17: Chen Ningbing: Give me a sister

Meeting again, Ye Linger didn't know what to say for a moment, especially seeing Xiao Fan in such a predicament.

At the same time, Xiao Fan's expression gradually turned cold; he saw Ye Linger's retreat and the hint of disgust in her eyes.

Coupled with Qin Jiang and Ye Linger's intimacy, it made Xiao Fan's heart ache.

In fact, his hatred for Qin Jiang gradually shifted to Ye Linger.

"Why are you here? To mock me?" Xiao Fan said with a cold face.

Qin Jiang shrugged, not saying much, but Ye Linger explained, "It's not like that, we..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Fan roared.

He didn't dare to roar at Qin Jiang, but facing Ye Linger, he was arrogant.

Ye Linger was startled.

"Xiao Fan, I..."

"Heh, you're calling me Xiao Fan now?" Xiao Fan sneered, his face full of sarcasm.

Ye Linger was a bit flustered; Xiao Fan's behavior was completely unlike his usual gentle and refined self.

It was as if he had changed into a different person.

"Xiao Fan, don't push your luck!" Qin Jiang warned.

Xiao Fan's Aura faltered, feeling a bit indignant, but he didn't dare to refute Qin Jiang.

He could only glare at Ye Linger, snort coldly, and say no more.

His bullying of the weak and fear of the strong left Ye Linger bewildered; was Xiao Fan really such a person?

She looked at Qin Jiang helplessly.

Qin Jiang sighed, embracing her by the waist, which made Xiao Fan furious.

"Xiao Fan, Ye Linger and I came here today to tell you that from now on, Ye Linger and your Xiao Family have no relation whatsoever.

If you provoke me again in the future, don't blame me for being merciless."

After speaking, Qin Jiang left with Ye Linger.

Xiao Fan stood in place, panting like an ox, his fists tightly clenched, staring at their retreating figures:

"Qin Jiang, Ye Linger...

Damn it, you all deserve to die!!!"

He growled, his eyes full of hatred.

His hatred for Qin Jiang ultimately implicated Ye Linger, and in Xiao Fan's view, Qin Jiang's initial target was Ye Linger.

If it weren't for Ye Linger, the Qin Family wouldn't have broken off the engagement, and he wouldn't have fallen to this state.

Xiao Fan deceived himself, pushing all the blame onto Ye Linger.

"Just wait, you adulterous couple, you will pay the price!"

...

"What? Still not happy?" Qin Jiang looked at Ye Linger, pinching her cheek.

Ye Linger looked lost; she turned back and glanced, asking somewhat confusedly, "Why does a person change so much in such a short time?"

She was, of course, talking about Xiao Fan.

Qin Jiang chuckled, "Perhaps you've never seen his true self until now...

A person's true face only reveals itself in extreme situations; you used to live too comfortably."

"Is that so?" Ye Linger nodded.

She lowered her head slightly, lost in thought.

Qin Jiang didn't say anything more; he had made his point. Saying too much would seem intentional, so it was better to let Ye Linger figure it out herself.

...

Chen Family.

Chen Lie saw the guards behind his daughter and couldn't help but swallow; any one of them was stronger than him.

"Bing'er, that person... What exactly is his identity?" Chen Lie asked curiously.

Chen Ningbing's gaze also withdrew from the guards; she sighed, pointing to the sky, "He is the Heaven of our entire great Domain."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lie was first stunned, then immediately reacted.

Qingcheng Town belongs to the Qin Domain, so the Heaven here... was naturally the Qin Family.

"A Qin Family member!" He gasped, for Cultivators in the Qin Domain, the Qin Family was truly Heaven.

Even an ordinary Disciple of the Qin Family would be treated as an envoy.

Moreover, judging by Qin Jiang's demeanor and the guards around him, he was definitely not an ordinary Disciple.

Chen Lie became excited.

If they could connect with the Qin Family, their Chen Family would truly take off!

"Bing'er, from now on, our Chen Family is in your hands!" Chen Lie said delightedly, rubbing his hands constantly.

"Yes, it's in your hands. I'll go find the Family Elders now and pass the Clan Chief position to you, and also this Town Chief position, I'll pass that to you too."

"Wait!" Chen Ningbing frowned, looking at her foolish old father, and said speechlessly, "Why would you give me these burdens?"

"Burdens?" Chen Lie's expression froze, and his eyes widened, but upon careful thought, this Chen Family and Qingcheng Town really were burdens.

To the Qin Family, his meager possessions probably wouldn't even be noticed.

Chen Lie couldn't help but feel a little sad; he couldn't even afford his daughter's dowry.

"This..." Chen Lie was a bit embarrassed.

Chen Ningbing thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing at home that can help me, unless..."

"What?"

"You and mother give me a younger sister."

Chen Lie: "???"

He was full of question marks, but soon understood Chen Ningbing's meaning, glaring at her, his old face flushed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing her old father unwilling, Chen Ningbing rolled her eyes, "Besides that, there's nothing else that can help me."

Chen Lie: "..."

He looked at Chen Ningbing and actually hesitated; should he... have another one?

However, he wasn't sure it would be a daughter, and besides, he was old and a bit powerless.

His wife had always been critical of him.

"I'll try my best," Chen Lie said with difficulty.

However, this help would be at least a decade or more away.

Chen Ningbing had just said it casually and didn't really care, but her old father really took it to heart.

As for whether it would succeed... that depended on Chen Lie's body.

"Oh, and this." Chen Ningbing took out a jade bottle and carefully poured out a Medicinal Pill.

"He said this is a Marrow Cleansing Pill, which can cleanse the marrow and bones and improve one's talent.

I'll keep one, and you can give the rest to the Family Disciples."

To the Qin Family, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was not a good thing, but to the Chen Family, it was a rare treasure.

Chen Lie's eyes were burning, but then he said with some worry, "This was given to you by him; giving it to us now might not be good, right?"

"He said it was for me to dispose of as I pleased. Besides, to him, it's no different from trash. When he gave it to me, I even felt like he was disposing of trash."

Thinking of Qin Jiang's expression, Chen Ningbing said somewhat helplessly.

Chen Lie: "..."

For a moment, he felt a little depressed and withdrawn; the treasure in his eyes was considered just a pile of trash by others.

Sighing, he took the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

He became joyful again; with this, the Family could produce several Geniuses.

Trash is trash.

To the Chen Family, it was a good thing anyway.

Then, Chen Lie looked at Chen Ningbing again, his face full of anticipation, "Are there any other trash?"

Seeing her old father's greedy look, Chen Ningbing helplessly took out a few more treasures, all given to her by Qin Jiang, of course, it was almost like disposing of trash.
