Jiang Xueqi’s hand froze in midair.
Her expression turned increasingly ugly.
That’s right.
Since childhood, the most criticized aspect of her had been her inability to practice martial arts.
And this world happened to be one where martial arts reigned supreme.
This was the reason she still couldn’t take over the family’s martial arts business and could only run a pharmaceutical company.
But…
But…
That didn’t mean others could use it to mock her!!
Her scar was torn open.
Jiang Xueqi’s eyes instantly reddened, and she bit her lip as she cursed at Qin Luo, “You bastard, you’re asking for death!!!”
“Bastard??”
Qin Luo seemed to have heard something interesting.
He smiled disdainfully. “You curse someone for telling the truth? Eldest Miss Jiang, are you being unreasonable?”
“Stop wasting words. This vase belongs to my young lady!”
“Shen Fei, swipe the card!”
With that, Qin Luo lifted the vase and handed it to Shen Fei beside him.
“Got it, Brother Luo!”
Shen Fei took the vase, glanced first at Jiang Xueqi, then at the arrogant Qin Luo.
Admiration surged in his heart.
As expected of the favored red man by Eldest Miss’s side. That aura! So fierce!!
Seeing this, Jiang Xueqi clenched her teeth in anger. “You! You!”
Wang Yong saw this and knew it was time for him to step in and play the hero.
A mere lackey, he could handle it easily, right?
With that thought.
Wang Yong confidently stepped forward and said unhurriedly, “Hold on.”
As his voice fell.
Swish, swish, swish!
Everyone turned to look at Wang Yong.
He walked over to Jiang Xueqi, enjoying the attention.
The latter looked at him, somewhat hesitant. “Wang Yong… you…”
“Don’t talk. I’ll handle everything.”
Wang Yong flashed what he thought was a handsome smile.
Jiang Xueqi’s heart trembled.
That smile seemed so reassuring to her.
Although Wang Yong was usually unreliable, her father said he was very skilled.
He could even solve her constitution problem.
Maybe… she should trust him!
With that, Jiang Xueqi shut her mouth and quietly watched Wang Yong perform.
When Shen Fei saw Wang Yong, his expression changed. He lowered his head and whispered to Qin Luo, “Brother Luo, this guy is at least an Established realm.”
Qin Luo nodded slightly.
Then he looked with interest at the Chosen One of this world, Wang Yong.
“And you are?”
Qin Luo first looked at Wang Yong kindly, putting on a calm and composed demeanor.
Wang Yong thought that Qin Luo had learned from the underling beside him that he was a member of the Established realm and was afraid.
To show off in front of the girl, Wang Yong shook his head and sneered, “I’m Jiang Xueqi’s bodyguard. Your young lady wants this vase, and my young lady wants it too.”
“How about this: put the vase down, and I’ll only cripple your limbs.”
“As for the rest of your underlings, I’ll just paralyze their lower bodies.”
The reason Wang Yong was called Yama was that his moves were all killing blows.
Any encounter meant death!
Shen Fei’s expression darkened. Someone actually dared to threaten them. “You!”
“Heh.”
However, before Shen Fei could act.
Qin Luo chuckled and shook his head. “I thought it was someone impressive.”
As he spoke, he unhurriedly walked toward Wang Yong.
Then, standing less than ten centimeters in front of him, with the other frowning, he taunted, “Just a shabby bodyguard. Since when do you, a piece of trash, get to talk here?”
With that.
Under Wang Yong’s stunned expression.
Smack!!
Qin Luo raised his hand and slapped him.
Buzz… !
Wang Yong’s head tilted to the side, his eyes wide, his mind instantly blank.
I… got hit?
It wasn’t that Wang Yong couldn’t dodge, but that he didn’t think Qin Luo would dare to hit him.
After all, he had made such an imposing threat. Anyone would have to think twice about whether he was bluffing, right?
But what happened??
You actually hit me??
Jiang Xueqi’s face turned pale.
Huh?
You actually hit him?
Why didn’t Wang Yong dodge? Was he just bluffing earlier??
Shopkeeper Xu shrank behind the counter, gasping.
This unreasonable guy really hit him…
It’s over, it’s over. This will lead to trouble. No, no, I have to notify the president immediately!
With that, he quickly pressed a button under the counter.
At the same time.
The system sent a task completion notification.
『Congratulations, Host, for humiliating the Chosen One “Wang Yong!”』
『Reward obtained: Taixuan Thirteen Needles + Xuantie Silver Needle Set!!!』
Taixuan Thirteen Needles: A lost acupuncture technique of the Taixuan Sect, said to be capable of reviving the dead and regrowing flesh when cultivated to its peak!!
Xuantie Silver Needle Set: A supreme artifact forged to complement the Taixuan Thirteen Needles!
Wang Yong gradually came back to his senses.
He gently touched his face, which burned with pain.
Suddenly.
