Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Protecting You_1 Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Protecting You_1 “You’re not worthy…”
Qin Qinglong only felt these three words, were unbearably grating to his ears, causing his pride to suffer a tremendous blow.
Even Chen Baishi and the entourage were astounded, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Even Zhu Yangyuan, who had hitherto remained composed, no longer sat with his eyes closed in meditation, but slowly opened them, looking at Xu Fan with eyes brimming with chilliness.
Xu Fan actually said that Qin Qinglong wasn’t worthy to be Xu Yue’s husband?
How could this be possible?
Was he, Xu Fan, so arrogant that because of him, even his sister had become incomparably precious, so much so that even Qin Qinglong, the dragon of the Qin Family, was not good enough?
For a moment, several people thought this joke was too much and couldn’t help laughing.
What kind of a charming person was Qin Qinglong?
A truly rare talent, a dragon among men, a roc soaring through the nine heavens, a True Dragon that commanded the wind and rain.
One should say that Xu Yue was fortunate to catch the eye of Qin Qinglong, and Xu Fan should feel lucky and happy about this.
Could it be that Xu Fan had lost his mind?
Come down with madness?
However, as for Qin Qinglong and his people’s reactions, Xu Fan’s side appeared as if it were only natural and saw nothing inappropriate.
After all, in their eyes, Xu Fan was already akin to a divine being descended from the heavens.
And as the beloved of a divine being, Xu Yue was naturally of extreme nobility; not only was Qin Qinglong unworthy, even those monstrous geniuses of the Ancient Martial World who came around once every few hundred years were probably not a match for her.
Therefore, matters of Xu Yue’s affections were entirely up to her heart’s desire, no amount of power or influence could sway her decision.
Qin Qinglong felt his face fluctuating between shades of anger and pale shock, one moment hot as if on fire, the next cold as frost, with anger pulsing in his eyes.
Since childhood, he had exhibited extraordinary talent, a king among children, and as he grew up, a leader among his peers—how dazzling he was.
In the whole nation, it was hard to find someone more outstanding than him, and only Xu Fangli could barely compare, yet still fell a half step behind.
Thus, his path in life had always been accompanied by countless admirers and applause, earning praise and veneration, truly one of the favored by heaven.
But today,
it was the first time he had heard someone say he wasn’t worthy.
Qin Qinglong had always believed that among his peers across the country, any girl he set his eyes on would have no unwillingness; they would wish to marry him on the spot.
Yet today, this situation had arisen.
It was ridiculous!
“Xu Fan, don’t you think you’re being ungrateful?
I’ve given you so much face, yet you humiliate me like this.”
“I, Qin Qinglong, consider myself quite capable and indeed have taken a liking to Miss Xu Yue.
Hence, I wanted to bring Miss Xu Yue into my family.
But here you are, questioning whether I am worthy of your sister.
On what basis do you utter these words?”
Qin Qinglong felt a raging fury inside him but still suppressed it, his voice icy as he spoke.
Yet he thought…
Hmph, were it not for your status, would I even bother to argue?
I would have subdued you from the outset.
Even if Chief Steward Li would back you up, it wouldn’t stop me from striking in my rage.
At this moment, he could no longer contain himself, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.
“On what basis?”
Xu Fan pondered seriously for two seconds, then lifted his head with a smile, calmly stating, “Just because I’m her brother.”
“Hahahahaha…”
Qin Qinglong burst into wild laughter, no longer holding back, his face twisted with fierce emotions as he coldly articulated, “Very well, since you like courting death, then congratulations, you have indeed provoked me.”
“Now, I shall use my fists to teach you just how ignorant and ungratefully presumptuous someone like you, who has merely stepped in dog sh*t and become complacent and disdainful, really is.”
Qin Qinglong’s aura, while he spoke, kept rising.
It affected the entire private room, the temperature plummeted, and even the airflow turned sluggish.
