Chapter 28: Humiliation of One's Own Doing
Qin Li's eyes narrowed, his gaze flickering. He wasn't familiar with most of the people in the Qin family, but this voice was very familiar to him. It was Qin Yonggang, one of the core members of the Qin family and Qin Li's fourth uncle!
Qin Li couldn't forget that when he had just arrived in this world, his mother Qin Han Yue was humiliated by the fourth uncle's concubine and wept silently in front of his bed.
Mother didn't want to speak ill of her own brother, so she told Qin Li that the fourth brother was not around. But Qin Li knew clearly in his heart, what did "not around" mean? It was obvious that he just didn't want to get involved!
Indeed, they still have some attachment to their mother, but as for this nephew of theirs... the more they look at him, the more displeasing he is! If it weren't for themselves, Qin Han Yue would probably have been chosen to enter the imperial palace as a concubine long ago, and the entire Qin family would have risen to prominence because of it.
The door of the small wine shop creaked open, and a burst of sunlight illuminated the interior. A tall figure stood in the doorway, scanning the crowd inside before fixing his gaze on Qin Li.
"I was wondering who it was, and it turns out to be you, you little scoundrel!"
Qin Yonggang gave Qin Li a cold glance, then turned to Ah Hu and the others with a cold smile: "You think that by relying on him, you can offend the Qin family without any scruples? Ha! You're really wrong. This little beast is now struggling to save himself, and he has nothing to do with the Qin family. On the other hand, you dare to hurt someone from my Qin family. I'll settle this account with you!"
"Haha, unexpectedly the famous Qin Siye of Huangsha City would also stand up for a few family losers and trash, it's really rare! You're not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous." Qin Yonggang called out one by one, thoroughly angering Qin Li. Qin Li stood up, looked at his fourth uncle with disdain, and coldly sneered: "Qin Yonggang, if you have the guts, kill me, step on my corpse to move my brother; if you don't have the guts, then quickly get out of here!"
"Ah! You little beast, you're looking for death!" Qin Jia Siye, a man of status and position in this desert city for many years, had never been insulted like this before. He was furious and cursed loudly: "Do you think the Fourth Master really doesn't dare to kill a little beast like you?"
Don't mention it, Qin Yonggang actually came because of Qin Li being here. Otherwise, even if the other branches of the Qin family were prominent, they wouldn't need him to show up. He just happened to arrive and heard that Qin Li was here, suddenly his temper flared up. If not for this little beast, I would have become the emperor's uncle-in-law long ago!
"Right, you don't dare!" Qin Li smiled all over his face as he looked at Qin Yonggang who was standing at the door without coming in, and sneered: "With your little courage, do you dare to offend the superior's family? You don't dare! If Qin Hongyuan finds out, he will definitely break your dog leg!"
"You..." Qin Yonggang's face turned bright red with anger, and at this moment, he really understood why his two nephews, Qin Feng and Qin Hu, wanted to kill Qin Li. This little beast could talk people to death!
"What am I? I told you, if you don't dare to kill me, then hurry up and get out! Don't humiliate yourself here!" Qin Li's eyes shot out two cold rays of light, the followers behind Qin Yong were all clenching their fists and glaring at Qin Li with uncontrollable anger, just waiting for their master's order to rush in and tear Qin Li apart.
Unfortunately, Qin Yonggang really didn't dare to kill Qin Li, and he didn't even dare to hurt him!
Because just this morning, the Shangguan and Qin families simultaneously announced that their children would be engaged, at the same time, the Qin family officially announced its entry into the transportation and restaurant industries, and also "bought" several properties from the Shangguan family.
A discerning person can see that there is a cat in the bag, but what's the big deal? The conversation between the two powers of Huangsha City has even made Fang's family collectively silent, who else would have room to interject?
At this sensitive time, how dare Qin Yonggang provoke Qin Li? Originally wanted to come and scold this little beast, show off the prestige of Qin's fourth master, but did not expect to insult others without success, and was insulted instead. This person really lost his face.
It was Qin who stood up afterwards, and Ahu and others showed gratitude in their eyes. The most important thing for people in the rivers and lakes is the word "righteousness". Although Qin is young, this responsibility cannot help but make people look at him with admiration!
"Alright, alright! You little beast, I'll remember this holiday today. You just wait and see, one of these days you'll regret it!" Qin Yonggang gritted his teeth and said, then left with a group of furious followers.
Qin Liman shook his head indifferently, turned back and said apologetically to Ah Hu: "Brother Tiger, I'm really sorry, I've dragged you into this. Qin Yonggang is a narrow-minded person who will definitely retaliate, I'm afraid in the future..."
"Qin brothers, don't say that, what's this about implicating or not implicating? If I was afraid, I wouldn't have taken action to teach those shameless bastards a lesson today! At worst, I'll just stop hanging out in Huangsha City from now on!" Ah Hu smiled brightly, looking like he didn't care.
Qin Lidan said calmly: "Don't worry, it will never happen! Huangshacheng is not dominated by the Qin family alone!"
Bai Yun watched Qin Li with great interest, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that this little guy was simply too cute. At thirteen or fourteen years old, even if he were a child from an ordinary family, it would be impossible for him to be as mature as a demon. This kid must have known that Qin's fourth master didn't dare to do anything to him, so he dared to speak recklessly, almost making the other person spit blood in anger. If not for his face, people might even think he was an old and cunning guy, but it was hard to believe that he was just a child.
A feast of wine, everyone has their own worries. Let's meet at the Hunter's Guild three days later. Qin Li left alone and headed north of the city.
The evening wind blew up, messing up Qin Li's hair at the same time, and also made Qin Li's heart a bit confused. This world is so different from his previous one!
In that country before, it was an era where martial arts had not declined, with a well-established legal system. In the face of a powerful national machinery, no matter how high one's martial arts skills were, they did not dare to act rashly!
In this Qinglong country, only in this Huangsha city, the three major families are well-known to everyone, but when it comes to the lord of the city, many people don't even know who he is!
After rebirth, all kinds of things I've experienced also show that this is a world where true strength is respected!
The corners of Qin Li's mouth suddenly curled up into a strange smile, and under the sunset's rays, that young and handsome face revealed a few hints of evil charm. He patted the divine-level battle technique on his chest and coldly laughed without looking back: "You two have been following me for so long, aren't you tired?"
As soon as Qin Li's voice fell, two young men appeared behind him, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the left was about thirty years old, thin and pale, with a cold expression. The one on the right was only twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with a scar that ran diagonally across his face, from the corner of his eyebrow to the corner of his mouth, giving off a ferocious look.
"Haha, interesting. I heard from Qin Hu earlier that you're a useless person and also have the nickname 'Basic Master'. Now it seems he was wrong. Tell me, how did you discover us?" The young man in his twenties smiled, revealing his scar, which moved along with his smile, making him look even more intimidating.
Qin Li sneered in his heart, "Do you really think the Ren and Du meridians I've opened up are just for show? Without any combat skills, can't even defeat two useless trash who aren't even at the Xuan level?"
Without responding to the young man's words, Qin Li calmly said: "Speak, what is your purpose in following me?"
