「Qin Clan Royal Family.」

Ye Chao and Gao Fan got out of the car and walked toward the Qin Family's main gate, one after the other.

Walking in front, Ye Chao's eyes were deep and unfathomable. With his hands clasped behind his back, he exuded a cold, aloof temperament. He seemed unapproachable, deterring anyone from getting close. Whether he was a profligate heir or not, the aura of someone born into the highest echelons of power was something ordinary people simply could not compare to, making him intimidating to behold.

Lagging half a step behind, Gao Fan appeared unremarkable on the surface, but he exuded an overwhelming, insidious effeminacy. His narrow, cunning eyes revealed a dark and twisted psyche, akin to that of a poisonous snake. If such a person were to set his sights on you, escape would be nearly impossible.

"Gentlemen, may I ask the purpose of your visit? Do you have an appointment?" asked a disciple of the Qin Family guarding the gate, approaching them calmly.

Ye Chao smiled and turned to Gao Fan. "He's asking why we're here."

"Naturally, we're here for Qin Qiu and Qin Mo," Gao Fan sneered. "As for an appointment, I, Gao Fan, have never been asked for one when setting foot in any family's territory."

"Did you hear that?" Ye Chao said with a light laugh. "Hurry up and take us to Qin Qiu. Otherwise, if Mr. Gao gets angry, he might just burn down this entire Qin Family estate."

The two played off each other, seemingly holding the Qin Clan Royal Family in utter contempt.

"You cannot enter without an appointment," the two Qin Family disciples said. They knew these men were not to be trifled with, but they upheld their duties without adopting a hostile attitude.

BANG!!

Ye Chao lifted his leg and kicked the disciple who had spoken, sending him flying into the main gate behind him. With a thunderous boom, blood splattered through the air.

"You're courting death!"

The other disciple turned and ran, shouting, "We have trouble!"

Ye Chao didn't stop him. Only after the man finished shouting did Ye Chao place a hand on his shoulder and say with a playful laugh, "Alright, now lead the way for us."

WHOOSH!

A swarm of Qin Family disciples rushed over, led by none other than Qin Zhuo.

Before Qin Zhuo could speak, Ye Chao asked, "What is your relationship to Qin Lie?"

"Qin Lie is my father," Qin Zhuo replied, his gaze dark. "May I ask who the two of you are..."

"He is Mr. Gao of the Gao Family from Cangyun City, Gao Fan." Ye Chao pointed to Gao Fan before gesturing to himself. "And I am Ye Chao."

"We're here today to invite Miss Qin Qiu and Miss Qin Mo to a party. I trust you have no objections, do you?"

After speaking, Ye Chao stared at Qin Zhuo with a mocking smile.

Qin Zhuo's expression shifted drastically. How could he not know who they were? So these are the two influential figures from Cangyun City who arrived at Qiyun Road? The Qin Family had previously remained silent in response to their summons, not refusing outright, purely out of apprehension.

He had never imagined they would show up directly at their door. And they wanted to take Qin Mo and Qin Qiu to a party?

Taking a deep breath, Qin Zhuo's tone softened slightly. "Gentlemen, I need to report this to my father."

"No need!" Ye Chao said, grabbing the Qin Family disciple and striding through the gate. "You can take your time with your report. I'll go find them first."

Though his tone seemed pleasant, his actions were domineering, unreasonable, and aggressive.

"You..." Qin Zhuo's face darkened. Their behavior showed complete disregard for the Qin Family, placing themselves far above even the Chen Family.

As a hunchbacked old man approached, a chill ran down Qin Zhuo's spine. The feeling intensified when his eyes met the old man's sinister gaze, and the hair on his head stood on end.

This... Is this the Thousand-Faced Yama??

The old man withdrew his gaze and followed closely behind Ye Chao.

Thud, thud, thud.

Qin Zhuo stumbled back several steps, watching helplessly as Ye Chao and Gao Fan strode brazenly into the Qin Family estate, heading straight for where Qin Qiu was.

"Hurry, report to the master!" Qin Zhuo took a deep breath, ordering a man beside him before quickly following the intruders.

Qin Qiu and Qin Mo were taking a walk in the courtyard. As she gazed at the snow-covered branches, Qin Qiu's mind filled with memories of her stroll along the banks of the Lingjin River with Chen Yang.

Soon, however, they noticed a group of people heading their way.

"Tsk, tsk..." Walking at the front, Ye Chao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Even more beautiful in person than in the photos. A rare sight indeed."

"I want Qin Qiu!" Gao Fan, a man of few words, immediately laid his claim.

Ye Chao, half a step behind, gritted his teeth in frustration. He had also set his sights on Qin Qiu. Although both sisters were flawlessly beautiful, in terms of figure and mature, sensual charm, Qin Qiu was undeniably superior.

Gao Fan walked straight to Qin Qiu and smiled. "Miss, there's a party tonight. Why don't you join me?"

"Who are you?" Qin Qiu frowned, instinctively taking a few steps back.

"I am Gao Fan, from the Gao Family of Cangyun City."

Qin Qiu immediately turned to leave. What kind of person is this, asking me to a party the moment he arrives?

"So feisty?" Gao Fan laughed. "But I do enjoy a good conquest."

WHOOSH!!

Three middle-aged men suddenly appeared, speaking coldly to Gao Fan. "We don't care who you are. Get away from this young lady, now! We're from the Martial Department!"

"Oh?" Gao Fan raised an eyebrow, then smiled again. "So what if you're from the Martial Department? Scram, or I'll kill you without hesitation!"

"We are from the Nine Gates..."

Before they could finish identifying themselves, a whoosh echoed through the air.

SWISH!!

The old man following Ye Chao made his move. Unleashing the power of a peak Tier 13 expert, he sent the three men flying in a single strike, leaving them critically injured and on the verge of death.

"Miss, are you still going to refuse?" Ye Chao strolled over, a nonchalant smile on his face. "We are extending a very sincere invitation."

Qin Qiu and Qin Mo were scared witless. What in the world is happening, with one shocking event after another??

"Take them away!" Ye Chao ordered the old man with a wave of his hand, not wasting any more words.

"You two have gone too far!!" Qin Lie came striding over, his voice deep and stern. "In broad daylight, you forcibly enter my Qin Family's estate and try to abduct my people. Is such behavior not beneath your status?"

"So, you're Qin Lie?" Ye Chao leisurely lit a cigarette and squinted. "I told your Qin Family to come welcome us before. Why didn't we get a response? Or are you still trying to put on airs as the Qin Clan Royal Family, even in front of us?"

Qin Lie's face was grim, his eyes hostile.

"Don't be so tense." A smile reappeared on Ye Chao's face. "I'll let the past go, but I'll be taking these two ladies with me now. Of course, if you're not happy about it, feel free to try and stop us... as long as you're prepared to bear the wrath of both the Ye and Gao Families."

With that, Ye Chao blew a puff of smoke in Qin Lie's face and brazenly strode away.

"No! No!!"

"Let go of me!!"

Against a peak Tier 13 expert, no matter how much Qin Qiu and Qin Mo struggled, it was utterly useless.

"You..." Qin Lie roared. After being a dominant figure in Qiyun Road for so many years, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"What? Do you want to get the entire Qin Family exterminated?" Gao Fan sneered, his narrow, angular eyes flashing with a cold light.

Qin Zhuo quickly motioned with his hands, stepping forward to restrain Qin Lie.

"Trash should know their place," Gao Fan said with a contemptuous snort as he leisurely departed.
