The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1424 - 1415: The Qins’ Indifference, Rushing Upon Hearing

Chapter 1424: Chapter 1415: The Qins’ Indifference, Rushing Upon Hearing

A bright, round moon hung in the night sky.

Silvery moonlight poured into a somewhat dim room.

The room was very simply decorated, and the unconscious Qin Shuangshuang lay on a wooden board. It was clearly a place where servants of the Qins lived.

Qin Shuangshuang’s eyelids twitched slightly before she suddenly opened her eyes, feeling a tightness in her chest and a burning anger that refused to extinguish in her heart.

Qin Shuangshuang sat up from the wooden board and looked at the tightly closed door. She clearly felt that her meridians had been sealed and couldn’t circulate spiritual energy through her body at all.

With a deep breath through her nose, Qin Shuangshuang knew that tomorrow, after the Qins handed her over to the Zhengs, the Lius, and the Hus, her fate would be extremely miserable. She hadn’t expected her own family to be so cold-hearted and unfeeling—even her biological father, Qin Shifang, hadn’t stood up to say a word, leaving Qin Shuangshuang in absolute despair with the Qins.

"Creak!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The wooden door of the room was pushed open, and Qin Shifang, dressed in a white long robe, walked in. He looked at his daughter Qin Shuangshuang sitting on the wooden board, his face filled with concern, and said, "Shuangshuang, everyone is thinking of the Qin family. Our family simply can’t handle the alliance of the three families."

"Where did you get the elixir pills? Did you meet an expert? Maybe then we wouldn’t have to hand you over to the three families."

Qin Shuangshuang, sitting on the wooden board, appeared somewhat desolate under the moonlight. She bit her lip and said, "There’s no expert. I found those elixir pills in a cave."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shifang slightly furrowed his brow. Neither the Qins nor the Zhengs, Lius, or Hus had the privilege to obtain elixir pills. How could Qin Shuangshuang’s possession of them not stir thoughts among the Qins, including Qin Shifang?

"Shuangshuang, do you perhaps have more elixir pills? Listen to me: hand over all the elixir pills first, and I’ll plead with the ancestors to see if there’s a way out," Qin Shifang said softly, looking like a kind father.

But a mocking sneer appeared at the corner of Qin Shuangshuang’s mouth as she replied, "Father, are you even worthy of that title? Don’t I know you well enough? You’re just after my elixir pills. When you discovered I had them initially, you took them all away. What more do you want?"

"Now you’re going to hand me over to the three families. Spare us your hypocritical act; you’re unworthy of being my father. I have no elixir pills left."

Being reprimanded by his daughter, Qin Shifang’s face instantly reddened, and at that moment, the Qin family’s ancestor Qin Donghe, Qin Shifang’s younger brother Qin Shinan, and Qin Shinan’s son Qin Hua also walked in.

The Qin family’s ancestor, Qin Donghe, was also very concerned about the elixir pills, as he could tell that the pills obtained from Qin Shuangshuang were of excellent quality, possibly crafted by a master of alchemy.

"Qin Shuangshuang, do you truly have no other elixir pills?" Qin Donghe coldly questioned, a middle-stage Second Heavenly Layer Divine Thought Realm aura enveloping Qin Shuangshuang.

With her meridians sealed, Qin Shuangshuang couldn’t resist this aura with her spiritual energy. Even if her meridians weren’t sealed, she couldn’t withstand a middle-stage Divine Thought Realm aura, as her strength was only at the peak Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Spirit Communication Realm.

Feeling the overwhelming aura from the Qin family ancestor, Qin Shuangshuang bit her teeth tightly, her body surged with blood. After holding out for a few seconds, she finally couldn’t bear it, and with a "pfft," she spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Qin Shuangshuang’s face instantly turned pale, her breathing unsteady, and she laughed self-deprecatingly, "Ha, ha, ha. The Qins have completely abandoned me, and you dare to ask me such questions? You people are utterly shameless. I have no elixir pills, and even if I did, would I give them to people who make me nauseous?"

