Ye Qingwan had guessed that Chen Wang was someone with a considerable background, but she didn’t expect him to be a disciple of the Sovereign Master, the strongest figure in Shen Zhou.
In all of Shen Zhou, who would dare not to give face to the Sovereign Master?
Even the top-tier wealthy families in Yandu wouldn’t dare!
Chen Baiqiang glared at Ye Qingwan and asked loudly, "Ye Qingwan, do you still dare to go to war with the Chen Family for the sake of that boy?"
Ye Qingwan did not speak, her face had turned extremely unsightly.
Chen Wang sneered, "Even if she wants to, the headquarters of the Black Dragon Commerce Association behind her wouldn’t agree."
Powerful as the Black Dragon Commerce Association was, it wouldn’t dare to offend the Sovereign Master.
"Who would have thought that Young Master Chen is actually a disciple of the Sovereign Master, Patriarch Chen, congratulations!"
"Patriarch Chen, from today onwards, if anyone dares to declare war on the Chen Family, then our Qi Family will declare war on them!"
"Patriarch Chen, our Wan Family, too, is willing to follow the Chen Family. Whoever dares to cross the Chen Family is crossing us, the Wan Family!"
...
In an instant, one wealthy family after another made statements, fearing that they would miss the chance to align themselves with the Chen Family if they were too late.
"Hahaha, good! I, Chen Baiqiang, once again thank you all!" said Chen Baiqiang, his face full of triumph as he bowed to the powerful family leaders.
In Shen Zhou, anyone with even the slightest connection to the Sovereign Master would soar to great heights, not to mention Chen Wang was the sixth disciple of the Sovereign Master.
And Lei Ting was about to take over as the Deputy Commander of the East Sea Battle Domain and was Chen Wang’s senior fellow disciple. It could be said that in the future, in East Sea Province, the Chen Family would be revered!
Upon learning Chen Wang’s identity, Xiao Mengyi’s face turned pale. She deeply regretted involving Qin Chuan.
Now, because of her, Qin Chuan had offended the Chen Family. How could the Chen Family possibly let Qin Chuan go?
Seemingly sensing Xiao Mengyi’s emotions, Qin Chuan gently squeezed her hand he was holding, and guided Qingxuan Spirit Qi into her body, which stabilized her emotions.
She suddenly looked at Qin Chuan, who also turned to her, revealing a tender smile, "Don’t worry, I’ve got this!"
His smile made Xiao Mengyi feel as if she were basking in the warmth of spring, and her fear instantly dissipated.
Xiao Mengyi gripped Qin Chuan’s hand tightly and said with a soft gaze, "In this life, alive I am yours, and dead I’ll be your ghost."
Seeing her earnestness, Qin Chuan felt deeply moved.
He was unsure what his feelings for Xiao Mengyi were, but he was certain that, at this moment, he wanted to protect this woman for a lifetime.
Chen Wang said angrily, "On the brink of death, and they still dare to flaunt their love!"
Seated at the back table, Xiao Tianquan and Xiao Qing both had looks of horror on their faces.
Xiao Qing stood up abruptly, yelling furiously, "Xiao Mengyi, you slut, you promised to marry into the Chen Family! Are you not betraying the Xiao Family by doing this?"
Xiao Tianquan also shouted in anger, "Xiao Mengyi, I command you to kneel and apologize to Second Young Master Chen immediately and seek his forgiveness, or I will expel you from the Xiao Family right this moment!"
Suddenly, everyone’s eyes were on Xiao Mengyi.
Tears instantly streamed down Xiao Mengyi’s face; these were the family members she had lived with for over twenty years, only thinking of using her to exchange for their own benefits.
A fierce killing intent flashed across Qin Chuan’s eyes. Xiao Tianquan and Xiao Qing’s words had crossed his bottom line.
Others watched Xiao Mengyi with great interest, to them, she was a fool. How many wealthy families wanted to marry their daughters into the Chen Family? And yet she was unwilling.
"You slut, kneel down and apologize right now!"
Seeing that Xiao Mengyi had not yet moved, Xiao Qing roared angrily again.
