Wei Teng and Li Yongfei’s excitement froze abruptly.
Qin Yi, sitting in another seat, couldn't help but smile as he heard this, his heart filled with relief.
Because Qin Lei said that, Wei Teng’s initial enthusiasm quickly faded.
He leaned back in his seat, scoffed, and said, “Qin Lei, you’re truly heartless. We are your biological parents, and you treat us like this?”
“No matter what, we gave birth to you! Without us, would you even exist?”
He wouldn’t have said anything if he hadn’t brought this up, but as soon as he did, Qin Lei’s calm demeanor instantly became agitated.
She shot up from her seat, her eyes slightly reddened as she stared at the two.
“You abandoned me after giving birth to me. If my mother hadn’t found me, I would have died long ago!”
“What you did was worse than not having me at all!”
Last night, under her persistent questioning, Zheng Shufen had told her everything.
Therefore, Qin Lei was fully aware of how Wei Teng and Li Yongfei had left her in a trash heap back then.
“What are you saying!” Li Yongfei slammed the table and stood up. “You’re alive and well now, aren’t you!”
“That’s thanks to my mother, not you!” Qin Lei retorted, her voice trembling with emotion.
Then, she took a deep breath, suppressed her agitation, and continued, “In short, from the moment you abandoned me in the garbage heap, I had nothing to do with you! I’m living well with my mother and brother now, and our lives will only get better in the future!”
“I hope you two will never appear in our lives again. Thank you!”
With that, she turned to leave.
But before she could take a step, Wei Teng grabbed her arm.
He held her back, preventing her from leaving.
Qin Lei: “What are you doing? Let go of me!”
“Hmph, what am I doing? You unfilial daughter, your father is going to teach you a lesson today…”
As Wei Teng cursed, he raised his other hand and made a move to slap Qin Lei across the face.
Qin Lei instinctively flinched and closed her eyes.
However, before Wei Teng’s hand could land, he felt his wrist gripped by an iron vise, unable to move.
What’s more, in the next second, he felt like his wrist was about to be crushed, the bones about to shatter.
“Ah…”
Wei Teng cried out in pain and released Qin Lei.
Upon hearing the cry, Qin Lei opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise, “Brother!!!”
Without a doubt, the person who had grabbed Wei Teng’s wrist could only be Qin Yi!
“Qin… Qin Yi…”
Li Yongfei looked at Qin Yi, both shocked and somewhat fearful.
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts! Qin Yi, let go of me!”
Wei Teng cried out in agony, unable to stand steadily, and began to crouch down.
But before he could squat, Qin Yi grabbed his hair and with a crash, slammed his head onto the table.
He said coldly, “Given that you are Xiao Lei’s biological parents, I didn’t pursue the trouble with you last night! But if you insist on courting death, I will oblige!”
“Qin Yi, Qin Yi, we don’t dare anymore, we never will again…”
Li Yongfei was terrified. She wanted to help Wei Teng, but she was too afraid to touch Qin Yi, so she could only say anxiously from the side.
Wei Teng’s head was pressed against the table. He wanted to struggle, but how could he be Qin Yi’s match? He couldn’t move at all.
He felt as if his head was about to explode under Qin Yi’s pressure. In agony, he begged, “Qin Yi, spare me! I promise I won’t dare again, we will never bother Qin Lei again. Please, give me another chance, ah, my head is going to explode…”
Seeing his extreme pain, Qin Lei felt a pang of sympathy and said to Qin Yi, “Brother, let them go!”
Hearing Qin Lei say this, Qin Yi finally released Wei Teng.
Like Zheng Shufen, Qin Lei was soft-hearted. Even after being bullied and suffering so much in the past, she had never changed!
As soon as Qin Yi let go, Wei Teng immediately scurried away from him and, along with Li Yongfei, their faces etched with fear, they fled out of the coffee shop as if escaping.
Qin Lei stood rooted to the spot, watching their retreating figures, her expression complex.
“Alright, stop looking. Let’s go!”
Qin Yi took Qin Lei’s hand and left the coffee shop.
To comfort Qin Lei and lift her spirits, Qin Yi didn’t take her home immediately.
They went shopping at the mall, then ate at a snack street, and only returned home in the evening.
After Qin Yi’s companionship and comforting words throughout the day, Qin Lei’s mood finally improved significantly.
The next day, Qin Lei went to work at Han Corporation as usual.
Qin Lei and Han Xin were both working, and Zheng Shufen’s injuries had also largely healed, so there was no need for someone to stay home with her all day.
Therefore, Qin Yi went to the Yunwu Mountain Range, deciding to cultivate diligently for two days.
Qin Yi knew that the place with the densest spiritual energy in Hai City was the Yunwu Mountain Range, and cultivating there would be much more effective than in other places!
Qin Yi arrived at Yunwu Mountain and walked directly into its depths.
Unexpectedly, before he could reach the area with the most concentrated spiritual energy, several martial artists in Taoist robes appeared and blocked his path.
“Who are you? Stop right there!”
Qin Yi stopped in his tracks. Seeing their attire, he immediately recognized them as disciples of the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple.
The robe Wudaozi wore was similar to this.
Before Qin Yi could respond, another martial artist in a Taoist robe shouted at him, “Get out! This is no place for you!”
Qin Yi recalled that during the previous meeting, because Wudaozi had claimed that the Bushi-do was annihilated by his master, Jiang Xiongjing and Jiang Hongxin had gifted three of the Jiang family’s cultivation sites to the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple in gratitude.
Thus, this prime cultivation spot in Yunwu Mountain now belonged to the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple.
However, Qin Yi had no intention of retreating. He had come all this way and hadn't even cultivated for a minute yet. How could he leave?
Most importantly, the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple had obtained this place entirely because Jiang Xiongjing and Jiang Hongxin had been deceived, and Wudaozi had used his achievements to gain it!
Therefore, strictly speaking, this Yunwu Mountain should belong to him!
“I told you to get out, are you deaf?”
One disciple drew his sword and pointed it directly at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi’s expression remained calm, and he stood his ground, not moving.
This further enraged the disciples of the Zhongnan Mountain Taoist Temple. The one who drew his sword thrust it at Qin Yi.
The speed was astonishing; it reached Qin Yi in an instant!
With such speed, an ordinary person would be unable to dodge.
Furthermore, the trajectory of the sword thrust was aimed at Qin Yi’s chest. If struck, Qin Yi would surely die!
In that instant, Qin Yi’s face darkened. The opponent was ruthless, striking with a killing blow, intending to take his life!
Since that was the case, he showed no mercy. As the opponent closed in, he unleashed a palm strike, which landed directly on the opponent’s chest, sending him flying backward!
