Chapter Sixteen: The Clan Assembly

  "Master... you... hurry up and hide!" Qin Xue caught up with Qin Li, hesitated for a moment, and then advised: "You're not unaware of Qin Feng's status in the family. If you hurt him, they won't let you off! Besides... your injury also needs to be taken care of. I have a distant relative who has an empty mansion in the south of the city..."

  Qin Li smiled bitterly and thought, where could he hide? Not to mention that the Huangsha City was filled with Qin family's informants everywhere, even if he could really hide, what about his mother, Qin Han Yue? Would she take the punishment for him? That wasn't the outcome Qin Li wanted.

  Furthermore, Qin Li had just exerted his utmost strength to contend with Qin Feng. In reality, he had already suffered a severe injury. The gap between the two was simply too vast! A yellow-level first-stage, single-source cultivator facing off against an xuan-level sixth-stage, five-source high-ranking cultivator - normally speaking, it would be possible for him to be instantly killed on the spot!

  If Qin Li didn't have his own unique skills, he would have ended up in a terrible situation today. The bloodstain on his neck, which still hurts slightly, reminds him that this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and without strength, one has no right to speak!

  It seems like I've got the protection of the Shangguan family today, but who knows what tomorrow will bring? Who can guarantee that he and Miss Shangguan will really end up together?

  Even if they could get together, Qin Li would never let a woman protect him; he couldn't do that!

  Today's battle also brought Qin Li a great harvest. He discovered that when his spirit, energy and body were united as one, his energy concentrated to a wonderful critical point, a very strong energy would be generated within his body. It was this magical energy that supported Qin Li, allowing him to kick Qin Feng flying with one foot in the face of danger, and heavily injure him.

  Qin Li simultaneously discovered that when he put all his energy into the battle, the Xiantian Purple Energy Art's absorption of external energy was also a kind of frantic state!

  Otherwise, he would not have been able to dodge Qin Hu's attack!

  It's worth noting that the two brothers of the Qin family are truly geniuses! Although Qin Hu is already 18 years old and one rank lower than Qin Feng, being able to enter the Xuan level before the age of 20 means he has a bright future ahead of him. No one dares to say that Qin Hu is mediocre!

  Qin Hu's combat experience is obviously much more abundant than Qin Feng, if Qin Hu takes the lead today, then Qin Li will likely end in a miserable defeat.

  The gap in the boundary is not something that can be made up for by other means. If Yuan Li has a congenital purple air technique to replace it, then the martial skills of this world are absolutely not something that Qin Li's previous life could learn from! Because through Qin Feng and Qin Hu, Qin Li has already seen that their martial skills are absolutely not simple! Turning palms into knives is something that ordinary masters can do, for example, a single palm chop brick is to concentrate the body's energy on the palm in an instant, and then split the brick open, which belongs to the category of hard kung fu.

  The brothers Qin Feng and Qin Hu's palms transformed into knives, although invisible, but with an intangible aura, the sharpness was in no way inferior to a knife edge! This is the true art of war! Qin Li felt a little envious in his heart.

  So, Qin Li silently ran the Xiantian Purple Energy Art to heal his wounds while thinking in his heart about how he could obtain high-level combat skills.

  Seeing Qin Li's silence, Qin Xue thought he was worried about his mother, Qin Han Yue, and couldn't help but say in a low voice: "You don't have to worry about the madam either, she is after all the young master's daughter, no one can do anything to her!"

  Qin Li slightly shook his head and smiled faintly: "It's too late to leave now."

  The two of them looked up and suddenly a team of Qin family guards rushed out in front, led by a man in his thirties with a pale face and no mustache, who was indeed Qin Ze, the one who had followed Qin Hongyuan that day. Qin Ze nodded at Qin Li and said expressionlessly, "The family is holding a clan meeting, and Master asked me to invite you over!"

  Just then, from another direction, a group of people rushed out, led by one person riding a black horse, coldly looking at Qin Li, and then glancing at the white-faced man in his thirties, saying with hatred: "We came too late, this little beast benefited... Let's go..." As he spoke, the group mounted their horses and left.

  Qin Li was surrounded by these people, Qin Xue explained in a low voice: "These people are the old master's personal guards, those who just came are the young master's men."

