added to his original balance, he now had over one hundred million in assets.
Qin Xuan nodded in great satisfaction, then said to the two followers, "You can go now."
The two quickly fled with Gao Qingyang. When they reached the door, one of them stopped and said viciously, "This isn't over. The day your Master Chu returns will be your death day!"
After leaving their threat, the three disappeared from sight.
At this point, the atmosphere in the reception room was strange.
Chu Zhenxiong sighed deeply. "Young Qin, I'm sorry. I'm getting on in years and my eyesight is failing. I was blind not to see your worth. My apologies, my apologies!"
Chu Qingya also quickly said, "I'm sorry, junior brother. I misunderstood you. Forgive your senior sister, won't you? Let's communicate more on campus from now on." As she spoke, she threw a flirtatious glance at Qin Xuan.
"You think you're beautiful and charming? Go get your eyes fixed. Stop making eyes at me." Qin Xuan turned and left.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, full of regret.
Slap!
Chu Zhenxiong slapped Chu Qingya in the face. "You've really made a mess. If not for the things you told me last night, would I have treated Young Qin that way? You've brought shame to the Chu family!"
Chu Qingya already felt very sorry and wronged. Now being slapped, her emotions rose to the surface. "I was wrong about this matter, but was it necessary to go this far? Our family isn't without a master, we just don't reveal it to outsiders. Do we really need Qin Xuan?"
The Chu family did have a master.
That was a force hidden in the shadows, the foundation of the Chu family.
Even someone as influential as Gao Qingyang could not uncover it, showing how deeply the Chu family concealed their strength!
Chu Zhenxiong did not continue berating Chu Qingya, only pinched the bridge of his nose as if suffering from a splitting headache.
This silly girl had no idea how serious things were.
Was Qin Xuan an ordinary master?
He was only eighteen!
Someone with such potential was hard to imagine. In just two or three years, Qin Xuan might develop power exceeding the Chu family!
Missing the chance to win over Qin Xuan was equivalent to losing wealth beyond estimation!
Just then, Chu Qingqiu spoke up. "Grandfather, let me make amends and try to get on good terms with Qin Xuan to make up for this mistake."
"What use would you be?"
Chu Haojie was unhappy. "I was the first to meet Young Qin. Between the money before and now, I've given him 1.5 million. Based on our connection, he should be more willing to accept my overtures."
Chu Haoyun argued, "That's not necessarily so. Before Qingqiu graduated from Yuncheng University, she was the campus belle and still has influence there. She may be able to do it."
"Enough, enough! All you do is fight each other instead of thinking about the greater interests of the family!" Chu Zhenxiong thundered angrily.
Chu Qingqiu reacted quickly. "Grandfather is right. We shouldn't divide ourselves over this matter. Let's work on it together."
Chu Zhenxiong nodded approvingly.
At the same time.
In a hotel room.
The woman in the black leather jacket leaned quietly by the window, with endless melancholy in her eyes, as if nothing in the world could make her smile.
Behind her, a middle-aged man reported some things about Qin Xuan.
The woman sighed imperceptibly. "Go kill Gao Qingyang and those two followers. My junior brother doesn't have the ability yet to contend against enemies like Chu Zhenxiong. He really is a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, causing too much trouble..."
Killing Gao Qingyang's group promptly meant that Chu Zhenxiong would not trace things back to Qin Xuan for now.
In modern society, martial arts masters do shine brightly.
But often, skill alone does not mean unhindered arrogance.
Power is a sword that can grievously injure countless outstanding talents!
The middle-aged man nodded in agreement, then asked, "Are you planning to protect him like this forever?"
The melancholy in the woman's eyes deepened.
Recalling leaving that place she'd lived for over twenty years, and those familiar faces, she couldn't help feeling sad.
"What are you getting at?" the woman asked.
"With his temperament, his loves and hatreds are clearly demarcated. For those good to him, he repays a hundredfold; for those with evil intent... Once his temper flares up, even facing thousands of troops and horses, he won't compromise."
