6: Chapter 6 You think you're worthy?

Clan Head Lin Cang was so suppressed by this Aura that he dared not look Young Master Jiang Chen in the eyes.

He dared to be angry but dared not speak.

Nowadays, the Jiang Family was powerful, and Young Master Jiang Chen's cultivation had surged.

The Lin Family had long since declined and was powerless to resist.

Resistance would only bring about the disaster of extermination.

Clan Head Lin Cang could only bite his teeth and swallow his pride.

Meanwhile, in the Lin Family's backyard, inside an elegant boudoir, incense smoke curled.

Lin Qingxue was holding a porcelain cup, sipping spirit tea delicately.

Her brows and eyes held a touch of coquettish charm.

Lin Qingxue was twenty years old.

She was fair-skinned and beautiful, a famous beauty in Jiangyuan City.

She even possessed a cultivation base of Level 4 Qi Refining.

She was the Lin Family's true apple of the eye, a junior they could be proud of.

In the current Lin Family, Lin Qingxue was always pampered by everyone.

No matter what resources for Cultivate were available, Lin Qingxue had priority in choosing them.

Naturally, her arrogance was very high.

Just at this moment, her personal maid ran in from outside in a panic.

She ran so fast that she almost tripped over the threshold. Her face was pale, and she was panting for breath.

"Young Miss! It's bad!"

"The Jiang Family... the Jiang Family has come to propose marriage!"

"They brought so many betrothal gifts!"

Lin Qingxue was slightly stunned, then a smug smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

"The Jiang Family? Is it that blockhead Young Master Jiang Chen, or some other young disciple of the Jiang Family?"

The maid swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her voice trembling.

"It... it is to propose marriage on behalf of the Jiang Family's Second Master, Jiang Feng!"

"What?!"

The smile on Lin Qingxue's face froze instantly. The teacup in her hand stopped abruptly. Her composure vanished, and her face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Jiang Feng?

That old Trash who was sixty years old and still stuck at Level 5 Qi Refining?

An old man with half a foot in the grave?

He actually dared to send people to propose marriage to her?!

Lin Qingxue felt her whole body burning, and her chest heaved violently.

What kind of status did Lin Qingxue have?

She was the daughter of the current Family head of the Lin Family.

Her cultivation was decent, and her appearance was outstanding. Even if she couldn't marry a Sect Prodigy in the future, she had to marry a young and promising talent from a Family.

How could she marry an old Trash who was on the verge of death? And to be his concubine?

The Jiang Family was going too far! Did they treat Lin Qingxue as some lowly plaything?

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Qingxue channeled her spiritual power, crushing the teacup in her hand into pieces.

"Jiang Feng! Jiang Family! You have gone too far!"

Lin Qingxue gritted her teeth, stood up abruptly, and kicked over the round stool in front of her.

She walked quickly towards the front hall. Her steps were fast and hurried, her skirt billowing with a gust of wind. She wanted to see on what grounds the people of the Jiang Family dared to humiliate her like this.

Lin Qingxue's mind was full of the matter of Jiang Feng proposing to her, and she didn't notice the oppressive atmosphere in the front yard.

Stepping across the main door, she didn't even see the pool of blood on the ground, and pointed directly at Young Master Jiang Chen, who was standing in the hall, screaming.

"Young Master Jiang Chen! You have such great courage!"

"Relying on the Jiang Family's power, you dare to come to my Lin Family to act wildly?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Qingxue caught sight of Lin Hu, who was lying in a pool of blood with a sunken chest, and her father, who was clutching his chest with a face as white as paper.

Lin Qingxue's throat choked, but her superior self-esteem and overwhelming anger made her force herself to straighten her back.

Clan Head Lin Cang was so frightened that his face turned pale; he reached out to cover Lin Qingxue's mouth, but it was already too late.

Lin Qingxue pointed at Young Master Jiang Chen's nose, her voice shrill.

"And that Jiang Feng!"

"A sixty-year-old old Trash!"

"With low cultivation, his Lifespan coming to an end, a half-dead old thing!"

