As for Lin Yiyi, he was utterly disappointed. The royal family? In Qin Feiyang's eyes, it was nothing but a joke. However, today, it seemed he was fated not to leave the Lin family easily!
His last words completely infuriated the Lin Family Head!
SLAP!
He slammed his palm on the armrest of his seat, shot up, and roared, "Lin Yong, stop him for me!"
CRACK!
The entire chair instantly shattered into pieces!
Lin Yong had long wanted to teach Qin Feiyang a lesson. Hearing this, without any hesitation, he took a step, directly blocking the doorway. Staring coldly at Qin Feiyang, he said, "If you want to leave, you can. But first, you must kneel and kowtow to apologize to Miss!"
"Kowtow and apologize?" Qin Feiyang stopped, turned to glance at Lin Yiyi, and said indifferently, "Is she worthy?"
"Such insolence!" A murderous glint flashed in Lin Yong's eyes.
With a palm strike, he lunged at Qin Feiyang!
True Qi surged from his palm!
He was actually a one-star Martial Master!
"HMPH!"
Qin Feiyang snorted. His feet moved in a bizarre pattern, and like a flash of lightning, he circled behind Lin Yong!
"Old Bastard, how dare you raise a hand to me?"
A cold light flashed in his eyes as he punched Lin Yong in the back.
BAM!
Lin Yong was sent flying on the spot, tumbling to land in front of the Lin Family Head, and sprayed a mouthful of blood.
"How can he be so fast?"
"In the blink of an eye, he actually got behind Lin Yong?"
Liu Yun, Yin Chuan, and the two young girls were utterly astounded.
Lin Baili said, "It's a Supplementary Martial Arts Technique!"
These so-called Supplementary Martial Arts Techniques were actually footwork techniques. They could dramatically increase a person's speed!
Supplementary Martial Arts Techniques were also divided into four levels: Lower Class, Middle Grade, Upper, and Perfect.
A Lower Class Supplementary Martial Arts Technique could double one's speed.
And so on.
The Supplementary Martial Arts Technique Qin Feiyang had just displayed was called Smoke Step.
It belonged to the category of Perfect techniques.
It could quintuple one's original speed!
"Supplementary Martial Arts Techniques are extremely rare. Even the Martial Palace doesn't have any. How could he possess one?"
"The Elixir Palace doesn't have any either. This is unbelievable!"
The Third Palace Master and the Martial Palace Master exchanged glances, realizing they had severely underestimated this young man.
"What a character, this Qin Feiyang. For five years, everyone has been deceived by him," the Zhao Family Head murmured, a strange light flickering in his old eyes.
A strong killing intent surged in the Lin Family Head's heart. The stronger the power Qin Feiyang displays, the greater the threat he poses to me! This boy must be nipped in the bud!
WHOOSH!
He suddenly leaped, True Qi covering his fist, and punched towards Qin Feiyang's head.
"Father, stop!"
At this moment, Lin Yiyi finally couldn't sit still. She stood up and shouted anxiously. But the Lin Family Head was so intent on killing, how could he possibly listen?
"Are you that eager to kill me?" Qin Feiyang sneered. Using Smoke Step, he easily dodged the attack.
"Tiger Roar Fist!"
Once the Lin Family Head landed, without uttering a word, he chased after Qin Feiyang, swinging his fist furiously!
"I didn't want to embarrass you in public, but you brought this upon yourself for not knowing your place! Charging Thunder Killing Fist!" Qin Feiyang's face instantly turned ice-cold. His momentum surged, wrapped in a violent torrent of air, as he fiercely threw a punch.
BAM!
Instantly, the Lin Family Head suffered the same fate as Lin Yong. He was sent flying backwards, smashing through tables and a tea table, before landing hard and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood!
"Father..." Lin Yiyi hurriedly rushed forward, her expression fraught with worry.
