Chapter Seven Lin Bi
Qin Yuxian heard the voice, identified its source, and although she was somewhat unwilling in her heart, she suddenly calmed down, putting aside her intention to start a big fight. After all, this was the City Lord's Manor.
Her pale hand like jade slowly lowered, and the mysterious aura also gradually dissipated.
When Qin Yuxian stopped releasing the mysterious energy, the light between Lin Bi's palms also dimmed. The young man following behind Lin Bi walked forward and whispered a few words in his ear. Lin Bi's eyes became somewhat strange with his words, and afterwards, his smile seemed even colder.
His gaze shifted to Qin Hao, and he laughed loudly: "Qin Hao, I didn't expect that a famous person from Tianlang City like you would show up in this kind of gathering. It seems that the men of the Qin family still have one or two with guts!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly shot over, all focusing on Qin Hao. They really wanted to know how Qin Hao would deal with this situation? Most of them had heard about Qin Hao's situation, a waste who might never be able to break through the Eighth Layer of the Congenital Realm, facing a strong opponent at the Tenth Layer, what confidence did he have?
They were watching and waiting for Qin Hao's next move.
Unexpectedly, there was no confrontation or martial arts performance as many people had imagined. Qin Hao simply stood up, walked a short distance away, picked up a cup of fruit wine, and sat back down in his original position, slowly savoring it mouthful by mouthful. As for Lin Bi's question, he seemed to have completely ignored it.
Lin Bi's face turned iron-green, the humiliation of being ignored made him furious, he clenched his fists and sneered: "Hmph, I've heard that Qin Hao has become a complete waste. Now that I see him, it's not false."
Qin Hao smiled leisurely and patted Du Wei's shoulder, who was still in a daze.
Everyone's eyes followed Qin Hao's gaze and focused on Du Wei. For some reason, Du Wei became the center of attention and felt a chill run down his spine. Before he could even push Qin Hao's hand away, Qin Hao spoke up with a calm expression: "Brother Du, who is that idiot?"
The scene suddenly froze. That idiot?
Everyone stared at Qin Hao in disbelief. Could this straightforward and blunt person be the rumored depressed and decadent young master of the Qin family?
By now, Du Wei also knew Qin Hao's identity. With the mentality of not offending either side, he could only smile at Qin Hao and say: "That is Lin Shao Ye, the son of Lin Zhanbei, the master of the Lin family."
When the three words "Lin Zhan Bei" came out, the faces of all the family members changed slightly, and their cautious expressions were revealed without a doubt.
The master of the Lin family, only those in Tianlang City know the weight of these four words.
In such an environment, Qin Hao's face remained as usual.
He glanced around and shook his head with a smile: "The son of the Lin family's master? It turns out he's nothing more than that."
Even more incisive words than before directly shocked the entire scene into a dead silence. Even Qin Yuxian's eyes were filled with astonishment.
Everyone had an idea flashing through their mind: was this calm and sharp-tongued young man really Qin Hao? The degenerate Qin Hao?
Du Wei was the first to react. He took advantage of everyone's stunned state and quietly retreated to one side, away from the center of the storm.
Lin Bi quickly regained his composure, his anger burning hotter by the second. Who in Tian Lang City had ever spoken to him like this? Lin Bi's fists clenched even tighter, his fingernails digging into his palm without him realizing it. He let out a cold laugh, his voice icy and hard: "This mouth is quite sharp, but in reality, it's just a useless piece of trash. If you have the guts, come up to the arena with me and try your skills."
Everyone was stunned, and in their opinion, Lin's words had indeed touched upon Qin Hao's weakness.
If Qin Hao does not dare to fight back, the result will be that people will mock him for only being good at verbal sparring.
And if he were to engage in battle, a cultivator of the Eighth Layer of the Congenital Stage who had been idle for many years, against an opponent at the Tenth Layer of the Congenital Stage, the outcome would not be hard to imagine.
A group of people looked at Qin Hao with a hint of pity in their eyes. Regardless of the rumors, the young man's performance just now was indeed tough and unyielding, even when facing Lin Bi they didn't have such courage. As warriors, they naturally felt a few points of admiration for Qin Hao.
Qin Yuxian's eyes also flashed with a worried look.
Qin Hao shook his head and smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Is bullying the weak your specialty? You're an adult man bullying a fifteen-year-old minor, aren't you ashamed?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly came to their senses.
On the Tianyuan continent, men are considered adults at the age of sixteen. If Qin Hao is already sixteen years old now, Lin Bi's request isn't excessive.
But Qin Hao was only going to turn sixteen in a few months. A grown man actively challenging an underage person, once spread out, would no longer be just a personal matter, teaching such shameless disciples, the entire Lin family would be ridiculed.
Lin Bi also thought of this point, that is to say he didn't even have the chance to make a move. Moreover, Qin Hao caught him in a weak spot.
At this thought, a scorching sensation suddenly appeared on his face. As if he had been slapped several times.
The young man who had always been standing beside Lin Bi quietly withdrew to the side. He was not one of Lin Bi's subordinates, but also a direct descendant of the Blue Family, and only because the Blue Family and the Lin Family were closer, he followed Lin Bi all the time.
At this moment, he didn't need to follow Lin Bei and make a fool of himself in front of others.
Everyone's gaze involuntarily focused on Qin Hao, waiting for his next move.
Now Lin has lost this round. Qin Hao had the upper hand verbally and had every reason not to fight him.
It's up to Qin Hao now. As long as he glosses over the topic, the Lin family will be at a disadvantage today and suffer a loss.
Under everyone's gaze, Qin Hao smiled calmly: "However, since you've made this request, I'll naturally accompany you."
"The Qin family's children have never been afraid of anyone."
What about a martial artist with ten layers of profound mystery? Qin Hao's experience in martial arts was enough to make up for the gap in his realm.
In his past life, he could have destroyed the Lin family with one hand. In this life, a single Lin Bi is even less likely to be taken seriously by him.
