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

Qin Qi stood behind Qin Yan, coldly watching Wang Chang without saying a word.

His current priority is to support Qin Yan, to clear Qin Yan of these charges first, and then deal with Wang Chang last.

Seeing this, Wang's mind went blank. Oh no, Qin Qi's expression meant he was angry, but he hadn't shown it yet.

Qin Yan picked up where Wang Chang left off, saying, "Martial Saint Wang Chang, as I said before, I did kill someone in the secret realm, but it was only to protect myself. Also, regarding Wu Cheng, I didn't kill him. He was killed by a black dragon, yes, the one I was riding."

At this moment, Wang Chang had no time to discern the truth or falsehood in Qin Yan's words. His mind was filled with how to exonerate himself and get Qin Qi to be lenient with his punishment.

Not far away, Jiang Lianyi took a deep breath and stepped out. Although she was nervous when facing Qin Qi, she was not afraid, after all, her grandfather was also a martial god.

She first bowed to Qin Qi and respectfully said, "Lianyi greets Grandpa Qin."

Qin Qi nodded slightly: "Mm."

Jiang Lianyi then looked at Qin Yan and said, "Grandpa Qin, Qin Yan killed many of our people for no reason, a total of twenty or thirty. You can't cover this up."

Qin Qi ignored her and looked at Qin Yan instead.

Qin Yan's lips curled up slightly: "Jiang Lianyi, do you have no shame? You say I killed someone for no reason, then let me ask you, when I killed someone, how many of you were there, and how many of my people were there?"

Jiang Lianyi's face stiffened upon hearing this. She had been knocked unconscious when Qin Yan killed someone, so she didn't know, but later others told her that Qin Yan had killed someone all by himself.

Because Qin Yan had driven away Ming Yu, Dongfang Bai, and the others.

She tried to lie, but it was no use; Qin Qi could see right through her.

Qin Yan sneered, "It seems you already know. There were about thirty of you at the time, and I was alone. You say so many of you attacked me, so wasn't I acting in self-defense?"

"As for their deaths, it can only be said that they were weak. If I were slightly weaker, I might have been the one who died."

Jiang Lianyi was furious, but she couldn't refute it, so she could only huff and stop talking.

Wu Kun also walked up cautiously. Although he was also afraid of Qin Qi, since Wu Cheng was dead, he wouldn't survive even if he returned to the Wu family. It was better to figure out the problem first.

He looked at Qin Yan and asked, "Young Master Qin, did you really not kill my young master?"

Qin Yan didn't answer him, but instead took out his phone and dialed Ji Yunyao's number directly.

The phone was answered after ringing twice, and Ji Yunyao's clear voice came from the other end: "Hello, Qin Yan."

Qin Yan asked in a calm voice, "How did Wu Cheng die?"

Ji Yunyao paused for a moment, then said, "It was killed and eaten by a black dragon."

Qin Yan didn't ask anything more and hung up the phone. He looked at Wu Kun and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Wu Kun gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Qin, could you hand over that black dragon to my Wu family to deal with?"

He thought that if he brought back the culprit who killed Wu Cheng, he might be able to find some of Wu Cheng's remains or belongings inside its stomach.

This way, he can lessen his punishment.

However, Qin Yan merely glanced at him coldly and said, "Get lost."

Wu Kun trembled all over, dared not speak again, and could only retreat in a daze.

Xiao Fan opened his mouth as if to say something, but felt as if his throat was being choked, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Qin Yan glanced at him, then said to a guard, "Go and invite Xiao Ruyi here."

The guard agreed and jogged away.

Seeing this, Qin Qi said, "Have you finished talking about your business? It's my turn."

He took two steps forward, looked at Wang Chang, and exuded a powerful aura that directly enveloped Wang Chang.
