Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Both Wise and Brave

Qin Bancheng was furious to the extreme, almost gritting his teeth as he spoke.

Being the Great Elder of the Qin Royal Family, when had he ever suffered such an insult? To actually be threatened by a young brat from the Secular World.

Alas, it was such a brat who possessed Sovereign Realm Cultivation.

But now, Qin Chuan had been seriously injured. If a fight broke out, how much of his strength could he unleash?

Qin Bancheng contemplated in his heart. He was a very cautious person, never taking risks without certainty. Even though Qin Chuan was gravely injured, he still didn’t dare to gamble.

"Too overbearing?"

Qin Chuan sneered: "It’s just that I am stronger than you. If it wasn’t the case, wouldn’t you, the Great Elder of the Qin Royal Family, be the one overbearing?"

"Now, to call me overbearing? Since you feel that way, then just assume I am overbearing. You can leave now, but whether you choose to go to Jiangcheng City to find me according to my demands is up to you."

Having said that, he then turned to Tang Yue’er and said, "Yue’er, help me up!"

Tang Yue’er hurriedly helped Qin Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, to stand up, her face full of concern. She couldn’t understand why Qin Chuan couldn’t just wait for Qin Bancheng to leave before letting her help him up.

Was he not afraid that Qin Bancheng would attack him upon realizing his current condition?

Tang Yue’er could feel that Qin Chuan wasn’t faking it, but was truly too injured to stand up by his own strength, relying entirely on her for support.

Sure enough, Qin Bancheng’s eyes suddenly lit up, staring intently at Qin Chuan, seemingly hesitant to make a move.

He knew that if he sent Qin Nian to the Qin Royal Family and then dared not go to Jiangcheng City to find Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan would certainly not let him go if he one day arrived at the Qin Royal Family.

Therefore, if he didn’t want to be threatened by Qin Chuan, he had only two choices: either agree to Qin Chuan’s demand to go to Jiangcheng City, or kill Qin Chuan while he was gravely injured.

The question was, was Qin Chuan merely pretending or was he truly so injured that he couldn’t even stand up on his own?

For a time, Qin Bancheng struggled internally to an unprecedented degree.

Tang Yue’er supported Qin Chuan, her delicate face filled with vigilance, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Bancheng.

In reality, she was also very weak at the moment. Just now, to save Qin Chuan, she had fully activated her Yin Dan and had it not been for Qin Nian’s intervention against the mysterious strong person when her Yin Dan was about to be completely depleted, she would likely have been a corpse by now.

Now, her cultivation was completely gone. Supporting Qin Chuan, she was barely hanging on.

She didn’t dare show it, worried that if she faltered, both she and Qin Chuan would fall to the ground, and that would definitely prompt Qin Bancheng to make a move on Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows and suddenly sneered, "What’s the matter? Does Great Elder Qin feel that, with my serious injuries, this is the best opportunity to kill me? Are you considering whether to kill me right here and now?"

"True, I am seriously wounded. There’s not a bit of strength in my entire body. If not for Yue’er’s support, I’m afraid I would have collapsed immediately."

"Let alone you, the Great Elder of the Qin Royal Family with Emperor Realm Peak Cultivation. Even an ordinary person without any cultivation could beat me to death with their fists right now."

"If Great Elder Qin wants to kill me, now is indeed the best opportunity. There’s nothing for you to be conflicted about, really, if you want to kill me, then come!"

In Qin Chuan’s tone, there was a faint sense of expectation.

Qin Bancheng did not speak, but his face was ashen, and his eyes stared intently at Qin Chuan for a good while before he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I, as the Great Elder of the Qin Royal Family, disdain to act against a heavily injured martial artist. Even if I were to kill you, I would wait until your cultivation has recovered to its apex and then kill you in a fair and upright manner."

"Of course, this is just a casual remark. There is no deadly feud between us. Why would I want to kill you? Furthermore, your sister is a member of the Qin Royal Family. By that logic, you can be considered half a member of the Qin Royal Family too. Why would I kill you?"

"It’s just a matter of staying in Jiangcheng City for a while, isn’t it? What’s the big deal? Fine, I agree. Once I’ve sent Qin Nian back to the Qin Royal Family, I will come to find you in Jiangcheng City."

Having said that, he turned around and left, not wanting to stay here for even a second longer.

Because he really felt extremely stifled, wanting to kill but not daring to, he could only swallow the frustration after shattering it.

In a blink of an eye, Qin Bancheng and Qin Nian both disappeared from Qin Chuan’s sight.

"Cough, cough, cough~"

As soon as the two left, Qin Chuan violently coughed several times, even coughing up fresh blood.

"Big Brother Qin!"

Tang Yue’er immediately panicked and quickly helped Qin Chuan sit on the ground, anxiously saying, "Big Brother Qin, aren’t you a Divine Doctor? Hurry up and treat yourself!"

Qin Chuan shook his head with a bitter expression: "This is the side effect of using the Asura Buddha Hand. According to the records, one must lie in bed for at least three months after using the Asura Buddha Hand. For me to forcibly execute the Asura Buddha Hand while injured, it’s already a miracle that I didn’t die."

Hearing his words, Tang Yue’er grew even more panicked: "Does that mean you have to lie in bed for three months too?"

Qin Chuan shook his head: "It won’t come to that, but for a short period, it’s quite unlikely that my cultivation will recover to its peak condition."

Tang Yue’er let out a sigh of relief, but soon became very worried again, asking in confusion, "If you cannot recover to your peak state in a short time, why would you still let Qin Bancheng go to Jiangcheng City to find you? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll make a move against you when he finds out?"

Qin Chuan said gravely, "This man is very suspicious by nature and won’t easily make a move without full confidence."

"What I said to him just now was also true: I really don’t have any strength right now, and it’s the best time for him to kill me. But because of his suspicious nature, the more I deliberately reveal my true situation, the more he feels that I’m trying to deceive him, and the less daring he is to act."

"I allowed Qin Nian to follow him to the Qin Royal Family because I had no other choice. In my current state, there’s no way I can stop Qin Nian. If I had revealed my true state in front of Qin Bancheng, he would have definitely killed me."

"As for asking him to come to Jiangcheng City to find me, it’s because I promised someone that I would hold Qin Bancheng up in the Secular World for half a month."

After hearing Qin Chuan’s explanation, Tang Yue’er understood that his actions just now were deliberate.

Tang Yue’er looked at Qin Chuan with an admiring expression and said, "Big Brother Qin, you are so amazing, not only in martial arts and medical skills, but also so intelligent."

Qin Chuan had a bitter expression. If he hadn’t been clever, he might have died back in the Kunlun Divine Prison.

Qin Chuan looked at Tang Yue’er with a touched expression. He, of course, was aware of the fact that Tang Yue’er had desperately stimulated the Yin Dan to save him just now.

He took out an elixir and handed it to Tang Yue’er, saying, "Take this elixir first. Once my injury has healed, I’ll help you recover your Yin Dan!"

Hearing that the Yin Dan could be restored, Tang Yue’er was overjoyed.

Qin Chuan immediately sat down cross-legged and began healing his injuries. Although he couldn’t recover to his peak in a short period, there was still hope of regaining his ability to walk.
