Chapter 2449: Chapter 451: Who Betrayed Whom?

Hearing Xiao Chen’s firm words, Huang Qiu’er couldn’t help letting out a bitter laugh. "Who can say no to something the Qinghuang Sect wants to do?"

But inside, she felt really comforted.

All these years in the Qinghuang Sect, almost no one ever treated her with a kind face.

Except her adoptive father and mother.

Now there was one more person.

That was actually pretty nice.

Just then, a group of people suddenly rushed into the hall.

"How dare you, Huang Qiu’er, did you tell Xiao Chen everything?!"

"Have you forgotten what the Sect Leader said? Unforgivable!"

The middle‑aged man at the front directly swung a slap toward Huang Qiu’er.

Huang Qiu’er was at least Huang Qingshan’s granddaughter by marriage; in the Qinghuang Sect, could just anyone hit her?

That showed how low this girl’s status was.

Huang Qiu’er was probably already used to it.

Numb to it.

She just stood there, motionless.

Ready to take that slap.

But at that moment, she saw a figure appear in front of her.

He grabbed the man’s hand.

"Xiao Chen!"

Huang Qiu’er froze.

She hadn’t expected Xiao Chen’s reflexes to be this good.

"Bastard, let go of me, you filthy piece of trash!"

The man roared, trying to break free from Xiao Chen.

But it was like being grabbed by the Hulk—searing pain to the bone, completely unable to move an inch.

"She’s under my protection. No one touches her."

Xiao Chen said coldly.

"Bullshit, she’s a disciple of my Qinghuang Sect, I’ll hit her if I feel like it.

What the fuck can you do about it?"

The man was still shouting.

"Ah—!"

Suddenly, he let out a scream.

Crack!

His arm bone snapped on the spot.

The next second—

Xiao Chen kicked him in the knee.

The man dropped uncontrollably to his knees on the ground.

"I said it already, this woman is under my protection.

Whoever dares to hit her, I cripple whoever it is."

Xiao Chen flung the man aside with one hand.

The man hit the ground, screaming in agony, terrified out of his wits.

They only knew that Xiao Chen used to be the King Yama War God.

But in the old days, the King Yama War God wasn’t even at the Inner Strength Phase, right?

How could he be this strong?

"Huang Qiu’er, you’ve got some nerve, actually getting this brat to protect you!"

"Aren’t you afraid of pissing off the Sect Leader and getting him killed on the spot?"

"You traitor to the Qinghuang Sect!"

"You exposed the Qinghuang Sect’s secret—if the Qinghuang Sect gets wiped out, you’ll be the main culprit!"

"Bitch!"

"Selfish cunt!"

...

They didn’t dare curse Xiao Chen, so they all turned their fire on Huang Qiu’er.

Huang Qiu’er was just an ordinary person.

They weren’t afraid of her.

And they were genuinely pissed.

The original plan was to sweet‑talk Xiao Chen and trick him into going back.

Now it was fucked—Xiao Chen knew the truth.

There was no way he’d obediently go back.

In the end, they might have to use force.

What a pain.

These people practically hated Huang Qiu’er down to the bone.

On Huang Qiu’er’s face, there was only coldness and numbness.

Heh, she was selfish?

She was filthy?

The Qinghuang Sect caused this mess, yet they wanted a weak woman to pay for it.

This was what they called "righteousness"?

This was their so‑called loyalty?

What a joke.

She couldn’t cry anymore.

Because from childhood till now, she had already cried too much.

"I’ll go back with you, anyway I never planned to run.

A woman with no one to rely on—where could I even run to?"

Huang Qiu’er glanced at Xiao Chen.

She sighed and walked toward the people opposite her.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen grabbed Huang Qiu’er’s hand.

That startled Huang Qiu’er.

She stared blankly at Xiao Chen.

"I told you, from now on you’re under my protection.

Not just because you’re Huang Ruiyi’s daughter.

More because you knew the danger and still came to warn me."

Xiao Chen looked at Huang Qiu’er and spoke each word clearly.

"Hahaha, just you? You should piss and take a good look at what you are."

The people from the Qinghuang Sect burst into wild laughter.

A freeloading bum living off women.

And he dared say such arrogant, ridiculous shit.

He even wanted to go against the Qinghuang Sect.

Truly laughable.

Huang Qiu’er looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Thanks for your kindness, but it’s not necessary.

My heart is already dead.

Once I’m dead, everything will be over."

After she finished, she continued walking toward the Qinghuang Sect’s side.

"Xiao Chen, I’m telling you, you’d better obediently go see the Sect Leader.

That way you can at least live a few more good days.

Since you already know the truth, you should understand what you’ll face next.

The Qinghuang Sect wants you back just to use you as a scapegoat.

Trash like you really think you’re worthy of being the Sect Leader’s grandson‑disciple?"

"What a fucking joke."

The people of the Qinghuang Sect said.

Xiao Chen sneered. "The Qinghuang Sect is really shameless to the core."

"Hmph, so what if we’re shameless.

I’m telling you, don’t even think about running.

Running is useless.

With the strength of the Qinghuang Sect, catching you would be child’s play."

The man in the lead snorted coldly. "And you still dream of the Sect Leader personally inviting you back?

Keep dreaming!"

"Heh, why would I run?"

Xiao Chen said with disdain, "A motley bunch like the Qinghuang Sect—what the hell can you do to me?"

"Arrogant. You’d better really not run!

We’re leaving!"

The group left, taking Huang Qiu’er with them.

A chill glinted in Xiao Chen’s eyes.

"Tell Hong Yi to keep an eye on this girl for me.

If she’s in danger, notify me immediately!

I want to see who dares lay a finger on her!"

Xiao Chen waved his hand.

The Ultimate Fist King immediately went to make the call.

Originally, he couldn’t be bothered with the Qinghuang Sect’s crap anymore.

Whoever came, he’d just destroy them, end of story.

But Huang Qiu’er’s existence made him change his mind.

This girl had suffered too much.

He had to help her.

At the manor gate, Huang Linglang’s son, Huang Jun, was waiting there.

When he saw Huang Qiu’er come back,

he walked up and slapped her across the face. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Bitch, if you dare run again next time, I’ll break your legs!"

Huang Jun snorted coldly and ordered people to drag Huang Qiu’er into the hall.

"Kneel!"

Huang Jun kicked Huang Qiu’er in the leg. Unable to hold herself up, she dropped to her knees.

The pain almost made her cry.

But no tears came.

This kind of thing had happened too many times.

She was truly numb.

"Sect Leader, this woman actually went to find Xiao Chen.

She told him everything."

The Martial Artist who’d been beaten by Xiao Chen shouted loudly.

"What! You little bitch, does that mean Xiao Chen already knows he’s being taken to be a scapegoat?"

Huang Qingshan exploded on the spot.

He shot to his feet.

A terrifying killing intent flashed in his eyes.

If Huang Qiu’er wasn’t still somewhat useful,

he really would have killed this woman right then and there.

"Oh, you’re angry?"

Huang Qiu’er sneered. "If you’re angry, then kill me.

Yes, I told him everything.

So what?

You people used me, never treated me as a person.

I sure as hell won’t let you harm the man my mother would risk her life to protect!"

"You! You’re going to be the death of me!"

Huang Qingshan grew even angrier.

The people of the Qinghuang Sect all looked at Huang Qiu’er with disgust and hatred.

"You bitch, you’re disloyal and unfilial!"

"You betrayed the Sect!"

"So damned selfish!"

"Exactly, you’re basically pushing the Qinghuang Sect into the fire pit, you little bitch!"

"If that Xiao Chen doesn’t go, the Qinghuang Sect is finished!"
