Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Ya Ya felt the many gazes on her, snorted in dissatisfaction, and her ears perked up warily.

Xiao Wancheng's smile froze instantly, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He hurriedly said, "Sect Leader Qin is joking! Your status is noble and your strength is outstanding. How can you compare to a nobody like Mu Renzhi? The fact that you brought this Tushan fox demon with you is a different story. There must be a deeper meaning behind it!"

"The deeper meaning? It's nothing more than that Qin's fist is hard enough that Xiao Wancheng wouldn't dare to provoke him."

Qin Chuan sneered, his gaze piercing Xiao Wancheng like an ice pick:

"So-called laws, so-called ironclad rules, are nothing but tools you use to manipulate the weak in the face of absolute power. Am I right, Lord Xiao?"

Xiao Wancheng's face flushed red and then turned pale from the harsh words, but he dared not retaliate and could only force a smile, saying, "Sect Leader Qin, you flatter me...you flatter me..."

"You're exaggerating?" Qin Chuan stopped looking at him and turned his gaze to Yang Yifang, whose face was ashen, and Mu Renzhi, who looked desperate: "I am not here to stop Lord Xiao from carrying out his 'official duties'."

Xiao Wancheng was taken aback, somewhat confused.

"On the contrary," Qin Chuan changed the subject, "I'm here to help you, Lord Xiao."

"Help...help me?" Xiao Wancheng was completely dumbfounded.

“That’s right. Lord Xiao’s reason for arresting people and interrogating them is simply to find out the truth about Mu Renzhi’s release of the demons and to see if he colluded with the demon race and betrayed the human race. Interrogation is time-consuming and laborious, and may even lead to forced confessions, which would damage the ‘reputation’ of Lord Xiao and the Obsidian Inspector.”

Qin Chuan nodded, his tone matter-of-fact:

"I have a simple spell here, quite convenient, that can directly extract fragments of the person's memory about this matter, manifest them, and make them public. Right and wrong will be clear at a glance, wouldn't that save Lord Xiao the trouble of interrogation? Isn't this helping you?"

"Extracting memories? Manifesting them publicly?!"

Xiao Wancheng's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed:

"How can this be allowed? Such a technique of reading people's minds..."

"Is Lord Xiao afraid to see, or afraid that everyone will see the truth?"

Qin Chuan didn't give him a chance to object at all. Before he finished speaking, his right hand had already been raised with lightning speed, pointing directly at the wooden man!

A gentle yet irresistible white light instantly enveloped the wooden man.

The wooden figure trembled, its eyes momentarily losing focus.

At the same time, a light curtain resembling water waves suddenly unfolded in the air above the very center of the wedding hall!

Within the light screen, a scene from a memory is clearly presented:

In the deep tunnels of the mining area, a panicked mountain demon with scratches on his body wandered in, trembling with fear.

When the wooden figure discovered it, it did not attack. Instead, it observed the wooden figure for a moment, and after confirming that it posed no threat, it showed reluctance in its eyes. Finally, it carefully led the wooden figure to a secluded exit and let it go.

The entire process was brief, with no communication or signs of collusion.

The image is clear and there is no possibility of it being faked.

The truth has come to light!

"I see……"

"It really is a mountain demon that has wandered in by mistake..."

"Captain Mu... is kind-hearted..."

"What kind of betrayal is this?"

The guests were buzzing with discussion, their gazes toward Xiao Wancheng and the Obsidian Inspector filled with skepticism and disdain.

Xiao Wancheng's face turned from green to black, like the bottom of a pot.

His carefully planned attack turned into a complete joke thanks to Qin Chuan's miraculous yet unreasonable "help"!

With irrefutable evidence, he had no further grounds to arrest anyone.

"Sect Leader Qin...impressive skills!"

Xiao Wancheng spat out a few words through gritted teeth, glared venomously at Qin Chuan, and suddenly waved his hand:

"Let's go!"

He led a group of equally grim-faced Obsidian Guards and slunk away from the Yang residence.

Chapter 20 The Way Resides in the World, Passed Down Through Generations

The storm seemed to have subsided.

However, the atmosphere inside the wedding hall plummeted to freezing point.

After Xiao Wancheng's outburst and witnessing the memories of the wooden man releasing the demon, Yang Yifang felt utterly humiliated. His hatred for the demon race and his disappointment in his daughter's choice surged within him.

He looked at his daughter in her wedding dress and the kneeling wooden figure, his voice cold and resolute:

"Mu Renzhi! Your release of demons may be understandable, but it still violates the taboo of the Yang family! The Yang family cannot tolerate a son-in-law who has ties with demons! This marriage is off!"

Yang Yan was struck dumb and cried out in anguish.

Mokujin Nao was ashen-faced, his lips trembling as he couldn't utter a word.

Looking at her father's cold and heartless face, and then at her desperate and helpless lover beside her, Yang Yan felt a surge of grief, anger, and despair.

She suddenly raised her hand and ripped off the heavy phoenix crown from her head!

