Ye Guichen indeed encountered some trouble.
He was intercepted by the Qi Family not long after leaving the Qin Family.
This time, not only did Qi Hu and Qi Bao show up, but they also brought dozens of skilled fighters, each holding weapons and glaring as they surrounded Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen's phone was set to vibrate and left in the car, so he completely missed Mi Lan's calls.
"Kid, get down!"
Qi Hu arrogantly pointed at Ye Guichen, holding a long spear directly aimed at Ye Guichen's forehead.
After sending Qi Xiong home, the Qi Family checked him and found that Ye Guichen's throw had actually broken seven of Qi Xiong's ribs.
Family Head Qi was furious on the spot, but if he personally dealt with Ye Guichen, it would be a loss of face. Yet, not seeking revenge would also be a loss of face. Thus, he sent Qi Hu and Qi Bao with a large group to find Ye Guichen.
The Qi Family is, after all, a Martial Arts Top Scholar family, and their sign at the gate is their brand.
Moreover, the Qi Family runs a martial arts school with no shortage of third-rate experts.
They refused to believe that, with so many people, they couldn't handle Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen glanced sideways at Qi Hu and smiled as he walked down from the car: "What, still want a fight?"
Tan Lang and Shang Wen Dong also looked eagerly at the skilled fighters, itching to give it a try.
"Nonsense, damn kid, aren't you good at fighting? Today, I want to see how you fight!" Qi Hu roared, ready to command his men to move in when a clear voice sounded: "Hey, Qi Family, do you have any shame?"
The crowd parted, and Qiao Qiushi quickly walked up to Ye Guichen, arrogantly staring at Qi Bao: "You're not afraid of losing face, are you? So many people against three, how's your Qi Family supposed to have any honor left?"
As she spoke, Qiao Qiushi slapped her own face, looking indignant on Ye Guichen's behalf.
Qi Hu was stunned: "Little sister-in-law, this has nothing to do with you, step aside quickly!"
Qiao Qiushi had been investigating the Qin Family's matters and found out that Ye Guichen even dared to mess with the Luo Family, feeling ecstatic.
From this, she confirmed that Ye Guichen had no ties with the Luo Family whatsoever.
This pleased her immensely.
Though the Qiao Family was weak, it didn't hinder Qiao Qiushi from wanting to make Ye Guichen her brother-in-law.
"Who is your sister-in-law?" Qiao Qiushi puffed out her undeveloped chest, glaring at Qi Hu.
Previously, she would never dare speak to Qi Hu like this, but today she must show her sincerity in front of her future brother-in-law, Ye Guichen.
By helping Ye Guichen out today, he would surely be grateful and becoming her brother-in-law would naturally follow.
"Qi Hu, let me tell you, my sister will never fancy you, so stop thinking about her." Qiao Qiushi glanced around at the Qi Family people: "Look at you, claiming to be one of Qinghe's four big families, relying on numbers. Martial Arts Top Scholar? Where have I seen a Martial Arts Top Scholar needing numbers to win?"
Qi Hu blushed with anger.
He wanted to slap Qiao Qiushi.
However, he had a soft spot for Qiao Chunhe and didn't want to offend this little sister-in-law.
Additionally, his father had said if he could secure Qiao Chunhe and Qi Bao could secure Qiao Qiushi, they could easily swallow the Qiao Family, raising Qi Family's power above the Luo Family, why not?
Qi Hu kept his father's advice firmly in mind, admiring the plan greatly.
Once the Qi Family swallowed the Qiao Family, no one could say they were mere martial artists who didn't understand strategy.
"Third brother, take the little sister-in-law aside." Qi Hu, not wanting to deal with Qiao Qiushi directly, instructed Qi Bao.
Qi Bao stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Qiushi's arm: "Alright, Xiaoqiao, step aside, this is men's business."
Qiao Qiushi shook off Qi Bao's hand: "Qi Bao, you still dare call yourself a man? Pfft, if you have the guts to fight him one-on-one, and if you win, I'll be your girlfriend. How about that?"
As she spoke, Qiao Qiushi pointed at Ye Guichen, unafraid to escalate the situation.
Qi Bao was stunned.
He had coveted Qiao Qiushi for a long time and never heard such words from her.
"You, you mean it?" Qiao Bao knew he wasn't Ye Guichen's match but didn't mind using some tricks.
Qiao Qiushi raised her head and shouted: "Nonsense, with so many witnesses here, do you think I would lie to you?"
Qi Bao was ecstatic. He approached Ye Guichen, swinging the spear in his hand: "You heard it yourself. I've got an idea. If you kneel and admit defeat, I won't hold your attack on my brother against you. We'll let you go today."
Qiao Qiushi was anxious upon hearing this: "Hey, Qi Bao, what do you mean? That's cheating."
She didn't expect Qi Bao to be so cunning.
Using so many people to pressure Ye Guichen, anyone with a bit of sense would succumb.
Ye Guichen only had three people; no matter how skilled, what use would it be?
Qi Bao seemed quite pleased with his cleverness, looking up at Ye Guichen: "So, admit defeat, and we'll call it even."
Ye Guichen chuckled.
This Qi Family sure were overdeveloped physiques and underdeveloped brains.
He smiled leisurely: "I heard your Qi Family has an heirloom Martial Arts Top Scholar sign, a symbol of your family. I'll give you an opportunity. Kneel now, and recognize me as your ancestor. I might consider leaving that sign, how about that?"
Qiao Qiushi was utterly shocked by Ye Guichen's words.
This was beyond simple arrogance.
What allowed the Qi Family to be one of the four big families?
Much of it was due to ancestral protection, combined with their descendants' martial talent. For over a hundred years, the Qi Family held their place among the four big families with their fists.
The Martial Arts Top Scholar's sign was more than just their face.
If the sign were removed, the Qi Family's honor would be gone, symbolizing their diminished power.
Even the Leng Family, firmly holding the top spot, wouldn't dare say such words.
Being one of the four big families had a deep foundation beyond appearances. If the Qi Family decided to fight to the end, even the Leng Family would suffer greatly.
"Future brother-in-law, just for daring to say this, I will highly recommend you to my sister!"
After a long silence, Qiao Qiushi gave Ye Guichen a thumbs-up.
She was young and free to speak without fear; no one would truly blame her.
However, Ye Guichen's words had profoundly stirred the Qi Family.
"Kid, you're truly arrogant, wanting to remove our Qi Family sign?"
"Haha, fine, I'd like to see if you have the skill!"
Qi Bao and Qi Hu were furious.
They waved their hands, and dozens stepped forward.
Ye Guichen casually shook his head: "It seems you're unwilling to kneel and admit fault. Well then, so be it."
With that, Ye Guichen suddenly kicked out, sending Qi Bao flying.
