Chapter 62: Emergency

Translator: Jillian Editor: JimmyWhen Qin Wushuang arrived at the Windy Pool Restaurant, he drank a few rounds for his fatherand paid back with some rounds. During the banquet, a lot of his former classmates from theMartial Arts Academy came with their parents. They appeared awkward and uncomfortable infront of Qin Wushuang,but with the help of alcohol, they all stammered out an apology.Maybe the former Qin Wushuang would have gotten into some small conflicts with thesepeople, but the truth was, Qin Wushuang did not remember most of them. Instead, he justlaughed it away.However, his attitude, in the eyes of those martial arts students and their parents, was viewedas an act of generosity. Inwardly, they were complimenting him on being a generous offspringof the Wealthy class.“Young Master Qin.”A call came from behind just as Qin Wushuang was preparing to leave after he’d shared severalrounds of drinks,."Hm?" He turned his head and saw that mysterious girl who had always accompanied sisters ofthe Yun family. When they were on the streets, the strange gaze Qin Wushuang had feltdefinitely came from this girl.“Can I talk to you privately?”As if she was afraid that Qin Wushuang would refuse, she added confidently: “I promise, I havesomething that Young Master Qin would care about very much.”Qin Wushuang looked at this girl meaningfully, and made a gesture toward the door: “Please.”When they walked out the door, two or three drunk people were still wandering around on thestreet. Singing the local tunes with a bawdy lyrics, they were drunk out of their minds.The girl stopped when they had arrived at a quiet place. Suddenly, she said: "Does Young MasterQin know that an invisible danger is gathering around the Qin?"These words were very sudden, and Qin Wushuang had not expected it. He raised his head andstared at this strange girl. Inwardly, he pondered the hidden meaning beneath her words.The girl smiled lightly: “Is Young Master trying to guess the meaning of my words?”Qin Wushuang did not deny her guess: “Forgive me for being slow, truthfully, I don’tunderstand what you mean.”"Ok, then let us help one another. I only need Young Master to give me his promise, and I willtell everything immediately."Qin Wushuang knew she was keeping him in suspense and he would not get anything out ofher.“What kind of promise?”

"Don't be nervous, Young Master Qin. This pledge is not asking you to murder or commit arson.Anyways, it won’t involve harming anyone. For now, I cannot say. If I ask you one day in thefuture, Young Master Qin cannot refuse. How about it?"When she finished, that girl looked at Qin Wushuang with an expectant gaze and waited for hisanswer.

“Are you done?” Qin Wushuang asked lightly.“I am done.”“Good, then excuse me.” Qin Wushuang turned around and started walking away."Hey!" That girl hadn’t expected Qin Wushuang would ignore her offer and immediately walkaway. While hurried to catch up, she yelled out: "Seriously, you are not going to listen?""I am not interested in a bargain with a stranger, nor do I want to make a promise to doanything for a stranger.""Oh." That girl revealed a proud smile and said leisurely: "I understand, you are scared of me."Qin Wushuang suddenly stopped and sneered: “So how are you compared to Xi Men FeudalLords?”“Xi Men Feudal Lords, such a famous name.”“Yes, I am not even scared of Xi Men Feudal Lords, do you think you have something that Ishould be scared of?”That girl laughed: “Right, I don’t have anything you should be scared of. Then, why are you notgoing to allow me to finish me talking?”"I’m not interested." Qin Wushuang left these three words. Qin Wushuang believed in thesaying of judging one by the company they keep. Since this girl had a close relationship withthe Yun sisters, then she was definitely the arrogant princess type. He was not interested inserving her."Qin Wushuang, stop." That girl suddenly clenched her teeth and yelled angrily, "If you leavenow, I would vouch with my lady's innocent reputation, that you will definitely regret for therest of your life!"Qin Wushuang's tiger-like body trembled slightly. Since a girl was vouching with herreputation, then this matter would not be simple."Girl, if you have some secret information, please tell me. I, Qin Wushuang, am clear on thedistinction between grudges and gratitude, and I will never go back on my word. As forpromises, do you think you can trust the promise of someone you have never met before?""I believe; since it's your promise, I will believe it." That girl lightly bit her lips, "Ok, I don't needyour pledges. I only want you to know that this is an important matter."“Please,,” Qin Wushuang said seriously.That girl nodded: "Ok, from my sources, the Xu will soon be making big moves. They areundoubtedly targeting your Qin family. They will most likely leave tonight. Although I don'tknow the details of the plan, I am confident that they will act soon."“Where did you get your information?”