"Hmph!"

The Qin family’s ancestor Qin Donghe snorted coldly, waved his sleeve towards Qin Shuangshuang, and exclaimed, "Ignorant."

With the wave of his sleeve, a force struck Qin Shuangshuang’s body, and with another "pfft," she spat out fresh blood again, her body uncontrollably collapsing onto the wooden board, knocked unconscious by Qin Donghe.

"Ancestor, Qin Shuangshuang must have some elixir pills left; she just refuses to give them to us. Who is she? Women are just sacrifices in large families," Qin Hua stood up and said.

Qin Shinan looked at Qin Shifang and said, "Brother, you’re Qin Shuangshuang’s father. Do you know where she likes to hide things usually?"

Qin Shifang shook his head, his face expressionless, as if the unconscious person wasn’t his daughter, and said, "Shuangshuang has always been opinionated, and she doesn’t consult with me on many things."

The Qin family’s ancestor Qin Donghe waved his hand and said, "If Qin Shuangshuang still has elixir pills, then they should be hidden in her room. When the time comes, we’ll turn her room upside down to find out."

"Everyone, go rest. Tomorrow, the three families will come to demand her."

...

The next day.

As the sun slowly rose from the east.

Inside a inn named Fragrant Pavilion in Bei Yun City.

Ye Chenfeng pushed open the window of his room, breathing in the cool morning air. Then he quickly freshened up and put on a silver ghost-face mask.

Yesterday, Ye Chenfeng entered Bei Yun City as dusk fell, so he planned to find a place to stay first and meet Qin Shuangshuang the next day.

With the Black Xuan Sword hanging on his back, Ye Chenfeng went to the first floor of Fragrant Pavilion, where people had meals. He chose a corner table and ordered a few dishes casually.

As Ye Chenfeng prepared to eat breakfast, people gradually filled the surrounding tables, whispering about various topics that naturally didn’t escape Ye Chenfeng’s ears.

"Today is a big day for Bei Yun City! It’s the deadline for the Zhengs, Lius, and Hus with the Qins. Do you think the Qins will hand over Qin Shuangshuang?"

"Can the Qins refuse? Besides, although Qin Shuangshuang is the Family Head’s daughter, women have always been sacrifices in large families; they have no status at all. The Qins won’t gamble their entire family’s ruin for a Qin Shuangshuang."

"Looks like there won’t be a good spectacle to watch today, and the Qins can only swallow their anger."

...

The matters of the four families in Bei Yun City had stirred quite a commotion, and it could be said that everyone in Bei Yun City knew about the alliance of the Zhengs, Lius, and Hus against the Qins. Why did the heads of the Zhengs, Lius, and Hus die while only the Qins remained unscathed? The three families intended to vent their anger on the Qins.

Ye Chenfeng, sitting in the corner, tightened his expression beneath the ghost-face mask as he listened to the surrounding discussions. He hadn’t heard about the situation in Bei Yun City when he arrived at Fragrant Pavilion last night. Didn’t anticipate that Qin Shuangshuang’s situation would be so difficult now? Fortunately, he came to Bei Yun City this time, or he might never repay Qin Shuangshuang’s favor.

The surrounding people continued their discussions.

"The Zheng family’s ancestor Zheng Haifu has a middle-stage Second Heavenly Layer Divine Thought Realm strength, as do the Liu family’s ancestor Liu Anping and the Hu family’s ancestor Hu Yizhou. Today, the three family ancestors are likely heading to the Qin’s together. Who wants to go see the spectacle?"

"There’s no spectacle to see! These are the four families’ matters. If we go to watch, we might get involved inadvertently."

...

After understanding the situation from the surrounding conversations, Ye Chenfeng placed a High Grade Spirit Stone on the table and immediately left. In fact, one Lower Grade Spirit Stone was sufficient for breakfast, but unfortunately, Ye Chenfeng only had High Grade Spirit Stones, and he was in a hurry to reach the Qins, so he couldn’t care much.
