First Volume, Chapter 424: Even Heaven's Old Man Comes, I Still Beat Him!

Even though he had now become the Liang Emperor's greatest threat, Qin Feng felt no guilt about being a corrupt minister or a court jester.

His only motives were to preserve his own life, to better develop Shedynasty, and… to make more small money.

After leaving the Palace Gate, Qin Feng and Qin Tianhu went their separate ways, preparing to visit the Xie Residence.

At this moment, the DaTang of the Xie Residence was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

Xie Yun'er, who had just narrowly escaped death, still trembled with lingering fear and sat silently on a side seat. Xie Bi, who had rushed back, wore a face full of rage—especially as he stared at the Sixth Prince, wishing he could punch him right in the face!

The Sixth Prince grinned and bowed to Xie Bi: "Lord Ning, yesterday there was a misunderstanding. Though the misunderstanding has been cleared, I still intruded into the Xie Family's Back Residence and disturbed your daughter. No matter how you spin it, it was my fault. Today, I've come specifically to apologize to Lord Ning."

As he spoke, the Sixth Prince gave a half-hearted bow—there was not the slightest sincerity in his apology.

Inside, the Sixth Prince sneered: as a true Prince, merely showing up in person to apologize was already giving the Xie Family more face than they deserved.

Xie Bi, though furious, had no recourse.

After all, the man standing before him was not just a Prince—he was a Prince granted special privileges by the Holy Emperor.

Even if this were taken to Dali Temple or Zongzheng Temple, no one would accept the case; and even if they did, they'd only try to smooth things over.

Moreover, yesterday Xie Yun'er did strike the Sixth Prince. For her to have survived at all was already miraculous.

Xie Bi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his rage, and forced a smile: "A trivial matter, unworthy of mention. Your Highness, please leave."

Seeing Xie Bi's dismissal, the Sixth Prince said nothing more and turned to leave.

But as he reached the Gate, before he could even reach for the door, it swung open on its own.

Seeing Qin Feng suddenly appear outside, the Sixth Prince froze.

Qin Feng hadn't expected such luck—he'd run into the Sixth Prince here. After a moment of surprise, his face lit up with delight.

Before the Sixth Prince could react, Qin Feng burst into loud, ecstatic laughter.

The sound made the Sixth Prince deeply uneasy. He snapped: "You… what are you laughing at?"

"Get out of my way! I'm returning to the Palace!"

Return to the Palace? Return to hell!

Qin Feng stepped into the residence and locked the Door behind him, smiling as he sized up the Sixth Prince.

"It was you who flirted with my fiancée?!"

At those words, the Sixth Prince realized he was in trouble and instinctively stepped back two paces.

After all, Qin Feng was no longer the man he once was—even the Holy Emperor feared him somewhat, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered the Sixth Prince to come apologize here.

In all of Jingdu, the Sixth Prince feared no one—except Qin Feng, standing right before him.

Everyone knew this man was brazen beyond measure; there was nothing he wouldn't dare do.

At the same time, the word "fiancée" struck straight into Xie Yun'er's heart.

Just moments ago, Xie Yun'er had been filled with bitterness. She didn't care about trouble—even if Imperial Guard blades were pressed against her neck, she wouldn't have flinched.

But…

Since her incident, Qin Feng hadn't come to check on her, nor had he sent even a single word of comfort.

Xie Yun'er had nearly given up, convinced she meant nothing at all to Qin Feng.

But now, hearing Qin Feng say "fiancée," her resentment vanished instantly. Her pale little face flushed warm, like spring returning.

Xie Bi was secretly delighted!

He'd been at a loss how to deal with the Sixth Prince—now that Qin Feng had arrived, he would surely make the Xie Family pay back this hatred tenfold.

Qin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, circling the Sixth Prince once, making "tsk-tsk" sounds.

"I thought the legendary Sixth Prince was some three-headed, six-armed hero—turns out he's such a weakling."

As he spoke, Qin Feng slapped the Sixth Prince's slightly trembling thigh.

He didn't even use force—but the Sixth Prince staggered back two steps in shock.

Seeing the Sixth Prince's nervousness, Qin Feng laughed harder: "With this little courage, how dare you come flirting with my fiancée? May I ask—who gave you the courage?"

The Sixth Prince took a deep breath, forcing himself to steady his nerves, and gritted his teeth: "Qin Feng, I am a true Prince! Don't you dare act so recklessly!"

"If you so much as touch a single hair on me, the Holy Emperor will exterminate your Nine Clans!"

Facing the Sixth Prince's threat, Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh.

"You're already at death's door, and still talking big?"

"Looks like you're used to getting your way. As a Prince, you dared to wander out alone, with no guards at all. Do you really think you can walk all over Jingdu?"

The Sixth Prince's heart lurched.

What? Death's door?

In his entire life, no one had ever dared to threaten him with those words.

But looking at Qin Feng's smug grin, the Sixth Prince felt a wave of dread—and secretly cursed himself for not checking the almanac today. Why did he have to run into this reckless fool?

The Sixth Prince stepped back, turning to Xie Bi for help: "Lord Ning, you… you must stop Qin Feng! If anything happens to me in your Xie Residence, your entire family will be held accountable!"

Xie Bi lifted his Tea Cup, sipped calmly: "Your Highness, don't worry. When Qin Feng strikes you, I will naturally intervene to protect you."

Hearing this, the Sixth Prince's heart sank halfway to ice.

He finally understood: Xie Bi and Qin Feng, father-in-law and son-in-law, were teaming up to crush him.

In desperation, the Sixth Prince tried to scare Qin Feng off: "Qin Feng, if you dare lay a finger on me, I'll—"

Before he could finish, Qin Feng's fist shot forward.

It landed squarely on the Sixth Prince's nose—blood sprayed instantly.

"Ahh!"

The Sixth Prince clutched his nose, crouched on the ground, trembling violently.

Raised in luxury since childhood, the Sixth Prince had never even been bruised—now, with his nose broken by Qin Feng's punch, he felt unbearable agony, as if he were about to die.

For a moment, the entire Xie Residence echoed with the Prince's scream.

This sight startled Xie Bi so badly that he spat out his tea in one gulp.

Xie Bi had assumed Qin Feng was merely intimidating the Prince, to teach him a lesson for the future—he never expected Qin Feng would actually strike.

"Qin Feng, you… stop at once!"

Xie Bi sprang to his feet, his face filled with shock: "If he reports this to the Zongzheng Temple, the trouble will be immense."

Watching Xie Bi hurry over, Qin Feng remained unmoved, sneering: "Go report it wherever you like! I'm a petty man risen to power—I'm relying on the National War, unafraid of consequences! So what? I don't believe the Emperor would sacrifice the entire Shedynasty for this vile worm!"

"Dare to lay a hand on my woman? Even heaven's king comes, I'll still beat him!"