"I have a good friend who is a close friend with Xu Sanli's eldest son, Xu Zhou. And this Xu Zhouwas behaving very strangely recently. From the details, the Xu have a motivation to act againstyour family."Qin Wushuang thoughts quickly raced and was already considering which path the Xu wouldtake if they wanted revenge?Assassination? The Xu should have already recognized the difference between them since their

failure on the battle stage. Besides, the mighty warrior of the Xi Men Feudal Lords surely wouldhave warned the Xu since their last visit.Then?The color on Qin Wushuang’s face slightly changed. He cupped his hands in a salute: “Thankyou for your information. Your help today, someday I will definitely repay you.”That girl finally nodded with satisfaction: “Sure, sure…”Just as she was considering keeping him in waiting, Qin Wushuang had already left quickly. Herpink face blushed as she stomp on the ground and said in frustration: "Wow, you are not evenasking my name, how can you talk about repaying me!"Quickly thinking, she yelled: “Qin Wushuang, if you wanted to pay me back, come find me at theRedwood Martial Arts Academy!”…"Big Brother Da Xi, I want to ask a favor from you." Qin Wushuang found Da Xi Ming by himselfand said straightforwardly."Why are you being so polite?" Da Xi Ming said with some surprise.“Ok, for tonight, Big Brother Da Xi, please look after my sister. Tomorrow, I will invite you tocome with your grandmother and my sister to the Qin house. Would Big Brother Da Xi have anyproblem with it?”“No,” Da Xi Ming immediately answered and asked: “Did something happen?”“No time for explanation. I will thank Big Brother when I return.Following that, he returned to Windy Pool Restaurant and whispered a few words next to hisfather’s ear. Qin Lianshan’s expression instantly froze. He stood up quickly and cupped hishands: “Everyone, today, I am getting rather drunk. Some other day, I will set up a feast in myhouse. In that time, i hope you will all come.”“Sure, sure, we will surely come.”“Brother Lianshan, Wushuang, come to visit at my place if you have time?”While Qin Lianshan interacted with them, he also walked over to where the officials of the ZhenWu Holy Place sat. Elder Zhou immediately stood up and came over when he saw the nastycolor on Qin Lianshan and Qin Wushuang’s face. He whispered: “What happened?”"Elder Zhou, I heard that the Xu will be making big moves soon. They are plotting to deal withmy family. It’s easy to dodge the spears in the open, but hard to avoid a stab in the dark. Usthree have left a while ago from Eastwood Town, I am afraid the Xu will cause trouble for ourtown in secret.”Elder Zhou slightly frowned and nodded: “Indeed, you must guard it. What is your plan?”

Qin Lianshan said anxiously: “We will ride back to the Qin house right now. Any delay and wewill be too late.”“Ok, you can go and grab two of my best horses. Hurry.”The father and son of the Qin family did not show any courtesy and borrowed the two bestqualityhorses. Then, they rushed toward their home in Eastwood Town.Although the Xu could not deal with them, they still had the capability to cause trouble at the

