31: Gossip! My mother-in-law's rebellious love history

As the commotion subsided, Qin Lang held Su Muyue's hand, walking side-by-side out of the coffee shop under countless complicated gazes.

The enrollment leaders sent by Kunlun Academy and Olympus Academy quietly departed after briefly checking the situation.

Before leaving, they specifically left two Special Recruitment Tokens for Su Muyue, who had missed the normal enrollment process, allowing her to report at any time.

Just as they stepped out of the coffee shop entrance, Su Muyue's Personal Terminal rang.

It was her father, Su Yuanshan, calling.

As soon as the call connected, a torrent of angry shouting erupted.

Su Muyue refused to back down, getting into a huge argument with her father over the phone about her insistence on choosing Qin Lang.

After hanging up, she angrily discovered that her Credit Chip had been directly deactivated.

Her cheeks puffed up with anger.

Qin Lang didn't try to comfort her. Instead, he leaned in gossiping, asking in a low voice.

"Hey, speaking of which, was your mother that rebellious back in the day?"

"Huh?"

Su Muyue was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and all traces of unhappiness vanished from her face.

All the previous grievances were instantly thrown to the winds.

Enthusiastically, she recounted the past events of her parents, which could be called a "romance," spilling everything out like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

It turned out that her mother, Shangguan Yan, was also a famously rebellious girl back then.

Ignoring the opposition of everyone in the Family, she insisted on marrying her father, Su Yuanshan—a "Blondie" who was poor at the time and utterly useless except for a face so handsome it angered both gods and men, and a sweet mouth that could talk the dead back to life.

Ultimately, it was only after Shangguan Yan became three months pregnant, making the matter irreversible,

that her maternal grandfather, Shangguan Hong, reluctantly agreed to the marriage with a darkened face.

After hearing this melodramatic tale, Qin Lang couldn't help but smile.

Like mother, like daughter.

This saying is indeed true.

At the same time, he became even more convinced that he was hundreds of times stronger than his future father-in-law, Su Yuanshan.

Seeing that Su Muyue was now facing a predicament similar to her mother's—having her financial resources cut off—

Qin Lang didn't hesitate, pulling a Chip from his pocket and handing it to her.

"Take it."

Su Muyue was somewhat confused.

"Why?"

Qin Lang forcefully placed the Chip, which contained the academy's reward resources, into her hand.

"I'll support you."

He only said those three words.

"My strength improves quickly, so resources won't be scarce in the future. Use it without any psychological burden."

Su Muyue stood frozen, looking at the Chip in her hand, then looking up at him, her face instantly flushing red.

But she still insisted stubbornly.

"This... this is only counted as a loan from you!"

The two walked out of the coffee shop, preparing to hail a Ride-share Car to head to Kunlun Academy.

"Screech—!"

A harsh sound of tires screeching rang out!

An extremely cool-looking red sports car executed an incredibly sharp drift, stopping precisely in front of them.

The car door opened.

A young man dressed in white clothes with gold patterns slowly stepped out. His appearance was handsome, but his thin lips made him seem somewhat mean-spirited.

With every step he took, invisible ripples spread beneath his feet, blooming into exotic Flame Lotuses.

"A Lotus Blooms With Every Step!"

Su Muyue's expression instantly darkened.

The young man ignored her, instead sizing up Qin Lang with a pair of extremely aggressive eyes, his tone filled with undisguised arrogance and disdain.

"He Family, He Ye."

"You, are you the hick who abducted my future sister-in-law?"

He pointed to the Flame Lotus that hadn't yet dissipated beneath his feet, as if showing off his proud cultivation.

"I am very curious. What qualifications do you actually have to stand beside her?"

Facing this blatant provocation, Su Muyue immediately stepped forward, blocking Qin Lang tightly behind her like a mother tiger protecting her cub.

"He Ye! Will you He Family people ever stop?!"

Qin Lang merely patted her shoulder lightly, signaling her not to worry.

He stepped out from behind Su Muyue, calmly looking at He Ye before him.

"You want to fight?"

"Hmph."

He Ye sneered. Without another word, a scorching Scarlet Red Lotus condensed in his palm!

"Take this move, Red Lotus Karma Fire!"

He gave Qin Lang no chance to react, raising his hand and slamming a palm strike fiercely toward Qin Lang's face!

Qin Lang's expression didn't change, but the moment He Ye attacked, his figure moved!

"Myriad Shadow Traces!"

In a flash of lightning, his figure suddenly blurred, strangely splitting into three!

He Ye's powerful and heavy palm strike passed through Qin Lang's figure without any resistance!

It was an afterimage!

Not good!

Alarm bells rang loudly in He Ye's heart, and he was about to retreat.

But everything was already too late.

The next second.

A terrifying, massive force that he could neither imagine nor resist solidly slammed into his chest!

"Bang!"

Even with the protection of Genetic Primal Energy, that overwhelmingly forceful power still swept through like a storm, causing the energy core inside him to churn and displacing his internal organs!

"Pfft—!"

He Ye felt a sweetness in his throat and violently spat out a large mouthful of blood!

His tall body was sent flying backward miserably, like a kite with a broken string, as if he had been struck head-on by a high-speed Maglev Train!

Finally, with a "boom," he fell heavily onto the ground more than ten meters away!

Su Muyue watched Qin Lang's profile with her mouth slightly open, her eyes shining astonishingly bright.

Qin Lang retracted his fist, not even bothering to glance at He Ye on the ground again.

He only gave a cold, contemptuous look, leaving behind a single judgment.

"Truly trash."

After speaking, he pulled Su Muyue and got into the Ride-share Car that had just arrived.

The door closed, and the car sped away.

Only He Ye remained, who had just struggled to sit up from the ground and hadn't even had time to catch his breath.

Hearing that dismissive comment, he felt a surge of Qi and blood rush straight to his head!

"Pfft—!"

Enraged once more, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
