Su Bailian shivered as she cowered in the back.
She looked up at Qin Luo, who stood boldly at the front, exuding an air of arrogance.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, her expression utterly shocked.
Wait a minute!
Big bro, why are you suddenly acting so aggressively?!
Didn’t we just come here to attend this fancy banquet and grab some dinner?
Ning Qingyuan stepped into the doorway, her expression stiff.
Watching Qin Luo’s antics, she couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her eye.
Huh?
Why are you suddenly picking fights with people?
Although she had seen Qin Luo and her niece’s outrageous antics online before,
but... do you two have no sense of occasion?
Are you really going to pull this kind of stunt at a high-profile event like this?
Just look at the guests here—good heavens, more than half of Wang City’s influential families are present!
Not to mention some big-shot families who’ve traveled all the way from the Western nations.
Ning Qingyuan was now torn between turning back or continuing inside.
What made it even more awkward was...
Su Muwan’s mother, Ning Qingxuan, and her family weren’t even here!
Su Ba and her father were still passed out from drinking earlier.
Su Lingtian, being socially awkward, had opted out of attending such events.
And Ning Qingxuan had claimed she had a beauty appointment and couldn’t make it.
Seriously? Is that even a valid excuse?
Why don’t you come and see what your kid’s entourage is up to!
However, Ning Qingyuan found some solace in one thing.
She glanced at Su Muwan, who remained calm and composed.
Good, this kid still has her wits about her. She needs to rein Qin Luo in.
As for Su Muwan...
Originally, she had just been thinking about what to eat for dinner, but now she was fully alert.
Geez, Qin Luo, what are you doing?!
I’ve said before that I won’t tolerate anyone provoking me anymore.
But!
No one’s even provoked us yet! Why are you charging in like this?
Su Muwan felt completely thrown off.
Shouldn’t it be the usual script where someone throws some insults first, she endures it for a while, and then finally snaps and unleashes her fury?
That’s how it’s supposed to go, right?
But now, Qin Luo had jumped the gun, leaving Su Muwan feeling out of sorts.
Still... since Qin Luo had already started the fight, it would be unbecoming of her not to back him up.
Besides.
Su Muwan scanned the room.
Who even are these extras?
I’m only wary of those with T0-level protagonists backing them. What are you lot even worth?
The Long family and the Shangguan family? I’ve already crossed paths with them before.
Pushing them a little further won’t make much of a difference.
As for the other families...
Sorry, but who even are you?
With that thought, Su Muwan strode over to Qin Luo’s side, lifting her haughty chin and sweeping her icy gaze across the faces of the crowd.
She coldly declared, “A bunch of worthless trash. You dare insult me but won’t admit it?”
“I’ll say it one more time. Who just disrespected me?”
“Step forward, kneel, and kowtow to apologize!”
“Otherwise...”
Su Muwan slowly clenched her fingers into a fist, sneering, “Don’t blame me for grinding you all into dust and turning you into meatballs!”
Ah, this feels so good!
Ever since I reincarnated, I haven’t had the chance to flaunt my power like this!
It’s so satisfying to say these words myself!
Huh?
Ning Qingyuan, who had been about to ask Su Muwan to stop Qin Luo, froze in place.
Meanwhile, with Qin Luo and Su Muwan’s outrageous outbursts, the entire room fell into stunned silence.
Ye Meng’s hand, holding a wine glass, froze mid-air.
She stared in shock at the duo who had suddenly drawn all the attention.
Then...
Her pupils trembled violently.
Let it be known.
This was Ye Meng’s first time meeting Su Muwan and Qin Luo in person.
Up until now, everything she knew about them had come from online gossip.
She had prepared a whole arsenal of schemes, waiting for Su Muwan to foolishly walk right into them.
But now...
Ye Meng had come to a conclusion.
And that was...
These two are insane!!!
Can anyone relate?
We haven’t even set the trap yet!
But they’ve already dug their own hole and jumped in!
What?!
How do people like this even exist in the world?
However!
Ye Meng took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to vent her frustration.
Then, she couldn’t help but smirk.
She looked at Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
This way... Su Muwan had effectively offended everyone present!
And indeed, that was the case.
Following Su Muwan’s brazen provocation, the previously amiable and harmonious atmosphere among the gathered families turned sour.
They all frowned, whispering among themselves.
“How utterly arrogant!”
“Who is this young upstart? How can she be so disrespectful?”
“Exactly, look at her behavior. She’s insolent, reckless, and a disgrace to the reputation of family heirs...”
Before they could finish.
Slap!!!
A black claw-like shadow lashed out, striking the speaker.
Qin Luo sneered, “Old fool! Who gave you the right to speak?!”
“Keep yapping, and I’ll make sure you scream your lungs out in a coffin!”
Hiss!!!
The room collectively gasped.
Especially the ones who had been slapped—their faces twisted in disbelief.
They got hit just for speaking?!
Are you some kind of domineering CEO or something?!
We’re the heads of prestigious families!
I—
I—
I’ll shut up for now!
At that moment.
Another man stepped forward.
He strode confidently toward Su Muwan, stopping in front of Qin Luo.
With a mocking tone, he said, “Su Muwan! Aren’t you supposed to be amazing?”
“The internet hypes you up like some kind of god!”
“Well, perfect timing!”
He clenched his fist, grinning viciously. “My name is Lei Long, the treasured prodigy of the Lei family.”
“Su Muwan!”
“You’re said to be able to destroy Peak Realm cultivators with a single glance, right?”
“Well, go ahead! Destroy me!”
“I’m standing right here!! Come at me!”
With that, Lei Long assumed a combat stance, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at Su Muwan.
Destroying Peak Realm cultivators with a glance? Are we filming a movie here?
No, even movies aren’t this exaggerated!!
Jiang City is just a small, insignificant place!
Their media loves to sensationalize nonsense to grab attention!!
Hmph!
I’ll expose your true colors right now!!!
As Lei Long made his grand entrance, the crowd gradually quieted down.
Ye Meng watched with interest.
Lei Long, the prized prodigy of the Lei family, had already reached the late Foundation Realm at just 19 years old.
Su Muwan... how will you handle this?
Just as she thought this.
Everyone watched as Su Muwan frowned slightly, then coldly said, “Get lost.”
The moment she spoke.
Splat!!!
Lei Long, who had been standing confidently, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Then!
Thud!
Lei Long collapsed to the ground, his face pale, his limbs twitching uncontrollably, and blood pouring from his seven orifices.
“Young Master!”
“Lei Long!!”
Members of the Lei family rushed forward, only to be horrified by what they found.
“Young Master!! He’s crippled!!”
Gasps filled the room.
Everyone stared at Su Muwan in disbelief.
He’s crippled? Just like that?
How did she do it?!
Before anyone could process what had happened.
Ye Meng stepped forward, pointing an accusatory finger at Su Muwan. “Su Muwan! How heartless can you be?!”
“Lei Long just wanted to spar with you! How could you cripple him?!”
“And before this, my brother was just chatting with Ning Muqing, but you beat him to a pulp without even asking for an explanation!!”
“You’re truly a vicious person!!”
Seeing Ye Meng step up, the other family heirs also joined in the condemnation.
“Miss Su! This is Wang City, not your Jiang City!”
“You owe us an explanation!”
“That’s right!! Su Muwan, what does your Su family even amount to here in Wang City?!”
“If you don’t provide a satisfactory solution today, we, the families of Wang City, will demand answers from your family!!”
