C69 Sun Qing'er's Powerful Aura!
"Beat up the Suns?"
"Consider it done!"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's request, Chung Yu didn't hesitate to accept.
After returning from the Sun family, Su Qingyin had clued him in on the situation. Old Master Sun had only agreed to let him marry into the family to use him as a pawn against Lin Chen.
But who did they think Lin Chen was?
To oppose Master Kunlun was to oppose all cultivators across the world!
With this realization, Chung Yu found himself harboring some resentment towards the Sun family.
Sure, he was overweight, and his thoughts sometimes got lost in the shuffle, but he was nobody's fool.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Sun family estate.
"Lin Chen, what brings you back to the Sun family?"
At the gate, Sun Qiang, his face smeared with purple ointment, looked like a diminutive purple creature.
Yet, upon seeing Lin Chen, his eyes betrayed a mix of panic and intense loathing.
If not for Lin Chen, would his father be clinging to life?
"Chung, it's showtime."
Lin Chen cast a sympathetic glance at Sun Qiang.
Poor guy. He had the misfortune of being the first to encounter Lin Chen on his initial visit to the Sun family and got a thrashing for it.
And now, once again, he ran into Sun Qiang.
Was he just naturally prone to beatings, or was he simply that unlucky?
"Performance?"
"What performance?"
Sun Qiang was momentarily confused and blurted out the question.
But before he could grasp the situation, a blur was all he saw before Chung Yu's fist connected with his face.
*Boom!*
Sun Qiang was sent crashing against the door, emitting a thud.
In that instant, his face was ablaze with pain, and his nose was smashed by Chung Yu's blow.
The commotion drew the attention of the Sun family's younger members in the courtyard.
Sun Xue, in particular, was horrified by Sun Qiang's pitiful state and the sight of Lin Chen and Chung Yu advancing with a menacing air.
Her face paled.
"Lin Chen, have you lost your mind?"
"Haven't you done enough damage to our Sun family?"
Sun Xue angrily confronted Lin Chen.
"You dare to insult my boss, you little brat? Are you looking for trouble or just begging for it?"
Chung Yu let out a cold snort and quickly approached Sun Xue, issuing a threat.
"I..."
Sun Xue's mouth hung open as she watched Chung Yu, her pretty face draining of color.
She might have been brazen with Lin Chen, but she couldn't afford to be with Chung Yu.
After all, the Sun family was well aware of Chung Yu's status!
"If you don't want a beating, then beat it!"
"And the rest of you, come here now if you want to avoid the same fate."
Chung Yu glanced at Sun Xue with contempt before gesturing to the Sun family juniors nearby.
Had he not vowed to never strike a woman, Sun Xue's earlier insolence would have earned her a swift slap.
"You... You're all being unreasonable!"
The young men of the Sun family were both angry and despairing at the sight of Chung Yu and Lin Chen's arrogance.
"Unreasonable?"
"When Old Master Sun used me as his pawn, was that not bullying?"
"And when you were harassing my boss, why didn't you speak up then?"
"You're nothing but a pack of shameless curs!"
Chung Yu didn't mince words, his retort seething with anger.
"Now, I'm going to count to three. If you don't come over here and take your lumps willingly..."
"Then brace yourselves for a world of hurt!"
The young men shivered under Chung Yu's naked threat, uncertain whether to comply or not.
"Chung Yu, as a member of the Chung family from the capital, don't you think your actions are a bit excessive?"
"What would the elders of the Chung family think if they heard about your misdeeds? I wonder what kind of consequences you'd face?"
In the midst of Sun Xue and the others' growing despair, a striking figure in a pale yellow dress emerged, her exquisite face framed by a touch of aloofness.
"Qing'er?"
Upon seeing the girl, Chung Yu's expression softened, his voice dropping a few notches.
He may have been aware that Old Master Sun's offer for him to marry into the family was manipulative, but he couldn't deny his fondness for Sun Qing'er.
And Sun Qing'er was speaking nothing but the truth.
"I only visit the temple when it's absolutely necessary."
"Mr. Lin, what brings you to the Sun family? Do tell."
"If your request is reasonable, I'll see if Grandfather can accommodate you."
