The mbers of the Jiang Family did not dare to linger and fled from the Mu Mansion in a sorry state.
All mbers of the Mu Family were staring at Chen Fan in shock, utterly convinced by the strength he had demonstrated.
Mu Qingqing murmured to herself, "Xinyao has picked up what kind of monster?"
Zhao Yaping stepped forward with a puzzled face and asked, "Qingqing, isn’t he your boyfriend? Why did he run to stand up for your cousin instead?"
Mu Qingqing had to tell the truth, "Actually, I brought him back to make up the numbers; who would have thought he turned out to be my cousin’s beau."
Zhao Yaping’s face imdiately showed regret as she muttered, "If such a powerful person really were my Qingqing’s boyfriend, how great that would have been."
However, she quickly shook her head, "Still, let’s forget it. This kid has offended the Jiang Family. Once that old ancestor of the Jiang Family arrives, whether he can survive is still uncertain."
At this mont, Chen Fan and Su Qingyan were looking into each other’s eyes as if they had excluded everyone else from their world.
Chen Fan reached out and touched Su Qingyan’s hair, smiling, "Silly girl, why didn’t you tell the situation directly? You had really thinking you were going to dump ."
With tears streaming down her face, Su Qingyan suddenly laughed, hugging Chen Fan tightly, "I... I was just worried that you’d do sothing impulsive and anger the people of the Jiang Family, ruining yourself. Who knew you had beco so powerful."
Chen Fan also hugged Su Qingyan tightly, saying with imnse satisfaction, "Since I dared to co to the Capital, I must have co prepared."
Su Qingyan burrowed tightly into Chen Fan’s embrace; the warmth from above bringing imnse peace to her heart.
The two shared an intimate mont.
At this ti, Mu Tianxiong ca over, clearing his throat twice.
Chen Fan let go of Su Qingyan and turned his head to look at Mu Tianxiong.
A serious look on his face, Mu Tianxiong said, "Chen Fan, I didn’t expect that in just one year, you could achieve such a level; to call it a miracle would not be an exaggeration."
"However, I’ve taken a close look at your aura. You haven’t condensed a divine pill yet, have you?"
Chen Fan nodded.
Mu Tianxiong’s frown deepened, "This is exactly what I’m worried about. Although you defeated so many experts from the Jiang Family with your own strength, the real reliance of the Jiang Family is their ancestor who has reached the Divine Realm; this is also why I gave in to the Jiang Family and forced Qingyan to marry into their family."
"A Divine Realm master has transcended the category of humans, and it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to call them ’Immortals’. No matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, you would be as insignificant as an ant in front of a Divine Realm master."
"The Jiang Family won’t let this go easily. But it should take so ti for them to ask the old ancestor to take action. Now that things have co to this, I won’t say anything else. Just take Qingyan and leave now, never co back. I will take the brunt of the Jiang Family’s wrath. Even though we have thoroughly angered them, at most they will suppress the Mu Family. With gritted teeth, we can get past this."
Moved by these words, Chen Fan hadn’t expected Mu Tianxiong, who seed cold and difficult to talk to, to be such a warmhearted person.
He smiled at Mu Tianxiong, "Grandfather, don’t worry. Even if the Divine Realm master of the Jiang Family really cos looking, I am not afraid. The reason I left so of the Jiang Family mbers alive is actually to have them bring that Divine Realm master here. When they return, I will take care of all the trouble once and for all."
With disbelief written all over his face, Mu Tianxiong asked, "Can you really defeat a Divine Realm master?"
Chen Fan nodded, "It shouldn’t be a problem."
Mu Tianxiong clearly remained skeptical of his words.
At this mont, a middle-aged man stood up, his face full of reproach, "An alliance through marriage between the Mu Family and the Jiang Family was originally a good thing. With the support of the Jiang Family, our Mu Family was poised to climb even higher. But now, not only has the marriage been disrupted, but we’ve also completely offended the Jiang Family. Qingyan, you’re pushing the Mu Family into a pit of fire!"
