Chapter 590: They Deserved It
Qin Yan and Qin Cui never dreamed that Qin Bi, with her low cultivation base, would strike Qin He and make her spit blood on the spot.
What is going on?
Someone with a lower cultivation base beat someone with a higher one??????
But regardless of the situation, Qin Bi's lethality was undeniable. The Hou Fu descendants were left shaken; those who had spoken ill of Qin Bi behind her back stepped back in fear.
Especially the young ladies of the Hou Fu, who resented that Qin Bi had married the son of a powerful minister and stolen their good marriage prospects. If it had been Qin He, it would have been different; Qin He was blessed and was also a disciple of the Immortal Sect.
What did Qin Bi have? She was much older than them, yet she had married so well?!
Because of these thoughts, the young ladies of Qin Yan Hou Fu who had reached marriageable age had always been dissatisfied with Qin Bi. At this moment, their minds were in a fog; unable to grasp the situation, they dared not speak.
Qin He Shizi and Cui Xiao were stunned, and even Qin Tan and Qin Di paused. Recalling the fighting spirit that Qin Bi had once been unable to suppress, they guessed that her innate fighting spirit had flared up again.
Qin Tan felt uncertain, after all, the fighting spirit had calmed down before.
As Qin Bi walked toward Qin He, Qin He Shizi called out, "Qin Bi."
He feared Qin Bi would deal a fatal blow. Compared to Qin He's beaming smile upon meeting her, Qin Bi seemed to have no sisterly affection for Qin He at all. Though both were Rong Shizifei, Qin Bi possessed an extra measure of boldness.
Before Qin Bi married, she did not show this side; otherwise, Qin He Shizi would not have disregarded this half-cousin. Now that Qin Bi was married, the difference between a Rong Shizifei of a powerful minister and an ordinary Rong Shizifei was clear.
Both Qin Bi and Qin He appeared to have husbands who cherished them, but Qin Bi's position was more secure.
Qin He loved returning to her natal home to show off her marital harmony. Valued by Xue Wang Fu, the children she bore were even born with two auspicious clouds. Qin He was in high spirits and loved to show off.
Qin Bi had no such intention; by comparison, Qin He fell short.
Qin Bi glanced at Qin He Shizi but did not stop there. She approached Qin He. Qin Yuan had already helped Qin He up. Qin He felt a burning sensation in her chest, as if she had returned to the time when her fate, which hindered He He Shizi from having a wife or children, had plagued her.
"Do you want an explanation from me?" Qin Bi asked Qin He.
Qin Bi showed no expression; if there was any, it was a faint hint of contempt. An immortal sect female protagonist? Nothing special. She had been somewhat restrained before.
One with a lower cultivation base should not challenge one with a higher base, but Qin He had injured people from the Third Branch, which was unacceptable.
Once Qin Bi's bottom line was crossed, the fighting spirit could no longer be suppressed.
If it couldn't be suppressed, so be it. Seeing her cousin from the Third Branch injured, Qin Bi no longer wished to suppress her fighting spirit. She was naturally warlike; with the killing intent of her fighting spirit rising, Qin Bi dared to fight Qin He.
She had thought the outcome uncertain, but who knew Qin He was no match at all.
"Your Rong Juan hit our Fubao," Qin He said, glaring fiercely at Qin Bi.
Qin Yuan also glared angrily at Qin Bi. Fubao was a First-Rank Little Junzhu, conferred by the Great Yan Emperor. They were there to demand an explanation from Qin Bi; let's see what she would do. They were all Rong Shizifei.
Qin Bi found this hilarious and replied, "If they hit Fubao, they deserved it."
"You..." Qin He snapped, "You are too oppressive."
"Didn't you think my cultivation was low and came here to take out your anger on me?" Qin Bi ruthlessly exposed Qin He's thoughts. "What? Now that you've been beaten, you think I'm being too oppressive? One cannot be so unreasonable."
Qin Yuan retorted, "You are the unreasonable one. People from the Second Branch, come over here."
Qin Jue was furious, angry both that Qin Bi had struck too hard and that Qin He was being unreasonable. Now was the time to gather resources and build their family foundation; children fighting could be discussed later.
