19: Chapter 19 Third Life, Reborn as the Boss of the Opponent's Family (Part 6)

This person was wearing the attire of an Inner Sect Disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect. His expression was cold and stern, with a faint hint of malice. He bore an eighty-percent resemblance to Lei Yi, and it was none other than Lei Ren.

"Second Young Master Chen, nice skills," Lei Yi said coldly.

"It was just a sparring match, yet you used such heavy hands to bully a disciple of my Spirit Sword Sect. Isn't that going a bit too far?"

Chen Shi raised an eyebrow and looked at Lei Ren. His cultivation was at the peak of the Stone Skin Realm, a full realm higher than his own. He definitely couldn't beat him.

He had always been one to follow his heart; since he couldn't win, he certainly wouldn't ask for a beating.

Lei Ren was throwing around serious accusations with such righteous indignation, but instead of being afraid, Chen Shi laughed.

He spread his hands and said in a very casual tone, "Senior Brother Lei, don't go throwing labels around at me.

He was the one who provoked me first and wanted to spar. How is it bullying just because he lost?

You Lei brothers aren't sore losers, are you?

And besides, Senior Brother Lei, you are just an Inner Sect Disciple; you cannot represent the Spirit Sword Sect.

The person among the younger generation who can represent the Spirit Sword Sect is not you, nor any of you. It can only be my prodigal elder brother, Chen Xuan.

As a disciple of the Supreme Elder, only he is qualified to represent the Spirit Sword Sect.

You? Not qualified!"

Lei Ren's face darkened, and his aura instantly erupted, pressing down on Chen Shi. "You are courting death!

To insult me like this, do you really think I dare not touch you?

Today, I will teach you on behalf of your brother what rules are!"

As he spoke, he prepared to make a move.

Family Head Yun Hong and his wife's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly stood up to intervene.

Just then, Yun Qingxue stood up and blocked Chen Shi. She said coldly, "Senior Brother Lei, this is the Yun Clan, not your Lei Family.

If you want to make a move, don't blame this Junior Sister for being heartless."

Seeing his beloved Yun Qingxue protecting Chen Shi behind her, Lei Ren's face flushed red; he really couldn't hold it together anymore.

Having completely lost his composure, he roared, "Junior Sister Qingxue, move aside.

Today I must teach this ignorant brat a lesson!"

Just then, Chen Shi tugged on Yun Qingxue's sleeve and shielded her behind him.

He maintained a calm expression, though in reality, he was panicking inside. He was truly afraid this guy would ignore everything and beat him up.

There was certainly no danger to his life, but he would lose all face.

But at this moment, no matter what, he had to stand up for himself; how could he stand behind his own woman?

He looked at Lei Ren and spoke slowly, his tone light but filled with immense deterrent power: "Senior Brother Lei, if you want to teach me a lesson, that is naturally fine.

However, I must remind you: after hitting me, when you return to the Spirit Sword Sect, will you be able to withstand my brother's wrath?

Will your brother Lei Yi, and the other members of the Lei Family in the Spirit Sword Sect, be able to withstand this pressure?

Even your Lei Family ancestor—can he protect you? You should consider that clearly."

"You!" Lei Ren's face stiffened, turning green and white. He stood rooted to the spot, unable to move.

At this moment, he really wanted to disregard everything and beat this brat up, but he had to consider the consequences.

After all, his talent was far inferior to Chen Xuan's, and his hopes of breaking through to the Copper Bone Realm in this lifetime were slim; he could only pin his hopes on the position of Family Head.

His father, the head of the Lei Family, had several children; besides his own brother Lei Yi, there were two other brothers who were slightly weaker.

If he were to beat this brat up severely right now, it would certainly feel good, but it would inevitably lead to dissatisfaction within the family and give the other brothers an opportunity.

Moreover, he was afraid that after returning to the Spirit Sword Sect, he would be beaten even worse by Chen Xuan.

As he battled internally, his expression shifted constantly, looking quite spectacular.

In the end, his desire for the position of Family Head overcame the anger in his heart.

