Chapter 6: Provocation and Counterattack
Qin Lianshan spoke in a low voice as he tried to control his anger: "Master. Gou Sheng, from the way you speak, you think the Qin family will definitely lose in four years? ”
Gou Sheng slowly said as he lay on the chair: “For the past twenty years, many new powerhouses have appeared in River County. At least seven or eight of these powerhouses were qualified to fight for the Humble Class seats. However, we only have about thirty aristocratic seats big and small in the entire River County. Too many people fight for places. Let's take Mr. Niu, the owner of a potion shop in Eastwood Town, for example. Do you think that you can keep your chair when he has stronger strength and better connections than you? I'm sure Patriarch Qin understands your family's current situation much better than mine, right? "
Upon hearing these words, Qin Lianshan struggled to control his anger and quietly put down his teacup.
“From generation to generation, my family has gone through" Family Class Evaluation "this is more than twenty times. Regarding qualifications, this modern aristocratic family did not even exist when my family was here. The Qin family had seen its ups and downs. Moreover, all the personnel in charge of the "Family Class Evaluation" session were assigned by the Emperor of the Zhen Wu Sacred Ground. No matter what type of network you have, do you think it is possible to expand your connection to the Sacred Ground? "
Qin Lianshan delivered his words in an unhumble or arrogant tone. He knows his family situation. However, as a strong-willed man, how could he show cowardice?
Gou Sheng laughed flatly. He looked at Qin Lianshan strangely; his eyes revealed his unruly behavior. Clearly, he was about to make an attack the moment he changed the way he spoke to Qin Lianshan.
"Brother Lianshan, I am not here to judge you. Although the Qin family had quite an inheritance, it was all in the past. Surely you know the saying "What happened, there," right? In the current situation, were the judges just, wouldn't it lead to individual achievement and moral ethics, in the end? Do you think that His Majesty will have time to care about the personnel assigned in such a small area? Moreover, the rules of this world supported the most suitable survival. It is already a natural law that those with greater power, stronger networks will be in the spotlight and contribute to the country! Who cares what method you use? The inheritance is worthless in our Bai Yue Country … "
Regardless of Qin Lianshan's ability to control his anger, his face suddenly changed when he heard these words. He could not help but flick his sleeves and say: "Master. Gou Sheng, it seems that you are not here to show me a way out for my family. Instead, you're here to destroy that path altogether, right?"
"Rubber!" Gou Sheng stood up and replied in a harsh tone, "Lianshan, please excuse me for my words. Your family will lose the Humble Class seat in" Family Class Evaluation "next. You'll give me that chair no matter what happens. You know much better about your family situation than I do. Once you lose your seat, you lose everything. I thought at that time, you wouldn't want to be empty-handed and fall into poverty, would you? "
"Humph Humph ..." These words must have hit the target when Qin Lianshan gave a cold mockery and replied in a harsh tone, "It seems that Master Gou Sheng still cares about my family? I don't think you're kind? "Just make it easy, don't try to hide it in your stomach."
Gou Sheng laughed recklessly. The angrier Qin Lianshan was, the more pleased he was with himself.
"As I said before, the Xu Wealthy Class family will guarantee the safety of the Qin family if you are willing to give up your aristocratic seat. Or after four years, your family will be destroyed," Gou Sheng said these words directly, but then he added with an evil smile: "Of course, it's still not known if your family can do it in four years."
Qin Lianshan glanced at Xu Sihai and saw he did not even put his reaction in his eyes.
The Xu Wealthy Class was one of the three Wealth Class families in River County. Indeed, the Qin family could not compete with them; he knew that even Xu Sihai alone could slaughter his entire family.
He had to endure this humiliation; if he could not, then he had to force himself to swallow it!
Ka-cha!
The handle of the chair he was sitting on immediately turned into a handful full of food scraps. Qin Lianshan gripped the memo and spoke coldly: "Master. Gou Sheng, Master Xu Sihai, my family's strength has not decreased to the extent that others can do as they please. The Qin family had great difficulty in obtaining this aristocratic seat. I will not give you this position. If you want it, then come to take it. Whether you rob me or make a threat, I'll take all your attacks! "
Gou Sheng's face immediately turned into disdain when he heard these words.
In contrast to the carefree face earlier, Xu Sihai's expression also froze instantly. He shot a deadly gaze towards Qin Lianshan and measured him from top to bottom.
"Patriarch Qin, it seems that you would rather die a noble death than live with shame, right?"
Surprisingly, Wu Xinghe stood up without moving. He seems touched. However, he wanted to see what father would do under these circumstances.
Qin Lianshan let go of his arrogant attitude as he no longer cared if he spoke to the master of the Xu Wealthy family. He rolled his eyes and spoke in a nice voice: "My ancestors have set a rule that anyone who wants to steal from the Qin family property, we will pay him five times more. Whoever tries to harm the Qin family's status, we have to pay them ten times more. Whoever seeks to destroy the Qin family, we will destroy them with everything we have, regardless of the cost! "
This loud and powerful answer immediately revealed Qin Lianshan's attitude very clearly.