Moreover, Great Yan had Rong Wang Fu and Yan Guogong Fu. Xue He Shizi could have gone to Rong He Shizi or He He Shizi to demand an explanation. Qin He coming to Qin Bi lacked justification.
The few people from the Second Branch, who were certainly allied with Qin Yuan and Qin He, walked over.
Qin He Shizi was also angry, and Qin Tan and Qin Di frowned.
Seeing this, Qin Yuan, Qin Xiang, and the others hurried to intervene. "Enough, don't add to the chaos."
Qin Yuan would not listen. The few from the Second Branch followed Qin Jue and Qin Yuan. Qin Jue's face turned iron green. Qin Yuan did not heed the advice; Rong Juan had hit Fubao, Qin Bi refused to give an explanation, and even beat Qin He Jiejie, as if the Second Branch didn't exist.
Qin Bi had long been dissatisfied with Qin Yuan and wanted to beat her up. Qin Bi called out, "Brother, Qin Lang."
Qin Bi meant to summon only Qin Tang, Qin Xun, and Qin Lang, but suddenly, everyone from the Third and Fourth Branches rushed over, including a half-brother from the Third Branch with a scarred face.
Qin Cui, the Fifth Branch's legitimate son, stamped his foot. "Brothers and sisters, don't be angry. We are not outsiders."
Qin He, already furious, activated her summoning artifact and waved a burst of spiritual power toward Qin Bi and the others. Lin Yao stood beside Qin Bi, ready to intercept, but Qin Bi had already placed the summoning artifact in her hand into Qin Tang's hands.
Immediately, Qin Bi whipped up a gale, raised her hand, and the wind suddenly surged, flipping Qin He and Qin Yuan onto the ground. They rolled more than ten meters away, and Qin Yuan's arm was scraped raw against the rocks.
Everyone blinked, unable to believe their eyes. Qin He's cultivation was far higher than Qin Bi's, yet Qin Bi, without even having her cultivation level classified, had instantly defeated Qin He with a single strike and even beaten Qin Yuan along the way. What was going on?!
Qin He tried to get up, but Qin Bi controlled the wind force to pin her firmly to the ground. Sand and stones flew around her. Fortunately, since Qin Bi's cultivation was low, only sand and small pebbles were whipped up, leaving Qin He in a wretched state.
"How did you manage to injure someone with higher cultivation?" Lu Yuan was extremely curious.
Qin Bi glanced at him. "I could even kill her."
Oh my. Seeing Qin Bi's expression, Qin Yuan and Qin Wu did not doubt for a second that Qin Bi would kill Qin He. They hurriedly tried to dissuade Qin Bi. Just now, they had tried to dissuade Qin He, but Qin He would not let it go.
Now, Qin Bi did not intend to let Qin He off.
Qin Di quickly warned Qin Bi, "Don't kill her."
Qin Jue urgently pleaded, "Qin He is already injured. Spare her."
Qin Bi did not intend to listen to anyone. Under Qin He Shizi's shocked gaze, she controlled the wind sphere to press down, intending to kill Qin He. Unexpectedly, the gale would not press down; the Heavenly Dao was protecting Qin He.
Qin Bi's face grew cold. She forcefully tried to kill Qin He. The Heavenly Dao supported the killing power of the wind sphere. As Qin Bi pressed down, Qin He spat out large mouthfuls of blood in the clash of these two immortal forces.
"Qin Bi!" Qin Tan saw something was wrong and cried out in alarm, "Stop immediately! The Heavenly Dao is protecting Qin He!"
Qin Bi also felt that her restored lifespan was not stable. She had no choice but to press down on Qin He one more time with full force, then withdrew the gale of flying sand and stones. Qin He spat blood and fainted. Qin Jue rushed over immediately.
"Sister," Qin Lang admired, "Are you this powerful?"
Qin Bi smiled wryly. Some things could not be said at this moment. Whether she was powerful depended on how well her loved ones treated her. With the Third and Fourth Branches standing by her side, she could wield immortal power to beat Qin He.
Not killing Qin He was a pity.