As his momentum reached its peak, Qin Qinglong’s rage completely erupted, and from his outstretched hands, there arose the clanging sound of metal striking metal upon flexing his fingers.
It looked like he was about to make a move.
Li Fuqiang sighed, shook his head, and stood up, his eyes fixed on Qin Qinglong’s face, he said in a deep voice, “Minister Qin, do you really have to take action?”
Qin Qinglong remained silent for several seconds, finally twisting his brows and saying, “Chief Steward Li, are you going to protect Xu Fan?
Just as I suspected.”
“However, I still want to give it a try, despite not wanting to offend you.
But Xu Fan is so arrogant, he has bullied me, and his people have mocked me time and again.”
“As the saying goes, what can be tolerated and what cannot, if I don’t teach him a lesson, where will my face be?
Where will my dignity be?
Chief Steward Li, I advise you to stand aside, lest it tarnish your reputation when word gets out.”
By the last sentence, his voice had significantly intensified, and his tone was particularly forceful.
“Bang!”
Nan Bowan suddenly slammed the table with his palm, also stood up, and looked at Qin Qinglong, with his robust and icy true Qi already mobilized within him, causing the moisture around him to crystalize into fine ice particles.
“Qin Qinglong, you really are quite audacious, to think of striking at a protector of our same organization in the presence of Old Li and me.
Do you really not take Chief Steward Li and me seriously?” Nan Bowan glared as he spoke.
“Protector Nan, it seems that you too are openly siding with Xu Fan.
Using power to oppress people, yet speaking so righteously.
Are you trying to pull rank?”
Even faced with two Martial Kings, Qin Qinglong did not show weakness and continued to talk unabashedly, even gaining the upper hand in the conversation.
“Minister Qin, to speak like that really disheartens me and Old Nan.
The reason we’re stopping you isn’t to protect Xu Fan, but to protect you,” Li Fuqiang sighed.
“Protect me?
Hahaha…” Qin Qinglong laughed loudly.
“It seems you don’t believe it,” Li Fuqiang shook his head, “I’m speaking the truth, I truly don’t wish to see Protector Xu personally destroy a minister with such a bright future.”
“Chief Steward Li, huh, you sure have a sense of humor.”
Qin Qinglong pursed his lips and chuckled coldly, “Do you mean to say that Xu Fan is stronger than me?”
“Exactly.”
Li Fuqiang took a deep breath and in a calm tone said, “Minister Qin, from the looks of it, you probably haven’t thoroughly understood Protector Xu.
Haven’t you ever wondered how Protector Xu went from being an ordinary protector to a ranked protector in such a short period of time?”
“That’s because Protector Xu demonstrated enough strength.
Just recently, he killed the Executor Bao Yuan of the Black Blade Organization with his own hands in mere seconds, faced two Jin Gang Qiankun Twin Swords alone and killed them, and even easily captured the Executor Lei Fei.”
“What?!
No…
impossible!”
Qin Qinglong’s expression abruptly changed, and he glanced at Xu Fan incredulously, shouting loudly, “I can’t see how he has that kind of ability.”
“Minister Qin, do you think we have any reason to lie to you?
If Chief Steward Li speaks a half-truth, you can hold me accountable.
I was involved in the affair, I witnessed it with my own eyes, I even nearly died at the hands of the Qiankun Twin Swords.
It was Xu Fan who saved me.”
Nan Bowan spoke solemnly.
Qin Qinglong’s expression stiffened, it seemed the matter was true.
“Oh, and you must have heard about the Island Country Sword Saint Liusheng Chuntree being killed by a mysterious expert from Yan Country, Xu Wufang.
That Xu Wufang is none other than Protector Xu,” Li Fuqiang said in a quiet voice, but to Qin Qinglong, it was like a bombshell that left his ears ringing.
This…
Liusheng Chuntree was also a God Realm powerhouse, a top expert among the God Realm.
And he was killed by Xu Fan?
What do you think?
