I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

What just happened? What was that slapping sound? Did Pei Jue get slapped?

This is... absolutely outrageous!

Pei Jue's clear eyes became confused, then disbelief appeared, and then a fierce aura quickly gathered, "One sword to cleave the river!"

"Snap—"

Just as the sword strike began, another crisp and loud slap followed.

This time, everyone saw clearly that a simple, unadorned slap brought immense shock.

"One sword cuts it in two..."

"Snap—"

"One sword..."

"Snap—"

Pei Jue tried to draw his sword twice, but Qin Ge slapped him across the face both times.

Still simple and unpretentious, yet it nearly drove him to despair.

I wielded a sword that could cleave a river in two, striking fear into the hearts of countless people, only to be slapped so hard that I could no longer take care of myself.

That's so damn hurtful to my self-esteem!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Pei Jue shouted loudly and with great anger, but he had a little scheme in mind.

He swung his sword, but did not attack Qin Ge; instead, he used the sword light to block his own face.

If Qin Ge attacks him again and strikes his face, his hand will surely be severed!

"What are you doing, clowning around?"

Qin Ge stood to the side, leisurely watching Pei Jue, showing no intention of making a move.

Suspecting a trap, Pei Jue continued dancing for a while, only stopping when Qin Ge showed no intention of attacking. His face flushed slightly. "Why did you stop?"

"Snap—"

Qin Ge raised her hand and slapped him again. "How could you have such a fetish? Do you have a bit of a masochistic tendency?"

Lin Chen and the others were dumbfounded. The Sword That Could Cut Through the River, which could easily kill a master like Ding Mian, was actually played like a monkey by Qin Ge.

Lin Yao was both surprised and delighted. This bastard was so strong! I was just worried about him!

"I kill you!"

Pei Jue flew into a rage, completely losing his reason, and attacked Qin Ge without regard for anything else.

"Look at you, getting impatient again!" Qin Ge easily dodged. "You were the one who asked me why I wasn't going to fight; I was just fulfilling your request!"

"He's always yelling 'One sword, one sword' all day long, completely oblivious to other people's feelings. He deserves to get beaten up!"

His hand moved like a ghost, passing through layers of sword shadows, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Snap—"

Qin Ge's slap shattered Pei Jue's confidence and pride, crushing his dignity to pieces.

Pei Jue was still furious, but he was still on guard against Qin Ge. However, he was completely unable to defend against him!

He now knew that Qin Ge was just teasing him; otherwise, if he had just had a dagger in his hand, each of those slaps would have killed him!

Pei Jue was in worse pain than death. After years of hard work in martial arts, he had been completely outmaneuvered by his opponent!

If the other party were some famous figure, it would make him feel a little better, but unfortunately, it was a young junior who was unknown in the martial arts world!

That's not all. Qin Ge defeated him not with any famous swords or advanced martial arts techniques, but with a simple, unadorned slap!

It was so painful, Pei Jue wanted to cry.

After a surge of complex thoughts, Pei Jue stopped all his movements.

He stood with his sword hanging down, his eyes closed, appearing completely at Qin Ge's mercy.

"Why did you stop hitting?"

"The river hasn't dried up yet!"

"A friend of mine already mentioned wanting to hire you to do some work on a project. You should at least let me prove my abilities first, right?"

Qin Ge's words were so sweet they sounded like they were poisoned.

"puff--"

Pei Jue spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qin Ge's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly jumped back. "You're just being a sore loser. You can't win, so you resort to insults?"

"What terrible manners!"

Everyone was speechless.

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!" Pei Jue gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and drew his sword to commit suicide.

It wasn't that he didn't want to live, but he knew very well that Qin Ge was like a cat playing with a mouse.

Rather than being mocked, humiliated, and then killed, it's better to leave with dignity!

Everyone was stunned. He died just like that, having severed the river with a single sword strike?

Did he commit suicide because he couldn't bear the humiliation?

Lin Yuan's face was ashen, as if his father had died. He never imagined that his greatest asset would die so ignominiously!

It must be even more painful than losing one's own father, since he was in a great mood when he messed with his own father!

"Lin Lao Er!" Qin Ge's attention shifted to Lin Yuan. "What did you say you were going to give me several times before?"

"You're giving me a chance, huh?"

"Why do you people always give others opportunities? I won't give you any!"

He moved with lightning speed, appearing in front of Lin Yuan in the blink of an eye, one hand gripping his neck. "Fine, considering how many chances you've given me before, I'll give you a chance to say your last words!"

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

"For example, if you have too much inheritance and don't know what to do with it, and you don't want to leave it to the Lin family, I wouldn't mind giving it to me!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Lin Yuan's mind raced, racking his brains to think of what value he could possibly have to Qin Ge. "Brother Qin, I have a daughter!"

"I only have a son right now, but I can still have more!"

"Yes, I can still have children, I can have many!"

"You both have the Lin family genes, you're no worse than that girl Lin Yao. Can you wait for me for eighteen years?"

"As for my son, if Brother Qin can accept it, it's not out of the question. I'll send them for reformation!"

"Please don't kill me! If I die, I'll really have nothing left. I haven't lived enough!"

"What do you think!" Qin Ge increased the pressure, her eyes filled with disgust. "Trying to disgust me before you die, is that it?"

The Lin family was completely speechless. In all these years, they had never seen Lin Yuan act like this before.

Lin Zhinian couldn't bear to look anymore and had an urge to grab Lin Yuan and have a paternity test done.

"No, no!" Lin Yuan's flustered eyes were filled with sincerity and earnestness. "I'm serious! As long as Brother Qin has any requests, I will definitely do them!"

"You really can't kill me!"

"Dad, brother, I know I was wrong. Please plead for me, or Brother Qin will really kill me!"

"Yes, Yao Yao! Yao Yao, your second uncle is sorry, but no matter what, I'm still your second uncle!"

"Quickly say a good word for your second uncle! He used to hold you when you were little, don't you remember?"

"I don't remember!" Lin Yao's face was also full of disgust. "I only remember that you not only harmed me, but you also tried to kill Grandpa!"

"You want to kill my parents, kill everyone in the Lin family who doesn't obey you!"

"Second Uncle, go to your death in peace. I'll plead with Grandpa later to let you enter the Lin family ancestral hall."

"Pah!" Lin Yuan exclaimed angrily and urgently, "What difference does it make whether the person is fucking dead or not!"

"Who are you talking to?" Qin Ge tightened her grip, pinching Lin Yuan so hard his eyes bulged slightly. "You're doing so badly, it seems like nobody wants you alive!"

"You...you really can't kill me..." Lin Yuan managed to utter a few words, "Kill me, the Lu family won't let you get away with this!"

"The Lu family?" Qin Ge's interest was immediately piqued, and he loosened his grip slightly. "The Lu family you're talking about wouldn't happen to be Lu Qi's family, would it?"
