Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Can't Be Bothered to Explain to a Few Ants

"Screech!"

Qin Lingyue slammed on the brakes, and the car emitted a sharp screeching sound.

"Get out of the car!"

Qin Lingyue glared at Ye Qingtian and shouted.

"Why?"

"Get out!"

The idea of Ye Qingtian making the Kang Family bow down was the biggest joke Qin Lingyue had ever heard.

The Kang Family was something even the Four Great Families had to look up to!

And Ye Qingtian thinks he can do it?

Does he really think he's still the Young Master of the Ye Family?

"Ye Qingtian, I'm telling you, there's no way this could ever happen in this lifetime! Just stop dreaming!"

Qin Lingyue left this remark and rolled up the car window.

"Vroom!"

As he watched the car rush away like a beast of flood, Ye Qingtian helplessly touched his nose.

Key thing was, the Qin Family Manor was located in a secluded suburban area, and now Qin Lingyue had thrown him out halfway. Not to mention catching a cab, catching even a glimpse of a car would be difficult.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, a black shadow flickered past in the grass by the roadside, barely visible as a rabbit.

"Well, at least I'll get some wild game in the mountains, dinner sorted."

Ye Qingtian chuckled, diving headfirst into the deep forest.

The terrain in Jin City was like two mountains holding a river valley, practically enveloping the entire city within a cluster of mountains.

This area belonged to Longquan Mountain, home to the famous "Longquan Hunting Ground."

Usually, wealthy or significant figures came here to enjoy the thrill of hunting.

Typically, Longquan Hunting Ground would host at least dozens of guests, but today it was booked exclusively.

In the deep forest of the hunting ground, a group of people was moving slowly, led by two elderly men. Despite entering their sixties, they were robust and walked with vigor, exuding a sharp aura.

"Brother Wencheng, it's been twenty years since you left the army, let's see if your shooting skill has deteriorated today!"

One elderly man in military green attire asked with a smile.

The slightly chubby white-haired elder beside him chuckled, "Brother Li, compared to you, my shooting skill is hardly worth mentioning. It is said that sharpshooters are raised with bullets, you're fed with bullets for over forty years. How could I compare?"

"Haha, that might not be the case. Back in the army, your shooting was not a bit worse than mine!"

Li Xuechang smiled, casually picking up a hunter rifle and tossing it to Bai Wencheng.

"Since Brother Li says so, I'll indulge myself today!"

Bai Wencheng took the rifle and began to examine it.

Li Xuechang and Bai Wencheng were figures of considerable background.

Li Xuechang commanded high respect as the commander of the Northwest Military Region Jin City Sub-region, wielding vast influence. His power was in no way inferior to the Four Great Families; even the families had to be cautious.

Bai Wencheng was equally prominent, head of the Bai Family, one of Jin City's Four Great Families. He was once a comrade of Li Xuechang, having fought life and death on the battlefield together.

They were followed by five or six people, including Li Xuechang's guards and Bai Wencheng's attendants, as well as a young man and woman.

The young man was tall and handsome, possessing an upright body, vaguely radiating an air of authority; he was Li Xuechang's cherished grandson, Li Yichen.

The girl's figure was tall, measuring up to 1.7 meters. Her beautiful legs were straight and slender, akin to leg models. Her face, palm-sized with almond features, looked divine; her features were exquisite, skin tender like frost and snow, stunningly beautiful.

The girl was named Bai Suyi, Bai Wencheng's granddaughter.

"Sister Suyi, Grandmaster Bai has remarkable shooting skills; my grandfather praised him more than once."

Li Yichen said teasingly, his eyes full of flattery.

"Oh."

Bai Suyi nodded, seemingly disinterested in engaging with Li Yichen.

"Sister Suyi, later let's go hunting too! Just to let you see my shooting skill; I haven't wasted these years in the army."

Li Yichen continued eagerly, his face full of expectation, eager to showcase his skills.

"We'll see!"

Bai Suyi responded coolly, indifferently.

Li Yichen wasn't disheartened, rather excitedly keeping pace.

