The Unlucky Chen Guangling

After the people from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion left, the scene fell silent.

Everyone looked at Qin Guan, their eyes filled with Complex Looks. None of them had expected the unremarkable Qin Guan to be a Third Realm Martial Cultivator!

Nan Yunqi also wore an incredulous expression. He had always thought Qin Guan was merely a weak Second Realm Martial Cultivator. Who would have thought this fellow had hidden himself so deeply!

After a while, the Grand Elder, Nan Shunda, suddenly said:

"Qin Guan, a Third Realm Martial Cultivator is indeed quite strong, but do you know that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion has a Profound Connection Realm worshipper stationed there? If you remember the gratitude you owe the Nan Family for taking you in, hurry and go to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to admit your guilt!"

Second Elder Nan Yuantong nodded. "That's right. A Profound Connection Realm strong expert is not someone a Third Realm Martial Cultivator like you can contend with. Sever your ties with the Nan Family at once and go apologize to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion!"

"Leave. Our Nan Family does not welcome you!"

"That's right, our Nan Family does not welcome you!"

As soon as Nan Shunda and Nan Yuantong stated their positions, the Nan Family members behind them immediately began shouting. If Chen Guangling brought that Profound Connection Realm worshipper over later, they would all suffer for it.

Seeing so many people trying to drive Qin Guan away, Nan Rou hurried to his side and tightly grasped his hand.

"Enough!"

Nan Yunqi suddenly shouted angrily. He looked at Nan Shunda and Nan Yuantong. "I am the Family Head of the Nan Family. It is not yet your turn to call the shots."

With that, he glanced at Qin Guan. "Qin Guan is the son-in-law of my Nan Family. Once he entered the Nan Family's door, he became one of us. At a time like this, should we not stand united against the outside world?"

Hearing this, Grand Elder Nan Shunda sneered.

"Stand united? Nan Yunqi, stop spouting grand words before this Old Man. You clearly want to use us Nan Family members as cannon fodder to protect your son-in-law!"

Nan Yunqi said in a deep voice, "Nan Shunda, with a great enemy before us, you are sowing discord. What are your intentions?"

At this moment, Second Elder Nan Yuantong said:

"Nan Yunqi, stop putting on that hypocritical act. Qin Guan caused our Nan Family to offend the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. From now on, our Nan Family will surely find every step difficult in Luyun City. If we do not send this scourge away, the Nan Family will never see the light of day!"

After Nan Yuantong finished speaking, he looked at the Nan Family members and added, "In any case, this Old Man will not sacrifice himself for nothing over an outsider with a different surname. When the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion comes later, this Old Man will absolutely not lend a hand."

As he spoke, Nan Yuantong walked to one side. Seeing this, the group of Nan Family members behind him followed him over.

"This Old Man will not act either!" After saying that, Nan Shunda walked to the other side. At the same time, the people behind him followed one after another.

In an instant, the several dozen Nan Family members at the scene were divided into three groups.

Meanwhile, some of those standing behind Nan Yunqi looked around uneasily. Before long, some ran toward Nan Shunda's side, while others ran toward Nan Yuantong's side. Their opponent was the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion; they did not want to become cannon fodder for Qin Guan.

In just a short while, only a dozen or so people remained behind Nan Yunqi. The Family Head had been instantly stripped of his power.

Seeing this scene, Qin Guan could not help sighing inwardly. It seems my father-in-law's position as Family Head is not very secure.

"Ha ha!"

Nan Yunqi suddenly threw back his head and laughed. He had known this day would come sooner or later. Qin Guan had merely been the fuse.

Seeing her father laugh with such desolation, and seeing so many people unwilling to help, Nan Rou looked helplessly at Qin Guan and softly called, "Guan Brother."

Qin Guan merely smiled and rubbed Nan Rou's head. "Don't be afraid. This is a good thing."

Just like that, the scene fell silent once more. It seemed everyone was waiting for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's arrival—one side prepared to fight, while the other two prepared to surrender.

At the same time, Chen Guangling had just arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion with a group of people when he ran into two individuals.

Upon seeing the Green Robe Old Man among them, Chen Guangling's eyes Lit Up Instantly. He hurried forward, dropped to his knees with a thud, and said:

"Elder Xu, you came at just the right time! Our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion has been beaten up. You must uphold justice for us!"

Elder Xu frowned slightly. "In Luyun City, there is still someone who dares show disrespect to my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?"

"Elder Xu, the other party is a Third Realm Martial Cultivator, and he is utterly arrogant. He said our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was nothing but petty trash, a pack of country dogs unfit to take the stage. He told me to go back and call for help, to bring the strongest one, because he would beat our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion until we were left searching the ground for our teeth!"

Chen Guangling wildly embellished the story. Though they were both Profound Connection Realm experts, Elder Xu's strength was far beyond that of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's worshipper. If he could invite Elder Xu over, would a Third Realm Martial Cultivator not be slapped to death with a single palm?

Hearing that it was a Third Realm Martial Cultivator, Elder Xu was somewhat surprised. Luyun City was such a tiny place, yet it had managed to produce a Third Realm Martial Cultivator. But he immediately said angrily:

"A mere Third Realm Martial Cultivator dares speak such wild boasts? Take this Old Man there!"

After saying that, he turned to the White Clad Woman behind him. "Young Lady, this Old Man will settle this matter first and return at once!"

Hearing Elder Xu respectfully address the White Clad Woman as Young Lady, Chen Guangling's pupils abruptly contracted. He hurriedly turned and kowtowed to her. "This lowly one failed to recognize Mount Tai. Greetings, Young Lady!"

The White Clad Woman ignored Chen Guangling and said calmly, "I am bored anyway. I will go join the excitement as well."

Chen Guangling was overjoyed. He hurriedly led Elder Xu and the White Clad Woman toward the Nan Family. Before long, the group arrived at the Nan Family courtyard.
