The jade pendant in his hand was crescent-shaped, and as Qin Niu stared intently at it, he felt as if there were specks of green luminescence twinkling and moving inside. Just like the stars in the sky, they would appear and disappear intermittently.

This Miss Tang, driven by love, was truly frightening.

To give away such a valuable item just like that.

And she had forcefully thrust it into Qin Niu’s hands.

Emerging from the back courtyard, he prepared to see off the Tang siblings. After all, both deserved respect and courtesy.

“Qin Niu, get the hell out here!”

Rude cursing came from outside the house.

Qin Niu was slightly startled. Wang Haikun, that scoundrel, had been taught a lesson by him last time and had been quiet for just a couple of days. How had he become so bold again so soon?

Given the confidence in that voice, it seemed he had brought back his brother from the city.

Or perhaps he had already been to the city and talked with his brother, having someone backing him up to dare to act so brazenly now.

A cold smile formed in Qin Niu’s heart, thinking this man had committed so many evil deeds that it was likely heaven was about to claim him.

No one could stop it.

Right after he had been certified as an Insect Master, Wang Haikun came to his doorstep like a lamb to the slaughter.

It was only right to oblige such a vile creature.

He walked out from the back courtyard calmly, and upon reaching the front hall, he saw a towering figure blocking the entrance.

Auntie Hua and Sister He were trembling with fear, huddled together.

Tang Bin was protecting his delicate and pure sister behind him.

“Who is this young lady from each place? Quite the beauty, isn’t she!”

Wang Haikun eyed the charming Tang Caixian with evident lechery.

A degenerate like him couldn’t even dream of marrying such a pretty girl.

In Shuangfeng Village, aside from Wang Wanyan, there was no second girl as beautiful and lovely as Tang Caixian.

The making of a beauty wasn’t just about being born with a good look.

One needed to be nurtured with music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from a young age, raised in good living conditions, and to have proper family instruction and a great teacher for guidance. With the right guidance, girls like her could become even smarter, more decisive, more educated, fair-skinned and beautiful, with outstanding form and temperament.

The daughters of poor families couldn’t compare unless they were born incredibly beautiful.

Similarly attractive, a rich family’s daughter would grow up to be much more beautiful than the daughter of a poor family.

Consider that the daughters of the wealthy are fair-skinned and beautiful, learned and polite, with a superior temperament.

Whereas the daughters of the poor are gaunt with hunger, help out with farm work every day, resulting in sun-darkened skin, plus they don’t receive an education or proper guidance from a good teacher. They lack the presence and temperament and often have major character flaws.

For instance, being particularly stubborn, bitter and sarcastic in speech, lacking in proper behavior, and lacking the necessary wisdom, and so on.

This is why most beautiful girls from poor families end up serving as maids in affluent households.

The very few who manage to become concubines are considered extremely lucky.

Moreover, when real wealthy families seek wives, they consider matching social standings essential.

Even when taking a concubine, there are strict requirements for the woman’s qualities.

So, a beautiful girl like Tang Caixian, skilled in singing and dancing, learned and polite, is someone Wang Haikun couldn’t even dream of.

At this moment, Wang Haikun’s eyes, fixed on Tang Caixian hiding behind her brother, resembled a grotesque Wart Toad’s.

“I am Tang Wenhаn of Daoyuan Village’s eldest son, and this is my sister. It’s best if you behave yourself,” Tang Bin said to the approaching Wang Haikun, feeling a bit intimidated.

After all, he was also just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth.

Having married less than two years ago.

Facing a violent villain like Wang Haikun, it was natural for him to be afraid.

“Haha, I thought you were some big shot. Turns out you’re just the kids of that old man Tang Wenhаn. Even your old man should respectfully address me as ‘Lord Kun’ when he sees me, and what are you?”

Wang Haikun was adept at bullying the weak.

With a fierce glare in his eyes, his intimidating presence was overwhelming.

He extended his burly right hand and swatted, tossing Tang Bin aside with a single motion.

In brute strength, this evildoer was truly gifted.

What a pity he hadn’t chosen the right path and hadn’t devoted himself to cultivating any Cultivation Techniques. Otherwise, he surely would have achieved more than this.

He reached out to grab the frightened Tang Caixian.

Despite her young age, Tang Caixian showed remarkable bravery when confronted by such a villain.

“Dare to touch me and see!”

She exuded a spirit that seemed inviolable and unafraid of evil at this moment.

“Haha, I’ll touch if I want to, so what?”

Wang Haikun was exceptionally brazen today, reaching out to her cheek.

But in a flash, a piercing blade light swept across, laced with a faint Blade Qi.

With just one stroke, Wang Haikun’s right arm had already fallen to the ground, and blood gushed from the severed limb.

“Try touching again!”

Qin Niu appeared beside Tang Caixian, protecting her behind him.

The Treasured Sword in his hand was stained with Wang Haikun’s blood.

The severed arm on the ground was still twitching.

Wang Haikun didn’t feel much pain, for the speed was too fast and the blade exceedingly sharp.

“Ah…”

A few breaths later, he finally realized what had happened and clutched his severed arm, screeching in pain.

“Qin Niu, you, you dare to use a blade against me? Just you wait!”

Wang Haikun looked at Qin Niu with eyes filled with fear; he had not expected Qin Niu to be ten times, no, a hundred times stronger than he had imagined.

And also hiding such a sharp sword.

“Stop right there!”

