Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Chapter 115: "Go to the Coffin!Ye Tianchen’s arrival put an immediate stop to the engagement ceremony between Qi Ruxue and Qin Heng; first, the group of over twenty armed elite bodyguards Qin Heng had ambushed were sent flying by Ye Tianchen one by one, followed by a kick that sent Qin Heng’s father, Qin Taoyuan, soaring through the air. As for Qin Heng himself, he was left with a bleeding head wound by Ye Tianchen, a new injury on top of an unhealed one—a warning from Ye Tianchen not to forget the pain once the scars heal.

Both Qin Heng and his father, Qin Taoyuan, lay on the ground unable to rise, and as for Qin Yi, witnessing his son and grandson being beaten so miserably, and an outsider like Ye Tianchen storming into his Qin family to strike so recklessly, he couldn’t handle it. Overcome with rage, he fainted there and then.

The only ones still standing now, aside from Ye Tianchen, were Qi Ruxue, Qi Changsheng, and Qi Ruhai, and all three of them were staring at Ye Tianchen in amazement—even Qi Ruhai was no exception, as he also had not expected the Ye family’s grandson, Ye Tianchen, to have such audacity and boldness to cause such a commotion at the Qin family. He probably was the only one who would dare to do so.

Qi Ruhai’s status was not low either. If it really came to comparing, he was only a bit behind Qin Yi and was also seen as a personage who made a name for himself in the older generation. He had heard of Ye Tianchen before but never paid much attention. Frankly speaking, for people at their level, most news was just something to listen to—there was no need to pay attention, nor was it necessary. Sometimes, it was treated as a jest; after all, there were many major forces and a lot of big families in Capital City, and it was not strange to occasionally have some foolish scions appear.

The engagement between Ye Tianchen and Qi Ruxue back then was also decided by Qi Ruhai and Ye Yuanshan, intended to create a strong alliance between the Ye family and the Qi family. However, as the Ye family’s decline became more apparent, Qi Ruhai started to have regrets. Marital alliances between families could sometimes be crucial, hitching to the right one could cause a family’s power to rise significantly, while a poor match could also drag one’s own family into decline.

Just when Qi Ruhai was unsure what to do, Qin Heng, coveting Qi Ruxue’s beauty, begged his grandfather Qin Yi to speak to the Qi family. In doing so, Qin Heng utterly disregarded Ye Tianchen, trying to snatch his love. Qin Yi also disregarded the declining Ye family; otherwise, if the Ye family had been any major lineage, how would the Qin family dare to poach?

A phone call from Qin Yi got Qi Ruhai out, and the two old men decided on the engagement between Qi Ruxue and Qin Heng. This led to Qi Changsheng personally going to the old Ye family house to call off the engagement.

Today, Ye Tianchen truly made Qi Ruhai take him seriously. Regardless of the consequences, the fact that this young man dared to act and storm into the Qin family was impressive for his courage alone.

"You... what do you want to do?" Qin Heng, his head covered in blood, was in agony and the sight of Ye Tianchen approaching him made him quite sober with fear. While scooting back on the ground, he asked in terror.

"Nothing much, the coffin is empty anyway, why don’t you get in and take a nap, make some use of it?" Ye Tianchen said to Qin Heng with a smile.

"No, no, Brother Ye, I... I know I was wrong, I won’t dare to provoke you again, please let me go...," begged Qin Heng, utterly terrified knowing full well that Ye Tianchen meant to put him into the coffin. He could only imagine the scene of being alive and being put inside a dreary, all-black coffin—it was spine-chilling to even think about it, let alone being put in one.

"Too late, I always keep my word, even if I’m talking in my sleep." While speaking, Ye Tianchen grabbed Qin Heng’s shoulder, lifted him like a small chicken, and started walking step by step towards the big black coffin.

"Don’t, Brother Ye, spare me, spare my life..." Qin Heng struggled in vain, nothing changed the fact that he was being taken to the coffin. Ye Tianchen’s physical strength might not yet be formidable, but it was more than enough to handle an ordinary person.

Bang!

Ye Tianchen kicked open the lid of the big black coffin, which turned Qin Heng’s face pale, especially with blood on his head—it looked even more miserable, and tears nearly fell from his eyes. At that moment, he truly regretted it; he should have never provoked Ye Tianchen or picked a fight with him. Ye Tianchen was like a harbinger of death, a fearless Death God; messing with him was simply courting death.

"Brother Ye, I realize my mistake, I really won’t challenge you anymore, please let me go, I...I won’t get engaged to Qi Ruxue anymore, I’ll leave her to you, to you..." In his terror, Qin Heng tried every possible way to beg for mercy.

Bang!

Qin Heng was thrown into the big black coffin, his head hitting the wood and leaving him dizzy. Ye Tianchen coldly picked up the coffin lid and said, "Even though Miss Piggy isn’t pretty and is quite shrewish, you still don’t deserve her!"

