Chapter 474: The Killing Intent Arises!_1

Seeing the iron plate placed before him, Xuanyuan Jianxue bit down on his teeth, but eventually his knees went soft, and he knelt directly upon it.

Though Xuanyuan Jianxue wore long pants, the iron plate had been chilled by ice and was extremely cold; as soon as his knees touched it, he sharply inhaled from the pain.

"Hiss..."

Xuanyuan Jianxue’s body trembled violently, yet he dared not speak another word, nor did he dare to stand up, but rather knelt there obediently.

As for Xuanyuan Wangting, he was leisurely holding a cup of steaming hot tea, slowly sipping it.

After ten or so minutes had passed, Xuanyuan Jianxue could no longer feel his legs, but still, he did not dare to move and could only sit there watching.

Some time later, Xuanyuan Wangting finally came before Xuanyuan Jianxue, "Do you know what your error is?"

"I... don’t know..."

Xuanyuan Jianxue lowered his head, also being honest.

Because indeed, he did not know what he had done wrong.

"I know you hold deep malice towards Yin Tian, but such matters, your mistake was exposing yourself before him."

Xuanyuan Wangting watched Xuanyuan Jianxue with a cold gaze, a chill flickering in his eyes, "Given that Yin Tian dared to challenge the four great families alone, do you think he is someone simple?"

"I..."

Xuanyuan Jianxue wanted to say something else, but Xuanyuan Wangting interrupted directly, "I do not blame you for the conflict that occurred with him, but why, after you wanted to move against him, would you send those around you to deal with him?"

"In front of Yin Tian, you had those foreign boys trouble him. Do you think you can fool anyone and remove yourself cleanly from the matter?"

"Moreover, at that time, those people might not have felt anything, but what about afterward? All of them suffered greatly at the hands of Yin Tian, and yet they still took up your cause, but you did nothing."

"If I hadn’t intervened and made you beg Yin Tian for mercy, what do you think you would look like in the eyes of those people?"

Xuanyuan Jianxue fell silent.

These issues raised by Xuanyuan Wangting were indeed ones he had not carefully considered.

Now that Xuanyuan Wangting suddenly brought them up, he was struck with realization.

"I... I understand, Dad..."

Xuanyuan Jianxue started to speak slowly, finally understanding why his father had become so furious and had to punish him.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Jianxue finally recognized his fault, Xuanyuan Wangting’s expression eased slightly.

"Then Dad... why would you still want my sister to marry him? You know full well my relationship with him..."

"A test."

Xuanyuan Wangting said indifferently, "Ignoring the rest, Yin Tian is indeed talented. If he can be utilized by us, it would naturally be excellent. However, if he cannot be used by us, such a person is a threat by his very existence."

Xuanyuan Jianxue remained silent, unsure of what to say.

However, Xuanyuan Wangting continued, "I truly do like that young man, it’s just a pity..."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Jianxue’s body suddenly trembled slightly.

Having lived with his father for more than twenty years, how could he not know his father’s temper?

When Xuanyuan Wangting uttered such words, it meant that he had already harbored the intent to kill!

"Alright, you can get up now."

Xuanyuan Wangting glanced at Xuanyuan Jianxue and spoke indifferently.

Xuanyuan Jianxue tried to stand up, but his pants had adhered tightly to the iron plate, preventing him from rising.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Wangting poured the hot water from his teacup directly onto the iron plate.

Xuanyuan Jianxue only felt a loosening beneath his knees and quickly stood up...

Eleven o’clock at night.

Yin Tian was finally released by Qiao, allowing him to return to the South District.

Qiao, apparently having drunk a lot, was somewhat slurred in his speech but still kept chatting non-stop with Yin Tian.

Yin Tian, while forcing out the alcohol from his system using a secret technique, accompanied Qiao in conversation.

When the car stopped in front of the villa, Yin Tian also let out a sigh of relief.

"Qiao, take it easy. I’ll be heading back now."

Yin Tian waved to Qiao, watching the car leave before he stepped toward the villa.

In fact, as soon as Yin Tian got out of the car, he had already sensed many hidden presences around him.

However, those people bore him no ill will.

They were people Sir Li had placed there to protect the safety of Su Qinwei and the other girls, and to ensure that a fire would not break out again.

Yin Tian walked straight into the villa to discover that Su Qinwei and the other girls had already gone upstairs to sleep.

Yin Tian glanced at the sofa, then up the stairs, and ultimately chose to go upstairs.

A night without words.

The next morning, while Yin Tian was still in his slumber, he faintly heard voices arguing.

Yin Tian opened his eyes groggily and walked out of his room, wanting to go downstairs to check.

He had just descended the staircase, not yet having spoken...

When he saw a girl dressed in sumptuous clothes with above-average looks slap Jiang Qingwu across the face!
