Chapter 491

"How would I know?"

"He's putting on airs just because he has a bit of strength. Since he promised to come and still isn't here, does he expect all of us to wait for him?" Yun Yun Hejiang was already in a foul mood and couldn't help but complain.

*Swish!

Five magic puppets instantly appeared behind Qin Qin Xuejun.

With the force of a thunderbolt, they lunged toward Yun Yun Hejiang.

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Holy crap!

Attacking just like that?

*Clang!

Yun Yun Hejiang's face was dark as pitch as he slashed one of the puppets apart. "What is the meaning of this?"

"It means nothing. I just don't like you," Qin Qin Xuejun said with an icy expression.

*Swish!

If five puppets can't take you down,

then ten, or a hundred will!

Everyone present was a top-tier professional.

Although Yun Yun Hejiang and his group spoke quietly, everyone could hear them.

It was just unexpected.

Earlier, when Yun Yun Hejiang targeted Qin Qin Xuejun personally, she had only retorted verbally.

Yet, the moment Li Yao was mentioned, she attacked directly?

Such a fiery temper?

The key point was,

this was a venue organized by the Ge family!

Moreover, a restaurant of such high caliber surely had a top-tier noble family behind it!

And the one being attacked was from the Yun family of Kunlun City.

How was this any different from poking a hornet's nest?

Offending three top-tier powers all at once!

Even the Qin family shouldn't be this reckless.

Qin Qin Xuejun, however, wasn't thinking that far ahead.

The battle was imminent.

Ten magic puppets relentlessly attacked Yun Yun Hejiang.

Various skills exploded with deafening roars.

*Crack! Crack!

The entire reception hall was instantly reduced to a ruin by the shockwaves of the skills.

Everyone hurriedly retreated.

Amidst their shock, their faces wore expressions of schadenfreude.

Two great noble families fighting—no matter who won, it was a good thing!

They could even, before the Newcomer Competition,

get a preview of the strength of Qin Qin Xuejun and Yun Yun Hejiang!

Only Yun Yun Hejiang had a face so dark it could drip water.

He slashed his blade at a puppet and roared:

"Qin Qin Xuejun, are you sure you want to fight me?"

Ten magic puppets launched their assault simultaneously, suppressing Yun Yun Hejiang within a few short breaths.

His disheveled state stood in stark contrast to Qin Qin Xuejun, who stood calmly in the distance.

Having trained with Xue Xue Jiulan for so long and undergone the baptism of the border trial,

the current Qin Qin Xuejun was not the same person she was during the border trial!

"You really are trash. You're getting beaten up and you still have the breath to talk nonsense," Qin Qin Xuejun said coldly.

"Qin Qin Xuejun, stop. Give me some face," Ge Ge Shuqing said, walking over with a darkened expression.

"Give you face? How big is your face?"

"When this guy was being snide about my senior brother earlier, why didn't you come out to stop him?"

*Swish!

Another five magic puppets appeared out of thin air and attacked Yun Yun Hejiang.

Ge Ge Shuqing's expression was extremely ugly. "Even if Yun Yun Hejiang was in the wrong, he didn't attack."

"Zhenrui Mansion is a property of the Jingcheng Zhang family. By fighting here, aren't you slapping the Zhang family in the face?"

"The Zhang family? Zhang Zhang Yucheng?"

Qin Qin Xuejun thought for a moment, then glanced at the disheveled Yun Yun Hejiang.

"Fine, I'll give Zhang Zhang Yucheng some face."

Ge Ge Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it was her venue; if the fight continued, it would be a slap to her own face.

The magic puppets suddenly vanished.

Yun Yun Hejiang couldn't hold back his momentum.

Holding his long blade, he stumbled forward a few steps.

He lifted his head, his face dark.

The faint, mocking smiles on the faces of the surrounding professionals were blindingly offensive to him.

*Swish!

A displacement skill was released.

He appeared in front of Qin Qin Xuejun almost instantly.

His face was ferocious, like a demon from the abyss looking to devour someone.

"Die!"

The long blade slashed horizontally.

Qin Qin Xuejun's expression changed.

It was too late for a displacement skill.

She immediately prepared to use an invincibility skill.

The Newcomer Competition was right after the luncheon.

Losing an invincibility skill now would be a massive disadvantage.

*Swish!

A figure blocked the path in front of Qin Qin Xuejun.

Everyone's expression tightened.

There was no energy fluctuation, so how was the speed so fast?

And,

he caught Yun Yun Hejiang's blade with just his fingers?

"What is going on here?" a clear, calm voice rang out.

"Senior brother?!"

Qin Qin Xuejun called out, her expression changing instantly to one of grievance. "He's bullying me!"

"No!" Yun Yun Hejiang looked horrified; he had no idea who the person in front of him was. "I didn't!"

