Chapter 98: Explosion!

  "This..." Shangguan was furious with Qin Li in his heart, thinking that he had come to stir up trouble at this time. At the same time, he also had some resentment towards Shangguan Hongfei, knowing that Shangguan Hongfei and his father were on the same side, and was very dissatisfied with the decision to cancel the engagement. However, he couldn't quite grasp the thoughts of the Crown Prince, and hesitantly said: "Your Highness, isn't this a bit...? That young man's identity..." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered Zhao Longteng, the founding emperor of Qinglong Country, and immediately swallowed back his next words.

  Zhao Xinghe waved his hand casually and said, "No big deal. I've heard that he's someone who has cultivated the 'Only I Am Supreme' battle technique. Heh heh, don't be surprised when I say this, but the royal family has been studying this battle technique for a long time. It's a truly divine-level battle technique, powerful and overbearing. Unfortunately, so far, no one has been able to withstand three Nirvanas. So, I want to see if a miracle will happen on his body. Moreover, I heard that the entire Qin family was wiped out. Alas, the Qin family is also considered a prominent aristocratic family in Qinglong Country. It's really a shame. The two young masters of the Qin family are currently following my second brother. Heh heh, this Qin Li can be considered a member of the Qin family, right?"

  Shangguan's heart slightly trembled, the crown prince's words seemed careless, but actually revealed a problem. Yanjing is very far from Huangsha City, and yet they knew about this small matter of a private child so clearly. Moreover, he said Qin Feng and Qin Hu followed the second imperial son... There's some deep meaning in these words!

  From start to finish, Shangguan never regretted not treating the crown prince as a child. Born in the imperial family and under the spotlight of all, he received the best education from an early age. In terms of intelligence, how could he be inferior?

  "As for the Emperor, Qin Li has already been expelled from the Qin family. Moreover, before the Qin family was destroyed, they had even offered a reward of 100,000 taels of silver to capture this son. It is said that it was because half a year ago, Qin Li had stirred up trouble between the Mo and Qin families..."

  "Alright, you bring him over and I won't make things difficult for him." Zhao Xinghe slightly furrowed his brow.

  The superior showed a displeased expression when he saw the crown prince, but could only reluctantly have someone summon Qin Li. However, his heart was filled with anxiety and unease, as he didn't have the slightest bit of trust in Qin Li. At the grand banquet earlier, in front of all the high-society figures of Huangsha City, Qin Li had dared to behave so brazenly; would he suddenly become docile just because the person in front of him was now the crown prince?

  I hope he can be more honest! Magistrate Bu has a gloomy face, now in the Bu's house, he is the one who calls the shots. He absolutely does not allow anything that might ruin his plan to happen! If he knows what's good for him, then it's fine, otherwise... A hint of murderous intent flashes across Magistrate Bu's eyes.

  In this grand and luxurious dining hall, there were seven or eight tables in total. Half of them were the direct descendants of the Qin family, while the other half were the trusted followers brought by the Crown Prince. They had been chatting and laughing together before, but now they all fell silent, looking over here with rapt attention, wondering what was happening.

  After a while, Qin Li followed Huang Hongfei to the restaurant. On the way, Huang Hongfei repeatedly reminded him not to cause any trouble here.

  As soon as Qin Liyi entered the door, he felt several gazes on himself, among which one gaze was particularly gloomy, it was Shangguan Buqi. Qin Liyi glanced at him lightly and then looked at the crown prince mentioned by Shangguan Hongfei, seeing that he was curiously sizing him up, but there was no disdain or mockery in his eyes.

  Qin Li thought to himself: Indeed, a talented and handsome young man!

  "Qin Li, haven't you met the Crown Prince before!" Shangguan Bu regretted in a low and stern tone, with a hint of warning, immediately clarifying the Crown Prince's identity to prevent this little brat from pretending ignorance.

  "Oh?" Qin Li smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Xinghe saying: "Your Highness, you're doing well!"

  "How bold!"

  "How dare you!"

  "Still not kneeling down after seeing His Highness the Crown Prince!"

  "What an uneducated savage!"

  "The old man is really muddled, actually taking a liking to this kind of person."

  Apart from the first sentence which was spoken by Shangguan Wu, "Big picture, big courage" were the words of Shangguan Xuan Yu, the eldest son of the Shangguan family. This young master of the Shangguan household couldn't wait for his sister to become a member of the imperial family. He had been studying at the Imperial Academy and graduated this year at the age of 18 with a strength of rank 3 in the Xuan class. He was personally knighted by the Emperor and made a baron, although it's not hereditary, but in Qinglong country, he already has a noble status and can be considered a young and promising talent!

  This time the prince came, he was happier than anyone else. If this marriage can be successful, he would become the emperor's uncle! So he had a hundred kinds of dislike for Qin Li.

  As for the chatter afterwards, it was a group of Qin family's legitimate children and the Crown Prince's trusted subordinates who didn't make a sound because they hadn't even had time to speak when the Shangguan family took care of it.

  "Qin Li, do you know who you are dealing with? How dare you be so presumptuous!" shouted Shang Guan Bu Hui in anger.

  "It doesn't matter, it really doesn't." Zhao Xinghe's face wore a sincere smile, ignoring the attitudes of others, and looked at Qin Li with a smile: "I like people who are true to their feelings!"

