Chapter 337: Chapter 337: The Moon Dyes the Qingfeng River (First Update)
“I’m guessing he’s a newly debuted movie star!” someone said.
Amidst the crowd’s amazement and chatter, Xue An looked down at An Yan with a smile, “Wife, how do you like this place?”
Wife?
Could it be that these two are also a couple, here to take wedding photos?
The crowd was somewhat dumbfounded.
However, An Yan nodded, “The river scenery is really beautiful! Eh, what’s up with that weird little hill?”
An Yan pointed to a distant hill that seemed to be sliced in half by something.
Xue An smiled, “That hill… there was a foolish fellow who caused trouble in Beijiang, and I cut it in half with one strike of my sword!”
What Xue An mentioned was an incident when a member of the Yu Family came to Beijiang wielding a sword and ended up being annihilated by him with a single strike.
But his words took on a different tone in many people’s ears.
For instance, the man from Zhongdu sneered upon hearing this, “Really blowing your own trumpet without even drafting a story, you cut it with a sword? Why not say you smashed it with a fist?”
Xue An’s brow furrowed slightly, but before he could speak.
The accompanying Hei King rushed over.
“What do you think you’re doing? I’ll have you know, I’m a businessman from Zhongdu, if you dare touch a single finger of mine, watch out or I…” The man looked at the approaching Hei King with some fear and shouted.
Hei King couldn’t be bothered to exchange words with such riffraff and simply lifted the man by the collar, hoisting him up.
With a flick of his hand, he threw the man into the Qingfeng River as if discarding trash.
The river water was turbulent, and since it was already autumn, the chill was bone-piercing.
After falling in, the man gulped down two big mouthfuls of water, then, out of sheer panic, grabbed onto a tree root on the bank, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t climb up and had no choice but to scream for help.
No one dared to move, including the woman; she too was shivering all over.
Xue An said indifferently, “Hei King!”
“Sir!”
“A lesson is enough, let it be. A person like him dying would only pollute the Qingfeng River!”
“Understood!”
Hei King stood by the river bank, reached out, and pulled the man back up.
This time, the man stood on the spot, drenched and shivering, not daring to move an inch, only looking at Hei King and Xue An with eyes full of extreme fear.
“Next time, be clear who you’re speaking to before opening your mouth, or it could easily lead to a short life!” Xue An calmly stated.
The man nodded furiously, “Yes, yes! But may I ask who you are, sir?”
In his heart, the man still harbored a thought of revenge, thinking that as long as he knew who the other was, he would figure out a way to get even once he returned.
Xue An’s smile was faint, “You’re from Zhongdu, correct?”
“Yes!”
“Well, if the circles you move in are high enough, you should know my name. I am Xue An!”
Xue An…
The man repeated the name twice in his head, suddenly shaking all over, then looked at Xue An with incredulity.
“You…you are…?”
Xue An nodded, “Indeed, I am!”
Fear turned the man’s face pale, “I truly had no idea it was you… ”
Xue An waved his hand dismissively; he had no time to listen to such a character’s apologies, “Get lost!”
“Yes!”
The man was overjoyed to be spared and ran off immediately, not even caring for his girlfriend.
It wasn’t until they got into the car that the man shouted, “Hurry, drive away from here!”
Only after the car had left the bank of Qingfeng River did the man finally exhale a breath of relief, collapsing bonelessly into his seat.
His girlfriend, too shaken, asked timidly, “Husband, who was that man? Is he powerful?”
The man started to laugh bitterly, “In Zhongdu, he is an existence akin to Divine Slaughter! All the noble families are prostrate at his feet! Understand?”
The woman trembled all over, her face turning pale, and dared not ask further.
