Rural Romantic Life

Qi Weilong was slapped twice in a row and had no chance to fight back. He felt more frustrated and furious than ever before.

Just as he was about to charge forward in a fit of rage, Qi Xiong suddenly shouted, "Wei Long, you're no match for him. You should step back!"

Qi Weilong's body trembled, and he belatedly became more aware of his surroundings. He withdrew as the family head had instructed, but his expression was somewhat unwilling.

Qi Xiong walked up to the group of young men, stared at the leader, and asked, "I just heard someone call you Qingmu, and you look somewhat like someone. Could you be Chen Qingmu from the Chen family of the capital?"

Although the Qi family had been away from the capital for several years, Qi Xiong still remembered many familiar faces from the capital, especially the Chen family, with whom the Qi family had an adversarial relationship.

Several years ago, the Chen family and the Qi family were constantly fighting openly and secretly, with both sides wanting to kill the other.

Because of the Qi family's gradual decline, the mysterious appearance of a hereditary disease, and the influence of the Chen family and several other enemies, the Qi family was forced to disappear from the capital overnight.

They returned to Longshan in Jiangcheng, which is the ancestral home of the Qi family.

Years later, he originally thought that the Chen family, and several other families, had probably long forgotten about their declining Qi family.

Unexpectedly, under these circumstances, the martial arts prodigies from the Chen family and several other families actually broke into the Qi family's residence.

Just by looking at them, you could tell they were up to no good.

Faced with Qi Xiong's question, the young man leading the group, Chen Qingmu, smiled amusedly and said calmly, "Uncle Qi, I didn't expect that after so many years, you would still remember your junior?"

When the Qi family left the capital, Chen Qingmu was only a few years old.

He was genuinely surprised that Qi Xiong still remembered him.

Upon confirming Chen Qingmu's identity, Qi Xiong's heart skipped a beat, and he asked directly, "Chen Qingmu, what brings you to our Qi family today with several other prodigies?"

Chen Qingmu said calmly, "Uncle Qi, I heard from my father that when your Qi family left, it seems you took some things from our Chen family with you!"

"And some things from a few other companies!"

"Our main purpose in coming here today is to take back everything that your Qi family took away!"

Chen Qingmu's expression suddenly turned playful, then he asked casually, "Uncle Qi, you wouldn't be going to refuse to return those important things to our families, would you?"

Upon hearing Chen Qingmu's words, everyone in the Qi family was baffled, while only some of the Qi family's higher-ups who knew the events of that year were able to fully understand the specific meaning behind Chen Qingmu's words.

Back then, the Qi family had fallen into decline. What ability or qualification did they have to take away the belongings of the Chen family and the other families? It was clearly Chen Qingmu and his group who came to their door today, wanting to forcibly seize their possessions from the Qi family.

They took away some important things that the Chen family and several other families had not taken from the Qi family back then.

Instantly, those who understood the situation erupted in fury.

Qi Xiong naturally understood the meaning behind Chen Qingmu's words, and almost without thinking, he angrily retorted, "Chen Qingmu, how dare you, a mere junior, brazenly come to our Qi family to forcibly seize and plunder?"

"You think too highly of yourself, and you really look down on the Qi family!"

Even those who weren't particularly perceptive instantly understood upon hearing the words of the family head, Qi Xiong.

They couldn't believe that Chen Qingmu and his group had broken into their Qi family's home today with the intention of robbing and extorting.

This undoubtedly enraged them instantly: "Don't even think about it! If you want anything from the Qi family, you'll have to step over our bodies first!"

"Although our Qi family has declined, we are not pushovers that can be easily manipulated!"

"Yes, let's fight them!"

"Get them all out of here, make them get lost..."

Ignoring the roars of the others, Chen Qingmu fixed his narrow eyes on Qi Xiong not far away and said expressionlessly, "Uncle Qi, is this your answer?"

His words carried a subtle threat.

Qi Xiong snorted coldly: "Chen Qingmu, my clansmen have already made it very clear that I don't want to fight with you juniors. If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave the Qi family immediately!"

"Otherwise, they'll accuse me of bullying the weak!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingmu's lips curled into a wicked smile as he sneered, "Uncle Qi, do you think I'm afraid of your Qi family, or afraid of you?"

"Your Qi family has completely declined. The old fogies are no longer able to move, and the younger generation hasn't produced a single decent martial arts prodigy."

"Given this current predicament, do you think your Qi family can still withstand us?"

"I doubt your Qi family even has that qualification anymore, does it?"

Chen Qingmu looked at Qi Xiong and the others with disdain.

After hearing Chen Qingmu's words, Qi Xiong finally understood why the younger generation of their Qi family were all inexplicably falling ill, causing the family's prodigies to fall one after another before they could truly grow up.

It turned out that, just as Lu Yang had warned him not long ago, it was the Chen family and several other families who were behind this.

At this moment, Qi Xiong's anger was like magma inside a flame, surging to an unprecedented extreme.

He wished he could just take action and kill all of Chen Qingmu and the others in front of him at once.

However, as the head of the family, he remained perfectly clear-headed.

If he were to personally kill all the prodigies of the Chen family and the other families, then the Qi family would inevitably face a true catastrophe soon.

Let the Qi family disappear from this world completely, becoming a thing of the past.

He suppressed his extreme anger and intense killing intent, and coldly asked, "Chen Qingmu, what exactly do you want?"

Seeing Qi Xiong obediently admit defeat, Chen Qingmu's wicked smile deepened, and he couldn't help but say, "Uncle Qi, you're quite sensible; you have the demeanor of a family head!"

"Since you've agreed, we won't make things difficult for your Qi family. As long as your Qi family hands over several of your most powerful martial arts inheritances, as well as your family's most treasured artifacts, we'll leave your Qi family immediately!"

"Our Chen family, along with several other families, can assure you that we will never set foot in your Qi family's territory again!"

The Qi family was subjected to death by powerful immortal martial artists invited by the Chen family and several other families, ensuring that no more geniuses would emerge from the Qi family in the future, and the Qi family gradually and truly perished and declined.

Furthermore, with the Qi family no longer possessing their clan's most prized possession and still having several powerful martial arts lineages, they posed no threat whatsoever to the Chen family and the other families.

Why did they have to do it for so long and actually wipe out the entire clan?

Wouldn't it be more interesting and wonderful to let the Qi family gradually disappear in despair?