"First time using this thing, it does feel a bit unfamiliar!"

Bai Wencheng remarked.

Li Xuechang responded with a nod, "Who doesn't agree, this thing indeed feels somewhat unwieldy!"

"Commander, there appears to be a prey at eleven o'clock in the direction ahead!"

Li Xuechang's guard noticed traces of prey.

"Good, Brother Wencheng, let's begin!"

Li Xuechang's demeanor shifted, emanating a sharp, assaultive presence.

"Great!"

Bai Wencheng, too, displayed gleaming eyes.

The two started with the ferocity of a cheetah.

They showcased the course of "moving target shooting" to perfection, both in posture and footstep rhythm.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The two fired almost simultaneously, the massive roar echoing through the deep forest.

In the distance, a spurt of blood arrow erupted…

Upon closer inspection, it was found that a wild rabbit had nearly half its body blasted, dead thoroughly.

From the wound marks, it was evident the rabbit was hit by two bullets.

"Commander and Elder Bai truly have exceptional shooting skills; hitting targets at least sixty meters away with a hunter rifle, more so you elder gentlemen are first-time users of a hunter rifle!"

Li Xuechang's guard repeatedly admired.

Li Yichen was surprised, his face full of excitement.

Even the aloof Bai Suyi showed a trace of a smile.

"Haha, quite amusing. Brother Li, indulge me today!"

Bai Wencheng started loading bullets.

Two hours later, Li Xuechang and Bai Wencheng had shot down seven or eight preys.

"Alas, what a pity. These could have been wild rabbits or just some wild chickens!"

Bai Wencheng sighed.

"Be content, in this era it's wonderful enough to have places to hunt."

Li Xuechang laughed.

"Commander, there's prey at three o'clock!"

The voice of the guard came again.

"Go, Brother Wencheng!"

Li Xuechang and Bai Wencheng moved out once more.

At this moment, Ye Qingtian just arrived in the deep forest, holding a rabbit he had chased down barehanded over a hundred meters.

"Hmm? Another one? Just finish and head back!"

Ye Qingtian's eyes shot two glimmers, darting out in an instant.

"Swoosh!"

He picked up a small stone and casually threw it out, like a bullet tearing through the air, leaving a white streak.

"Thump!"

The rabbit a hundred meters away was struck, falling directly to the ground.

A second later, two gunshots rang.

Ye Qingtian didn't bother, swiftly finding the rabbit and walked away with it.

"Kid, what are you doing? Put the rabbit down!"

But the next moment, a sharp voice came.

Li Xuechang's group arrived, seven or eight pairs of eyes fixated on Ye Qingtian.

Ye Qingtian ignored them, turned to leave.

"Wait! This is not yours!"

Li Yichen bellowed aggressively, two guards blocked Ye Qingtian's path.

Ye Qingtian sneered, "I caught this, how is it not mine?"

Li Yichen scornfully glanced at Ye Qingtian, "You? Clearly, it was my grandfather and Grandmaster Bai who hit it with hunter rifles! You caught it? And with what did you hit it?"

"I used a stone!"

Ye Qingtian replied calmly.

"Haha? A stone? Come on, don't be ridiculous! Look at the size of the wound, does it look like it was hit by a stone? Moreover, even using a hunter rifle to hit prey is difficult; you think a stone can hit it? Do you believe you're filming a supernatural TV series? Bullets that turn corners, huh? Quick wrist flick and hitting prey?"

Li Yichen scolded sharply.

Li Xuechang and Bai Wencheng's faces showed displeasure; the rabbits Ye Qingtian held had large wounds, clearly blasted apart; how could they be hit by stones?

Using stones to hit them would require a Martial Arts Expert, how could Ye Qingtian possibly accomplish that?

The two had a very poor impression of Ye Qingtian.

Bai Suyi displayed a look of disgust in her eyes.

Clearly taking someone else's possession, yet still boasting.

"Words failing, aren't you?"

Li Yichen looked at Ye Qingtian mockingly.

Ye Qingtian's smile was deep, "I'm too lazy to explain to ants like you!"
