Dismissed?
Qin Ning shook his head and smiled, saying, "Take me to see!"
"Brother Ning, now you..."
Qin Xin Xin hadn't finished speaking when Qin Ning already walked out the door.
Seeing the coffin in the courtyard, his eyebrows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Lift it, and follow me!"
Qin Xin Xin couldn't guess why Qin Ning wanted them to carry the coffin.
Along the way, Qin Xin Xin tried his best to persuade Qin Ning.
"Brother Ning, you've just survived a great calamity, you should rest first. The five elders can't make things difficult for the clan leader. After all, the clan leader's cultivation is the highest!"
"Brother Ning, if you go there, you'll only cause trouble for the clan leader..."
"Brother Ning..."
But no matter what Qin Xin Xin said, Qin Ning continued towards the main council hall.
As they reached the main road in front of the courtyard, someone sobbing suddenly bumped into Qin Ning's arms.
"Sister Xin Yue!"
"Big Sister!"
He saw a slender figure in an emerald-green long dress, with a delicate and beautiful face, like a lotus flower. But now, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, making people feel pity.
That was Qin Xin Yue.
Qin Xin Yue was the daughter of Qin Ning's second uncle, Qin Yuan Shan, and also Qin Xin Xin's eldest sister.
Since childhood, the three of them had a very good relationship, often getting into trouble and making noise together.
"Sister, what's wrong? Who bullied you? I'll help you skin him alive!" Qin Xin Xin suddenly said fiercely.
"Who else could it be!"
Just then, a seemingly delicate middle-aged woman appeared before the three of them.
"Second Aunt!"
"Mother!"
Seeing the newcomer, Qin Xin Xin shrank his neck, while Qin Ning calmly cupped his hands in greeting.
In the past, although Qin Ning was a genius, he still held a certain respect for his second aunt's elder's authority.
But now, after integrating the memories of his nine lives, his way of dealing with people and his state of mind were no longer the same.
The delicate middle-aged woman, whose face was heavily made up with lipstick and powder, frowned at Qin Ning's calm demeanor.
"Isn't it all because of you!"
The middle-aged woman looked at Qin Ning and said, "It's bad enough that you insulted Ling Fei Fei and got your own Star Gate crippled. Now the Ling family even wants our Qin family to compensate for Ling Fei Fei's damaged reputation, and the Chu family has severed ties with the Qin family!"
"Not only that, but now you've implicated Xin Yue, and the Shen family has broken off the engagement!"
Broken off the engagement?
Qin Ning frowned, deep in thought.
Qin Xin Xin suddenly cursed loudly, "That cowardly turtle Shen Yuan! His Shen family is just a second-rate clan in Lingyun City. If it weren't for our Qin family, the Shen family would have been finished long ago. My sister lowered herself to marry him, and he still dares to break off the engagement?"
"Initially, the Shen family's clan leader, that old fox Shen Cheng Feng, begged and pleaded for this marriage, and only then did the clan leader and father agree. Now he's kicking us when we're down! I'm going to go teach him a lesson!"
"Huh, who wants to teach me a lesson?"
Just then, a voice rang out from behind them.
Several people approached, led by a young man holding a feather fan. He was tall and straight, with a dignified bearing, and a smug smile on his face.
"Shen Yuan!"
Seeing this person, Qin Xinxin immediately flared up and rushed forward.
"Qin Xinxin, I don't want to hit you, don't ask for a beating!"
Shen Yuan snorted, not looking at Qin Xinxin, but at Qin Ning instead.
"Qin Ning, so you're not dead after all? Is this coffin meant for you to prove your innocence by dying?"
"Shen Yuan!"
Qin Xinyue immediately pulled Qin Ning behind her, stepped forward, and said loudly, “Ning’s business has nothing to do with you. Since your Shen family broke off the engagement, you no longer have any ties to the Qin family. Get out, right now!”
“Xinyue, why so angry?” Shen Yuan chuckled mockingly. “Your idiotic brother Ning didn’t know how to cherish Chu Ningxi, and then maliciously caused trouble for Ling Feifei. He really doesn’t know what’s good for him, serves him right!”
Shen Yuan suddenly blocked Qin Ning’s path and sneered, “Young Master Qin Ning, how does it feel to have your Star Gate crippled?”
In the past, Qin Ning was the Qin family’s number one genius youth. He had opened his Star Gate, and his future was brilliant.
Now that his Star Gate was crippled, he was a useless person. Shen Yuan no longer needed to fear Qin Ning. He even felt disgusted thinking about how he used to fawn over Qin Ning, so today, he absolutely had to get everything back.
“A good dog doesn’t block the way; if it blocks the way, it’s a bad dog!”
Qin Ning looked at Shen Yuan before him as if he were looking at a three-year-old child, and spoke.
“You…”
Shen Yuan snorted. “Do you think you’re still a favored son of heaven? Qin Ning, you’re nothing now. You want to pass through here today? Fine!”
“Crawl through my crotch!”
Qin Xinxin flared up in anger and shouted, “Shen Yuan! Don’t go too far, this is the Qin family!”
“So what if it’s the Qin family? The Ling family and the Chu family have joined forces, and our Shen family is also participating. Your Qin family is about to be finished!” Shen Yuan laughed heartily, looking at Qin Ning and the others with an arrogant expression.
Now, Qin Ning’s Star Gate had been crippled, making him useless. Meanwhile, Shen Yuan was already a martial artist at the third stage of the Life Gate Realm.
Today, if Qin Ning was unwilling, Shen Yuan wouldn’t mind teaching him a lesson before leaving the Qin manor.
After all, this guy only had a few more days to live anyway.
“What if I don’t crawl?”
“Don’t crawl? Then die!”
Shen Yuan emphasized, “Either crawl through, or die. You choose!”
Hearing this, Qin Ning shook his head. “As I see it, there’s still a third option!”
“Huh?”
“That is, you die!”
As soon as Qin Ning’s words fell, he took a stride forward and directly threw a punch.
*Thwack…*
This punch was too fast and powerful to guard against. What’s more, Qin Ning had now recovered to the fourth stage of the Injury Gate Realm.
The first three stages relied on spiritual energy to impact the acupoints of the hands, arms, and legs, condensing spiritual vortexes to open the gates to those three realms.
Reaching the fourth stage of the Injury Gate Realm meant using spiritual energy to open the five internal organs, condensing and tempering them to be as hard as steel.
Qin Ning’s punch could be said to carry the strength of his four limbs and all his internal organs, a full 40 horsepower.
Shen Yuan, being only at the third stage of the Life Gate Realm, how could he withstand it?
*Thump…*
The punch landed squarely on Shen Yuan’s chest. In an instant, Shen Yuan only felt the world grow dark, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
“My Qin family’s descendants do not suffer the humiliation of a broken engagement. And my brother Qin Ning’s older sister is not one to have an engagement broken, but only… to mourn her husband!”
*Crack…*
Another thump sounded, and Shen Yuan’s body fell backward to the ground, lifeless.
Qin Ning clapped his hands. He looked at the servants carrying a coffin behind him and said casually, “Put Young Master Shen Yuan’s corpse into the coffin and send it to the Shen family!”
“Also, tell Shen Chengfeng that the Qin family’s sons and daughters do not have the custom of broken engagements!”
At this moment, Qin Xinyue and Qin Xinxin, who were standing nearby, were completely dumbfounded.
