Chapter 93: The Qin Family’s Spirit Realm Master (2/2)

“Uncle Wen, don’t say anymore. I absolutely won’t let you guys do this.” Su Yinxue’s tone was firm, without the least bit of leeway.

Su Wen knew his lady’s character. If she chose to be stubborn, not even the Family Head could make her change her mind.

“Miss, I am also thinking for the entire Su Family, the lives of several hundred people. Don’t tell me you really have the heart to let them all suffer a violent death because of this youngster? The lives of several hundred people in the Su Family are of lesser importance than this one stranger?” Su Wen tried to persuade her.

Su Yinxue shook her head and sighed, “Uncle Wen, if the Qin Family really dispatches troops, do you think they’ll actually let us go just because we handed Qin Yu over?”

“This……” Su Wen hesitated, momentarily not knowing what to say.

After mixing in the cultivation world for so long, he knew just how cruel it was. The weak was prey to the strong and any reason was enough for the strong to attack the weak. Even if he gave Qin Yu to them for what happened tonight, their fury probably would not be sated with just that. After all, Qin Zhao did die on their Su Family’s grounds.

Moreover, the Qin Family would have mustered their forces and travelled a long way to here. They wouldn’t go back empty handed. Destroying a clan and stealing away all their resources for themselves was something strong powers have always done, especially now when the Qin Family desperately needed resources.

The Qin Family didn’t become a superpower by slowly climbing up and accumulating resources, but because of Qin Yuandao’s existence. With the swift rise in status, comes a need to immediately increase their family’s cultivation which required an enormous amount of cultivation resources. So now that they had a reason to act, they absolutely would not be polite. In Luosang City, the Qin Family had already used this very same method to destroy a few smaller families.

Meaning, everything won’t be solved if they just handed over Qin Yu.

……

“Furthermore, even if we survive by using such a despicable method like selling out others, how will we be able to live peacefully with a clear conscience?” Su Yinxue continued to persuade Su Wen sternly.

Su Wen sighed as he listened to Su Yinxue. A trace of helplessness was visible in his voice as he turned to Qin Yu, “For the sake of the Young Miss, you may leave.”

“I won’t leave.” Qin Yu’s voice was firm, “I won’t leave until three days later. If the Qin Family doesn’t come three days after, I’ll leave immediately. If the Qin Family does come, I’ll sow what I reap and those that I killed, I will take responsibility for. If something happens, I’ll shoulder it.”

His voice was bold, startling Su Wen and Su Yinxue.

Su Yinxue quickly recovered from her surprise, a bright smile on her face: “Sir Qin, we thank you for your good intentions but it’s better for you to go. Tonight’s events is for our Su Family to bear, not you. Furthermore, the Qin Family might not actually travel so far to Bao Ding City. Qin Lai’s words earlier could’ve just been some big talk.”

Su Wen’s heart was anxious as he listened to Su Yinxue’s words. Wasn’t it good that Qin Yu would stay voluntarily? It’s exactly what they wanted, so why are you still trying to get him to leave?

“Miss, since Mr. Qin has the intention to stay, then-” Su Wen couldn’t even finish his sentence before being stopped by Su Yinxue’s cold glare.

“Uncle Wen, there’s no need to say anymore. I’ve already decided. Father isn’t here, so I am the master.” Su Yinxue’s tone was firm and decisive, with a dignified air.

Qin Yu was very surprised. He looked at the beautiful young girl in front of him, his heart filled with questions. Was she really just a maiden in her teens? Her decisiveness and imposing aura was truly rare.

Su Yinxue’s actions caused him to think about himself. Wasn’t he too also in his teens? But he was……

Could Su Yinxue’s soul really be her? Or at least a part of it was her’s…

Qin Yu thought and eventually believed it was possible. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why she was so kind and protective to a stranger like him.

Maybe, deep in her soul, she felt something towards him.

Qin Yu pondered in his heart like that and came to a decision. No matter what, he would protect Su Yinxue.

“Sir Qin, I apologise for what happened tonight. You should leave and perhaps if we have the opportunity again in the future, I’d like to continue discussing verses with you.” Su Yinxue turned to face Qin Yu, her tone apologetic.

Qin Yu nodded, “Miss Yinxue, I appreciate your kindness. Farewell, may we see each other again soon.”

“En, alright. Good bye.” Su Ting smiled slightly. Her beautiful smile was enough to cause the downfall of a country.

After Qin Yu said his farewells, he left the Su Family courtyards.

Su Wen’s lips curved into a strange sneer as he watched Qin Yu’s figure leave the Su Family gates, slowly disappearing into the distance. He was just about to return inside when his footsteps suddenly halted. He stared into the distance, his eyes flashing sharply.

Just now, there seemed to be a shadowy figure chasing in Qin Yu’s direction.

Does somebody else want to kill Qin Yu?

He stood there, hesitating for a while. Perhaps it was out of curiosity, or maybe it was with another purpose, but with a swing of his sleeve, he also turned into a black beam travelling swiftly in Qin Yu’s direction.
