Chapter 11

"Wait for me here for a moment." Chu Yan instructed, and after Liu Qingcheng nodded lightly, he walked out of the tavern first, taking down all the Qin family guards one by one.

After dealing with these troubles, Chu Yan clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Wife, come out."

Liu Qingcheng walked out of the tavern. When she saw the seven or eight Qin family disciples lying on the ground outside, her brows furrowed tightly. This time, Qin Feng had really gone to great lengths. If it weren't for Chu Yan, she definitely wouldn't have escaped.

But thinking about Qin Feng's death, Liu Qingcheng's brows furrowed even more tightly. She looked at Chu Yan with some concern: "This time you killed Qin Feng, the Qin family won't let you off. You should go back with me to see my father. This matter must be told to him, hoping he can震慑 the Qin family."

Chu Yan smiled at Liu Qingcheng's words. This little girl was starting to worry about him. Yes, good, she was making progress.

However, he smiled without taking it to heart: "Don't worry, there won't be any trouble. I'll send you back to the Liu family first. Don't tell Uncle Liu about this. The Liu family's status is not as high as the Qin family now. If Uncle Liu intervenes, it will be futile and will only add to his worries."

"What about you?"

"Don't worry, since I can protect the Liu family from being destroyed for eighteen years, I can make the Qin family disappear overnight." A cold look suddenly flashed in Chu Yan's eyes. Qin family, this time you really have provoked me.

Liu Qingcheng looked at Chu Yan with doubt. But thinking about Chu Yan's ability to protect the Liu family for eighteen years, he must have some powerful backing, right? The Qin family shouldn't be able to do much to him, right?

"Don't go too far, if you push the Qin family to the brink, they might act rashly."

"Don't worry!"

Liu Qingcheng didn't continue to doubt and followed Chu Yan back to the Liu residence.

On the way, Chu Yan suddenly looked at Liu Qingcheng with a lecherous gaze: "Wife!"

"What is it?"

Liu Qingcheng naturally responded, but then she noticed Chu Yan's smile becoming even more intense, making her realize what was happening and look at him with annoyance.

She didn't know why she had agreed to this scoundrel. It must be because she was shocked, yes, that must be it, otherwise why would she let this scoundrel off so easily!

But she didn't realize that, over time, her deep-seated aversion to Chu Yan had gradually faded, and a hint of curiosity had emerged. She didn't know that falling in love often starts with curiosity.

Chu Yan smiled smugly. Unconsciously, the two had already returned to the Liu residence. Because of Chu Yan's hasty departure earlier, Bao'er and Zhao Wu, Zhao Liù had been anxiously waiting outside the residence.

"Do you think the young master will be in trouble?"

Bao'er had been an orphan since childhood and rarely received affection. But since Chu Yan appeared, he had always been good to her, making her strongly dependent on him.

Now that Chu Yan was late in returning, her heart was extremely anxious.

At this moment, the three of them saw Chu Yan and Liu Qingcheng return and hurriedly went to greet them.

"Young master!"

Bao'er's eyes turned red. Chu Yan smiled: "What's the matter? I'm not dead, no need to cry."

"I thought the young master... I thought the young master wouldn't come back." Bao'er said with a grievance.

"Ha, with such a beautiful Bao'er at home, how could I not come back?"

Chu Yan didn't care about Liu Qingcheng standing nearby and gently rubbed Bao'er's head. Then he stood up and said to Bao'er: "Bao'er, take Qingcheng back first."

"Master, aren't you going back?" Bao'er said, rubbing her eyes.

Liu Qingcheng also looked at Chu Yan with confusion. The news of Qin Feng's death would soon spread throughout Tianyong City. Once the Qin family found out, Chu Yan would be in danger. So she didn't want Chu Yan to stay outside alone.

"I still have some things to do. Wife, make sure you look beautiful. The day after tomorrow is our wedding day."

Seeing Chu Yan's determination, Liu Qingcheng's brows furrowed, but then relaxed: "Be careful."

"Of course, I'm about to be a groom, I can't afford to die now." Chu Yan smiled, and then Liu Qingcheng, supported by Bao'er, returned to the Liu residence.

After Liu Qingcheng left, a cunning look flashed in Chu Yan's eyes, revealing a coldness.

"Have you found out anything about what I asked you to investigate?"

"Master, we followed your instructions and compared the letter with all the records of the Liu residence, and found a suspicious target."

"Who?"

"Ye Xun from the Ye family!"

"Ye family? A descendant of Ye Changqing?"

A cold light flashed in Chu Yan's eyes, and he looked at Zhao Wu and Zhao Liù: "Do you two want to see something big?"

Zhao Wu and Zhao Liù were excited. Although they didn't know what Chu Yan was going to do, after the last time they followed him to force back Qin Feng, they had become addicted to the feeling of showing off.

"Yes!"

"Then follow me!"

