95: Chapter 95 It's all Qin Chuan's fault

The Qin Family's mysterious actions left Patriarch Xiao Wuyan feeling a bit confused.

But he soon figured something out; it was likely that the Qin Family didn't know that Qin Chuan was in the Land Immortal Realm, right?

This was getting interesting.

"Oh, are you here to apologize?"

Patriarch Xiao Wuyan narrowed his eyes. "How come the one who injured my son isn't here to apologize?"

"Patriarch Xiao, we have no relationship with him. Whether he comes or not is up to him. I only hope that when the Ancestor of the Xiao Family deals with him, it won't involve our Qin Family," Qin De explained hurriedly.

"That's right, our Qin Family really has no relationship with him!"

"We hope Patriarch Xiao will not vent his anger on our Qin Family."

Qin Chengwu and the others joined in to explain.

"Heh, and his act of seriously injuring me, should we just pretend it never happened?" Young Master Xiao Jinxiu scoffed.

Only then did Qin De and the others notice that Young Master Xiao Jinxiu seemed completely fine, his complexion even looking a bit rosy.

"Young Master Xiao, you're already recovered?" Qin De asked in surprise.

"With my Old Ancestor here, what could possibly happen to me?" Young Master Xiao Jinxiu said with disdain.

Seeing that Young Master Xiao Jinxiu really seemed fine, the members of the Qin Family became even more convinced that Qin Chuan could not possibly be a match for the Ancestor of the Xiao Family.

Saying he would die within three days—Young Master Xiao Jinxiu was already fine; why wait three days?

The clown in this situation was Qin Chuan.

"Although you have severed ties with Qin Chuan, it's not impossible for us to have our Old Ancestor not cause trouble for you."

Patriarch Xiao Wuyan looked at Qin De. "Pay compensation. One billion, and I'll pretend today's events never happened."

One billion!

This was by no means a small sum.

But Qin De had no choice, and settling it for one billion was already quite fortunate.

"Alright, alright, alright, our Qin Family will pay this one billion." Qin De agreed immediately.

"In addition, one Magical Artifact!" Patriarch Xiao Wuyan added.

Gasp!

Qin De and the others all gasped.

One billion plus one Magical Artifact.

This was pure extortion.

But as mentioned, the Qin Family had no choice.

"Patriarch Xiao, our Qin Family has encountered some issues recently; all our Magical Artifacts have lost their Spiritual Qi..."

"That is your Qin Family's business, not mine. I'll give you one day; the Magical Artifact must be delivered to me." Patriarch Xiao Wuyan interrupted.

"Yes..." Qin De could only agree.

"Alright, that's all. You may leave." Patriarch Xiao Wuyan waved his hand.

Not daring to disturb him further, Qin De left with his two sons and several grandchildren.

Once they were out of the Xiao Family residence, Qin Jun began to curse furiously: "The Xiao Family is certainly making unreasonable demands, but the real culprit is that Qin Chuan! I don't know what methods he used to Cultivate to that Realm, but he intentionally harmed our Qin Family. No matter how powerful he is, what's the point of it?"

"It's likely he really wanted to take revenge on our Qin Family. Now, his scheme has succeeded," Qin Chengwu said through gritted teeth.

"This time we have suffered heavy losses, and many in the Martial Artist community already know that our Qin Family has offended the Xiao Family. I'm afraid not many people will be willing to associate with us anymore," Qin Chengwen said in a deep voice.

Qin De's expression was very grim. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion—his own grandson was so powerful—but he just had to offend the Xiao Family. And now, it seemed very likely that it was intentional, with the goal of getting the Xiao Family to deal with the Qin Family.

Extremely abominable!

They had lost one billion and a Magical Artifact for no reason.

Magical Artifacts were rare and hard to come by. If one wanted to obtain one in a short period, they would have to pay a huge price; there was no upper limit for such items.

"Find me a Magical Artifact within a day. No matter what, buy it for me!" Qin De immediately ordered.