  Qin Li nodded, Old Man Qin was the father of Qin Feng and Qin Hu, Qin Yongzhi, the actual controller of the Qin family now. Most of the time he was in the Imperial Capital, so he shouldn't know about what's happening here. In other words, the group of people just now should be the ones sent by Mo Lan, the first wife of Qin Yongzhi and the young mistress of the main house of the Qin family.

  The purpose is obvious, to get ahead of others and kill Qin Li to avenge the hatred in her heart. By then, it will be too late for Qin Hongyuan to do anything about it, even if he wants to, just because of a dead illegitimate son. The Shangguan family wants an alliance through marriage, and there are many excellent young men from other branches who would be willing to marry that demon girl from the Shangguan family!

  In fact, Mo Lan also escaped a disaster. What she didn't know was that Shangguan Tie wanted to form an alliance with the Qin family, and his goal was completely aimed at Qin Licheng! If she dared to kill Qin Li, then Shangguan Tie would definitely dare to destroy her!

  "It seems that Master is still on Young Master's side." Qin Xue judged in her heart, and her nervous mood was relieved a little.

  ……

  Inside the largest conference hall of the Qin family, hundreds of people gathered together, almost all the relatives within five generations of the Qin family in Huangsha City were here. The conference hall was filled with a buzzing noise, and the crowd was either shocked, angry or gloating in low voices.

  Qin Hongyuan sat in the highest position at the top, beside him stood a group of Qin family's direct descendants. Qin Hu's face was iron-green as he stood beside Mo Lan who had cried several times and almost fainted, supporting his own mother. Anyone could see his anger, as if just a slight provocation would trigger a thunderous rage.

  Mo Lan shed tears while staring at a beautiful woman standing opposite her with a resentful and venomous gaze. The woman, though dressed in simple attire without makeup, was born with a natural beauty, standing there calmly with a tranquil expression, seemingly unaffected by the situation.

  However, deep in her eyes, a hint of anxiety could still be seen. This woman was Qin Li's mother, Qin Han Yue.

  Qin Han Yue's heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle at this moment, not only worried about her precious son, but also furious at the attitude of the people in her family!

  When Qin Li was initially infuriated by Qin Hu, spitting out fresh blood and fainting to the ground, none of the Qin family members stood up to speak a fair word for Qin Li, let alone hold a clan meeting.

  What right do you have to bully my son, can't you just clap your hands in joy? If your sons were bullied, would you not take it to the highest level? Want to put my precious son on trial? Dream on! Qin Han Yue sneered in her heart: Aren't all of you wondering who the child's father is? And my revered father, if any of you dare to be unfavorable to Qin Li later, I'll personally tell you, the one I love... Who is he?! And, really provoke me... Hmph!

  At this moment, Mo Lan was finally thoroughly enraged by Qin Han Yue's composure. Her own son's future was uncertain, yet Qin Han Yue stood there calmly, without a hint of guilt on her face. She had disliked this extremely beautiful young woman since the day she married into the Qin family, and nearly twenty years of pent-up anger almost exploded out in that instant.

  "Qin Han Yue, you shameless and despicable woman, the wild seed you gave birth to will ruin the future of the Qin family! If I don't kill that good-for-nothing today, I won't live either! Waaahhh..."

  Qin Han Yue raised her head, and in her beautiful eyes, a layer of misty tears appeared, but on her face, a strong smile emerged, looking disdainfully at the crying Mo Lan, saying: "I am proud of my son, hehe, is he a waste? ... What about that one who was beaten?"

  "Hiss!" A sharp intake of cold air was heard.

  The noisy meeting hall, because of Qin Han Yue's words, suddenly became silent and still. Everyone stared blankly at the elegant woman standing behind Qin Hong Yuan, her expression calm and indifferent.

  Collective silence!

  Almost everyone suddenly thought of a question at this time: Huang Ji Yi Jie, Yuan Li even less than one heavy, not knowing any battle skills Qin Li, how did he defeat the best first talent in the Qin family since ancient times?

  Just then, the door of the conference hall creaked open. Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.

  In the dazzling sunlight, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old handsome young man walked in, taking steady steps. There was a strange sense of maturity in his eyes that made people involuntarily overlook his age.

  Rise!

  All the relatives of the Qin family were shocked in their hearts, good show, it's about to begin!
