97: Is he a martial artist?

Long Yuan secretly circulated his profound Cultivation Technique, easily neutralizing Qin Fu Yi's "Dragon Claw Hand" and slowly withdrawing his right hand, saying, "Uncle Qin, a healer has a benevolent heart. If I don't act, then so be it, but if I do, I must give my true heart and full effort. As for the disputes within your Family, I truly cannot concern myself with them. However, after I heal Ye He, I can tell him not to easily trouble the Qin Family in the future. Everyone here is a major Family in Fengyang, it's best to live in peace and achieve a win-win situation!"

Qin Fu Yi stared at his empty hand, stunned!

How was that possible?! His Qin Family's Dragon Claw Hand was a Yellow Rank Cultivation Technique, and he had used his Martial Master (Mid-stage) cultivation to unleash it. How could Long Yuan possibly break free?!

Yet, the truth was right before him, making it difficult for him to accept...

When he finally came to his senses, he realized Long Yuan had already walked away, and Yun Yi was following closely behind him. Qin Fu Yang, who was nearby, asked in surprise, "Big Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"No... something's very wrong!"

"What's wrong? What's not right? Big Brother, what's wrong with you?!" Qin Fu Yang asked curiously.

"What's wrong with me? Didn't you see me grab Long Yuan's hand?" Qin Fu Yi said angrily.

"What about you grabbing his hand? Isn't that normal? I thought you were trying to get close to him!" Qin Fu Yang said.

Qin Fu Yi snorted, "Why is your wooden head so slow to catch on?"

"Ah?! Why am I slow to catch on when I'm perfectly fine?" Qin Fu Yang asked, puzzled.

"You, oh, you, you've always been so rough and reckless! You never use your brain to think things through. Now, Long Yuan wants to save Ye He. If Ye He recovers to S-rank talent, then in the future, he will likely be a Martial Commander level existence. Do you think our Qin Family will still matter in Fengyang? What if his Ye Family takes a disliking to us? As long as Ye He makes a move, our Qin Family will be completely finished! Do you understand?!" Qin Fu Yi roared.

"What does that have to do with you grabbing Long Yuan's hand?"

"Didn't you see me use the Dragon Claw Hand?"

"No... Oh my God, were you trying to ruin Long Yuan's hand?" Qin Fu Yang finally reacted.

"Exactly! Ruin his hand, and he naturally won't be able to perform surgery on Ye He, and the Ye Family won't be able to threaten our Qin Family anymore!"

"Big Brother?! You can't do that... Long Yuan is innocent, he just wants to save someone..." Qin Fu Yang said anxiously.

"Hmph, he wants to save someone, that's true, but he shouldn't save Ye He, because saving Ye He means going against our Qin Family!"

"This... did you really ruin his hand just now?!" Qin Fu Yang asked, eyes wide.

"No!"

"Oh? It seems Big Brother ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it..." Qin Fu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're wrong! For the safety of the Family, for the safety of our descendants, how could I not bring myself to do it? It's just..."

"Just what?!"

"He broke free from my Dragon Claw Hand!"

"Ah, this?! That's impossible, right?" Qin Fu Yang said in astonishment.

"I also think it's impossible, but it's the truth. This kid Long Yuan has a secret! Looking at his recent performance, he is definitely not just a mere Martial Apprentice!" Qin Fu Yi said fiercely.

"Not a Martial Apprentice, could he be a Martial Artist? How is that possible? He's only 16, and his Awakening hasn't been long!" Qin Fu Yang said in surprise.

"No, a Martial Artist couldn't break free from my Dragon Claw Hand!" Qin Fu Yi slowly shook his head.

Qin Fu Yang was completely stunned upon hearing this, his mouth agape, unable to speak...

"There's a problem, definitely a problem! We must thoroughly investigate Long Yuan, to see what his background is and why he can reach such a height at such a young age..." Qin Fu Yi mused.

"Why investigate him? He hasn't done anything to offend our Qin Family, and besides, didn't you say you wanted to recruit him into our Fengqing Company as a big star?" Qin Fu Yang said.

