Chapter 88: Qin Family Countermeasures
After returning home, Qin Ming walked towards the room with his younger sister, intending to refine some candy beans for her to eat.
The candy beans he refined last time were for his sister's Body Refining, so she couldn't eat many; she could only eat one a day.
His sister had complained to him quite a bit about this.
For Qin Qing, being able to see them but not eat them was a form of torture.
That was why his sister was so anxious for him to refine some candy beans specifically for her.
Just then, a Servant saw Qin Ming and shouted:
"Young Master, wait a moment!"
Seeing the Servant rushing over, Qin Ming frowned.
In the Qin Family, these Servants were very disciplined; they were not allowed to run around or shout loudly. Since this Servant was so flustered, there must be some important matter.
Sure enough, after the Servant approached, he said anxiously:
"Young Master, the Family Head and the Elders are all in the main hall. They told me to come and call you; it's very urgent!"
Qin Ming nodded:
"I understand. You can go back to your work; I will head over there now."
The Servant bowed and left.
"Sister!" Qin Ming turned around and called out.
"I know, I know!" Qin Qing waved her hand. "You go do your work. I won't go; I wouldn't understand it anyway."
Qin Ming promised:
"Once I'm finished with this, I will definitely refine some candy beans for you."
After repeated assurances, Qin Ming finally got Qin Qing to leave happily. For this, Qin Ming had signed a series of unequal treaties.
In the Qin Family main hall, several Elders and the Qin Family Head, Qin Yuan, were already there.
By the time Qin Ming arrived, they had already been discussing for some time.
"Father, Elders," Qin Ming bowed and said.
Qin Yuan was sitting at the head of the table. Seeing Qin Ming arrive, he said happily:
"Minger, find a seat. Many things have happened this time! You should listen as well."
Qin Ming found a seat and sat down, listening carefully to the discussion between the Elders and his father.
"Starting last night, the City Guards have been searching for someone, and it ended this morning. They must have found them."
An Elder said.
Qin Yuan nodded. Such a big event happening in Liu City, of course, he knew about it.
"I wonder who they are looking for, and if it might be related to the people who attacked the Qin Family yesterday?"
The Elders looked at each other; they didn't know either.
"There is another matter, which is quite significant. City Lord Qian and the Chen Family actually visited the Wang Family together today; we must be on guard."
An elderly man with gray hair said.
Qin Yuan frowned.
This was a major event.
Given the nature of City Lord Qian and the Chen Family Head, they were probably plotting something malicious again.
The Qin Family's great situation must not be ruined just like this.
The Qin Family was now like it was before a storm; it looked calm, but the atmosphere was oppressive, and it felt as if a hurricane and torrential rain could strike at any moment.
"Have our people received any news about what they were discussing?"
Qin Yuan asked in a deep voice.
"No!" An Elder shook his head and said helplessly:
"Their conversation this time was very covert; our people didn't get any information at all."
"It seems they are planning a big move!"
Qin Yuan sighed.
It was all because the Qin Family's strength was too weak. If they had several Great Martial Masters, even if all the Families in Liu City banded together, his Qin Family would not be afraid.
Sure enough, strength is the ultimate truth.
"Father, let's not worry for now. The most important thing right now is to discuss this with the Ouyang Family. See if they have received any news. Also, no matter what they are discussing, it will ultimately lead to a battle. We must make preparations early and gather all the strength we can."
Qin Ming stood up and said.