A surge of murderous intent erupted from his chest.
He slowly turned to Qin Luo and said, word by word, filled with killing intent, “You… dare to hit me?”
As his voice fell.
Smack!!
“Ah!”
Qin Luo slapped him across the other cheek.
After the slap.
Under the stunned gazes of Jiang Xueqi and Wang Yong.
Qin Luo smiled disdainfully. “So what if I hit you?”
He said word by word, “You loser.”
As his voice fell.
!!!!!
Wang Yong’s breathing became a little rapid.
Fine, fine, fine. As Yama, he had never felt such rage before.
He looked at Qin Luo, raised his hand, and swung violently, roaring, “You’re dead!!”
“Brother Luo!”
Shen Fei rushed forward, but he was too late.
Just when everyone thought Wang Yong would succeed.
“Pfft!”
Blood coughed from Wang Yong’s mouth.
His fist stopped three centimeters from Qin Luo.
“What’s wrong, trash?”
“Can’t circulate your true qi properly, can you?”
Qin Luo pushed his fist aside, his expression scornful.
Taixuan Thirteen Needles activated! In an instant, all of Wang Yong’s meridians were blocked!
With that.
Smack!!
He slapped Wang Yong again.
Taunted, “Keep screaming!”
“You’re not…”
Smack!!
“You don’t…”
Smack!
“You…”
Smack!
“…”
Smack!!
Splat!
Blood from Wang Yong’s mouth was flung onto Jiang Xueqi’s face.
“Ah!!!”
Jiang Xueqi covered her face and kept wiping, but she couldn’t get it clean.
Helplessly, she screamed hysterically, “Wang Yong!! You useless trash!! You talked so big, but you’re nothing but a coward!!”
“Aren’t you my bodyguard!?! You useless coward!!”
By then, Wang Yong had realized something was wrong with his body.
Meridians blocked, true qi not flowing.
When had his acupoints been sealed??
Damn it, his acupoints were sealed, his hands couldn’t move, and he couldn’t unblock them.
Damn it!
This big-breasted, brainless woman was just standing there screaming and yelling, not even knowing to call for help!
Idiot!
Qin Luo felt he had taught him enough of a lesson. He stopped and was about to pack up the vase and leave when.
Suddenly.
A steady voice came from outside. “Everyone, stop.”
“Little brother, do this for me.”
As the voice fell.
Everyone looked toward the door.
There.
A man with an imposing presence and a gentle smile walked in.
“President!”
Shopkeeper Xu quickly came out from behind the counter and respectfully explained everything.
“This man is Long Dingtian. At just 28, he single-handedly built the famous Antique City Association in Jiang City. Rumor has it he has deep ties with the Long family of the royal city.”
“Even our family head respectfully calls him President Long when they meet.”
Shen Fei quickly explained the newcomer’s identity to Qin Luo.
Jiang Xueqi’s eyes lit up. “Brother Long!!”
As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Qin Luo. That damned bastard was done for this time.
Long Dingtian stood between Qin Luo and Wang Yong, who was coughing blood on the floor.
He smiled gently at Qin Luo, his tone brooking no argument. “Little brother, Wang Yong and I have some connection.”
“How about, for my sake, you kneel and apologize, and leave the vase behind.”
“Consider this matter settled.”
As soon as he said this.
Jiang Xueqi complained, “Brother Long, I also want to cripple that bastard’s dantian! Let him never practice martial arts!”
Long Dingtian smiled, turned helplessly, and said, “Xueqi, be good. Just letting him apologize is enough. Crippling someone’s cultivation is too much.”
With that.
Long Dingtian looked kindly at Qin Luo. “Little brother, what do you think? For my sake, do as I say.”
Although Long Dingtian smiled, his words carried arrogance and finality.
After all, in his view, giving face to Qin Luo was because the other was a follower of the Eldest Miss of the Su Family, and that Eldest Miss was a terror of Jiang City.
He didn’t want to completely provoke her. Afterward, the Jiang family would naturally go after the Su Family.
Shopkeeper Xu also looked at Qin Luo with a hint of schadenfreude.
Hmph, no matter how arrogant you are, you’ll have to tuck your tail between your legs in front of our president, right?
Shen Fei swallowed nervously and whispered to Qin Luo, “Brother Luo, what now? Should I kneel instead?”
“Heh, what now?”
However.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations.
Qin Luo just laughed coldly, then looked disdainfully at Long Dingtian, whose expression stiffened, and taunted, “A waste of a bastard son kicked out of the main family dares to bark here?”
“Face? What is face?”
“Who do you think you are, asking my young lady to give you face?”
“Don’t you think… you’re too full of yourself!!”
As his voice fell.
Smack!!
Qin Luo suddenly swung his hand.
The crisp sound echoed throughout the room.
Everyone was stunned.
Long Dingtian’s mind went blank as his face twisted to the side… where it burned fiercely.
