After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

If this is true of Wen Ziren, then Hong Jingshan is even more so, since he is not the owner of this lake after all.

They came with ill intentions and held a huge advantage, but now this sudden change has occurred.

This left him feeling bewildered and uneasy.

But soon, a sharp glint flashed in Hong Jingshan's eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He was terrified because the other party had acted extremely strangely.

But now that she saw Qin Chuan's age and his miserable state, she immediately relaxed.

It seems the other party's cultivation level isn't that high either.

However, he still had some doubts, after all, the way Qin Chuan appeared before was too strange.

"Who are you, and why have you trespassed into this sacred lake?"

Before Wen Ziren could speak, Hong Jingshan took the initiative and asked.

Although the other party is young, their cultivation level doesn't seem to be very high.

However, he was unsure whether the other party was an ally hired by James Wan.

And, will this person have any accomplices later?

As Hong Jingshan spoke, the seven or eight members of the Hong family behind him tensed up, their eyes fixed on Qin Chuan.

"I encountered some mishaps during my teleportation and ended up here unintentionally. I'll rest for a while and then leave. You can continue without worrying about me."

Qin Chuan didn't want to answer at first, but then he realized that he had indeed mistakenly entered someone else's territory, so he explained a few things.

If he weren't currently seriously injured, and if he weren't experiencing a dull stinging pain in his left eye that forced him to check on it as soon as possible, he would definitely have chosen to leave this place first.

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Hong Jingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned to look at the Wen family members, their faces showed excitement.

"Could this be a trap?"

Seeing this, Hong Jingshan frowned and suddenly took a step forward.

In an instant, his cultivation at the first level of the Great Mystic Master realm completely dissipated!

He was about to speak when Wen Ziren spoke first.

"Senior, I am Wen Ziren. I have finally waited for you. Today, the Hong family wants to seize my Wen family's Spirit Lake and annex my Wen family."

"We hope that you, senior, can lend a helping hand. Afterwards, my Wen family will gladly offer up this Spirit Lake."

Wen Ziren bowed deeply and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.

Although both families were to be sent out of Linghu, he was well aware of the Hong family's ugly nature.

The Hong family, despite having an absolute advantage, has been hesitant to make a move.

It's just that they're worried he might launch a last-ditch attack, so they want to minimize the losses.

Rather than giving the Spirit Lake to these wolves with ulterior motives, he would rather give it to the stranger before him.

Let's take a gamble!

Upon hearing Wen Ziren's words, the Hong family members' expressions changed, and they all looked at Qin Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, waiting for his answer.

"Not interested in!"

Qin Chuan glanced at Wen Ziren, spoke softly, and then quickly closed his eyes again.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Hong family immediately revealed expressions of schadenfreude.

In contrast, the Wen family members were pale-faced, with despair in their eyes.

If a real fight breaks out, the Wen family will definitely be no match for the Hong family.

Wen Ziren's face was also pale. After hesitating for a moment, a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

"senior!"

Wen Ziren bowed respectfully and clasped his hands, saying, "If you are willing to help the Wen family overcome this difficulty, I am willing to give my daughter to you so that she may serve you for all eternity!"

As he spoke, he pushed the girl next to him towards Qin Chuan.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

A gift to Linghu Lake, and also a gift to my daughter!

Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement, thinking that James Wan had gone mad.

Wen Ziren took a deep breath, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy eyes.

He is gambling!

They were betting that this young man could help the Wen family resolve this crisis.

They also gambled on the other party's character, hoping it would be better than that of Hong Quanxian, the young master of the Hong family!

"father!"

Tears streamed silently down the girl's face as she pursed her lips tightly, looking at Wen Ziren with a helpless expression.

Seeing this, a pang of heartache flashed in Wen Ziren's eyes, and he sighed, "Wan'er, listen to me, this is the best choice for you and for the Wen family!"

Upon hearing this, the girl trembled slightly, looked at Wen Ziren's determined eyes, and slowly nodded.

Immediately, she took a few steps forward, stopping when she was still three zhang away from Qin Chuan, and bowed slightly.

"My daughter, Wen Wan'er, is willing to serve you, senior, and hopes that you will help the Wen family overcome this difficulty!"

Qin Chuan frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

Being addressed as "senior" by everyone does feel a bit strange.

His gaze swept over the Wen family members, finally settling on the girl.

After a long pause, Qin Chuan spoke calmly, repeating the same sentence as before.

"Not interested in!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Wan'er's pretty face turned pale, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and she looked as if she were about to collapse.

Despair was also evident on the faces of the Wen family members.

"Alas... Heaven is going to destroy the Wen family!"

Wen Ziren sighed deeply, his already aged face aging even more.

"Heartless, so heartless, so truly heartless!"

Inside the mask, the Wang family patriarch shook his head, looking heartbroken.

"Shut up!"

Qin Chuan thought coldly, "This is their own business. I just came here unintentionally."

Besides, it's this girl who's begging me now. If it were the other side, would I have to help the other side?

Upon hearing this, the Wang family patriarch was stunned and immediately fell silent.

He hadn't expected Qin Chuan to have such clear logic.

As he said, that seems to be the case.

Seeing that the strange young man had no intention of making a move, Hong Jingshan was delighted and was just about to continue his attack on the Wen family.

Just then, Hong Quanxian suddenly stepped forward, revealing his cultivation level as a ninth-level Xuan Master.

"Xian'er, come back!"

Seeing this, Hong Jingshan frowned and quickly spoke up.

Since the boy who appeared out of nowhere didn't interfere, he decided to ignore him.

As if he hadn't heard Hong Jingshan's words, Hong Quanxian took a few steps forward, his eyes fixed on Qin Chuan.

"Is something wrong?"

Sensing that gaze, Qin Chuan frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

He felt a growing displeasure at being disturbed time and time again.

"Boy!"

Hong Quanxian sneered and said sarcastically, "Stop playing tricks here. Go back to where you came from!"

Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!

His eyes were filled with the flames of jealousy. He couldn't stand seeing how Wen Wan'er treated Qin Chuan.

Moreover, even if the Wen family were to marry Wen Wan'er to a stranger, they would not agree to marry her to Hong Quanxian.

Under the watchful eyes of so many people, this is an utter disgrace; what normal man could tolerate it?

Qin Chuan frowned, his gaze sweeping across the young man's face before finally settling on the girl in the pale yellow dress beside him, and he immediately understood what was going on.

"If you're not deaf, you should have already heard what I said before."

After a moment of silence, Qin Chuan spoke coldly: "I don't want to repeat myself, but I have a piece of advice for you: don't beg for death!"

"Haha...did you guys hear that? This piece of trash actually said I was looking for death?"

Hong Quanxian burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
