Free Web NovelChapter 1426: Chapter 1403: Kneel and Apologize!
"..."
The whole audience fell silent.
The senior members of the Qin Family were wide-eyed, utterly shocked.
Wasn’t Ling Luzhou supposed to be here to support the Qin Family?
Didn’t she walk over here to deal with Ye Huan?
How did it end up that the Qin Family’s Patriarch, Qin Fen, was the one she slapped?!
What the hell is going on?!
It’s important to know that Qin Fen is the head of the family, the supreme leader of the Qin Family, possessing infinite authority!
Him being slapped is equivalent to the entire Qin Family being dealt a loud slap in the face!
The elders and senior members of the Qin Family glared angrily, suppressing their fury, and said indignantly: "Miss Ling Luzhou, what are you doing? Please give us a reasonable explanation; otherwise, we’ll certainly go to the Six Guardians to complain about the oppressive actions of you and the Ling Family!"
Qin Fen also threw a questioning glare at Ling Luzhou, filled with overwhelming anger. As the person who received the slap, he felt incredibly aggrieved inside!
If it weren’t Ling Luzhou, the most favored daughter of the Ling Family patriarch, he would have retaliated long ago!
"Heh!" Ling Luzhou responded to them with just a disdainful sneer, "Endless Deep Mountains Decree Article 286: To ensure the healthy growth and eternity of young Ancient Martial Artists, and to prevent family feuds by slaughtering offspring of hostile families, potentially causing a crisis of extermination, it is strictly forbidden for family elders to take action against juniors without authorization! Otherwise, punishment is execution!"
"Your Qin Family head and the team of eighteen elders actually all took action against a young Ancient Martial Artist, yet still have the face to claim you’ll lodge a complaint against me and the Ling Family? Ridiculous!"
"If you dare to go to the Six Guardians and complain, the outcome will definitely be running up the mountain and lying in a coffin on the way back down!"
Ling Luzhou’s words caused the momentum of the furious Qin Family elders like Qin Fen to dissipate instantly, their gazes wandering around in guilt and emptiness.
After about three seconds, Qin Fen argued, "Ye Huan isn’t a person from the Deep Mountains! This decree doesn’t apply to him!"
"Yes, yes, yes, this decree doesn’t apply to Ye Huan!" The Qin Family elders seemed to have grasped a lifeline, echoing repeatedly and demanding an explanation from Ling Luzhou.
Ling Luzhou responded by delivering another resounding slap!
"Smack!!!"
This slap left a blood-red handprint on Qin Fen’s face!
Ling Luzhou’s eyes were as calm as water, and her words carried a sharp killing intent that stunned everyone present, "Why couldn’t my grandson, Ling Luzhou’s grandson, be a person from the Deep Mountains?"
Grandson?!
The whole audience was shocked, all eyes turning to Ye Huan.
Including Ling Fufu, who widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief, unable to comprehend that Ye Huan actually had such a connection with Ling Luzhou. Previously, when she saw Ling Luzhou, she was puzzled as to why her grandaunt was here!
Ye Huan glanced at Ling Luzhou, somewhat disbelieving, "You’re my grandmother? You look so young?"
Young indeed was a fitting term to describe Ling Luzhou.
Though Ling Luzhou was eighty-six, her skin bore not a single wrinkle expected of elderly folks, still appearing snow-like, soft as an infant’s, with rich black hair cascading like a waterfall down her back.
Overall, she seemed around thirty at most.
"Just like your grandpa when he was young, so sweet-talking, otherwise how could he have wooed me." Facing Ye Huan, Ling Luzhou instantly changed her demeanor, shedding her domineering aura for a smile and warmth.
This statement sent hordes of Divine Beasts rampaging in Ye Huan’s heart; Grandpa, sweet-talking?
Li Hentian, that rigid and detestable old guy, had he actually been quite sweet-talking in his youth?!
Utterly unimaginable!
It’s entirely impossible to reconcile his aloof image with that of a warm, sweet-talking persona!
