Xue An smiled, knowing that General Lin was referring to the Flowing Light Sword he had given him.

“As for swords, I’m not accustomed to using them, because I only believe that true hierarchy exists under the strength of one’s fists.”

This statement, brimming with murderous intent, caused many to slightly change color.

Especially An Chang, who inconspicuously took two steps back.

“No wonder Mr. Xue could achieve such a cultivation level at this age; this heart realm of his is something even I cannot match!” General Lin exclaimed.

At that moment, Chen Xiuhe chuckled, “What of it? Despite such achievements, there are still those who are unsatisfied, insisting on casting him out. Isn’t that laughable?”

Chen Xiuhe’s blade-sharp words pointed directly at the An Family.

Matriarch An’s face turned iron-blue, and An Xue and the others also wore expressions of embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Only An Ying’s gaze flickered, followed by a soft sigh.

He had anticipated that today’s birthday celebration would not be peaceful.

Yet he still hadn’t expected Xue An’s influence to be so astonishing.

One was the Chen Family, among the top ranks of Zhongdu’s wealthy households; the other was the undisputed leading figure in the military.

The two major forces had come together.

This was practically akin to directly slapping Matriarch An’s face.

General Lin was momentarily taken aback, “Oh? There are people who are so short-sighted? In that case, Mr. Xue, how about joining our military forces? You may choose any position you like!”

Hiss!

The condition proposed by General Lin made many suck in a breath of cold air.

Choose any position?

Wouldn’t that mean skyrocketing to the rank of a colonel or something similar?

Xue An smiled but did not respond to General Lin’s words; instead, he walked over to the An Family members.

An Xue’s complexion stiffened, and he said in alarm, “Xue An, what are you trying to do? I’ll have you know, General Lin is here.”

Xue An indifferently said, “I initially did not plan to spare any of you, as each one of you deserves death. But now, I have suddenly changed my mind.”

“Instead of killing you, it’s better to let you live first. I’ve said that one day you will kneel and beg me!”

After speaking, Xue An turned to smile at An Yan, “Wife, let’s go.”

General Lin followed, and Xue An and his companions all left the hall.

Only Chen Xiuhe walked at the very end. He flashed a smile at the ashen-faced Jin Xiurong, “Matriarch An, to be honest, you have played an undeniable role in reducing the once top-tier noble An Family to this state. And allow me to remind you, it’s no longer over a hundred years ago.”

“Do not think that just because your ancestors were part of the Imperial Family, you are still some noble lady of Qianqing. You are not the Empress Dowager!”

With that, Chen Xiuhe left with a cold laugh.

Jin Xiurong’s cheeks alternated between pale and flushed with the sting of ridicule.

After all, Chen Xiuhe was right—her maternal family descended from a side branch of the Imperial Family during Qianqing and later changed their surname to Jin.

She had always taken pride in this fact, and in her daily life, she imitated the Empress Dowager who had once held sway over the government.

Xue An and the others were gone.

The hall seemed empty and hollow.

Chi Changge watched An Yan’s retreating figure with a devastated soul, feeling as if something inside him had shattered.

He had been wanting to rush out and confront her.

But as soon as Chen Xiuhe and General Lin appeared, his courage faltered.

Sure, the Chi Family was not bad, but they could not afford to provoke the Chen Family, nor could they provoke General Lin!

So, he could only watch from a distance.

Watch this man, whom he initially looked down upon, sitting on an equal footing with these upper-class big shots.

This made Chi Changge realize.

He had lost.

He was utterly defeated.

“Brother, let’s go,” Chi Weiyang said softly.

Chi Changge nodded absentmindedly.

What else could he do but leave?

The An Family now seems to be in a situation where everyone has turned their back on them.

It’s no longer the An Family of the past.

The Chi Family has left.

The remaining guests looked at each other and also took their leave one after another.

And so.

The birthday celebration of the An Family, which started with grandeur, ended in bleakness.

Moreover, within a day, the events of the birthday celebration had spread throughout the entire Zhongdu.

Xue An’s name began to appear on the desks of the high-level members of many noble families.

Huo Family.

“Heh, interesting! Chen Xiuhe actually made the old witch of the An Family unable to step down in public,” the Family Head of the Huo Family, Huo Tianlu, said with a cold smile.

“Family Head, this Xue An killed Huo Heming, the young master of the Huo Family, on Mount Qingmang the other day. Should we…?” the chief steward asked in a low voice.

Huo Tianlu waved his hand, “If this Xue An were just an ordinary expert with no power or influence, then it would be fine to have him killed, but now he has good personal relationships with the Chen Family and General Lin, so we need to be cautious!”

“Yes!”

“However, we can’t let him be at ease! Why bother doing it ourselves when we can find a few assassins, spend some money, and have the matter settled?” Huo Tianlu sneered.

Huo Tianlu personally made a call, preparing to contact some assassins.

For these noble and rich families, strife and assassination were practically daily occurrences, so they all had familiar assassin brokers.

“Does Family Head Huo have any instructions?”

“Heh, why else would I call you? I’m commissioning you to kill someone!”

“Alright then, name them!” the voice on the other end of the phone said cheerily.

Business coming to their door naturally made them happy.

“The person is Xue An, he is…” before he could finish speaking.

The person on the other end had already hung up.

Huo Tianlu frowned, what was the problem with these assassin brokers?

Forget it, switch to another one!

He dialed another contact’s number.

“Who’s the target?”

“Xue An!”

Beep beep beep.

Another busy tone.

After making seven or eight calls, as soon as the other party heard it was Xue An, without exception, they all hung up.

In the end, Huo Tianlu sensed that something was wrong and preemptively asked while another assassin broker was about to hang up.

“What’s going on? Why do you all hang up the moment I mention Xue An?”

The person on the phone said with a bitter laugh, “Family Head Huo, because we can’t afford to provoke this Xue An.”

“There are people even you assassins can’t afford to provoke?”

“Heh, do you know who has died at the hands of this Xue An? Two SS-ranked assassins from the world’s second-ranked Xiaoyao and even more regular assassins were wiped out by him, significantly weakening Xiaoyao. Now they can’t even make it into the top ten anymore. Xue An did all this!”

“Family Head Huo, I advise you, Xue An is not someone to be trifled with. There are many more things about him that could scare you to death! You’d better watch out for yourself!”

After hanging up the phone, Huo Tianlu felt a chill all over.

“Family Head, what’s going on? Do you want me to contact some people to take care of this Xue An?”

“Get out!” Huo Tianlu cursed through gritted teeth.

“Don’t ever mention Huo Heming’s affair again. He’s dead, so just let him be dead! He was just an illegitimate son anyway; I have plenty of sons!” Huo Tianlu comforted himself.

Chen Family.

Chen Rushi watched the man who was sitting in the distance, chatting and laughing with her grandfather, Xue An, with mixed feelings in her heart.

At this moment, Wei Ruyan said to her indifferently: “Ru Shi, give it up, the relationship between Xue An and An Yan is unbreakable, and no one else can shake it!”

After a moment of silence, Chen Rushi replied with a wry smile, “Aren’t you the one who believes in love the least?”

“I didn’t before, but now I do, because today… I witnessed it with my own eyes!” Wei Ruyan said softly.
