He is the eldest son of the Sun family! He is one of the future heirs of the Sun family! From childhood to adulthood, others have always been servile to him. He has never suffered such humiliation before.
But... not kneeling?
He glanced at Sun Wu in the distance, lying on the ground, his chest rising and falling weakly, like a tattered sack, and a deeper chill instantly froze his blood.
Even the Saint Realm expert Elder Wu was slapped to the point of life or death. My meager cultivation is probably not even as good as an ant in front of him.
Resist? That's suicide!
Just as Sun Yu was struggling intensely inside, with fear and humiliation constantly tug at his heartstrings, almost driving him insane.
In the distance, Sun Wu, who had been on the verge of death and seemed about to breathe his last, suddenly let out a painful groan.
With difficulty, he used his still-intact arm to support himself on the ground, struggling to sit up.
Every movement brought excruciating pain throughout his body, contorting the muscles in his face and causing cold sweat to pour down like a waterfall.
His chest was caved in, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs kept gushing from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered extremely serious internal injuries.
But in his cloudy old eyes burned a flame mixed with horror, resentment, and unwillingness.
He stared intently at Qin Yang, his throat emitting a hoarse sound like a broken bellows.
"Cough...cough cough..."
He coughed violently a few times, spitting out several mouthfuls of black blood, before barely managing to steady himself. Gritting his teeth, he said, word by word, "Your...Your Excellency...Your strength is extraordinary...We...We admit defeat..."
These few words seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
Upon hearing Sun Wu's voice, Sun Yu felt as if he were a drowning man grasping at a last straw, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
Old Wu! Old Wu is still alive! And... he seems to want to negotiate with the other party?
Panting, Sun Wu continued with difficulty, "Today... what happened today was due to the Sun family's blindness and disrespect... We... are willing to pay the price..."
His voice was still hoarse, but it carried a dignity that belonged to a Saint Realm expert, a dignity that he was unwilling to completely abandon even when seriously injured.
"If only Your Excellency... would be so kind as to let us... leave..."
Sun Wu paused, seemingly gathering his strength, his eyes sharpening as he said in a deep voice, "I, Sun Wu... in the name of the elders of the Sun family, guarantee that from this day forward, all grudges between the Sun family and you are wiped clean! We will never cause you any more trouble! We... will never kneel!"
He spoke those last few words with unwavering resolve, carrying an almost tragic sense of finality.
This was his final bottom line.
As a Saint Realm expert, even if he is defeated or seriously injured, to be forced to kneel and kowtow to a junior is a humiliation worse than death!
He believed that the other party, with such strength at such a young age, must be a prodigy carefully cultivated by some powerful force or reclusive master, and should understand that the dignity of a Saint Realm expert cannot be trampled upon.
Let them go, settle all grudges, that's the best outcome.
At least, that's how he sees it.
Sun Yu was filled with mixed emotions upon hearing Sun Wu's words.
Old Wu was still trying to save face for the Sun family and refused to kneel down...
This gave rise to a sense of "unwillingness" in his heart, which was almost filled with fear.
Yeah, why should we?
Why should Sun Yu, the eldest son of the prestigious Sun family, kneel before this wild brat who appeared out of nowhere?
Even if he's strong, so what? Can he really kill them?
If we kill them, the Sun family will surely fight us to the death!
At that time, no matter how strong he is, can he stop the relentless and insane revenge of a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years?
Once this thought arose, Sun Yu's arrogance and wishful thinking, which had been suppressed by fear, quietly resurfaced.
He looked at Qin Yang, and although he still dared not look directly into the other's eyes, his back seemed to straighten a little, and his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to agree with Sun Wu's words.
However, he ultimately didn't dare to speak.
Reason told him that the best option now was to shut up and leave everything to Old Wu.
After all, the fear that felt like the arrival of death still lingered in his mind and had not yet dissipated.
Although he was extremely unwilling and filled with resentment, wishing he could tear Qin Yang to pieces, at this moment, facing that god-like figure, he could only choose to submit to reality.
Being able to leave alive is already the best outcome.
As for kneeling... since Old Wu said he wouldn't kneel, that's naturally the best course of action.
All eyes were once again focused on Qin Yang.
Chen Yuqi clenched her fists nervously, her palms sweating.
She didn't know what Qin Yang would choose.
The Sun family is, after all, a behemoth in Jiangbei. If things really break down completely, it will likely bring endless trouble.
Giving up now seems to be the more rational choice.
But for some reason, deep down she secretly hoped that Qin Yang wouldn't agree.
The man who slapped a Saint Realm expert away shouldn't let those who once tried to humiliate him, or even take his life, off so easily.
The bodyguards didn't dare to breathe loudly, each one wishing they could shrink into a ball and minimize their presence.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
A slight smile slowly curved Qin Yang's face.
That wasn't a smile, but a chilling mockery.
His gaze swept over Sun Wu, who was struggling to hold on, and then fell on Sun Yu, whose expression was constantly changing. He spoke slowly with a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Never kneel down?"
Qin Yang repeated Sun Wu's words, his voice still calm, but it made Sun Wu and Sun Yu's hearts sink, and a very bad premonition arose.
"Let bygones be bygones and you can leave?"
Qin Yang continued, and with each word he spoke, the air seemed to grow colder.
He looked at the two of them as if they were two clowns, and the mocking smile on his lips became more and more obvious.
"That sounds like a good offer."
Upon hearing this, the flickering flame of hope in Sun Yu's eyes seemed to rekindle faintly.
Could it be... that he would really agree?
However, Qin Yang's next words were like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, instantly plunging him into an abyss.
"It's just a pity..."
Qin Yang's voice suddenly turned cold, and beneath that calm exterior lay a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
"These are the conditions you just offered me."
He paused, his gaze piercing through Sun Yu's defenses like a sharp sword.
"Or rather, the conditions that you believe I am only entitled to accept."
Qin Yang's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, carrying an undisguised sarcasm.
"I'll make you kneel down, kowtow, and admit your mistakes, then get out."
"I will return this condition to you exactly as it is."
"how?"
Qin Yang tilted his head slightly, his icy gaze almost freezing one's blood.
"Now that it's your turn, you can't accept it?"