"How is this possible... I'm a Two-star Martial Master... Tiger Roar Fist is also a Middle Grade Martial Arts Technique, how could I be defeated by him..." the Lin Family Head muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief. Am I dreaming?
Seeing this, Lin Yiyi was heartbroken. She lifted her head, glared angrily at Qin Feiyang, and shouted, "He is my father, after all! How could you strike so heavily?"
"Still blaming me?" Qin Feiyang laughed, a sound devoid of humor.
"You need to be clear about who attacked first!"
"And who was it that first harbored killing intent?"
"Let me tell you, you are not qualified to criticize me!"
"If it weren't for your sake, your father and Lin Yong would already be in hell!"
"Understand?"
Qin Feiyang's gaze at that moment was piercingly cold; Lin Yiyi dared not meet his eyes.
"He's quite arrogant," Liu Yun frowned.
The Martial Palace Master said solemnly, "He's not arrogant; he has the real ability. Charging Thunder Killing Fist is a Perfect Martial Arts Technique!"
"A Perfect Martial Arts Technique can amplify one's power by that of four Savage Elephants. Added to his own strength, his total power is equivalent to five Savage Elephants."
"In other words, Qin Feiyang's current strength is enough to rival a Five-star Martial Master!"
"The Lin Family Head is a Two-star Martial Master, but his martial arts technique is only Middle Grade. It can only amplify his power by that of two Savage Elephants. Added to his own strength, his total power is only equivalent to four Savage Elephants. It would be easy for Qin Feiyang to kill him," the Third Palace Master said.
Hearing these words, Liu Yun and Yin Chuan were terrified. Fortunately, they hadn't actually attacked earlier; otherwise, they would undoubtedly have been beaten mercilessly by Qin Feiyang!
"You actually possess a Perfect Martial Arts Technique..."
"Qin Feiyang, I admit I hurt you. But have you ever considered that you deceived me for five whole years!"
"And you still have the gall to say you considered me your best friend?"
"A 'friend' like you is someone I, Lin Yiyi, cannot afford to associate with."
"Get out of the Lin family right now, and never show your face here again!"
"Get out!" Lin Yiyi roared, her voice filled with endless heartbreak and desolation.
"Pitiful woman." Qin Feiyang shook his head, turned, and prepared to leave.
"Did I say you could go?" Lin Baili, who had been silent for a long time, finally stepped forward.
"What do you want?" Qin Feiyang asked without turning back, a startlingly fierce light bursting from his eyes.
"The Lin family is not a place you can come and go as you please."
"Moreover, you've injured Uncle Lin and the steward. If we let you leave just like this, how could the Lin family ever show its face again?" Lin Baili flexed his muscles as he walked towards Qin Feiyang, a deep sneer curling the corner of his mouth.
He hadn't intervened when Qin Feiyang severely injured the Lin Family Head. It was deliberate. He wanted to use this opportunity to make Qin Feiyang and Lin Yiyi have a complete falling out! Now that the goal has been achieved, it's time for him to clean up the mess. Moreover, if he steps in at this time, Lin Yiyi will certainly be grateful to him. Besides, with Qin Yuan gone, there's nothing to fear.
However, Lin Yiyi didn't seem to appreciate it. She reached out to stop Lin Baili and said, "Brother Baili, let him go."
"Why?" Lin Baili stopped, his brow instantly furrowing.
Lin Yiyi said, "Today is my birthday. I don't want to see any more bloodshed, nor do I want anyone to die."
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Lin Baili raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile. Now that my goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter whether this person lives or dies.
He looked at Qin Feiyang and said lightly, "Don't blame me for being meddlesome. If you continue to be so arrogant, you'll die a horrible death sooner or later. You'd better leave now. I hope you'll be more sensible the next time we meet."
"Before lecturing others, take a good look at your own character. As for our next meeting, it might not be as simple as today." Qin Feiyang scoffed, a meaningful smile on his lips, then walked away without looking back.
