How Could a Small Clan Like Theirs Have Offended the Hidden World Wei Clan?!

Qin Clan

"Master! A group of people have surrounded us!"

A servant, his face filled with panic, stumbled into the hall, his voice trembling, and cried out, "Master, what are we going to do!"

The head of the Qin Clan was sitting leisurely in his chair, looking quite relaxed.

Upon hearing this, he abruptly stood up and shouted angrily, "Which ignorant fool dares to besiege my Qin Clan?!"

Just then, a figure was thrown into the hall with a muffled "bang," rolling around a few times in a disheveled state.

The Qin Clan patriarch subconsciously looked up and saw a graceful woman walking towards him.

The Qin Clan patriarch's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Wei?!"

How could such a small Lineage have inadvertently provoked the Hidden World Wei Clan?!

Wei Yan strolled leisurely to the head of the table, slowly turned and sat down, casually crossing her legs, and said slowly, "Enough with the chit-chat, where is Shen Tan?"

The Qin Clan patriarch broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly replied, "Shen Tan? He 'Non-Self Qin Clan. How would I know where he is?"

Wei Yan's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "Then let's call your good daughter over and question her."

The Qin Clan patriarch looked bewildered, deep wrinkles forming on his forehead. "Xiaozhi? What does this have to do with her?"

Wei Yan's gaze suddenly turned cold. "Enough nonsense." With that, she waved her hand lightly. "Go, invite Miss Qin Xizhi over."

When she said "please," she deliberately emphasized the word, the threat in her voice was self-evident.

The Qin Clan patriarch's body stiffened abruptly. "No... no need! I'll go and summon him myself."

Wei Yan tilted her head slightly and said, "Alright."

"Qin Clan, if Miss Qin Xizhi is not here, then your Qin Clan has no reason to exist."

The Qin Clan patriarch's face turned deathly pale, and he repeatedly replied, "Yes... yes!"

Then, he turned around unsteadily, as if he had lost his soul, and hurried off to look for the person.

Inside Qin Xizhi's house

Qin Xizhi gently treated Shen Tan's wounds.

Her delicate brows furrowed, her face filled with worry and heartache, as she softly scolded, "How could you be so badly injured?"

Shen Tan gasped in pain, his forehead beaded with sweat, and gritted his teeth as he said, "If I hadn't had one last way to save myself, I would have died at the hands of that woman, Nan Shuang."

Qin Xizhi paused slightly, looked up at Shen Tan, and said, "You're the first person to escape unscathed from Nan Shuang's clutches, A-Tan."

Shen Tan grinned, a hint of smugness in his expression. "I am a person burdened with great fortune."

Qin Xizhi rolled her eyes at him, pressing harder on his wound, and said reproachfully, "How can someone with such great fortune be injured like this?"

Shen Tan hissed in pain and quickly begged for mercy, "Good Xizhi, be gentle, be gentle!"

He reached out to try to stop Qin Xizhi, but his hand fell limply due to the pain.

Seeing this, Qin Xizhi immediately softened her movements, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Qin Xizhi!" The angry roar of the Qin Clan patriarch suddenly came from outside.

The two turned around in astonishment and saw the Qin Clan patriarch rushing in with a furious expression.

His eyes widened in fury, and without a word, he raised his hand and slapped Qin Xizhi across the face. "You unfilial daughter! Don't you know the Nan Clan is looking for Shen Tan?!"

Qin Xizhi turned her head to the side from the sudden slap. She slowly covered her face, her voice stubborn. "I know."

The Qin Clan patriarch trembled with rage, his eyes wide as he roared, "You knew this all along, yet you still acted this way?! If you want the Qin Clan to be destroyed, you might as well just say so!"

Qin Xizhi raised her head, her eyes burning with anger, and shouted, "Why can't we! Why should we have to act according to the Nan Clan's wishes!"

The Qin Clan patriarch pointed at her with a trembling finger, his lips quivering with anger. "You... you!"

After a brief pause, he roared again, panting heavily, "The young master of the Hidden World Wei Clan has specifically requested Shen Tan. If you want the entire Qin Clan to suffer because of you, then continue your reckless behavior!"

Qin Xizhi was stunned upon hearing this, her eyes filled with doubt. "Isn't this the Nan Clan? What brings the Hidden World Wei Clan here?"

The Qin Clan patriarch glared angrily and snorted coldly, "Shen Tan has always been the most troublemaker, don't you know that?"

Despite the pain, Shen Tan gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet. "I don't know any Hidden World Wei Clan at all! How can you falsely accuse me like this!"

The Qin Clan patriarch's face flushed red with rage, veins bulging on his forehead, as he roared, "Injustice? Because of you, my Qin Clan is about to face a great calamity!"

Whether you know him or not, if the young master summons you, you must go!

Shen Tan frowned, raised his head, and resolutely said, "Fine! Then I'll see what the young master of the Wei Clan is really up to!"

Qin Xizhi called out anxiously, "A-Tan!"

Shen Tan stepped forward, his movements somewhat slow, and reached out to touch her swollen cheek. "It's alright, just wait here for me."
