"You're not qualified to know the reason!"

Wang Bei looked coldly at Sun Qi for a moment and then respectfully said to Qin Heng, "Young Master Qin, our Family Head is already waiting for you in the car. He came specifically to escort you to your plane; please take his car."

Family Head!? The Family Head of Wang Bei!?

Qian Zhenghai immediately felt a jolt of shock, disbelief spreading across his face as he looked at Qin Heng, and then at Wang Bei. He exclaimed in horror, "Wang, Butler Wang, your... your Family Head is...?"

The people around were also startled, visibly frightened. They couldn't help but stand up and look towards the black Audi parked in front of the bus.

Butler Wang came from that car, seemingly from the driver's seat! And his Family Head was also inside!? If Butler Wang was the butler to that influential person, then his Family Head would be...

Heavens! How is this possible!!

Everyone on the bus turned their gaze to Qin Heng, who still sat there, calm and composed! Utterly unmoved!

Too powerful!!

"No!!" Sun Qi started wailing, trembling all over as he cried out, "Impossible! Impossible! How could *that person* personally come to send him off? This... this little brat! It's impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"

"We're done for! We're truly done for now!" Sun Biao was completely dumbfounded. His sturdy frame collapsed to the ground, his face etched with despair, devoid of his usual ferocity.

"Sun Qi." Wang Bei tossed an investigation notice onto Sun Qi and said coldly, "This is your investigation notice and your letter of dismissal. Take a good look at them and await the family's investigation."

To be investigated by the family, to have to report at a designated time and place, to confess everything! This meant Sun Qi's life was over! Utterly over!

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening!?" Sun Qi's face was filled with confusion, his eyes listless. Suddenly, he crawled to Qin Heng's feet and kowtowed forcefully, THUD! THUD! He cried out, "Young Master Qin! I'm sorry! Young Master Qin! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have offended you!!"

He was consumed by regret. He wished he could turn back time, return to the past, and treat this Young Master Qin as if he were worshipping an Immortal! But there's no medicine for regret in this world!

Qin Heng didn't even glance at him. He stood up, took Song Ningran by the hand, and smiled. "Let's go. This bus is indeed a bit uncomfortable."

"No! You can't leave!" Sun Qi knelt on the ground, trying to grasp Qin Heng's legs. But he couldn't keep up with Qin Heng's movement and ended up lunging towards Song Ningran instead.

BANG!

Qin Heng kicked Sun Qi squarely in the face, sending him flying backward down the bus's center aisle. He crashed into the empty seats at the very back.

THUD!

He fell to the floor, his face bloody. He was in extreme misery, trembling violently and curled up in agony.

Yet even so, he still cried out desperately, "Please, Young Master Qin! I beg you, don't let the family investigate me! Please!"

His spirit had completely collapsed.

Qin Heng ignored him and walked off the bus with Song Ningran in tow.

Wang Bei and Qian Zhenghai hurriedly followed.

The people on the bus were utterly dumbfounded for a moment before they reacted, turning their attention to Sun Biao and Sun Qi.

"Damn it! This 'Brother Biao' bullied me, and he bullied my kid too! Motherfucker! You're finished now!!"

"That's right! My family too! This time, we're going to vent all our anger!!"

THUMP! WHACK! BAM!

The people on the bus actually started ganging up on Sun Biao and Sun Qi! The two didn't dare fight back at all.

"Easy now, easy! Don't kill them!" the bus driver yelled, squeezing through the crowd. "Watch where you're hitting! Aim for places that won't be fatal!"

As he spoke, THUMP! THUMP! he also landed a couple of kicks, cursing, "Son of a bitch! You owe me so much bus fare, now you're gonna cough it all up!"

「...」

"Young Master Qin!" Seeing Qin Heng get off the bus, Mo Cheng hurried over with a smile. "Are you alright?"

"Hahaha! Don't worry, Young Master Mo. Young Master Qin is definitely fine," Wang Bei laughed heartily, even patting Mo Cheng on the shoulder. "Young man, not bad. You've got potential."

Mo Cheng's face flushed red with excitement; he was incredibly thrilled.

