Chapter 4: Taking Matters into My Own Hands

Qin Feng had no intention of allowing Ye Yan, the protagonist-to-be, to continue his development. He realized that even a day was too long to give Ye Yan a chance to grow. The "lucky halo" that often surrounded protagonists was a force to be reckoned with, and Qin Feng didn't want to take any risks.

Assuring Qin Yanran that her grandfather wouldn't dare to say anything with him by her side, Qin Feng comforted her and advised her not to worry. Qin Yanran's face lit up with joy, her smile infectious to those around her.

Their conversation was interrupted by a female disciple who reported the arrival of Qin Langtian, Qin Yanran's grandfather. Qin Feng and Qin Yanran exchanged glances, both aware of the potential conflict that lay ahead. However, Qin Feng reassured Qin Yanran, affirming that he would handle the situation.

As Qin Langtian entered the room, he greeted Qin Feng respectfully. Despite being a Great Master Realm practitioner responsible for the sect's criminal law, he displayed utmost deference in Qin Feng's presence.

Addressing Qin Feng as "ancestor," Qin Langtian explained the situation regarding Qin Yanran's actions, expressing concern over the reputation of Lingxu Dongtian. He suggested that Qin Yanran should apologize to the Ye family in Black Smoky City and seek cancellation of the marriage contract, accompanied by appropriate compensation.

Qin Feng, observing Qin Langtian's response, was relieved to find that he wasn't as rigid as he had anticipated. Qin Langtian acknowledged the misunderstanding caused by Qin Yanran's actions and expressed his love for his granddaughter. He took responsibility for the situation and pleaded for Qin Yanran's forgiveness.

Moved by the genuine concern displayed by Qin Langtian, Qin Yanran's eyes welled up with tears. She expected reprimand but instead received understanding and protection from her grandfather. Qin Feng saw their emotional exchange and decided to intervene, preventing further family drama.

Declaring that explanations to outsiders were unnecessary within Lingxu Cave, Qin Feng took charge of the situation. He reassured Qin Langtian that he would handle the matter personally, sparing Qin Yanran from any blame.
