The villainous simp ignores the plot and mercilessly torments the female lead to tears.

Those factions that received the invitations were in an uproar. They all wanted to see Qin Yan's demeanor, even if they had seen him before.

Of all the forces involved, the Qin family reacted most strongly to this incident.

All the elders, supreme elders, and ancestors of the Qin family sat silently in the Qin family's council hall, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Their faces were ashen, and their bodies were trembling slightly.

The Qin family patriarch let out a cold snort, his voice ringing out in everyone's ears like muffled thunder:

"Damn Qin Tianlin, damn Qin Xiaotian and his son, these two idiots have ruined our Qin family for thousands of years."

"If Qin Yan were still in our Qin family, the youngest Saint King in history would be from our Qin family."

The second patriarch of the Qin family sighed repeatedly: "Tell me, why didn't we know about this back then? If we had known, we would definitely have protected Qin Yan and not let him suffer the slightest harm."

The Supreme Elders, including Qin Tiankuang, kept their heads down and remained silent, not uttering a sound.

The family head, Qin Sizhe, found it somewhat amusing and couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon hearing this, the Qin family patriarch immediately looked at him and asked, "Qin Sizhe, what are you laughing at?"

Everyone looked up at Qin Sizhe at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Qin Sizhe took a deep breath, mustered his strength, and then raised his head to look at all the patriarchs and supreme elders, saying:

"Elders and Grand Elders, you are all here now filled with regret, saying things like 'If only' we had done this or that. But what I really want to ask is, if Qin Yan had really come to you for help back then, would you have really protected him? Would you have really given him countless resources?"

Upon hearing this, the Qin family patriarch's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Qin Sizhe smiled and said, "Ancestor, what I want to say is something Qin Yan once said: If Qin Yan had really asked you for help back then, could you have guaranteed that you would have protected him?"

"After all, Qin Yan was an outsider at the time. Even if you had found him, the most likely thing you would have done was to capture him directly, extract the Chaos Body's essence from his body, and then transplant it to Qin Aikun."

"After all, for you, the origin of the Chaos Body is the most important thing. Who it is in is not important. Moreover, Qin Xiaotian was the clan leader at the time. He has managed the Qin family well over the years, but he has not made any major mistakes."

"Are you really going to make Qin Xiaotian unhappy for the sake of a complete stranger like Qin Yan?"

Qin Sizhe's words struck a chord with everyone, silencing them all.

Qin Tiankuang and the other elders felt extremely relieved after hearing these words. Although Qin Tianlin was dead, they still harbored resentment towards their ancestors.

In the past, they dared not say anything to their ancestors, so they always tolerated it. But now that Qin Sizhe had come out to confront them, they were very happy and pleased.

The Qin family patriarch could not refute Qin Sizhe's words, because whatever they said now would only be hindsight.

If Qin Yan had actually sought their help several days ago, they would very likely have killed him on the spot, just as Qin Sizhe had said, and given the Chaos Body's essence within him to Qin Aikun.

Upon hearing this, the Qin family patriarch sighed and said, "Perhaps you are right. If things had been different back then, we might very well have killed Qin Yan and seized the Chaos Body Origin within him."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the Qin family patriarch say this. They did not expect that the powerful Qin family patriarch would actually back down.

This is absolutely outrageous.

The Qin family patriarch sighed and said, "But what should we do now? Do you think we still have a chance to win Qin Yan back?"

Qin Sizhe shook his head: "No, there is not even the slightest chance. If you ask me, what we should do now is treat Qin Yan as an outsider, not think too much, and focus on nurturing the younger generation of our Qin family."

He paused for a moment and said, "Actually, Qin Yan's strength is also a good thing for us. For many years to come, everyone will focus their attention on Qin Yan, and he will inevitably suppress a group of geniuses for at least several thousand years, becoming the strongest person of this era."

"In this way, no matter how strong others are, they will just be his foil. You all know the current situation of our Qin family. The younger generation is a bit lacking in talent. We should take this opportunity to let our current prodigies have more children and cultivate a new generation."

Qin Sizhe's words won the approval of the elders, who all nodded in agreement, agreeing that Qin Sizhe's idea was absolutely correct.

However, the Qin family patriarch was still unwilling to give up. He looked at Qin Sizhe and said, "Sizhe, I have an idea. Qin Yan comes from a small world, and his family is all in this small world. If we bring his family here and treat them well, do you think Qin Yan might..."

“No,” Qin Sizhe decisively interrupted the Qin family patriarch. He looked at the patriarch and said, “Patriarch, forgive my bluntness, but your idea is really dangerous.”

"Because we don't know what Qin Yan is thinking right now. If I'm not mistaken, Qin Yan's family should be the top-tier beings in that small world, and no one can threaten them."

"They could have been the overlords in that world, but by bringing them here rashly, it might have the opposite effect. Qin Yan might even be furious about it."

The Qin family patriarch sighed again: "Is this the only way?"

Qin Sizhe said with a serious expression, "Yes, Ancestor, this is the only way."

The Qin family patriarch nodded: "I understand. Sizhe, you are very good. You are a very clear-headed person. I believe the Qin family will get through this difficult time in your hands."

“We are too old to interfere in family matters anymore. You can go ahead and do your job.”

Qin Sizhe immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Ancestor, you are too kind. You are the pillar of the Qin family. The Qin family still needs the support of all the ancestors."

The Qin family patriarch also stood up: "Hehe, we are getting old, but we can still fight for the Qin family for a few more years. Alright, we'll be leaving now."

"If you need anything, just come to us. As long as it's for the Qin family, we will definitely help."

Seeing the hunched backs of the elders, Qin Sizhe gritted his teeth and said, "Elders, the Qin family will always be a powerful family."
