Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Refusing a Toast Only to Drink a Penalty

Qin Chuan looked at Ye Qingwan with some surprise. It seemed that Ye Qingwan was completely disappointed with the Ye Family, otherwise she wouldn’t have spoken in such a manner.

Just as Ye Qingwan’s words had fallen, Pei Jing, standing at the entrance of the mansion, suddenly said with a cold face, "You beast, how dare you come to the Ye Family? You must be tired of living."

"Someone, break this beast’s legs and throw him out of the Ye Family."

Following Pei Jing’s order, four Ye Family guards immediately rushed out from hiding, each of them an Energizing Skill Strong. The aura emitted by the leading guard was almost at the King Realm.

Ye Qingwan’s face turned cold instantly; she had guessed that this foolish woman, Pei Jing, might speak rudely to Qin Chuan, but she hadn’t expected her to directly call the Ye Family guards to lay hands on Qin Chuan.

"I’d like to see who dares!"

Ye Qingwan unhesitatingly stood in front of Qin Chuan and scanned the four guards with a gloomy gaze, speaking indifferently, "This is our family matter, it has nothing to do with you. If you don’t want to get burned, back off!"

She was now a favored person by Ye Tiancheng’s side. Since Ye Tiannan had been paralyzed, Ye Tiancheng had become the most powerful contender in the struggle for inheritance.

Hearing her words, the four guards immediately halted their advance toward Qin Chuan, their faces pale.

Ye Qingwan then looked towards Pei Jing, speaking in a chilly tone, "And you, have you forgotten your promise to me so quickly? Shall I talk to my Third Uncle?"

Pei Jing shivered, not knowing why, but every time she met Ye Qingwan’s venomous snake-like gaze, it made her tremble.

But soon, she came back to her senses, glaring at Ye Qingwan and shouted, "Who do you think you are? Just because you’ve sided with Ye Tiancheng, you think you can be arrogant in front of me?"

"Let me make this clear to you, as long as your father is alive, you must show me respect."

"I’m telling you the truth, your father’s legs have been healed by the Elixirs brought by the Long Family Heir. With your father’s Martial Path talent and his former connections, once he recovers, he will soon gain a huge advantage in the battle for inheritance. Then, I’ll see whom you can rely on."

After speaking, she glared at the four guards and shouted in anger, "I didn’t ask you to harm Ye Qingwan. What are you afraid of? Does Tiannan have to give the order himself before you’ll act?"

"This..."

The leading guard, full of distress, had always been a Peak Realm Expert. When had he ever been so humbled in the Ye Family?

But to reach the King Realm, he had no choice but to rely on the Ye Family, otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed in the Ye Family under Pei Jing’s arrogant orders.

"Lady Pei, please do not make things difficult for us. We were only ordered to protect Second Master Ye. If Second Master is not in mortal danger, we do not act rashly."

After a few seconds of hesitation, the leading guard spoke firmly and then nodded at Ye Qingwan before turning and leaving directly.

Seeing this, the other three guards also chose to leave.

"Get back here, come back here!"

Seeing this scene, Pei Jing was almost driven mad with rage and roared, "I order you to cripple that beast’s legs! Do you dare disobey my command? Do you believe that I won’t have Tiannan severely punish you?"

Looking at the frantic Pei Jing, Ye Qingwan maintained a cold facade.

"You traitorous whore, just like your despicable mother, both are ungrateful wretches!"

Pei Jing, like a shrew, started yelling at Ye Qingwan.

"Slap!"

The next second, a crisp slap resonated, and Pei Jing’s face immediately displayed a clear slap mark.

Ye Qingwan was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at the not-so-broad yet comforting back. Her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Pei Jing held one hand over her swollen face, and pointed at Qin Chuan with the other, incredulous as she said, "You, you brute, how dare you hit me?"

"Slap!"

Another slap landed on her other cheek, this one with even more force. It not only left a swollen hand print on Pei Jing’s face but also made the corner of her mouth bleed.

Pei Jing was stunned, staring blankly at Qin Chuan as she stammered, "You, you dare to hit me again?"

"Slap!"

Yet another slap flew, the crisp sound of the slap extremely grating.

This time, Pei Jing’s body flew up into the air, directly smashing through the mansion’s front door.

Ye Qingwan, standing by, was shocked.

"Your reaction is nothing like the Zhu Yeqing I remember," Qin Chuan said, smiling at Ye Qingwan.

"As a friend of mine, your role is to bully, not to be bullied," he added.

Then, reaching out a hand to Ye Qingwan, he smiled and said, "Come, let me help you get some payback!"

Seeing the slight smile on Qin Chuan’s face, Ye Qingwan felt a bit lost in the moment; he could smile, he had a gentle side too.

Thinking this, she did not hesitate and reached out for the hand that Qin Chuan had outstretched.

Qin Chuan held Ye Qingwan’s hand and strode toward the mansion.

At that moment, four guards who had just opted to stand down were now blocking the mansion’s entrance, each staring down Qin Chuan as if facing a formidable enemy.

Ye Qingwan looked complicatedly at the leading guard, Elder Fei, and said, "Elder Fei, you guys stand down."

Elder Fei, however, shook his head and said gravely, "Protecting Second Master Ye is our duty, please do not make things difficult for us. If your friend leaves now, I can pretend that nothing happened."

Pei Jing being hit by Qin Chuan was already at the limit of what he could overlook.

But if Qin Chuan intended to step inside the mansion, Ye Tiannan could be in danger, and as the guard responsible for Ye Tiannan’s safety, naturally he would not back down.

Ye Qingwan sighed softly, well aware that with Elder Fei and his men’s abilities, they were no match for Qin Chuan. Blocking the way would only bring humiliation upon themselves.

She had tried to persuade them; since Elder Fei would not listen, he would have to bear the consequences.

This time, she would stand firmly by Qin Chuan’s side, no matter what he intended to do.

Qin Chuan suddenly stopped, looked at Elder Fei and said, "Out of respect for Qingwan, step aside now, and I will not harm you."

Ye Qingwan said nothing more, her gaze calm as she watched Elder Fei.

Elder Fei was clearly wary—not of Qin Chuan, but of Ye Tiancheng looming behind Ye Qingwan.

But if he backed down now, if Ye Tiannan eventually won the position of heir, how could he continue to stay in the Ye Family? Even if he could stay, it was doubtful that the Ye Family would allocate many cultivation resources to him.

With this in mind, his gaze hardened, and he stared coldly at Qin Chuan, saying, "Kid, I advise you not to kick against the pricks. Leave now, for your own dignity."

"Hmph!"

Qin Chuan’s gaze turned icy as he continued to hold Ye Qingwan’s hand, taking another step forward.

Since they would not accept the toast, then they’d have to face the music!
