"What do you want?"
"I'm telling you!"
"I'm a member of the Qin family!"
"If you lay a hand on me, the Qin family will never let you go!"
"Don't come any closer!"
"Don't you dare!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan staring at her, Qin Wan'er was instantly panicked.
She flailed her hands erratically, while also brandishing the Qin family's name, attempting to intimidate Zhou Xuan.
However, it was evident that Zhou Xuan paid no heed to her threats.
He still walked slowly to her and looked down at her from above.
"Don't try to scare me with your Qin family!"
"You know I don't care about that!"
"If you want to live, say something of value!"
"Otherwise, you'll be buried with the Li family today!"
"Alright, I'll cooperate!"
"Ask me whatever you want to know!"
"As long as I know it, I'll tell you everything!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Qin Wan'er, who had been scared out of her wits, naturally dared not hesitate in the slightest.
She quickly nodded in agreement!
"First question!"
"Was the Qin family's patriarch from ten years ago the same person as the current patriarch?"
"No!"
"The patriarch from ten years ago was the biological father of our current patriarch!"
"He retired three years ago and passed the position of patriarch to our current patriarch!"
"What was your old family's name ten years ago, and what is the current patriarch's name?"
"Our old patriarch's name was Qin Zhantian, and the current patriarch's name is Qin Huaiyu!"
"Qin Huaiyu?"
"She's a woman?"
Hearing Qin Wan'er's words, Zhou Xuan was somewhat surprised.
"That's right!"
"Originally, the position of Qin family patriarch was always passed down to males, not females!"
"But for some reason, our old patriarch never had a son!"
"With no other choice, he could only designate his only daughter to succeed him!"
"For this reason, the family had many reservations about the old patriarch!"
"However, fortunately, Miss Qin is very capable!"
"Even though she is a woman, her actions are in no way inferior to men!"
"Under her leadership, the Qin family's power has grown by leaps and bounds in the past three years!"
"It has even implicitly reached a point where it can suppress the other four great families!"
"To achieve this is harder than ascending to heaven!"
"After all, are any of the other four great families easy to deal with!"
"Especially the Fang family, which was the leader of the five great families ten years ago!"
"To achieve a reversal in family power within a mere three years!"
"Besides our Madam Qin Huaiyu, I dare say no one else in the entire Shangjing city could have accomplished this!"
As she spoke, Qin Wan'er's face revealed a hint of pride.
It was as if she was proud to have such a leader for her family!
"No matter how capable she is, she's still just a woman!"
"But that's right too!"
"Who told your old patriarch to do so many evil deeds!"
"For a scoundrel like him, it would be a miracle if he could have a son!"
"I won't allow you to speak of our patriarch like that!"
"So what if she's a woman?"
"Who says women are inferior to you men!"
"If you were to compare yourself to our patriarch, you probably wouldn't even be half as good as her!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Qin Wan'er, who had been behaving so obediently moments before,
suddenly stood up and began to refute Zhou Xuan with righteous indignation.
At this moment, she was like a fan girl defending her idol,
unwilling to allow anyone to denigrate her idol even in the slightest.
At this point, she had even forgotten her previous fear of Zhou Xuan.
"What about it if I say it?"
"I think you haven't quite understood the situation yet!"
"You are currently my prisoner!"
"Dare to speak to me like that, aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now?"
Hearing Qin Wan'er's words, Zhou Xuan merely glanced at her indifferently.
He then threatened her in a detached tone.
Indeed, Zhou Xuan's words had an effect.
After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, Qin Wan'er suddenly came to her senses about her predicament.
She quickly retracted her head and, like an ostrich, sank back to the ground.
"Second question, how many cultivators does your Qin family have?"
"What are their usual cultivation realms?"
"I really can't answer this question!"
"Because I'm not even sure how many cultivators our Qin family actually has!"
"I only know that our Qin family has a special team composed entirely of cultivators!"
"They are there to handle matters that ordinary people cannot,
and to ensure the safety of important Qin family personnel!"
"Like Uncle Hui, whom you just beat up earlier,
he is a member of this organization!"
"Then how many cultivators are there in your cultivation organization?"
"And what are their respective cultivation realms?"
Hearing Qin Wan'er's words, Zhou Xuan changed his line of questioning.
"I'm not sure how many cultivators are in this organization either!"
"But I remember when I was young, I accidentally overheard my grandfather talking to a man in black!"
"I don't remember the content of their conversation very clearly now!"
"I only remember that the man in black said something like, 'The Qin Guard Army already has over three hundred soldiers!'"
"'And the Qin Guard Army is the name of that cultivator organization in our family!"
"As for their cultivation levels,
you're asking too much of me!"
"I'm just an ordinary person, how could I know how strong they are!"
"If I could see, or know the ranks of those cultivators!"
"Do you think I would have provoked you earlier?"
Hearing Qin Wan'er's retort, Zhou Xuan was momentarily speechless.
"Then how about this!"
"Let's try asking in a different way!"
"Since you said your Uncle Hui is also part of that organization!"
"What is his position within that organization?"
"Is he a leader, or just a regular soldier?"
Seeing that he couldn't obtain any useful information from Qin Wan'er,
Zhou Xuan was about to give up and ask the next question.
But by chance,
his gaze inadvertently fell upon Lin Hui, whom he had just sent flying.
So Zhou Xuan had a sudden idea and decided to use Lin Hui as a unit of measurement to question Qin Wan'er.
Because Zhou Xuan knew that everywhere, strength would be respected.
In this way, as long as he figured out Lin Hui's position in the so-called Qin Guard Army,
Zhou Xuan could naturally gain insight.
And understand the general cultivation levels of the cultivators in the so-called Qin Guard Army.
"Neither!"
"Uncle Hui is special!"
"He serves as an instructor in the Qin Guard Army!"
"If we absolutely had to find a place for him in the Qin Guard Army,"
"his position would be in the middle tier of the Qin Guard Army!"
As expected, after hearing Zhou Xuan's question.
Qin Wan'er answered without thinking.
"Peak Shaping Realm, is considered the middle tier!"
"Then if someone is in the top tier of the Qin Guard Army, wouldn't they have at least Creation Realm cultivation?"
"As expected of one of the five great families of Shangjing city!"
"Such strength is truly terrifying!"
