The Person Qin Anlan Wants to Kill, Who Dares to Protect

"Hahaha..."

"Qin Gengxin, Qin Zizai, long time no see."

Just as the members of the Liu family were flustered, being pointed at and talked about by a crowd of onlookers, a figure appeared in the void.

"Chou Yin, why aren't you staying put at Heavenly Firmament Academy and coming here?"

Qin Gengxin snorted coldly, speaking with annoyance.

The voice carried a majestic pressure.

Liu Chongshan felt immense pressure, his Blood Essence churning within him.

His feet moved uncontrollably.

With a thump, he knelt directly before everyone.

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.

Chou Yin's face also held a hint of gloom.

He's doing this on purpose.

This damned Qin Gengxin is doing this deliberately.

"I am here today to mediate the conflict between your two families."

As he spoke, Chou Yin waved his hand.

The pressure on Liu Chongshan then vanished completely.

This allowed Liu Chongshan to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had been prepared and had sought refuge with Heavenly Firmament Academy.

Now, only by clinging tightly to Heavenly Firmament Academy could his Liu family remain safe and sound.

"Just you?"

Qin Gengxin snorted dismissively.

Hearing this, Chou Yin suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "I am aware of the ins and outs of this matter."

"Indeed, the Liu family's actions were indeed inconsiderate."

"As the saying goes, it's easier to resolve enmity than to create it. I ask everyone to give me some face."

"I am willing to represent the Liu family in apologizing to the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate. Let this matter be dropped."

Chou Yin spoke casually.

It was as if he were discussing a trivial, everyday matter.

Liu Ruyan personally coming to break off the engagement was equivalent to slapping the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate in the face.

Now, with the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate having mobilized a large force, only to be dissuaded by a mere elder from Heavenly Firmament Academy, the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate would lose all face.

At that time, Heavenly Firmament Academy's reputation would soar.

He, Chou Yin, could also gain fame throughout the Heavenly Flame Empire by virtue of persuading the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate to back down.

It was even possible that he would gain the appreciation of the Left Prime Minister and the First Prince, and rise to the heavens.

It had to be said.

Chou Yin had considered everything very thoroughly.

Although this action might offend the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, if successful, he would gain both fame and fortune.

"Hahaha..."

"Well said, 'let this matter be dropped.' How many resources did the Liu family swallow from me, the Young Lord? And you think a simple 'let this matter be dropped' can settle it?"

"Who do you think you are, Chou Yin? If you don't want to die, then get lost."

"If you want to be buried with the Liu family, I don't mind giving you a coffin."

Qin Anlan unleashed a torrent of abuse at Chou Yin.

His tone was as arrogant as it could possibly be.

He showed no regard for this elder of Heavenly Firmament Academy.

One must know.

Chou Yin was an elder of Heavenly Firmament Academy, and a top expert at the Saint Lord Realm.

He was a prominent figure throughout the entire Heavenly Flame Empire.

Now.

He was being verbally abused by Qin Anlan, a junior who was only in the Emperor Realm.

This was equivalent to dragging Chou Yin's reputation through the mud.

Especially as Qin Anlan continued his unrestrained insults, murmurs of discussion rose from the surrounding crowd.

All of it was talk predicting Chou Yin's downfall.

These comments made Chou Yin's face turn ashen, looking as if he had just eaten something foul.

Now, this was just great.

Not only had the Liu family been utterly disgraced, but he, Chou Yin, had also been ruined and become a laughingstock.

He suspected the entire Heavenly Firmament Academy would also lose face.

If he didn't take any action now, he wouldn't be able to face those people back at the Heavenly Firmament Academy.

Chou Yin's eyes widened in anger, and he stared intently at Qin Anlan, saying in a deep voice, "Young Lord, you are going too far."

"I do not represent myself alone, but the entire Heavenly Firmament Academy. Do you truly intend to make an enemy of the entire Heavenly Firmament Academy?"

"Well said, making an enemy of the Heavenly Firmament Academy," Qin Anlan replied with disdain. "Let's not even mention that you, a mere Chou Yin, cannot represent the Heavenly Firmament Academy at all."

"Today, I will kill the entire Liu family. No one can save them."

"If anyone dares to overestimate themselves, I don't mind sending them on their way too."

As he spoke these words, a powerful killing intent emanated from Qin Anlan.

Hiss!

Even Chou Yin, an expert at the Saint Lord level, couldn't help but gasp, his brows furrowing tightly.

He hadn't come here on the orders of the Heavenly Firmament Academy's Dean, who was also the current Left Prime Minister.

Instead, he was responding to a request from Ye Qingyun, the top disciple of the Heavenly Firmament Academy.

It seemed that Liu Rumei, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, had some connection with Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun was one of the Left Prime Minister's most valued disciples.

He was also close associates with the current First Prince.

Furthermore, he was the disciple of the Heavenly Firmament Academy's most powerful female expert.

With so many accolades, Ye Qingyun had become an extremely influential figure within the Heavenly Firmament Academy.

Even Chou Yin, an elder of the Heavenly Firmament Academy and an expert at the Saint Lord realm, had to show him some respect.

However, relying solely on Ye Qingyun, facing Qin Anlan, the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, gave Chou Yin no confidence whatsoever.

But the situation had already escalated to this point.

With everyone watching, how could he possibly resolve this?

Chou Yin was now in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

Not to mention the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate's transcendent influence, which was far beyond what a mere Chou Yin could provoke.

Even Ye Qingyun, the top disciple of the Heavenly Firmament Academy, and even the Dean of the Heavenly Firmament Academy, the current Left Prime Minister, would not dare to casually provoke the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Consider the current situation.

Setting aside the many experts of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, The Seventh Elder, Qin Zizai, was at the Peak Saint stage.

In contrast, Chou Yin was only at the Early Saint stage.

The difference of two realms meant a significant gap in strength.

For experts at their level, each step was like traversing a world.

In terms of both strength and cultivation, he was far from Qin Zizai's match.

If he were to truly fight against someone from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, Chou Yin would undoubtedly be the one to die.

Chou Yin was well aware of this fact.

Even if he could somehow win these battles, what would be the point?

The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate had an abundance of experts; crushing him would be easier than crushing an ant.

With this thought, Chou Yin began to consider retreating.

He couldn't win a fight, and he couldn't truly fight.

Reasoning with Qin Anlan was also impossible.

Could he even have a pleasant conversation at this point?

Yet, he couldn't simply back down.

After all, Chou Yin represented the Heavenly Firmament Academy.

If they retreated, Heavenly Firmament Academy's reputation would plummet.

After he, Chou Yin, returned, it would be difficult to explain to Ye Qingyun, let alone the First Prince and the Left Prime Minister.

Thinking this, Chou Yin plastered a smile on his face and cupped his hands towards Qin Anlan. "Young Lord, this matter is indeed the Liu Family's fault from the start."

"But the Liu Family has already recognized their mistake and has even pledged allegiance to my Heavenly Firmament Academy."

"I ask that Young Lord, for the sake of the Left Prime Minister and the First Prince, show mercy and let them off this time."

"For the sake of the Left Prime Minister and the First Prince?" Qin Anlan let out a cold snort. "Are you trying to use them to pressure this Young Lord?"