Qin house. The rest was easy to take care of, but the Qin's ancestor house was at their home. Ifthe Xu attacked and destroyed the ancestor's home, Qin Lianshan would most likely not be ableto feel at peace for the rest of his life since generations of his ancestor's souls would bedisturbed."Hurry, Wushuang, quicker." Qin Lianshan rushed him, "I have a terrible feeling."Along the road, Qin Wushuang stopped a few times. Each time when he climbed down from thehorse, he grabbed some dirt. He checked the dirt marks and the plants on the side.His expression became even sterner as he muttered: "A large group of people indeed wenttoward the direction of the Qin house. Fortunately, it has not been too long. If we travel as fastas possible, maybe we can make it."Both father and the son were very impatient. They rode as fast as possible and only wished tothe horse would grow wings to fly back to their home.With the tyrannical characters of the Xu, once they decided to take revenge, they woulddefinitely use ruthless methods worse than gnawing your heart.…Right now, the Qin house was brightly lit. All the servants of the house had received the goodnews that the Qin had won. Under the direction of manager Qin Sixi, they were bustling withactivity as they decorated the house with lights and lanterns.Although there was few members in the direct line of descent in the Qin family, they had a lot ofservants. Plus, the Qin treated the servants very well despite being aristocrats. Thus, theservants followed the family with their whole heart.The whole Qin manor was bathed in a harmonious atmosphere."Nine, why is one side of these two large lanterns higher than the other? The left one, pull ithigher a little. Yes, it must be balanced…" Qin Sixi proudly directed and organized thedecorations and felt very satisfied as he watched everyone being busy.He wanted to prepare everything before the patriarch returned. So when the patriarch returned,the first thing he would see would be a scene of celebration.“Little Seven, grab a long ladder to here. Be careful, don’t touch the lanterns.”"Monkey-Six, tomorrow morning, go buy some hanging firecrackers. Buy those that emits abright and loud sound. When the Patriarch and the family returns, we will welcome them alongthe way with firecrackers.""Alright, Master Four, in the future, we are all servants of the Wealthy Class! Haha."“Idiot, already, you are acting like one?”

"Haha, Master Four, don't blame me for doing this. The world is such a cold place. Do you stillremember Little Li from the west side tofu shop?”"I do, you have liked her for quite a while. But her mother didn't like your lower backgroundwhere you had no future! What, something is going well?"Monkey-Six chirped: "Master Four, it's more than going well! This afternoon, Little Li came totell me that her mother is no longer against us seeing each other. Today, it was her mother thattold her to come to find me."

With a Pa sound, Qin Sixi said: "Such an opportunist, you will suffer from having such amother-in-law.”Monkey-Six laughed happily: "Master Four, Little Li is not like that, it's her mother. And I amnot going to spend my days with her mother, right?""Stupid reason," Qin Sixi replied with a smile for he was also happy for him. He reminded him:"It's okay to be happy, but you must take care of these things first. Don't delay the celebrationfor the masters.""Of course, without the brave performance from the Patriarch and young Master, we would nothave our happy life. For the family, I will go through water and dive into the fire without asecond to think."Just when they were lively chatting away, from afar, the sounds of numerous horse hoovescame thundering down the limestone street.This sound of the hooves seemed rushed as it quickly raced toward the direction of the Qinhouse."The Patriarch came back during the night?" Monkey-Six was triumphant; then he turnedworried: "I still haven't brought the firecrackers, what should I do?"Qin Sixi was, after all, very experienced. After he had listened the sounds fora bit, he shook hishead: "This should not be the Patriarch and his people. The hooves did not seem to be returningin victory."“Then, is…”Suddenly, Qin Sixi's face changed, and he hurriedly called out to everyone: "Everyone, get insidethe manor and close the door tightly. Gear up and ready the defenses; the entire house will soonbe in an emergency! Quick…Quick!"When he said these words, people around him immediately fell into a panic.Fortunately, the Qin had trained the servants well. And since they also had guards, theyimmediately followed the order.Bang Bang Bang!The gates immediately closed, one after another.The defensive measures and traps were quickly readied. And the entire squadron of the family’sguards were instantly assembled.The sound of the hooves stopped just outside the gates of the Qin house. Xu Sanli had led thisteam himself. Besides the direct line of descent of the Xu, dozens of core family guards alsofollowed them.

Xu Sanli, Elder Yue, Xu Zhou and his two brothers were the main force in this group.“Elder Yue, it seems that the Qin had already received the good news! They lit up the lanternsand decided to celebrate early. We will let them experience the so-called turning extreme joyinto sorrow!”Xu Sanli reined in the horse’s bridle and stared at the Qin house with a malevolent expression.His eyes were bright with hatred.