  Qin Li also had a smiling face: "But I don't like smiling tigers!"

  Zhao Xinghe's smile froze on his face.

  "Qin, you're not welcome here! Get out of my house!" Officer Xuan Yu slammed his hand on the table, stood up and glared at Qin Li: "Did you hear that? You're not welcome here!"

  "Who is he? How can he be so ill-mannered?" Qin Li asked with a gentle tone and a slightly awkward expression.

  "You little beast, do you believe me? I'll have someone break your dog legs and throw you out right away?" Upper Official Bu was so angry that he didn't care about maintaining appearances in front of the Crown Prince anymore. This little brat didn't even give the Crown Prince any face, if he continued to stay here, things would only get more and more out of hand.

  "Throw me out?" Qin Li still had a smiling face: "Director Wang, you say it clearly, the marriage between Poet Yu and me, what right do you have to intervene? What kind of thing are you? Hmm? You announced... the engagement between Director Wang's daughter Poet Yu and I is cancelled, who do you think you are! You announced... who do you think you are? Break my dog leg... throw me out? Director Wang, try it!"

  "Ah! You... you dare to speak to me like that, it's infuriating! Come on, come on!" Magistrate Bu Nao was so angry that his seven orifices were smoking, and he roared: "Quickly, someone come and break this little brat's legs, then throw him out!"

  "I dare anyone!"

  Qin Li let out a loud roar, and his body suddenly flashed with a blue light. A powerful aura burst forth from his body, filling the entire banquet hall in an instant. The people closest to Qin Li, including Crown Prince Zhao Xinghe who possessed ninth-grade Xuan-level strength, all turned red-faced and retreated backward.

  The Crown Prince's guards reacted extremely quickly, instantly releasing their auras and swiftly surrounding Zhao Xinghe. They glared at Qin Li with piercing eyes, ready to strike him down on the spot if he made even the slightest move!

  These people were shocked and amazed, they had never felt even a hint of Yuan power fluctuation from Qin Li's body before, unexpectedly, he was actually a ground-level warrior!

  And he has an extremely special aura on him. Although he clearly looks like a low-level Earth-stage cultivator, his aura is almost the same as that of a high-level Heaven-stage strongman!

  The Shangguan family is not without top-notch experts, and at this time they are all in seclusion. Unless the family is facing a life-or-death crisis, they will not come out of seclusion.

  So, the numerous imperial guards around the crown prince were all nervously watching Qin Li's every move.

  "Qin Li, you're too arrogant! Don't forget, in the next twenty years, our Officer family will produce ten top-notch experts! Save some face for yourself, or it won't be good to meet again!" In the distant crowd, a young master from the Officer family couldn't bear the pressure of this aura and impulsively revealed the biggest secret of the Officer family.

  Shangguan did not regret it, and in his heart, he secretly thought that something was wrong. Indeed, the Crown Prince Zhao Xinghe's eyes flashed with a hint of unusual color. He just wanted to turn around and scold that young man for talking nonsense.

  But then Qin Li suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, your family has top-grade elixirs, in twenty years you can create ten Heaven-level experts who can rival the imperial family. But... what's the use? Now... aren't they already created?"

  "Qin Li, don't spout nonsense! My family is clean and honest, how could we have such a medicinal pill? In front of the Crown Prince, I dare not speak such disrespect. If our family really had such a pill, would we still be in this position?"

  Zhao Xinghe's expression changed slightly, but he also had to admit that Shangguan Wu's words, which were born out of urgency, dispelled some of the doubts in his mind. He thought it was possible that a member of that family was trying to scare Qin Li and was talking nonsense.

  "Qin Li, what do you want to do? Do you want to be an enemy of the Shangguan family?" Shangguan Xuan Yu looked at Qin Li coldly: "Even if you have good strength, don't forget that this is...the Shangguan family! You bastard! If you dare, try moving anyone here and see what happens! If I don't tear you to pieces, my name 'Shangguan' will be written backwards!"

  "Bang!"

  Another loud and crisp slap was fiercely slapped on Shangguan Xuan's face!

  Including Zhao Xinghe's bodyguards, no one saw how Qin Li made his move, only feeling a flash in front of their eyes, and then they saw Qin Li still standing in the same position as before. On the other hand, Shangguan Xuan Yu covered her mouth with her hand, looking at Qin Li with incredulity in her eyes. A mouth, a tooth accompanied by fresh blood, spat onto the ground, and then she said dazedly: "Qin Li, you bastard, how dare you..."

  "Bang!"

  Another slap, heavily slapped on You Xuan's other cheek!

  "You uncouth thing! Qin Li's eyes shot out a cold light, his face expressionless as he said: "If it weren't for the fact that I'm giving you face because of Shi Yu, with the way you just spouted nonsense, I should have killed you! Instead of slapping you twice to teach you a lesson, just like your equally uncouth father, do you understand?"

  "Look at you, Upper Official Bu Nu! I'm telling you, do you understand what I want to do? If not, think carefully! With your group of trash, dare to interfere with my affairs? Dare to make decisions for me and my woman? What are you worth?! When Shi Yu was ill, you abandoned her like a worn-out shoe, feared her like a snake or scorpion. Now that she's changed status, you're all coming over, thinking she's part of the Upper Official family, wanting to cling to the imperial family's leg... A group of blind, power-hungry small men!"
