Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Chapter 567

Shangguan Qian turned her gaze towards Shangguan Jiao again, "Hey! Isn't this the Shangguan Jiao who always calls me a little bastard? Why is she acting so badly?"

"And you, Shangguan Tou, are just as bad as your selfish and hypocritical father!"

Shangguan Qian looked at the greasy-haired Shangguan Tou, who was nailed to the chair, with disgust. Shangguan Qian's exposed emotion was quickly noticed by Gong Huanyu who was following closely behind him.

"Cousin, what's wrong? Did Shangguan Tou do something to you?" Gong Huanyu protected Shangguan Qian behind her like a hen protecting her chicks.

Shangguan Qian knew very well that it was better to take advantage of someone's illness to kill him, so she immediately told Gong Huanyu all the disgusting things Shangguan Tou had done to her when they were children.

Gong Huanyu did not disappoint the promise he made to Shangguan Qian, and immediately strode towards Shangguan Tou. Shangguan Jiao and her mother tried to stand in front of Shangguan Tou to stop Gong Huanyu.

Gong Huanyu did not have the same mood as Shangguan Jiao and her mother. He simply grasped the hilt of the long sword and pulled it out slowly. Shangguan Tou clearly felt the long sword being slowly pulled out of his body.

"Ah! My son! Who are you? Are you the adulterer of that bitch Shangguan Qian? You two, a pair of dogs, actually dare to flaunt yourself in public like this! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Shangguan Jiao's mother fainted from the pain when she saw Shangguan Tou's long sword being pulled out.

Shangguan Jiao's mother couldn't bear it any longer, and she spoke wildly to Shangguan Qian and Gong Huanyu, but Gong Huanyu hit her in the neck with a knife.

The arrogant mistress of the Shangguan family in Shangguan Qian's memory just clutched her neck without a single last word. Her eyes widened as she died miserably.

"Wang Yufeng is dead, and it will be your turn soon, Shangguan Jiao! Have you thought about how you want to die? Or do you still need my help!" Shangguan Qian slowly walked up to Shangguan Jiao.

Shangguan Jiao slumped on the ground. Before Shangguan Qian could take a step forward, she crawled back. "Get out of here! You vicious woman! When you were little, you've been begging for food from me and my mother! Now, don't even think about becoming my boss!"

Shangguan Jiao threw everything she had on her body and at hand at Shangguan Qian. Unfortunately, Shangguan Jiao was just a delicate young lady, and there was no way she could be a match for Shangguan Qian, who had gone through a life-and-death test with Wufeng.

Shangguan Jiao had nowhere to retreat and nothing left to throw at her. "Shangguan Qian, I'd rather die than at your hands! Dream on!"

Shangguan Jiao pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and committed suicide. When Shangguan Jiao fell to the ground, she was still looking at Shangguan Qian with the eyes that she had always been proud of.

After Shangguan Qian easily dealt with Wang Yufeng and Shangguan Jiao, he turned around and looked at Shangguan Feilong, who had been standing upright in the middle of the hall, watching them force his wife and daughter to death.

"As expected, you still have such a hypocritical face. We forced your wife and daughter to death, and your son is disabled! You are still indifferent! You are indeed worthy of being the cold-blooded person praised by even Wufeng!" Shangguan Qian had to praise Shangguan Feilong.

Shangguan Feilong only raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at his wife and daughter lying in a pool of blood. "If I stand up for them, will you let us go?"

Shangguan Qian was stunned by Shangguan Feilong's question, then burst into laughter, "Of course..."

Shangguan Qian panted heavily and gave Shangguan Feilong a false impression, then quickly sent him to hell, "No! A family like yours is a cancer and should have been dead long ago! If the Shangguan family was handed over to someone else to manage, it would definitely be a hundred times better than an incompetent and cowardly man like you!"

I don’t know what Shangguan Qian said, but it was like a sharp sword that pierced Shangguan Feilong’s fragile heart. He suddenly became furious like a lit powder keg. An uncontrollable impulse surged in his heart, making him want to rush towards Shangguan Qian immediately.

However, years of living a life of luxury had left Shangguan Feilong's already less than refined martial arts skills in tatters, leaving them practically abandoned. His awkward attacking stance was not only powerless, but rather comical.

Shangguan Qian saw this and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. She easily dodged Shangguan Feilong's attack, then quickly attacked, as swift as the wind, subduing Shangguan Feilong in just a few moves.

