Chapter 127 The Price
Chapter 127 The Price
"I...I understand!"
Xiao Xueqing's delicate body trembled, but at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief.
Given her third uncle's actions, even if Qin Chuan really wiped out the Xiao family, the Xiao family wouldn't have any complaints.
This is what happens when you offend a terrestrial deity!
It's already a stroke of luck that they only wanted Xiao Sen's corpse.
Xiao Xueqing quickly conveyed Qin Chuan's message.
"Father, Mr. Qin only wants my third brother's body!" Xiao Ran said.
"I understand," the old man nodded.
Xiao Sen wept bitterly in despair, filled with remorse, but there's no going back in this world.
He was the one who informed the Xiao family of Qin Chuan's death, and he was also the one who wanted to go to Jingbei University to kidnap Qin Lan and make her his own possession. He even considered torturing her.
Now the price has been paid!
In less than an hour, the Xiao family delivered Xiao Sen's body to the villa. The people who personally delivered it were the old man, Xiao Ran, and Xiao Chuan.
"Mr. Qin, it's all my fault for failing to raise my son properly. I hope you won't blame the Xiao family!" The old man said, tears streaming down his face.
Qin Chuan remained expressionless, glanced at the Xiao family patriarch, and said calmly, "I can spare your Xiao family's lives for Xiao Xueqing's sake."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Qin!" The old man and the others were all moved to tears.
As for Xiao Sen's corpse, Qin Chuan flicked his finger, and a fireball was sent flying, burning Xiao Sen's body to ashes.
This technique only shocked Grandpa Xiao and his group; he truly deserves to be called a terrestrial immortal.
Xiao Ran suddenly remembered something and whispered, "Mr. Qin, according to my third brother, he asked a girl from Jingbei University to help lure your sister out..."
Soon, the Xiao family left, and Xiao Xueqing originally wanted to leave as well.
"Could you help take care of my sister?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Okay," Xiao Xueqing readily agreed.
Although her third uncle died, she did not blame Qin Chuan; it was entirely her third uncle's own fault.
If this were a more temperamental terrestrial deity, they probably would have wiped out the entire Xiao family.
Moreover, staying to take care of Qin Lan is also a step for Xiao Xueqing to get closer to Qin Chuan.
This allowed Grandpa Xiao and the others to leave with smiles on their faces. While there is affection among martial arts families, it is not a large one. The death of Xiao Sen could bring them closer to Qin Chuan, which is perfectly acceptable.
In terms of emotions, we can take the Qin family as an example. Without martial arts value and without making any contribution to the family, they are actually a burden in the eyes of such a martial arts family.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Sen was nothing but a good-for-nothing to the Xiao family.
Subsequently, Qin Chuan reinforced the villa's formation. Although the formation was still not considered advanced, it would still be very difficult for martial artists on Earth to break it.
After setting up the formation, Qin Chuan disappeared from the villa.
Peking University.
Yun Mei has been somewhat absent-minded these past few days because she has been feeling guilty towards Qin Lan.
The martial arts world was in turmoil, but she was completely unaware of it.
This is because Yun Mei's family is too low-level; the entire family has only produced one low-level martial artist, and it can't even be considered a martial arts family.
She is just an ordinary person.
She would glance at Qin Lan's spot every now and then, but it remained empty.
"Yunmei, what's wrong with you?"
A rather handsome young man walked over. He was still very interested in Yun Mei and had been pursuing her relentlessly lately.
Moreover, this handsome young man is also a martial artist.
"You've seemed preoccupied lately, has something happened?"
"Tell me anything you need to do. As you know, I'm a martial artist, and I have a martial arts family behind me. There's nothing I can't handle!"
The boy was full of confidence; dealing with ordinary people's affairs was a piece of cake for him, given his status.
There are other martial artists at Jingbei University, but they are a minority. He could easily dominate the place.
"Liu Qiwen, do you... know what's been happening in the martial arts world lately?"
Yun Mei thought for a moment and then asked, "For example... about the Xiao family?"
"Yunmei, why are you asking this?" Liu Qiwen asked, looking puzzled.
"It's nothing, I was just asking." Yun Mei thought to herself that she was asking for nothing, what could possibly happen in the martial arts world right now?
That old man was incredibly powerful that day, and Qin Chuan was already dead, so it's estimated that he didn't cause a ripple in the martial arts world.
The martial arts world is in turmoil today, but ordinary people are completely unaware of it.
"But you've come to the right person."
Liu Qiwen was just worried about not having a chance to show off: "The martial arts world is in turmoil today! The Xiao family has been wiped out!"
"What?!" Yun Mei was stunned, her face gradually turning panicked.
"You...you said the Xiao family was wiped out?"
"Yes!" Liu Qiwen nodded. "This is no secret anymore. The entire martial arts world is talking about it, and my family has talked about it too."
Yun Mei was about to say something when a figure suddenly appeared at the classroom door.
The familiar figure filled her eyes with terror, and her delicate body began to tremble.
"Yunmei, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Qiwen looked puzzled. They were having a good chat, and suddenly he looked very scared, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Then, following Yun Mei's gaze, he saw a young man standing at the classroom door. He was very handsome and had a great presence.
"Who are you? Get out of here right now! If you scare Yun Mei, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Liu Qiwen was extremely arrogant.
Liu Qiwen's arrogance was already commonplace in the class; he was someone no one dared to provoke.
However, everyone looked curiously towards the classroom door, where an extremely handsome young man stood, with long flowing hair, looking like a handsome man from ancient times.
"Could this handsome guy be here to pursue Yun Mei?"
"What a pity, Yunmei's suitor is Liu Qiwen, who dares to compete with him?"
"You'd better leave now. If you're not careful and offend Liu Qiwen, you'll regret it."
"..."
Everyone started discussing it.
Another kind-hearted person approached the young man and advised, "That's Liu Qiwen. You can't afford to offend him. You should give up pursuing Yun Mei."
In everyone's eyes, Qin Chuan was most likely Yun Mei's object of affection.
But only Yun Mei knew that this was not the case at all.
Zhang Xin was also taken aback when she saw Qin Chuan, then sighed softly and said nothing.
"Aren't you going to get lost?"
Seeing that Qin Chuan remained unmoved, Liu Qiwen became somewhat annoyed and strode aggressively toward the classroom door.
Boom!
But at that very moment, a powerful aura pressed down.
thump!
Liu Qiwen was unable to withstand this momentum and immediately knelt down on the ground.
Yun Mei said in terror, "I had no choice. I was forced into it. If I didn't do this, Xiao Sen wouldn't let me off the hook."
"I can't afford to offend Xiao Sen at all. You can't blame me; it's all Xiao Sen's fault. I'm a victim too..."
Before he could finish speaking, a burst of energy shot towards him.
The next second, Yun Mei seemed to freeze in place; her skin aged and her hair turned white.
In just a few breaths, a beautiful young woman had transformed into a frail old lady…
