Chapter 51 – I refuse to be nice in front of you, so what?
By staring at this weedy-looking teenager, a surge of complicated feelings came over Wuhen.
Several months ago, when they had met for the first time on Cattle-fence Street, this teenager had acted like a roaring lion, and tried to end his life by one chop. Eventually, he had effortlessly thrown this teenager away, simply by the force of his palm.
However, he didn’t know anything about this hatred-filled, incompetent teenager, until Elder Mo did his investigation, and found that this teenager was named Ye Qinghan, the son of Ye Dao, and was regarded as a piece of garbage in cultivation.
Therefore, Wuhen had never paid much attention to Qinghan, because in his opinion, Qinghan had failed to inherit anything but the stubborn temperament of his father. In the Flame Dragon Continent, cultivation was regarded as the bases to build up one’s power and status, without which, even the lineal descendents from the five most prominent families would be deprived of their privileges as young lords. As a lineal descendent of the Xue Family, Wuhen knew all too well what would happen once a young lord showed no talent in cultivation.
That was why, as soon as Wuhen was notified that Qingyu had rejected his proposal, he had immediately dispatched Xue Yi and his four brothers to capture or kill Qinghan. He was confident, that the Ye Family wouldn’t antagonize the Xue Family simply because of a piece of garbage in the family.
Later, news came from Wild City, that Xue Yi and his four brothers had all been killed by Qinghan. Only then, did Wuhen start to look at Qinghan with new eyes. So, he had urged Qingkuang to advance their plan and kidnap Qingyu, before Qinghan returned to the Ye Family. To his surprise, however, their secret plan had turned out to be a failure, and Qingkuang had even lost all his cultivation.
Although, as an outsider, Wuhen didn’t know the details of what had happened that day, he did know that Ye Ron was killed, Ye Jian was imprisoned, and Qingkuang was ruined in cultivation. Meanwhile, the once undervalued young lord, Qinghan, was given the highest of expectations by the Ye Family.
Actually, as a young leader, Wuhen believed that his family would spare him over what he had done to Qingyu. Also, the Xue Family would certainly help him resolve the possible hostility between the two families. He had nothing to worry about.
Nevertheless, the moment he met Qinghan’s eyes, which were filled with a murderous cold light, he realized that even if the Ye Family would be lenient to him, Qinghan wouldn’t!
Being terrified by the hearsays that Qinghan’s cultivation had risen up like a rocket, Wuhen had prepared on what to say and do in front of Qinghan. However, he never thought they would meet so soon. He hadn’t come up with any words yet, as his pride was suddenly diminished in front of Qinghan’s revengeful glow.
“Young lord, this is the Yue Attic.” Shisan was puzzled by Qinghan’s sudden change, as his only impression of Qinghan was that of a shy, approachable young leader. But right now, Qinghan behaved presumptuous and ruthless towards Wuhen, the young leader of the Xue Family. Realizing Qinghan might’ve some impulsive actions, Shisan quickly tossed his head to Qinghan and whispered in his ear.
“I know this is the Yue Attic, that’s why… I refrained myself from attacking that bastard.” Qinghan replied in a cold, sharp voice, which stunned the nearby people.
Inside the attic, around seven people were sitting there drinking tea. Only those who were considered as the most valued guests would be invited into the Four Square Attic. Obviously, only a handful of people would be able to be listed by the Yue Family as the most valued guests.
Wuhen, the young leader of the Xue Family, also known as the teenage elite, after he was ranked the tenth on the Mortal Ranking list, was surely qualified to enter this attic. Before Qinghan had stepped into this room, they were leisurely chatting with each other, while enjoying a cup of tea; however, the amicable atmosphere was immediately ruined by Qinghan’s murderous stare and overbearing remarks.
“What? Is he going to attack Wuhen?”
“Oh, he’s so obnoxiously presumptuous!”
The people inside the room began to complain over Qinghan’s presumptuous manner. One of the younger ones, who sat on the left corner, stood up, attempting to defend Wuhen. This young man was pale-faced, with curly hair combed behind his head, which rendered a touch of evil shrewdness. He stepped forward, looked Qinghan up and down, speaking out arrogantly, “Yue Niang, where did this rude child come from? Why is he behaving so uneducated?”
“Young lord Long Shuiliu, this is the young lord from the Ye Family. Ye Qinghan, for my sake, would you please come in and take a seat?” Yue Niang stood smiling between the curly-haired young man and Qinghan, trying to calm both of them down.
“Yes, I won’t fight with Wuhen in your place.” Qinghan replied indifferently, and strode into the room directly in the direction of Wuhen. Under all the people’s gazes, Qinghan suddenly showed an exaggerated smile, until his eyes were narrowed into two slits, “Xue Wuhen… young leader Wuhen! Good to meet you here… Xue Yi told me to pass on some words to you, he said, if you have time, please go and have a reunion with them!”
