C271 A Crushing Defeat!
C271 A Crushing Defeat!
Although the two sides were both Martial Cultivator's men, the biggest difference between them was that Koo Beichen's army had been honed to such a state through thousands of soldiers.
Although the strength of these Martial Cultivator s of the Nangong Family were just barely passable, when living in peace, most of the well-behaved Martial Cultivator s did not have much actual combat experience, and would definitely lose if they fought.
If he wanted to have this kind of power, Koo Beichen could just stay in the Southern Palace and lead thousands of troops to become the next emperor.
But he did come back.
It wasn't for anything else. To Koo Beichen, the most important thing was his family.
What he wanted was to be strong on the basis that he had his own family and was able to protect his own family.
When he was still a small soldier in the army, he had fought with his life on the line just to protect himself.
Some people were strong for the sake of killing others, while some people were strong for the sake of protecting others. It was obvious that Koo Beichen did this because of the latter.
He already had his own wife and children, so Koo Beichen swore to protect Zhang Yutine and Qiqi well and never let them get hurt.
As for the other things, they were just worldly possessions to Koo Beichen, so it wasn't important anymore.
Koo Beichen, who was sitting at a table, was noticed by some people around him. He was emitting an unprecedented murderous aura.
That person felt cold all over and subconsciously looked at Koo Beichen.
Koo Beichen showed a gentle smile to Qiqi. He gently caressed Qiqi's hair behind her ears. She looked like an ordinary father.
The man looked away in bewilderment, wondering if he had been mistaken.
"This is probably going to end soon."
Yu Ling looked ahead in a daze. Although Nangong Shaan was not far from her, his eyes didn't reflect Nangong Shaan's reflection at all. Instead, they were a bit dull.
Yu Ling couldn't help but suddenly feel a huge sense of emptiness and loss in her heart.
He suddenly couldn't resist the urge to cry. With the veil covering his face, two lines of tears fell from his eyes and slid down his cheeks to his chin. They fell onto his wedding dress, hiding in layers of wrinkles.
Han Yuanyuan was sitting not far away, looking at Yu Ling with worry. She seemed to be restless.
Koo Beichen rubbed Qiqi's small head and instructed her in a low voice.
"Go, Qiqi."
Qiqi nodded slightly, then raised her head and smiled, a crafty look flashing across her face.
Nangong Shaan's eyes couldn't help but flash with a sense of satisfaction and surprise when he saw the woman who was so beautiful that she wasn't a mortal.
Before the engagement, he hadn't paid attention to Yu Ling, and never imagined that she would be so beautiful.
The host's voice rang out.
"Please exchange your engagement rings!"
Nangong Shaan took out an expensive looking ring box from his pocket as if he was pretending to be a gentleman and handed it over to Yu Ling.
"Come, this is for you. Let's see if you like it."
When Nangong Shaan said this, he was obviously very confident. Although he seemed to be able to suppress his arrogance, it was obvious that he was pretending to be calm.
As the pride of this generation, Nangong Shaan was naturally proud.
She was usually modest, but in fact his conceit was buried deep in his bones.
Yu Ling, on the other hand, looked at him blankly. Her eyes seemed hollow, and she didn't give him a response.
Nangong Shaan frowned and was slightly unhappy.
"Yu Ling, how did you …"
Before Nangong Shaan could finish his sentence, a girl wearing a pretty wedding dress that was very similar to Yu Ling's rushed up and hugged her.
"Mom!"
A clear and tender voice resounded throughout the entire banquet site.
The entire banquet suddenly became silent, so silent that one could almost hear a pin drop.
In the next moment, Nangong Shaan's face immediately turned green after hearing what Qiqi had said.
The entire banquet was in an uproar, and in an instant, it was a complete mess.
"Fuck, what's wrong with that little girl? Why does she rush up and hug the girl and call her mother?"
There were also some people who had a dazed look on their faces.
"It can't be, has Nangong Shaan been given a chance?"
Yu Ling also reacted in an instant as she looked at Qiqi's little fellow in shock.
"Qiqi, why are you here?!"
Nangong Shaan clenched his teeth and his expression was a bit cold.
"What does this little girl have to do with you?"
Han Yuanyuan was also dumbfounded, and she stood rooted to the spot in shock.
"Isn't that Qiqi? "Could it be …"
Han Yuanyuan turned her head to look in the direction of Koo Beichen. However, Koo Beichen was nowhere to be seen.
Han Yuanyuan was anxious and angry. She stomped her feet and started to panic.
"What exactly is going on with Koo Beichen? What exactly is going on?! "
The entire banquet area was in chaos, all the people with Nangong Family had ugly expressions on their faces, as they tried their best to suppress the people at the banquet.
Nangong Shaan stared at Yu Ling with a cold expression. The aura belonging to a top expert suddenly burst forth. Some of the weaker ones or ordinary people were unable to move at all.
"Yu Ling, I want you to explain it to me."
Although Nangong Shaan wasn't interested in women, he was even less interested in women wearing green hats for him.
Yu Ling was also dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. She looked at Nangong Shaan and then at Qiqi, dumbfounded.
Under the impact of Nangong Shaan's aura, Qiqi's face suddenly turned pale.
Yu Ling reacted quickly and tried to protect Qiqi when she was alive. However, his cultivation level wasn't high enough to support her and it was already difficult for him to do so.
Yu Ling immediately turned around and yelled at Nangong Shaan without caring about anything else.
"Don't be so unrestrained, there's still a child!"
Nangong Shaan's face suddenly turned cold. It was a bit cold and unpredictable. He was like an evil ghost that had climbed up from hell. The usual pretentious aura of a gentleman was gone without a trace.
"You dare to talk to me like that? "A bastard from who knows where would be the best if he died!"
Just as Nangong Shaan finished his sentence, another cold voice exploded by his ear. At the same time, a ball of glowing, warm green light enveloped Qiqi's entire body.
"Say that again?"
Qiqi's little face regained its rosiness.
A figure appeared in front of Nangong Shaan and blocked Yu Ling and Qiqi.
Qiqi looked at Koo Beichen in surprise.
"Daddy!"