This important figure from the provincial capital, who wouldn't ordinarily give him a second glance, was now treating him with such warmth. It surely wasn't because of Mo Cheng himself. It could only be because of Young Master Qin!!

Earlier, Mo Cheng hadn't gone onto the bus with Qian Zhenghai simply because he wasn't worried about Qin Heng at all.

In his eyes, a mere butler couldn't possibly cause any harm to Qin Heng, who was like an Immortal.

「That night.」 Qin Heng had conjured fierce flames with his bare hands, burning Mo Cheng to ashes, then seized his soul and remolded his body. Such divine, almost legendary feats—this was Mo Cheng's personal experience!

「At this moment,」 the surrounding petty hoodlums were so frightened they had all fallen to their knees, not daring to move an inch.

They knew. This time, they had definitely provoked someone powerful! The chief butler of that prominent figure from the provincial capital had come and was showing such reverence to this youth—it was simply unheard of!

Then, an even more shocking scene unfolded.

As Qin Heng and Wang Bei approached the black Audi, the front passenger door suddenly opened. Out stepped a middle-aged man in a suit, his hair slightly graying.

"You must be Immortal Qin. It's a true pleasure to meet you," the middle-aged man said, bowing very respectfully to Qin Heng. His demeanor was as humble as a believer seeing their Heavenly God.

"Mm," Qin Heng simply nodded in acknowledgment.

Wang Bei immediately felt his scalp tingle. He almost blurted out to tell Qin Heng that this middle-aged man was no ordinary person!

This was the Family Head of the most powerful family in the Qi Lu region!

Then, he froze, gaping, feeling as if his entire body had stiffened.

He watched as the middle-aged man personally opened the car door and said respectfully to Qin Heng, "Young Master Qin, Ms. Song, please get in. I'll take you to the airport."

Opening a door was always a task for someone of lower status! This was clearly no longer a normal attempt to curry favor; he was completely placing himself on a lower level. This middle-aged man was one of the top figures in Qi Lu Province!!

Witnessing this scene, the petty hoodlums nearly wet themselves in fright and almost collapsed on the spot. They stared at the middle-aged man incredulously.

"Holy shit! Isn't that the big shot? I've seen him on the TV news!!"

"My God! Even that big shot is so respectful to this kid! We're done for, totally done for! How did we end up provoking someone like this?!"

Actually, Wang Bei himself was flabbergasted when he saw the middle-aged man get out of the car. He even found it hard to believe! Normally, it was always others who opened the car door for this man. Now, he had personally stepped out to open the door for this "Immortal Qin," who looked no older than seventeen or eighteen! Incredible!! Although the Family Head had previously informed him that this Young Master Qin's status was extraordinarily prestigious and that he must not be slighted in any way, Wang Bei had never imagined it would be to such an extent! He had thought his own respectful attitude towards Qin Heng was adequate, fulfilling the Family Head's instructions. But now it seemed the status of this "Immortal Qin" was even more formidable than it appeared on the surface!

The title "Immortal Qin" made Wang Bei involuntarily think of the elderly Immortal on the peak of Mount Tai. "Could this youth be a disciple of Xu He?" he wondered. The more Wang Bei considered it, the more plausible it seemed, and he nodded inwardly. Only that would explain it! Only then would the Family Head be so reverent! Only then would he call him Immortal Qin! This was actually the Family Head showing his stance towards that elderly Immortal, Xu He! That elderly Immortal was a grand figure respected even by the leaders of the world's top nations, a Great Grandmaster who had lived for over ninety years!!

「However, just at this moment,」

Qin Heng suddenly spoke, glancing at the middle-aged man. He said indifferently, "Xu He has done well; he has shown consideration. When you return, you can tell him that I will permit him to make one request of me. As for whether I grant that request, that will depend on my inclination. Also, I won't be taking your car. The airport is only about a kilometer from here; there's no need for the hassle."

Upon hearing this, Wang Bei was utterly stunned.

That... didn't sound like something a disciple would say to their master at all! It sounded more like a senior addressing a junior!!