Shangguan Qian took advantage of the situation and rode on Shangguan Feilong, looking down at him with a flash of anger in her eyes. Without hesitation, she raised her hands and slapped Shangguan Feilong twice.

"These two slaps are returned to you!" Shangguan Qian's voice was cold and resolute, as if these two slaps had been brewing in her heart for a long time.

Shangguan Feilong was a little dazed by the beating. He had never expected Shangguan Qian to fight back so decisively. Before he could come to his senses, Shangguan Qian stood up and kicked him again. As soon as Shangguan Feilong got up, he was kicked to the ground again by Shangguan Qian.

Then, Shangguan Qian nimbly flipped over and rode on Shangguan Feilong again. The dagger in her hand flashed with cold light and pointed directly at Shangguan Feilong's neck. As long as she exerted a little force, the dagger could easily pierce Shangguan Feilong's throat.

"Since you plan to use me to join Wufeng, you only have two choices. Either you treat me well and never let me suffer any injustice again; or you simply tell your wife and children about my existence and let them know what kind of person you are!" Shangguan Qian's tone became increasingly harsh, her eyes like torches, staring intently at Shangguan Feilong. "You use me to please Wufeng, while at the same time allowing your wife and children to bully me behind my back! Your behavior is simply that of a complete coward!"

Shangguan Qian reached out and patted Shangguan Feilong on the face. "I'm really curious how you could be so shameless! You must have been very proud of yourself at the time! You thought you had teased Wufeng and used Wufeng's intimidation to suppress all other competitors who were more capable than you!"

Shangguan Qian looked around. She and her cousin had acted so hard against the head of the Shangguan family, but it did not attract the attention of the other members of the Shangguan family. This shows how Shangguan Feilong usually treats those members of the Shangguan family.

Shangguan Qian looked at Shangguan Feilong, who was lying on the ground, with contempt. "Shangguan Feilong, tell me how many members of your clan have you offended on a daily basis. Even though your entire family was almost killed by my cousin and I, not a single member of the Shangguan family came out to stop this farce!"

Gong Huanyu stood aside and dismissed the servant who had just been nearly killed by Shangguan Tou. "You have nothing to do here. Go down first! Don't let anyone come and disturb us!"

The servant had long hated Shangguan Feilong's family from the bottom of his heart, so how could he risk his life for them? What's more, Shangguan Tou just wanted to kill him. The man in front of him came back with the second young lady, not only saved his life, but also gave him some silver to shut him up. No matter what the reason, he would not say that he would seek help for Shangguan Feilong and the others.

"Don't worry, benefactor! Shangguan Feilong has relied on his position as the head of the family over the years, and the brother and sister Shangguan Tou and Shangguan Jiao have relied on Shangguan Feilong as their father to beat and scold us servants. There are at least a hundred servants who have died at their hands!"

The servant recounted to Gong Huanyu the various evil deeds of Shangguan Feilong's family with an indignant look on his face, especially their oppression of the lower class people and their persecution of those who competed with Shangguan Feilong.

"My benefactor, you probably don't know yet! Shangguan Feilong is actually not qualified to be the head of the Shangguan family! He obtained Wufeng's help through some despicable means, and then eliminated all other competitors who stood in his way with all kinds of insidious and cunning methods! Otherwise, how could an incompetent person like Shangguan Feilong have the opportunity to become the head of the Shangguan family?" At this point, the servant became more and more excited, and even spat at Shangguan Feilong fiercely to express his disgust and disdain.

Gong Huanyu listened quietly to the servant's story, his face showing no surprise or dissatisfaction. After the servant finished speaking, he simply said, "I already know all this." Then, he took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to the servant, "This is your reward. Go back to your work."

The servant happily accepted the silver from Gong Huanyu, completely ignoring the pleading look Shangguan Feilong gave him. A smug smile spread across his face, and after thanking Gong Huanyu, he turned and swaggered out of the hall, leaving Shangguan Feilong standing there, his face pale and as if he had fallen into an icy cellar.

After seeing this scene, Shangguan Qian looked at the pale-faced Shangguan Feilong with sarcasm, and slowly stood up with the support of Gong Huanyu.

"Shangguan Feilong, look at how you can be such a failure as a human being? Since you're planning to climb to the pinnacle of power through blood and sweat, you should use that power to keep the Shangguan family under your control. Look at the Shangguan family you manage. To outsiders, it looks like a flourishing family, but what about the reality? It can't withstand even the slightest bit of trouble."

Shangguan Qian laughed at Shangguan Feilong, who had racked his brains and used all means to get the Shangguan family, but it turned out to be so vulnerable. Gong Shangjiao didn't even need to do anything, the guards at the door just let them in.

