At the mere glimpse of Qin An, Qin Yuan's face darkened instantly, his eyes gleaming with severity. The humiliation of being publicly beaten by Qin An was a scar he would carry for life. Recalling it now, his expression grew even more fierce and sinister.

He sneered and shouted loudly, "Qin An, come here!" Had it been before Qin An was injured, he would never have acted this way, as it would only bring him shame. But now, he felt immensely satisfied, for the opportunity for revenge had finally arrived. Qin An, with his qi sea ruined, was now just a useless wreck at his mercy.

Coincidentally, his cousin Lv Wei was also here. He planned to let Lv Wei witness firsthand how he would deal with Qin An. Qin Yuan glanced at the bright and charming Lv Wei, feeling even more pleased with himself. "Hehe, genius? What a load of crap!"

Qin Yuan squinted and waved at Qin An from afar, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "It's Cousin Qin An!" Lv Wei also spotted Qin An, her mouth slightly agape. However, she did not approach him. She had already heard about Qin An's plight and knew that he was no longer the genius of the Qin family. She had lost interest in conversing with the current Qin An. Since learning of his downfall, her previous memories of Qin An seemed to have faded. Otherwise, she would have visited Qin An immediately upon arriving at the Qin family estate this time.

"Hmph, what kind of cousin is Qin An? Just a waste of space. Cousin Lv Wei, you don't know yet, do you? This waste has already been evicted from the family's top-level courtyard. Hmph, so what if he's the grandson of the clan leader? The Qin family doesn't support useless people." Qin Yuan sneered, his face filled with contempt and disdain.

"Brother Yuan, look at Qin An. He's always been so arrogant, relying on his grandfather being the head of our Qin family and not putting any of us Qin family members in his eyes. Let's see how long he can keep up this arrogance," said a young man from the Qin family with an unhappy expression on his face.

The dozen or so young people with Qin Yuan were all direct or collateral descendants of the Qin family. They usually had a good relationship with Qin Yuan, so naturally, they didn't take a shine to Qin An.

In the past, Qin An rarely got close to others in the family. He always went his own way. Not only Qin Yuan and his group but even some elders in the family were dissatisfied with Qin An's personality. However, because Qin An was exceptionally talented and the grandson of Qin Changxing, the family head, they could only grumble behind his back. On the surface, most of them still showed respect to Qin An.

As Qin An walked over slowly, the sneer on Qin Yuan's face became even more pronounced.

"Qin Yuan, is there something?" Qin An glanced at Qin Yuan and then turned to Lv Wei, "Cousin Lv Wei, when did you arrive?"

"I've been here for a few days. I heard that Cousin Qin An was injured. How's your wound now?" Lv Wei still smiled faintly.

Qin An felt a slight chill in his heart and nodded with a smile, saying, "Much better."

Judging from Lv Wei's attitude, she was no longer the Lv Wei he remembered two years ago. Although she still called him cousin, the indifference in her words was clear to Qin An.

"Qin An, you're recovering well. I heard a few days ago that you couldn't get out of bed, and now you're full of energy. Wow, having a family head as your grandfather is great. You must have used quite a bit of those precious healing medicines in the family. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have such treatment," Qin Yuan said to Qin An with a cold look in his eyes.

"Hehe, thanks for your concern. I am indeed recovering well," Qin An replied, looking at Qin Yuan.

The others behind Qin Yuan also looked at Qin An with sneers.

Before Qin'an was injured, people would always steer clear of him when they saw him, as they had been suppressed for too long by the aura of his genius. Now, the grievances they had been harboring were stirring within them, eager to find a vent."Qin'an, you're just a waste now. There's really no reason for you to continue occupying the family's resources. What? Don't you even have the self-awareness to realize this?" Qin Yuan's eyes gleamed with intensity, his aura condensing as he attempted to intimidate Qin'an with his own pressure."Oh? So what self-awareness should I have?" Qin'an smiled and asked in return."How ignorant you are! You still have your spatial pouch on you, don't you? Give it to me. Your qi sea is ruined, and your internal power is gone. What use do you have for a spatial pouch? Can you even use it?" Qin Yuan pointed at Qin'an with his finger, his tone filled with sarcasm.

He knew that Qin'an's spatial pouch contained a low-grade talisman, the "Cloud Drill." Among the younger generation of Qin's family, only three people possessed low-grade talismans, and Qin'an was one of them, while Qin Yuan was not. If he could seize Qin'an's low-grade talisman for himself, his combat strength would surely increase greatly. He had been coveting this low-grade talisman for a long time.Qin Yuan stared down at Qin'an with contempt, intending to seize the spatial pouch by force if Qin'an didn't give it up. Even if Qin'an went to report to the clan leader, he would have nothing to fear.

After all, Qin'an had become a waste. How could he continue to hoard this rare talisman? The clan leader couldn't be unreasonable!"Qin Yuan, do you think you're qualified to ask for my spatial pouch?" Qin'an still had a smile on his face, but the chill in his eyes was growing stronger."Qin'an, do you still think you're that genius? How laughable! A waste, yet so arrogant. Do you believe me when I say I can kill you with just one finger?" Qin Kuo, standing beside Qin Yuan, shouted loudly, his internal power surging as if ready to attack Qin'an at any moment."Cousin Qin'an, you should just give the spatial pouch to Cousin Qin Yuan. You have no use for it anymore," Lv Wei said hesitantly, furrowing her brows slightly. Although she was no longer close to Qin'an, she would feel somewhat uneasy if she witnessed Qin'an being beaten in front of her. Of course, if she weren't there, the situation would be entirely different.Qin'an looked deeply at Lv Wei but didn't say anything."Waste! Why haven't you handed over the spatial pouch yet? Do you want to die?" Qin Yuan also shouted sternly, his qi condensing as his surging internal power poured out through his arms, making a "hissing" sound in the air.