Chu Yan turned and left the Qin residence again, with Zhao Wu and Zhao Liù following behind. They looked quite imposing, attracting many gazes from the people of Tianyong City.

"Wow, look, that's the new son-in-law of the Liu family, right?"

"Tsk, what's so surprising? He's just a waste."

"He's not a waste. Haven't you heard? Yesterday he forced back the third young master of the Qin family. Anyway, I'm infatuated with him. When the Liu family recruits servants next year, I'll go and try to get close to him."

"Look at you, such a fangirl!"

Various comments continued, but Chu Yan didn't care at all, his mind as calm as water. He and Zhao Wu, Zhao Liù walked through several alleys.

Before long, Chu Yan and the two had arrived at the Qin residence. Zhao Wu and Zhao Liù looked puzzled.

"Master, why are we at the Qin residence? Shouldn't we go to the Ye family?"

"The Ye family can wait, let's start with the Qin family."

A cold look flashed in Chu Yan's eyes, and he immediately strode toward the main gate of the Qin residence.

The Qin family was one of the three major families in Tianyong City. In some respects, the Qin family was even superior to the Liu family. The courtyard was bustling, and there were two rows of guards.

The guards immediately blocked Chu Yan: "Who are you? How dare you intrude on the Qin residence?"

Blocked by the guards, Zhao Wu and Zhao Liù sneered: "Open your eyes, this is the new son-in-law of the Liu family. Quickly get your old master to come out and welcome him!"

At first, the two guards were hesitant, but when they heard it was the son-in-law of the Liu family, they sneered: "Ha, I thought who it was. Just a waste from the Liu family. Do you think you're worthy of our master coming out to welcome you?"

Seeing the guards still blocking them, Zhao Wu and Zhao Liù's faces turned dark. But just then, Chu Yan said calmly: "Sigh, it seems you two still haven't learned the essence of what I taught you."

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

As soon as Chu Yan finished speaking, he turned and slapped the guards. The two Qin family guards didn't even have time to react and were sent flying, blood streaming from their mouths.

Zhao Wu and Zhao Liù were stunned. They never thought Chu Yan would act so directly. To them, the Qin family was one of the three major families, with a status even higher than the Liu family. Following Chu Yan to show off was one thing, but actually fighting was something they never dared to think about.

But Chu Yan acted as if it was a trivial matter. After sending the two guards flying, he clapped his hands and looked at Zhao Wu and Zhao Liù: "Remember, when dealing with people who can understand, talk to them. When dealing with those who can't, just slap them away."

"..."

Zhao Wu and Zhao Liù's mouths twitched. At that moment, they suddenly remembered how they had blocked Chu Yan's path when he first came to the Liu family, and their faces felt a burning pain.

"You dare to hit me!" The Qin family disciples were enraged.

"Slap!"

But Chu Yan didn't give them a chance to speak. He raised his hand and slapped again.

"How dare you cause trouble in the Qin family!"

At that moment, a steward from the Qin family courtyard leaped out. Seeing the guards on the ground, his old face turned grim.

"Slap!"

However, Chu Yan didn't even look at him. He raised his hand and slapped again: "Your status is too low. Send someone more important to talk!"

Chu Yan's direct action upon arriving at the Qin residence quickly alarmed the entire family. Many passersby outside the Qin residence stopped to look inside, but when they saw Chu Yan's fierce appearance, they all shrank back, especially those who had just mocked him as a waste.

"Elder Xuan! Save me!"

The steward on the ground couldn't help but cry out.

At that moment, Qin Xuan finally came out, his face hard. He had been there all along, and it was he who had sent the steward out. He had planned to let the steward teach Chu Yan a lesson first, and then come out to smooth things over. He thought Chu Yan wouldn't go too far, after all, this was Changlong Kingdom, and there were still laws to follow.

But unfortunately, the steward was no match for Chu Yan and was beaten to the ground.

"Master Chu?" Qin Xuan laughed dryly and immediately glared at the steward and the guards: "What are you doing? Don't you know who Master Chu is? How dare you lay a hand on him!"

The old steward was in a bitter state but didn't dare to say more. He knelt on the ground: "Elder Xuan, I was wrong. I didn't know it was Master Chu, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to lay a hand on him!"

"Get out of here!" Qin Xuan roared, then smiled at Chu Yan: "Ha, Master Chu, I'm really sorry about this."

"Qin Xuan, don't pretend with me. Weren't you here all along? Didn't you send that old man to teach me a lesson?" Chu Yan sneered.

Qin Xuan frowned. He couldn't understand how Chu Yan had guessed. He was at the Dust Concealment Realm and could fully conceal his aura, making it impossible for even Liu Tianfeng to detect him. But no matter what, he wouldn't admit it: "Ha, Master Chu, what are you talking about? Why would I send someone to teach you a lesson?"

But the next moment, Chu Yan raised his head, his eyes seeming to burn with a hint of fire as he stared intently at Qin Xuan.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Send your master out. You can't handle what comes next!"