Sun Qing'er fixed her gaze on Lin Chen, her tone confident and unyielding.
Lin Chen, observing the unflappable expression on Sun Qing'er's face, narrowed his eyes slightly.
This Sun Qing'er was intriguing.
Despite her youth and being at the Houtian realm, her composure and intellect clearly outshone all the Sun family's younger generation.
"I had planned to have Chung Yu stir up some chaos within the Sun family."
"Now, it seems unnecessary."
A subtle smile played on Lin Chen's lips as he let out a soft chuckle.
He approached Sun Qing'er, tilting her chin up with a single hand while his eyes brazenly surveyed her.
"Lin Chen, dare to mess with Qing'er, and I'll fight you with my last breath!"
"Yeah, we're with you on that!"
Sun Qiang and the other Sun family youths, witnessing Lin Chen's brazen behavior, were incensed.
They charged at Lin Chen without a second thought.
Chung Yu, unsure of Lin Chen's intentions, wasted no time in dealing with them, knocking each one down with a solid punch.
In moments, Sun Qiang and the others were sprawled on the ground once more.
"You're Sun Qing'er, aren't you?"
"I'm guessing Old Master Sun promised Chung Yu your hand in marriage."
"It was you who secretly sent him that message, wasn't it?"
Lin Chen saw Sun Qing'er's unflinching demeanor under his bold scrutiny, and a flicker of lethal intent passed through his eyes.
A woman with a mind more steadfast than even Old Master Sun and the rest.
Given the chance, she would undoubtedly become a formidable threat in the future.
"Boss, are you saying Old Master Sun's marriage arrangement between me and Qing'er was her idea?"
"That's impossible!"
"How could Qing'er, as beautiful as she is, willingly marry a fat guy like me?"
After Chung Yu had dealt with Sun Qiang and the others, he turned to Lin Chen, his astonishment evident.
After dealing with Sun Qiang and the others, Chung Yu turned to Lin Chen, visibly shaken, and asked, "If you don't want to be played to death by this woman, you'd better drop that idea!"
As Lin Chen finished speaking, Chung Yu and Sun Qing'er were still reeling when Sun Qing'er couldn't help but let out a charming smile. It was undeniable that she was stunningly beautiful, rivaling the likes of Ann Lan and Su Qingyin. Her smile had the power to bring a nation to its knees.
"Are you, the esteemed Master Kunlun, actually afraid of a girl like me?" Sun Qing'er inquired with a radiant face, full of curiosity.
Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Chen seized Sun Qing'er's delicate, snow-white neck, showing no sign of compassion. "Give me one good reason not to kill you!" he demanded.
A terrifying killing intent radiated from Lin Chen, instilling fear in Sun Xue and the others nearby. It was as though the grim reaper loomed over them.
Chung Yu watched Lin Chen and Sun Qing'er, his expression one of alarm. He couldn't fathom why Lin Chen harbored such a fearsome intent to kill Sun Qing'er. But he was certain of one thing: if Sister Qingyin trusted Lin Chen, then he had no reason to question Lin Chen's actions.
"I... am not a true blood of the Sun family!" Sun Qing'er managed to say, despite the overwhelming killing intent she faced, which Chung Yu and Sun Xue, mere bystanders, could barely withstand.
As Lin Chen's grip tightened, panic finally surfaced in Sun Qing'er's eyes, and she responded with difficulty, "Lin Chen, stop!"
"If anything happens to Qing'er, I swear, even if it means the ruin of my family, I will have vengeance upon yours!" Old Master Sun's thunderous voice erupted at that moment.
Regrettably, Lin Chen remained unfazed. He activated his Magical Third Eye, scrutinizing every inch of Sun Qing'er's body, inside and out. When he noticed the mist within her dantian, his eyes betrayed a flicker of astonishment.
"Is this the innate spiritual energy naturally formed during the maternal phase?" he wondered silently. It was rumored that those with innate spiritual energy could achieve remarkable feats by the age of twenty-two.
"Rumor has it that individuals born with innate spiritual energy, once they pass the age of 22..."
"Can propel their partners to advance rapidly in their cultivation!"
"Wait a minute, there's a blood chain encircling the mist in her dantian. Could this be the cauldron chosen by some supreme master?"
