Who could have imagined that a marriage proposal would give rise to such a disaster?
It was truly a calamity from the heavens.
In his heart, he held some resentment towards Qin Niu, whose actions were too impulsive and inconsiderate of the consequences.
With his strength, there was no need to sever someone’s arm!
Even just injuring the person would have been easier to deal with.
He even felt that Qin Niu, in order to show off in front of his sister, deliberately acted so high-profiledly.
Tang Caixian was dragged away forcefully by her brother.
“Young Master Qin, take care! We will surely find a way to help you,” she promised Qin Niu before leaving.
The so-called finding a way meant seeking help from Tang Yan, a high-ranking official from the Tang Family.
However, they did not know that Tang Yan’s status was not much different from Qin Niu’s.
Wang Haikun knelt at the entrance of the courtyard, head down, teeth clenched. The pain from his arm was tormenting him continuously.
His fearsome, ugly face occasionally twisted in agony.
As the news spread, villagers ran over to watch the spectacle. Nobody dared to approach; they just watched from a distance.
Wang Furen was the slickest, keeping his door tightly closed, pretending to know nothing.
Getting involved in this matter could only bring bad luck.
Avoiding it was the wise choice.
Wang Wanyan, since receiving the Tempering Elixir bought for her by Qin Niu, had been cultivating in her boudoir.
With the fifteenth quickly approaching, she wanted to seize the time to break through her cultivation.
The villagers, upon seeing the local bully Wang Haikun’s arm severed by Qin Niu, all secretly applauded.
At the same time, they were also worried about Qin Niu’s situation.
Because everyone had heard that Wang Haikun’s elder brother was returning today.
At this time, Qin Niu would ordinarily go to the mountains to cultivate Termites, and then practice under the Ancient Banyan Tree. Worried about leaving Xiao Qing alone at home and her safety, he could only wait.
If Wang Haikun’s elder brother wasn’t a coward, surely there would be some action upon hearing the news.
Time passed by slowly, and still, there was no sign of Wang Haikun’s elder brother.
This caused Qin Niu to grow somewhat restless.
Could it be that Wang Haikun’s elder brother truly did not care about his brother’s life and death?
Almost two hours passed, and then there came the sound of a furiously galloping horse pounding the ground outside the house.
The sound of horseshoes stopped outside the courtyard.
The horse’s heavy breathing could be faintly heard.
It seemed that it had been running for quite some distance.
From Wang Haikun’s elder brother’s house to here was only about two hundred meters; the horse shouldn’t have been so exhausted.
Could it be that, after receiving the news, Wang Haikun’s elder brother went to gather reinforcements?
It seems that this brother had far more strategies than his brother.
Seeing Wang Haikun’s elder brother arriving with overwhelming momentum, the villagers were so frightened they retreated even further.
This time, Qin Niu seemed to have no escape from fate, surely doomed.
“Brother, save me, save me! Wah… My arm was chopped off by Qin Niu, and he made me kneel outside. He clearly doesn’t regard you at all…”
Wang Haikun’s wailing immediately followed.
“Shut up, and kneel there!”
A powerful voice roared, and sure enough, Wang Haikun fell silent.
He seemed very afraid of his elder brother.
Soon after, a voice as resounding as a large bell rang out from outside the courtyard.
“Wang Yue, a candidate for the Black Armored Army, has come to visit Master Qin. I wonder if the master is available to see me now?”
Wang Haikun’s elder brother was indeed Wang Yue.
The speed of this news was quite swift, as he apparently knew about Qin Niu becoming an Insect Master.
Recalling Wang Yue’s horse panting heavily upon stopping, Qin Niu silently speculated that upon hearing of his brother’s injury, Wang Yue might have gone back to the city first.
Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have learned of Qin Niu’s Insect Master identity so quickly.
The villagers watching the scene instantly exploded in confusion.
What on earth was going on?
Wang Yue was a candidate for the Black Armored Army, a terrifying presence. His brother had his arm chopped off by Qin Niu, yet here he was outside, respectfully addressing Qin Niu as Master Qin.
Everyone was collectively stupefied.
How could this be?
Could it be that Qin Niu had quietly obtained a status even more formidable than Wang Yue’s?
All of them secretly speculated, watching the developments ahead.
“My master is currently indisposed, please wait a moment!”
Xiao Qing came out to answer.
After the crowd heard this, they almost burst out laughing.
Wang Yue, in a low voice, humbly requesting an audience, had already shocked everyone.
But to everyone’s surprise, Ah Niu said he had to defecate and told Wang Yue to wait outside.
