My Father Is Yuan Changqing

Kid, I'm at the Nascent Soul Stage, you know?

Seeing that Lu Jiuyuan and the others remained unmoved, even looking at them as though they were watching monkeys, Uncle Chen flew into a rage.

He was about to wipe them out when the young man standing to the side suddenly stepped in and stopped Uncle Chen.

"Young Master?"

Uncle Chen was somewhat puzzled, but the young man shook his head and said calmly.

"Uncle Chen, leave this matter to me."

With that, the young man walked up to Li Qingping. His smile was like a spring breeze as he spoke with utter confidence.

"Miss, my bodyguard offended you earlier. Allow me to introduce myself first. I am Yuan Tianyi."

After saying that, Yuan Tianyi said nothing more. In his view, those words alone were enough.

"Oh, and?"

Li Qingping frowned at his words, making no effort to hide the disgust in her tone. Even Yuan Tianyi, brimming with confidence, felt a trace of doubt and repeated himself.

"I am Yuan Tianyi. My father is Yuan Changqing!"

Having said that, he lifted his head proudly. Unless one was a fool, surely they would have heard Yuan Changqing's name. He was a mighty expert at the Peak Void Refining.

Yet to his surprise, Li Qingping still said coolly.

"Oh, and what exactly are you trying to say?"

If Li Qingping had merely been disgusted before, this time she was somewhat angry.

Hearing Li Qingping's words, Yuan Tianyi felt insulted. How could anyone not know Yuan Changqing's illustrious name? He was a mighty expert of the Void Refining Stage.

"My father is a mighty expert of the Void Refining Stage, so I wonder whether I might get to know you, Miss."

Yuan Tianyi drew a deep breath, repeatedly reminding himself that he was a refined and easygoing man who could not lose his temper so easily. Yet before Li Qingping could respond, Lu Jiuyuan snorted in disdain.

"I thought the Void Refining expert was you. Turns out you're just someone who throws your weight around?"

Turning toward Lu Jiuyuan, Yuan Tianyi could not help becoming enraged. A pretty young lady could say that about him, but what the hell were you?

With that thought, Yuan Tianyi said furiously.

"Kid, you look pretty smug. Then today, I'll teach you a lesson: don't be too arrogant!"

After speaking, Yuan Tianyi threw a full-force punch at Lu Jiuyuan. He wanted to tell Lu Jiuyuan that there were always greater people beyond people, and higher heavens beyond the sky. At the same time, he wanted to show Li Qingping just how powerful he was.

But why was this brat still standing there foolishly? And why was there a hint of amusement on Li Qingping's face? But now that he had struck, he naturally had to go all out.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What should I even say about you? You actually dared to attack me."

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head helplessly. He had merely wanted to keep a low profile, yet trouble had come knocking anyway. Besides, Lu Jiuyuan was no soft-boned coward, so he might as well make a move.

Naturally, quite a few people noticed the commotion here.

"Senior Sister Cheng, look! It seems something's happening over there."

Not far from Lu Jiuyuan's group, two women dressed in white sat cross-legged atop a rock. Their personalities, however, seemed completely different.

One was lively and cheerful, while the other was quiet and reserved.

After hearing her junior sister's words, Senior Sister Cheng emerged from her meditation, her face full of helplessness.

"Junior Sister, don't pay too much attention to such things. In a poor backwater like this, how powerful could any genius possibly be?"

Hearing her senior sister's words, the younger girl mischievously stuck out her tongue.

"Senior Sister, it's boring, after all. Besides, we probably still have to wait a day before entering the Qingfeng Secret Realm. Let's take a look."

Faced with her junior sister's coquettish pleading, Senior Sister Cheng helplessly shook her head. What else could she do? She could only spoil her. So, she turned to watch Lu Jiuyuan's side with her.

Others from various factions also noticed the scene, including, naturally, the forces from Panshi Town.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I never expected someone to provoke Yuan Changqing's son. Someone's in for a world of suffering now."

"Not necessarily. We don't know that young man. His background might be even more terrifying than Yuan Tianyi's."

"You're joking. How could any random person have a background comparable to a Void Refining expert?"

Though they sympathized with Lu Jiuyuan and the others, none of them would intervene. Their attitude was simple: if it had nothing to do with them, they would hang it high and stay out of it.

But just as Yuan Tianyi's fist was about to land on Lu Jiuyuan, Lu Jiuyuan finally launched his counterattack.

Lu Jiuyuan slapped Yuan Tianyi across the face with lightning speed, sending Yuan Tianyi flying. This sudden turn of events left most of the people present unable to react in time.

But once they did react, Yuan Tianyi's fury followed.

"You dared to slap this young master? Uncle Chen, kill them all! Leave that woman for this young master—I'll refine her into a cultivation cauldron!"

Yuan Tianyi had originally intended to maintain his poise, but now that he had been slapped, to hell with poise. Let it all go to hell.

"Yes, Young Master!"

Uncle Chen could not help but become furious at the sight. If Yuan Changqing learned of this, he too would likely face no small punishment.

With that in mind, Uncle Chen chose to strike like thunder and kill Lu Jiuyuan and the others. That way, he could salvage some face and soothe the young master's rage.

The people from the surrounding factions were all shocked by this sight, but what followed was pity. Being targeted by a Void Refining cultivator was no good thing.

"Wow, that big brother is so amazing! Senior Sister, how about we recruit him into our Northern Snow Sect later?"

After seeing Lu Jiuyuan's dazzlingly handsome display, the younger girl clung to Senior Sister Cheng's arm and pleaded. Senior Sister Cheng merely shook her head.

"Junior Sister, although I admire his strength as well, our Northern Snow Sect only accepts women. Men are out of the question."

Hearing this, the girl thought it over and realized that was true. Only then did she say reluctantly, "Can't we make an exception?"

"Make an exception? Forget it. He might not even survive today."

Senior Sister Cheng looked toward Lu Jiuyuan, pity flickering in her eyes.

The Cultivation World was not a place where being able to fight was enough. The most important thing in cultivation was having a background, having someone to rely on. If all one could do was fight, sooner or later, one would be beaten to death.

That was also why some geniuses joined major factions. First, for a peaceful environment to cultivate in; second, so they would not be bullied by members of other factions when they went out.

Clearly, however, they did not know that Lu Jiuyuan's background was far more terrifying than they could imagine. At the same time, Uncle Chen reached Lu Jiuyuan in the blink of an eye.

After all, Lu Jiuyuan had been the one to strike, so naturally he was the first one Uncle Chen intended to kill.

But what Uncle Chen had not expected was that this time, he had kicked an iron plate.
