Chapter 966: A Well-Intentioned Warning

“Interesting!”

The tone was smiling.

But the words carried an icy chill.

On the day Cangqiong opens.

In the presence of so many of my friends and relatives.

And you pull such a stunt?

Even though I had a hunch.

When the act of crashing the party came, Qin Fan still found it hard to control his sudden anger.

In the kitchen.

“What’s happening?”

Amid the sudden tremor, Jiang Yuan took off his chef’s apron and called out in shock, ready to rush outside.

“Mr. Jiang, stay calm! The people outside will handle it. Let’s focus on our work for now!”

With a formidable martial arts cultivation at the God Realm, Ru Yi, who was helping in the kitchen, chuckled calmly.

“Sir, you mean?” Jiang Yuan was taken aback.

“I mean, let’s just do our jobs! With Qin sir and the master here, even if the sky falls, it won’t be a problem! Going out would only add chaos. Trust me, let’s continue!”

Picking up the Spiritual Beast’s meat from the cutting board, Ru Yi sliced it expertly as he spoke.

“Well, I still think I should go out!” hesitating, Jiang Yuan shook his head but eventually stepped out of the kitchen.

Behind him, Ru Yi smiled silently in resignation.

“Xiao Fan, what’s going on here?”

In the restaurant lobby.

Qin Chu, Wei Shuying, and the old lady Jiang exclaimed in shock.

Immediately, everyone turned to look, tense.

However, Qin Fan simply smiled gently, unconvinced.

The anger and chill on his face dissipated.

“It’s all right, stay calm! Everyone just carry on, I’m going to take a look!” Qin Fan said.

“Young Qin, I’ll come with you!” Liu Dao interjected.

Without responding to Liu Dao’s offer to accompany him.

Qin Fan walked over to his parents, Yinuo, and the old lady Jiang to reassure them.

He declined their idea of going along to see what happened.

Then he walked out briskly.

Behind him, Liu Dao and the old man Kunlun followed with serious expressions.

Meanwhile.

Before they could step out.

The young lord leading the Northeast Prince and a group not affected by the shouting already had their convoy blocking the restaurant entrance.

They lined up, blocking the doorway.

“The Northeast Prince, by order of the young lord, is here to demand the person! Qin Fan, hand over the old man immediately!”

Before the young lord could speak.

The prince, backed by the Immortal young lord, shouted without reservation.

However, hearing the words “Northeast Prince,” the big figures inside the restaurant were all stunned!

Is this leftover branch of the Qing dynasty no longer struggling to survive?

“Go!”

Initially not intending to go out, Comrade Wang and the Forbidden City crew stiffened at the mention of the Northeast Prince.

Speaking up together solemnly.

The next second.

They hurriedly followed Qin Fan, brows furrowed.

This confrontation with Qin Fan on the restaurant’s opening day? What does this Northeast Prince rely on?

To think he doesn’t know what a name like Qin Fan represents?

Absolutely impossible!

But in such a context, to still be so arrogant, this really unsettled Wang Anshi and the others.

And who is this “young lord” he mentioned?

In heavy bewilderment, Wang Anshi and the others were full of questions.

As the prince’s shouting ended.

Qin Fan’s figure began to fill his vision.

Yet seeing that face, not unfamiliar in his mind, he was still seized by a trace of uncontainable fear.

People fear the influence of a name, more so when directly witnessing the face that leaves countless people secretly trembling!

“Y-young lord, that’s Qin Fan! The old man behind him is the one you’re seeking!”

The prior bravado quickly faded with Qin Fan’s appearance.

The prince stepped back two steps instinctively, speaking timidly near the young man.

“Are you nervous?” the young man asked, gazing faintly at the approaching Qin Fan.

“Young lord, I’m not!” the prince denied nervously.

“I said you’re nervous!” the young man repeated.

“Y-yes, a bit! This guy’s past deeds are truly monstrous!” the prince admitted, teeth chattering slightly under the young man’s repetition.

“Heh-“

Hearing the prince admit it.

The young man chuckled lightly.

He no longer spoke to him.

His sharp gaze carried disdainful contempt.

Fixated solely on Qin Fan walking out.

“Here’s a kindly reminder, I don’t want trouble today, scram!”

Facing the deep, sinister gaze of the young lord, Qin Fan spoke calmly.

His tone was light.

His manner unhurried.

If not for the imposing arrogance in his words, the gentle smile on Qin Fan’s face might come off as friendly banter between old friends.

The young lord gave a mocking smile at Qin Fan’s arrogantly dismissive speech, pouting slightly.

Pointing at the old man beside Qin Fan, he gazed directly at him, “If you don’t want trouble today, hand him over. That’s my friendly hint, oh—wrong, it’s a warning!”

“What if I say you can’t take him?” Qin Fan chuckled dismissively, shaking his head.

“What if I say I must take him?” With sparks in his eyes, the young lord sneered coldly.

The burst of this aura immediately sent a chill down Comrade Wang’s spine.

A baseless fear surged within him!

It seemed the Northeast Prince didn’t come on such a day without reason.

The young lord ahead posed a pressure that, besides Qin Fan, none in the mortal realm could impose on them.

“So you’re forcing my hand in a place and time I’d rather avoid trouble! Mark my words, a year from today—will be the anniversary of your demise!” Qin Fan said with an air of seriousness, smiling faintly.

“Preposterous! Qin Fan, do you realize whom you’re speaking to? Do you think conquering the Forbidden City and subjugating the Martial Arts World makes you the world’s top authority? Ignorant child, if you have any sense, hand over the old man now! Be warned, regret is not for sale in this world!”

The young lord hadn’t yet responded.

But the prince couldn’t help but muster the courage to shout angrily.

If not for the young lord’s presence, even a hundred guts wouldn’t grant the prince the boldness to spout such nonsense.

But now, supported by an Immortal, why should he care about a mere Qin Fan?

After the initial panic, gradually—he shook off the shadow in his heart.

In his imagined fantasy, he would ascend, stepping over Qin Fan!

Stepping over this young genius who could’ve easily been his son, yet single-handedly subjugated the Forbidden City and the entire Four-nine City!

This was the perfect stepping stone for the Qing dynasty to rise to prominence!

A stone to ascend in one leap!

“Whether I’m the world’s top doesn’t matter, dealing with you ants doesn’t require such a title. Who can tell me, who is he?”

With a teasing smile and a shake of his head, Qin Fan pointed at the prince, mockingly asking aloud.
