Chapter 153: Something Happens to the Ouyang Family Head

After seeing off Advisor Wang, Qin Ming hurried back to the Meeting Hall and saw his father slumped in a chair, drinking tea with lifeless eyes.

"Father!" Qin Ming called out softly.

"Minger, you're back!" His father's voice was incredibly weak.

He was an expert of the Grand Martial Master Realm and had managed the entire Family for many years; when had he ever been so dejected?

Qin Ming originally wanted to comfort his father, but just then, a series of hurried footsteps rang out.

Qin Ming frowned and looked over to see a Qin Family Intelligence Personnel running toward them.

"Bi… big trouble! The Sima Family is already prepared to set out tomorrow. This time, the Sima Family Head is taking action personally and will bring ten Elders with him."

The Intelligence Personnel stammered.

"Has the news been confirmed?" Qin Yuan, whose eyes were already lifeless, saw them turn even more ashen.

The Intelligence Personnel said:

"This was personally announced by the Sima Family Head in Chenyang City; it is absolutely certain."

"This is to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Our Qin Family is that chicken!"

Qin Yuan sighed.

Waving his hand, Qin Ming dismissed the Intelligence Personnel.

By this time, Qin Yuan's face was ashen, and he felt completely powerless.

Just then, another Servant rushed in hurriedly and shouted:

"This is bad! This is bad!"

"Speak, what is it now?"

Qin Yuan asked, waving his hand.

The Qin Family was already beyond redemption; how much worse could things get?

"The Ouyang Family Head is terminally ill and is requesting our Grand Alchemist for treatment. People from the Ouyang Family are still outside."

The Servant said urgently.

"The Ouyang Family Head is an expert of the Grand Martial Master Realm. How could he suddenly be terminally ill?"

Qin Yuan was puzzled, but then thinking of his own Family's crisis, he waved his hand dismissively and said:

"If he's terminally ill, so be it. Our Qin Family is on the verge of destruction; how can we care about so much?"

"I understand. Tell them I will immediately ask my Master to step in!" Qin Ming replied.

He knew that his father's heart was now like dead ashes, and he didn't want to concern himself with matters outside the Family.

Of course, the Ouyang Family Head had to be saved. The Ouyang Family had always been on good terms with the Qin Family, and now that the Ouyang Family Head was in danger, the Qin Family naturally had to act.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sima Family Head's strength was simply too overwhelming—making the presence or absence of the Ouyang Family irrelevant—his father would surely have asked the Ouyang Family for help.

But now? No matter how many more in the Grand Martial Master Realm there were, it would be useless; they would all just be fodder.

"Father, then I shall go and attend to this," Qin Ming said respectfully.

"Go! Go!" Qin Yuan said, waving his hand.

Thus, Qin Ming withdrew and headed toward his Master Azure Flame's Alchemy Room.

Seeing his father like this pained Qin Ming greatly, but he had no good solution for now.

Only after tomorrow, when he had completely eradicated the Sima Family and the crisis had passed, would his father recover.

Right now, no matter what he said, it would be of no use.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming shook his head and pushed open the door to his Master's Alchemy Room.

"Qin Ming, you're here. Is there something the matter?"

Azure Flame looked at Qin Ming in surprise and asked.

Qin Ming rarely came to his place, and with so much happening in the Qin Family right now, Qin Ming should be even busier. How did he have time to come here?

"Elder Qing, something has happened to the Ouyang Family Head. I'd like to ask you to go and take a look."

Qin Ming said.

Usually, when others were present, Qin Ming would call Azure Flame 'Master,' but when they were alone, he would address him as Elder Qing.

In truth, Qin Ming wanted to call Azure Flame 'Master' at all times, but Azure Flame firmly refused. Left with no choice, Qin Ming had to follow his Master's wishes.
