28: Chapter 28: Exposing one's true nature

When Jiang Kun heard the voice, his eyes immediately lit up, and he looked into the Huo Family residence, where Fire Qingrou was quickly running towards them.

Fire Qingrou came before Fire Ru Lie, staring fiercely at Jiang Kun, and said coldly, "Jiang Kun, what do you mean?"

"Stop!" Jiang Kun raised a hand, signaling everyone to stop, and he looked at Fire Qingrou, smiling, "Xiao Rou, you're here."

"Hmph, Jiang Kun, from now on, please call me Fire Qingrou. We're not that familiar." Fire Qingrou snorted, "Don't think I don't know what you've been up to."

Jiang Kun's expression became a little ugly, but he quickly recovered. Could it be that Fire Qingrou discovered that he had sent people to follow her?

He cast his gaze towards Ye Yuanlin, with a questioning look.

Ye Yuanlin shook his head, indicating that he also didn't know.

In fact, Jiang Kun had only asked Ye Yuanlin to send people to follow Fire Qingrou, and Ye Yuanlin, in order to curry favor with Jiang Kun, had given Ye Yuanshan the order that if the timing was right, he should directly abduct Fire Qingrou and hand her over to Jiang Kun.

It was just that he was also very surprised; Ye Yuanshan contacted him every day, except for today. He planned to contact Ye Yuanshan after this matter was resolved to ask what was going on.

"Xiao Rou, didn't I tell you not to come out?" Fire Ru Lie pulled Fire Qingrou behind him, scolding her.

"Grandpa, Jiang Kun is here for me. I can't hide behind and let you all take risks." Fire Qingrou had a stubborn expression. She knew Fire Ru Lie's situation better than anyone, and she couldn't let her Grandpa get hurt again.

"Xiao Rou, I'm fine. As long as you don't agree, no one can take you away today." Fire Ru Lie gently stroked Fire Qingrou's head, dotingly.

In his lineage, only he and this granddaughter remained. Even if it cost him his old life, he would protect Fire Qingrou's safety.

Fire Qingrou nodded, deeply moved, but she also couldn't do nothing. She took two steps forward, looked at Jiang Kun, and said, "Jiang Kun, I can marry you, but only if you can defeat me. Otherwise, don't even think about it."

Jiang Kun's expression immediately became a little ugly. Although he was also a Genius in Qingyang County, compared to Fire Qingrou, he was truly nothing.

He was one or two years older than Fire Qingrou, but his strength was only at the Fusion Realm Middle Stage, two small Realms lower than Fire Qingrou.

Moreover, Fire Qingrou's strength was extremely powerful. Even a typical Yu Ling Realm Early Stage might not be her opponent. For him to fight Fire Qingrou was simply courting death.

"Xiao Rou, you must know that my sister has already married into the Tianjian Sect, and my brother-in-law is even a Core Disciple of the Tianjian Sect. I will also be going to the Tianjian Sect soon. My strength surpassing yours is only a matter of time. The reason I am so eager to marry you is that I want to take you to the Tianjian Sect with me." Jiang Kun slowly said, a hint of arrogance on his face when he spoke of his sister and brother-in-law.

"Hmph, since you can't beat me now, please leave immediately. Come back to talk when you can beat me." Fire Qingrou said with disdain on her face, continuing, "As for your talk of going to the Tianjian Sect, I have no interest whatsoever."

The arrogance on Jiang Kun's face immediately stiffened, then turned sinister.

In Qingyang County, any woman Jiang Kun wanted, none didn't obediently offer themselves to him, but with Fire Qingrou, he was met with a cold shoulder.

However, this only further ignited his desire to possess Fire Qingrou. Fire Qingrou was not only the Young Miss of the Huo Family, with powerful talent, but her beauty was also unparalleled.

Jiang Kun had madly pursued Fire Qingrou for two years, being rejected no less than 20 times, and even getting beaten several times.

Gradually, Jiang Kun had lost his patience. Now that his Jiang Family had risen, if Fire Qingrou still didn't agree to him, he didn't plan to waste any more time. This was also why he brought so many people to their door.

"Xiao Rou, whether you agree or not today, I will take you away. My Grandpa will come out of seclusion in three days, and then we will get married." Jiang Kun couldn't wait any longer; even if he had to use force, he would get Fire Qingrou.

"How dare you?" Fire Qingrou's beautiful eyes widened in anger, and she shouted, "If you dare to harm a single person of my Huo Family today, when my father returns, he will surely exterminate your entire family."

The expressions of the Jiang Family and Ye Family members changed simultaneously, then they seemed to recall something, and their tense expressions slowly relaxed.

"Xiao Rou, don't try to scare me. Your father is indeed very powerful, but how many years has he been missing? It's uncertain if he can even return. Perhaps he's already dead. Besides, even if he can return, so what? My Jiang Family now has the Tianjian Sect backing us." Jiang Kun said with a calm expression.

"You..." Fire Qingrou's chest heaved violently with anger, wishing she could immediately kill Jiang Kun.

"Xiao Rou, marry me, and we'll enter the Tianjian Sect together, becoming a pair of immortal companions. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Jiang Kun had a smile on his face. At this point, he no longer hid anything, brazenly appraising Fire Qingrou's curvy figure, his eyes filled with fervent desire.

In three more days, he would be able to taste the woman he had yearned for two years.

In fact, the reason Jiang Kun wanted to marry Fire Qingrou was entirely to prove himself, because everyone in Qingyang County knew he was pursuing Fire Qingrou.

Fire Qingrou felt Jiang Kun's evil gaze, her face incredibly pale, trembling with anger. If it weren't for the presence of the Jiang Family and Ye Family's powerhouses, she would have immediately drawn her sword and killed him.

"Xiao Rou, with Grandpa here, no one can bully you." Fire Ru Lie stepped forward to shield Fire Qingrou behind him, emitting a powerful Aura, and said coldly, "Although many people from your Jiang and Ye families have come this time, if anyone dares to touch a single hair on my granddaughter, even if I sacrifice my old life, I will drag a few down with me as a cushion."

The Jiang Family's Grand Elder hurriedly shielded Jiang Kun behind him, staring intently at Fire Ru Lie as if facing a formidable enemy.

The Ye Family members were also like this, their expressions solemn.

Before Jiang Honglin's Breakthrough to the Kai Shan Realm, Fire Ru Lie was undoubtedly the strongest among the three families, besides Fire Qingrou's father. This was because when Fire Ru Lie fought desperately, he could unleash terrifying combat power, and cultivators of the same Realm were simply not his opponents.

Although Fire Ru Lie was injured now, no one could guarantee what kind of combat power he could still display.

"Grandpa..." Fire Qingrou was so anxious she was almost crying.

"Xiao Rou, if Grandpa has to fight them later, find an opportunity to leave the Huo Family, leave Qingyang County, and never come back." Fire Ru Lie turned around and whispered in Fire Qingrou's ear.

"No, I'm not leaving." Fire Qingrou shook her head like a rattle, her eyes already brimming with tears.

"Xiao Rou, be good and listen. This is the last thing Grandpa can do for you." After speaking, Fire Ru Lie turned his head back, looking at Ye Yuanlin and the others, already prepared for battle.

"Grand Elder, why aren't you acting yet?" Jiang Kun, shielded within the crowd, suddenly roared.

Fire Qingrou was suddenly pushed away by a great force, and then she saw a withered palm print on Fire Ru Lie's back.

"No..."
