Ye Moran, the son of the Ye family's Sixth Elder, and the Sixth Elder himself were from Ye Nantian's lineage.
After the news of Ye Longlin's disappearance arrived, the entire capital erupted. No one had expected that Ye Longlin would disappear right after stepping into the Saint realm. This made many feel that the matter was not as simple as it seemed.
It was possible that many people were secretly fanning the flames.
Before Ye Longlin vanished, he had a deep enmity with the Ye family and the Wu family, which led many to believe that these two families might have secretly played a part.
However, many also felt it was impossible, as, in the end, matters of the battlefield were not decided by families.
If it were in the past, it might have been possible, but in this new era, it was impossible no matter what.
Therefore, after this incident, Ye Nantian ordered people to capture Mu Hanqi, but he also gave a death order: Mu Hanqi must not be harmed.
They all believed that Ye Longlin was not dead. If he was not dead, he would surely return one day. If Mu Hanqi was in their hands, they could maintain the initiative when Ye Longlin returned.
Not to mention, Mu Hanqi had a child in her womb.
Of course, very few people knew about Mu Hanqi's pregnancy. Those in the capital who knew would not leak the information.
"Alright then, come find us after you're done. We'll wait for you in the city."
The group of hangers-on then drove towards the city, leaving Ye Moran and the Ye family members behind.
These Ye family members had to obey his orders. Even if they wanted to mess around, they had to resolve matters here first.
This was the family head's order.
If he failed to complete it, he would likely be punished.
"What kind of magic does this woman have?"
Never mind, if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. He wasn't trying to understand this issue either. The main reason he came was that he was close to this place; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered.
Upon entering the small town and finding Mu Hanqi's location according to the address, he saw two figures ahead.
A woman in her forties was organizing things inside the shop, and another woman sat at the counter, her brows laced with sadness.
"Who is Mu Hanqi?"
Ye Moran strode in, glanced at the two, and asked arrogantly.
Qin Shimeng: "???"
Causing trouble?
He still dared to cause trouble here?
Did he not want to live anymore?
"Is there something you need?"
Mu Hanqi stood up, unconsciously placing a hand on her bulging belly, and frowned.
"Are you coming with me willingly, or will I have to make you?"
Ye Moran put his hands in his pockets, his tone indifferent, his eyes fixed on Mu Hanqi. He had to admit, this woman was indeed beautiful. The only pity was that the family head had ordered that she must not be harmed.
Otherwise, he would definitely want to taste this woman before him.
"What do you mean?"
Mu Hanqi frowned. She hadn't even recovered from her grief yet, and someone was already causing trouble here?
"I am the son of the Ye family's Sixth Elder, ordered to capture you and bring you back to the capital!"
Ye Moran sneered, then took a step back, lowered his head, lit a Blue Ring cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke, and continued to sneer: "Attack."
The group behind him immediately swarmed forward, surrounding the entire counter in an instant.
Qin Shimeng, who was arranging shelves, raised an eyebrow at this scene, still holding a magic wand for children.
"Do you think you're not taking me seriously?"
Qin Shimeng's tone was calm as she walked over with the magic wand.
Ye Moran turned and immediately let out a mocking laugh: "Where did this old woman come from? Get out of the way. I don't have time to waste with you. I have other matters to attend to after capturing her."
Ye Moran completely disregarded her. In his eyes, an old woman was nothing to be trifled with, so he naturally didn't take her seriously. However, it was this action that made him deeply regret it.
Qin Shimeng chuckled lightly, and elegantly pointed the magic wand in her hand at the person next to her. In the next moment, that person fell to the ground, as if struck by lightning.
"Bang!"
This action drew everyone's attention!
"Dead... dead..."
These two words startled Ye Moran. His eyes widened, and he stared intently at Qin Shimeng: "You old hag dared to kill someone from my Ye family? Are you seeking death?"
"My Ye family's patriarch personally ordered her capture, it's her honor. She should be grateful!"
"Ordinary people never get this chance in their lifetime; it's like her ancestors' graves have sprouted smoke to encounter such a thing. You, you dead old woman, dared to kill my Ye family's people. If you want to die, I'll send you to hell! Go on, kill this ignorant old woman!"
Women, no matter when, are very sensitive about being called old.
Therefore, Qin Shimeng was furious. When she got angry, she was very terrifying!
One hand slowly extended, fingers forming a claw. Instantly, a strong wave of martial energy surged. Claw marks condensed from martial energy appeared above everyone's heads and descended with a roar!
"Bang bang bang!"
The Ye family members present all fell to the ground, having lost their lives.
In just one move, all the Ye family members died!
This scene deeply shocked Ye Moran. His eyes widened, looking at the scene before him with disbelief, and he swallowed hard.
A sense of fear washed over him. He suddenly felt that his day was probably over.
But his father had said there shouldn't be any danger. Now he was about to perish!
"Get lost! Remember this, this place is now a forbidden zone for your Ye family!"
Qin Shimeng wiped her hands and warned them in a casual tone.
If she hadn't been afraid of frightening Mu Hanqi, none of them would have survived today. Ye Moran would likely not have been able to escape.
According to her temperament, this matter would not be easily dismissed.
"Go back and tell the Ye family that the battle between my Qin family and the Ye family has begun!"
After saying this, Ye Moran fled in a hurry. The soldiers from the Dragon Pavilion entered the store to clean up the bodies.
"It's alright now. With me here, no one can harm you."
Qin Shimeng's lips curved into a smile as she gently rubbed Mu Hanqi's head, her tone very gentle. After all, she had always wanted a child, and had remained chaste for so many years, not even experiencing the joys of being a woman.
Let alone a child.
Now that Mu Hanqi was pregnant, she regarded Mu Hanqi as her own child and naturally doted on her.
The child in her womb was also like her grandchild. Anyone who dared to cause trouble here would die.
No matter who it was!
"Thank you, Aunt Qin."
"Silly child, why are you being so polite with me? We'll just wait here for that brat to return."
