I Haven't Made a Move, Yet You Knelt Down

Hearing Qin Anlan's words, Liu Ruxue's forced composure wavered.

She bit her lip tightly, remaining silent.

She was afraid she couldn't control her inner rage and would rush to fight Qin Anlan.

That's right.

If it were up to Liu Ruxue, upon learning that her family's murderer and her sister's captor stood before her, Liu Ruxue would have long since lost control and charged at Qin Anlan for a fight to the death.

But Liu Ruxue knew very well.

Not to mention Qin Anlan's formidable strength, she was no match for him at all.

As the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, he was surrounded by countless experts.

If she were to attack Qin Anlan, even if only a killing intent flashed in her eyes, she would be mercilessly eliminated by Qin Anlan.

Liu Ruxue didn't fear death. If it meant avenging her family, what did it matter if she sacrificed her life?

But she didn't want to die so miserably.

Especially after being meticulously taught by that important figure, Liu Ruxue had a reason to live.

"You're so calm, as if you don't care about Ye Qingyun's life or death."

"You're merely worried that I, this Young Lord, will take the opportunity to deal with Ye Qingyun."

Qin Anlan saw through Liu Ruxue's little scheme.

As for her other hidden intentions, with the enemy who destroyed her clan right in front of her, and her remaining indifferent.

Even with his eyes closed, Qin Anlan knew exactly what she was plotting.

For some reason, Liu Ruxue felt that

this man before her was terrifyingly powerful.

His eyes seemed to pierce through her soul, making it impossible for Liu Ruxue to have any secrets from Qin Anlan.

"The teacup is empty."

Qin Anlan looked at the empty teacup and said calmly.

Liu Ruxue glanced at Qin Anlan, gritted her teeth, as if she had made some important decision.

Then, she silently picked up the teapot beside her and gently refilled Qin Anlan's cup.

"Interesting, this is getting more and more interesting."

A meaningful smile played on Qin Anlan's lips.

He muttered to himself, as if saying something, yet also as if speaking to Liu Ruxue.

As he spoke, Liu Ruyan's hand holding the teapot trembled slightly, but she quickly masked it.

Qin Anlan was already all too familiar with this kind of tactic.

In Ye Qingyun's perception, Qin Anlan was still that shameless simp.

It wouldn't matter even if he offended Qin Anlan.

Who would have thought that Qin Anlan's personality would change so drastically in such a short time?

Not only did he destroy the Liu family and capture Liu Ruyan, but now he even intended to extend his wicked claws to Liu Ruxue.

Both Liu Ruxue and Liu Ruyan were considered his women by Ye Qingyun.

Naturally, he would not allow any other man to lay a hand on the Ruxue sisters.

The hatred for his father's murder, the humiliation of his women being taken.

For a Child of Destiny, he absolutely could not stand by and watch the women he cared about fall into the clutches of the great villain, Qin Anlan.

There was an even more important point.

The reason Ye Qingyun dared to fly into a rage in broad daylight

was because he was deeply trusted by the First Prince and the Left Prime Minister.

He had also underestimated the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

He had originally thought that as long as he said those words, the First Prince and the Left Prime Minister, for the sake of their reputation and the prestige of Heavenly Firmament Academy, would definitely stand firm against Qin Anlan.

Who would have expected that

even when Qin Anlan came to provoke him, the First Prince remained silent.

Even as the dean of Heavenly Firmament Academy and the Left Prime Minister, the head of all officials.

He chose to sacrifice Ye Qingyun at this moment.

As for why Liu Ruxue had such a significant change.

Facing Qin Anlan, the enemy who destroyed her clan, she showed no anger at all. Instead, she tried to curry favor with him.

Qin Anlan didn't understand what had happened.

But he saw through Liu Ruxue's actions as if he had an omniscient perspective.

He clearly understood what Liu Ruxue was trying to do.

Enduring humiliation for the sake of revenge.

This woman wanted to emulate King Goujian of Yue and play the game of lying low and waiting for an opportunity.

Although Liu Ruxue was filled with rage, it only made Qin Anlan more determined.

He would never let this woman go.

A forced melon isn't sweet.

But it quenches thirst.

The second female favorite of the Bronze Sparrow Platform.

Qin Anlan had already categorized Liu Ruxue.

Liu Ruxue would face the same fate as his sister, Liu Ruyan.

"I underestimated you."

Meanwhile, in the crowd.

Luo Feng's expression had turned extremely grim.

His words were cold, his eyes blazed, and he stared intently at Ye Qingyun.

He still intended to make a move and teach Ye Qingyun a lesson.

In front of everyone, especially in front of important figures like Qin Anlan, the First Prince, and the Left Prime Minister.

Not only had he failed to defeat Ye Qingyun, but he had also been forced to retreat repeatedly by Ye Qingyun.

This caused Luo Feng to lose all face and be utterly humiliated.

However, before Luo Feng could make a move, Qin Anlan stood up from his seat, shaking his head listlessly.

"What a boring game."

This single sentence caused Ye Qingyun to freeze in place.

Before Ye Qingyun could react.

Qin Anlan continued, "Since this matter concerns this Young Lord, there's no need for you all to act."

"Ignorance breeds fear."

As Qin Anlan's voice fell, a majestic pressure swept through the air like a tidal wave.

It was like Mount Tai pressing down, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

The numerous disciples of Heavenly Firmament Academy couldn't help but change their expressions when faced with that terrifying pressure.

Their souls trembled slightly.

Even many elders of Heavenly Firmament Academy wore extremely grim expressions.

The Left Prime Minister's face flickered, and he couldn't help but mutter.

"As expected of the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis, truly beyond expectations."

The First Prince, caught in the vortex, was unaffected.

However, the shock on his face was evident.

Late Stage Emperor Sealing.

Qin Anlan, at only twenty years old, had already reached the Late Stage Emperor Sealing realm.

The strength Qin Anlan displayed was even superior to that of ordinary peak Emperor Sealing realm cultivators.

A monster!

The Qin Anlan before them was simply a monster.

If this monster were given another hundred years, to what terrifying heights would he grow?

No one could tell.

Thud!

A dull sound echoed.

Ye Qingyun, the person directly involved.

Facing Qin Anlan's immense pressure, Ye Qingyun gritted his teeth and pushed with all his might, trying his best to resist.

His legs gave out, and he immediately fell to his knees on the ground.

The overwhelming power, like Mount Tai crushing down, suppressed Ye Qingyun, forcing him to lower his head.

Let alone lifting his head.

Even moving an inch became an impossible feat.

Before Qin Anlan even made a move, he had already completely subdued Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun silently communicated with the expert inside the ring in his heart.

However, all his messages were like stones cast into the sea, with no response.

It was as if the other party, intimidated by Qin Anlan's might, had been scared into hiding within the ring and dared not show himself.
