I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 760

The group of people was initially laughing out loud when they saw Chen Hao shooting out a mere willow leaf that floated in the air.

But in the next moment, they widened their eyes instantly. The willow leaf suddenly produced a golden halo in the air while getting larger and larger, until it finally transformed into a humongous leaf blade following a loud bang; its chilling and horrifying murderous aura enveloped everyone in an instant!

“What?” cried the seven men with their eyes wide open.

They tried to flee, but it was too late, for the golden halo soon swept through their necks with a few slashes, chopping their heads off from their shoulders with their eyes still wide open in horror!

“Aaahh!” screamed Qin Yong in fright. He was so terrified that he kept gulping out of fear, because these seven men were the best among the master practitioners, yet the young man chopped their heads off with a single blow! Qin Yong would never believe this had he not witnessed the scene with his own eyes.

This was obviously the work of a skillful master!

Scared as he was, Qin Yong couldn’t help but bow deeply to Chen Hao with his heart full of gratitude. “Thank you, master, for saving our lives!”

“Turn around and close your eyes while I heal your sister’s wounds,” instructed Chen Hao flatly without saying anything more. Those seven Inner Energy practitioners were mere jokes for him—he didn’t even consider them worthy of his attention.

Qin Yong turned around obediently; he did not know how this master was going to heal his sister, but it was obvious that the latter’s skills were well beyond his comprehension.

Chen Hao then helped heal Qin Mei’s wounds by secretly opening his Divine Eye.

After treating the pair of siblings, he was ready to leave, as he did not intend to stay any longer for what he regarded as a trivial episode.

Just then, Qin Yong trotted to him and bowed again. “Please wait a minute, master. May I ask your name, so that my family—the Qin Family—can try our best to repay your kindness in the future?”

This man before him was a divine being, an out-of-this-world master who only existed in legends! Even a fool would never let go of the chance to get to know such a divine being, let alone Qin Yong.

“Never mind about my name, nor do I need any repayment from you and your family.” Qin Hao shook his head before adding, “Anyway, since I can see that all of you are Inner Energy practitioners, the Qin Family that you mentioned must be a Hidden Tribe as well, am I right? Oh, and by the way, are you joining the Underground Ceremony as well?”

He asked the question since that was the only possible explanation he could think of. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Qin Yong nodded vigorously at his words. “You’re right, master. The Qin Family is indeed a Hidden Tribe. We used to manage the underground forces within the city of Ji Province but we were forced out of Ji Province after our family had fallen from grace. It used to be us, the Qin Family, who were in charge of organizing such Underground Ceremonies. Who would have expected the Qin Family to end up having to enter the ceremony with a ticket after less than 20 years?”

He then looked at Chen Hao and asked, “Are you joining the Underground Ceremony as well, master? May I ask if you’re some family’s guest or…?”

“I am not anyone’s guest. To be honest with you, I am indeed here to join the Underground Ceremony, but unfortunately, I couldn’t get myself an entrance ticket until now.” Chen Hao smiled faintly.

“Huh? How could that be possible? With your prowess…” Qin Yong couldn’t believe Chen Hao’s reply.

As far as he knew, every single family would crave to make a connection with a master as soon as they knew of his existence, especially a master as divinely as the one before him who had just saved his and his sister’s lives.

These families would even fight with one another over affiliating themselves to such a master, for they could thus strengthen themselves by obtaining many treasures and having a say in controlling various assets. Moreover, a master would be able to protect them in many ways and, above all, permanently establish their status as an untouchable clan that would prosper for generation upon generation!

The way Qin Yong saw it, a skillful master like Chen Hao must have countless families affiliated to him, but little did he expect Chen Hao to have none!

Suddenly, Qin Yong knelt down with a thud. “Master, in that case, may I make a request to you?”

“Huh?” Chen Hao looked at him curiously.

“Master, since you possess such great prowess and have saved my sister and my life, I beg you to become a protector of the Qin Family and our family’s distinguished guest!”

The Qin Family was forced out of the city of Ji Province despite its status as a Hidden Tribe precisely because it lacked a protector.

However, Qin Yong knew very well that there were a few people on Earth who had outranked the Inner Energy practitioners; any family that had such a person as their protector would have their powers enhanced by leaps and bounds.

Judging by the abilities shown by Chen Hao just now, Qin Yong instantly realized that this man was a person far beyond the ranks of the Inner Energy practitioners—a man who could be the future of the Qin Family!

“Distinguished guest?” Chen Hao frowned.

“It means the Qin Family will follow your lead as long as you become our protector!” pleaded Qin Yong.

Chen Hao immediately got what Qin Yong meant. He remembered Lin Jiu, whom he had thought to have lowered himself by staying with the Duan Family until Lin Jiu told him that he was, in fact, the Duan Family’s protector. Well, that was before I killed the entire Duan Family, thought Chen Hao to himself.

It was obvious that the Qin Family wanted him to protect them. Chen Hao was not really interested in such matters himself, but to obtain an entrance ticket, he would definitely need the help of a family; by joining the family, he would be able to give himself a good disguise without interfering with the business that he needed to settle. It would be killing two birds with one stone if he agreed to Qin Yong’s request.

“Okay,” said Chen Hao in agreement. He nodded when the thought occurred to him. Of course, the main reason for him agreeing to Qin Yong’s plea was that he was impressed by the young man’s determination in protecting his sister.

Excited, Qin Yong soon made a call to his family. While they were waiting for his family, Qin Yong then told Chen Hao the full story.

It turned out that Qin Yong brought his sister along to discuss some matters on this day when the group of assassins appeared. As for who sent them, Qin Yong was not sure, but he had a rough idea who that would be.

That would be none other than the Wan Family, the current ruler of the city of Ji Province that chased the Qin Family out 20 years ago. They were able to do this because they had a protector to back them up, a protector whom no one dared to mess with.

Soon, over ten cars arrived at the scene, all of them from the Qin Family of the Hidden Tribes.

Chen Hao decided to follow Qin Yong this time since he thought he had to show some commitment after agreeing to Qin Yong’s request of being the Qin Family’s protector. After all, Lin Jiu should have left while escorting Piaopiao by now, and there weren’t any other matters for him to settle if he went back.

They then arrived at a mansion where the Qin Family were residing temporarily. As soon as the car stopped, a middle-aged woman ran anxiously toward them, asking, “Yong, Mei, are both of you alright?”

This woman was none other than Madam Qin, Qin Yong’s mother.

Meanwhile, there was also a middle-aged man standing at the entrance, his face full of anxiety. Behind him stood a few elders, as well as some other middle-aged men and youngsters. It was obvious that they were all the members of the Qin Family.

“Mom, Dad, we’re fine. Also, it’s all thanks to Master Chen saving our lives, or I wouldn’t be able to return alive to see you again!” said Qin Yong emotionally.

“Oh? Master Chen?” The middle-aged man was surprised. Along with a few elders, they turned to look at Chen Hao in astonishment…