What's more, those warriors who were kept in Shangguan Mansion by Shangguan Feilong did not show up to protect their master, but allowed the master who hired them to be killed and humiliated!

Shangguan Feilong was completely crushed by this series of blows. Even though he no longer wanted to admit how much of a failure he was as the head of the family, in reality, the ones who dealt him a heavy blow were those thugs whom he usually treated with good food and drink.

Shangguan Feilong was carried by Shangguan Qian like a chicken, stumbling all the way to the Shangguan Family Ancestral Hall. Along the way, his heart was filled with fear and unwillingness. He didn't understand why Shangguan Qian had such great strength, and even more so why she treated him like this.

When Shangguan Feilong was finally thrown to the ground, he discovered that the rest of the Shangguan family had already gathered in the ancestral hall. These people had originally been hiding in their rooms, not daring to come out and confront Shangguan Qian, but now they all gathered around as if to watch the fun.

Shangguan Feilong saw these elders, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart. He widened his eyes and looked at the elders who had hurried over with anticipation, hoping that they could work together to take down Shangguan Qian, the bitch.

"Great Elder! Please quickly have someone arrest the bastard Shangguan Qian and this wild man! They killed my wife, my son and my daughter! This is a blood feud! They must be arrested and severely punished, otherwise how can we comfort the souls of my wife and children in heaven!" Shangguan Feilong cried with tears in his eyes.

However, what Shangguan Feilong never expected was that the Great Elder not only did not do as he asked, but instead scolded him with a stern face.

"Shut up! You idiot! I was so blind to choose someone as stupid as a pig like you to be the head of the family! Look at what good things you have done! The Shangguan family is about to be ruined by you!" The voice of the great elder echoed in the ancestral hall, making Shangguan Feilong's ears buzz.

Although Shangguan Feilong still had a lot to say, he was blocked by the other elders behind the Great Elder.

"Shangguan Feilong, you should bear the consequences of the mistakes you made! Look at you, not only are you unreliable, but you also married a jealous wife and gave birth to an incompetent son and a spoiled and domineering daughter. It's such a misfortune for your family!" An elder said indignantly.

"Yes, ever since you became the head of the Shangguan family, the Shangguan family has been getting worse day by day! Look at those shop owners, they don't take our Shangguan family seriously and fool us at will. And you? You actually know nothing about this!" Another elder also echoed.

"If Mr. Gong Er hadn't sent someone to tell us these things, we would probably still be kept in the dark! Who would have thought that your useless son would mortgage so many of our Shangguan family's shops outside! This is our Shangguan family's property, how could he do such a reckless thing?" Another elder said excitedly.

"Hmph, you are really a person who can't do anything good but always makes things worse!" Finally, an elder cursed angrily.

Although Shangguan Qian was very satisfied with the attitude of the other members of the Shangguan family, what she had to do now was to deal with Shangguan Feilong instead of listening to their quarrel here.

"Great Elder, I know you are the most impartial elder of the Shangguan Family. Shangguan Feilong has done so many evil things, and I am not a murderer. I have already taken my revenge. As for Shangguan Feilong, I will leave her to the Shangguan Family to deal with internally. How do you think?"

Shangguan Qian knew very well the principle of knowing when to quit. She had already broken into the Shangguan family with her cousin and killed the mistress of the Shangguan family and her two children. As for the head of the Shangguan family, he would be left to these Shangguan family members who had long held a grudge against him.

The Great Elder also understood Shangguan Qian's intention. "Please also put in a few good words for us in front of Mr. Gong Er. We have no cooperative relationship with Wu Feng. This was all Shangguan Feilong's idea!"

Both Shangguan Qian and Gong Huanyu were very satisfied with the Great Elder's answer.

Gong Huanyu stood in front of Shangguan Qian and answered the Great Elder's request on her behalf. "My cousin will leave the palace soon. As for Gong Er, I will explain it to you."

The Great Elder glanced at Gong Huanyu and then at Shangguan Qian, "Who is this?"

Shangguan Qian then revealed Gong Huanyu's identity to the Shangguan family, "This is my cousin, an orphan from the Gushan Sect like me, and also the former young master of the palace sect - Gong Huanyu!"

Shangguan Feilong looked at Gong Huanyu in shock, but didn't get a single glance from him.

Shangguan Qianjian had achieved his goal and didn't want to stay in the Shangguan family anymore, so he said goodbye.
