Chapter 448: Chapter 297: All is Well
Liu Wentian’s voice instantly captured everyone’s attention. The onlookers, seeing that it was Qin Qihuang’s male companion from before—the bodyguard—felt a hint of disdain. What could a little bodyguard do now? Could he change anything?
Qin Qihuang had been strong before, staring with wide eyes and clenching her teeth, refusing to submit. But when she heard Liu Wentian’s voice, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Liu Wentian quickly walked up to Qin Qihuang, seeing her disheveled appearance, her delicate makeup ruined by the red wine, her clothes wet at the front, as she looked at him with tears streaming down.
Liu Wentian’s eyes narrowed slightly. He pulled a few tissues from the table nearby and gently wiped the wine off Qin Qihuang’s face, “Don’t cry, it’s okay now.”

“Mmm-mmm…”
Qin Qihuang suddenly felt even more aggrieved, like a person who had been bullied by outsiders and had held back from crying until she saw a family member, then burst into tears, sobbing out loud and throwing herself into Liu Wentian’s arms like a little girl.
...
Liu Wentian gently patted her frail back and looked coldly at Yao Jianren, asking, “Was it you who splashed the wine?”
Seeing Liu Wentian come in, Yao Jianren’s face showed no panic, but instead, a sinister smile appeared. “That’s right, it was me who splashed it!”
“A few grown men bullying a woman, don’t you feel any shame?” Liu Wentian’s voice grew even colder.
“Shame? Shame my ass! That bitch refused to drink a few glasses of wine, so what if I splashed her face with wine? Ungrateful wretch!”
Yao Jianren cursed a few times, and then mockingly said, “I thought you had run off, little boy. I didn’t expect you’d actually dare to come back! What, you want to stand up for her? Haha! Do you think you’re worthy? Weren’t you bragging about competing with a few of my Ancient Martial Artist friends? Fine then, let’s see you try. I will play you to death!”
“Zheng Big Brother, this little bodyguard, he said he is also an Ancient Martial… uh, Zheng Big Brother, what’s wrong with you?” Yao Jianren turned his head to look at Zheng Kaiming and the others, only to see them staring dumbfounded at Liu Wentian, faces ashen, heads sweating profusely.
“You know me?” Liu Wentian frowned and scrutinized Zheng Kaiming and the other three, feeling as if he had seen them before but couldn’t recall where.
Upon hearing this, Yao Jianren sneered, “Bullshit! Zheng Big Brother and the others are geniuses of the Ancient Martial World, how could they know someone like you—”
“Shut the fuck up, if you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!”
The roar that followed made Yao Jianren jump in fright. He saw Zheng Kaiming glaring at him as if he would kill him if he continued talking.
Yao Jianren was stunned. Then, he felt a sinking feeling in his heart, a premonition of dread.
The other onlookers were left confused by the intense reaction of Zheng Kaiming and his friends.
Zheng Kaiming, with a nearly tearful expression, turned to Liu Wentian and said, “Liu Wentian, I saw you at the Ancient Martial Arts Conference, we… we’ve fought before!”
With that, Liu Wentian remembered—these four were among the twenty-some young men looking for trouble with him at the Martial Path Conference.
Liu Wentian said coldly, “So you’re the ‘friends’ this guy mentioned? Very good, truly very good. I didn’t strike you dead yesterday, and today you came looking for trouble again!”
Hearing this, Zheng Kaiming and the others turned pale, their legs going weak, nearly collapsing on the spot, nearly crying out of fear!
The four cursed Yao Jianren’s ancestors for eighteen generations in their hearts. To think that Qin Qihuang was actually the woman of this fiend! If only they had understood earlier, they would have rather spent the night relying on prostitutes than attending this damn banquet!
This man was someone who killed a King Martial expert, someone who stepped on an elder of the Xiang Family—this was madness!
At this point, Yao Jianren was utterly dumbfounded. What was going on? Zheng Kaiming and the other young elites of the Ancient Martial World were turning pale from a single sentence from the other party!
And from the conversation earlier, it seemed like these four had been taught a lesson by this young man yesterday? Was this young man truly an Ancient Martial Artist, and even stronger than Zheng Kaiming and his friends?
Though Yao Jianren was profligate and lecherous, he was not a fool. In an instant, he realized he had kicked an iron plate, his face alternating between green and purple, looking very ugly.
Even though Qin Qihuang felt she had support now that Liu Wentian had come, she didn’t actually believe he could help her out of this trouble. After all, neither Yao Jianren nor his friends were people that just anyone could offend!
Now, seeing this turn of events, she too was stunned.
“Tell me, what exactly happened?” Liu Wentian demanded coldly, staring at Zheng Kaiming.
With Liu Wentian’s icy gaze sending shivers down his spine, Zheng Kaiming didn’t dare to lie and spilled the whole story word for word. After he finished and saw Liu Wentian’s cold and somber demeanor, he said fearfully,
“Liu Wentian, I… We really didn’t know that Miss Qin was your woman. If we had, we definitely wouldn’t have dared to provoke her.”
As he spoke, he was secretly relieved that he and his friends hadn’t taken action earlier. Otherwise, with that man’s ruthless methods, they would have truly been doomed!
“Don’t give me that crap. Now, immediately apologize to Miss Qin. If she doesn’t forgive you, I will cripple your Cultivation,” Liu Wentian said coldly.
“Ah??”
At this, Zheng Kaiming and the others truly fell to the ground in fear, their eyes filled with terror. They had no doubt that Liu Wentian could do as he said; after all, this was someone bold enough to kill a King Martial expert and offend the Xiang Family!
And if their Cultivation was crippled, their lives would be over!
Without bothering to stand up, they knelt directly in front of Qin Qihuang.
