Watching Heshuo leave, Lai Caiyun sighed helplessly.
"Alchemist Ye, I'm truly sorry..."
Qin Han Chu didn't pay it any mind. He said, "I'm hungry, let's go eat."
Seeing that Qin Han Chu wasn't angry, Lai Caiyun then took him to a specialty restaurant.
During the meal, Qin Han Chu asked about the relationship between Heshuo and Lai Caiyun.
After learning about Lai Caiyun's family background, he chuckled, "Your family situation is exactly like mine."
"Are your parents also from blended families?" Lai Caiyun asked.
Qin Han Chu nodded. "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue eating."
The restaurant recommended by Lai Caiyun was indeed good, and the food tasted to Qin Han Chu's liking.
After eating, the two returned to their residence together.
As soon as they reached the bottom of the apartment building, Lai Caiyun saw Heshuo guarding the entrance with four middle-aged men.
This guy was here to get revenge on Qin Han Chu!
Lai Caiyun knew Qin Han Chu's identity. Whether it was his status as an honorary deacon or a glorious alchemist, neither was someone Heshuo could afford to offend.
If he angered Qin Han Chu, Heshuo's father would also suffer consequences.
When Lai Caiyun saw Heshuo, Heshuo also saw Qin Han Chu and the other person.
He had intended to corner Lai Caiyun and demand Qin Han Chu's location, but he didn't expect Qin Han Chu to still be with Lai Caiyun.
"Lai Caiyun, are you already living with this guy?" Heshuo didn't know that Qin Han Chu also lived there, so he assumed Qin Han Chu and Lai Caiyun were already living together.
"Heshuo, you'd better not cause trouble, or you'll be the one to suffer," Lai Caiyun warned.
Heshuo chuckled, pointing to the four middle-aged men beside him. "They are all Grandmasters. Do you think I'll be the one to suffer?"
Qin Han Chu smiled. "You brought them here to beat me, right?"
"What else? Should they beat me?" Heshuo snorted.
"You've reminded me, beating you is indeed a good choice."
Qin Han Chu's words made Heshuo even more furious. "Are you crazy? They are my people. Do you think they would attack me?"
"Your people? I don't think so." As he spoke, Qin Han Chu took out his deacon card. "The four of you should recognize this, right?"
Upon seeing the deacon card, the gazes of the four middle-aged men immediately became fearful.
"Greetings, Deacon!"
These four were only martial artists in the early to middle stages of Grandmaster realm. How could they dare to confront Qin Han Chu, a Great Grandmaster?
In the underground world, anyone who possessed a deacon card was undoubtedly a Great Grandmaster, there was no doubt about it.
"You... you're a Great Grandmaster!"
Heshuo, who had been arrogant moments ago, was stunned. He never expected Qin Han Chu, so young, to have already reached the Great Grandmaster realm!
Qin Han Chu ignored Heshuo and said to the four middle-aged men, "I'll let you beat him up. You shouldn't refuse, right? If you refuse, then I'll have to beat you up first."
"We won't refuse. Whatever Deacon says, we will do!"
The four dared not oppose Qin Han Chu. Heshuo asking them to attack a Great Grandmaster was no different from pushing them into a fiery pit.
Moreover, Qin Han Chu was only asking them to beat Heshuo, not kill him.
"Then go ahead, give him a good beating," Qin Han Chu's tone was very calm, as if he were stating something trivial.
Hearing that Qin Han Chu had actually ordered the four to hit him, Heshuo quickly said, "Wait, this is my fault. I apologize!"
Qin Han Chu chuckled, "Are you already backing down? I thought you were a man!"
"I didn't know you were a Great Grandmaster. It was my mistake earlier." Although Heshuo's father had connections with many Great Grandmasters, he didn't dare to incur an enemy for his father who was a Great Grandmaster.
"Attack, I despise bullies the most."
Qin Han Chu would not let Heshuo go just because he apologized. Adults must take responsibility for their actions and words.
The four men thought Qin Han Chu would let Heshuo go since he had apologized, but they didn't expect Qin Han Chu to still order them to attack.
Since Qin Han Chu had given the order, the four dared not disobey.
Bang...
Ah!
"Stop hitting!"
Under the fists and kicks of the four, Heshuo was quickly beaten into a pulp.
Although the four Grandmasters hadn't used their full strength, the physical pain made Heshuo cry out in agony.
"That's enough."
Qin Han Chu didn't waste any more time on this matter. He walked into the apartment building.
Lai Caiyun looked at Heshuo on the ground and said, "I've already warned you. Being too arrogant will bring trouble."
"You..."
Lai Caiyun didn't bother with Heshuo anymore. She also walked into the apartment.
...
Half an hour later, Heshuo limped into his house.
"What happened to you?"
In the living room, Heshuo's father was chatting with Lai Caiyun's mother.
Upon seeing Heshuo, with a bruised face and limping, enter, he stood up in surprise.
Heshuo glanced at Lai Caiyun's mother. "I was beaten by Lai Caiyun's boyfriend!"
"What? What happened? How did Caiyun's boyfriend beat you?" Lai Caiyun's mother said, then suddenly exclaimed, "Caiyun has a boyfriend?"
Heshuo endured the pain and said, "More than just a boyfriend, they're already living together."
Lai Caiyun's mother was surprised. "Even if she has a boyfriend, why would her boyfriend beat you?"
Heshuo's father also looked at Heshuo. "Yes, why?"
"Don't ask about it. Just let it be. Pretend I just fell down myself," Heshuo said helplessly.
Heshuo's father said sternly, "Since you're not saying, I'll have to ask your sister."
"Don't ask, I brought this on myself." Heshuo didn't want his father to approach Qin Han Chu, as Qin Han Chu was a Great Grandmaster-level deacon.
Heshuo's response surprised his father greatly. This was the first time his son had admitted his mistake.
"Who is Caiyun's boyfriend?" Lai Caiyun's mother asked.
"A young man at the Great Grandmaster level. I don't know his specific background."
Heshuo didn't need to find alchemists to refine pills for him, so he didn't care about information from the Alchemist Association.
It was precisely because of this that Heshuo didn't know about Qin Han Chu's identity as a glorious alchemist.
"What? A young man at the Great Grandmaster level?" Heshuo's father was first shocked, then delighted. "Are you serious?"
Although Lai Caiyun wasn't his biological daughter, Lai Caiyun was considered his stepdaughter.
If Lai Caiyun had indeed found a Great Grandmaster as a boyfriend, then his family's influence would definitely increase.
This was great news for the He family.
"Of course it's true, he has an honorary deacon card," Heshuo replied.
Heshuo's father looked at Lai Caiyun's mother. "Call Caiyun and ask her to bring her boyfriend over to visit."
"Dad, I was just beaten by him, and you want to invite him over?"
Heshuo knew very well the power of a Great Grandmaster. If Lai Caiyun could truly marry a Great Grandmaster, then their He family's status would definitely rise to a higher level.