The exquisite phoenix crown fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound, just like her broken heart at that moment.

"Fine! Well done, the Yang family can't tolerate this!"

Yang Yan was in tears, but her voice carried an unprecedented resolve:

"If Mu Renzhi can't get into your Yang family, then I, Yang Yan... will get into the Mu family's door today!"

She reached out and firmly grasped the wooden figure's icy hand, then, facing the assembled guests, she said resolutely:

"From this day forward, I, Yang Yan, will have no further connection with the Yang family! I was born a member of the Mu family, and I will die a member of the Mu family!"

"You...you! You wretched creature!!"

Yang Yifang was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Yang Yan, then his vision went black and he almost fainted.

The father and daughter publicly broke off their relationship!

A joyous wedding ended in such a tragic way.

The hall was filled with guests, and there was complete silence.

Only Yang Yan's suppressed sobs and Mu Renzhi's painful whimpers sounded particularly jarring in the silence.

Qin Chuan watched this scene quietly, his expression calm and undisturbed.

Tu Shan Ya Ya was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that she opened her mouth wide and even forgot to drink her wine. She looked at Yang Yan, then at Yang Yifang who was trembling with anger, and finally looked up at Qin Chuan with a blank expression and a hint of sadness on her face.

Inside the wedding hall, the red silk was dazzling, but there was no longer any joy; only a chilling sense of despair and sorrow permeated the air.

Yang Yifang had his back to his daughter, his body trembling slightly with anger and pain, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

The guests were silent, no one dared to utter a sound, and no one dared to step forward to offer comfort.

Just as the suffocating silence was about to solidify, a calm voice rang out again, breaking the stillness and instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"Miss Yang Yan."

Qin Chuan's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

He walked slowly to the newlyweds who had just been abandoned by their families and whose futures were uncertain, his gaze falling on Yang Yan's slightly protruding belly.

It was the fruit of their love, which existed before they got married.

"Judging from the child in your womb, he possesses extraordinary talent and hidden spiritual potential; he is truly a rough gem." Qin Chuan's tone carried an undeniable certainty. "I wonder if you two would be willing to let this child become a disciple of my Qingyun Sect?"

These words were like a boulder thrown into still water!

"what?!"

"Sect Leader Qin... wants to take on a disciple?"

"Take...take the child in Yang Yan's belly?"

"This...this is..."

The guests, who had just been immersed in the sorrow of the father-daughter rift, were instantly stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Yang Yan suddenly raised her head, a look of disbelief flashing in her tear-filled eyes.

She was incredibly intelligent and instantly understood the immense protective intent behind Qin Chuan's actions!

He severed ties with the Yang family, enraging his father who cut off all relations; he incurred the wrath of Xiao Wancheng, while the Obsidian Inspector lurked like a venomous snake in the shadows; Mu Renzhi was of lowly status and had just been branded with the stigma of "releasing demons"...

The couple, along with their unborn child, were like three lambs to the slaughter in this world where the Daoist Alliance families were deeply entrenched and fraught with danger. They could be crushed at any moment!

Qin Chuan's words of accepting disciples at this moment are like a protective umbrella that covers the sky and the sun for them!

Becoming Qin Chuan's disciple, even if he is not yet born, means that the three of them are now bound together with this top human expert and the head of the Qingyun Sect!

Anyone who wants to mess with them should think twice before trying to withstand Qin Chuan's merciless blade!

The overwhelming joy and gratitude washed away the sorrow in Yang Yan's heart like a warm current.

Without hesitation, she pulled the still-dazed wooden figure to her knees before Qin Chuan with a thud. Her voice trembled with the shock of surviving a close call, yet remained unusually clear and firm:

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader Qin! My husband and I, on behalf of our unborn child, express our deepest gratitude to our master! We beg you, Sect Leader, to bestow a name upon our child!"

Mu Renzhi also realized what was happening and quickly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Sect Leader Qin! Thank you for your great kindness, Master!"

Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

His gaze swept over the guests, each with their own distinct expression, especially the elders of the Dao Alliance who had remained silent throughout the earlier commotion and whose faces still bore expressions of shock and complexity. Finally, his gaze settled on Yang Yan and his wife, and he slowly began to speak:

“Let’s call this child ‘Mie’.”

The moment the word "contempt" was uttered, it was like an icicle falling to the ground, causing the temperature in the entire wedding hall to drop several degrees!

"Mu Mie? Yang Mie?"

"This name...is quite... "

With their keen minds, Mr. Fei and others immediately discerned the overwhelming sharpness contained within the name!

Firstly, it directly targets Xiao Wancheng!

Today's turmoil all stemmed from Xiao Wancheng's slander and framing of Mu Renzhi under the pretext of "releasing demons privately."

Qin Chuan's use of the word "contempt" was a blatant attempt to clear Mu Renzhi's name, and also a strong expression of contempt and disdain for Xiao Wancheng and the Obsidian Inspectors he represented, who used framing tactics!
