"I'll go take a look."
"Let's go together."
The commotion had disturbed Zheng Wanqing's elegant mood, and she no longer wished to continue.
Leading Qin Xuan forward, they didn't walk far before reaching the center of the noise.
"Ptooey!"
"If it weren't for needing you for the trip to the US, I'd make sure you never saw tomorrow's sun!"
Qin Wenchang, his face contorted, flung the empty coffee cup to the ground and furiously wiped his soiled clothes with a tissue.
Beneath him lay a young man in military uniform.
A trickle of blood stained his lips, and hot coffee poured over his head.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the scene before her, Zheng Wanqing's brow furrowed.
Qin Xuan, however, with his ability to hear inner voices, had already heard the complaints from the surrounding objects.
Coffee cup: Little brother, I didn't mean to! That bad guy threw me!
Airplane seat: What bad luck. He just accidentally spilled a little coffee, was that necessary?
Airplane tray: Exactly! And the soldier apologized, but he's still making a fuss, not only cursing but also hitting him! And this hot-tempered guy wants to eat off me later. Damn, I'm scared just thinking about it.
Military uniform: How dare he insult a soldier! How could this guy do that! If my master weren't so kind-hearted, I'd definitely have fought him!
Hearing these objects, Qin Xuan had a general understanding of the whole affair.
This scoundrel Qin Wenchang, simply because someone accidentally stained his clothes, had beaten the person to the ground and berated him extensively.
He had even uttered disrespectful words, insulting the military!
He had truly lived his past twenty-odd years to the dogs!
After helping the soldier lying on the ground to sit on a chair, Qin Xuan directly used his techniques to heal him.
Once the soldier had slowly recovered, Qin Xuan turned around and, to everyone's astonished gaze, walked up to Qin Wenchang.
With a swing of his right hand, he slapped the man across the face with extreme speed.
*Slap!*
*Thump!*
The crisp sound of the slap instantly echoed throughout the cabin.
Even the four ladies playing mahjong in the distance heard it, quickly stopping their actions and peering inside.
Su Nishang gently put down the book in her hand.
Tang Junlin, who was stirring his coffee, also narrowed his eyes, watching everything unfold.
"Xuan'er..."
As a Divine-tier Supreme, Gu Wanqing had naturally reacted before Qin Xuan made his move.
However, she knew what kind of person Qin Xuan was and knew he would never harm someone without reason.
Therefore, even though she had the opportunity, she did not intervene, allowing her beloved disciple to act.
"You dare hit me?"
Qin Wenchang, slowly getting up from the ground, still couldn't believe that Qin Xuan had just slapped him.
He was the second young master of the Qin family!
Although not favored by his grandfather, he was still someone few dared to provoke.
This Qin Xuan actually dared to hit him in front of so many people?
Was he tired of living?
His anger surging, Qin Wenchang was about to retaliate.
But before he could reach Qin Xuan, Qin Xuan was already in front of him again, delivering a fierce slap to his face.
"So what if I hit you?!"
"Are you, Qin Wenchang, that special?"
"You're allowed to hit others, but others aren't allowed to hit you?"
"I am the second young master of the Qin family!" Qin Wenchang roared.
Qin Xuan sneered, "The second young master of the Qin family?"
"So what if you're the second young master of the Qin family?"
"Does the second young master of the Qin family get to insult soldiers over a minor issue?"
"Does the second young master of the Qin family get to hit people in public and do as he pleases?!"
"I truly don't know how you grew up!"
"Didn't your mother ever teach you to respect soldiers properly?!"
A barrage of questions poured out, Qin Xuan wishing he could follow up with more slaps to Qin Wenchang.
Unlike the upbringing of the other party, Qin Xuan had always held a deep admiration for soldiers since childhood.
From the words of the院长 and his teachers, he clearly understood that without these Dragon Country soldiers guarding the borders, they would not have their current peaceful living environment.
Even now, as a Grandmaster-level General in the Dragon Country, his abilities far surpassed those of ordinary soldiers.
But in his heart, he would always hold respect and gratitude for these brave individuals.
Therefore, when Qin Xuan heard Qin Wenchang insulting soldiers, his anger instantly reached its peak.
Of course, this wasn't to say Qin Xuan was only angry about this particular incident.
Even setting aside the insult to the soldiers, Qin Wenchang's arrogance and high-handedness were already something he found extremely distasteful.
Qin Xuan's voice, it seemed, could be heard throughout the entire plane. Those with military backgrounds all felt a significant increase in their good impression of Qin Xuan.
In the pantry, Ke Wudi and Hu Sanqiang exchanged a knowing smile.
In the cabin, Gu Wanqing's eyes revealed a deep affection.
As Divine-tier Supremes who had participated in countless wars, they knew the greatness of soldiers even better than Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan's willingness to speak up for the soldiers now filled their hearts with immense comfort.
Without further inquiry into the cause and effect of the incident, Zheng Wanqing directly issued a notice of punishment to Qin Wenchang.
Firstly, he must apologize to the assaulted soldier, Wang Sheng.
Secondly, upon returning to the Dragon Country, he would be confined for seven days to reflect on his actions.
Hearing Gu Wanqing's clear and cold voice, Qin Wenchang naturally dared not show any further dissatisfaction.
After resentfully bowing and apologizing to Wang Sheng, he let out a cold snort and went to sit beside Tang Junlin.
His narrow eyes were filled with defiance, and when he looked at Qin Xuan, it was with pure hatred.
"Qin Xuan!"
"I, Qin Wenchang, remember today's events!"
"When my cultivation breaks through and I achieve Grandmaster status, I will definitely seek justice from you!"
Qin Wenchang's resentment was within Qin Xuan's expectations.
However, he truly couldn't be bothered with such a brainless, spoiled brat.
Returning to Gu Wanqing's side, preparing to leave together, the soldier Wang Sheng, whom he had just healed, hurried over and gave Qin Xuan a military salute.
"Thank you, General Qin, for your assistance!"
"Don't mention it, it's what I should do."
Qin Xuan smiled and waved his hand gently.
Just as he was about to leave, he remembered what the military uniform had said. "With your strength, you should be able to defend against Qin Wenchang's attack, right?"
"Next time, no matter what happens, prioritize protecting yourself."
Wang Sheng: "..."
"Yes, Wang Sheng understands!"
Although he didn't know how Qin Xuan had discerned his strength, what the other party said was correct.
While he hadn't reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, he possessed the strength to contend with one.
However, as a soldier, Wang Sheng was unwilling to resort to force easily.
Especially when the person he had a conflict with was a key player in the upcoming international martial arts exchange competition.
If he acted impulsively and caused both of them to be injured and unable to compete,
Then not only he, but also his country, would be disgraced!
Therefore, to de-escalate the situation, Wang Sheng chose to endure.
Even when the other party verbally abused him repeatedly, even when the other party attacked and injured him.
What he hadn't expected was that.
Mere physical attacks were not enough to appease the other party.
After being knocked to the ground, Qin Wenchang not only poured scalding coffee on his head but also insulted the entire military group he belonged to!
This was something Wang Sheng could no longer tolerate.
If Qin Xuan hadn't appeared and stood in his place, perhaps he would not have chosen to endure any longer, but would have risen up and confronted the other party directly.
