The father and son at the forefront of the crowd, Nan Zhan, felt a chill run down their spines as if a bloodthirsty beast had locked onto them. They almost wet their pants, but with Qin Wudao right by their side, they managed to suppress their fear and avoid losing face.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead,

Nan Rui directed a cold stare at Ye Huan, shoved his hands into his pockets, spat fiercely, and said:

"Ye Huan, you are simply too damn arrogant."

"Kill as many as come?"

"Can't you see Qin Wudao from the Dragon Gate's Qin Family, who also holds the position of the Inner Sect's third elder, is here?"

"Are you saying that if he's still here in ten minutes, you'd kill him too?"

Ye Huan remained expressionless, uttering: "In ten minutes, anyone still in the courtyard will die! Qin Wudao included."

As soon as his words fell,

"..."

The entire venue fell silent.

At this moment, even if a pin dropped, it would be clearly heard.

Everyone except Ye Huan and Qin Wudao was dumbfounded, their jaws almost hitting the floor.

Especially Nan Rui.

His question was really meant to use Qin Wudao's presence to intimidate Ye Huan and suppress his arrogance.

Who knew Ye Huan would actually accept the challenge, stating that if Qin Wudao was still there in ten minutes, he'd die?

"Elder Qin, did you see? This Ye Huan is so arrogant, he's absolutely lawless!"

"He messes with someone else's wife, gets confronted, yet feels no shame, no disgrace, and not guilty at all. Instead, he brazenly tells people to leave, threatening to kill them!"

"He even has the audacity to claim he'll take you down, Elder Qin. This kid is simply outrageous!"

"I'm angry for you!"

"I'm livid!"

Nan Rui pointed at Ye Huan, speaking bitterly to Qin Wudao.

But in his heart, he was secretly gloating.

Provoking Qin Wudao? This bastard Ye Huan really wants to die!

"Yes, this kid is insanely reckless, daring to threaten Elder Qin. Is he tired of living, or just tired of living?"

"He thinks he's something special just because he's the Crown Prince of Huaxia? Compared to Elder Qin, he's nothing! Yet he dares speak disrespectfully to Elder Qin, he's really courting death!"

"To play with someone else's wife and still be so righteous, suggests this kid has no boundaries; to speak rudely to Elder Qin indicates this kid is full of himself;"

"I say, Elder Qin should teach him a lesson on behalf of his parents, educate him on their behalf!"

"I think there's no need; we should handle such scum; we should take action on behalf of Elder Qin and give this kid a good beating, let him know what it means to respect the hierarchy!"

After Nan Rui's resentful speech, the thugs of the Nan Clan echoed him, condemning Ye Huan while brandishing their weapons menacingly, as if ready to pounce and beat Ye Huan.

But in truth, they were only putting on a show, hoping to gain Qin Wudao's favor by taking his side.

"Enough!!!"

Qin Wudao's angry shout rang out.

The curses stopped abruptly, and the scene fell silent.

Nan Rui and Nan Zhan exchanged glances, the joy and cunning evident in their eyes.

It was apparent that Qin Wudao was very angry!

He was furious, and the consequences would be serious!

That punk Ye Huan was definitely going to get a harsh lesson from Qin Wudao!

"Junior, why is there such hostility in you?" Next to him, Qin Wudao's expression was as dark as a storm, his voice icy and filled with rage.

"Over seven hundred people forcibly entering my courtyard without permission—isn't it normal for me to be hostile? Should I welcome you with a smile?"

Ye Huan scoffed with hands in pockets.

"Storming your place? Ye Huan, don't you genuinely know why we're here!"

"Would we trouble you if you hadn't done the vile act of messing with someone else's wife?"

Before Qin Wudao could reply, Nan Rui burst out in fury.

"Nan Rui, aren't you the one who's clueless?" Ye Huan retained his calm demeanor, sneering, "Qin Ya already said she'd rather die than marry a punk like you, yet you have the nerve to call her 'wife'. Have some decency, and get a clue!"

"She doesn't want to marry, but she has to, by family decree and arranged matchmaker!"

"Regardless of what I say, I'm taking her today back to the Nan Family!"

"Ye Huan, if you dare block me or cause trouble today, you've got a lot coming!"

Feeling utterly stifled, Nan Rui shouted in anger.

"Today, you won't take anyone from my villa."

"Besides, let me remind you. You have eight minutes to get out of my courtyard. Otherwise..."

Ye Huan, no longer wasting words toward Nan Rui's rant, cast a cold gaze upon everyone, saying icily, "In eight minutes, deal with the consequences yourselves!"

"I'd like to see what consequences you think you can bring me!"

"If I don't teach you a harsh lesson today, I'll eat my words!"

Suppressing his nervousness, Nan Rui raged on.

In the past, he wouldn't dare speak to Ye Huan like this.

But now was different, with Qin Wudao as his backing, what was a small-time Ye Huan?

Who was Qin Wudao?

An elder of the Dragon Gate's Inner Sect!

With him present, no matter how capable Ye Huan was, he couldn't stir up any trouble!

Especially since Ye Huan had already enraged Qin Wudao.

Qin Wudao was bound to make a move, and when he did, Ye Huan would be in for it!

After scolding, he kept pointing at Ye Huan, then turned to Qin Wudao, gritting his teeth, "Elder Qin, this punk not only snatched my fiancée to his place but also dared to threaten you. He not only wrecked the Qin-Nan alliance but showed you utter disrespect; tell me, how should we handle him?"

Qin Wudao glanced coldly at Nan Rui, then looked away, clasping his hands behind his back, clearly not intending to heed Nan Rui's words.

Yet evidently, he was extremely angry!

His fury almost reaching the breaking point!

Noticing this, a subtle curve formed on Nan Rui's lips.

He could easily infer why Qin Wudao ignored him and didn't take action against Ye Huan.

Simple—Qin Wudao was waiting for Ye Tiance!

After all, despite everything, Ye Huan was a direct descendant of the Ye-Li clan, and directly disciplining him could substantially damage relations between the Qin family and the Ye-Li clans.

Once Ye Tiance arrived, Qin Guangming would definitely explain Ye Huan's 'crimes' to him, leading to Ye Huan's reprimand!

So much so that even Ye Tiance wouldn't dare react adversely!

Feeling secretly delighted, Nan Rui's face bore a cruel smile, already imagining the miserable state Ye Huan would be in.

He looked at Ye Huan, sneering repeatedly, "Ye Huan, if you hand over Qin Ya now, I'll be kind enough to speak for you to Elder Qin, have him go easy on you when he teaches you a lesson, otherwise, even if your father arrives later, Elder Qin will still beat you till you're screaming..."

Before Nan Rui could finish,

A deep, icy male voice boomed from the back of the crowd!

"Who's getting whom, beaten and screaming!?"