Qin Chuan’s gaze turned icy as he stared at Xiao Qing and said, "If you dare to insult her one more word, I’ll tear your mouth apart!"
"You..."
Xiao Qing was about to retaliate, but when she met Qin Chuan’s murderous gaze, she shivered involuntarily and immediately shut her mouth.
Xiao Tianquan shouted angrily, "You little beast, do you still dare to make a move in front of the head of the Chen Family?"
The expression on Qin Chuan’s face became completely somber; the people of the Xiao Family had exhausted his last bit of patience.
"Old fool, you’re courting death!"
Ye Qingwan shouted angrily, giving a direct order, "For disrespecting Mr. Qin, slap his face!"
"Slap!"
A crisp slap echoed throughout the entire banquet hall, and Xiao Tianquan’s body was sent flying through the air, a swollen handprint clear on his face.
And standing right where he had been was Granny Wu.
Nobody had expected that Ye Qingwan would still dare to have someone lay a hand on him. Although she had ordered the strike on Xiao Tianquan, it also made her stance clear.
Chen Baiqiang’s eyes flickered with a cold light as he stared at Ye Qingwan and asked, "President Ye, are you planning to continue protecting that boy?"
Ye Qingwan said coldly, "It’s the same as before, as long as the Chen Family dares to lay a hand on Mr. Qin, the Black Dragon Commerce Association dares to declare war!"
Chen Baiqiang’s gaze grew even darker, "Are you sure?"
Ye Qingwan replied without hesitation, "Very sure!"
Within the vast banquet hall, a silence prevailed.
They had always overlooked Qin Chuan, but now, they began to take notice of him.
What kind of background did this young man have?
The Chen Family had already formed ties with the Sovereign Master, yet Ye Qingwan was still willing to confront the Chen Family head-on for Qin Chuan’s sake.
The key point was, Ye Qingwan’s way of addressing Qin Chuan had always been respectful, which was very telling.
Chen Baiqiang looked extremely displeased; he was not afraid of the Black Dragon Commerce Association in the East Sea, but he was wary of the main headquarters of the Black Dragon Commerce Association in Yandu.
Even if Chen Wang was a disciple of the Sovereign Master, if the Chen Family was targeted by the main headquarters of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, would the Sovereign Master lend a hand?
To become the head of the Chen Family, he had to be shrewd, and in fact, he was very intelligent.
While the Chen Family could rise quickly using the relationship with the Sovereign Master, had the Sovereign Master agreed to it?
It could be said that everything was just wishful thinking on the part of the Chen Family.
The relationship between the Chen Family and the Sovereign Master was solely because Chen Wang was the disciple of the Sovereign Master, nothing more.
What kind of person was the Sovereign Master?
How could he possibly allow others to take advantage of his name so lightly?
"Kid, do you only know how to hide behind a woman?"
Thinking this, Chen Baiqiang suddenly shouted loudly, his face filled with anger as he said, "It has come to this point, do you still intend to keep hiding?"
"Do you know how much trouble it will bring President Ye to declare war on the Chen Family on your behalf? Are you just going to watch her get dragged into this because of you?"
Ye Qingwan quickly spoke up, "Mr. Qin, don’t listen to him, he’s intentionally..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Chuan interrupted her, "I know!"
Then, under everyone’s gaze, he took a step forward and said to Ye Qingwan behind him, "I will handle the matters that follow myself. No matter what happens, the Black Dragon Commerce Association is not to intervene!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room was shocked!
Had this young man gone mad?
He was actually voluntarily giving up the protection of Ye Qingwan.
However, what surprised everyone even more was that Ye Qingwan, after a brief moment of astonishment, issued an order, "Everyone, step back ten paces!"
Qin Chuan looked calmly at Chen Baiqiang and said, "Now, I’m going to take her and leave. Whatever measures you have, just bring it on! I guarantee the Black Dragon Commerce Association will not interfere."
After speaking, he indeed took Xiao Mengyi by the hand and headed towards the grand doors of the banquet hall.
