Chapter 673: Killing Yuan Tianren
It was because the old faker had spouted nonsense and destroyed his family. His father and mother were separated and his mother had been alone for more than 20 years. He had been an orphan since he was still a child. Now he was here again to hurt his woman. How could he feel sorry for this man!
He smiled warmly and asked Yuan Tianren, “Master Yuan, please make a prediction. Do you think I will break your legs or arms next?”
“No, please don’t!” Yuan Tianren endured the pain and cried out, “Please let me go...”
Although he did not understand why Qin Haodong suddenly started to torture him, he decided to beg for pardon and end this suffering first.
At this time, he secretly vowed that he would use all means to make this young man pay as long as he survived today!
“Aren’t you a master of magic arts? Did you not know what happened in the past 500 years and what will happen in the future 500 years? Don’t you know how to make a prediction? Now I am giving you the chance and why are you giving up?”
As he questioned Yuan Tianren, Qin raised his foot and broke Master Yuan’s other leg.
Yuan Tianren screamed and fainted, but Qin Haodong did not give him any respite. He kicked him in the chest and roused him up in an instant.
Yuan Tianren felt great pain in his legs when he opened his eyes. He then pleaded, “Please, please let me go. How much money do you want? I have great sums of money, please spare my life.”
Qin Haodong sneered and said, “Don’t you know how to do a prediction? Please predict whether I’ll take your money or not. Do you think I’ll let you go today?”
Yuan Tianren still did not know why Qin Haodong wanted to kill him, but he gradually realized that it had something to do with his fortune-telling. So he cried out, “I won’t do that again! Please let me go and I’ll never tell anyone’s fortune again.”
Qin Haodong sneered and said, “That’s fine, but it’s too late! How dare you tell others’ fortunes with your poor skills! You’ve done evil and destroyed many families and took their happiness away. Now it’s time for you to pay the price.”
After speaking, he broke both his arms.
Other people had mixed feelings at this sight. Master Yuan, who had been well-known and greatly respected in the capital, was now being tortured and begging for mercy publicly. Was this his so-called destiny?
Many were suspicious of Yuan Tianren’s skills right now. If he were indeed such a master of fortune-telling, why hadn’t he known in advance that he would be tortured today? At least, he should have known that something bad might happen.
Some were also confused about Qin Haodong’s behavior. This young man did not seem like a cruel and savage monster and he showed mercy to the two families just now. But why was he so cruel toward Yuan Tianren? Something must have happened between them.
Many people from the aristocratic families were Master Yuan’s believers, including members of the Chu family. But no one dared to stop him when they saw his fierce means of torture.
Chu Xuanyue was the only one among these people who knew why Qin Haodong treated the old faker so cruelly. Her son was taking revenge for her family. Looking at Yuan Tianren, she felt no pity, only the pleasure of revenge.
The old faker had mentioned something about the Land of Fairies, which destroyed her happy family. Otherwise, she would have been with her husband and son. He would not have been so lonely and would not have cut off contact with her family.
Yuan Tianren was lying on the stage and all his limbs were broken. He was almost near death and his eyes were filled with despair and resentment.
Qin Haodong glanced at him and said, “If I don’t tell you the reason, you might die with a grievance. I’ll let you know the truth today.”
Then he jumped off the stage and came to Chu Xuanyue. Everyone was watching in astonishment as they walked to the stage, hand in hand.
Chu Shanhe’s expression changed at this sight and he seemed to realize something.
After getting on the stage, Qin Haodong still held her hand. He said to all the people present, “You must wonder why I treated the old faker so cruelly. Now I’ll make it clear.
“My surname is Qin, just like Qin Zongheng and my first name is Haodong, the same as the Haodong Group. This is not a coincidence because my father is Qin Zongheng and my mother is Chu Xuanyue.”
Everyone present were astonished after hearing the news, especially Chu Shanhe and Qin Zhan’ao. These two old men had been feeling at ease, but now they nearly jumped up from their seats in shock.
Chu Shanhe was shocked by this young man’s identity. He did not expect that the kid whom he had ordered to be killed was still alive. The kid was standing right here and looked so strong. He was even no match for him right now.
But Qin Zhan’ao was ecstatic after he recovered from the shock. After all, Qin Haodong was a member of their family. Although Qin Zongheng, the great genius had left home, his son had returned with so many masters now.
