C15 Chasing and Killing

"Qin Feng, have you lost your mind? This is Xueru's kindness, and you're just going to reject it?"

Qin Shan couldn't contain his rage, his expression twisted in frenzy.

Lin Xueru, sharp as ever, immediately understood the reason for Qin Feng's rejection and silently kicked herself for not realizing sooner.

It was clear Qin Feng wasn't favored. She wished she had given him the Gui Yuan Pills back at the pavilion.

"If you ever need help, just come to the Canghai Sect!"

Lin Xueru secured the pill and spoke to Qin Feng, her tone carrying a hint of concern.

Damn it!

Qin Shan clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, his eyes seething with the urge to devour Qin Feng alive.

Qin Feng had just ruined his opportunity!

Qin Yunhai's expression was equally dark.

If not for Lin Xueru's presence, he would have severely chastised Qin Feng.

"I'm heading out."

Qin Feng gave Qin Yunhai and his son a cold look, then strode out of the hall.

"Liu Xuanqing, I'll be absent from the Qin family for about two months. Make sure Ling Er is safe, and tell anyone who asks that she's gone to visit relatives back home."

Once in his cabin, Qin Feng called for Liu Xuanqing and gave him his orders.

"What happened?"

Liu Xuanqing's eyes flickered, pretending to be clueless. Although he wasn't allowed in the sitting room, he could guess what had transpired.

"Liu Xuanqing, I am destined for an extraordinary future. If you play your cards right, your prospects will be very bright!"

Qin Feng said slowly.

Liu Xuanqing's heart skipped a beat as he quickly weighed his options, making his choice.

"You can count on me. I'll protect Ling Er with my life and fulfill your expectations."

Qin Feng nodded and swiftly left the Qin estate.

He moved with incredible speed, darting through the forest like a bolt of lightning.

He had to escape the Qin family as quickly as possible!

The hatred Qin Yunhai and Qin Shan harbored for him was intense; they would certainly not hesitate to harm him.

As a Pill Refiner, he knew the value of the Gui Yuan Pills all too well.

Having flatly turned down twenty Gui Yuan Pills, Qin Yunhai would undoubtedly not let this pass.

As soon as Lin Xueru had left the Qin residence, my worst fears were confirmed: Qin Yunhai didn't hesitate to dispatch his men to track down Qin Feng.

And just as expected, shortly after Qin Feng had left, Qin Shan, his expression thunderous and dark, led a group of ten men to Qin Feng's ramshackle hut with murderous intent.

"He's escaped!"

Qin Shan's face contorted into a monstrous grimace as he roared furiously, staring at the deserted shack.

"He must have fled toward the back mountain. He won't have made it far! Find him—I want to torment him thoroughly!"

Qin Shan's fury boiled over as he thought of the twenty Gui Yuan Pills squandered. There was no way he would let Qin Feng off lightly.

"Yes, sir!"

His subordinates' voices rose in unison, their bodies shrouded in a mist of zhenqi.

Among them, nine were seasoned Body Tempering level 6 practitioners, and one even more formidable at level 7.

These were Qin Shan's reliable enforcers, handpicked by Qin Yunhai to aid Qin Shan in his mission.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng raced through the forest, his body shooting forward like an arrow. Those paying close attention would notice his figure flickering and becoming more indistinct, as if he were a spectral entity, elusive and mysterious.

Phantom Steps!

This was the nimble movement skill Qin Feng had mastered.

After extensive practice, his movements were as quick as the wind and as elusive as a phantom, appearing and disappearing in the blink of an eye, confounding any who tried to follow.

"I need to be even faster. Qin Shan won't stop until he's captured me!"

Driven by this thought, Qin Feng accelerated his pace.

Behind him, the forest thundered with the sound of trees toppling under the powerful onslaught of the pursuers' zhenqi.