Once he understood this, everything cleared up. A real man shouldn't worry about not having a wife; it was just one woman, after all.

As for his brother Lei Yi, as the older brother, he would compensate him later. As brothers, he would surely understand.

Lei Ren's expression gradually returned to calm. He glared fiercely at Chen Shi and snorted coldly, "For the sake of Yun Qingxue, I will let you off today."

Afterward, he pulled his brother Lei Yi up from the ground and bowed to Family Head Yun Hong and his wife. "Uncle Yun, this nephew was unable to hold his liquor just now; please excuse my rudeness.

Now that my brother Lei Yi has some injuries, it is inconvenient for us two brothers to stay any longer. We will come another day to apologize to you, Uncle; I hope for your forgiveness."

Although Family Head Yun Hong was unhappy about the two brothers causing trouble at the Yun Clan banquet, he couldn't bring himself to bicker with the younger generation.

Suppressing his displeasure, he chuckled and said, "Young people, it's no matter, no matter.

Your brother's injuries are important; please go ahead, nephew."

"Thank you for your understanding, Uncle." Lei Ren bowed to Family Head Yun Hong and his wife again, then immediately took his brother and slunk out of the banquet hall.

Chen Shi watched from the side, feeling a slight sense of vigilance in his heart. This Lei Ren was also a character.

To be able to endure humiliation at such an age, to be able to pick things up and put them down, like a venomous snake—it seemed he would need to be more careful in the future.

The disturbance dissipated just like that.

After this incident, the entire Sun Family was even more satisfied with Chen Shi. No one dared to look down on him anymore, thinking he was just a piece of trash relying on his brother.

And the relationship between Chen Shi and Yun Qingxue became even deeper after this matter.

Time flew by. In the years that followed, the two lived apart, one in the Chen Clan and one in the Spirit Sword Sect, yet their feelings for each other continued to grow.

In the blink of an eye, four years passed. Chen Shi was eighteen, already at the age where he could marry.

In these four years, he hadn't slacked off in his martial arts training at all, and now he had steadily reached the middle stage of the Stone Skin Realm.

Yun Qingxue was now nineteen, and her cultivation had reached the peak of the Stone Skin Realm, only needing an opportunity to break through to the Iron Skin Realm.

Chen Shi felt no annoyance at this.

Four years ago, he was in the Ox-Skin Realm, and Yun Qingxue was in the Stone Skin Realm. Now, the two of them finally stood within the same realm, all thanks to his own efforts.

Although a large part of the reason was that breaking through to the Iron Skin Realm was difficult, one shouldn't worry about those trivial details; this round was his victory.

Soon, their wedding was put on the agenda.

On that day, Pantie City was decorated with lanterns and streamers. The Chen Clan residence was covered in red silk, with gongs and drums blaring, bustling with excitement.

Noble families from several surrounding cities sent people to offer their congratulations. After all, it was a joyous occasion for the Chen Clan, and everyone wanted to use this opportunity to build a connection with the Chen Clan, especially with that prodigal eldest son, Chen Xuan.

Dressed in bright red wedding robes, Chen Shi rode a tall horse and brought Yun Qingxue, who was wearing a bridal gown, back to the Chen Clan. They bowed to heaven and earth and entered the bridal chamber; everything went smoothly.

The only regret was that his elder brother did not return to attend his wedding this time.

Early the next morning, after the couple paid their respects to their parents, Patriarch Chen Lie called them over and took a palm-sized wooden box from his bosom.

Chen Shi asked in confusion, "Father, what is this?"

Patriarch Chen Lie laughed heartily, looking extremely happy. "This is a wedding gift from your elder brother to you two.

Your elder brother is currently at a critical moment in his cultivation and could not come in person, but he entrusted someone to bring back two generous gifts."

Chen Shi was pleasantly surprised. A generous gift from his prodigal elder brother? It definitely couldn't be bad.

He hurriedly took the box and opened it to look. Inside the box was a thumb-sized, crystal-clear jade bottle with three words written on it—tiexu pill.