Qin Niu’s voice was not loud, but it carried a terror and authority that made Wang Haikun’s heart tremble.

“Did I say you could leave?”

If it weren’t for Qin Niu still being a low-level Insect Master, he would have cut Wang Haikun down directly.

Wang Haikun’s body seemed cursed, truly fixed in place, daring not to move an inch. Blood still dripped continuously from his tightly clutched, severed arm.

“What more do you want?”

Wang Haikun, realizing his miscalculation, was filled with deep resentment, yet he dared not confront Qin Niu directly again.

He was very clear that if Qin Niu dared to sever his right arm, then he could also sever his left arm or even his head.

Faced with the fear of death, he couldn’t help but be afraid.

“You barged into my home, offended my guests, and disrespected me; these are all crimes. Now, go kneel outside in the courtyard. If I don’t tell you to get up, then kneel until death. If you dare disobey, you’ll definitely lose your legs.”

Last time, Qin Niu used Wang Haikun to establish his authority, but it didn’t seem to be very effective.

That was then, this is now.

Now that he had the status of an Insect Master, he could act with a bit more audacity.

For a mere commoner to be jumping around and showing off in the home of an Insect Master, how could Qin Niu let him off without punishment? Would that not disgrace the Insect Master Association?

With the backing of the Insect Master Association behind him, he now was fearless of Wang Haikun’s brother, who worked in the government offices.

“My brother has already returned. If you dare do this to me, you’ll face consequences you cannot bear.”

Wang Haikun, knowing he was no match for Qin Niu in combat, could only threaten him with his brother’s authority.

However, he did not know that Qin Niu, though young, conducted himself with strategies as deep as an old fox’s.

If he wasn’t confident he could handle his brother, he wouldn’t have dared to strike with his sword.

“Are you done talking? Once you are, go kneel outside immediately, or I’ll make sure you can never stand again.”

Qin Niu, holding the sharp weapon, was filled with killing intent.

Wang Haikun was so frightened that he shuddered inwardly, quickly enduring the pain and fleeing outside to the courtyard.

But to actually kneel down was somewhat too much for his pride to bear.

“Not kneeling?”

A lift of Qin Niu’s eyebrow sent a shiver down Wang Haikun’s soul, and he immediately knelt down on the spot.

This man was very afraid of dying. Seeing that he couldn’t escape for now, he undid his belt with one hand, clenched his teeth, and used both teeth and hand to firmly wrap up his severed arm.

Otherwise, with so much blood loss, he was likely to die.

The moment he knelt, the frightening aura established was also declared over.

“Young Master Tang, Miss Tang, Sister He, Aunt Hua, I’m really sorry for what just happened. I failed to protect all of you, causing you to be frightened,” Qin Niu apologized to the four.

They looked at Qin Niu, who seemed unaffected by severing Wang Haikun’s arm, as if they were seeing him for the first time.

“I never expected Young Master Qin to have such strong martial skills,” Tang Caixian said, looking at him with even more admiration in her eyes.

That’s it, her infatuation probably just intensified.

“Ah Niu, hurry up and pack your clothes to flee to the mountains! Do you realize the trouble you’re in? Wang Haikun’s brother works for the government and has returned to the village today. If he finds out what you did to his brother, he will surely not let you off,” Aunt Hua warned.

Being from the village herself, Aunt Hua knew the gravity of the situation.

After speaking, she left in a hurry.

Sister He was also quick-witted; hearing this, she immediately made a run for it.

Before leaving, she did not forget to call out to the Tang siblings brought over by her.

“Tang Bin, take your sister and hurry back to the village,” she said.

Since she brought them here, if something happened, Tang Wenhаn would surely hold her accountable.

“Brother, our family and Tang Fang’s brother are cousins. Now that Qin Niu is in trouble, we can’t just ignore it. He was only trying to save me when he injured that tyrant. Maybe we should hurry and find him for help,” Tang Caixian suggested.

Her eyes and heart full of Qin Niu, she was only thinking about how to help him get out of this predicament.

She definitely did not want to see her beloved harmed.

“Tang Yan’s position as an official is not insignificant, but it’s uncertain whether he can handle this matter,” Tang Bin said, frowning deeply. Being two years older than his sister, he was more aware of the hardships and dangers of the world.

Which official wasn’t cunning?

Even if Tang Bin himself were in trouble, it wasn’t certain they would help.

Now asking Tang Yan to offend another government official to save an unrelated person was mostly improbable.

“Qin Niu, no matter what, you were trying to help my sister when you injured that tyrant. We will definitely try our best to think of a solution, but you should still go hide in the mountains for now, and come out once this has blown over,” Tang Bin said, his speech much smoother than his sister’s.

He did not promise to definitely get Qin Niu out of this, using the word “try” instead.

At the same time, he did not want Qin Niu to be taken away by the government, so he advised him to hide in the mountains.

Because Tang Bin knew his sister’s character very well; if Qin Niu were caught by the government, with her personality, she would most likely spend all their family’s wealth to save him. That would be very troublesome.

“Hmm, thank you for your kindness. You should hurry along now!” Qin Niu nodded.

“Miss Tang, I should return this item to you…”

“What do you take me for? Please do not underestimate Cai Xian,” Tang Caixian quickly cut him off, refusing without waiting for him to finish.

“Little sister, let’s go,” Tang Bin urged.

Not knowing what item his sister had given to Qin Niu, he simply wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
