“Shut up.” Ji Tianyao coldly glanced at Ji Tianqi, “What can I do? If it’s not like this, the Divine Artisan Heaven Venerable will directly cause a ruckus in the Ji family. Now that the arrow is on the bowstring, it must be released. Although Ji Ruyue will also participate in the martial arts competition for marriage, she is not here. How to handle it will be discussed later; for now, we can only proceed as such.”
At this moment, everyone’s gaze was already focused on Qin Chen and Venerable Lei Ya in the center of the hall. “Thank you, Ji Ancestor, for giving Ruyue this opportunity.” Qin Chen said loudly, while cupping his hands to the various forces present, “Friends, and esteemed sect masters and hall masters, I have already said, Ruyue is my wife. Since the Ji family has decided to hold a martial arts competition for her, I will say it straightforwardly: Ruyue is my wife, so her martial arts competition, I am bound to win. If anyone is interested in Ji family women, they can go to Ji Xinyi.”
Qin Chen scanned all present: “Ji Xinyi is the daughter of the head of the Ji family. I believe everyone has come to participate in the martial arts competition not only to find a wife for their disciples but also to establish good cooperation with the ancient clan Ji family. Ji Xinyi is undoubtedly the best choice.”
“So, as long as your disciples go to Ji Xinyi, I will not compete with them. However, if anyone here dares to have thoughts about Ruyue, let me say this in advance: I will not hold back. Do not blame me, Qin Chen, for being merciless.”
“Today was originally a great day for Miss Xinyi, and I came to congratulate, not to fight. Friends who want to take Miss Xinyi back can challenge anyone, just don’t challenge me.”
As Qin Chen said this, his voice suddenly turned cold, “If anyone has thoughts about Ruyue, there is no need to challenge others; just challenge me directly, I will accept.” After saying this, Qin Chen shot a cold glance at the Mad Thunder Heavenly Venerable and the Star God Palace Master, then fixed his gaze on the Great Universe Mountain Lord, speaking word by word: “Whoever you are, if you dare to have intentions towards Ruyue, just come at me, Qin Chen. But don’t regret it later; don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
After saying this, Qin Chen directly stood in the middle of the hall, saying nothing. Ji Xinyi’s face turned pale with rage again; she couldn’t believe Qin Chen could speak so domineeringly. Although Qin Chen said others could challenge for her, with his declaration for Ruyue, all the attention was on Ji Ruyue, and she, as the main character, was reduced to a supporting role.
How could she not be angry?
Which woman doesn’t want to be the center of attention, to shine like a princess in front of all the powerful figures?
But what about now?
Not only was she enraged, but Venerable Lei Ya next to her was also fuming, because he clearly stood up first, yet Qin Chen had not even glanced at him from start to finish.
The hall fell into a brief pause; it was indeed such a domineering statement. Did he really intend to challenge all the disciples from dozens of forces if they had designs on Ji Ruyue?
However, at this moment, no one spoke because, apart from Qin Chen, the genius Venerable Lei Ya from the Thunder God Sect was already standing in the hall.
Everyone wanted to see how Venerable Lei Ya would respond. “Vice Hall Master Qin really is quite domineering, but also a bit arrogant. What do you mean, Ji Ruyue is already your woman? Ridiculous. The martial arts competition for marriage is about strong men winning beautiful brides. I, Venerable Lei Ya from the Thunder God Sect, want to see if your strength is as formidable as your words.”
After saying this, a terrifying venerable power surged from Lei Ya’s body, and boom, instantly, this corner of the world was filled with endless lightning, as if it transformed into a sea of thunder.
In an instant, all those near the center of the hall retreated, while a formation of chaos aura rose, enveloping this space.
