Chapter 173: Chapter 173: The Clown Jumps Around

As Yang Liu’s words fell, Su Nanzhi’s expression immediately turned cold.

Qin Chuan’s gaze instantly became icy. When he looked at Yang Liu again, it was as though he was looking at a dead person.

The thing he hated most was being threatened, yet this woman had done just that.

Su Nanzhi said coldly, "Yang Liu, do you really have to take things to such an extreme?"

Yang Liu sneered, stepped forward a few paces, and stopped only about twenty centimeters from Su Nanzhi.

Hatred filled her eyes as she gritted her teeth and said, "Su Nanzhi, do you really think I’m still the same as in college, where I had to be at your beck and call?"

"My husband happens to be the head of Premium Auction House in the provincial city, one of the top powers. A single word from him could cut off the Su Family’s livelihood!"

Yang Liu’s expression on her face gradually twisted, as if there was a deep and abiding hatred between her and Su Nanzhi.

Su Nanzhi’s eyes immediately reddened. She bit her red lips and looked at Qin Chuan, "Qin Chuan, I’m so sorry that you’ve had to suffer this indignity with me, but rest assured, I’ll handle this myself."

Qin Chuan didn’t say a word, just gave Yang Liu a cold look.

Upon hearing Su Nanzhi’s words, Yang Liu laughed, "You, you wretched creature, are killing me with laughter. You’re going to handle it yourself?"

"Are you planning to kneel down and beg for mercy? Or are you intending to sacrifice your beauty and spend a night with my husband?"

"Slap!"

A loud slap suddenly echoed through the entire restaurant, and everyone looked at Su Nanzhi with surprise on their faces.

Yang Liu was Wei Xiang’s woman, and Su Nanzhi had dared to slap her—had she gone mad?

After being stunned for a good while, Yang Liu finally came to her senses, her face full of disbelief, "You, you actually dared to hit me?"

At that moment, Su Nanzhi’s face was filled with coldness, "In college, your family was poor, and I knew you had strong self-esteem. To protect your dignity, I secretly supported you for four whole years."

"Whenever I bought daily necessities, I always got two of everything. I told you I’d bought too much and it would be a waste, so I gave one to you."

"To protect your dignity, the big brand stuff that my friends brought back from abroad was passed on to you under the claim that it didn’t suit me."

"After our bachelor’s degree, your first job was also arranged by me. Where other undergraduates struggled to find work, you began earning a graduate’s salary upon joining."

"And this is how you repay me?"

Su Nanzhi’s eyes were red, with tears swirling in them.

"So it turns out there was such a story between these two women—it’s just like the tale of The Farmer and the Viper!"

"I thought so. Su Nanzhi, as the provincial city’s second most beautiful woman among the Four Beauties, and the heiress to the Su Family, how could she even be compared to this vulgar, coarsely made-up wretch?"

"That woman has no shame. Sporting an obviously surgically-altered internet celebrity face, she still has the nerve to say she’s better than Miss Su? What a joke!"

...

After hearing the onlookers’ comments, Yang Liu immediately lost her composure, shouted in vexation, "You’re talking nonsense!"

"Clearly, you looked down on me, deliberately gifting me the things you had leftover just to humiliate me!"

"Slap!"

Another slap landed on Yang Liu’s face from Su Nanzhi. This time, her tears started to fall.

Looking utterly disappointed, she said, "I was blind. I actually took you, an ungrateful wretch, as my best friend. From now on, there’s nothing between you and me!"

Having said that, her eyes still red, she looked at Qin Chuan, "Qin Chuan, I’m sorry for the scene. Let’s go somewhere else, shall we?"

Qin Chuan nodded, "Okay!"

Just as they were about to leave.

Yang Liu let out a shrill roar, "You two, stop right there!"

Qin Chuan and Su Nanzhi stood still, Su Nanzhi turned around, bit her red lips, and glared angrily at Yang Liu, saying, "What else do you want?"

Yang Liu’s face twisted with ferocity as she said, "You think you can just walk away after hitting me?"

After speaking, she clung to Wei Xiang’s arm and shook it, "Husband, are you just going to watch your woman get bullied?"

"I want them to pay a heavy price!"

Instantly, everyone’s gaze fell on Wei Xiang.

Although it was everyone’s first time seeing Wei Xiang, they had learned of his identity through Yang Liu.

The position of head of the Premium Auction House, after all, was one that could rival the masters of top-tier wealthy families.

Seeing Wei Xiang looking her way, Su Nanzhi became very nervous, gripping Qin Chuan’s arm even tighter.

She knew Qin Chuan was very capable, but no matter how capable, he was just an Energizing Skill Grandmaster, whereas an elite force like the Premium Auction House had several Energizing Skill Grandmasters.

Moreover, the Premium Auction House was backed by a top-tier wealthy family from Yandu.

"You, what do you want?"

Gathering her courage, Su Nanzhi looked at Wei Xiang and said, "Although my Su Family may not compare to the top-tier forces of the provincial city, we are still a secondary elite household."

"Even if you are the head of the Premium Auction House, you have no right to use the auction house’s power to target the Su Family, right?"

Wei Xiang looked at Su Nanzhi with a smile and said, "Although I can’t deal with the Su Family openly, just a few words from me should be enough to have many people willing to help me deal with the Su Family."

Su Nanzhi’s complexion changed drastically.

She had only thought of Wei Xiang as the head of the Premium Auction House, and not a direct descendant of the Murong Family Lineage.

She hadn’t considered that just on the strength of his position, Wei Xiang could coax many martial artists into acting against the Su Family in exchange for cultivation resources from the Premium Auction House.

The reason why the Premium Auction House could become one of the top-tier forces of the provincial city with just an auction house was that they controlled nearly all the cultivation resources in East Sea Province.

If one wanted to purchase cultivation resources, they had to go through the Premium Auction House!

Su Nanzhi bit her red lips, her face filled with unwillingness, as she said, "What exactly do you want?"

Wei Xiang suddenly burst into laughter, and after having his fill, a sinister smile crept across his lips, "As long as you’re willing to spend a night with me, I can spare the Su Family."

From the very first moment he saw Su Nanzhi, he had begun to think about how to get his hands on this stunning beauty.

"You..."

Su Nanzhi trembled with rage.

Instead of blaming Wei Xiang, Yang Liu joyfully said, "Slut, you should feel honored that my husband deigns to favor you."

Su Nanzhi refused without hesitation, "Impossible! Even if it means death, I would never be with him!"

"In that case, don’t blame me for being rude to you!"

Wei Xiang’s gaze turned icy as he suddenly looked at Qin Chuan and said coldly, "Kid, I’ve taken a liking to your woman. If you know what’s good for you, get out of here now, and I won’t hold what happened earlier against you."

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes at Wei Xiang and said, "You’re seeking death!"

As his words fell, a potent martial presence erupted from his body.

Su Nanzhi immediately became frantic, speaking with intense worry, "Qin Chuan, don’t fight. The Premium Auction House is backed by one of the Nine Gates of Yandu, the Murong Family. If you act, it will be the same as offending the Murong Family."

She was absolutely certain that if Qin Chuan made a move, the crisis they were facing would be resolved in an instant.

But then, Qin Chuan would have offended the Murong Family.

Qin Chuan sighed, looking at the woman in front of him with tearful red eyes, and said helplessly, "They’re just two clowns; do you really think I can’t deal with them?"
