Martial Master

The young girl hurriedly spoke to Qin Chen, her face full of anxiety.

"Ying Jie, what's wrong?" Qin Chen frowned slightly.

The visitor was Qin Chen's cousin, the daughter of his second uncle Qin Yuanzhi, Qin Ying.

In the Qin family, the second uncle was the only one who treated Qin Yuechi and Qin Chen decently, and Qin Ying was very kind to him as well.

When they were young, Qin Feng and Qin Fen often bullied Qin Chen, and it was always Qin Ying who stood up for him, allowing Qin Chen to have a somewhat more comfortable life in the Qin family.

At this moment, Qin Ying's face carried a trace of anxious reproach, "You still ask what's wrong. A few days ago, did you go to the Artifact Hall?"

"Yes." Qin Chen was slightly taken aback, then coldly said, "Could it be that Liang Yu came to the Qin family to ask for trouble?"

A hint of anger flashed in his eyes. Although he had asked Liang Yu to refine the Celestial Meridian Needle, he had also relieved Liang Yu of his charm poison. He owed Liang Yu nothing and even did him a favor. If this guy really came to the Qin family to demand accountability, how could he let it go easily?

"You actually offended Master Liang Yu." Hearing Qin Chen's words, Qin Ying's eyes widened, and she looked incredulous.

"What did he say?"

"Master Liang Yu didn't come, but Qin Fen said you offended Master Liang Yu at the Artifact Hall, causing him to be beaten and scolded, and even lost the Black Obsidian Netherstone for refining the treasured weapon. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't think it was true. You... sigh, I really don't know what to say to you."

Qin Ying's face was full of anger, looking like she hated iron for not becoming steel, "Uncle is looking for you everywhere now, saying that as soon as you return, he'll take you to task immediately. You'd better go out and avoid the limelight for now."

Although Qin Ying was angry, she was genuinely worried about Qin Chen.

"So it's that guy Qin Fen. What does his losing the Black Obsidian Netherstone have to do with me?" Qin Chen sneered, and suddenly, he thought of something, his expression changed, "How is my mother?"

"Don't worry, Aunt is fine, but you..."

Before Qin Ying finished speaking, suddenly two squads of guards rushed out from the side, armed with bright blades, they came to Qin Chen's side. The leader was a black-armored guard, close to forty years old, with a strong aura and said coldly, "Young Master Chen, the family head has convened a clan meeting, please come with us."

The two squads of guards positioned themselves on both sides of Qin Chen, surrounding him, obviously to prevent him from escaping.

Seeing this, Qin Ying immediately scolded, "Qin Gang, what are you doing?"

Qin Gang was the commander of the Qin family's guards, a Heaven Level expert. His ancestors were servants of the Qin family, which is why they were given the Qin surname. He respectfully said to Qin Ying, "Miss Ying, this is the family head's order, we are just following orders."

Qin Ying wanted to say something else, but Qin Chen gently stopped her. He coldly glanced at Qin Gang and calmly said, "Where is my mother?"

"The eldest miss is already in the council hall." Qin Gang was pricked by Qin Chen's gaze and involuntarily lowered his head, extremely shocked at his own reaction.

"Lead the way."

Qin Chen said indifferently, but in his heart, he sneered. The Qin family seemed well-prepared. He had just returned and hadn't taken a few steps before Qin Gang arrived, and his mother was already taken to the council hall. Were they planning to take action against him?

"Young Master Chen, please move."

A group quickly escorted Qin Chen towards the council hall.

Qin Ying stamped her foot hard and followed with a face full of anxiety.

In the largest council hall of the Qin family, the place was packed with people, over a hundred gathering together, creating an oppressive atmosphere that was suffocating.

Qin Yuanxiong sat in the main seat of the family head, high and mighty. Beside him were many elders of the Qin family, stewards, and outstanding direct descendants.
