Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Sooner or later, you will kneel down and beg me (5th Update)

Xue An smiled, knowing that General Lin was referring to the Flowing Light Sword he had given him.
“As for swords, I’m not accustomed to using them, because I only believe that true hierarchy exists under the strength of one’s fists.”
This statement, brimming with murderous intent, caused many to slightly change color.
Especially An Chang, who inconspicuously took two steps back.
“No wonder Mr. Xue could achieve such a cultivation level at this age; this heart realm of his is something even I cannot match!” General Lin exclaimed.
At that moment, Chen Xiuhe chuckled, “What of it? Despite such achievements, there are still those who are unsatisfied, insisting on casting him out. Isn’t that laughable?”
Chen Xiuhe’s blade-sharp words pointed directly at the An Family.
Matriarch An’s face turned iron-blue, and An Xue and the others also wore expressions of embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
Only An Ying’s gaze flickered, followed by a soft sigh.
He had anticipated that today’s birthday celebration would not be peaceful.
Yet he still hadn’t expected Xue An’s influence to be so astonishing.
One was the Chen Family, among the top ranks of Zhongdu’s wealthy households; the other was the undisputed leading figure in the military.
The two major forces had come together.
This was practically akin to directly slapping Matriarch An’s face.
General Lin was momentarily taken aback, “Oh? There are people who are so short-sighted? In that case, Mr. Xue, how about joining our military forces? You may choose any position you like!”
Hiss!
The condition proposed by General Lin made many suck in a breath of cold air.
Choose any position?
Wouldn’t that mean skyrocketing to the rank of a colonel or something similar?
Xue An smiled but did not respond to General Lin’s words; instead, he walked over to the An Family members.
An Xue’s complexion stiffened, and he said in alarm, “Xue An, what are you trying to do? I’ll have you know, General Lin is here.”
Xue An indifferently said, “I initially did not plan to spare any of you, as each one of you deserves death. But now, I have suddenly changed my mind.”
“Instead of killing you, it’s better to let you live first. I’ve said that one day you will kneel and beg me!”
After speaking, Xue An turned to smile at An Yan, “Wife, let’s go.”
General Lin followed, and Xue An and his companions all left the hall.
Only Chen Xiuhe walked at the very end. He flashed a smile at the ashen-faced Jin Xiurong, “Matriarch An, to be honest, you have played an undeniable role in reducing the once top-tier noble An Family to this state. And allow me to remind you, it’s no longer over a hundred years ago.”
“Do not think that just because your ancestors were part of the Imperial Family, you are still some noble lady of Qianqing. You are not the Empress Dowager!”
With that, Chen Xiuhe left with a cold laugh.
Jin Xiurong’s cheeks alternated between pale and flushed with the sting of ridicule.
After all, Chen Xiuhe was right—her maternal family descended from a side branch of the Imperial Family during Qianqing and later changed their surname to Jin.
She had always taken pride in this fact, and in her daily life, she imitated the Empress Dowager who had once held sway over the government.
Xue An and the others were gone.
The hall seemed empty and hollow.
Chi Changge watched An Yan’s retreating figure with a devastated soul, feeling as if something inside him had shattered.
He had been wanting to rush out and confront her.
But as soon as Chen Xiuhe and General Lin appeared, his courage faltered.
Sure, the Chi Family was not bad, but they could not afford to provoke the Chen Family, nor could they provoke General Lin!
So, he could only watch from a distance.
Watch this man, whom he initially looked down upon, sitting on an equal footing with these upper-class big shots.
This made Chi Changge realize.
He had lost.
He was utterly defeated.
“Brother, let’s go,” Chi Weiyang said softly.
Chi Changge nodded absentmindedly.
