Rebirth of the Cultivation Devil-Chapter 1265 - 1190: The Humiliated Fang Family

"Shut up!"

Fang Le, the second elder of the Fang family and Fang Lun’s brother, slammed the table immediately and stood up to reprimand.

A group of young ones instantly fell silent, usually a bit afraid of Fang Le’s strictness. Seeing Fang Le’s anger, the juniors dared not speak further.

"Fang Lun, what’s going on here?" Zhang Beishan asked with a slight frown.

The Fang family was a scholarly family, but the behavior displayed by the juniors disappointed him somewhat, although he was still quite pleased with Fang Qingqing.

Among the shocked and angry young ones, only Fang Qingqing kept her eyes down without expressing any opinions, showcasing the demeanor of a refined young lady.

"Brother Beishan, I apologize. I need to handle this matter. I’ll catch up with you later," Fang Lun stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhang Beishan.

After speaking, he prepared to leave with the Fang family members.

"Wait a moment!"

A voice suddenly rang out, slightly cold and indifferent, startling everyone—it was Zhang Qixing, who had been silent and aloof earlier. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Upon hearing Zhang Qixing speak suddenly, Zhang Beishan’s expression changed slightly, instantly becoming stern as he stared at Zhang Qixing, seemingly warning him.

Fang Lun was worried about Shui Yiyi, fearing the security guards might hurt her, eager to check at the entrance. However, Zhang Qixing demanded attention, forcing Fang Lun to patiently stop and smile, asking, "Qixing, do you have anything to say?"

"I have only one thing to say. I came to the Fang family specifically to clarify this: this arranged marriage is the Zhang family’s idea, and it has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Qixing spoke with a touch of pride, without a pause.

The Fang family members were all stunned—what did this mean?

"Zhang Qixing, what do you mean?" Fang Lun’s expression sank slightly, and he repeatedly changed his address towards Zhang Qixing.

"Is my meaning not clear enough? Then I’ll say it again." Zhang Qixing’s face did not change at all, unmoved by the Fang family’s shock and anger, instead speaking one word at a time:

"I do not agree to this marriage!"

Boom!

Zhang Qixing’s words were like a thunderclap, instantly exploding among the Fang family. The marriage they eagerly anticipated, a union with the Zhang family, was unexpectedly rejected by Zhang Qixing at this critical moment.

Although the Fang family is not among the top families in Huaxia, it can’t compare to the Wu Family and Liu Family in Yanjing, nor the low-key Zhang Family, it doesn’t mean the Fang family lacks any heritage.

Such a noble family being publicly rejected by Zhang Qixing is truly a shame!

Downstairs, Fang Qingqing’s originally rosy cheeks turned pale instantly. It wasn’t that she was particularly fond of Zhang Qixing, but she admired him.

She had heard from her grandfather about the man’s excellence, and today, meeting him for the first time, he indeed was handsome and carried a commanding presence. Such a man, to Fang Qingqing, was the best choice.

Confident in her peerless beauty, she believed she was worthy of Zhang Qixing. Now publicly rejected by him, her heart was deeply humiliated.

Fang Lun’s eyes were also flickering with anger.

"Zhang Qixing, shut up!" Zhang Beishan slammed the table, reprimanding Zhang Qixing.

Although the Zhang family is powerful, they cannot humiliate the Fang family like this. Besides, Zhang Beishan had personal ties with Fang Lun.

"Second Grandpa, I naturally shut up after speaking. I have long said that I do not agree with this matter, it was you who insisted on doing it. I don’t mean to look down on the Fang family, but my marriage, Zhang Qixing’s marriage, will only be decided by me!"

Even in the face of Zhang Beishan, Zhang Qixing showed no hints of retreat, speaking with a touch of arrogance.

He was Zhang Qixing, the Zhang family’s most outstanding figure, a martial arts genius in the whole of Huaxia. Such a person has his own pursuits, impossible to be manipulated by the family.

Zhang Beishan’s face turned pale with rage, asking furiously: "Then why did you come with me to Jiangdong?"

"I heard an unrivaled genius appeared in Jiangdong, so I came specifically to challenge him. In addition, Wang Jinlun, famously regarded as Huaxia’s most outstanding disciple of the younger generation, I had long agreed to come to Jiangdong for a showdown with him!"

Zhang Qixing spoke proudly, his sights already set beyond mundane affairs, pursuing the grand path of martial artists.

Only geniuses like Wang Jinlun catch his attention and count as his true rivals.

"You, you!" Zhang Beishan’s face turned pale from rage, at a loss for words.

He turned to Fang Lun, hastily saying: "Fang Lun, I..."

"No need to say more, the Zhang family is a top-tier family in Huaxia, Zhang Qixing is an outstanding talent of the Zhang family, and it’s normal for them to look down on our Fang family. Such a heroic figure, it’s normal for our Fang family’s women not to match him!"

Fang Lun forcibly suppressed the anger in his eyes; despite Zhang Qixing’s offensiveness, he couldn’t get angry.

The Zhang family is not something the Fang family can afford to provoke; this humiliation, he can only swallow.

Yet, Fang Lun’s hand hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly, revealing his intense fury inside after all the humiliation by Zhang Qixing.

"I’ve said it, I don’t have the slightest intention of looking down on the Fang family, no need to impose that on me." Zhang Qixing’s demeanor was arrogant, glancing at the pale Fang Qingqing below. The woman was beautiful, but not the type Zhang Qixing liked.

"As for how you want to view it, it doesn’t matter to me. I will naturally compensate for the Fang family’s loss, even if I don’t end up with Fang Qingqing. I’ll personally go to Hundred Herbs Hall to request an Elixir, to make up for the Fang family’s loss."

Zhang Qixing’s demeanor was calm, having already thought things through. Although his actions brought humiliation to the Fang family, the Elixirs from Hundred Herbs Hall are incredibly precious and can compensate for the Fang family’s loss.

Fang Lun’s face immediately showed anger; although he craved an Elixir from Hundred Herbs Hall, as the ruler of the Fang family, he’s not a beggar on the street, how could he accept such charity from Zhang Qixing.

Just when he was about to speak, Zhang Qixing calmly shook his head, saying: "I know what you’re going to say, you needn’t rush to reject. I, Zhang Qixing, keep my word, you accepting it or not is your own business."

After finishing, Zhang Qixing did not hesitate, took his steps, his long blue tunic fluttering gracefully, disappearing in an instant from their sight.

"Fang Lun, this... " Zhang Beishan was at a loss for words.

"I have other things to attend to, I won’t accompany you further."

After speaking, Fang Lun also stepped out, too angry inside, without the mood to bother with Zhang Beishan.

Ye Bufan had long restrained the Fang family’s security guards, but this time he didn’t go too far, only beating them to ensure they wouldn’t dare charge again.

Ye Qingfeng slightly nodded, recognizing Ye Bufan’s restrained killing intent, maybe from being around Shui Yiyi for a long time, his murderous aura lessened, combined with Ye Qingfeng’s Spiritual Power’s suppression, Ye Bufan was impossible to generate the Bloodthirsty Pill.
