"Father, I..." Luo Qianyu hesitated, her face filled with shame. She lowered her head, remaining silent.
Luo Qianshan took a deep breath, stared at Qin Yang, and slowly said,
"Little Qin, I brought you from the countryside to the capital. I treated you well. How could you repay kindness with enmity and steal my precious daughter?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qianyu's face turned ashen, her delicate body stiffened, and she raised her head in disbelief.
She couldn't believe Luo Qianshan would speak to Qin Yang in such a tone.
Qin Yang said calmly, "Qianyu is not your daughter."
A thick killing intent appeared on Luo Qianshan's face, his fury boiling over. "Nonsense! All of you, shut up!"
Luo Changfeng's face turned ashen, gnashing his teeth in hatred, but he had no evidence.
Chu Chen lowered his head, not daring to utter a word.
"Uncle Luo, I know you're upset, but this is the reality. Whether you admit it or not, you have to.
Qianyu is my wife, and she will be my wife for this lifetime."
Qin Yang said word by word, "Unless I die, no one will ever separate us!"
With that, he took Luo Qianyu's hand and left without looking back.
"Uncle Luo, please accept my condolences." Luo Chen also withdrew.
"Brother Luo, Qianyu is young and foolish. Please be understanding. Once she becomes the wife of the Saint King's Mansion,
she will naturally understand her responsibilities."
Luo Qianshan cupped his hands in a salute.
Although he was gnashing his teeth in hatred, he showed no trace of it on the surface.
"Yes, my nephew is too kind."
Luo Changfeng offered a perfunctory reply with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. He swept his gaze over the servants in the room and said sternly, "Disperse!"
The servants bowed nervously and quickly withdrew.
Only two people remained in the room.
Luo Changfeng sneered, "Nephew, rest assured. I will not go back on my promise to you. You can marry her."
"Thank you, Uncle Luo, for your approval." Luo Qianshan smiled and bowed.
"However, can you help me get rid of that brat? I'm afraid he'll be a nuisance!"
Luo Changfeng snorted, "Leave him to me."
Qin Yang, with Luo Qianyu, had just returned to their room.
Chu Chen immediately sidled up, a venomous sneer on his face. "Useless! You're lucky today.
You'll have a hard time from now on. I want to see if she can still protect you like this after she marries into the royal family!"
"Luo Qianyu, shouldn't we settle our score?" Qin Yang grinned.
"What do you want to do!" Luo Qianyu trembled all over and instinctively flinched back.
Qin Yang chuckled sinisterly, his eyes flashing with ferocious light. He grabbed Luo Qianyu by the collar and dragged her towards the bed.
"You useless wretch, how dare you be so presumptuous!" Luo Qianshan roared, drawing his sword to strike.
Qin Yang casually flicked his wrist, and a dagger flew out, accurately striking Luo Qianshan's sword-wielding right arm.
*Pfft!*
Blood splattered.
Luo Qianshan let out a pained cry, his sword-holding hand loosened, and the sword fell to the ground. The intense pain made sweat bead on his forehead.
"You little bastard, I won't let you off!" Luo Qianshan gritted his teeth.
Qin Yang squatted in front of him and grabbed Luo Qianshan's neck.
He said coldly, "Luo Qianyu is my wife. I'm not done with you."
Luo Qianyu struggled but couldn't move an inch. Tears streamed down her face. She finally knew fear.
"Luo Qianyu is my wife!"
Qin Yang roared, his wrist suddenly exerting force.
*Crack!*
A bone-cracking sound came from Luo Qianshan's neck.
Chu Chen was so scared he collapsed on the ground, a smell of urine filling the air.
"I warned you long ago, if you dare to pester my wife again, I'll kill you!"
Qin Yang kicked Luo Qianshan away and turned to smile at Luo Qianyu, "Wife, let's continue our wedding night."
Luo Qianyu nodded tearfully, a blush rising on her beautiful face.
Qin Yang embraced Luo Qianyu and lay down on the soft bed.
With the warmth and softness in his arms, he couldn't help but sigh, "So comfortable."
Luo Qianyu's face was as red as a sunset. She whispered, "Qin Yang, are you angry?"
"Angry? What do you mean?" Qin Yang was taken aback.
Luo Qianyu mustered her courage and whispered, "I told you, Qianchen and I already...
So... we're not suitable to be together... Don't misunderstand..."
Luo Qianyu's voice grew softer and softer, like a mosquito's hum.
Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, suddenly understood, and chuckled, "So that's why you've been avoiding me."
Luo Qianyu bit her red lip, lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm sorry for you, but I won't marry Luo Qianchen.
And I will never betray you."
Chu Chen, standing outside the door, overheard their conversation and was instantly enraged.
This damned useless wretch, daring to take advantage of Qianyu, deserved to die!
However, Luo Qianyu was his sister, so he couldn't interfere directly.
But if he were to stand by and watch his sister be humiliated, that was impossible!
With this thought, Chu Chen suddenly pushed open the door and sneered sinisterly, "Useless wretch, what do you think you're doing!"
Qin Yang turned his head and his expression changed drastically.
"Luo Changfeng, stop him quickly!" Luo Changfeng frowned and reprimanded, "Chu Chen, stop it!"
"Father! Why are you siding with outsiders! Qin Yang, this useless wretch, he's going to tarnish my sister's reputation!"
Chu Chen roared in anger, gesticulating wildly.
Qin Yang was amused. Was this guy sick? He and Luo Qianyu were having their wedding night.
What did it have to do with him? Why was he interfering?
Luo Qianshan stepped forward, blocking the space between Qin Yang and Luo Qianyu.
He stared at Chu Chen with a conflicted expression for a few seconds, then suddenly said coldly,
"Enough! Chu Chen! Have you had enough of this tantrum? This marriage was personally decreed by His Majesty the Saint Emperor. How can you object!"
As his words fell, Luo Qianshan raised his hand and slapped Chu Chen across the face from a distance, sending him flying several meters away.
Chu Chen clutched his cheek, his eyes flashing with venom.
He glared fiercely at Qin Yang and Luo Qianyu, gritting his teeth.
"Qin, you'd better pray that Qianyu never marries you!"
With that, he turned and ran.
Qin Yang shrugged, spreading his hands helplessly. "I really didn't touch her, not even a finger. I promise."
Luo Qianyu's face turned crimson with shame. She chided, "Who knows if you took the opportunity to grope me..." Qin Yang burst into laughter.
He hugged Luo Qianyu and gently patted her soft, tender cheek.
He said, "Stop overthinking. You're not fat, so there's nothing to grope."
Luo Qianyu rolled her eyes.
Qin Yang had broken through to the fifth level of Body Tempering, and his spiritual energy had increased significantly, allowing him to use it somewhat.
He took out a few Spirit Gathering Pills and put them into Luo Qianyu's mouth, then fed her a Marrow Cleansing Pill.
"I'll send you back to the sect first. I'm going into seclusion to cultivate and won't be back for a while.
If you encounter any trouble, remember to send someone to notify me," Qin Yang instructed.
Luo Qianyu nodded obediently. The next day, Qin Yang found an excuse and quietly slipped away alone, returning to Luoshui City.
He had to improve his strength, otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that Luo Qianyun wouldn't send people to assassinate him or hunt him down.
In the Luo family, within the Luoshui Hall.
Luo Qianyun paced back and forth anxiously, restless.
"Father, is there any news from Luo Qianyu?" Luo Qianyun asked.
Chu Chen shook his head, his tone filled with worry. "I can't contact her for now. I don't know if something has happened to her."
