Chapter 921: Chapter 921: Warm Hospitality!

Zhou Yu furrowed his brow.

"Sister Yun, do you know this person?"

Yun Feifei’s face turned deathly pale. Her eyes betrayed deep resentment as she practically ground out the words through clenched teeth.

"Yes, I know him."

"The Qi Family is nothing more than the Blood Gu Clan’s dog in Nan County."

"Years ago, when my parents were hunted down by the Blood Gu Clan, the Qi Family acted as their accomplices."

Yun Feifei didn’t continue, but the meaning was already abundantly clear.

At this moment, Qi Denian spoke:

"I didn’t expect you’d grow so much in just a few short years. Hmm, you’ve become quite a beauty."

"If your parents could see you now, they would surely feel proud."

Hearing this, flames of rage flickered in Yun Feifei’s eyes, almost consuming her.

Yet Qi Denian appeared utterly indifferent.

He chuckled lightly and said:

"Don’t look at me like that."

"The ones who killed your parents were the Blood Gu Clan, not me."

"And besides, if it weren’t for me sparing your life back then, do you think you’d even be alive today?"

Hearing this, Yun Feifei roared angrily:

"Stop patting yourself on the back!"

"It was Uncle Nan Tangmu who saved me that year. You were merely afraid to provoke the Yunzhou Martial Pavilion, so you didn’t dare continue the pursuit!"

"Though you didn’t kill my parents directly, you’re far from innocent in this."

"Back then, my parents treated you as a life-and-death confidant, trusted you entirely, and that’s how you got the chance to betray them!"

"Now you occupy my Yun Family’s estates. Don’t you feel even a shred of guilt?"

"Let me tell you, actions have consequences. Heaven is watching, and though the time may not yet have come, there is no escaping justice."

Despite Yun Feifei’s fiery words, Qi Denian’s face still held its smile, but his eyes had turned icy cold.

"Yun Feifei, there’s no need to rush."

"Nan Tangmu won’t be bouncing around the Yunzhou Martial Pavilion for much longer. When he’s gone and you have no one to lean on, I promise I’ll personally capture you. Let’s see if your tongue is still as sharp at that time."

Listening to their exchange, Zhou Yu gradually pieced together the enmity between Yun Feifei and Qi Denian.

It seemed to be yet another tale of raising a tiger, only to invite disaster—an age-old story of the farmer and the snake.

With this in mind, Zhou Yu’s gaze toward Qi Denian grew colder.

Qi Denian, with his exceedingly sharp instincts, immediately noticed Zhou Yu’s shift in expression. His eyes turned toward Zhou Yu.

"You must be Zhou Yu from Qin State, the rising star whose fame spread far and wide at such a young age. I’ve heard you even eradicated four of the Seven Great Families in Qin State’s provincial capital using lightning-fast methods, establishing your own power in the process. Remarkable."

Zhou Yu didn’t expect someone in this remote county corner of Yun State to be so well informed about him.

He narrowed his eyes and said:

"Seems like you’re here for me, isn’t it?"

"Spare the formalities. Just say what your goal is."

Qi Denian let out a chuckle.

"Indeed, young friend Zhou is quite straightforward."

"Well then, I won’t beat around the bush. I’ve heard of your esteemed arrival here in Nan County. As the host, it’s only proper for me to extend my hospitality."

"Young friend Zhou, I’ve already prepared food and wine at my residence. Why don’t you join me for a drink?"

Zhou Yu heard this and looked coldly at Qi Denian.

Although Qi Denian appeared cordial and welcoming, Zhou Yu could sense the chilling intent behind his smile.

This guy was definitely up to no good.

Zhou Yu replied indifferently:

"Sorry, Sister Yun and I have important matters to attend to. We don’t have the time."

Qi Denian simply shook his head, smiling as he said:

"Having time isn’t the issue here."

"What matters is that when I, Qi Denian, invite someone to eat, no one dares refuse."

These words made Yun Feifei tremble. She had initially thought Qi Denian was here for her, but his tone suggested he was targeting Zhou Yu instead.

Zhou Yu had already noticed this earlier, so his expression remained unchanged. He only replied coldly:

"Accepting your invitation isn’t impossible."

"But first, I want to clarify something."

"Go ahead," Qi Denian said, showing no urgency, his demeanor patient.

"We’re meeting for the first time, yet your ’enthusiastic reception’ seems a bit over-the-top, doesn’t it?"

"Let’s cut to the chase—who sent you?"

Zhou Yu’s words hit directly at the heart of the matter.

In truth, Zhou Yu’s greatest fear was that Qi Denian was sent by the Blood Gu Clan. If that were the case, it would mean they already had an accurate grasp of his movements, which would complicate matters immensely.

Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s inquiry, Qi Denian didn’t bother hiding it. He laughed and said:

"Young friend Zhou is clever enough to piece this together."

"The Qu Family suffered immense losses because of you. Do you think they’d let it go so easily?"

At this, Zhou Yu was momentarily stunned.

"Qu Hong?"

Qi Denian chuckled and replied:

"Correct."

"Honestly, I wasn’t too keen on getting involved in these petty disputes. Someone like you—a young man with a promising future and solid backing—isn’t someone I’d normally want to cross paths with."

"But Qu Hong offered me terms I simply couldn’t refuse."

"Weighing my options, I had no choice but to inconvenience you, young friend Zhou."

"Now, shall we go?"

Though Qi Denian’s tone remained light and conversational, a freezing aura emanated from his body and locked firmly onto Zhou Yu.

This aura sent a shock through Zhou Yu’s heart.

Qi Denian was actually a Mid-Holy Realm peak-level expert.

Moreover, faint traces of Early Holy Realm energy rippled among the group behind him.

This realization caused Zhou Yu’s mood to grow heavy.

He hadn’t anticipated that a small county could house so many formidable experts.

The lineup here wasn’t far off from the Qu Family’s own strength.

But then again, considering the Qi Family’s backing by the Blood Gu Clan, it started making sense.

Zhou Yu’s mind raced, weighing his options. After a brief pause, he took a deep breath, then subtly reached out and grabbed Yun Feifei’s hand, lowering his voice.

"Sister Yun, let me get you out of here first."
