Chapter 896
Faced with Qin Qi’s fierce counterattack, Murong Chan angrily said, "The war hasn’t even started, how can I go deal with that Elite Demon?"
Qin Qi mockingly replied, "Oh, I thought you didn’t know the war hadn’t started yet."
"Since the war hasn’t started, what are you whining about?"
"If someone didn’t know better, they’d think that Elite Demon had already come, but it hasn’t. So why should I get all worked up about it?"
Beaten down by Qin Qi’s scolding, Murong Chan was left speechless, unable to say a word.
Wei Ling’Er, standing by, covered her lips and couldn’t help but chuckle.
After all, it was the first time she had seen someone dare to shut Murong Chan up.
And to actually make Murong Chan speechless!
Murong Chan’s face turned red with anger, pointing at Qin Qi, "You, you dare to contradict me?"
Qin Qi didn’t miss the chance to add another jab, "Contradict you? I already laid it out there, if you’re really anxious, go deal with that Elite Demon on your own!"
"What? You don’t dare? When it comes down to it, isn’t it because you can’t handle it alone? You still need help from the rest of us?"
"You need our help, yet you want to show off and flaunt your strength? To others, you look no different from a clown!"
"We’re ignoring you because we’re decent people, not because we’re actually afraid of you, understand?"
These few words seemed to strike Murong Chan at his weakest point.
He looked around as if trying to verify the truth of Qin Qi’s words from others’ expressions!
And clearly.
Whether it was Zhang Mingtong or Wei Ling’Er, their reactions were much like Qin Qi’s words.
If not for Murong Chan’s noble status, they would have erupted long ago. It’s just that none had Qin Qi’s boldness!
Murong Chan was now furious beyond measure, "Kid, you’re courting death!"
With that, Murong Chan was about to make a move.
But Feng Xiao Xiao, standing nearby, wouldn’t let him succeed.
With a wave of his hand, mana surged around him, turning into streams of water, directly binding Murong Chan’s attempt to attack!
"Murong Chan, don’t act rashly!"
However, Murong Chan was already nearly exploding with rage from Qin Qi’s taunts, and barked, "City Lord Feng, what are you doing?"
Feng Xiao Xiao’s gaze darkened, "Murong Chan, do you not even regard me?"
Only then did Murong Chan come back to his senses.
Normally, he could use his status to act high and mighty to others.
But standing before him was Feng Xiao Xiao, a Core Formation Stage expert.
And this was his territory; truly offending him would leave him unsupported even back at the clan!
Thinking of this, despite his anger, he could only twist his neck, "Fine, fine, today I’ll spare you for City Lord Feng’s sake!"
"You could have just ignored City Lord Feng!" Qin Qi folded his arms, "If you don’t dare to act, then don’t act. Why put on a righteous front!"
As these words hit his ears.
Not only Wei Ling’Er but even Zhang Mingtong couldn’t help but laugh.
Murong Chan’s blood boiled with rage, to the point he couldn’t control it on the spot and spat it out.
Seeing this, Feng Xiao Xiao sighed, "Xu Yang, quickly take Young Master Murong down to rest!"
"Yes!" Xu Yang realized they had to separate Murong Chan from Qin Qi quickly.
Otherwise, Murong Chan might get even more agitated by Qin Qi!
When Murong Chan had left, only then did Feng Xiao Xiao speak with some exasperation, "Qin Qi, you really speak without thinking of the consequences. Do you know who Murong Chan is?"
"He’s a renowned genius of the Murong Family. And with his proud nature, he’ll definitely not let this go easily once you’ve offended him!"
Qin Qi stretched lazily.
Before he could reply.
Wei Ling’Er chimed in, satisfied, "Qin Qi wasn’t wrong; when that Murong Chan first met us, he acted like he was the boss!"
"If he’s really that capable, why doesn’t he just deal with the Elite Demon on his own? What’s the point of showing off to us!"
Zhang Mingtong remained silent, but clearly, he had no intention of refuting Wei Ling’Er’s words.
After all, his own background wasn’t too high, and he lacked Wei Ling’Er’s confidence.
"But still..."
Wei Ling’Er giggled, "Qin Qi, you’re quite bold, challenging someone like Murong Chan. Even I wouldn’t dare offend him!"
"You’ve basically said the words I wanted to say."
Qin Qi smiled.
He’s crossed paths with many on his journey here.
And now he’s got Bai Qingrou as a backing. If someone wants to deal with him, they need to pass through her first!
Yet, he still asked on the surface, "Is this Murong Family really so powerful?"
"Absolutely!"
Wei Ling’Er shook her head, "In the Northwest Region, there are four great noble houses: the Wei Family, the Ming Family, the Duan Family, and then the Murong Family."
"And among the four, the Murong Family is the strongest. On ordinary days, we three families usually follow their lead!"
"Only when personal interests come into play do divisions arise!"
"That’s exactly why Murong Chan acts so arrogant, because no one dares oppose him. Over time, it’s become his habit!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qi slowly understood, then said, "Got it!"
Feng Xiao Xiao gave a helpless smile, "Now that you know, you’re not worried at all?"
Qin Qi shrugged, "What’s there to worry about? If he wants to cause trouble for me, he has to first ask the Holy Maiden if she agrees!"
Finally understanding, Feng Xiao Xiao chuckled, "True, you are indeed Tianqing City’s treasure now. Bai Qingrou won’t let anything happen to you!"
This kid has thought it through well.
Though Qin Qi’s background is far below that of the Murong Family, he’s not afraid of Murong Chan’s retaliation. After all, Murong Chan can’t represent the whole family, no matter how skilled he is.
Thinking this way, Feng Xiao Xiao had no more worries, "For the next few days, all of you should rest at the City Lord’s Mansion!"
"After that, you all know what’s at stake. If the Evil Demons attack in full, it’ll be up to you to handle that Elite Demon!"
City Lord Feng spoke politely, and Zhang Mingtong immediately stood up, responding courteously, "Thank you, City Lord. We were hired to help at a high price, so it’s only right that we do our part!"
Qin Qi and Wei Ling’Er also responded politely.
Thus, the group settled temporarily at Feng Xiao Xiao’s mansion.
However, just as he settled, he suddenly sensed a hot sensation in his lower abdomen.
This made him frown in concentration, "What the hell is going on inside my stomach..."
The mysterious woman inspected it with interest, "Oh? It’s a restriction response..."
"Restriction?" Qin Qi looked bewildered, "Since when do I have a restriction inside me?"
"You don’t remember?" The mysterious woman squinted her eyes, "Left a woman outside, perhaps?"