"He actually dared to send someone to my Lin Family to propose marriage?"

"Simply shameless! A pipe dream!"

"He should take a piss and look at himself to see what kind of character he is!"

"Is he even worthy of me, Lin Qingxue?!"

"Even if my Lin Family has declined, we will not tolerate such humiliation from you!"

Lin Qingxue's voice was shrill. She was convinced that the Jiang Family was asking for her hand on behalf of Jiang Feng. The more she spoke, the more excessive she became, with every word humiliating Jiang Feng.

In Lin Qingxue's heart, Jiang Feng was just an old Trash who wasn't worthy of her. The Jiang Family's proposal was an insult to her. Lin Qingxue had to trample the Jiang Family's face underfoot in public to regain her dignity.

Young Master Jiang Chen was expressionless, his Level 8 Qi Refining spiritual power gathering in his palm again. He shouted coldly, "Shut up!"

"Nonsense!"

"If you dare to insult my Second Master again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Qingxue not only didn't stop, but instead tilted her chin and looked at Young Master Jiang Chen.

"So what if I cursed him?"

"He is an old Trash, aren't people allowed to say it?"

"Want to marry me, Lin Qingxue?"

"You, the Jiang Family, are simply daydreaming!"

Young Master Jiang Chen no longer held back in the slightest. His figure left an afterimage as he appeared directly in front of Lin Qingxue. He raised his hand and delivered a heavy slap.

"Slap!"

The crisp sound of the slap resounded through the hall. The force was so great that it sent Lin Qingxue flying backward. She spun twice in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

Blood instantly spilled from the corner of her mouth. Half of her cheek swelled high, imprinted with five finger marks. The hairpin on her head fell off, and her long hair fell messily over her shoulders. There was not a trace of her former appearance left.

Lin Qingxue was dumbfounded. Covering her face, her eyes widened. Lin Qingxue had grown up, and even her father had never hit her. Young Master Jiang Chen actually dared to strike her.

Young Master Jiang Chen looked down at Lin Qingxue from above. His eyes were full of contempt and disgust. His tone was cold.

"You?"

"Are you even worthy?"

"My Jiang Family's Second Master has never wanted to marry you."

"It is the former Lin Family Prodigy, Lin Yueyao!"

This sentence exploded in Lin Qingxue's mind. Everyone in the Lin Family stood frozen on the spot. The looks they gave Lin Qingxue were full of strangeness and pity.

Lin Qingxue froze in place. Her mind went blank. The pain on her face arrived. Lin Qingxue had thought of countless possibilities. She had thought the Jiang Family would bow their heads. She had thought Young Master Jiang Chen would soften. She had even thought about how she would firmly refuse and slap the Jiang Family's face hard.

But Lin Qingxue never expected one thing. The person the Jiang Family wanted to marry was that waste Lin Yueyao, whose Spiritual Root was completely destroyed, who had been returned by the Sect, and who was despised by everyone.

Just a moment ago, Lin Qingxue was arrogant and high-spirited. In front of everyone, she cursed Jiang Feng for not being worthy of her. But in the end, it was her own wishful thinking. They hadn't even looked at her from beginning to end.

The appearance, cultivation, and status that Lin Qingxue was so proud of, in the eyes of the Jiang Family, were not even comparable to a fallen waste woman whose Spiritual Root was completely destroyed. This disparity made Lin Qingxue tremble all over.

"No... impossible..." Lin Qingxue muttered to herself, covering her red and swollen face. Tears mixed with blood slid down. Her eyes were hollow. She was ashamed, annoyed, and hateful. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into immediately.

Her heart full of arrogance was trampled to pieces by Young Master Jiang Chen at this moment. This thorough slap in the face made her lose all face, turning her into a huge joke.

Young Master Jiang Chen glanced at her coldly, paying no more attention to her. Such a conceited, arrogant, and stupid woman was not even worthy of carrying the shoes for his Second Master.

The people of the Lin Family looked at the disheveled Lin Qingxue, then looked toward the main hall; no one dared to make a sound.
