Chapter Thirty-One: Standing Up Straight

  "Not bad!"

  Only seeing Yuwen Chenglin's condescending attitude, Guan Qiu didn't notice Guan Tan's ashen face and proudly said: "The Yuwen family? What is that supposed to be? It's just a small family, so what if they humiliated us?"

  Yuwen family, what's the big deal?

  This remark can probably be uttered by no one else in this world except for this ignorant young master of a wealthy family!

  "Bang!"

  Just as Ling Qingyan and Ximen Qianqian furrowed their brows, at the moment when Yuwen Chenglin and his old servant An Bo were about to take action, Guan Tan had already slapped a palm back, fiercely slapping it on Guan Qiu's face.

  This slap was also ruthless! Guan Qiu's mouth corner, due to this slap, even overflowed with bright red blood.

  "Grandpa Tan, you..."

  Guan Qi was stunned, completely stunned! He never thought that his beloved Grandpa Tan, who had always cared for him, would actually take action against him for the sake of his arch-nemesis and the nemesis's family!

  Tan Tan withdrew his trembling right hand, gave Guan Qiu a cold glance, and said in a slightly low tone, "If you say one more word today, don't recognize me as your Grandfather Tan from now on!"

  Wow!

  Upon hearing this, Guan Qiu's face changed slightly. He never expected that his grandfather's words would be so resolute! However, in an instant, he saw a hint of concern from the depths of Guan Tan's eyes... Although Guan Qiu was spoiled, he wasn't really stupid and knew that his grandfather wouldn't help outsiders without reason!

  Could it be that this time I've brought trouble upon myself?!

  But the Yuwen family, hadn't even heard of it! In a flash of thought, Guan Qiu's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly remembered what Guan Tan had just said to Yuwen Chenglin in front of him.

  "Young Master Yuwen's visit to the Great Qin State is not an easy feat, yet our household has failed to fulfill its duties as a host."

  It's not easy to come to China once, is it?

  Isn't the person who has ruined the two most important things for a man, not from the Great Qin State? Isn't the so-called Yuwen family, a family within the Great Qin State? Moreover, seeing Guan Tan's politeness towards Yuwen Chenglin, Guan Qiuxin had an epiphany and suddenly thought: "Could it be that the Yuwen family is on equal footing with the Mohist school in our own Great Qin State?"

  The more I think about it, the more certain I am!

  If it weren't for this, why would his own Grandfather Tan be so cautious with Yuwen Chenglin, and change so greatly when he heard that he had insulted the Yuwen family!

  "Yuwen young master, I apologize on behalf of our steward!"

  At this time, he suppressed his efforts and lowered his posture, but soon after, he raised his head again, with a stern expression flashing between his eyes. "However, as the saying goes, ignorance is bliss! My family's Fourth Young Master has indeed never heard of the Yuwen family from afar in Xiaoyu Country... Is Young Master Yuwen's actions not going too far?"

  Even at this point, Guan Tan still wants to get justice for Guan Qiu, and the position of Guan Qiu in his heart can be imagined.

  Jian Guan Tan was like this, and on the other side, Guan Qiu, who was ordered by him not to speak, was also moved in his heart.

  Although he hated him, Guan Qiu suppressed the hatred at this moment, and in his heart, he roared, "Yuwen Chenglin! Yuwen Chenglin! Even if you are a member of the Yuwen family, even if the Yuwen family is comparable to the Mo family, I will kill you one day!"

  Boundless hatred has filled Guan Yu's heart and soul! The seeds of hatred have been sown.

  "Oh," Yuwen Chenglin's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "Then according to Elder Yi's words, what should I do?"

  "The Yuwen family is a big family, and their momentum is also extremely large... Young Master Yuwen, just bow your head to my Fourth Young Master and apologize, that's all!" Guan Tan's voice was light, but his eyes were filled with a stern gaze. As he spoke, the sleeve of Guan Tan's robe had already puffed out, and his deep blue true energy was also dispersing from within...

  Obviously, this pipe is intended to intimidate!

  Ling Qingyan stood beside him, his expression calm and collected. However, at this moment, he felt the turmoil in An Bo's breathing beside him, and involuntarily took a step forward, saying in a low voice to An Bo: "An Bo, your injury is not healed yet, just let the young one take care of it."

  An Bo, having lived for several decades, couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Ling Qingyan's thoughts.

  Yuwen Chenglin also felt a chill in his heart when he sensed Guan Yan's aura at this moment, and secretly cursed, "This old housekeeper Guan, why is he so biased towards this young master of the Guan family... Could it be that he is his illegitimate son?!"

  Yuwen Chenglin, who would have thought that Guan Tan and Guan Qiu had a grandfather-grandson-like relationship.

  Just as Yuwen Chenglin was worried, a figure stepped out from the side and blocked his way. It was Ling Qingyan!

  Looking at the young man in front of him, Guan Tan furrowed his brow and slowly said: "This little brother, aren't you also trying to stir up trouble? Today, Yuwen Young Master must apologize to my family's Young Master! This isn't the attitude of the Guan Family, it's my attitude as Guan Tan!"

  With one word and one phrase, he completely distanced himself from Guan Jia!

  Ling Qingyan, a man of two lifetimes, how could he be afraid of such threats? However, he was also infuriated by Guan Tan's words and sneered: "Old fellow, don't rely on your age to bully others! Standing while talking doesn't hurt your waist!"

  "Plop!"

  Ximen Yunyun couldn't help but laugh first, she never expected that Ling Qingyan, who had always been extremely proper in front of her, would have such a side. Meanwhile, An Bo and Yuwen Chenglin on the side also had their faces filled with smiles.

  Yuwen Chenglin also saw the deep blue true energy surging in Ling Qingyan's right hand earlier! However, he wasn't worried about Ling Qingyan. The strength that Ling Qingyan showed when he saved him that day was even more powerful than An Bo's peak as a Blue Rank Late Stage Warrior!

  One sword, easily piercing through and killing the four-level demonic beast, Crazy Lion!

  One leg kicked another mad lion's head directly!

  Even a blue-level late-stage warrior would not be able to do it so neatly! Although Ling Qingyan's sword at the time, with his true power released from his legs, was only mid-grade green level, but Yuwen Chenglin knew that such an attack, even a green-level late-stage warrior could not achieve, let alone a mid-grade green level one.

  As for Ling Qingyan's strength, Yuwen Chenglin had always been skeptical. That was almost beyond the category of judging strong and weak by the color of one's true energy!

  At this time, Ling Qingyan also successfully enraged Guan Tan... In Guan Qiuxia's excited eyes, the deep blue true energy between Guan Tan's legs suddenly surged violently, and his right hand turned into a claw, swiping towards Ling Qingyan. The deep blue true energy between his five fingers revealed Guan Tan's extreme anger!

  How many years has it been? How many years has no one dared to speak to him like that?!

  Jian Guangtan took action, Yuwen Chenglin also supported An Bo who was still injured and retreated with Ximen Yunyun. Unlike Yuwen Chenglin and An Bo's calm faces, Ximen Yunyun's face was full of worry at this time.

  An Bo, through Yuwen Chenglin's narration these past few days, has also come to know of Ling Qingyan's strength. While feeling astonished, he is also filled with confidence in Ling Qingyan.

  Kexin was different, she didn't know that Ling Qingyan's strength was not much different from her age. These days of getting along, she also regarded Ling Qingyan as a big brother, and now she is worried!
