Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Stopped

Ah San stood cautiously before Xue Wei, his face expressionless.

He whispered, "Master, Ye Qingchen’s followers have arrived. If they seek the Family Head, I’m afraid..."

Xue Wei impatiently waved his hand, cutting off Ah San’s words.

A contemptuous smile appeared on his face, his eyes filled with disdain.

He lounged in his chair, arms crossed over his chest, and said with indifference, "Those few clowns can never stir up any trouble. Even if they do seek the Family Head, the Family Head won’t entertain them. Let them go, I’m curious to see what tricks they can pull."

Xue Wei’s tone was full of disdain, as though these people were insignificant.

He raised his head, eyes glinting coldly, as if he could already see their powerless state.

These people have really come at the wrong time.

The election for the Saint Position is about to begin.

Isn’t it just asking for trouble to come at this time?

How could the Family Head possibly pay them any attention?

"Ah San, don’t fret. Aren’t you familiar with our Xue Family’s rules? It’s absurd to think the Family Head would change decisions over outsiders!"

Xue Wei sneered disdainfully, continuing, "Even if they cause a ruckus, it’s just self-humiliation. Don’t forget, Ye Qingchen’s fate is the best example."

Xue Wei’s words were chilly; he entirely dismissed the potential of Ye Qingchen’s followers, considering them as mere insignificant ants.

Meanwhile, his eyes sparkled with satisfaction, as though he had foreseen their failure and despair.

Ah San heard Xue Wei’s words and responded respectfully, "Yes, Master, I understand."

Xue Wei nodded contentedly, a sense of victorious joy filling his heart.

He leaned back in the chair, basking in his smugness.

Everything is under his control!

On the other side.

Qin Chuan, Li Nian’er, and Xiao Xiao hurriedly arrived outside the Patriarch of the Xue Family office.

Outside the office, a solemn atmosphere pervaded the air, surrounded by tall stone pillars engraved with exquisite designs and runes, silently narrating the Xue Family’s long history.

The courtyard planted with various precious spirit plants, emitted a faint fragrance, adding a touch of elegance.

The bluestone slab path extended forward, flanked by meticulously trimmed shrubs and a babbling stream, creating a serene and stately setting.

As Qin Chuan and the others stepped onto the bluestone slab path, they saw several guards dressed in Xue Family attire standing firmly at the entrance.

They exuded a stern demeanor, holding long halberds, their gaze sharp, clearly wary of all outsiders.

One guard stepped forward, his long halberd blocking Qin Chuan and the others, and said coldly, "Stop! This is the Family Head’s office; unauthorized persons are not allowed inside."

Qin Chuan frowned, his tone carrying some displeasure and urgency, "We have an important matter to see the Patriarch of the Xue Family; please inform him."

The guard did not waver as Qin Chuan spoke, maintaining his hard attitude, "The Family Head is currently handling urgent affairs, no entry without appointments. Please leave."

Qin Chuan was a bit angered but knew forcing entry wouldn’t be smart.

He suppressed his dissatisfaction and tried to persuade the guard, "This matter is truly urgent; it concerns my disciple’s life and death, please accommodate."

The guard coldly glanced at them, unmoved, "Regardless of the matter, without the Family Head’s permission, no one is allowed entry."

Li Nian’er, seeing this, stepped forward too, with a hint of pleading in her tone, "We truly have urgent business of great importance, please be accommodating.

However, the guard still resolutely shook his head, "Rules are rules; please understand."

Xiao Xiao, seeing the guard’s firm stance, was anxious to tears but could do nothing.

Qin Chuan looked at the closed door and indifferent guards, filled with anger.

However, the guard still regarded him coldly, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Almost as if saying, you insignificant creatures expect to see our Family Head—keep dreaming.

Seeing the guard’s expression, Qin Chuan could no longer suppress his rage.

He stepped forward suddenly, grabbing the guard’s collar, his eyes burning with fury.

Qin Chuan clenched his teeth, his voice low and threatening, "For the last time, we must see the Patriarch of the Xue Family. You guards, don’t think I can’t deal with you!"

Startled by Qin Chuan’s sudden movement, the guard’s face turned pale, a flicker of panic in his eyes.

He struggled to maintain composure, but couldn’t hide his inner fear, his voice trembling, "You...you release me! This is Xue Family territory; dare to make trouble here, beware of punishment from our Family Head!"

Qin Chuan held tight to the guard’s collar, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, "Punishment? Then let your Family Head come and punish us personally! Now, report to him immediately!"

The guard felt the force on his collar, growing more terrified, voice trembling heavily, "You...you don’t act rashly; we are Xue Family guards; doing this, the Family Head won’t spare you!"

Seeing the guard’s panicked and helpless demeanor, Qin Chuan smirked coldly, "Since you won’t report, I’ll find the Family Head myself! Let’s see who dares stop me!"

Without further ado, Qin Chuan shoved the guard aside. The guard staggered back a few steps, almost falling.

He clutched his reddened neck, eyes full of fear and resentment but dared not speak again.

Mostly because Qin Chuan’s strength was overwhelming.

These guards weren’t his match.

Turning to Li Nian’er and Xiao Xiao, Qin Chuan said, "Let’s go inside ourselves!"

Li Nian’er and Xiao Xiao, seeing this, hurried to follow Qin Chuan’s lead.

However, they had just taken a few steps when a uniform parade of footsteps echoed around.

Suddenly, a group of Xue Family soldiers in silver armor emerged from all directions, moving in harmony, trained to precision, each wielding a longsword that gleamed coldly.

Quickly encircling Qin Chuan, Li Nian’er, and Xiao Xiao.

The soldiers’ armor shone coldly under the sun; they wore imposing masks, revealing only cold, merciless eyes.

Each soldier stood straight, eyes revealing unwavering determination.

The encircling gradually tightened; Qin Chuan and the others were forced back to the door, unable to move.

The Soldier Captain stood at the front, coldly surveying Qin Chuan and his companions.

His voice icy cold: "This is Xue Family’s restricted area; trespassers face severe punishment. Who are you to be so insolent here?"
