"It's here." Qin Luo had not expected this so-called Child of Destiny to make such a high-profile entrance.
"Quite arrogant. Looks like he doesn't take me seriously at all."
"I'm curious—what gives you such confidence?"
Qin Luo looked leisurely at Lin Xuan, a faint smile hanging from the corner of his lips. To Lin Xuan, it was a smug smile.
He could not bear Qin Luo laying hands on his woman.
Fury surged into his heart as he angrily said to Qin Luo, "Let go of Qingxue, or I don't mind making your blood spatter on the spot!"
Boom! Everyone present was stunned.
All their gazes fell upon Lin Xuan.
"This fellow is pretty arrogant. He even dares threaten a prince of my Great Qin Dynasty. Heh, I like him!" A trace of curiosity appeared in Qin Feng's eyes as he looked at Lin Xuan.
He had also seen that Lin Xuan was no ordinary man. He felt there might be a good show to watch today.
And besides...
He noticed a woman slowly approaching behind Lin Xuan. His entire body jolted, and he immediately rose to his feet in fright.
"The Princess has arrived!" A shrill voice rang out as a dignified and luxurious woman slowly entered the courtyard.
Everyone present stood and bowed to the woman. "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Wearing palace robes and an expression that commanded respect without anger, the Great Qin Dynasty's princess, Qin Yun, slowly approached.
She was one of the most esteemed figures in the Great Qin Dynasty, an exceptionally special existence. She was the dynasty's only princess, the Emperor's beloved pearl, doted upon beyond measure.
Her maternal clan possessed immense power. They were one of the Great Qin Dynasty's non-imperial kings; the fact that they could carve out territory and be granted kinghood was proof enough of their extraordinary strength.
Her master had a mysterious background and was said to be a guest honored by the Qin Emperor. She was also one of the deputy heads of the Imperial Clan Court, which showed just how special her status was within the Great Qin Imperial Family.
Moreover, she was a Daughter of Destiny.
[Discovered a Daughter of Destiny] [Name: Qin Yun] [Age: 29] [Fortune Rank: Third Tier] [Physique: Exquisite Ice Heart] [Women possessing an Exquisite Ice Heart have hearts as still as water, able to remain calm and rational. They are less easily disturbed or tempted while cultivating.] [Fortune Points: 59,800] [Cultivation: First Layer of the Cave Heaven Realm] [Introduction: A favored daughter of heaven, noble beyond words. If nothing unexpected happens, she will surely become part of a protagonist's harem. This protagonist, or another protagonist in the future? Anything is possible.]
"Good grief, did they summon some great deity?" Qin Luo merely swept his gaze over her before turning it back to Lin Xuan.
Without giving Lin Xuan any face, he rebuked him, "What the hell are you? What right do you have to speak here? You don't agree?"
"Could it be that you truly have an illicit affair with this concubine of mine? Defiling the imperial clan—what colossal nerve! Are you trying to get your nine generations exterminated?!"
Naturally, Lin Xuan was not afraid of having his nine generations exterminated, because he did not have nine generations to begin with.
He was not even worried about whether the Gu Family would have their nine generations exterminated. In any case, no one could be allowed to make him unhappy, and his woman could not be stolen away.
If his woman's nine generations were exterminated, then once his cultivation succeeded in the future, he would simply avenge them!
Tears welled in Gu Qingxue's eyes as she gently shook her head at Lin Xuan.
She had heard the eunuch's voice in the imperial palace with her own ears and seen her father's helpless panic with her own eyes. She had realized that she could not be willful anymore.
Now that Lin Xuan had come, she felt terribly conflicted. She did not want to see Lin Xuan risk himself for her either.
Lin Xuan believed he had understood Gu Qingxue's expression. He thought she was simply worried about him, which only made him even less willing to let Qin Luo forcibly take Gu Qingxue for himself.
"And what if I say I disagree?" A cool voice sounded as Qin Yun slowly stepped forward.
With an aloof expression, she looked at Qin Luo as though he were a stranger. The moment she opened her mouth, Qin Luo felt a surge of disgust. "So you're the wild child our Qin Household raised outside?"
"Sure enough, character cannot be judged by one's camp." Qin Luo murmured leisurely.
The two Children of Destiny he had encountered were hardly good people. They were merely favored by Heaven's Will.
[The host has comprehended the true essence. History has always been written by victors. Whoever is Heaven's Will has the right to define the protagonist. Justice and evil? They are merely different stances.] [The System is gratified. All Villain Points may be consumed in exchange for a God Level cultivation art. Do you agree?]
Qin Luo's mouth twitched. This System was watching his Villain Points every waking moment.
But a God Level cultivation art—this deal was well worth it!
"Agreed!" Qin Luo silently said in his heart.
[Exchange successful. Obtained cultivation art: Nine-Turn Golden Body Scripture (God Level)] [A supreme body-refining cultivation art. Have you seen Lin Xuan's Indestructible Golden Body Art? This is over a hundred times stronger than that. Once cultivated to the utmost realm, one can be reborn from a drop of blood.]
Heh, as expected of the System. When the System made a move, it was all about whether it delivered.
Qin Luo was quite satisfied, but Qin Yun's words left him far from pleased.
"You just arrived in the Imperial Capital, yet you used your status as a prince to cause such a huge disturbance. Do you know you are disgracing my Great Qin Imperial Family?"
"I think there is no need for you to take a concubine. Sign this document, let the Gu Family girl leave your residence, and come with me to the Imperial Clan Court to be punished!"
With a casual toss of her hand, a document voluntarily severing the relationship between the Gu Family's daughter, Gu Qingxue, and Qin Luo drifted before him.
Chen Mo watched this scene, and it felt all too familiar. The difference was that before, he had seemed like nothing more than a joke.
The entire city had watched him make a fool of himself, while people in their circle had mocked him.
"I want to see whether you dare be as arrogant before Princess Qin Yun as you were before me!" Chen Mo stared fixedly at Qin Luo. He wanted to see Qin Luo slapped in the face, and he also wanted to see Qin Luo slap Qin Yun's face.
Though the latter possibility was not great, if it truly happened, he would no longer remain the laughingstock on everyone's lips.
Qin Luo took the document and looked at its contents, the corner of his mouth twitching. "Heh, what impressive authority!"
His gaze settled on Qin Yun. He smiled faintly, then tore it apart.
"Who the hell do you think you are? What right do you have to order me around?"
"Even His Majesty approved of me taking a concubine. What is your status? Do you think your position is more exalted than His Majesty the Qin Emperor of my Great Qin Dynasty?!"
Boom!
No one had expected Qin Luo to openly defy Qin Yun.
Qin Feng could not help admiring Qin Luo. "As expected, a newborn calf fears no tiger. Looks like someone is finally venting my poor concubines' anger for them."
Qin Yun's expression changed in an instant, her cold gaze landing on Qin Luo.
"What audacity! You ignorant thing that knows neither heaven's height nor earth's depth. As expected, the child born of a bitch has a bitch's mouth!"
"Today, I will properly teach you a lesson and let you know what manners are!"
With a flash, her figure vanished. When she reappeared, she was already before Qin Luo, her palm swinging toward his face.
Qin Luo spoke coldly, "You insulted my mother. Your mouth deserves a slap!"
Smack!
A solid slap landed squarely on Qin Yun's face.
