Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

Having said his piece, Yin Tian walked straight out of the Xue Family home, without a hint of hesitation.

It wasn't until Yin Tian had walked far away that Xue Ruo sat down heavily on the sofa with a dark expression on his face.

Mr. Xue frowned tightly, looking at his father. "Dad, are we really just going to let this brat walk all over our Xue Family?"

"What else then? Do you want to humiliate me even more?"

Xue Ruo coldly looked at Mr. Xue. "I've told you before to keep a low profile outside, but you wouldn't listen. Did you hit a snag this time?"

"How many times have I told you that the glorious Xue Family in your eyes is nothing in front of some people? Why won't you believe it?"

Mr. Xue hung his head but murmur came from his lips, "But… I'm not content!"

"Such things can't be rushed. I've heard that the Lin Family, the Shang Family, the Wu Family, and several others all have grudges against him."

Xue Ruo turned his head and looked out the window. "Since there's already a knife ready, why should we get our hands dirty?"

"Dad, what do you mean?"

Mr. Xue's eyes lit up.

"Just endure for now."

Xue Ruo let out a cold laugh. "The reason that kid dares to be so rampant is purely because of the pitiful favor he has with Lord Long."

"He's gone begging to Lord Long several times to have him stand up for him. Lord Long might help him once or twice, but is he really going to do it every time?"

"He's just a son-in-law from the Su Family. Once Lord Long is disappointed in him, what do you think he and the Su Family amount to?"

"I understand!"

Mr. Xue muttered, a venomous glint flashing in his eyes. "By that time, not just him, but even the Su Family will be nothing but playthings!"

"But..."

Mr. Xue hesitated again and looked at Xue Ruo. "But, Dad, Yin Tian seems to have a very good relationship with the Eldest Princess of the Xia Family. If we move against that brat in the future, the Xia Family might help him."

"The Xia Family? Heh..."

Xue Ruo gave a slight laugh, his eyes filled with contempt. "The Xia Family won't be bouncing around for much longer..."

"Ah?"

...

After leaving the Xue Family, Yin Tian's face was expressionless as he considered whether or not to give the Xue Family another reason to grieve.

He could tell that the Xue Family had not been subdued and would definitely continue to do bad things in secret.

It might be better to take this opportunity to crush the Xue Family's spirit completely so that they would never dare to harbor such crooked thoughts again.

However, since the other party had already apologized, initiating a move without cause could be somewhat difficult.

"Forget it, give them one chance."

Yin Tian muttered, "As long as they don't trouble me in the future…"

While Yin Tian was speaking, his brow suddenly furrowed.

He turned swiftly, flicking his wrist, and a sharp whooshing sound broke through the air.

Shh!

A glint of light flew from Yin Tian's fingertips and firmly lodged itself in the trunk of a nearby tree.

It was a silver needle that Yin Tian had launched as a hidden weapon.

At that moment, a small, nail-sized black bug was pinned by the needle on the tree.

A Worm!

Yin Tian had sensed a dangerous aura approaching, which is why he used the silver needle to kill the Worm.

"Eh?"

A light exclamation reached Yin Tian's ears, followed by a glimpse of a swift shadow dashing past.

"Trying to run?"

Yin Tian let out a cold laugh.

The person who could control this Worm was clearly a Gu Master.

It seemed that they were much stronger than Wu Hao, who was a mere novice.

The person was fast, but Yin Tian was not slow either.

The chase continued along the roads of the villa district, with the distance between them closing rapidly.

Fifteen minutes later, Yin Tian kicked a small stone on the ground fiercely.

The stone flew towards the person and struck the person's thigh heavily.

The individual gave a pained cry and stumbled forward involuntarily.

Yin Tian immediately chased after.

It was a middle-aged man, lying face-down on the ground, cradling his injured leg, his expression one of agony.

"A Gu Master?"

Yin Tian approached the middle-aged man. "How bold of you to try scheming against me. Tell me, who sent you."

"Hmph!"

The middle-aged man gave Yin Tian a cold stare but did not answer his question.

"Still quite defiant, I see."

Yin Tian chuckled mockingly. "If you don't speak up, you might not be able to leave at all."

The man simply closed his eyes, ignoring Yin Tian completely.

"Seems you're really not in the mood to cooperate."

Yin Tian spoke, bending down to try and pull the man off the ground.

But the man swung his hand violently at Yin Tian, and a powder that resembled lime spilled forth from his grasp.

Yin Tian reacted swiftly, snapping his eyes shut and holding his breath.

In an instant, Yin Tian recognized what the powder was.

A Sealing Throat Worm!

This substance, although appearing as powder, was actually the spores of a plant.

It could enter the throat and lungs with a person's breath, then rapidly multiply.

Anyone infected by this Worm would ultimately suffocate to death.

Without hesitation, Yin Tian rapidly retreated, escaping the reach of the powder.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man took the opportunity to run off into the distance, soon vanishing without a trace.
