Mr. Ouyang’s concerns

With nothing left to do here, Qin Ming felt reassured and returned to his own Cultivation Chamber.

His presence here had mainly been to worry that some Family members might not cooperate, and he wanted to back his father up.

His father had more prestige than he had imagined; he realized that his presence here was basically redundant.

…

Liu City, Ouyang Family residence.

Ouyang Xiaoxiao looked at the lake in front of the courtyard, recalling the times in the past when Qin Ming had appeared here, and she couldn't help but become a bit dazed.

She and Qin Ming had met on the small path in front of this lake. That time, she had bumped straight into him, and Qin Ming had gently helped her up. This place was filled with memories of the two of them.

Just then, a maid ran in, looking flustered.

"Young Miss, Young Miss, good news!" The maid was beautiful and light on her feet.

These days, ever since the Qin Family and the Ouyang Family had split Liu City between them, the entire Ouyang Family had been having an easier time, and resources had become more abundant.

Many maids had been added, and this maid who had just come over was one of those recruited after the Ouyang Family had prospered.

"What good news?" Hearing the maid's shout, Ouyang Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze.

"Young Master Qin has returned to Chenyang City!" the maid said happily. She knew that the Young Miss's heart was completely filled with Young Master Qin, causing her to often drift off into a daze, so whenever there was news about Young Master Qin, she would tell the Young Miss immediately.

Upon hearing the three words "Young Master Qin," Ouyang Xiaoxiao, who had previously been a bit dazed, instantly broke into a smile, like a flower blooming in spring.

"Really?" Ouyang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. "Last time he came back, he left after only a short while. This time, I must see him before he leaves."

She knew that as the heir of the Qin Family and also a Pill Dao Genius, Qin Ming was always very busy, and she didn't know when he might leave again.

"Go, go, hurry and prepare the carriage for me. We are going to Chenyang City." Ouyang Xiaoxiao lifted her skirt and walked towards the door.

The maid smiled softly and said, "Young Miss, the carriage has already been prepared for you; it is right outside the door."

"Good." Ouyang Xiaoxiao immediately quickened her pace, changing from a walk into a jog, her whole person radiating brilliance.

"Xiaoxiao." Just then, a dignified voice rang out.

"Father." Ouyang Xiaoxiao saw her aged father appear at the courtyard entrance, looking at her with a complex expression.

He was the head of the Ouyang Family, and people respectfully called him Old Master Ouyang.

"What is it, Father?" Ouyang Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled.

"Are you planning to go to Chenyang City?" Old Master Ouyang opened his mouth and asked.

A blush appeared on Ouyang Xiaoxiao's face, and she said softly, "Father, our Ouyang Family and the Qin Family are allies, and we haven't interacted for a long time. This time, I want to visit the Qin Family."

"You are going to see Qin Ming, right!" Old Master Ouyang said directly.

"Father!" Ouyang Xiaoxiao said, acting coyly out of shyness.

After a pause, Old Master Ouyang said earnestly, "The possibility of you two being together is very low. You need to be mentally prepared for that."

Ouyang Xiaoxiao's expression became tense: "Wh… why?"

"Do you know about the Qin Family's recent actions?" Old Master Ouyang said. "This time, the Qin Family has provoked the Shen Family of Stone City, so they plan to relocate the entire Family."

"Father, are you afraid that I will encounter danger if I am with Qin Ming? I am not afraid!" Ouyang Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with determination.

Shaking his head, Old Master Ouyang sighed: "I am not afraid that you will encounter danger by marrying into the Qin Family. The danger the Qin Family is facing this time is indeed extraordinary, but I believe that with Qin Ming's capabilities, the Qin Family should be able to overcome it."

"What I am worried about is that Qin Ming is not a creature of the pond. You are not a match for him, and our Ouyang Family is not a match for him."