"What do you know? What does a 16-year-old Martial Master mean?"

"What?! You said he's a Martial Master?!" Qin Fu Yang was so shocked he felt numb.

"To be able to break free from my Dragon Claw Hand, and to do so easily, he should at least be a Martial Master! A 16-year-old Martial Master, behind him must be a major Family, and one with a Bloodline Legacy. If we don't want to be enemies with him, then we must try our best to curry favor with him. Perhaps in the future, he will be our backing. If his Family is our backing, then we won't have to worry too much about Ye He..." Qin Fu Yi explained.

"So that's how it is..." Qin Fu Yang suddenly understood.

At this moment, Qin Gui, who had rushed over from behind, happened to hear these last words and couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Father, what did you say? How could Long Yuan be a Martial Master?!"

"You don't believe your father's judgment?"

"This... it's not that I don't believe... it's just that it's too incredible, isn't it? He's my classmate now, and before... before..." Qin Gui suddenly became speechless, because he remembered when he and Wang Yu had tried to bully Long Yuan and Duan Hu at school. A group of them were beaten to a pulp by Long Yuan alone, and he himself had lost 3 teeth. In the end, Long Yuan even took a short video of him, threatening him not to seek revenge from his elders...

This incident had a huge impact on him, so much so that he had been living in Long Yuan's shadow during this time. At that time, he had guessed that Long Yuan's cultivation strength was probably that of a Martial Artist, but he never expected his father's evaluation of him to be even higher, directly placing him at the Martial Master level!

"What happened before?" Qin Fu Yi snorted.

"Before I..."

"Speak quickly, Long Yuan's matter concerns the Qin Family's next choices and decisions!" Qin Fu Yi commanded.

Upon hearing this, Qin Gui no longer dared to hide it and quickly recounted how he had tried to bully Long Yuan earlier and was ultimately defeated by him alone...

"Why didn't you report this in a timely manner?" Qin Fu Yi said angrily.

"Father, Long Yuan recorded short videos of all of us and threatened us, saying that if we told anyone, these videos would appear before the principal and the county magistrate the next day, and also on the Martial Dao forum. How could we dare to speak out?" Qin Gui said anxiously.

"This..." Qin Fu Yi was stunned.

Qin Fu Yi was not at all surprised that Long Yuan could defeat this group of Family disciples, but the way he handled it afterwards showed him a different Long Yuan!

"Quick-witted, meticulous, grasping the opponent's weakness and going all the way... Is this something a 16-year-old boy can do?" Qin Fu Yi was also a bit bewildered at this moment.

He thought about it, if he were Long Yuan, he probably couldn't have done better than Long Yuan in such a short time. At such a young age, he knew how to use the authority of important figures and the power of the internet to protect himself, and these methods were something Family disciples like Qin Gui simply couldn't comprehend. When they encountered problems, they would only run to the Family to cry and seek help at the first opportunity...

In other words, Long Yuan is a Dragon, capable of soaring independently in the Nine Heavens, while people like Qin Gui are a nest of insects. They can only rely on the Family to huddle together for warmth; without the Family's protection, they would probably be swallowed up by powerful enemies from the outside very quickly...

Qin Fu Yi looked at Qin Gui and sighed, "You must emulate Long Yuan. You can't continue living like this in the future, otherwise, you will only be mediocre and completely unable to take on the heavy responsibilities of my Qin Family!"

"This... how can I emulate him? I don't have mental talent, nor do I have The Art of Medicine talent or music talent!" Qin Gui said anxiously.

"You?! I'm saying you need to learn how to do things! Look at Long Yuan, at such a young age, he can handle things flawlessly, and what about you? You fight over a woman out of jealousy, bully others and get beaten, and then, because of threats, you don't dare to utter a single word! Do you know how you lost?" Qin Fu Yi said loudly.

"I..." Qin Gui's face turned crimson, wishing there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into and never come out...
