Chapter 59: The villain wrecked the protagonist, and trouble kept rolling in.
A collective gasp swept through the venue.
“The hell, are they really going this far?”
“How did Qin Yu offend that Prince? His own mom’s done for!”
…
Yuan Yuan’s face drained of color.
She hurriedly begged Kui An for mercy, terrified of being disgraced in public; if that happened, she could never hold her head up again.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yuan also shouted toward the inn, “Yu’er, hurry out and explain to your adoptive father… do you really want your mother dead?”
…
Hiding inside the inn, Qin Yu went numb.
He had expected Kui An’s fury, but he had not expected the man to threaten his mother, leaving him no way out.
Whatever happened, as her son, if he abandoned his mother now, he could never cleanse that stigma even if he rose again later.
“Anyway, the academy’s here… surely they won’t kill me, right?”
Qin Yu steeled himself and decided to face Kui An in person.
Yet the moment he tried to leave, Wang Teng and the others blocked him.
“Qin Yu, you can’t go out right now.”
“That Prince obviously wants you dead; if you go out now you’ll die.”
…
Looking at their seemingly concerned faces, Qin Yu felt no gratitude; he didn’t believe this bunch was so kind-hearted.Before he could speak, Wang Teng cut in, “I know you’re touched, but if you want to thank someone, thank Senior Brother Ning; he told us to protect you.”
“Damn!”
The moment Ning Bei’s name came up, Qin Yu nearly choked. “I have to thank him? My mom’s out there… don’t think I don’t know you’re here to watch the show.”
With that, Qin Yu shoved them aside.
But as soon as he reached the door, Ning Bei pulled him back. “Why are you out? It’s dangerous; get inside.”
“?”
Qin Yu shook with rage.
The next instant, when he saw what Ning Bei held, he snapped, “Why are you holding an image stone? I’m asking you… why the image stone?”
“Oh…”
Ning Bei froze for a second, then said solemnly, “Don’t misunderstand; when disputes arise, we often record the events with an image stone. That’s reasonable, right?”
“Damn!”
Qin Yu almost spat blood.
Did they think he was an idiot?
He knew Ning Bei wanted to film his mother.
“Three!”
“Two!”
Kui An’s countdown rang outside.
“Father, Father, I’m coming!”
Qin Yu had no time to expose Ning Bei and dashed outside.
The moment she saw her son, Yuan Yuan let out a relieved breath. “Yu’er, what on earth happened? How did the Golden Vajra Scripture leak?”
“You little bastard!”
Kui An’s eyes narrowed, and murderous intent burst forth.
“Father, please hear me out.”
Qin Yu broke into a cold sweat.
He hurriedly recounted everything about being knocked out, waking up, and finding copies of the Golden Vajra Scripture.
Hearing this, the onlookers were stunned.
“The Golden Vajra Scripture leaked from Qin Yu?”
“He even managed to call a Prince ‘father’ and got the Golden Vajra Scripture… could this be a plot?”
“You mean he became the Prince’s son just to get the scripture and then staged a self-injury act to reveal it?”
“?”
Listening to their speculation, Qin Yu questioned reality. “Damn it, stop guessing… I didn’t plot anything… it was stolen!”
“Beast, I’ll butcher you today.”
Kui An raged.
Yuan Yuan clung to his arm. “Benefactor, Yu’er was framed; otherwise why did only the scripture leak and not the cultivation manual? Isn’t that right?”
“Exactly.” Qin Yu’s eyes lit up and he echoed, “Father, if I really meant to betray you, why didn’t I leak the cultivation method too?”
“Hm?”
Kui An’s expression shifted.
He looked rough, but he was meticulous; otherwise he could never have become a Prince with just one technique.
That proved he was powerful and shrewd.
In this capital full of hidden currents, top experts were forced to pick sides, yet he stayed independent.
That alone showed courage and wisdom.
Seeing hesitation flash across Kui An’s face, Yuan Yuan lowered her voice and said, “Benefactor, I’ve already given you my body; I might soon carry your child… at a time like this, how could Yu’er betray you?”
…
Kui An glanced at Yuan Yuan, then subconsciously at her belly.
For a man without children, the word “child” stirred his heart.
If he killed Qin Yu now, Yuan Yuan would resent him, and Kui An didn’t want that.
Yet the scripture matter was grave; he had to know the truth. “You say someone knocked you out and stole the Golden Vajra Scripture… who was it?”
“Father, you believe me?”
Qin Yu almost cried.
Kui An’s willingness to hear the story meant his anger had cooled.
Even if everyone later learned his mother belonged to Kui An, that was easier to accept than before.
Seeing Qin Yu about to escape punishment, Wang Teng whispered to Ning Bei, “The Crap King’s too lucky; is the Prince really sparing him?”
“Don’t rush.”
Ning Bei smiled.
Spotting figures rushing over, he curved his lips. “The real show is just starting.”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh… As Qin Yu defended himself, a group arrived uninvited.
Everyone looked up to see powerful figures from the Prince’s estate led by Yu Xuan and Yu Tong.
“Quite the lively scene.”
Yu Xuan gave Kui An a meaningful look and smiled. “I heard your Golden Vajra Scripture leaked. What, you came to punish someone?”
…
Kui An’s mouth twitched and he sneered. “So it’s you making all this noise. Yu Tong, what are you doing here?”
“Kui An, you won’t kill Qin Yu today.”
Yu Tong spoke lightly, yet his tone left no doubt.
Qin Yu: “???”
“What do you mean?” Kui An frowned, looking from Qin Yu to Yu Xuan. “Are you here to shield him?”
At that moment, Yu Xuan walked up to Qin Yu and held out a hand.
“?”
Qin Yu was utterly baffled.
He hadn’t expected Yu Xuan to protect him.
Was it because he exposed Xu Yunyang’s scheme last time and gained Yu Xuan’s favor?
Had they come to help now?
Thinking so, Qin Yu shot a provocative look at Ning Bei and laughed inwardly. “Ning Bei, you really did me a huge favor!”
“Ha, your scheme to smear me ended up helping me and even made the Little Prince remember my kindness!”
Qin Yu almost burst out laughing.
Happiness came so suddenly it felt unreal.
“Little Prince!”
Excited, Qin Yu grabbed Yu Xuan’s offered hand.
Before he could speak, Yu Xuan flung his hand away in disgust. “The manual?”
“The manual? What manual?”
Qin Yu’s smile froze.
Yu Xuan’s eyes turned cold. “Are you kidding me? Didn’t you write saying you’d trade the Golden Vajra Scripture’s cultivation manual for my protection from Kui An and a place in the Prince’s estate? Now you ask ‘what manual’? Do you want to die?”
“We only came because of your letter,” Yu Tong added, arching a brow. “Didn’t you say your mother was violated by Kui An and you couldn’t swallow the humiliation?”
“?”
Qin Yu felt as if lightning struck; he was completely stunned.
No… he had never written such a letter!
