85: Chapter 85 Xiao Jialai Ren

"Huh?"

Qin Lan was startled by these words. She grabbed her brother and said anxiously, "Brother, don't be impulsive. Let's go home... Please, don't kill anyone, okay?"

She was truly frightened.

Killing someone leads to prison.

No matter what, she couldn't let her brother act impulsively!

Qin Lan held onto her brother tightly, unwilling to let go at all.

Qin Chuan felt somewhat helpless and had no choice but to let Steward Qin off for the moment. He had originally intended to kill Steward Qin before leaving, but seeing the near-pleading look in his sister's eyes, he gave up on the idea for now.

However, in his eyes, Steward Qin was still a dead man.

"Elder Qin, I am very fond of Qin Lan, and the marriage has already been set. If you change the person now, doesn't that mean I'm being dumped?"

At this moment, Zhou Ningyi suddenly spoke up.

Originally, he hadn't wanted to make things difficult for Qin Lan; swapping one for another wasn't a big deal. However, the fact that Qin Chuan dared to say he wasn't good enough for Qin Lan made him extremely displeased.

He was being completely looked down upon.

Doesn't he, Zhou Ningyi, have any Face?

"Brother, what's the point of that woman? She's just a commoner. It's already generous of you not to look down on her, yet she dares to look down on you. She has no idea what's good for her," Zhou Qingqing huffed.

Qin De was in a bit of a dilemma. Although he was furious at Qin Lan's reluctance and Qin Chuan's disagreement, they were still his own grandchildren. He couldn't possibly take action against them himself, could he?

At most, he could expel them from the Qin Family and forbid them from ever stepping foot into the Qin Family again. He just hadn't expected that Zhou Ningyi would be unwilling to give up.

"Elder Qin, I don't want to make things difficult for the Qin Family either. Just have them come over and apologize to me, and we can let this matter pass." Zhou Ningyi glanced provocatively at Qin Chuan.

Qin De breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Qin Chuan and Qin Lan. "Come over and apologize, then get out of the Qin Family!"

"Brother, let's go apologize." Qin Lan pulled her brother, intending to go over.

"Apologize?"

Qin Chuan glanced at Qin De. "The marriage was arranged by you; if anyone needs to apologize, it should be you."

"What did you say?" Qin De was infuriated.

"Qin Chuan, how are you speaking to your grandfather? Have you no respect for your elders? Hurry up and come over here to apologize!" Qin Chengwen scolded.

This was completely lawless.

Who in the Qin Family dared to speak to Qin De like this?

Yet Qin Chuan did it again and again, which angered quite a few people in the Qin Family.

Logically speaking, Qin Chuan was a direct descendant of the Qin Family and Qin De's own grandson. Even if he had said something excessive, it wasn't for some collateral branches to discuss.

However, Qin Chuan had been living in the utility room for the past two days without any resistance, and today at the annual meeting, he had been relegated to the corner. This had led the collateral branches to look down on this direct descendant.

Therefore, now that Qin Chuan dared to speak to Qin De like this, everyone began to point fingers and whisper.

"How utterly stupid. If I were him, I would have just sent my sister over and apologized obediently. He doesn't even know how to grasp such immense wealth?"

"Exactly. Leaving the Qin Family is equivalent to losing everything. Doesn't he know what he is about to lose?"

"A bumpkin is a bumpkin. By the time he realizes his mistake, it will be too late."

The jeers and sarcastic remarks continued. In everyone's eyes, Qin Chuan would definitely regret his actions today.

"Alright, alright. Ningyi, you really are something. Today is the Qin Family Annual Meeting, let's not make a scene." Zhou Lixuan spoke up at this moment.

He knew very well that if the annual meeting continued like this, it probably wouldn't be able to proceed.

As an in-law of the Qin Family, he still had to look after the Qin Family's Face.

After all, so many people were watching.

"Yes, Grandfather." Zhou Ningyi had no choice but to stop, though a trace of gloom appeared in his eyes.

"Old Qin, let the annual meeting continue," Zhou Lixuan said.

"Hmm." Qin De nodded, then glared fiercely at Qin Chuan and Qin Lan. "You two had better watch yourselves!"

Qin Chuan did not intend to stay here any longer. Holding his sister's hand, he prepared to leave.

"Young Master Qin Chuan, you must leave through the back door."

Steward Qin blocked Qin Chuan and Qin Lan, smiling as he pointed toward the Qin Family's back door.

"The main gate is reserved for guests; it's not for just any stray cat or dog to walk through."

Now that Qin Chuan and Qin Lan had been expelled from the Qin Family, Steward Qin naturally spoke without any restraint.

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes.

"Heh, what, do you want to teach me how to write the word 'death'?" Steward Qin provoked, his words full of mockery.

"Brother, let's go!" Worried that her brother would be impulsive, Qin Lan gripped his hand tightly.

How could Qin Chuan be impulsive? In his eyes, Steward Qin was no more than an ant, and in his eyes, he was already a dead man.

As a dignified Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivator, how could he be easily angered by the words of an ant, a dead man?

"Heh, what if I insist on walking through this main gate today?" Qin Chuan said with a half-smile.

"Young Master Qin Chuan, please don't make things difficult for me." Steward Qin shrugged. "Of course, if you insist on walking through the main gate, then I will have no choice but to take action."

Qin Lan became somewhat nervous. Although she had never seen the steward take action, she knew that to be the steward of the Qin Family, one must definitely be a Martial Artist.

However, at this very moment, a voice came from outside the door that shocked the entire Qin Family.

"The Xiao Family... Patriarch Xiao Wuyan has arrived!"

As this voice fell, everyone was stunned.

They even found it somewhat unbelievable.

Upon hearing this name, Qin De couldn't help but stand up abruptly, his aged Face full of astonishment.

Not only that, but the others who had come to attend the Qin Family Annual Meeting also stood up one after another, all of them completely confused.

"Old Qin, the Xiao Family?" Zhou Lixuan looked at Qin De.

Qin De was also filled with confusion.

Although the Qin Family was a prestigious and influential Family in the capital, compared to the Xiao Family, they were far behind.

The Xiao Family was the number one Family in Dragon Kingdom Martial Arts. Everyone knew that the Xiao Family possessed the only Land Immortal in the Dragon Kingdom.

In the eyes of the Xiao Family, the Qin Family was no different from ants.

Yet now, the Xiao Family had come to attend the Qin Family Annual Meeting, and the one who came was Patriarch Xiao Wuyan, the head of the Xiao Family himself.

It was unbelievable.

The entire Qin Family fell into silence instantly; for a moment, they even forgot to go out to welcome them.

It wasn't until Patriarch Xiao Wuyan walked into the Qin Family, with his son, Young Master Xiao Jinxiu, following by his side.

"Oh my, please forgive the lack of a proper welcome..." Qin De snapped back to reality and immediately went to greet them. Regardless of why the Xiao Family had appeared, he had to welcome them grandly.

The direct descendants of the Qin Family also rushed to greet them.

Not only that, but the guests who had come to attend the Qin Family Annual Meeting all went up to greet them.

"Patriarch Xiao, long time no see." Captain Zhang Ming's Face was filled with smiles.

He was the Captain of the Martial Arts Alliance, highly valued by the Qin Family, but in front of Patriarch Xiao Wuyan, he acted like a commoner.

Patriarch Xiao Wuyan wore a smile, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally resting on Qin Chuan...