"Xiuer, help dad to send guests!"
Enraged, Gou Sheng's face turned purple. Then, he suddenly laughed wickedly.
"You, Qin Lianshan! You asked for it! Good, good, good, I'll spit in your face when your family falls into the street. At that time, don't blame me for dropping a stone on you. ”
When she heard this, Wu Xinghe could not help but laugh. Then, he said: "From your tone, it seems like you didn't come here to drop a stone? Signore. Rest (In Chinese, rhyme leftover with the name Gou Sheng), I will give you a suggestion. All problems come from ambition. Today, you came here to show off your strength and your negotiation skills. Frankly, you rely on a powerhouse and do whatever you want. However, you better be wary of some sneaky attacks because if both the dog and the master are attacked, then the situation will not be good for you at all. "
When Jin Buyi saw Wu Xinghe open her mouth, she came and spoke to him with a smile: "Qin Wushuang, you still need to report back to the Martial Arts Academy because your injury is fine. Your name is still on the school list. Even if you want to get out of school, you still need to fill out some paperwork. However, all noble children should study at the Martial Arts Academy. This is not a solution if you are hiding at home. "
His words sounded as if he cared about Qin Wushuang, but how could Wu Xinghe not see her bad intentions? But he did not expose him and replied: “Of course, I will return to the academy. Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Dean. ”
“Yes, yes, that's great! No matter in whatever situation we are in, you should stay focused on the school on your current stage.” Jin Buyi smiled cunningly and walked out.
"The road is long, and we'll never know what happened. I'm not taking you away. Please be careful on the road, sir. Dean. If you make one wrong move, there may be an unfounded abyss."
His words sounded like advice, but actually, these words contained Wu Xinghe's warnings and threats. However, no one could interpret the meaning of these words at the current stage. Of course, they would never keep a small martial disciple like him in their minds.
After sending three evil guests, Qin Lianshan asked in a serious tone: "Wushuang, you plan to return to the Martial Arts Academy?"
"Why not?"
Wu Xinghe spoke with deep meaning as she looked at the back of the three evil guests.
“Jin Buyi is a famous two-faced snake in River County. Naturally, he did not hide goodwill when he invited you to return to the academy. "
"How could they come up with good intentions when the three joined hands? But since they do have bad intentions, the more reason I have to go back to the Martial Arts Academy and see the situation. It all depends on my attitude if we want to know more. "
Wu Xinghe's logic was simple. You have to experience the situation yourself if you want to know how bad it is. As the old saying goes, "No one dares, no one gets."
Qin Lianshan noticed his son and clearly felt that his son's entire temperament had changed after he went through a disaster. His eyes no longer shunned others or revealed shame like before, what he had now was maturity and confidence. This change was especially evident in the previous situation when three evil guests came to visit. Even with his previous character, his son had tolerated their words to the end. This tolerance is a hundred times better than before.
“Dad, thinking back, I felt that the duel was a conspiracy. This conspiracy is targeting not only me but also our Family Class seats and businesses! "
Qin Lianshan's face showed a seriousness where you couldn't tell his emotions. Of course, he knew about the situation and that was why he wanted his son to stay in Eastwood Town. After all, his family would still be there if his son was here. With him, they have hope.
If something happens to his son, then no one can save the Qin family …
"Wushuang, are you still planning to return to that academy even though you already know everything?" Qin Lianshan wanted to know what was on his son's mind.
"Father, that stupid scholar, Gou Sheng, is a bad person, and he dared to show off at our family home. Of course, he relied on the powerhouse to bully us. However, from another point of view, isn't it because he thinks that the Qin Family is a sick cat and he doesn't need to be afraid of us? "
Qin Lianshan let out a long sigh. He knew his son was right. A hundred years ago, the Qin family was part of the Wealthy Class and had a rapidly growing population. Within River County, no one dared to demonize the Qin family. Not to mention people came to threaten them in their own homes.
"Dad, I've been thinking a lot today. If the Qin family wants to survive, it all depends on you and me. Maybe it wasn't a bad thing when I lost that duel. After all, one was destined to have great luck after surviving a disaster. If I can't get through this challenge and hide in Qin's house whenever something difficult happens, how can I take the family and move forward? "
These words were on target and touched Qin Lianshan's heart. He looked at his son, whose entire body showed some sort of life vitality. His eyes and movements of his body were high spirited which was completely different from his previous conservative character.
Clearly, he felt that his son had been reborn to nirvana after the resurrection.
Finally, Qin Lianshan nodded with wide eyes: "You are a good boy with ambition. I'll let you go! "
Then he spoke in a serious tone: "But, you also have to promise Dad. When you return to the Martial Arts Academy in River County, you must endure all the hardships and never fall into their trap again."
Wu Xinghe suddenly started her heroic spirit when she heard these words. With a hint of arrogance, he moved his mouth and spoke proudly: "Dad, rest assured. After the resurrection, I already knew what to do, and what not to do."
What to do, and what not to do?
Qin Lianshan's tiger-like eyes opened wide when he heard these words. He looked at his son, his eyes filled with deep thoughts.
