NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Qin Yuan, Do You Dare to Face Me Like a Real Man?:
“Qin Yuan, are you trying to humiliate the Su family?”
“I remember you gave those resources to Mengyao. Now that you’re here to break off the engagement, why should she return them?”
Lin Yun was eager to get ahead and angrily scolded Qin Yuan: “Why should anyone return a gift? Resources are consumable, and I believe those have long been used up.”
“Mengyao, isn’t that right?”
Lin Yun turned to Su Mengyao, who nodded subconsciously, agreeing with his statement.
The Su family members were astonished by Lin Yun’s intervention, soon expressing admiration and adoration. Even Su Yuanshan showed approval, as if deciding that Lin Yun would be his son-in-law.
Lin Yun felt proud under everyone’s gaze, his confidence growing as he straightened his back, standing tall like a spear.
But Qin Yuan remained calm and said evenly, “Did I say it was a voluntary gift?” As he spoke, Qin Yuan produced a blank sheet of paper.
Suddenly, golden words appeared on the paper.
When everyone saw the golden writing, their expressions changed. Su Mengyao’s mouth opened slightly in shock.
Qin Yuan had never said the resources were a gift.
Though they passed through his hands, they required the consent of the Qin family. This was Qin Yuan’s backup plan, a safeguard left by his family.
The Qin family’s message was clear: if the young master liked your daughter, the resources would be given. But if the engagement was broken, the resources must be returned in full. If not, there would be consequences.
Su Yuanshan’s face turned pale. He had hoped Qin Yuan would forget, but clearly, he hadn’t.
“Master Su, the terms are written in gold on white paper. If you refuse, the Su family will have to face the consequences.”
Qin Yuan’s expression remained cold. His purpose had been achieved.
“I…”
Su Yuanshan hesitated.
He didn’t want to part with the resources, the result of the Su family’s hard work. Giving them up would mean all their efforts were in vain. He silently cursed the heavens, feeling as if his family was doomed.
“Qin Yuan, must you be so heartless?”
Su Mengyao looked at Qin Yuan with resentful eyes, her expression full of hurt.
“Heartless? Humph!”
Qin Yuan’s gaze turned icy, chilling Su Mengyao to the bone.
At this moment, she realized how strange Qin Yuan had become. He had once loved her, willing to give up everything for her. Why was he like this now?
“Qin Yuan, what are you trying to do? Do you intend to bully Mengyao in front of everyone in Dacheng?”
Lin Yun stepped in, blocking Qin Yuan’s intense gaze, his words laced with hostility.
“Patriarch Su, I’ll give you three breaths.”
Qin Yuan ignored Lin Yun, still focused on Su Yuanshan.
Su Yuanshan sighed inwardly, filled with regret. He wished he had tried to reason with Qin Yuan earlier. Perhaps there might have been a way to resolve the issue of the resources.
But the Su family had underestimated Qin Yuan, not treating him as a real contender. Now they were paying the price.
Su Yuanshan removed the ring from his hand, which held all the resources Qin Yuan had given to the Su family over the years. But just as he was about to hand it over, Lin Yun intervened.
Seeing Su Yuanshan’s confusion, Lin Yun raised his head, looking at Qin Yuan with determination. “Qin Yuan, do you dare to duel with me like a real man?”
“If I win, you must return the resources to the Su family!”
“A duel?”
Qin Yuan looked at him with disdain. “Why should I compete with you? What do I stand to gain?”
“I…”
Lin Yun was momentarily speechless. After a long pause, he asked,
“Then what do you want?”
“What do I want?”
Qin Yuan’s smile was cold. “I want the ring on your hand.”
“My…ring?”
Lin Yun looked at the cyan ring on his hand. It was a relic from his mother, ordinary and without special properties, only a keepsake. He didn’t understand why Qin Yuan would want it.
But despite his reluctance to gamble with it, he asked himself, would he lose?
Suddenly confident, Lin Yun looked at Qin Yuan without fear and nodded. “Alright, let’s make that the bet!”
He was confident of his strength. Qin Yuan, a supposed loser, was no match for him. After all, Qin Yuan had only just entered the Heavenly Spirit Realm, while he had already reached the 4th stage.
“Young Master Lin, the fate of my Su family is in your hands.”
“Brother Lin, you must defeat Qin Yuan!”
“Lin Yun, you can do it!”
The Su family members prayed for Lin Yun to defeat Qin Yuan, convinced he would succeed. They all knew Qin Yuan’s cultivation level was far below Lin Yun’s.
With everyone looking at him as if he were a savior, Lin Yun felt his blood surge with pride.
Opposite him, Qin Yuan remained calm, as if everything was under his control.
Boom!
Lin Yun unleashed his aura, and a golden dragon shadow flickered around him. “Dragon Breaking Fist!”
He clenched his palms and charged forward at lightning speed, far exceeding that of others at his level. As his fist, covered in a golden dragon, neared Qin Yuan, he refused to dodge, seemingly intent on taking the blow head-on. Lin Yun was delighted.
He couldn’t believe Qin Yuan was so foolish, not even attempting to dodge, as if he intended to take the full force of his attack with his body!
Foolish!
A full-force punch from Lin Yun could shatter even a monster at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
Lin Yun could already imagine the scene of Qin Yuan crying out in pain.
Bang!
Dust and smoke filled the air as Lin Yun’s punch connected with Qin Yuan. He smiled faintly, certain that Qin Yuan was done for.
But then, amidst the dust and smoke, light footsteps echoed.
Lin Yun froze in disbelief as a figure emerged calmly. Qin Yuan, dressed in spotless white, walked out unscathed.
Lin Yun was stunned.
The entire Su family was shocked!
“You! How is this possible!”
Lin Yun’s voice trembled with fear.
“Too weak.”
Qin Yuan said with disappointment, before throwing a punch of his own. The punch was so powerful that Lin Yun, caught off guard, was sent flying.
