The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign-Chapter 56 - 55: I’ll say it again, scram!

If it had been before this, Zhou Yihang would have undoubtedly flown into a rage upon hearing the command to "get out."

Qin Fan, a disgraced outcast of the Qin family, a pathetic loser, had repeatedly used that single word to humiliate him. This was absolutely intolerable!

So what if his current status was all thanks to Qin Chu? Just as his daughter said, Qin Chu was merely a booster rocket in his life! Even without Qin Chu, with his golden potential, it was only a matter of time before he shone brightly!

Yes, not only did Zhou Xueman think this way, but Zhou Yihang did as well. It has to be said that the logic of all ingrates under the sun is seemingly identical.

But no matter how ungrateful he was, Zhou Yihang had managed to achieve his current glorious status. How could he have reached such heights without a shrewd and cunning heart? So, when faced with Qin Fan’s command, he felt not anger, but panic.

He was stunned that even a revered figure like Lai Zhuge had to lower himself and respectfully call Qin Fan "Mr. Qin." He was terrified that even Ye Jizong, a Governor of the region, had to treat Qin Fan with humility.

Under these circumstances, what did that reveal?

Qin Fan was no simple man. He was extraordinary, unfathomably so!

Zhou Yihang was not a fool. He now understood that Qin Fan was no longer the cowardly good-for-nothing they had once looked down upon. Although he didn’t know what opportunities Qin Fan had encountered to undergo such a radical transformation, from his perspective as a businessman, he cared about the results, not the process.

At this moment, he was filled with regret. He regretted not only his recent words and actions but even more so, proposing to annul the engagement.

Someone whom even Master Lai and Governor Ye Jizong treated with such humility... was unworthy of his daughter? A toad lusting after a swan? What a joke for the ages! If anyone was unworthy, it was his daughter who was trying to climb above her station!

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Regardless, Zhou Yihang knew that his image in Qin Fan’s eyes was now utterly contemptible. Yet, his shameless and utterly unprincipled heart began to stir once more. Seeing the deference Qin Fan commanded from Lai Zhuge and Ye Jizong, he felt a sudden impulse to salvage their relationship.

"Xiao Fan, I’m sorry. Uncle Zhou has wronged your family! Uncle Zhou grew arrogant in his success! Xiao Fan, I’ve failed your father, and I’ve failed you! As for Xueman’s matter, Xueman’s matter—"

Here, Zhou Yihang gritted his teeth. "No matter what Xueman thinks, Uncle Zhou will honor the original marriage contract! I will spare no effort to bring you two together! Xiao Fan, please, give Uncle Zhou a chance to atone, won’t you?"

After speaking, Zhou Yihang looked at Qin Fan with sincere eyes, then raised a hand and slapped himself hard across the face.

"Xiao Fan," he declared, "this slap is for my ingratitude!"

SLAP!

He struck himself again.

"And this one is for my prejudice against you!"

"I will say it one last time. Get out!" Qin Fan’s face was grim as he spoke again, cutting through Zhou Yihang’s performance as he was raising his hand for another slap.

This command to "get out" made Zhou Yihang’s calves tremble uncontrollably. He had originally thought that since Qin Fan was still a teenager, his melodramatic act would at least stir some emotion, even if it didn’t immediately repair their relationship.

But he didn’t realize that if one were to count their years on this earth, he was countless generations junior to Qin Fan. How dare he stage such a transparent, self-serving act? How utterly laughable!

"Xiao Fan!" Zhou Yihang’s face was pale and his voice trembled, but he wasn’t ready to give up. He felt as if he had returned to the early days of his career, groveling for business deals.

"Mr. Qin told you to leave, so hurry up and go!" Ye Jizong finally spoke, his expression extremely displeased.

Faced with Ye Jizong’s grim look and harsh tone, Zhou Yihang’s entire body shuddered.

"Xiao—"

He started to speak, but his voice died in his throat. Gritting his teeth, he took a deep breath. Filled with desolate panic, he slowly began to walk away on trembling legs.

Spirit Communication Grass? Wealth and misfortune? His mind was in shambles; he couldn’t spare a thought for any of it. He was completely consumed by terror! If Qin Fan decided to retaliate, either Lai Zhuge or Ye Jizong alone could obliterate everything he had struggled his entire life to build! Besides, could someone who commanded such humility from those two giants truly be limited to this circle? Impossible!

Zhou Yihang regretted everything, so much so that he no longer had the capacity to think about his company’s precarious situation.

"Master Yi, isn’t it? Will you roll yourself out, or do you need me to help you?" Barely sparing Zhou Yihang a glance, Qin Fan shook his head contemptuously before looking down at Yi Tianji with a sneer.

"I... I’ll roll myself out—"

Glancing nervously at Lai Zhuge, Yi Tianji ignored the stinging pain in his face. Shivering, he scrambled and tumbled away.

"Mr. Qin, since everything is resolved, we won’t disturb your leisure any further. Master Lai and I will take our leave," Ye Jizong said with a sheepish chuckle after Zhou Yihang and Yi Tianji had gone.

"Go on," Qin Fan said with an indifferent wave, unconcerned by their unexpected arrival.

However, just as Ye Jizong turned to leave with Lai Zhuge, the old master, who was looking off to the side, suddenly froze. A look of unexpected delight blossomed on his face.

"Spirit Communication Grass! There’s actually Spirit Communication Grass here!" he shouted in a fit of ecstasy, striding excitedly toward the Spirit Communication Grass.

"Stop!" Qin Fan commanded sharply, his brow furrowed.

Lai Zhuge stopped dead in his tracks. Ye Jizong also froze, baffled.

What in the world is going on?

"You cannot touch that grass," Qin Fan stated calmly, licking his lips as the two men turned to look at him with confusion.

"Mr. Qin, what... what do you mean by that?" Lai Zhuge asked, dumbfounded.

"I’ve already claimed all this grass. It’s that simple," Qin Fan replied.

Claimed it?

Lai Zhuge was completely baffled. Since when could the vegetation on Horse Hoof Ridge be claimed by someone? Judging by its growth, this Spirit Communication Grass has clearly been here for a very long time. And now he says he’s claimed it? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Although Lai Zhuge suspected this was just an excuse, he didn’t dare challenge Qin Fan.

"Master Lai, what are the wondrous uses of this Spirit Communication Grass?" Ye Jizong, unable to contain his curiosity, stepped forward and asked.

"Governor Ye, according to ancient texts, Spirit Communication Grass has immense uses in a Yang dwelling. Evil Exorcism is its most basic function, but more importantly, it can also nourish and cultivate qi—be it the qi of officialdom, wealth, or posterity. It can even alter a family’s destiny! The ancient texts hold the Spirit Communication Grass in extremely high and rare esteem! Very few people even know of its existence!" Lai Zhuge explained excitedly.

Nourish and cultivate qi? Qin Fan had not actually known about that particular property. Hearing this, he finally understood Zhou Yihang’s true intentions for coming here.

"Mr. Qin, could you possibly spare a little for me?" Lai Zhuge asked nervously, turning to Qin Fan with a look of desperate hope.

Spare some? I don’t even have enough for myself.

A small smirk touched Qin Fan’s lips as he answered flatly, "No."
