Chapter 1241: A Cold Wind Blows Behind the Neck!
Chapter 1241: A Cold Wind Blows Behind the Neck!
Qin Fen calculated endlessly, but never expected Lin Fei to appear at his Qin family villa estate.
Originally, he planned to use fabricated lies to fool Lin Fei and get through the imminent danger.
Qin Fen had self-awareness; even the Yuan siblings were not a match for Lin Fei, and Qin Fen, with strength on par with Yuan Hong at the fifth layer of the Saint Sect, was naturally no match for Lin Fei either.
Therefore, Qin Fen opted not to act rashly against Lin Fei and instead chose cunning deception to deal with him.
However, all his lies lost effectiveness in an instant when Lin Fei asked, "Can you be more shameless?"
Surrendering to the reality of his failed performance, Qin Fen conceded, "Lin Fei, don't kill me, your women are unharmed in Panlong City. If you spare me, I can have them returned to your side."
Lin Fei nodded, "Hmm, there's some sincerity to that."
Then Lin Fei said, "But these days, I cannot leave Thousand Dragon City. Zimo, Xiao Xiao, once I'm done handling affairs here, I'll have you send them here."
Qin Fen showed a hint of a pleasing smile and said, "Lin Fei, if you want them here, I'll immediately have people from Panlong City bring them."
"Hmm." Yet, Lin Fei looked at Qin Fen and asked, "Earlier, you told me that the Yuan brothers were bandit villains who brought Yuxi and others forcibly from Huaxia to the Holy Dragon Continent, right?"
Qin Fen was startled: Had he said the Yuan brothers were bandit villains?
Nonetheless, being clever, Qin Fen nodded quickly and said, "That's right, the Yuan brothers are villainous bandits beyond redemption."
"Then, would you be willing to join me to deal with such villainous bandits?" Lin Fei asked with a smile.
Qin Fen was taken aback, "Join you in dealing with them?"
Lin Fei nodded solemnly, "To be precise, the Yuan family; we'll deal with the Yuan family together."
Qin Fen suddenly felt he was being trapped by Lin Fei's words.
"I... my strength is too weak, not a match for the Yuan family. Young Master Lin should find other experts; I'd only end up causing trouble for you." Realizing the implications, Qin Fen quickly responded.
The Qin family always had good relations with the Yuan family, how could he agree to go against the Yuan family with Lin Fei?
However, Lin Fei looked at Qin Fen and asked, "Are you truly unwilling to join me against the Yuan family?"
Of course, Qin Fen was unwilling, but seeing Lin Fei's gaze gave him an inexplicable sense of unease, so he switched stance, "What does Young Master Lin need me to do?"
Only then did Lin Fei show a slight smile and said, "That's more like it, Fourth Young Master Qin. I know you have reservations about Yuan Zheng, but I don't need you to fight the Yuan family; I just need you to publicly declare in two days at the Yuan family's grand marriage that Yuan Hong forcibly took Yuan Yuxi and brought her to the Holy Dragon Continent."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fen was already beyond shocked.
Publicly declaring at the Yuan family's marriage that Yuan Hong forcibly brought Yuan Yuxi to the Holy Dragon Continent would utterly ruin the Yuan family's reputation. The prestigious city lord's son forcibly snatching women — which family in Thousand Dragon City would follow the Yuan family thereafter?
Doing so puts the Yuan family in a situation of injustice and turmoil.
Moreover, Qin Fen is the young master of the Qin family, and the close ties between the Qin and Yuan families are widely known. If Qin Fen revealed this, hardly anyone would doubt his words.
Just thinking about it made Qin Fen shiver, realizing Lin Fei's move would leave the Yuan family's name desecrated and him in mortal danger.
If the Qin family found out he did this against the Yuan family, they certainly wouldn't let him go.
Qin Fen's eyes flickered with light, and within this short moment, he considered the pros and cons clearly.
"Young Master Lin, pardon me, I can't do it." Qin Fen's eyes suddenly emitted a fierce cold light, and he swiftly retreated several meters.
Suddenly.
The air shook, and an incredible aura spread out.
Qin Fen appeared with an eye-blinding sword light.
From the sword, Lin Fei felt a powerful aura and realized it was a Sixth Grade Sacred Magical Artifact, providing some defense against experts of the sixth to seventh layers of the Saint Sect.
Lin Fei thought of acquiring this sword for his brothers and women, as he had too few swords stored in his Storage Ring.
Looking at Qin Fen standing several meters away with hostility, Lin Fei remarked, "You want to fight me."
Qin Fen's eyes flared with anger as he replied, "Lin Fei, I refuse to assist you against the Yuan family. Stop fantasizing!"
Beside Lin Fei, with no time to retreat, Qin Kai was told by Lin Fei, "You flee swiftly; are you not afraid your brother might get injured by me?"
Qin Kai showed a tense expression, not expecting Qin Fen to suddenly move away, leaving him alone before Lin Fei.
He also wanted to immediately back away from Lin Fei, but his previous encounter witnessing Lin Fei's abilities compelled him to remain cautious, having been sealed at crucial points instantly by Lin Fei's energy. How could he dare to act rashly?
Looking at Lin Fei, Qin Fen replied nonchalantly, "Lin Fei, if you dare harm my brother, my Qin family definitely won't spare you."
Although Qin Kai was his brother, in Qin Fen's mind, his own life was more important. At this point, he must prioritize his own safety.
Lin Fei was surprised by Qin Fen's cold-blooded ruthlessness and said, "Fine, since you won't join me against the Yuan family, let's settle this with swords."
Qin Fen snorted, "Who fears whom?"
As soon as he spoke, Qin Fen's sword stirred up a formidable sword light, as if a storm surged towards Lin Fei.
Amidst a booming roar, the storm-like sword light crashed down violently, causing the living room's floor to burst, dirt flying, shaking the entire villa intensely.
Where Lin Fei had stood was now a wide pit several meters across, a sight that shocked the onlookers.
With that sword, Qin Fen had destroyed the entire living room into disarray, but what shocked him was that his powerful sword, aside from creating a large pit, failed to harm Lin Fei.
Because Lin Fei vanished into thin air!
At this moment, footsteps rapidly approached, and dozens of cultivation experts rushed in through the living room door.
These were cultivation experts from the Qin family villa estate, drawn by the commotion in the living room.
"Fourth Young Master, what happened?" Seeing the pit and disarray in the living room, the cultivation experts were stunned and asked Qin Fen.
However, Qin Fen seemed not to hear their questions, his demeanor tense, gaze vigilant, surveying the surroundings with cold, sharp eyes.
Lin Fei was gone, yet instead of feeling safe, Qin Fen felt even more uneasy.
He was certain his sword didn't hit Lin Fei. Otherwise, given the sword's power, Lin Fei would be in dire straits.
But where had Lin Fei gone?
"Search the entire villa estate immediately, don't miss any corner, find Lin Fei!" Qin Fen ordered the cultivation experts frantically.
All the cultivation experts were startled: Lin Fei?
Could it be Lin Fei, the one under citywide search these past two days?
Regaining composure, they replied, "Yes, Fourth Young Master!"
Then, the cultivation experts left the living room, beginning their search throughout the villa estate for Lin Fei.
In the living room, Qin Fen held the sword, sweat forming on his brow, for reasons he couldn't discern — despite initiating the attack which forced Lin Fei into hiding.
He still felt an inexplicable fear, as though his previous confrontation with Lin Fei had been supported by mere pretense of calm, only now revealing deep-seated fright.
Suddenly, he felt a cold wind at his neck, but how could there be cold wind in the living room?
With that realization, a chill ran down his spine!
