86: Chapter 86: Revenge is Here
Qin Chuan also noticed Patriarch Xiao Wuyan's gaze and could not help but feel a bit puzzled.
"The Xiao Family?"
He had previously learned from Ye Nantian about the Land Immortal of the Dragon Kingdom, who also seemed to have the surname Xiao, right?
Patriarch Xiao Wuyan quickly withdrew his gaze and took his seat under the welcome of Qin De.
Now, the entire Qin Family naturally stopped paying attention to Qin Chuan and Qin Lan; they were more concerned about the arrival of the Xiao Family.
"Why is the Xiao Family here to attend our Qin Family Annual Meeting?"
"Unbelievable, this is the Xiao Family!"
"Our Qin Family is about to rise."
"..."
Everyone was extremely excited.
Logically speaking, the Qin Family Annual Meeting had no qualifications to have the Xiao Family attend, let alone the head of the family himself; if it weren't for seeing it with their own eyes, it would indeed be hard to believe.
"Brother, do you know people from the Xiao Family?" Qin Chengwu could not help but ask in a low voice.
"I don't know them." Qin Chengwen shook his head. "I'm already grateful that I could get the captain of the Martial Arts Alliance to come, let alone the Xiao Family."
"Then why would the Xiao Family send someone, and the head of the Xiao Family at that?" Qin Chengwen was even more confused.
"I don't know." Qin Chengwen shook his head, his heart filled with bewilderment.
With the arrival of Patriarch Xiao Wuyan, the Qin Family naturally focused all their attention on him.
"Patriarch Xiao Wuyan, your presence truly brings splendor to our humble Qin Family." Qin De grinned from ear to ear.
Patriarch Xiao Wuyan's attention, however, was occasionally on Qin Chuan. He felt a bit strange; this Qin Chuan was likely a Land Immortal, so his status within the Qin Family should be very high, yet why did it seem like he was being excluded?
"Patriarch Xiao Wuyan, I am Zhou Lixuan..." Zhou Lixuan also started trying to cozy up to him.
Other guests who had come to attend the Qin Family Annual Meeting also flocked over to try and curry favor.
Patriarch Xiao Wuyan, however, couldn't be bothered to pay attention; he had come to the Qin Family this time merely to watch the show.
Seeing that Patriarch Xiao Wuyan did not want to engage with them, everyone retreated.
"Patriarch Xiao Wuyan, why have you come to attend our Qin Family Annual Meeting?" Qin De asked curiously.
"Heh, do you know of Elder Yinshan?" Patriarch Xiao Wuyan said with a faint smile.
"Elder Yinshan?" Qin De was confused. "I have heard of him, but what does the Qin Family Annual Meeting have to do with Elder Yinshan?"
Qin Chuan had originally intended to leave with his sister, but upon hearing the name Elder Yinshan, he could not help but pause and cast his gaze toward Patriarch Xiao Wuyan.
"What, is Elder Yinshan coming for revenge?" he asked indifferently.
It had been about a month; when he spared Elder Yinshan's life back then, it was because he wanted the other party to bring Huyan Jue to seek revenge.
Because Qin Chuan was quite interested in the Witchcraft Path, and Elder Yinshan's strength was too weak, he wanted to witness Huyan Jue, who stood at the pinnacle of the Witchcraft Path.
But as soon as he said this, it drew a wave of dissatisfaction.
"What business is this of yours?"
"Why haven't you gotten out of our Qin Family yet?"
"You have no manners!"
For a moment, reprimands were endless.
Patriarch Xiao Wuyan was stunned. What was going on with this Qin Family?
Did they not know Qin Chuan's identity?
This was quite interesting.
Qin De was somewhat annoyed: "It is not your place to speak here!"
Afterward, he apologized to Patriarch Xiao Wuyan: "Patriarch Xiao Wuyan, my apologies. We have someone in the family who doesn't know their place, making you laugh."
"It is no matter!"
Patriarch Xiao Wuyan waved his hand, then looked at Qin Chuan: "He is indeed coming for revenge; he should already be outside the Qin Family gates now."
Huh?
The members of the Qin Family were all confused upon hearing this.
What did this mean?
No one understood.
But only Qin Chuan understood, so he no longer intended to leave. He turned his head to look at his sister: "Lanlan, you should leave through the back door first."
"Ah?" Qin Lan gripped her brother's hand tightly. "I don't want to!"
"There are some things I need to handle." Qin Chuan flicked Qin Lan's nose. "Trust your brother, I will handle it."
Qin Lan was still somewhat unwilling, but seeing her brother's confident gaze, after hesitating for a moment, she decided to leave first.
"Then... brother, be careful, and don't do anything impulsive."
She did not forget to urge him before she left.
"Patriarch Xiao Wuyan, what did you mean by your words just now? I don't understand, is Elder Yinshan coming to attend our Qin Family Annual Meeting?" Qin De was bewildered.
The Qin Family members were the same.
The Qin Family was a Martial Arts Family, so how could they not know of Elder Yinshan?
This was an expert of the Witchcraft Path. However, the Qin Family and Elder Yinshan did not know each other at all, and had never even met, so how could Elder Yinshan possibly come to attend this Qin Family Annual Meeting?
Meanwhile.
At the Qin Family main gate.
"Today is truly extraordinary. The Alliance Guard has come, and even the Xiao Family has come. The Qin Family is going to be something else."
There were two security guards at the gate, one a bit older and one younger; it was the older security guard speaking.
The younger security guard was mainly responsible for announcing identities.
"Brother Liu, why would the Xiao Family come to attend the Qin Family Annual Meeting?" the younger security guard asked curiously.
"How would I know? But after today, the Qin Family is going to soar to the skies. I heard that the Qin Family is going to produce a Dragon." Brother Liu said mysteriously.
"Ah? A Dragon? Who?" the younger security guard asked, puzzled.
"It's the Qin Family's eldest young master; he's only around thirty and has already entered the Fifth Realm!"
Brother Liu looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle: "From now on, whoever we look up to will be the Qin Family!"
The younger security guard had a face full of envy and longing. Those who could become security guards for the Qin Family were naturally all Martial Artists, though their strength was naturally not high.
"Eh, Brother Liu, look, someone else is coming." The younger security guard noticed two people walking toward the main gate. These two people looked eerie, and one of the old men was hunched over, looking like he might not be able to walk at any moment.
Generally, those who came to attend the Annual Meeting were people of status, and their clothing and attire were very luxurious.
But these two people before them, especially that old man wearing ragged clothes, could be seen at a glance not to be rich people.
"Stop right there. This is a restricted area of the Qin Family, it's not for you..."
The younger security guard spoke first.
But before he could finish speaking, a palm formed from black Qi reached out and grabbed him.
Pfft!
The younger security guard didn't even have time to scream before he was crushed by this black hand.
"Help!"
Brother Liu turned to run away.
The black hand closed its five fingers, swept horizontally, and slapped him into the Qin Family grounds.
At this moment.
On the Qin Family side, they were still wondering why Elder Yinshan would come to attend the Annual Meeting.
The Qin Family did not know Elder Yinshan at all, but according to the meaning of Patriarch Xiao Wuyan's words, Elder Yinshan should already be at the Qin Family main gate now.
It was inconceivable.
"If Elder Yinshan comes to attend our Qin Family Annual Meeting, then I will naturally welcome him." Qin De said with a chuckle.
The words had just fallen.
Thump!
Brother Liu, wearing the security uniform, flew in backward and slammed heavily at the feet of Qin De and the others. He spat out blood, his eyes wide open, reaching out to ask Qin De for help, but after his body struggled for a moment, it went still...
