My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 287: Fan Ruobing Cried

Fan Ruobing had thought she could use their power to give Yang Qi a harsh lesson, but she never expected it to turn out like this. She hadn't seen what Yang Qi did at all. The two so-called experts had simply dropped to their knees, their legs bleeding profusely. Is this magic?

"I know you can still get up," Yang Qi's cold voice rang out. "Stand up and slap this wretch!"

The two experts rose to their feet and turned to face Fan Ruobing.

"What are you two lackeys doing?! You took the Fan Family's money! What do you think you're doing?!" Fan Ruobing shrieked in terror.

SMACK!

One of them slapped Fan Ruobing across the face. "Our apologies, Miss Fan!"

I'm about to go insane! These are the people my Fan Family hired! And they dare to strike me?

"Are you insane? Do you have any idea what will happen to you for touching me?" Fan Ruobing roared.

SMACK!

The other expert slapped her as well.

"Of course we know," one of them said. "But we know even better what will happen to us right now if we don't obey him!"

The two experts were terrified beyond measure. Yang Qi's methods were simply not those of a mortal. It was just like the legendary manipulation of a Magic Artifact! Do true Magic Artifacts really exist in this world? This is too preposterous.

Two bright red handprints now marked Fan Ruobing's fair, rosy cheeks. At this moment, her mind was a complete blank. She simply couldn't accept it. Someone in Kang City dared to hit me? To slap my face? The most infuriating part is that these two were hired by my own Fan Family! This is just too outrageous. Utterly preposterous! I am the treasured pearl of the Fan Family, the wealthiest family in Kang City. Since childhood, I have always been the one who bullied others. No one has ever been qualified to bully me. My family background and looks are both top-tier! I have the right to look down on others, the power to humiliate anyone I please. Anyone I set out to deal with has always been dealt with successfully. But now, I'm the one being slapped? And all because of some unemployed vagrant? A bankrupt piece of trash? How can I ever accept this? Aren't these people afraid to die? Don't they understand that offending the Fan Family means they can no longer make a living in Kang City? They might even be killed!

But her assailants showed no sign of stopping. The two experts delivered ten slaps each. Fan Ruobing felt like she was on the verge of death before Yang Qi finally waved his hand. "You can get lost now."

As if granted a pardon, the two experts hastily hailed a cab and fled.

Yang Qi looked mockingly at Fan Ruobing, whose face had swollen up like a pig's head. "Is hitting people fun? Did you get a good taste of it yourself today? I'm telling you, if anything like this happens again, I'll make sure you die without a burial plot."

With that, Yang Qi hailed a taxi and went home. Watching his departing figure, Fan Ruobing was overcome with fear, humiliation, and rage. The complex emotions nearly drove her mad.

When she got home, she ran to Fan Shengren and told him what had happened. Fan Shengren was thunderous with rage.

"However, we might not have to lift a finger," Fan Shengren said after calming down.

"What do you mean?" Fan Ruobing asked, confused.

"People from Thunder City have arrived! To be precise, people from the Thunder Sect," Fan Shengren said. "I heard that the destruction of the Li Family had something to do with Yang Qi. It seems he asked the Heavenly Supervision Hall for help to rescue Cao Zhendong. As a result, they happened upon the Li Family's illicit business, and the Heavenly Supervision Hall wiped them out in one go. Even Li Chong and his son were killed.

"Li Chong was the godson of the Thunder Sect's leader, Master Lei. Master Lei has no children of his own and was extremely fond of Li Chong. He probably doesn't dare to confront the Heavenly Supervision Hall, but since Yang Qi was involved, he is as good as dead."

"That's fantastic," Fan Ruobing said coldly. "That bastard dared to hit me. This time, I'll make sure he dies an ugly death."

"Ah!" Suddenly, Fan Shengren let out a painful cry. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Grandfather, what is it? Is your old illness acting up again? Why has it been flaring up so frequently these past few days?" Fan Ruobing was worried sick. "You can't collapse! If you fall, the Fan Family is finished!"

Although the descendants of the Fan Family were all quite capable, they were plagued by severe infighting. If Fan Shengren wasn't there to hold things together, the family would have fallen apart long ago. Therefore, none of them wanted Old Master Fan to die. But recently, Fan Shengren's symptoms had been flaring up more and more frequently, each time more severe than the last. It was no wonder Fan Ruobing was so worried.

"It's nothing. It's always like this. I won't die from it," Fan Shengren said, waving a dismissive hand.

「That day, an important figure arrived in Kang City.」

Rumor had it that he was Cao Xingjian, a disciple of the Thunder Sect's leader, Master Lei. The first thing he did upon arriving was to find the heads of the Song and Qi Families.

"Greetings, Young Master Cao!" The two family heads immediately knelt on the ground to welcome him.

With Li Chong dead and the Kangshan Sect destroyed, the Thunder Sect had to send someone to clean up the mess and investigate the cause of Li Chong's death.

"Rise," Cao Xingjian said, glancing at the two men indifferently. "Family Heads, spread the word for me. I intend to hold a martial arts tournament in Kang City. Everyone from all circles must attend. Anyone who fails to show up will be disrespecting me, and by extension, the Thunder Sect!"

He wants to use this tournament to showcase the Thunder Sect's might! The two family heads exchanged a look, understanding Cao Xingjian's intention.

"We will see to it at once!" they both affirmed with a nod.

Having lost Li Chong as their backer, their only option was to pledge allegiance to the Thunder Sect. As it stood, their two families were the only ones left propping up the city's business alliance and were no longer able to contend with the Zhao and Fan Families. They desperately needed to find a new patron, and this was their chance.

"Also," Cao Xingjian said coldly, "I heard Li Chong's death is connected to that Qifei Group?"

"It seems so. It's because Alliance Hierarch Li kidnapped Cao Zhendong, who is a key technician for the Qifei Group," the Song Family Head replied.

"I see." Cao Xingjian was silent for a moment before continuing, "I don't understand business operations. Do you two have a way to take down this Qifei Group?"

The Song Family Head smiled. "Actually, we have thought of a good idea."

"Speak!" Cao Xingjian commanded.

The family head quickly explained the plan.

"Despicable and shameless," Cao Xingjian sneered. "But I like it. I'll leave this matter to you. If you need men, just ask. I brought plenty of experts with me this time!"

The heads of the Song and Qi Families looked at the men in black uniforms and masks standing behind Cao Xingjian and sucked in a sharp breath. This is insane. There were thirty-six of them in total, and every single one was a Great Grandmaster. Among them were two Fourth Rank Great Grandmasters and four Third Rank Great Grandmasters. This lineup was terrifying. With such a force, they could take down any organization in Kang City.

As for Master Lei's closed-door disciple, Cao Xingjian, he was even more formidable. The two of them couldn't see through his Realm at all.

「Qifei Group.」

Li Qingyan was in a meeting when her phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.
