<h4>Chapter 1420: Chapter 1417: If You Want to Live, Then Give Me an Exnation First (3rd Update)</h4><h4></h4>


    They truly couldn’t understand—just who was this young man, and why was he so formidable?


    At the same time.


    Xue An smiled faintly at Wei Haocang. "Brother Haocang, do you want to set off the fireworks one by one, or should they explode all at once?"


    This question, akin to the whispered temptations of a devil, caused an already terrified and trembling crowd to erupt into chaos.


    "Who the hell are you? Let me go now!"


    "That’s right! This matter has nothing to do with us! Release me at once!"


    "Spare us, my lord!"


    Pleading cries for mercy and indignant curses mingled together, turning the banquet hall into a scene of utter pandemonium.


    Xue An remained utterly expressionless, simply watching the spectacle with a leisurely air, as though relishing a grand performance unfolding before his eyes.


    "Enough!"


    A sudden shout cut through the chaos, bringing the hall to a hush.


    Then, Luo Qifeng stepped forward, his expression solemn. He sped his fists and spoke in a grave tone.


    "Friend! Your strength is indeed extraordinary, but are we not without deep grievances between us? If this is merely over some trivial matter, it doesn’t warrant such a dramatic disy. After all, you are an unparalleled powerhouse—there’s no need for this, wouldn’t you agree?"


    "Trivial matter?" Xue An chuckled softly. His gaze swept over the ghost of Luo Xuan, trembling behind Luo Qifeng, and he said coldly, "Since you acknowledge that I am an unparalleled powerhouse, then surely you must provide me an exnation for this woman’s previous insults against me, no?"


    At these words, Luo Xuan shuddered violently, and then shrieked in terror.


    "You’ve already destroyed my human n body! What more do you want? Let me tell you—our Luo Family..."


    Before she could finish, Luo Qifeng had already yanked her forward.


    "Brother, what are you doing?" Luo Xuan was still bewildered.


    Luo Qifeng sighed softly, "Xuan’er, me yourself for offending someone you should never have offended!"


    Luo Xuan trembled all over, instantly realizing the situation, and screamed in stark terror.


    "No..."


    But before she could finish, Luo Qifeng grabbed her ghostly form with both hands and tore ruthlessly.


    "Ahhhhh! Luo Qifeng, you bastard!" With a blood-curdling scream,


    Luo Xuan’s ghostly figure was ripped in two.


    Thick, eerie ghostly energy spurted out, like blood gushing from an open wound, scattering across the floor.


    Fragments of Luo Xuan’s ghost began to fade visibly, growing weaker and thinner by the second.


    Finally!


    With a crisp snapping sound,


    The notorious Luo Family daughter known for her arrogance and ruthlessness met her end at the hands of her most admired elder brother.


    And the reason? Simply to offer an apology to the boy in white.


    Such savage and decisive actions left many witnessing this scene slightly rattled.


    Afterpleting this cruel act, Luo Qifeng seemed relieved as he turned to Xue An and said, "Friend, is this exnation satisfactory to you?"


    Xue An gazed calmly at the scattered fragments of the ghost on the ground before nodding.


    "Not bad!"


    Luo Qifeng let out a discreet breath of relief and then smiled as he said, "In that case, I kindly ask you, friend, to show mercy and spare us."


    Someone who could both yield and act ruthlessly!


    Luo Qifeng’s conduct at this moment was summed up in the minds of many with these eight simple words.


    Meanwhile, Luo Gaoyang nodded subtly in agreement.


    In his view, this was the true quality required of apetent Family Head.


    As for the issue of losing a daughter...pared to his own life, it was simply insignificant!


    But just as Luo Qifeng oozed confidence, he could never have foreseen Xue An suddenlyughing.


    "Your exnation is indeed satisfying, but when did I ever say that satisfying me would mean I’d spare you all?"


    "You..." Luo Qifeng’s face twisted in anger, but his rage was soon suppressed as he spoke again, his tone sinister. "Friend, one should show mercy when it’s due. What will it take for you to let us go?"


    "It’s simple!" As he spoke, Xue An pointed toward the distant figures of Luo Jian and Ren Tianqi.


    "No matter who you are, as long as you obtain their consent, I will spare you!"


    Boom!


    Xue An’s decision sent shockwaves through the banquet hall.


    Luo Jian and Ren Tianqi were equally stunned.


    What was the master’s intent?


    Among the crowd, only Wei Qingxiao seemed thoughtful, beginning to grasp some of Xue An’s greater n. Yet, the more she understood, the more shaken she felt as she cast an astonished nce toward Xue An.


    Who exactly was this boy?


    Why did his strength defy all logic, and why was his mastery over manipting people’s hearts so unparalleled?


    At that moment, the noisy, market-like banquet hall gradually fell silent.


    All eyes turned toward Luo Jian and Ren Tianqi.


    For everyone present, their lives now hung on the will of these two individuals.


    In essence, Luo Jian and Ren Tianqi held the power of life and death over all.


    "Cough, cough! Little Seventh, the previous incidents were all my fault. I hope you can forgive me, as we share the bond of blood and brotherhood, right?" Luo Qifeng was the first to turn to Luo Jian.


    By now, Luo Jian had recovered from his earlier shock. Seeing the notorious Luo Qifeng, who had always looked down on him, speaking so obsequiously, a sudden rity dawned on him. He gazed at Xue An in gratitude from afar.


    Xue An offered noment, merely smiling faintly and nodding, signaling Luo Jian to do as he pleased.


    Taking a deep breath, Luo Jian sneered coldly, "Luo Qifeng, now you remember I’m your younger brother? What, do you think a few words of apology will erase all the oppression and targeting of the past?"


    Luo Qifeng’s face turned pale.


    Of course, he knew the depth of Luo Jian’s resentment. After all, the things he’d done to Luo Jian weren’t exactlymendable.


    He cast a pleading nce at Luo Gaoyang.


    Faced with such a dire situation, Luo Gaoyang couldn’t afford to remain passive. He cleared his throat awkwardly, worked to soften his tone, and said with a smile, "Jian’er, enough already. Don’t dwell too much on the past. After all, we’re family!"


    "Family?" Luo Jian’s face turned hateful. "When have you ever treated me as family?"


    "Jian’er, as your father, I had my reasons..." Luo Gaoyang said apologetically.


    "Heh..." Luo Jian interrupted with a derisiveugh. "Luo Gaoyang, do I need to spell out how my mother died? Or do you already know?"


    These words made Luo Gaoyang’s face turn ghastly pale, his eyelids twitching uncontrobly.


    "You..."


    "How do I know, you wonder?" Luo Jian’s face was streaked with tears. "You thought I was too young to understand anything back then? You couldn’t be more wrong—before my mother passed, she told me everything!"


    "That wretched woman! So it was her, meddling even in death!" Luo Gaoyang roared in anger.


    "Ha! To you, she was a wretched woman even to herst breath. But do you know her final words to me?" Luo Jian said, his voice trembling. "She told me to live well, to not let you all destroy me. And if possible, not to hate you!"