The tragic Qin Heng was tossed into the coffin and closed in with the lid, filled with extreme regret. He should have never troubled Ye Tianchen, the Death God who, if provoked, no one could afford to mess with.

Ye Tianchen stretched languidly and turned towards the Qin family’s gate to leave, not saying anything to Qi Ruxue, nor paying any attention to Qi Ruhai and Qi Changsheng. He had done what he needed to do: teach Qin Heng a lesson and liberate Qi Ruxue. It was that simple. As for what others thought or felt about it, that was their concern.

Even during this process, there were bold guests who still stood not far away to watch. When they saw Ye Tianchen put Qin Heng into the coffin, they were so shocked their jaws almost dropped. Yet Ye Tianchen paid them no mind, repeating the same sentiment: as long as others did not provoke him, he wouldn’t wildly strike out like a madman.

"Hey, where are you going?" Qi Ruxue called out in a hurry when she saw Ye Tianchen about to leave, finally reacting.

"Going home, there’s nothing fun left here. Should I stay for dinner if not going home?" Ye Tianchen turned, looked at Qi Ruxue with a smile, and said.

"You, I, I’ll go back with you," Qi Ruxue said with a blush on her face.

"Huh? Better not, I don’t like having a ’female pig head’ following me," Ye Tianchen said, shaking his head indifferently.

"You..." Qi Ruxue’s cute little face became enraged, and her fists clenched tightly. She really wanted to throw a few punches at Ye Tianchen. The man was insufferable; despite her being as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, he dared to call her a pig head. He was truly asking for a beating.

"Bye-bye, don’t follow me. I don’t like clingers!"

Having said this, Ye Tianchen left without looking back, leaving Qi Ruxue fuming, stamping her small foot and clenching her fists tightly. This guy had no emotional intelligence at all; he was really infuriating.

Watching Ye Tianchen’s departing figure, Qi Changsheng couldn’t help but think of something, and then whispered to his father, Qi Ruhai, "Dad, what do we do now?"

"Let’s go. The engagement between Ruxue and Qin Heng ends here," Qi Ruhai also said, looking at Ye Tianchen’s disappearing back.

"Got it!" Qi Changsheng nodded and replied.

"Right, we shouldn’t interfere in Ruxue’s personal feelings anymore. If she can really end up with Ye Tianchen, maybe... that wouldn’t be bad," Qi Ruhai said with a smile. Sёarch* The Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Hearing his father Qi Ruhai’s words, Qi Changsheng was stunned. He never expected his father, Qi Ruhai, would change his mind. Knowing his father well, he understood that once Qi Ruhai made a decision, it wouldn’t change. Just like this time, when Qi Ruhai decided to break off the engagement with the Ye family and form a marital alliance with the Qin family, Qi Changsheng sometimes felt sorry for his daughter. He tried to subtly persuade his father to change his mind, but it never worked.

It seemed that Qi Ruhai genuinely had high hopes for Ye Tianchen. His outstanding performance in the Qin family’s estate would likely impress many influential figures. No one would have expected the once laughingstock of the Capital City to become so formidable. The declining Ye family appeared to have a trend of rising, which also put another major power and family at a sense of crisis. The rise of one family would inevitably affect their power balance, especially those more sinister forces. They would not allow the Ye family to develop unchallenged...

Ye Tianchen left the Qin family estate. As he walked out, no one dared to stop him. If he had the guts to beat Qin Heng and Qin Taoyuan, father and son, and made Qin Yi collapse to the ground, such a fierce brother was not someone people would dare to provoke easily.

Qi Ruxue was taken away by her father, Qi Changsheng, and her grandfather, Qi Ruhai. Soon afterward, police and ambulances arrived. Qin Yi, Qin Taoyuan, and Qin Heng—three generations—were carried onto ambulances. The two unluckiest police officers barely managed to pry open the coffin lid to extract Qin Heng. By the time Qin Heng was out, his eyes had turned somewhat white, and he was foaming at the mouth, looking thoroughly frightened and suffering from a heavy blow to the head—he was practically done for.

At this time, Ye Tianchen walked out of the Qin family’s estate, strolling along the trail in the bamboo forest. He was walking slowly, not eager to leave quickly. As he walked out of the Qin family estate, he felt a powerful surge of energy following him, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

Stopping for a moment in the middle of the bamboo path, Ye Tianchen took out a cigarette, inhaled a drag, and then changed direction, heading towards the Small Bamboo Forest. He wanted to see who could be following him closely enough to attempt an assassination.

Just as he walked deep into the Small Bamboo Forest, whoosh! A Flying Knife shot towards Ye Tianchen’s head at high speed. Ye Tianchen frowned; he could feel that the knife was thrown with considerable force, easily capable of piercing through ten bamboo shafts without a problem. The assailant was definitely a master, and very likely an expert in using hidden weapons. (To be continued.
