Qin Lin stared at Qin Xiaowan in confusion, not quite understanding what she meant. 'Could it be she knows Ye Tian better than I do?'
The restaurant's patrons all turned to look at the five of them. These were the true young talents of Lisha City. The two prodigies of the Qin Family were once again challenging the prodigy of the Ye Family—it was a spectacle not to be missed.
"Brother, let's go! This isn't the place to talk. We should go back first. Don't you trust me?" Qin Xiaowan said, rolling her eyes at Qin Lin. 'I don't get it. He's usually so smart, so why is he being so dense today?'
"Qin Xiaowan, how can you side with an outsider against your own family? Since when has our Qin Family been afraid of anyone? My brother and I won't listen to you. We ran into Ye Tian today, so we have to make him pay for what he did. I'm starting to wonder if you're even part of the Qin Family, speaking up for an outsider like this," Qin Li fumed.
A flicker of anger crossed Qin Xiaowan's beautiful face. She truly didn't understand why her two brothers hated Ye Tian so much. 'Ye Tian was strong enough to kill experts on the level of the Black Iron Guard. How could they possibly be his match?'
Ye Tian was getting annoyed. 'I didn't want to cause trouble today, but these two just don't know when to quit. If this is how it's going to be, I'll have to teach them a lesson. If they push me too far, I might even kill them.'
"Qin Li, stop running your mouth. Wasn't the last lesson enough for you? If you want another taste, I can certainly oblige you today. Except this time will be much more... thorough. Whether or not you keep your life will be up to fate," Ye Tian said.
"Don't get cocky, Ye Tian! The outcome of today's fight is far from decided. Since you want to teach me a lesson, let's see how much you've improved recently!" Qin Li roared.
Ye Tian chuckled inwardly. 'Those last words are what I should be saying to him. But this guy, just to save face, actually spouted them in front of everyone. I wonder what he'll look like when he's humiliated.'
"Brother Tian, since the two young masters of the Qin Family think so highly of you, why not play with them a little? Feifei feels like she's improved recently and wants to use these two for some practice. What do you think?" Ye Feifei said gently to Ye Tian.
Qin Lin had long been infatuated with Ye Feifei. Even though he knew a relationship between them was impossible, seeing her act this way toward Ye Tian right in front of him felt like a knife slowly twisting in his heart, each turn drawing more blood.
Qin Lin's expression turned hideous. He was overcome with the urge to kill Ye Tian on the spot, but he held back. This was a Qin Family establishment; there was no need to make a move here.
"Ye Tian, if you're a man, let's fight again. Same place as last time, what do you say? If all you know is how to hide behind a woman, then you're nothing but a coward," Qin Lin seethed.
"Hahahaha! You're right. I love hiding behind women, so what? Feel free to do the same, if you can. But it doesn't seem like any woman is willing to step up for you, is there?" Ye Tian's voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the restaurant heard him loud and clear.
The words left Qin Lin utterly humiliated, sparing him not a shred of dignity. Veins pulsed on his forehead as he ground his teeth so hard they audibly clicked. He looked like he wanted to swallow Ye Tian whole.
"Brother, the guy is all talk. Why should we stoop to his level? It would only lower our own standing! Since he doesn't want to fight, we can't force him, can we? These so-called geniuses are all just hype. How about we just go back to our drinks?" Qin Li said suddenly.
Qin Li's sudden change of heart baffled Qin Lin. 'What's gotten into you? You actually want to let Ye Tian off the hook?'
"There's no need for the two of you to put on a show for me. If you really want a fight, let's go. I hope I won't disappoint you this time," Ye Tian said flatly, his tone icy. As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Xiaowan.
Ye Tian himself wasn't sure why he had looked at Qin Xiaowan. It seemed to be an unconscious gesture. But when his gaze fell on her, she was already looking at him, and their eyes met for an instant.
But Ye Tian quickly looked away. He could see something unique in her eyes, and at this moment, he really didn't want to get entangled with her in any way.
Qin Xiaowan wanted to say something to Ye Tian, but she swallowed her words. All she could think about was her two reckless brothers. 'Why do they have to pick a fight with Ye Tian? How is this any different from suicide?'
Ye Tian and Ye Feifei left the restaurant. 'Since the Qin brothers want a fight, I should oblige them. I've just broken through to a new realm, so this is a good chance to test my strength and see how much Attack Power I have without using the War Dragon Heavenly Arm.'
After Ye Tian and Ye Feifei left, the three Qin siblings followed. The restaurant patrons quickly paid their bills and trailed after them. In an instant, Lisha City was buzzing with excitement once again.
News of another fight between Ye Tian and the young masters of the Qin Family spread like wildfire. Soon, more than half the people in Lisha City had heard about it, and everyone rushed toward the public square.
As Ye Tian and Ye Feifei left, a tiny centipede in the air followed them. This was, of course, Ye Tian's guardian beast, the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python, in disguise.
Arriving at the square, Ye Tian and Ye Feifei stood quietly in place. The three Qin siblings stopped about five meters away from them. The crowd that had followed was sensible enough to stand dozens of meters back, giving the combatants ample space.
"Just come at me together. I don't want to waste time," Ye Tian stated coolly.
"Don't be so arrogant, Ye Tian! You're not worthy of fighting both of us at once. Today, I'll teach you a lesson myself!" Qin Li roared, unable to restrain himself. With a flash of movement, he shot toward Ye Tian to attack.
Ye Tian paid Qin Li's attack no mind. Before he could even make a move, Ye Feifei, who stood beside him, thrust out a palm.
Ye Feifei had now broken through to the One Vein Eighth Layer Realm. Dealing with Qin Li, a mere One Vein Sixth Layer, was almost effortless for her.
Her palm strike looked casual and weightless, but it actually contained at least eighty percent of her power. A direct hit would have severely injured Qin Li.
The moment Ye Feifei unleashed the strike, an incredibly domineering aura erupted from her. Only a few, like Ye Tian, could sense it, but the three Qin siblings felt it most acutely. It was the aura of the One Vein Eighth Layer, which meant Ye Feifei was now a One Vein Eighth Layer Martial Artist.
Though Qin Li was usually reckless, he could be perceptive. The moment he felt Ye Feifei's aura, he knew he was no match for her. He twisted his body in mid-air and narrowly dodged the attack...
