Upon hearing Zhou Rong's arrogant and disrespectful words, Qinchuan couldn't help but let out a laugh.

As the once feared Asura Emperor who dominated and was invincible through ages, casting his net across heaven and earth, strategizing for the world, with half of the Divine Realm under his control, even those at the peak of the Divine Emperor's cultivation level wouldn't dare to speak to him in such a manner.
Yet at this moment, a mere mortal martial artist from a mundane world actually said he didn't even have the qualification to think about breaking off an engagement with the Zhou Family.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Rong's face immediately darkened as Qinchuan's smile made her uncomfortable.
"I'm laughing at your fearlessness born from ignorance."
Qinchuan shook his head in amusement, looking at Zhou Rong with eyes not filled with much anger, but with a hint of pity as he spoke, "Your Zhou Family is but a grain of sand among the many noble families of Shanhe County; across the entire Divine Wilderness Continent, your Zhou Family is so insignificant that you can't even compare to a speck of dust. I truly don't know where you get your sense of superiority from."
"As for your sister, forget the fact that she is just a minor disciple of Cloud Sect—even if she were a goddess from the heavens, my answer would still be the same: marrying her is impossible, I will never marry her in this lifetime, at most I could consider allowing her to serve as a maid by my side."
All those present at the venue jumped at Qinchuan's words, never expecting him to spout such arrogance, even in front of the disciples of the Cloud Sect, acting as if he didn't place the Cloud Sect in his eyes at all—his audacity knew no bounds.
The Zhou Family of Shanhe County was not something that the mere Zhao Family of Great Wilderness City could compare with; the two were not on the same level of power.
Besides, the other party had connections with the Cloud Sect, an existence that the Qin Family should not provoke.
"Patriarch, the Zhou Family has been rapidly rising in Shanhe County, becoming a prominent and influential family; and the young miss of the Zhou Family has even been accepted into the Cloud Sect. Patriarch, you must absolutely not offend them…"
Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, the Third Elder of the Qin Family immediately broke into a sweat, hurriedly advising in a low voice.
However, Qinchuan remained utterly unconcerned, speaking indifferently, "Just a petty Zhou Family. Even if that young miss of the Zhou Family has entered the Cloud Sect, what of it? To consider taking her as a maid is already a great favor bestowed upon her; you are too nervous."
"Thump!"
At Qinchuan's words, the Third Elder collapsed to the ground.
Zhou Rong was shaking with rage, pointing at Qinchuan as she shouted furiously, "You... you... what did you say? You actually said my sister is only fit to be your maid?"
"Who do you think you are, to be so bold as to speak such words? I must teach you a lesson today!"
However, just as she was about to take action, the jade-crowed young man from the Cloud Sect who had accompanied her blocked her with his arm. His gaze fixed on Qinchuan, he spoke coldly,
"In my years of cultivation, I have never seen anyone as arrogant as you. A mere ant dares to be so presumptuous in my presence, disregarding both Miss Zhou and the Cloud Sect!?"
"I came here without the intention to make things difficult for you, but I didn't expect you to disrespect the Cloud Sect. As a formal disciple of the Cloud Sect, if I don't teach you a lesson now, where will the face of the Cloud Sect be?"
With that, a powerful aura suddenly emerged from his body, indeed an invincible aura!
Auras like this are not something ordinary people can cultivate; they enhance one's strength, and in combat, they can intimidate and suppress opponents.
At this moment, as the invincible aura from the jade-crown young man burst forth, the color drained from the faces of everyone in the venue, and exclamations were heard non-stop.
"Invincible aura!"
"My heavens, this is truly an invincible aura—worthy of a disciple from Congyun Sect. Such a young age, yet already able to condense such an invincible aura!"
"Qinchuan's talent and potential are already quite astounding, but when compared to this disciple of Congyun Sect who has condensed an invincible aura, it's like fireflies trying to compete with the bright moon. Congyun Sect indeed deserves to be one of the top few sects in Shanhe County!"
Many people around were shocked by the invincible aura radiating from the jade-crowned youth.
The jade-crowned youth's aura was like a raging rainbow. He hadn't formally made a move, nor had he revealed his cultivation level, but just this surge of invincible aura rushing forth was immensely shocking and intimidating.
At that moment, the powerful invincible aura, like a tidal wave, pressed towards Qinchuan.
Standing by Qinchuan's side, Third Elder of the Qin Family instantly turned pale, retreating again and again under the pressure, to the point of nearly kneeling on the ground, even though he was only suffering a bit of the aftermath.
One could only imagine what kind of terrifying pressure Qinchuan, who was directly facing the brunt of this aura, had to endure?
"Aura... is this what aura is?"
"It's said that among cultivators, only the most top-notch geniuses can condense an aura. Anyone who has condensed an aura is a peerless prodigy with immeasurable future potential. It turns out Brother Qingyu is this strong, with such high talent..."
By the side of the jade-crowned youth, Zhou Rong also felt that exceptionally strong aura emanating from him, and her heart was immediately filled with shock, while her eyes revealed a strong color of admiration as she looked at him.
However, just when everyone thought Qinchuan could not withstand the other's aura.
Qinchuan seemed to have not felt the oppression of the strong invincible aura from the other at all, and instead, a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes, "Not bad, not bad. Judging by the traces of time on you, you must be no more than twenty-five years old, right?"
"At the age of twenty-five, to be able to comprehend and condense an invincible aura, although it's just the beginning stage, it's not bad. You could barely be considered somewhat talented."
"..."
Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, the surrounding crowd suddenly fell silent, finding his statement quite speechless.
To condense an invincible aura at twenty-five, a talent one in ten thousand, and yet it's considered just barely somewhat talented?
Even Zhou Rong couldn't help but open her mouth in shock, then couldn't resist scoffing, "How boastful!"
"Brother Qingyu is a dragon among men, a truly brilliant genius. Just with you, a descendant of a declining family from an outranked city, you can't even compare to a single hair of Brother Qingyu's, yet you have the audacity to appraise his talent?!"
However, only Liu Qingyu's expression tightened, even his pupils trembling slightly.
Everyone overlooked the ease and comfort in Qinchuan's demeanor under his invincible aura, but he couldn't possibly ignore it.
Seeing Qinchuan remain untroubled and at ease under his invincible aura, his heart had already set off stormy waves!
This young man before him was disregarding his invincible aura oppression!
What did this imply?
It meant that the opponent was either far stronger than him or possessed an aura even more potent than his invincible aura!
But how could that be possible?!
