"Zhang Fan, didn't you hear what my grandfather just said? Hurry up and take your hand off my sister. She is about to be betrothed to the young master of the Bai family. You mustn't tarnish the reputation of our Qin family." Qin Junhao saw that Zhang Fan was completely unfazed by the news and couldn't help but shout.
Influenced by his father, Qin Junhao deeply disliked his uncle and second uncle's families. Especially towards Qin Luoshui and Qin Mo, who were his contemporaries, they had always performed better than him since childhood and were more favored by their grandfather, which made him feel jealous and resentful.
Now, seeing Qin Luoshui being used as a tool for a political marriage with the Bai family, he was naturally extremely happy and fully supported this union.
Although Qin Junhao had witnessed Zhang Fan's strength, knowing he was indeed very powerful, even stronger than Wei Xiaowen, and that Zhang Fan acted quite recklessly, having crippled Qi Jun, Chen Yilong, and others, Qin Junhao believed that Zhang Fan would absolutely not dare to act against him.
It wasn't because he was a young master of the Qin family, but because he was Qin Luoshui's cousin. Even if their relationship wasn't great, there was still a blood tie between them.
He believed that as long as Zhang Fan still harbored feelings for Qin Luoshui, he would definitely not attack him.
However, this time Qin Junhao was mistaken.
...
Zhang Fan held Qin Luoshui's slender waist with one hand, and they leaned against each other intimately, envied and hated by many young men present.
After all, whether it was her appearance, talent, or family background, Qin Luoshui was undoubtedly among the top in Yan Jing. Many admired her, but few dared to make any moves. To pursue the Qin family's beloved daughter, one had to first weigh whether they had the capability.
Upon hearing Qin Junhao's shouts, Zhang Fan didn't even look at him, completely ignoring him.
The Qin family members were all watching Zhang Fan at this moment, each with their own thoughts.
Qin Luoshui's father and mother were still very pleased with Zhang Fan, and they could also see that Qin Luoshui liked Zhang Fan very much.
However, as the eldest daughter and darling of the Qin family, despite being doted on daily, Qin Luoshui had no say in matters of marriage.
Sometimes, even her parents had no say.
Therefore, when Qin Zhengming and Li Songlan heard the old man's words, their hearts were filled with complex emotions. Qin Zhengwen couldn't help but exclaim, "Dad, how come we didn't know about Luoshui's engagement to the young master of the Bai family?"
Qin Tuyi, who had been smiling at everyone, turned his head upon hearing Qin Zhengwen's words. The smile on his face gradually faded, turning cold. "Does that mean I have to discuss every decision with you from now on?"
Seeing his father's stern expression, Qin Zhengwen's heart skipped a beat. Even though he had long since grown into a prominent figure capable of handling affairs independently, he still dared not defy the old man.
He knew that the old man had probably made up his mind. It would be futile even if he disagreed, so he stepped aside and remained silent.
Qin Shuming stood by, and upon hearing the old man's words, he cast a glance at his second brother, shook his head, and let out a scoff, making Qin Zhengwen's expression even more grim.
Feeling disrespected by Zhang Fan's disregard, Qin Junhao's face, which had been slightly playful, turned cold. He glanced at his grandfather, and seeing that he made no move to stop him, he gained confidence. He then berated Zhang Fan, "Zhang Fan, our Qin family does not welcome you. Please leave immediately."
"Who do you think you are, to dare to yell at me like that?" Zhang Fan finally looked directly at Qin Junhao and said with a sneer.
"If you dare to yell at me again, do you believe I won't beat you until you look like a pig?"
"What an idiot. Does he really think that because he has Qin Tuyi backing him, Master Zhang won't dare to touch him?" Qi Xiangyu stood in the crowd, looking at Qin Junhao who was shouting next to Qin Tuyi, and cursed inwardly.
Even his master, Xia Jihuo, a Saint Domain level expert, was extremely cautious and respectful in front of Master Zhang. Yet, Qin Junhao dared to shout at Master Zhang. If the big shots of the Chinese martial arts world saw this, they would all admire his courage and be amazed by his ignorance.
"Hmph, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're good at fighting. They call you Master Zhang out of respect, but to me, you're nothing..." He had been provoking Zhang Fan, and neither his grandfather nor his father had stopped him. He vaguely understood that this was likely their sentiment, so Qin Junhao, regardless of how powerful Zhang Fan was, spoke his mind.
However, before he could finish speaking this time, Zhang Fan directly slapped him across the air.
"Noisy!" Zhang Fan didn't even get up. With a crisp slap, a bright red palm print appeared on Qin Junhao's face. He was sent tumbling to the ground, momentarily stunned.
With Zhang Fan's current strength, no one present could even see his movements clearly. Even Qi Xiangyu, a late-stage Innate Grandmaster, looked bewildered.
Of course, Zhang Fan had been restrained. Otherwise, with just a little more force, a single slap might have turned Qin Junhao into a pulp.
"You dare to hit me?" After being stunned for a while, Qin Junhao, who was helped up by the Qin family, finally reacted. He roared hysterically, his mind clouded by anger, and he actually wanted to rush forward to challenge Zhang Fan. The onlookers watched with amazement.
"When people are driven to madness, they dare to do anything. Look at Qin Junhao now, he's exactly like that." At this moment, Qin Junhao was used as a negative example to teach the young people present.
"Alright, take him down." Qin Tuyi felt that it was about time and waved his hand, instructing someone to take Qin Junhao into the villa to be pacified.
Upon hearing the old man's command, Qin Junhao calmed down slightly. However, the look in his eyes towards Zhang Fan was still filled with anger, wishing he could tear him to pieces.
"Master Zhang, while you are a martial arts master, is it too much to treat our Qin family disciple this way?" Finally, Qin Tuyi looked at Zhang Fan and spoke.
"Do you really think your Qin family is something special?" Zhang Fan shook his head, showing no respect to Qin Tuyi, and said with a sneer, "Is this going too far? If it weren't for Luoshui's sake, based on his behavior just now, he would already be a dead man."
Upon hearing this, the Qin family members' expressions changed drastically. Even Qin Luoshui's parents were somewhat frightened. They knew that once these words were spoken, the matter would likely be completely irreversible.
Only Qin Luoshui sighed inwardly. These prominent families in Yan Jing, being so revered and admired by everyone, had long cultivated a habit of arrogance. Even when facing a giant of the Chinese martial arts world like Zhang Fan, they still maintained their pride and reserve.
Indeed, ordinary martial artists in the Chinese martial arts world would not dare to harm Qin family members. Even top forces like the Green Gang and Hongmen would probably give the Qin family some face.
However, this time, they were facing Zhang Fan.