Nevertheless, he did not doubt Ling Luzhou’s words.
In fact, upon first seeing Ling Luzhou, he felt a familiar sensation arising from his blood.
Moreover, due to the superior bone and blood toughness of Ancient Martial Artists far exceeding ordinary folks, the top-tier ones have physical traits an ordinary person couldn’t aspire to attain, thus aging far slower.
Aunt Cuihua was like that; despite being over a hundred, she appeared like a beautiful woman.
Before Ye Huan entered the Endless Deep Mountains, Li Hentian specifically reminded him to try finding his grandmother; unexpectedly, everything fell into place naturally.
He blinked and tentatively asked, "Grandmother, did you somehow know I would assault the Six Gate Sect, and you were waiting for me here?"
"Yes, truly clever." Ling Luzhou smiled sweetly, pinching Ye Huan’s cheek twice.
This caused several lines to emerge across Ye Huan’s forehead.
If Ling Luzhou appeared as an elderly woman, pinching his cheek would be somewhat fine.
However, Ling Luzhou looked just like a young girl, and her pinching felt incredibly out of place.
The reunion scene between grandmother and grandson was very warm, both of them in high spirits.
Meanwhile, Qin Fen and the senior elders of the Qin Family felt as if plunged into an icy hole, frozen in place, their eyes nearly bulging out in disbelief!
Even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn’t have guessed that Ye Huan was Ling Luzhou’s grandson!
Had they known, even lent a millionfold courage, a billionfold audacity, there’s no way they’d dare wage war against Ye Huan!
Who is Ling Luzhou? Fifty years ago, she was the Ling Family’s second prodigy, her martial arts talent reaching the pinnacle, additionally mastering the Ling Family’s Cyan Lotus Sword Technique!
So much time has passed, no doubt she’s a powerful Extreme Divine King level now!
And at the Extreme Divine King level, having mastered the Cyan Lotus Sword Technique certainly makes Ling Luzhou formidable enough to rival the leaders of third or fourth-tier families!
Attempting to slay Ling Luzhou’s grandson is practically a suicide mission.
Most critically, there seems to be a relationship between Ye Bingning and Ye Huan, while the Qin Family, smitten with Ye Bingning’s beauty, tried to coerce Ling Luzhou’s granddaughter-in-law into marrying Qin Shou, turning her into Qin Shou’s bed toy!
This behavior, if not pure suicidal, undoubtedly digs their grave deeper!
"Patriarch, what... what should we do now?" A Qin Family elder’s pants soaked, legs quivering with fear, appeared terrified of Ling Luzhou finishing him off.
Qin Fen cursed, "You’re asking me, how should I know?!"
While they murmured, Ling Luzhou raised her hand again.
Suddenly, another blood-red handprint appeared on Qin Fen’s face, making him feel fiery pain and endless humiliation, yet he could only swallow his anger.
The Qin Family wasn’t a match for the Ling Family, and besides, morally they were at fault here!
Coveting someone else’s granddaughter-in-law’s beauty led them to suggest the Six Gate Sect snatch her into the Deep Mountains... If this provoked Ling Luzhou further, the consequences would be unimaginable.
They might as well let her slap a bit, vent her anger!
"Apologize to him, and her!" Ling Luzhou coldly commanded Qin Fen, pointing at Ye Huan and Ye Bingning!
Qin Fen dared not procrastinate, bearing grievance as he addressed the two, "Apologies..."
Even before Qin Fen finished, Ling Luzhou shouted fiercely: "Kneel and apologize!"
"..."
Qin Fen hesitated for two seconds, finally kneeling before Ye Huan in utter resentment, bowing heavily, "Young Master Ye, Madam Ye, I’m sorry! I was wrong!"
"Young Master Ye, Madam Ye, we’re sorry, we were wrong!"
The senior elders of the Qin Family also followed Qin Fen’s lead, kneeling before Ye Huan and Ye Bingning at Ling Luzhou’s command, bowing their heads to apologize in a voice tinged with fear!
