Chapter 218: Tell Father

"I really don't know. It seems I will have to ask my father if he knows of any secrets within our Qin Family. If even he doesn't know, then our Qin Family simply has no secrets."

Qin Ming headed toward the City Lord's Mansion.

Elder Qing nodded. Logically speaking, the Qin Family would never provoke the Qixin Sect, so there was something suspicious about this matter.

Soon, Qin Ming arrived at the study in the City Lord's Mansion, while Elder Qing returned to the Alchemy Room to continue working on his unfinished Medicinal Pill.

"Qin Ming, you've arrived?" Qin Yuan asked. "What was the reason for mobilizing the City Guard with such fanfare just now?"

"Father!" Qin Ming bowed and said, "I mobilized the City Guards just now to deal with enemies who had snuck in. I wanted to ask, does our Qin Family have any secrets?"

Qin Ming kept his eyes on his father. When he asked this, his father's expression was one of confusion, not shock.

"Secrets?" Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Our Qin Family has no secrets! I know all the affairs of the Qin Family, big and small, and you should know them too. How could there be any secrets hidden from you?"

Qin Ming nodded. Since his father said there were no secrets, then there certainly were none.

Qin Yuan said: "Qin Ming, you still haven't told me, what kind of enemy wants to harm the Qin Family?"

Qin Ming thought for a moment and decided to tell Qin Father. He needed to tell his father so that if anything really happened, his father would be prepared.

"Father, the ones targeting our Qin Family are from the Qixin Sect!" Qin Ming stated frankly.

"Qixin Sect?" Qin Yuan was puzzled; he had never heard of this Sect.

Seeing his father's confused expression, Qin Ming continued: "The Qixin Sect is a Demonic Sect. Their Sect Master is a Martial King, and they have eleven Martial Spirit experts."

"Martial King!" Qin Yuan's legs trembled.

"Don't worry, Father. We just defeated one of their Elders, so they won't be able to send anyone else for a while," Qin Ming reassured him.

"You defeated one of their Elders?" Qin Yuan asked in surprise. Qin Ming had just said that the Elders of the Qixin Sect were Martial Spirit experts.

Qin Ming laughed: "I joined forces with Elder Qing to defeat them. How could I possibly do it alone! Moreover, we used Medicinal Pills and launched a sneak attack. With the right timing, location, and people on our side, we were lucky to win."

"Together with Elder Qing." Qin Yuan nodded. He knew that Elder Qing actually had the cultivation of a Martial King, though he was injured. If Elder Qing made a move, wiping out a Martial Spirit was perfectly normal.

"Isn't Elder Qing injured?" Qin Yuan asked.

"Yes," Qin Ming replied, "But Elder Qing is a Martial King after all. By utilizing the power of Medicinal Pills, he was able to defeat the Martial Spirit. However, after this action, it is unlikely that Elder Qing will be able to strike again. Everything will have to depend on ourselves."

Qin Ming did not want his father to rely too heavily on Elder Qing. After all, Elder Qing could not truly fight; this was just a cover he had created.

Qin Yuan nodded and said: "Our Qin Family owes Elder Qing even more now."

Ever since Elder Qing came to the Qin Family, he had helped them with many major issues, yet the Qin Family had nothing that could move Elder Qing. Therefore, Qin Yuan had always been grateful and wanted to repay Elder Qing.

Qin Yuan asked in confusion: "Then why does the Qixin Sect want to harm our Qin Family? We have never provoked them."

Qin Ming said: "That is exactly why I asked you, Father, if our Qin Family had any secrets. I also don't know why the Qixin Sect insists on targeting our Qin Family."
