Chapter 15 Divine Illumination
Chapter 15 Divine Illumination
Inside the Zhao residence.
A large number of people arrived at this time.
Aside from the county government officials, representatives from the other three major families, some gangs, and even the Four Seasons Pharmacy and the blacksmith shop all came.
Qin Jiu greeted the people who came from each family, trying to learn more about the situation.
But it always seemed like a veil of mystery.
No one can say for sure what the demons' intentions are, or what the big hand behind them wants to do.
"Qingyue, Qingyue, look!"
"Was that the person who almost became your husband?"
At this time.
Qin Jiu had just stepped out of the hall.
Then I heard this sentence.
He frowned and looked up to see a group of young men and women dressed in smart clothes, looking dashing and energetic, walking towards him from the Zhao family courtyard. Han Qingyue was among them.
When the latter saw Qin Jiu, he was taken aback at first, and then nodded to him in greeting.
Then, turning to the woman beside her, he whispered with dissatisfaction, "Senior Sister Ye, please don't talk nonsense. I am devoted to martial arts and have never been married to anyone. I have no feelings for that Young Master Qin. Besides, there are countless heroes in the world. Why would I choose a dissolute young master?"
Although the sound was so faint it was barely audible.
But Qin Jiu's skin was now highly refined, and his five senses were sharpened. He heard every word they said.
However, he just smiled faintly at this.
There was no ripple in my heart.
"Master Qin, please wait."
suddenly.
A slightly overweight man chased after them from inside the hall.
That was the newly appointed head of the Qian family.
Qin Jiu paused, turned around in surprise, and said, "I wonder if Patriarch Qian has any further instructions?"
"I dare not presume to offer my guidance."
"My Qian family is planning to sell off properties in both the inner and outer city soon. Tonight, we've specially invited the Han family, martial arts schools from both the inner and outer city, and others. I wonder if Patriarch Qin would be interested?"
As he spoke, the man wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
His physique was loose and flabby.
Qin Jiu could tell at a glance.
The other party had no martial arts training.
What surprised him most was not that the head of the Qian family was an ordinary person, but that the other party was talking about selling off assets.
"Master Qian, what are you doing...?"
"Our Qian family is moving away from Songshan County."
The head of the Qian family sighed, "A few days ago, the Qian family suffered a great calamity. We thought it was bad enough, but today, the Zhao family has suffered an even greater tragedy of being wiped out. There is not a single strong martial artist left in my household. If we continue to stay in the city, and the demons return, what happened to the Zhao family today will be the fate of my Qian family tomorrow."
"Migration?"
I heard the other person sigh.
Qin Jiu's expression changed.
The Qian family is quite bold, actually abandoning their vast business empire rooted in Songshan County for many years and wanting to move the whole family away from this place.
However, it must be said that this move is not necessarily a bad thing.
The county town is now rife with undercurrents, and the four major families are bearing the brunt of it.
Whether it's demons or the people behind them, whether they want to target a few families or the entire county, since no martial artist can resist them, leaving this place is the only best option.
Thinking of this.
He couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
But in an instant, Qin Jiu concealed the strange expression on his face and nodded, saying, "I will go there tonight."
"Okay, okay."
"Then I will await the arrival of Patriarch Qin."
The head of the Qian family left satisfied.
Wang Yue frowned almost imperceptibly, and couldn't help but remind him, "Young Master, the Qian family mainly deals in dyeing and fabrics. Why would you want to..."
"Uncle Wang, there's no need to worry."
Qin Jiu shook his head and said, "Since the Qian family has hosted banquets for various forces and is planning to move the entire family away from Songshan County, I have two reasons for going there: first, to gather information from all sides, and second, to find out if the Qian family can successfully escape with such a grand gesture."
"If this method works, our Qin family might have to follow the Qian family's example."
"But I always felt that things wouldn't go smoothly."
......
After returning to the Qin family.
Qin Jiu dismissed all the servants, took the Cold Jade Marrow, and returned to his room.
"Zhao You..."
"I wonder what kind of talent it will be."
He held a black iron block in his hand.
With a thought, the Crimson Seal resounded loudly, and at the same time, a corner of the nearly fist-sized piece of Cold Jade Marrow disappeared instantly, along with the Silver Frost Fox Illustration in his mind.
'Buzz'
This moment.
Qin Jiu felt as if an invisible heavy hammer was striking him.
It struck the depths of his soul so hard that he almost fainted.
"Ugh!"
He growled in pain.
This kind of excruciating pain in the soul is even worse than the cruelest punishments in the world.
Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment.
If this continues...
Qin Jiu estimated that his soul was about to dissipate on the spot.
"This is......"
After he regained his senses...
I discovered that I seemed to have an innate ability.
Only a slight thought stirred within me.
The surrounding scenery faded into a white expanse, from furniture and tables to tea sets and potted plants, as if one had stepped into an endless void.
However, Qin Jiu could still touch the objects in front of him when he raised his hand.
But all that could be seen was a white light.
"No, not just the white light."
"And gray, black..."
Qin Jiu was taken aback.
With just a slight thought, his consciousness seemed to transcend space and arrive beside a black light.
"My late father, Qin Xiong, died at the hands of Qin Jiu because of your instigation."
"Why won't you help me get revenge!"
"I hate it!"
He had just approached the misty black light.
Then I heard several words filled with resentment and malice.
Qin Jiu was somewhat surprised.
At first, he thought he had encountered a vengeful spirit, but upon closer listening, the voice sounded familiar, as if it belonged to a guard he had met before.
"If we consider the actual location, I should be in the training ground right now."
He pondered.
Then they walked to a few gray lights not far away.
And this time, words were spoken as well.
"Qin Jiu is ruthless. Qin Xiong deserves to die, but his family members are all his cousins. He killed them without hesitation. It's better to leave the Qin family. I advise you all to leave as soon as possible. With your martial arts skills, you can make a living anywhere. Why stay in the Qin family and act as their accomplices?"
"After all, he's just a young kid, so it's normal that he doesn't understand social etiquette."
"Brother Li, you..."
Upon hearing this...
Qin Jiu's consciousness stirred, and his mind returned instantly.
The surrounding white void quickly dissipated, revealing the familiar scenery inside the room.
He opened his eyes, about to make a move.
An unprecedented feeling of fatigue, and even dizziness, instantly overwhelmed me.
"This talent is so mentally taxing."
Qin Jiu frowned.
I had no choice but to sit down against the edge of the bed.
At the same time, I also gained a general understanding of the role of talent.
This ability to perceive malice from others not only allows one to discern their hostility but also, with its enhancement, enables one to enter a state similar to astral projection, thereby listening to the conversations of the dark, gray mist.
As for the scope.
It depends on the strength of one's own mental power.
Take a short rest.
Qin Jiu walked out of the room and sent a servant to call Wang Yue to the east wing. He then said, "Uncle Wang, I remember there's a guard named Xie Xuan. He seems to have had a close relationship with Qin Xiongsheng. Have some people investigate him."
"It would be best to start the investigation with Wei Yan, Qin Xiong's former confidant."
"in addition."
"Have someone send over some precious medicine to restore your energy."
