Qi Wu’an was seething with rage. This Director Lin was simply an idiot; couldn’t he see the situation at hand?
"Shut up!" Qi Wu’an slapped Director Lin across the face and bellowed, "What do you know? Get out of my sight!" The source of thɪs content is novel{f}ire.net
Director Lin was stunned, completely unable to comprehend why Qi Wu’an would strike him for the sake of an outsider!
The noisy onlookers nearby immediately fell silent; they didn’t know what had happened, but if Qi Wu’an would even hit his own cousin, what chance did they have?
Zhang Aiqin was also dumbfounded, as she had been the loudest critic just a moment ago, and now she was the most embarrassed.
Qi Wu’an ignored these people, squeezing out an awkward smile and said in a low voice, "Master Su, they’re blind to a true giant. Please don’t take it to heart. Since you have obtained the Shen Wang Order, my Qi family has nothing to say. I’ll take my leave with my people to Lake Heart Island!"
Just as Qi Wu’an was about to turn away, Su Yang spoke languidly, "Did I say you could leave?"
Qi Wu’an’s face turned livid with anger, veins throbbing, but in the end, he dared not say a word and obediently turned back, whispering, "Is there anything else that displeases you, Master Su? Just let me know, and I will handle it without fault!"
"There are plenty of things that I’m dissatisfied with!" Su Yang drawled.
A glint of sharpness flashed through Qi Wu’an’s eyes as he suddenly pointed at Director Lin and ordered, "Someone, break his damned legs as an apology to Master Su!"
The crowd was taken aback. What on earth was happening? It was one thing for Qi Wu’an to be polite to Su Yang, but to break his cousin’s legs as an apology? Had he lost his mind?
The Qi Family of Wanhu was famously protective of their own, so what was Qi Wu’an really trying to do?
The thought terrified Director Lin, turning his complexion deathly pale as he pleaded urgently, "Cousin, cousin, what....what’s really going on..."
However, Qi Wu’an paid him no heed; the astonishing blow that Su Yang had dealt at Lake Heart Island was still vivid in his memory.
With one strike, over a dozen experts at the Integration Realm from the Qi Family of Lake Heart Island fell to Su Yang’s sword!
After Su Yang had departed, the members of the Qi family hastily convened a meeting; the only conclusion they could reach was to swallow their pride, for the time being.
With Ye Jiansheng and Lian Wanxiong backing him, and the Law Enforcers watching, what purpose did the Six Terrestrial Immortals of the Qi Family serve? They couldn’t make a move either.
And among those beneath the Qi Family Terran Immortals, it seemed only Qi Zhishan, who could withstand attacks from Earth Immortals, might be capable of defeating Su Yang.
But the thing was, after having a conversation with Su Yang, Qi Zhishan had simply run away. The Qi family sent people to find him but could find no trace, casting an even darker shadow over the family.
So now, upon seeing Su Yang, Qi Wu’an could only rein in his former dominance. He had been truly frightened by Su Yang.
Qi Wu’an could only vow inwardly to take revenge; the moment Su Yang entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Qi Family Terran Immortals would join forces and strike to kill Su Yang for sure!
For now, however, they could only endure.
A few from the Qi family charged forward, holding Director Lin down without hesitation. Director Lin howled in agony, struggling in vain.
As they were about to break his legs, Su Yang spoke up, "Leave this man to me; I’ll handle him. Qi Wu’an, you better sort out your own issues first!"
White-faced, Qi Wu’an whispered, "Master Su, what...what problems do I have?"
"I just said..." Su Yang chuckled, "If you kneel down and apologize to Elder Shen, I can spare your life!"
Qi Wu’an’s expression changed drastically. To kneel and beg for mercy—wasn’t that the same as asking for his life?
"Master Su..." Shen Jing’an’s complexion also turned anxious. He didn’t know what the relationship between Su Yang and the Qi Family of Wanhu was. But to really force Qi Wu’an to kneel, he didn’t dare to, for that would be making a mortal enemy of the Qi Family of Wanhu!
"You don’t need to speak!" Su Yang interrupted Shen Jing’an directly, "I know what I’m doing!"
Shen Jing’an looked at Su Yang, then at Qi Wu’an, and ultimately did not dare to say anything more.
Qi Wu’an, pale-faced, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Su, I came here for the sake of my family’s affairs. To make me kneel and apologize is to make the entire Qi Family kneel and apologize. I can’t do that!"
Su Yang smiled, "You can’t do it? Then you can die."
As he spoke, Su Yang took a step forward without waiting for Qi Wu’an to react. Before all eyes, he crossed the distance to Qi Wu’an with one step.
With a reach of his hand, he aimed straight for Qi Wu’an’s forehead!
Qi Wu’an’s expression turned desperate; he knew the power of Su Yang. If this finger strike hit, he would undoubtedly die!
Without any hesitation, Qi Wu’an quickly backed away. But Su Yang was much faster than him, and this finger strike chased him like a persistent maggot, leaving him no chance to evade.
Qi Wu’an tried to counterattack several times in an attempt to push back Su Yang, but his attacks were futile before Su Yang. That finger remained incessantly close to his forehead!
In the end, with nowhere to retreat, Qi Wu’an was cornered by Su Yang. Despairing, he simply closed his eyes and awaited death.
Just then, a light flashed swiftly, sweeping up Qi Wu’an and rescuing him from Su Yang’s lethal strike.
Following that, an elderly man with a long beard appeared in the hall, standing beside Qi Wu’an, though no one knew when he had arrived.
The long-bearded elder was none other than the Fifth Ancestor of the Qi Family of Wanhu, who had met Su Yang on Lake Heart Island earlier that day. He frowned deeply and said in a heavy voice, "Master Su, must you be so utterly ruthless?"
"That question should be asked to your Qi Family, shouldn’t it?" Su Yang replied, "I already knew that the Qi Family of Wanhu behaves arrogantly, but I didn’t expect an in-law like you to be so imperious. All I did was come to Wanhu Manor for a meal, and your Qi Family came storming in to kill me? Is the Qi Family really so lawless in its actions?"
The Fifth Ancestor’s face showed embarrassment as he said, "We were unaware that it was Master Su dining here. Where we have offended, I here offer an apology to Master Su."
The crowd was abuzz, and though they did not recognize the Fifth Ancestor, they could all tell that his status was unquestionably above Qi Wu’an’s.
Even the Fifth Ancestor was personally apologizing—what kind of heaven-defying status did Su Yang have?
"Not sure if there’s any sincerity in the Fifth Ancestor’s words!" Su Yang said slowly.
"When I speak, I never lie!" the Fifth Ancestor declared loudly.
"In that case, I will accept your apology," Su Yang paused, then continued, "However, I would still like the Qi Family to give me an assurance."
"What assurance?" the Fifth Ancestor frowned, truly unable to comprehend what Su Yang wanted.
"It’s simple. I hope that the Qi Family of Wanhu will no longer interfere in the affairs of other families in the Southern Six Provinces," Su Yang said coldly, "Just mind your own business. There’s no need to meddle in so many matters!"