If Qin Haodong was willing to be a member of the Qin family, they would definitely defeat the other Seven Great Families and become the top one family in the capital.
Zhao Cangqiong and Qi Guofan looked at each other and saw the horror reflected in their eyes. But their feelings were quite different.
Zhao Cangqiong was both shocked and frightened. He did not expect that his grandson would be competing with the son of Qin Zongheng for a wife. He was courting death.
Qi Guofan deeply regretted what he had done. He was too stubborn and should have asked his granddaughter for more details about her boyfriend.
If he had known that her boyfriend was the son of Qin Zongheng, he would never have arranged a marriage for her and the Zhao Family. After all, their family could immediately rise to fame if they could be connected with a master in the Sage Realm!
The most miserable person was Yuan Tianren, who was still lying on the stage. He now understood why Qin Haodong mentioned the Land of Fairies and hated him so much. It turned out that he was the kid that he asked the Chu family to kill years ago.
The other people present were also talking and expressing their shock. Some knew what had happened between the Qin and Chu families years ago, but some were not clear about it.
When everyone calmed down, Qin Haodong continued, “Now you know why I hate Yuan Tianren so much. He predicted a lot of nonsense and destroyed my happy family.”
“He created a myth about the Land of Fairies, which caused my mother and I to be separated for many years. In fact, he’s just an old faker and knows nothing about the magic arts.”
“Now after 20 years, I’m still alive. Did the Chu family decline and the Qin family flourish? No, nothing happened and it’s the same as it was 20 years ago”. So the Land of Fairies is just nonsense.”
“Such an old faker should not stay alive in this beautiful world.”
Then Qin Haodong kicked him in the chest and shattered his heart directly.
Master Yuan, who had been famous in the capital for many years, was killed today.
The guests present had different reactions at the sight of Yuan Tianren’s corpse. Among them, the one with the strongest emotions was Chu Shanhe, the head of the Chu family.
Back then, he was completely convinced by Yuan Tianren’s words and even sent someone to kill his grandson and expel his daughter from the family.
But finally, as Qin Haodong had said, his grandson was not killed, but the Chu family did not decline and the Qin family did not flourish either, which indicated that the so called Land of Fairies was a complete scam.
Yuan Tianren was dead, but Chu Shanhe did not feel sorry for this old faker. He deserved it. If it were not for his identity, he would have rushed forward and kicked his corpse.
This old faker spouted nonsense and caused his daughter and himself to be estranged for the past 20 years. He had also lost such an excellent grandson.
If he had been able to raise Qin Haodong in the Chu family, he would have been the top one in the capital.
But there were no “ifs” in the world and it was also useless to regret what had happened.
Qin Haodong came here today for two things. He wanted to openly reconcile with his mother and the other was to take Qi Waner away.
Now he had achieved his goals. He ignored the stunned crowd and left the house with his men.
Qin Haodong left, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. The Chu family did not dare and neither did the Qi family.
Everyone knew that they would be courting death if they walked forward and tried to stir up any trouble. There were 5 ninth-level grand masters and Qin had showed them mercy by letting them go.
Moreover, with the exposure of his identity, the whole situation was extremely complicated now. The engagement and the bride were not so important now.
As soon as they left, the masters of the other five families took their leave, one by one. Then Zhao Cangqiong also returned to his family and asked his men to close the gate. Then he gathered all the direct descendants together for an emergency meeting.
All the great families in the capital were on the verge of a storm. Everyone realized that they were about to undergo a drastic change.
The Seven Great Families in the capital had been in balance for ten years, but with the arrival of this young man, many people soon realized that the balance was about to be changed.
Qin Haodong broke the peace in the capital like a bomb. His identity was too complicated. He used to be the grandson of the Qin and Chu families, but now he was the son-in-law of the Qi family.
However, his identities were extremely strange. He was the grandchild of the Qin family, but the Qins had no idea for the past 20 years. He was the grandson of the Chu family, but his mother had been estranged from the Chu family. He was the son-in-law of the Qi family, but he took the bride away.
If he was just an ordinary man, it would not be a big deal. However, he was extremely powerful and was strong enough to reverse the situation of the Seven Great Families in the capital.
Because of these factors, there were too many uncertainties buried in the future of the Capital. No one knew what would happen tomorrow.
Qin Haodong took them to a manor in the suburbs of the capital. Obviously, it had just been redecorated. There was a huge plaque hanging on the gate, with two big words “Tang Sect” written on it.
