Chapter 121: The Ouyang Family Returns to Liu City
After the power struggle between several families in Liu City, the Qin Family ultimately emerged victorious, and the Ouyang Family hurried back with all possible speed.
When they left, they were reluctant to part and filled with sorrow. But on the way back, the entire Ouyang Family was jubilant and festive.
Although they had only been away from Liu City for half a day, it felt as if a long time had passed.
Stepping onto the streets of Liu City, the Ouyang Family Head felt a surge of emotion.
Qin Ming was truly a Dragon among men; the crisis and the opportunities for the Qin Family could both be said to have been single-handedly created by Qin Ming.
To be able to safely navigate this crisis, pull chestnuts from the fire, and obtain such immense benefits—Qin Ming was truly formidable.
This time, he had bet correctly.
"Father, the Ouyang Family has arrived!" the Young Man beside him said.
The Ouyang Family Head looked up and saw that the Ouyang Family residence was indeed right before their eyes.
"Let's go, inside!" Having said that, the Ouyang Family Head patted his horse and headed towards the Ouyang Family residence.
The other Ouyang Family Clan Members all let out joyous laughter.
Only after truly losing something can one understand how difficult it is to live a peaceful life in Liu City.
Liu City was their root; their ancestors had lived here for generations.
"Home is best after all!" The Ouyang Family Head sat under the willow tree, looking at the familiar scenery before him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Indeed! I don't want to leave Liu City for the rest of my life. If there is struggling to be done, let the Young Men go and do it!"
An elderly man spoke; he was an Elder of the Ouyang Family and was also sitting under the willow tree.
The old man looked at the willow tree before him and sighed: "This tree was planted when I was young. It has accompanied me my entire life. If I don't see it for a day, I feel uneasy."
These Elders had deep affection for every blade of grass and tree in the Ouyang Family.
Just then, a Clan Member came over and said respectfully: "Family Head, Qin Ming of the Qin Family is here to visit."
"Invite him in quickly—no, I will go invite him myself!" The Ouyang Family Head hurriedly stood up and headed toward the main gate.
"Young Master Qin, please, come in quickly!" Seeing Qin Ming at the gate, the Ouyang Family Head laughed heartily, his voice booming like a drum.
"Old Master Ouyang!" Qin Ming also saw the Ouyang Family Head approaching and walked into the Ouyang Family residence with a smile.
"Qin Ming, come, let's go inside and sit!" The Ouyang Family Head led Qin Ming to the main hall designated for receiving guests. With a wave of his hand, someone immediately served fragrant tea and prepared tables and chairs.
"I've let you see something laughable; we only just moved the tables and chairs back down."
"Not at all. For the Ouyang Family's unprovoked disaster this time, this one feels deeply ashamed!"
Qin Ming said. The Ouyang Family had gone through so much trouble this time entirely because of him; if it hadn't been for the contest between their Qin Family and the Chen Family, where they had no chance of winning, the Ouyang Family would not have left.
Of course, in the end, Qin Ming's skills were superior, and he had defeated the Chen Family.
"I am ashamed. When the Qin Family faced such a great calamity, our Ouyang Family couldn't help at all and could only tuck our tails and run away," the Ouyang Family Head said.
"Not at all, you Ouyang Family have already done very well. This time, it was my Qin Family that implicated your Ouyang Family," Qin Ming said, cupping his hands.
"Forget it, all of that is in the past. We don't need to dwell on past matters. Why have you come here this time?" the Ouyang Family Head asked. Qin Ming was a big figure in Liu City and must be very busy right now; he believed that Qin Ming couldn't have come all this way just to apologize.
Moreover, the Qin Family didn't actually have any fault; the Alliance between their two families was originally based on mutual interests, and they had to bear the wins and losses themselves.
