Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Chu Family Has Nothing to Do With Him

It was the child his daughter, Chu Xinyue, had brought with her all those years ago!

The boy that the Qin Family refused to acknowledge.

Now he was all grown up, and he had come to the Chu Family’s territory!

A buzzing filled Chu Qianqiu’s head!

He felt no guilt in his heart, only anger!

Meanwhile, Chu Sihai was blinking rapidly, his mind racing to come up with a plan.

It was obvious. Chu Xinyue’s son had come to stir up trouble, ruining a perfectly good banquet.

”Dad, what should we do with him?”

Chu Qianqiu’s expression was savage. ”First, find out exactly what he did!”

Chu Sihai stepped forward. ”The heads of Jinling’s various departments were here for the banquet, but now they’ve all left. Did you go tattling to them? Let me make this clear to you: never mind you alone, not even the other prominent families can shake the Chu Family’s position in Jinling!”

As Chu Sihai spoke, he tilted his head up proudly. ”The Chu Family is firmly established in Jinling. You’d best not get any ideas. I know you’re here for revenge...”

Qin Tianxuan slowly walked over.

Chu Sihai squinted. ”Right, what’s your name again? You were just a little kid when Chu Xinyue was kicked out of the family. So many years have passed, do you still hate us this much?”

SLAP!

Qin Tianxuan sent a hard slap straight across his face.

Chu Sihai staggered from the blow, completely stunned.

Watching from behind, Chu Qianqiu could no longer hold back. He erupted in fury, ”Men, seize him!”

No one dared to move.

The Chu Family’s security guards had already been beaten into submission.

The remaining members of the Chu Family all had their heads down, silent.

HISS!

Chu Qianqiu sucked in a cold breath, sensing something was very wrong. ”What’s gotten into all of you? You won’t even listen to my orders? You... what are you all so afraid of?”

SLAP!

Another of Qin Tianxuan’s slaps landed on his face.

Chu Qianqiu was flabbergasted, clutching his face. ”You... you bastard whelp, you even dare to hit me?”

He should have kept his mouth shut. Qin Tianxuan had already lowered his hand, but now he started swinging again.

One slap, then two!

Three, then four!

He slapped Chu Qianqiu relentlessly, forcing him to keep backing away.

Naturally, his face grew swollen and numb until he couldn’t even open his eyes.

He roared, stomped his feet, and shouted nonstop.

But he didn’t dare to fight back.

It was all just empty blustering. Qin Tianxuan couldn’t help but laugh.

Reaching out, he grabbed the old bastard’s collar and sneered in his ear, ”I am here for revenge. But I won’t let your Chu Family fall so easily. I’m going to wear you down, piece by piece, and make you live in terror and fear from now on! Only then will the rage in my heart be appeased!”

Shoving the old bastard away, Qin Tianxuan straightened his clothes and turned to face the rest of the Chu Family. ”I am Chu Xinyue’s son. My surname is Qin, and my name is Qin Tianxuan! The Chu Family had better prepare itself. In the days to come, you will learn the meaning of a fate worse than death!”

As he spoke these cold, threatening words, a chill ran down everyone’s spines, as if they had been plunged into an ice cellar.

Although Qin Tianxuan stood there alone, they felt an immense pressure, so great it was difficult to breathe.

Qin Tianxuan departed haughtily.

He left the dazed members of the Chu Family staring at each other in the banquet hall.

The father and son duo, Chu Sihai and Chu Qianqiu, were both clutching their faces, all their dignity gone.

”Dad, he... he hit people right on the spot! Those are the tactics of a common thug! Are... are you alright? I’ll call the police right now!”

Chu Qianqiu, his face swollen, roared, ”Call the police? You want all of Jinling to know about our family’s disgrace? You... what would you even say? That at the Chu Family’s banquet, I, Chu Qianqiu, was beaten by a madman until my face swelled up?”

Chu Sihai was embarrassed. ”Then... we just let him go? The man is truly insane. He has no regard for family ties at all. No matter how you look at it, I’m still his elder!”

”In my name, Chu Qianqiu, send a message to all the major families in Jinling, and to the high-ranking officials!”

Chu Qianqiu took a deep breath, gritting his teeth as he pressed an ice pack to his face. ”Make it clear in the message that the Chu Family will not acknowledge Qin Tianxuan’s identity! His mother, who’s been dead for years, ceased to be a member of the Chu Family long ago. Therefore, that brat has absolutely no connection to the Chu Family!”

Chu Sihai smacked his lips and nodded repeatedly. ”You’re still the thoughtful one, Dad. It would be bad if that Qin Tianxuan set his sights on our family’s fortune.”

”Also, implore the heads of the various departments to understand. The Chu Family is a scholarly and distinguished house with a great enterprise. We wouldn’t deign to lower ourselves to the level of a madman who shows up causing trouble. Qin Tianxuan is just a mad dog. Please ask the leaders of Jinling not to take his words seriously!”

At this, Chu Qianqiu shot a harsh glare at his useless son. ”The family must keep this a strict secret. No one else can know what happened tonight, especially not Chuchu. We can’t let her know the truth. You know that girl. She’ll start asking about what happened back then, and that will be a problem!”

And so, the Chu Family’s banquet ended abruptly.

Meanwhile, the message from Chu Qianqiu disavowing any connection to Qin Tianxuan spread throughout the major factions and to the high-ranking officials.

Those who knew the inside story could only shake their heads speechlessly. ’Chu Qianqiu is a real dumbass! So fucking stupid.’

As for the Qi Family, who had been on relatively good terms with the Chu Family, they burst out laughing when they saw the message.

”Oh, Chu Family, Chu Family... you had a chance to cling to the Night Emperor’s thigh. Even if you, Chu Qianqiu, had to get on your knees, beg for forgiveness, and weep bitterly, you should have desperately tried to acknowledge Mr. Qin!”

”Desperately trying to push away a grandson like Night Emperor Celestial Profound, and even fucking drawing a line in the sand? What kind of move is that?”

”There’s nothing more to say. That was a brain-dead move. The Chu Family... is finished!”