The middle-aged man sighed. "With this kind of temper, sooner or later he'll suffer a big loss."
"Mind your own business!"
The woman slapped him flying. Her voice was cold as ice. "No one can speak ill of my junior brother. Next time, it will cost you your life."
The terrified middle-aged man quickly apologized, then hurried off to assassinate Gao Qingyang's group.
Though he had left the hotel, his whole body still trembled.
That woman was just too frightening. Those Eight Great Masters of Jiangnan were nothing before her.
Yet from what he'd inadvertently learned, this woman's eighth junior sister was even more terrifying than her.
Too many frogs in wells thought Qin Xuan was of humble origins. In fact, his background was frighteningly deep.
To call him a supreme second generation heir would not be an exaggeration!
...
After leaving the Chu estate, Qin Xuan went to a restaurant for a meal.
While waiting for the food, he toyed with the piece of jade.
For now, he could only ascertain that the thing was very valuable. If sold, it would certainly fetch a price in the hundreds of millions.
As for other uses, Qin Xuan had yet to discover any.
But taking a step back, just the value of the artifact itself meant getting involved to save Tieshan River wasn't a loss.
Suddenly, Qin Xuan noticed a scent of perfume and looked up to see Chu Qingqiu, Chu Zhenxiong's other granddaughter!
The two sides had only glimpsed each other tonight without any interaction.
"Something you need?" Qin Xuan asked.
Chu Qingqiu had come to get on Qin Xuan's good side, and was just wondering how to bring it up. Seeing him fiddling with the jade, she smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, I'll offer twenty million to buy that piece of jade. What do you think?"
She didn't understand anything about artifacts.
She thought even if it was an antique, it would be worth a few million at most.
Now buying it at a price of 20 million is really no different from just giving the money to Qin Xuan.
However.
Qin Xuan's expression suddenly changed, looking at her as if she was an idiot, "Are you crazy?"
Chu Qingqiu was a little confused.
She didn't know what she had said wrong.
Before she could ask, an angry roar suddenly came from the side: "Stupid country bumpkin, do you know who she is? How dare you say she's crazy!"
The owner of the voice was the president of the taekwondo club, Yang Hao.
There were also several other club members with him.
Tonight Yang Hao was treating them to dinner and had just been about to go pay when he saw Qin Xuan scolding Chu Qingqiu. He just couldn't stand it.
Yang Hao was fortunate enough to have eaten with Chu Qingqiu and some others before. Later he had tried many times to find an opportunity to chat her up but failed every time.
So of course now he jumped at the chance to defend her!
"Get lost now, I don't want to beat you a second time." Qin Xuan said impatiently.
"Damn you!"
Yang Hao was so angry he almost spit blood. "Just because you can fight doesn't mean you can be arrogant and dismiss everyone else. Saying those leaders of the school are useless bastards is one thing, but now you even dare insult Miss Chu? Who gave you the guts? She's the precious granddaughter of the Chu family! Old Master Chu's most beloved grandchild!"
Saying this, Yang Hao looked at Chu Qingqiu ingratiatingly, "Miss Chu, please step aside. I know I'm no match for this bumpkin, but since he dared insult you, even if I'm beaten down today I'll make him pay the price."
"..."
Chu Qingqiu's delicate brows furrowed tightly, looking at him like he was a jumping clown. "Do you even know how to write the word 'death'?"
Yang Hao was confused. "Miss Chu, what do you mean?"
Chu Qingqiu shook her head speechlessly, too lazy to bother with Yang Hao. She hurried to say to Qin Xuan: "Sorry about that, Qin. I'm not familiar with him, I've only seen him once before. I don't know why he's here acting like a mad dog biting people."
"!!!"
Yang Hao's eyes instantly widened in shock as he cried out, "Miss Chu, this country bumpkin is..."
Slap!
Chu Qingqiu finally couldn't stand it anymore and fiercely slapped Yang Hao across the face. "Even my grandfather has to treat him with the utmost respect, who the hell do you think you are?!"

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it.