This person was Mu Tianxiong’s eldest son, Mu Guangping, Su Qingyan’s uncle, and the next in line to be the head of the Mu Family.
Mu Qingqing was the daughter of the second uncle, Mu Guangyuan.
Having said his piece, a middle-aged woman imdiately stood up in agreent, "Exactly. What was supposed to be a joyous occasion has been ssed up by you. It’s bad enough that the Mu Family didn’t gain any benefits, but now we’ve even offended the Jiang Family. How do you expect the Mu Family to develop in the future?"
This person was Mu Guangping’s wife, Wang Feng.
Many people from the Mu Family agreed with them and began to accuse Su Qingyan.
Su Qingyan’s face was filled with guilt as she said to everyone, "I’m...I’m sorry, it’s all my fault..."
Chen Fan, however, pulled her into his arms and looked coldly at those accusing Su Qingyan, "For your own benefit, you want soone else to sacrifice their entire life. She just wants to live the life she desires; what’s wrong with that!"
Wang Feng curled her lips and said, "What’s wrong with marrying into the Jiang Family? They are a super clan; her life there would be better than any she could want, really."
Chen Fan glared at Wang Feng and questioned, "Do you have a daughter?"
Wang Feng said, "Yes, my daughter is currently studying abroad. She’s doing great, what about it?"
Chen Fan said, "Then why don’t you let your daughter marry into the Jiang Family instead?"
Without thinking, Wang Feng blurted out, "My daughter is my treasure; I don’t want her to suffer any grievance..."
Midway through her sentence, she realized sothing was amiss and hastily added, "The Jiang Family specifically requested Qingyan; what can I do about it."
Chen Fan snorted coldly, thinking this person truly only considered her own interests and ignored those of others. Had it not been for the fact that she was a mber of the Mu Family, he would have slapped her dead already.
Mu Guangping said coldly, "Regardless, because of you, not only has the Mu Family gained no benefit, but we’ve also offended the Jiang Family. Who knows what sort of suppression we might face in the future? This is fact. Who will compensate for the losses incurred by the Mu Family?"
Chen Fan, a bit irritated, retorted, "Will you compensate for the grievances Qingyan has suffered?"
Mu Guangping, with an indifferent face, said, "How can one person’s grievances compare to the interests of the entire clan? That is what she should bear!"
Chen Fan clenched his fists.
At this mont, Mu Tianxiong stepped forward and said, "Enough, what’s done is done, and talking further is useless. It’s getting late; everyone should go back to rest. As for the Jiang Family matter, let’s discuss it tomorrow."
The crowd dared not say more and dispersed.
Mu Guangping and Wang Feng both cast disdainful glances at Chen Fan and Su Qingyan before turning to leave.
Su Qingyan comforted Chen Fan, "My uncle will inherit the Mu Family’s properties in the future, so he cares greatly about the interests of the Mu Family. Don’t take him too seriously."
Chen Fan sighed, deciding not to dwell on the matter any longer. He smiled at Su Qingyan and asked, "Will you sleep with tonight?"
Su Qingyan’s face turned red, and she evasively answered, "Who... who wants to sleep with you? The matter with the Jiang Family isn’t over yet. Where would I find the mood for that? Isn’t it enough that I arranged a room for you?"
Chen Fan, resigned, said, "Alright, I’ll endure it a bit longer."
Su Qingyan playfully punched him twice.
Elsewhere.
After returning to the Jiang Family, Jiang Longshan imdiately arranged for soone to treat Jiang Yunlei’s injuries.
He then took out his phone and made a call.
"Ancestor, there’s been trouble in the family. Yunlei’s wife has been taken, and Yunlei has been seriously injured. Several of our Jiang Family’s experts together were no match for that man. He even declared that he would wipe out our Jiang Family! So please, I beg you to co back as soon as possible, otherwise, the Jiang Family will lose all face!"
An impatient voice ca from the other end of the line, "Alright, alright, I get it. Every single one of you can’t be trouble-free, always making clean up your sses. I’ll rush back tomorrow."
With that, the call was disconnected.
