Chapter 38 Recent Developments at the Qin Residence, Liu Xinnian's Visit
Stepping into Tai'an City, I felt a sense of familiarity.
After all, Qin Wu had only been in this world for less than three months.
For two of those months, he lived in Tai'an City.
However, Qin Wu did not initially move around in Tai'an City, so he still felt somewhat unfamiliar with it.
When he arrived at the Qin residence, he paused for a moment.
Unlike its previous air of grandeur, the Qin residence now gave him a sense of desolation.
"Third Young Master, you're finally back!"
The Qin family steward's expression changed immediately upon seeing Qin Wu.
"What's been going on lately?"
Qin Wu frowned.
"It's that Dragon Tiger Gang again..."
The butler, with a mournful face, said:
"Ever since you left, the Dragon Tiger Gang has been suppressing our Qin family. All of our businesses have been shut down by the Dragon Tiger Gang, and the master has lost a lot of weight as a result."
The butler's words caused Qin Wu's eyes to change slightly, and the murderous aura that he had not completely suppressed after killing someone was also revealed.
The butler looked at Qin Wu, whose demeanor had suddenly changed, and unconsciously took a step back, swallowing hard.
What's wrong with the Third Young Master?
It's only been half a month since I last saw him, how come he has such a terrifying aura?
He had only ever seen this feeling in big shots like the leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang.
"Understood, I will handle this personally."
He may not have much affection for the Qin family, but that doesn't mean he can allow the Dragon Tiger Gang to bully him like this.
Qin Wu then entered the mansion.
Qin Youcai and the others quickly received the news and rushed over.
Qin Tong saw Qin Wu, his face cold, and said:
"Qin Wu, my Qin family has treated you well. We have never mistreated you since you were a child. Your father has no power to object to your marriage into the family. How could you do this?"
"Just because you offended the Dragon Tiger Gang, my Qin family has no place to stand in Tai'an City anymore, you..."
Qin Tong immediately launched into a tirade of reprimands.
"That's enough!"
Qin Youcai shouted angrily, stopping Qin Tong from saying anything more.
He looked at Qin Wu with a very complex expression, a mixture of annoyance, unease, and a hint of relief.
If it weren't for Qin Wu, the Qin family wouldn't have fallen to such a state.
But from the few words revealed by the Dragon Tiger Gang, he could guess that Qin Wu was no ordinary person now.
"Third brother, since you left, why are you coming back now?"
The Dragon Tiger Gang is hunting you down. Once they find you, you're dead.
Qin Youcai hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Things at home are not what they used to be. Go to the account and withdraw one hundred taels of silver, then leave. Don't come back anytime soon."
As for your family, as long as they don't catch you, the Dragon Tiger Gang won't go too far.
Qin Youcai's words surprised Qin Wu.
He had been wondering if Qin Youcai would consider sending him to the Dragon Tiger Gang to appease their anger.
If he did that, he would be letting down the original owner of the body.
This was, after all, the original owner's father.
"father!"
Qin Tong spoke anxiously.
"Shut up!"
Qin Youcai shouted angrily.
"This is still your third brother, after all. And the third brother killed so many people from the Dragon Tiger Gang, yet we are still safe and sound. Why do you think that is? Isn't it because we are afraid of the third brother?"
He's lived for decades and built a huge business empire single-handedly; how could he not understand the situation?
Qin Tong looked grim, but didn't say anything more.
Qin Wu, who was listening from the side, was also somewhat moved. His adoptive father was indeed quite capable.
Then he shook his head and said:
"I will deal with the Dragon Tiger Gang matter in due time, but for now, I plan to take a break."
Upon hearing this, Qin Youcai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
If you're willing to stay, that's good.
Offending the Qin family is now a fait accompli. He fears that Qin Wu has no feelings for his family whatsoever, which would be the Qin family's downfall.
"This is your home too, feel free to stay here."
After saying that, he pulled Qin Tong away.
He knew very well that the Qin family had no other choice now.
Stepping out of the courtyard, Qin Youcai looked coldly at Qin Tong.
That idiot, he's only gotten older but his brain hasn't grown.
"Your third brother won't be staying in the manor for long. Remember what I said today, and don't cause me any trouble. Do you understand?"
"I see."
Qin Tong answered in a muffled voice, but his dissatisfaction was impossible to hide.
Qin Youcai looked at him with disappointment and anger, but didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
Qin Tong looked at the third brother's small courtyard behind him, his expression changing repeatedly, a hint of hatred appearing in his eyes.
If it weren't for the third son, how could the Qin family have ended up like this!
But even at this time, the father still showed such favoritism towards the third son.
That's truly despicable!
Filled with deep dissatisfaction, Qin Tong turned and left.
Qin Wu's reason for returning to the Qin family was very simple.
Although he now possesses combat strength comparable to the Qi Refining Realm, he may not yet be a match for the Dragon Tiger Gang.
After his trip to Yonghua City, he had gained a considerable understanding of the world of martial artists.
Qiu Tiannan, the leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang, must be a martial artist at the Meridian Opening Realm.
Moreover, the fact that the Dragon Tiger Gang could dominate Tai'an City is enough to prove Qiu Tiannan's strength.
This person is very likely someone who stands at the pinnacle of the Meridian Opening Realm.
Qin Wu managed to break into the Dragon Tiger Gang alone and leave safely, which now seems to have involved a lot of luck.
If Qiu Tiannan stops him, he will surely die.
However, Qin Wu did not underestimate himself.
Even now, Qiu Tiannan might not be able to keep him.
In the time that followed, Qin Wu returned to his initial state upon arriving in this world, ignoring everything else and focusing solely on cultivation in the courtyard.
Tiger Fiend Technique is, after all, an explosive technique with extremely severe side effects.
Especially since Qin Wu used it twice in a short period of time, even with his physique, he could not completely eliminate the side effects in a short time. It took him several days to fully recover and avoid leaving any hidden injuries.
During this period, Qin Wu continued to practice the White Ape Heavenly Gang Technique.
Although the White Ape Heavenly Gang Technique has been perfected, with the ape soul present, he can still sense the path ahead. However, breaking through to the next level like the Subduing Tiger Fist is not something that can be done in a short time.
However, the ape soul is also undergoing fusion, and it is not far from completing the fusion.
Qin Wu was already looking forward to what his third martial soul would be.
And so, about half a month passed.
During this period, Qin Wu's blood transfusion and marrow cleansing have made great progress, and the Tiger Fiend Technique has been perfected.
Even the White Ape Heavenly Gang Technique has shown some signs of breakthrough.
That day, Qin Wu was practicing in the courtyard, effortlessly displaying various martial arts techniques.
Qin Youcai suddenly came over and said:
"A girl claiming to be a disciple of the Liu Family Martial Arts School came to my door and said she wanted to see you. I told her you hadn't returned yet, but she refused to leave."
Qin Wu stopped what he was doing.
As far as he knew, there was only one female disciple of the Liu Family Martial Arts School, Liu Xinnian, the daughter of the school's master, Liu Chengchuan.
He was a little puzzled as to how Liu Xinnian knew he had returned to Tai'an City.
You should know that he disguised himself when he entered the city.
Or is Liu Xinnian just here to try her luck?
With this question in mind, Qin Wu simply had Qin Youcai bring the person in.
He was planning to visit the Liu Family Martial Arts School in the next few days, since the Qin family didn't have the Eight Treasures Soup to aid in cultivation.
