This Damned!

"Carve this Bastard into a thousand pieces!"

At Qin Guan's words, Chen Shaojie's face suddenly twisted into something terrifying. How dared a lowly Small Fry insult his family!

The moment his words fell, the two Guards behind him flashed to Qin Guan's side.

Bang! Bang!

The two Guards had rushed over quickly, but they flew back even faster. Before they could make a move, they vomited blood and were sent flying.

"E Ah!"

Before Chen Shaojie could react, the scene around him blurred into a streaking Phantom. Qin Guan grabbed his head with one hand and smashed him straight into the floor. Blood spilled from his mouth, and shattered teeth scattered everywhere.

Bang!

Qin Guan planted a foot on Chen Shaojie's head.

"Youth, stop at once! He is the Young Master of our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, you—"

Before the Boss of the spirit-material shop could finish, Nan Rou suddenly grabbed Qin Guan and ran outside. In the blink of an eye, they vanished into the crowd!

"You bunch of idiots! Go after them!"

Chen Shaojie roared with his blood-filled mouth covered. With barely any teeth left, his words leaked air.

On the Other Side, Nan Rou dragged Qin Guan along as she ran, deliberately ducking into secluded alleys.

Qin Guan was somewhat surprised. This Little Girl looked so delicate—how was she so strong?

"Phew... phew..."

Before long, Nan Rou pulled Qin Guan into a corner to hide. She panted heavily.

"G-Guan Brother, hurry home and hide! Th-that man is the Young Master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion!"

Nan Rou nervously Looked At her surroundings, her little face Scared deathly pale.

The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was absolutely not something the Nan Family could afford to offend. Even if the Nan Family had ten times the courage, they would not dare provoke the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

The instant she heard that the Man was the Young Master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, she had almost not hesitated at all before dragging Qin Guan away.

Qin Guan raised his left hand, shook the bundle of spirit materials in it, and smiled. "We still haven't paid!"

"Oh, honestly!"

Speechless, Nan Rou grabbed Qin Guan and continued running toward the Nan Family without another word.

They did not stop until they entered the Nan Family, reached their own Side Courtyard, and locked the courtyard gate behind them.

"Guan Brother, they probably don't know you're the Nan Family's Son-in-law, right?" Nan Rou asked worriedly in the courtyard.

Qin Guan shook his head. "Probably not."

"That's good. They probably don't know me either. After all, I haven't left home in many years." Nan Rou nodded, letting out a small sigh of relief.

"We spent all that time wandering around the streets together. I don't think it would be difficult for them to trace us back to the Nan Family." Qin Guan suddenly smiled.

"Then what do we do?!"

Hearing Qin Guan's words, Nan Rou became uneasy again.

At the thought of how the Young Master had had every tooth in his mouth knocked out by Qin Guan, panic surged through her. With the Nan Family's strength, they simply could not protect Qin Guan. And if her father and Stepmother learned of this, they would definitely go mad with rage!

Realizing how serious the matter was, Nan Rou became so anxious that she was nearly in tears. They had gone out happily to buy things, yet she had never expected something like this to happen.

Knock, knock, knock!

Just then, a series of knocks sounded outside the courtyard.

At the sound, Nan Rou's body gave a frightened shudder.

"Don't be afraid." Qin Guan walked over as he spoke and opened the courtyard gate.

An Old Woman entered with a beaming smile.

"Young Lady, Son-in-law, in two days it will be your Great Joy Day. Master specially sent this old servant to take your measurements and make your Wedding Robes."

Nan Rou let out a long breath. She had nearly been scared to death just now.

"Nanny, please come with me." Nan Rou led the Old Woman inside.

The Old Woman took out many embroidered samples for Nan Rou and Qin Guan to choose from.

Nan Rou knew that Qin Guan did not like overly ornate colors, so she chose a pure red Wedding Robe without too many patterns. Qin Guan looked it over and said he liked it very much.

After choosing the samples, the Old Woman began taking Qin Guan and Nan Rou's measurements.

Meanwhile, Chen Shaojie had gone mad, sending people everywhere to search for Qin Guan and Nan Rou.

When Pavilion Master Chen Guangling saw his Son beaten into a pig-headed mess, he immediately set aside everything he was doing and sent out his Personal Guards to thoroughly investigate the matter, swearing to tear the attacker into ten thousand pieces!

At dusk, inside a luxurious inn.

"Young Lady, we have found information on that Youth we encountered on the river a few days ago," a shadow guard reported to a White Clad Woman standing by the window.

"Speak."

"That Youth is called Qin Guan. His background and strength are unknown. We only know that he came to Luyun City this time to become a Live-in Son-in-law of the Nan Family," the shadow guard said.

"The Nan Family? A Live-in Son-in-law?" The White Clad Woman turned around with a slight furrow of her delicate brows. "What kind of strength does the Nan Family have?"

"The Nan Family is merely a third-rate family in Luyun City. It is very weak," the shadow guard replied.

"I understand." The White Clad Woman waved a hand, and the shadow guard quickly withdrew.

"Interesting." After the shadow guard left, the Green Robe Old Man stroked his beard.

"Elder Xu, it seems he did not come for Myriad Monster Valley," the White Clad Woman said.

"He is currently in Luyun City. Once the Secret Realm of Myriad Monster Valley opens, he will certainly learn of it," Elder Xu said.

The White Clad Woman nodded slightly.

"A person so strong has gone to marry into a third-rate family. That is truly quite interesting. Elder Xu, after we finish at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion later, let us pay that Youth a visit while we are at it."

Elder Xu nodded.

"That Lad will certainly be interested in that Secret Realm. At present, the three great powers from the Imperial Capital—the Imperial Family, Spirit Sword Academy, and Cloud Mist Sect—have all learned of this Secret Realm. If we can draw that lad to our side, it will be of great help to us."
