Was I hit?
Fan Ling's older cousin was very shocked.
In Beihai City, who dared to hit Fan Ling?
"Who did it? Your brother-in-law will stand up for you," the young man said angrily.
"It's someone named Qin Hanchu. He's the disciple of the divine doctor Hu Qingshan."
"Cousin, you should know that Grandpa previously betrothed me to him!"
"He's here to break off the engagement this time. As the eldest daughter of the Fan family, how can I be abandoned?"
Qin Hanchu...
Hu Qingshan's disciple!
Before Fan Ling could finish speaking, her brother-in-law's eyes widened in shock. "You're really Hu Qingshan's disciple? Named Qin Hanchu?"
"What's wrong? Do you know him?" Old Man Fan asked.
Fan Ling's brother-in-law said tremblingly, "Grandpa, do you know who this Qin Hanchu is?"
"Isn't he Hu Qingshan's disciple?" Old Man Fan had a bad feeling.
Fan Ling's brother-in-law was a direct descendant of a martial arts family in Jiangdong. For him to be so shocked, did Qin Hanchu have an unusual identity?
"He is the Marquis Champion!" Fan Ling's brother-in-law said.
What!
Marquis Champion!
The name Marquis Champion had long been famous throughout the Great Yan Kingdom.
Everyone knew how terrifying the identity of the Marquis Champion was.
As a Grandmaster at twenty-one, Qin Hanchu would definitely be enfeoffed as a King in the future.
Old Man Fan was dumbfounded. He never imagined that Qin Hanchu was the legendary Marquis Champion.
What had their Fan family missed?
If Fan Ling married Qin Hanchu, the Fan family would definitely become the strongest family in Nanning Prefecture.
But now?
Not only did Qin Hanchu break off the engagement, but Fan Ling had provoked him.
Just a moment ago, he had even called to hold Qin Hanchu accountable!
Fan Ling was also stunned. She was actually engaged to the Marquis Champion?
As long as she married Qin Hanchu, she would immediately become a Marquis's wife.
In the future, she might even become a Prince's wife.
But now...
No wonder Qin Hanchu didn't take the Fan family seriously.
In front of the Marquis Champion, what was the Fan family?
"Can you be sure?" Old Man Fan asked, trembling.
"A while ago, the Marquis Champion led people to besiege the Huangfu family in Modu. All the overlord-level forces in Jiangdong were present at the time."
"The Huangfu family's Maritime Patriarch was a mid-stage Grandmaster. But in front of the Marquis Champion, he was forced to bow his head."
"To appease the Marquis Champion's anger, he even personally ordered the direct descendants who insulted the Marquis Champion to be crippled!"
"You certainly don't know how terrifying the Marquis Champion is."
"The Jin family of Jinling, the Shen family of Bajian Prefecture, and the Situ family of Hangcheng all followed his lead."
"And the most important point, I cannot say."
"This matter has already been subject to a gag order by the royal family. If I speak of it, our family might be wiped out."
Fan Ling's brother-in-law's words were like heavy hammers smashing into the hearts of Fan Ling and Old Man Fan.
"Quick, let's go apologize quickly," Old Man Fan said, trembling with fear. If Qin Hanchu got angry, the Fan family would be finished.
No wonder Suan Mei was so confident, saying that her master, the Fan family, was not to be trifled with.
Forty minutes later, Old Man Fan and the others arrived at Wanghai Villa.
Suan Mei had already notified the security guards, so Old Man Fan and the others had unobstructed access to Qin Hanchu's residence.
Before they could even knock, Suan Mei opened the door.
After opening the door, Suan Mei turned and walked into the living room.
Old Man Fan and the other three didn't even have a chance to speak.
Entering the living room, they saw Qin Hanchu sipping tea.
"Old Man Fan, are you here to demand an explanation?" Qin Hanchu asked with a smile.
*Thump!*
Old Man Fan and the other three suddenly knelt down.
This scene made Qin Hanchu pause.
What was going on?
Weren't they here to stand up for Fan Ling?
Why did they kneel?
"This old man did not know you were the Marquis Champion. I beg your pardon, Your Lordship." With that, Old Man Fan kowtowed.
"It was my fault before. I beg Your Lordship not to hold it against me." The previously arrogant Fan Ling also lost her temper and kowtowed.
"How did you know my identity?" Qin Hanchu frowned. Logically, no one here should know his identity.
"Yes, I told them." Fan Ling's brother-in-law said fearfully.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Qin Hanchu ask him, Fan Ling's brother-in-law quickly said, "I am from the Liu family of Sucheng. I once witnessed Your Lordship's demeanor in Modu."
Qin Hanchu finally understood. It turned out that the Fan family was also allied with influential families in Jiangdong.
"Today was just a lesson for you."
"There are many powers stronger than the Fan family. Be more low-key in the future."
Qin Hanchu said.
"I will definitely change. I beg Your Lordship to give me a chance." Fan Ling said.
"Change yourself. You don't need me to give you a chance," Qin Hanchu said.
Fan Ling said shyly, "It's not that. It's that I beg Your Lordship to take back the engagement letter and give me another chance to be your wife."
"That's not necessary. You're already out of the running."
"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back."
"By the way, do not mention anything about my affairs in Beihai City to anyone."
Qin Hanchu didn't want the Fifth Princess to know his whereabouts, so his actions in Beihai City had to be kept secret.
Fan Ling wanted to try to plead her case, but Old Man Fan stopped her.
With Fan Ling looking like a swollen pig's head, how could she plead her case?
As long as Qin Hanchu was still in Beihai City, Fan Ling would have a chance.
The most important thing now was to regain her beauty.
"If there's anything the Fan family can help with, please don't hesitate to ask," Old Man Fan said.
Qin Hanchu just grunted and said nothing more.
After getting into the car, Fan Ling said anxiously, "Grandpa, why did you stop me? I could have tried to persuade him further."
"Look at your current appearance. What man would be moved?" Old Man Fan said sternly. "Go back and recuperate quickly. As long as His Lordship hasn't left, you still have a chance."
"Cousin, with your looks, you can definitely conquer the Marquis Champion," Fan Ling said.
Fan Ling's brother-in-law sighed, "Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. The Marquis Champion is surrounded by beautiful women. There are also rumors that Princess Wu is quite fond of Qin Hanchu."
"What? The Fifth Princess likes him too?" Fan Ling was very shocked. With her background, how could she compare to a princess?
"It depends on your methods. As long as you use the right methods, you'll be able to get him," Old Man Fan said.
Hearing this, Fan Ling nodded. "Mm."
Due to the Fan family's status in Beihai City, Fan Ling had been arrogant since childhood.
She had never looked down on any man in Beihai City.
Since learning about the Marquis Champion, Fan Ling had told herself that she must find a man like Qin Hanchu, a dragon among men, as her husband.
She never expected that she would actually be engaged to the Marquis Champion.
If she had known earlier, she would have behaved well and left a good impression on Qin Hanchu.
In the villa, Suan Mei smiled and said, "Fan Ling must be regretting it to death now."
"Not necessarily," Qin Hanchu smiled. "Let's go back to my room to cultivate. Tomorrow, I'll go buy the Jade Marrow Ganoderma."
Jade Marrow Ganoderma was a very rare medicinal herb.
This herb had very miraculous effects on martial artists.
Even Qin Hanchu, who was at the late stage of Grandmaster, could use it to enhance his strength.