"Huh?" He realized something was wrong.

No matter how hard he tried to pull his blade out,

it felt like it was cast in iron, not moving a single inch!

*Slap!

Yun Yun Hejiang only saw a black shadow flash by.

A stinging pain in his right cheek, and after a dizzying spin, he was plastered against the wall behind him.

*Hiss!

The sound of people gasping in shock echoed repeatedly.

A single slap sent Yun Yun Hejiang flying?

Could it be

that the post on the Star Net was true?

"Chief General, please stop," Ge Ge Shuqing hurriedly stepped forward.

"And what kind of thing are you?" Li Yao said coldly.

The old principal had told him to come and support Qin Qin Xuejun.

Be as arrogant as he wanted!

He turned to look at the pitiful-looking Qin Qin Xuejun.

"What about her? Did she attack you?"

"Yes!" Qin Qin Xuejun nodded repeatedly.

"She blocked me and wouldn't let me fight back, that's why this trash was able to sneak attack me!"

Ge Ge Shuqing was stunned, frozen in place.

The people around them also stared at Qin Qin Xuejun in utter confusion.

Wait,

you weren't acting like this just a moment ago!

They finally realized

what it meant to be a 'witch'!

Li Yao turned around and looked at Ge Ge Shuqing.

Ge Ge Shuqing subconsciously took a step back.

Thinking of Yun Yun Hejiang's miserable state, she explained hurriedly:

"No, Qin Qin Xuejun attacked first. I didn't know Yun Yun Hejiang would be so insane, I really didn't!"

"Right! My brother is Captain Ge Qiu of the Some Jingyu Martial Academy. The Chief General should know him; he has mentioned you to me many times."

"You blocked Qin Xuejun but didn't block that guy."

"Looking at it this way, this banquet doesn't seem to welcome us Some Jingyu people."

"A misunderstanding, it's truly a misunderstanding."

Ge Ge Shuqing hurriedly stepped up, returning to the dignified demeanor of a noble daughter:

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!

"I just didn't want Qin Qin Xuejun to keep fighting; after all, this is the Zhang family's restaurant. As for him," Ge Ge Shuqing pointed to Yun Yun Hejiang, who was plastered to the wall,

"he has already paid the price he deserved. Please, give me some face."

"Let's go, let's change to another hall."

"There's the Newcomer Competition this afternoon; if there are any conflicts, Miss Qin Qin Xuejun can take her revenge at the competition, right?"

"Fine, seeing as your brother is a Some Jingyu student, and for the sake of Zhang Zhang Yucheng, I'll give you some face."

"But this guy, make him leave."

The main thing was that the old principal told him to hold his ground; he couldn't just hit someone and leave.

Hearing this, Ge Ge Shuqing looked troubled.

She really didn't want to offend the Yun family.

"He is the second son of the Yun family and also a participant in the Newcomer Competition. How about..."

"Hmm, I know. And then?"

Ge Ge Shuqing's eyes flickered, thinking of the purpose of hosting this banquet, and she said calmly:

"Alright, I understand."

She clapped her hands.

Several waiters rushed in from outside.

"Help me send Young Master Yun to the hospital, and also, change to a private room."

Yun Yun Hejiang was carried out of the hall, half-dead.

A single casual palm strike had left him near death and in a deep coma.

Yun Yun Hejiang was not weak.

He was even stronger than most people present!

At this moment, no one dared to doubt Li Yao's combat power.

They moved to a different private room.

No one came to pick a fight again.

Li Yao was happy to be idle.

He tasted the food.

People came over to toast him from time to time, and Li Yao didn't refuse any of them.

"I have to say, the food at Zhang Zhang Yucheng's family restaurant is actually quite good," Li Yao praised.

"By the way, why didn't they come?" Li Yao asked.

"They said it was very boring, so they didn't come," Qin Qin Xuejun replied. "But I had no choice! Some Jingyu Martial Academy is the host of this Newcomer Competition; they invited me, and I couldn't refuse."

"You can think of things like that?" Li Yao remained skeptical.

"Of course! Senior brother, don't look down on me; I am very sensible!" Qin Qin Xuejun felt a bit guilty.

"Did the teacher tell you to come?"

"Uh, senior brother is truly smart."

Amidst the clinking of glasses,

an hour passed slowly, and the banquet reached its end.

Ge Ge Shuqing, sitting next to Li Yao, had deep eyes. After taking a shallow sip of the wine in her glass, she looked at Li Yao, who was chatting with Qin Qin Xuejun.

Just as she was about to speak,

suddenly,

there was a commotion outside.

The banquet hall doors were pushed open, and two hurried figures entered from outside.

It was also at this moment

that the communication device in Li Yao's pocket vibrated.
