Chu Chen roared and raised his hand, intending to kill Lin Tianyu to vent his anger.
"Wait." Qin Hu grabbed Chu Chen's arm and said in a low voice, "This is Lin family territory. Let's not be impulsive and cause trouble."
"Even if I don't kill him, I'll cripple him. Otherwise, I won't be able to quell my hatred!" Chu Chen gritted his teeth.
"I understand! Leave it to me!" Qin Hu then lunged forward and slapped Lin Tianyu hard on the face.
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of the slap echoed, particularly jarring in the silent night sky.
Lin Tianyu was stunned by the slap. He clutched half of his face, which was swollen like a pig's head, and glared maliciously at Qin Hu. "You dare to hit me?"
"So what if I hit you? I'm telling you, you'd better pray you don't fall into my hands today, or I'll let you know why the flowers are so red!" Qin Hu cursed.
Lin Tianyu was enraged by these words, his eyes filled with venomous coldness. He roared, "Is your Qin family tired of living? Our Lin family is a branch of the imperial Lin clan! Dare to lay a hand on this young master, and your Qin family will suffer the consequences!"
"Pah! Our Qin family is an affiliated family of the Iron Fist Sect! What is your Lin family compared to that?" Qin Hu cursed.
"Don't forget, your Lin family has already been destroyed by the Iron Fist Sect! It's our Qin family in charge now!"
"What? What did you say?" Lin Tianyu's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe it was true.
"Bang!" Qin Hu kicked Lin Tianyu directly in the face, sending him flying backward. He fell to the ground, spitting blood, and almost fainted.
"Qin Hu, that's enough." Chu Chen stopped Qin Hu. "Since the Lin family has been annihilated, you don't need to worry too much. This kind of trash isn't worth getting angry over. Let's go."
"Alas, alright." Qin Hu shook his head. Although he felt very satisfied, he couldn't stay any longer.
"Wait..." Just then, Chu Chen suddenly called out to Qin Hu.
Qin Hu turned his head and looked at Chu Chen, asking in confusion, "Brother Chu, do you have any other instructions?"
Chu Chen pointed at Lin Tianyu, who was groaning in pain on the ground, and said indifferently, "He just said my father is a good-for-nothing. What do you think I should do?"
Qin Hu was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't registered. But when he came to his senses, a fierce expression appeared on his face. "I understand!"
Qin Hu waved his hand, and two burly men walked towards Lin Tianyu.
Lin Tianyu's face changed dramatically as he watched the approaching men, his voice filled with panic. "What do you want? I am the young master of the Lin family. Who dares to touch me?"
"Heh heh, young master?" one of the burly men sneered and grabbed Lin Tianyu by the collar. "Our Lin family's guard captain was assassinated by your men tonight. Are you still trying to use the Lin family to pressure us? Do you really think we're all fools?"
"The Lin family's guard captain, he's dead!?"
"How is that possible!" The common people on both sides of the street were all shocked!
Lin Tianyu looked at them with a pale face. "No... this is impossible! You're lying!"
"If you don't believe me, ask the Lin family yourself," the burly man sneered.
"Lin family members, tell us what's going on!"
"Our Lin family's guard captain was killed?"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Many people had gathered around, discussing animatedly. They clearly knew Lin Tiannan, the Lin family's guard captain.
"That's right! It's about this matter!" the two burly men said.
This news immediately caused a huge stir throughout Qingyang City! After all, the Lin family was one of the four great noble families of Qingyang Prefecture and a branch of the imperial Lin clan. Their guard captain had been killed?
"You're courting death!" Lin Tianyu roared furiously. "My father is a member of the imperial Lin clan! If you dare to harm me, you will surely die!"
"Hahahaha!" Qin Hu laughed heartily. "Our Qin family's ancestor is also a member of the imperial clan! Hasn't your Lin family always wanted to destroy our Qin family? I'm standing here right now, come on! Come and destroy us!"
"Qin Hu, you..." Chu Chen was terrified, his face pale. "Don't talk nonsense."
"Don't worry, Brother Chu! I'm telling the truth," Qin Hu patted Chu Chen's shoulder. "In the past, our Qin family feared the Lin family, so we endured it. If it weren't for our ancestor's protection, our Qin family would have been destroyed long ago! Our Qin family ancestors also helped the imperial clan, and our relationship with the imperial clan is inseparable. Even the imperial Lin clan would not destroy the Qin family for a mere Lin family!"
"Listen clearly! Lin Tianyu has a grudge against our Qin family, so we're killing him today. No one can blame us!" Qin Hu shouted, his voice echoing in the silent street, lingering for a long time!
"So that's how it is!" The surrounding common people suddenly understood.
"So it's Lin Tianyu who abused his power and bullied the weak!"
"Hmph! Trash like him deserves to be beaten!" The common people around discussed.
"Bastard! You scoundrel! I, Lin Tianyu, am a direct descendant of the Lin clan. How dare you run wild!" Lin Tianyu struggled frantically and cursed.
"Your Lin family is just a dog of the imperial clan, what are you so proud of?" Qin Hu said contemptuously. "If you're not convinced, come and retaliate against our Qin family!"
Before he finished speaking, Qin Hu slapped Lin Tianyu again, knocking him to the ground. This time, Lin Tianyu's mouth was bleeding, his head was tilted to one side, and he had already fainted.
"Let's go, Brother Chu, we need to leave here quickly," Qin Hu urged Chu Chen.
Chu Chen frowned and pondered, "I always feel something is not right. Lin Tianyu is a direct descendant of the Lin clan. How could he have fallen to become a stray dog?"
"Brother Chu, let's leave quickly," Qin Hu said anxiously.
"Mm." Chu Chen collected his thoughts and turned to leave.
"Young Master Chu, please wait a moment!" Suddenly, an anxious voice called out from outside the crowd.
A man in gorgeous brocade robes ran over from a distance. Seeing Qin Hu and Chu Chen, he quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said respectfully, "I am Li Yuntao, greetings to both of you, Young Masters Qin!"
"Oh?" Qin Hu was stunned for a moment, then recognized Li Yuntao. He narrowed his eyes slightly and, after a moment of silence, said, "You're from the Li family, aren't you?"
"Indeed." Li Yuntao smiled. "My father has some connection with your esteemed family's ancestor, Marquis Qin Wu, so I have come to visit specifically."
"Heh heh, Marquis Qin Wu? Our Qin family's ancestor is not someone that just any cat or dog can claim a relationship with," Qin Hu said dismissively.
"Uh, my father is Li Yuntao's father, Li Zhongyong, who is also a renowned expert in Qingyang City. I believe you might be interested," Li Yuntao said with a fawning smile.
Qin Hu's eyes lit up at this. Li Zhongyong was a Martial Master level expert. If he could get to know such an expert, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to his future development!
