Is There Still Law? Is There Still Justice?

It was not only Qin Yun who had been dazed by Qin Luo's slap; everyone present had been shocked by it as well.

The scene they had expected was Qin Luo being crushed by Qin Yun, sent flying with serious injuries from a single slap. But now...

Qin Yun, who had reached Qin Luo, could not move a single inch. It was as if she had deliberately held her face out before him for him to strike.

Gu Qingxue, standing so close by, felt it most clearly. A suffocating pressure enveloped her, leaving her unable to move as well. The awe she felt toward Qin Luo only deepened.

[Gu Qingxue felt fear, losing 5000 Fortune Points. Host gained 5000 Villain Points.]

Qin Yun was consumed by rage. In all her life, this was the first time anyone had dared to slap her across the face!

At the same time, intense fear began to rise within her, because she could no longer control her own body.

She was no fool. Naturally, she knew that an immensely powerful existence was hiding in the shadows!

A Saint Realm expert! At the very least, it had to be a Saint Realm expert!

[Qin Yun was slapped in the face by the villain, losing 5000 Fortune Points. Host gained 5000 Villain Points.]

Boom! A powerful saintly might erupted.

"Such audacity! What rat dares behave so wildly in the Great Qin Imperial Capital?!"

This Saint Realm expert was Qin Yun's protector.

A middle-aged woman charged toward Qin Luo. Without the slightest restraint, she pressed her overwhelming aura down upon him, nearly making him cough up a mouthful of old blood.

He could not help taking two steps back. At that moment, Qin Yun broke free from her previous state and swung a slap at Qin Luo.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

Whoosh! A figure appeared before Qin Luo and viciously slapped that Saint Realm expert across the face.

"Get lost!" The rebuke made the woman's expression change drastically. Pfft! She spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

At the same time, Qin Yun was immobilized once more. Qin Luo sneered. "Let me make them symmetrical for you!"

Slap!

Amid everyone's dumbfounded stares, Qin Luo slapped Qin Yun across the other side of her face.

[Humiliation, rage. The villain continuously slapped Qin Yun in the face, causing her to lose 10000 Fortune Points. Host gained 10000 Villain Points.]

Qin Yun fixed Qin Luo with a frigid gaze, as though she were saying, "You're dead!"

"Qin Luo, you've got some nerve! That is our elder sister!" Qin Feng stepped forward at this moment to speak up for justice, trying to refresh Qin Yun's impression of him and earn a trace of her favor.

"Elder sister?" Qin Luo gave a cold laugh and said lightly, "My mother gave birth to only one child: me."

"Those who insult my mother deserve death! I, Qin Luo, am not afraid of blood splashing across this place!"

Since ancient times, filial piety had been greater than heaven! Qin Yun had humiliated his mother. No matter how the matter was argued, today, righteousness was on his side!

Now that they had become enemies, why bother exchanging hollow pleasantries?

Qin Yun sensed Qin Luo's sharp killing intent, and terror filled her heart. This cheap younger brother who had appeared out of nowhere actually dared to kill her?

Qin Feng was startled, a trace of cold laughter flashing through his eyes. Arrogant fool, this is the Great Qin Imperial Capital! After offending Qin Yun, you probably won't even know how you died.

Yet his face still showed anxious concern. "Ninth Brother, she is our blood relative, our elder sister from the same father. How can you do this?"

Qin Luo could not even be bothered to acknowledge him. In his eyes, Qin Feng was nothing more than a clown hopping on a stage.

The female Saint Realm expert looked at Su Qianchen with fear in her eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

"Su Qianchen!"

The voice rang in the woman's ears, and her expression instantly changed.

"You're not dead!" the woman cried out, fear evident in her voice.

Su Qianchen turned to look at Qin Yun. With a wave of his hand, she was sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Su Qianchen's voice sounded beside her ear. "If I hear you speak disrespectfully of my daughter again, I will cripple all your cultivation!"

Boom! A powerful force struck Qin Yun, making her spit out another large mouthful of blood.

Qin Yun struggled to her feet and glared furiously at Su Qianchen. She had never suffered such a loss before. Today was the first time, and it had to be the last.

She still wanted to utter a threat when the female Saint Realm expert's voice sounded beside her ear.

"He may be a Great Saint!"

Boom! Qin Yun felt as though her head were about to explode. Naturally, she understood the strength and status of a Great Saint. Her lips trembled faintly as she bowed to Su Qianchen.

"This junior spoke without thinking. Please calm your anger, Saint Su."

Insulting the daughter of a Great Saint was unacceptable, even if she were the only princess of the Great Qin Dynasty and the granddaughter of the Northern Suppression King!

After all, Su Qianchen's status as a Great Saint was almost equal to her grandfather's position.

That was why Su Qianchen had said that unless the Qin Emperor wished to kill him, he had few opponents in the Imperial Capital—or even throughout the Great Qin Dynasty.

"Hmph!" Su Qianchen snorted coldly, making Qin Yun feel as if she had been struck by lightning. She staggered again.

The situation had changed abruptly. No one had expected Qin Luo to have a Great Saint behind him.

"No wonder he's so arrogant. So he has a Great Saint backing him up." Qin Feng was so jealous he nearly ground his teeth to pieces.

Among all the imperial princes, both his faction and talent had originally ranked last.

And now, after Qin Luo had finally appeared, he had casually trampled Qin Feng beneath his feet?

The most stifled person here was Lin Xuan.

He knew Qin Yun's status perfectly well. He had thought that calling in a favor to bring Qin Yun here would be more than enough.

But now, a Great Saint had emerged behind Qin Luo, instantly plunging his mood to rock bottom.

Seeing Lin Xuan's expression, the corner of Qin Luo's mouth curled slightly. He had not forgotten this protagonist.

"Tsk, tsk. You came to snatch a bride from this prince? How fresh, how very fresh. Still, this prince is not an unreasonable man."

"If two people are in love and well matched in talent and looks, that is a fine tale."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Qin Luo's attitude now was completely different from the one he had shown just moments ago.

His gaze fell upon Gu Qingxue. "Gu Qingxue, are you willing to leave with that fellow called Lin Xuan?"

"If you are willing, this prince will grant your wish!"

Though Lin Xuan did not know what Qin Luo was planning, his heart surged with emotion. His eyes brimmed with expectation as he looked at Gu Qingxue.

Gu Qingxue's heart trembled. Such a difficult decision was being left to her?

If it had been before, she would not have hesitated in the slightest. She would have charged forward for love, with no regrets even in death!

But if she left, what would happen to her family? What would happen to her father?

Thus, faced with Lin Xuan's expectant gaze, she said coldly, "I'm unwilling."

Bang!

Qin Luo seemed to hear the sound of a heart falling to the ground and shattering.

After speaking, Gu Qingxue turned away, tears flooding from her eyes. It was clear that saying those words had been incredibly difficult for her.

Qin Luo sneered. But what did that have to do with him?

In any case, they were both going to die. He would let them become a pair of doomed lovebirds!

Do not call him ruthless and cruel. Who made him the villain? Who made them stand in opposing camps?

"Did you hear that?" Qin Luo looked at Lin Xuan and mocked, "She said she's unwilling!"

"If you two truly loved each other, this prince would have gladly fulfilled your wishes!"

"But you openly came to snatch a bride. That is a provocation against me, a prince of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

"This is the greatest insult to the Great Qin Dynasty! In the dignified Imperial Capital, someone actually dared to snatch the bride of an imperial prince!"

"Is there still law in this world? Is there still justice?!"

"Today, your head must be used to uphold the law of the Great Qin Dynasty!"
