Chapter 303: The Manor

"Father, this is the manor I leased. Although it is a bit simple, it is sufficient for a temporary stay," Qin Ming said, pointing to a manor on the outskirts of Chenyang City.

Inside the manor, the flowers and trees were neatly arranged, and the pavilions and buildings were well-equipped, but because the manor had been uninhabited for a long time, it appeared somewhat desolate.

Qin Yuan, walking from behind Qin Ming, stepped forward and carefully examined the manor, nodding with satisfaction: "Qin Ming, having a place to stay is good enough; such a fine manor has already exceeded my expectations."

After speaking, Qin Ming, Qin Yuan, and the others walked into the manor.

Qin Ming had purchased this manor long ago specifically to make the Qin Family's relocation easier. There were thirty or forty Servants cleaning it every day, and upon seeing Qin Ming and the others arrive, some Servants hurried over to pay their respects.

"Young Master Qin!"

"This is my father," Qin Ming said to the Servants, then glanced at the others behind him, "These are all Martial Artists of the Qin Family. From now on, they are the masters here; you must serve them well."

"Yes!" The Servants hurried to welcome the Martial Artists behind Qin Ming into the house and arrange their accommodations.

A Middle-aged Man dressed in black walked up and saluted Qin Ming: "Greetings, Young Master Qin!"

"This is the steward here, named Hong Wu. He is a native of Chenyang City, knows the city very well, and is well-informed. He was the one who helped me purchase this manor," Qin Ming said to Qin Yuan.

Hong Wu was a Martial Artist recruited by Qin Ming in the name of the Feather Transformation Sect, and he was the only Martial Grandmaster recruited in Chenyang City.

After assessing him, Qin Ming found this Martial Artist to be loyal and highly capable, so he appointed him as the steward of this manor.

"Greetings, Master!" the steward in black, Hong Wu, said.

Qin Yuan examined Hong Wu carefully, his brows furrowing as he exclaimed: "Such heavy Killing Intent!"

Qin Ming smiled and said: "Hong Wu has killed quite a few people in the past, so his accumulated Killing Intent is very heavy. I believe it will dissipate after some time."

Killing many people naturally brings with it a thick scent of blood. Ordinary Martial Artists cannot perceive the Killing Intent upon themselves; only those with high martial arts skills or a high spiritual Realm can conceal this aura. Otherwise, one must let time slowly wear away this Killing Intent.

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded at Hong Wu. He had seen many people with heavy Killing Intent, but the reason for his surprise was that Hong Wu's cultivation was clearly at the Peak of the Grand Martial Master Realm. That his son could recruit a Martial Artist of this caliber, and one willing to serve as his steward, was what truly astonished Qin Yuan.

"Let's go, let's head inside. You still haven't told me about your arrangements in Chenyang City!" Qin Yuan said with a chuckle, striding towards the house. Having seen an expert at the Grand Martial Master Realm, Qin Yuan had developed a keen interest in Qin Ming's arrangements.

Inside, the other Martial Artists had gone off to settle in, leaving only Qin Ming and Qin Yuan in the room.

"Father, there are too many arrangements in Chenyang City; I cannot explain them all at once!" Qin Ming said helplessly. It was not that he did not want to tell his father about his arrangements in Chenyang City, but Qin Ming wanted to keep the matters concerning the Feather Transformation Sect confidential. If he were to tell his father about all his arrangements, would that not expose the Feather Transformation Sect?

Aside from the Disciples of the Feather Transformation Sect, the only people who knew of the relationship between the Qin Family and the Feather Transformation Sect were the Martial Artists recruited by Qin Ming.

And these recruited Martial Artists had all been tested by Qin Ming using Medicinal Pills and his own experience; only after ensuring there was no risk of failure did Qin Ming dare to inform them.

Every additional person who knew increased the risk of exposure, and Qin Ming did not want his father to know.