"Yes!" Qin Chengwen and Qin Chengwu replied.

No matter how much they hated Qin Chuan now, there was no way to go and cause trouble for him; they could only satisfy the Xiao Family's demands.

Little did they know, after they left the Xiao Family...

"Is something wrong with the Qin Family's brains?" Young Master Xiao Jinxiu was shocked by the Xiao Family's behavior.

"They think Qin Chuan is no match for the Old Ancestor, and it just so happens that the Old Ancestor doesn't want to fight either. We'll just treat it as if they paid compensation, and the Old Ancestor didn't have to fight. That way, our Xiao Family won't lose face," Patriarch Xiao Wuyan breathed a sigh of relief.

He had really been worried before that the Xiao Family would lose all face because of this. After all, Qin Chuan had issued a challenge, and if the Old Ancestor didn't accept it, wouldn't that be a joke?

But now it was different. The Qin Family came to apologize, so they could take advantage of this apology. They could just announce to the outside world that the Qin Family apologized, so the Xiao Family wouldn't take action. It was logical and natural.

"However... just because the Old Ancestor didn't go, doesn't mean Qin Chuan won't come."

Patriarch Xiao Wuyan's expression grew a bit more serious. "We still need to arrange some 8th Realm Martial Artists in our Xiao Family. If Qin Chuan really does come to our doorstep, we will still have the advantage."

...

Qin Chuan didn't know that the Qin Family had already apologized to the Xiao Family. He was currently eating a meal of Malatang on the street with his sister.

In fact, Qin Chuan had already entered the Tongxuan Realm and didn't need to eat anymore, but no matter which Cultivator it was, they would occasionally taste the delicacies of the human world.

"Brother, will the Qin Family still make me enter a marriage alliance?" Qin Lan asked with some worry.

"Don't worry, they won't." Qin Chuan smiled.

The two ate their fill, and then Qin Lan received a phone call.

"Oh, oh, going out to play..." Qin Lan hesitated a bit. She lowered her phone and looked at Qin Chuan. "Brother, Yun Mei is inviting me. Do you want to come along?"

"Sure." Qin Chuan's main priority right now was accompanying his sister. "I'll accompany you these few days. Wherever you go, Brother goes too."

Qin Lan had originally wanted to hail a taxi, but was stopped by Qin Chuan. He then made a phone call to Xiao Liu.

Not long after, a Maybach drove over from a distance and stopped in front of the two.

"Brother, where did you get the car?" Qin Lan asked, tilting her head.

"Have you forgotten? Our Qin Family's assets have been taken back. Our family isn't short of money. From now on, you can be a little rich girl," Qin Chuan said.

"I don't want to be any rich girl. Keep that money for Brother to marry a wife." Qin Lan wrinkled her nose and huffed.

Qin Chuan was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "What kind of woman would require the entire Qin Family's assets to marry? Aren't you the one with the sky-high dowry?"

"That's true, too." Qin Lan giggled. "Anyway, I don't want it."

The meeting place was at a Starbucks. The arrival of the Maybach was extremely eye-catching, and many people were curious about which Young Master had come to drink coffee.

And when they saw Qin Chuan and Qin Lan get out of the car, everyone's eyes lit up.

Qin Chuan was handsome, and Qin Lan was beautiful. The two looked a bit similar, and one could tell at a glance that they were siblings, which made both men and women feel a flutter of excitement.

There was even a woman dressed very gaudily who took the initiative to come up and strike up a conversation.

"Handsome, can I get your contact information?"

However, Qin Chuan completely ignored her.

"Just a bit handsome and rich, what are you acting so high and mighty for?" The gaudy woman cursed under her breath and left.

Qin Chuan and Qin Lan entered the Starbucks together. Yun Mei, who had a bit of a young matronly charm, waved her hand. "Lanlan, over here."

Qin Chuan and Qin Lan walked over toward that direction, and then discovered that besides Zhang Xin and Yun Mei, there were also three men...