Not even inviting him inside, this was clearly a deliberate show of power against Wang Yue!
Yet Wang Yue had no temper at all, dutifully waiting outside the house.
Wang Haikun by now, no matter how foolish, knew something was amiss.
He shivered with pain, his complexion turning ashen.
Had his own brother lost his mind? Why was he being so polite to Qin Niu?
Being a reserve soldier in the Black Armored Army wasn’t something just anyone could achieve.
That status was already quite high.
As time trickled by, Wang Haikun, enduring unbearable pain, pleaded with his brother who was standing outside the courtyard gate.
“Brother, why are you afraid of him? Just get rid of him and that’s that…”
“Shut up! If you want to live, close your damn mouth, tuck in your tail, and keep your head down.”
Wang Yue’s face was iron blue.
This morning he had rushed home, only to be told by his younger brother that he’d been bullied by a youngster in the village and couldn’t show his face around the village anymore.
He took it for the truth and sent Wang Haikun to convey a message, to call that young man over.
Little did he expect that Wang Haikun, always stirring up trouble, was inadequate in everything but causing failures.
Seeing Tang Caixian blossom into a charming beauty, he was moved by lust, and then had his hand amputated by Qin Niu.
There might have still been room for maneuvering before, but now that the situation had escalated, one side had to bow down.
After learning about Qin Niu’s identity, Wang Yue broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew his brother had offended someone he shouldn’t have.
After a full half hour, Xiao Qing came out of the house again.
“My master invites Mr. Wang inside!”
She opened the courtyard door.
Though it was just a simple wicker gate, Wang Yue didn’t dare overstep the slightest bit because Qin Niu now held the title of Insect Master.
The home of an Insect Master—who would dare to enter without permission?
Break in?
Wang Haikun served as a bloody lesson.
Wang Yue walked into the courtyard with the gifts in hand, thinking to himself how incredibly poor it was inside, utterly dilapidated.
Yet he dared not act with any audacity.
In the rundown main hall, Qin Niu sat there, his face indifferent.
He did not show the slightest intention of rising to greet him.
This was a stance.
To let Wang Yue realize who was superior and who was inferior.
“Wang Yue pays respect to A/laster Qin! Congratulations to Master Qin on becoming the second Insect Master to emerge from Shuangfeng Village.”
“Uncle Wang Yue is too courteous! Please sit!”
Qin Niu, seeing the other party soften, also called him Uncle Wang Yue.
As a child, Wang Yue had extraordinary martial cultivation talent and had achieved the Twofold level as a common person rather early.
But his ambitions were great; he was unwilling to be employed as a Protector by the Yan Family and instead went to the city to strive for success.
After so many years of effort, he had become a substitute soldier in the Black Armored Army, which was no small feat.
As far as Qin Niu knew, to be part of the Black Armored Army, one must possess at least a Tenfold cultivation level as a common person. To be a substitute, one needed at least an Eightfold level, and even then, some connections or background were required.
For someone like Wang Yue with no connections or background, and without the support of a powerful family, it was estimated that a Ninefold common person level was necessary to squeeze in.
Wang Yue didn’t immediately take a seat, instead presenting the hefty gift he was carrying.
“I have been serving in the army for these past years, and nearly all the silver coins I earned went into my personal cultivation and bribing my superiors, leaving little to spare. This is a piece of soft armor 1 acquired on the battlefield. While it is not top-grade, it does represent my sincere regard for Master Qin. My younger brother Haikun is ignorant and has offended Master Qin greatly; 1 stand in for him to offer an apology. 1 beseech Master Qin to be magnanimous and forgive him this once.
In the future, I will surely strictly discipline him and ensure he doesn’t cause any more mischief in the village.”
Wang Yue bowed, extending a flat package wrapped in red cloth with both hands.
Qin Niu did not rush to accept the gift.
Instead, he spoke indifferently, “I severed your brother’s right arm, creating a deep-seated grudge. Haven’t you and your brother thought of taking revenge on me?”
His gaze was fixed firmly on Wang Yue.
At this moment, if Wang Yue responded incorrectly, Qin Niu would certainly eliminate the root of the problem in the future.
Cold sweat beaded on Wang Yue’s forehead.
Under the gaze of a young man, he felt a pressure as formidable as a mountain.
“Everything is due to my brother’s own fault; we wouldn’t dare to harbor the slightest resentment against Master Qin. If in the future any members of the Wang Family attempt any act of revenge, may the heavens strike us with lightning, and may we die a horrible death.”
Wang Yue was a ruthless man himself, swearing an oath whilst pointing to the heavens, to show his sincerity..
