448: Chapter 448 Exploitation: Who Says I Have No One Backing Me?

A terrifying pressure descended, and a surging aura locked onto Qin Wushang.

His brow furrowed as a middle-aged man suddenly blocked his path.

Accompanying the middle-aged man were a dozen or so youths.

Those youths were all dressed in silver-white battle armor that reflected brilliant light under the sun.

“White Immortal Guards!”

Xu Qinghe's Face darkened, and she quickly stepped forward.

“Stop!”

“The fault lies with King Bai Luo; it has nothing to do with Young Master Demon. You cannot twist the facts and ignore right from wrong.”

She shouted delicately.

The middle-aged man recognized Xu Qinghe's identity, and his brow immediately furrowed.

Why was she here as well!

It seemed that today's matter was related to her too!

“Elder Luo! Kill this dog!!!”

“Pfft...”

King Bai Luo was helped up in an incredibly wretched state, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

His chest had collapsed and more than half of his ribs were broken, all of which had been shattered by Qin Wushang.

“Young Master!”

Hearing this, Elder Luo's Face darkened, his expression becoming complicated.

“Humph!”

“King Bai Luo! Do you know why this Young Miss has looked down on you since we were children?”

Xu Qinghe snorted coldly and asked a question.

“You are always like this... just like today, a total waste!”

“When facing any situation, you have nothing without your Family; without your Family, you are nothing!”

“When encountering anyone, you can never solve things yourself and can only rely on your Family.”

“I, Xu Qinghe, despise people like you.”

She explained loudly, voicing the thoughts in her heart.

It was truly so; even though King Bai Luo was the son of the Immortal King Bai, she had always looked down on him.

“Xu! Qing! He!”

“Are you as shallow as those foolish women?”

King Bai Luo roared in anger.

He was covered in blood, and his body was trembling.

“If you touch him today, don't blame me for being impolite.”

“Him!”

“I am determined to protect!”

Xu Qinghe shouted.

She spread her arms and blocked Elder Luo's path; at the center of her brow, a mark began to glow.

That was the mark of an Immortal King.

Although Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm were rare, Xu Qinghe happened to have an Immortal King for a father, and her father also had a Revered Master who was at the Immortal King level.

Elder Luo felt very conflicted.

“Miss Xu!”

“Fighting is prohibited within Baixian City. He has broken the rules, and we must deal with him.”

He spoke, wanting Xu Qinghe to make way.

“Then deal with him too!”

“The two of us were strolling here perfectly fine, and he was the one who came out to cause trouble!”

“He is the real culprit!”

“You can't shield him just because he's your Family's Young Master, can you?”

“How would that convince the public?”

Xu Qinghe's words were sharp, and she had no intention of backing down.

She was determined to protect Qin Wushang today.

“You dog!”

“Weren't you very impressive? Why are you letting a woman stand in front of you now!”

King Bai Luo roared.

He stared fixedly at Qin Wushang, wishing he could skin him alive and swallow him whole.

“What's wrong with being protected by a woman?”

“I'm just afraid your mother won't protect you.”

Qin Wushang smiled indifferently.

Such words shocked the crowd once again, yet they also felt amused.

“Come to think of it, this person is said to... uh, it seems he really has been motherless since he was a child.”

“Didn't you see his expression? Tsk tsk, I've never seen such a furious look!”

“I wonder who is behind this guy who looks so evil yet is so powerful, to be able to gain the favor of the Xu Family's Fairy Qinghe.”

“The always lawless King Bai Luo has really kicked a steel plate today.”

The crowd whispered among themselves.

Hearing those discussing voices, King Bai Luo felt like his lungs were about to explode from rage.

“Shut up!”

“Good! Good! Good!”

“Xu! Qing! He!”

“Remember this, I won't touch him today, but not because my Bai Family fears your Xu Family.”

“It's to give you Face, because I, King Bai Luo, still cherish our past and still like you.”

He shouted, flicking his sleeves and leaving.

Elder Luo's expression was somewhat unsightly, but with a flash of his silhouette, he also quickly departed.

“Disperse, everyone disperse!”

Seeing that their Revered Master had no reaction and didn't strike, the White Immortal Guards quickly dispersed the crowd.

Xu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

“Were you scared?”

She turned back and asked Qin Wushang.

“Why should I be scared?”

Qin Wushang smiled and asked back.

“Not scared?”

“That was the Bai Family... the son of the Immortal King Bai. You have no background in this Immortal Realm; are you truly not afraid?”

Xu Qinghe was somewhat puzzled.

An Immortal King in the Immortal Realm was an existence like the heavens.

Yet he wasn't afraid.

“Firstly... this was what you wanted; I merely gave you a hand, that's all.”

“Is this not what you wanted to see?”

Qin Wushang smiled indifferently.

“Fairy Xu.”

“From the moment you encountered him and decisively grabbed my hand, you already had the intention of using me.”

As his words fell, Xu Qinghe's expression changed.

He really was different.

He had actually seen through her scheme so easily.

This was ten thousand times more powerful than that piece of trash King Bai Luo, who only knew how to rely on his Family.

“I'm sorry...”

“I indeed intended to use you to get rid of that fellow King Bai Luo's pestering.”

Xu Qinghe apologized and directly admitted it.

Not only was she not unhappy that her scheme had been exposed, but she also felt that the man before her was increasingly pleasing to the eye.

“But even so... were you so certain I would definitely protect you?”

“What if I couldn't withstand the pressure and abandoned you?”

She added the question, voicing the doubt in her heart.

Could he also be interested in her?

Otherwise, why would he be so bold as to help her even while knowing he was being used?

This was offending the entire Bai Family.

“Heh.”

“Firstly, the Xu Family that Fairy Xu belongs to is not weaker than any Bai Family.”

“Based on that alone, you wouldn't easily abandon your ally.”

“Secondly, I believe in Fairy Xu's character.”

“And furthermore...”

“Who said I don't have a background in the Immortal Realm?”

After Qin Wushang finished speaking, he strode forward.

These words undoubtedly froze Xu Qinghe in place.

“He means... he has a background?”

Xu Qinghe's expression changed, feeling it was inconceivable.

Could there still be members of the True Demon Race in this world?

“Wait for me!”

Xu Qinghe quickly caught up, shouting anxiously.

...

On the other side.

Inside a luxurious room.

It was magnificent and opulent.

King Bai Luo, whose Face was somewhat swollen, furrowed his brow while looking at the images before him, his fist clenching slightly.

“As expected... I knew you, Xu Qinghe, wouldn't take a liking to a man so easily.”

“I didn't expect you were actually using this dog to deliberately provoke me.”

He murmured softly.

Beside him, Elder Luo watched the two people in the images and listened to those words, his brow tightening.

“Young Master... that being said, this young man in the black robe is not simple.”

“His aura is somewhat like the True Demon Clan recorded in ancient books, and his strength is extremely terrifying... judging by what he said, he also has someone behind him.”

“Should we still take action?”

He was somewhat wary.

A Prodigy suspected to be from the long-vanished True Demon Clan said he wasn't without backing.

The way the other party was so calm just now made it almost a certainty.

He simply didn't fear any Immortal King Bai.

“Observe for a while first...”

“Oh, right!”

“Help me contact Feng Xuanye, as well as Ye Weiliang and Bai Jutang; have them come over.”

“I am not his match... heh, but this Young Master has plenty of friends!”

King Bai Luo snorted coldly.

Offending him and wanting to live comfortably in this Baixian City was an absolute impossibility.