"It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Arrogant, are you? Just wait, I'll send you to hell tonight!" Lin Baili muttered to himself, a fleeting murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
In fact, none of what had just happened was part of his plan.
His real plan was to ruin Qin Feiyang's reputation and even take his life.
Originally, seeing that Qin Feiyang and Lin Yiyi had completely fallen out, he had no intention of implementing this plan. However, Qin Feiyang's parting words made him change his mind. This man must be eliminated! Otherwise, he will be an endless source of trouble!
Lin Baili took out two healing pills and administered them to the Lin Family Head and Lin Yong.
Lin Yong said gratefully, "Thank you, Young Master Baili."
"We are all family; no need for such formalities." Lin Baili smiled. Seeing the Lin Family Head still in a daze, he leaned in and whispered a few words into his ear. Whatever he said, the Lin Family Head suddenly regained his spirits, a cold glint flashing deep within his eyes!
The Lin Family Head stood up, looked at the Third Palace Master and the others with an apologetic expression, and said, "I'm truly sorry that such a fine banquet has turned into this."
"It's quite alright," Lo Qianxue waved her hand and smiled.
The Lin Family Head ordered, "Steward, have someone clean this place up quickly."
"Yes." The steward immediately set to work.
In less than a hundred breaths, the hall was cleaned, and the seats and tea table were replaced with new ones.
Notably, Lin Baili had stepped out for a short while during this period. Furthermore, Lin Yiyi, without anyone noticing, had put the jade bracelet Qin Feiyang had given her into her Qiankun Bag.
After everything was settled, the Lin Family Head said, "Everyone, please be seated. Steward, have the servants bring tea."
Upon the steward's command, several maids entered the hall in single file.
People started to chat and laugh again. However, Lin Yiyi remained silent and looked gloomy.
Several hundred breaths passed.
"AAAAH!"
Suddenly, Lin Yiyi screamed and collapsed onto her seat. Her face turned deathly pale, and a trickle of black blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
"What's going on?" Seeing this, everyone in the hall rushed over.
After a brief examination, Lin Baili said in shock and anger, "Uncle Lin, Yiyi has been poisoned!"
"What?" The Lin Family Head was furious.
"Family Head, we didn't poison her!" The maids immediately knelt on the ground, terrified.
"Baili, quickly give Yiyi the Detoxification Pill!" the Lin Family Head ordered. He handed Lin Yiyi's teacup to Lin Yong and instructed in a deep voice, "Go and verify immediately if there's poison in it!"
"Yes." Lin Yong nodded, ran out of the guest hall, and smashed the teacup on the ground outside.
The remaining tea splashed out, splattering onto the surrounding shrubs and flowers. The flowers immediately began to wither! The shrubs also wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye! Obviously, the tea in this cup was poisoned!
Qin Feiyang, just you wait. Tonight will be your doom! He sneered inwardly, then quickly returned to the guest hall.
After Lin Baili administered the Detoxification Pill to Lin Yiyi, her pale face gradually regained some color.
Seeing Lin Yong return, the Lin Family Head asked anxiously, "Steward, how is it?"
"It's poisoned," Lin Yong nodded.
The Lin Family Head, furious, looked at the maids and roared, "You still dare say you didn't poison it? Speak! Who was it?"
Lin Baili said, "Uncle Lin, Yiyi and the rest of us drank tea from the same pot. Yet, only Yiyi was poisoned. This means the culprit must be the maid who poured Yiyi's tea."
"Family Head, Young Master Baili, Xiao Hong didn't do it! I didn't poison her..." a maid crawled before them, frantically shaking her head. She was the one who had been pouring Lin Yiyi's tea.
Lin Yong's eyes flashed with a cold light as he shouted, "Confess immediately! Otherwise, not only will you die, but your family will also meet a gruesome end!"
Xiao Hong trembled and quickly nodded. "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! It was Qin Feiyang! He told me to poison Miss! Family Head, Young Master Baili, I only agreed because I was muddle-headed for a moment! Please, spare me!"
