Was the elder too weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thought was quickly dismissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the elder were too weak, he wouldn’t have been entrusted as the young master guardian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one explanation—Li Xun was too strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That attack, though seemingly simple, had been lightning-fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so fast that it fooled the elder into thinking Li Xun had used a clone technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Tianhai and Chen Bo knew better—this was the result of Li Xun’s incredible speed, not an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That must be at least an earth-level movement technique, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And he must have cultivated it to at least minor completion...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Tianhai’s mind buzzed with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young genius who was not only powerful but also had mastered an earth-level movement technique, capable of challenging those of higher cultivation realms. No matter how he looked at it, the Qin family had struck gold with this marriage alliance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Qin, how do you suggest we deal with these two troublemakers in the Qin family’s hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xun’s voice snapped Qin Tianhai back to the present.

I will personally visit the Chen family later to demand an explanation. How dare they act so brazenly in the Qin family hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever had happened before, Qin Tianhai wasn’t foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t allow the Chen family to take the moral high ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By declaring that Chen Youshang and the elder had been the ones to cause trouble first, the Qin family maintained the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Chen family wanted to retaliate, they would have to swallow this bitter pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Youshang and the black-robed elder were dragged out, Qin Tianhai turned to Li Xun with an apologetic smile, \"I’m sorry you had to witness such unpleasantness, Nephew Li. Rest assured, I will handle this matter appropriately so that it doesn’t cause you any further trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Youshang had been crippled by Chen Bo, and the elder had been injured by Li Xun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chen family would surely come seeking revenge, especially against Li Xun. And likely, they would try to ambush him when he left Luoye City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Tianhai’s responsibility was to ensure none of this happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Chen family is nothing to worry about,\" Li Xun said with a light chuckle, seemingly unconcerned by the recent events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, with the Profound Sun Sect and the Li family backing him, Li Xun’s influence in the region was unparalleled, at least within tens of thousands of miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, by the way, Uncle Qin...\" Li Xun seemed to recall something and continued, \"I have heard that your daughter Qin Xueyi is virtuous and talented. I am here today under the orders of my parents to present a betrothal gift. I hope you will accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Chen Lao stepped forward, holding a tray with a storage ring on it, which he presented to Qin Tianhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Tianhai laughed heartily, \"The Qin and Li families are old allies. There’s no need for such formalities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s only proper,\" Li Xun replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well,\" Qin Tianhai said, nodding. \"I’ll accept it, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the betrothal gift accepted, the marriage was practically set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next step would be the exchange of marriage contracts, a process that required both families’ elders to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous life, Li Xun and Qin Xueyi’s marriage hadn’t come to fruition because the marriage contracts were never exchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed and Qin Xueyi’s power grew, the matter was left unresolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some more polite conversation, Qin Tianhai arranged for Li Xun to stay at the Qin residence for the time being, which suited Li Xun just fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to see more of this story and don’t mind paying $5 each month to read the latest post, please go to myPatreon1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Chapter in Patreon:Chapter 100: \"We Greet Senior Brother Li Xun!\"1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>https:\u002F\u002Fwww.patreon.com\u002FHannibalNotBarca1\u003C\u002Fp>",1277,"2026-06-09T06:00:56.617Z",1,"novelbin.me","8eebc1fce8024707ea7f0787333ad7868119cccde0b1ed2a2f5d3e8208863d24","i-thanks-to-my-unlimited-investment-am-admired-b-chapter-43","i-thanks-to-my-unlimited-investment-am-admired-b-chapter-41",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-thanks-to-my-unlimited-investment-am-admired-b-cover.jpg"]
