Chapter 1362: Will Not Resign (1/2)

Qin Lie looked up to his second uncle, Qin Ye from a corner of Sky Bearing City.

The Qin Family’s old patriarch had three sons in total. His oldest son was called Qin Yun, his second son was called Qin Ye, and his youngest son was called Qin Hao.

Qin Yun’s interest was the same as the old patriarch’s. He had spent his whole life refining spirit artifacts, and he wasn’t all that interested in the cultivation of the martial way.

His second son, Qin Ye wasn’t fond of the martial way as well. Instead, he focused solely on the art of refining pills and eventually became the most skilled medicine maker in the Qin Family.

Qin Yun loved to refine spirit artifacts, while Qin Ye loved to refine medicine. They were both outstanding in their own domain of expertise, and their abilities made the Qin Family the indisputable king of both artifact forging and medicine making.

Qin Yun and Qin Ye’s contributions were a large reason why the Qin Family was able to accumulate so much wealth that even the Gold rank forces were envious of them.

Beneath the realm entrance, the gray-haired, dim-eyed Qin Ye couldn’t stop coughing.

He scooped out a couple of pills and stuffed them absentmindedly into his mouth. It was only then his pale white face regained a bit of color. After he was done swallowing the pills, he narrowed his eyes at the city below him and muttered, “It’s been three hundred years.”

Chen Lin and Dan Yuanqing were filled with emotions as well.

“Now that we’re back, we won’t ever leave this place a second time.” Suddenly, a thought entered Qin Ye’s mind before he asked Chen Lin, “By the way, you’re saying that Little Lie is… inside the city?”

The corner of Chen Lin’s lips curled. “The Sky Bearing City can only be reactivated by the Curse Progenitor, and the Curse Progenitor’s body so happens to be in the young master’s hands.”

“Naturally, he must be somewhere inside the city.” Dan Yuanqing smiled.

While speaking, both Chen Lin and Dan Yuanqing quietly released their soul consciousness and wrapped it around the Sky Bearing City like a net to seek out Qin Lie.

“They’re looking for you,” Miao Yizi said softly.

Qin Lie sucked in a deep breath before revealing his own presence to Chen Lin and Dan Yuanqing, giving them a clear idea of where he currently was.

Both Chen Lin and Dan Yuanqing’s eyes lit up before they turned to look at his direction.

“Let’s go.”

Qin Ye, Chen Lin and Dan Yuanqing started descending onto the streets of the Sky Bearing City before many astonished gazes.

An instant later, they stopped right in front of Qin Lie and Miao Yizi.

Chen Lin and Dan Yuanqing stayed where they were once they hit the ground, their eyes smiling. Qin Ye immediately walked towards Qin Lie with a teary look.

Qin Lie’s own shoulders were trembling slightly.

Qin Ye looked both haggard and wizened. He stared at Qin Lie deeply before he finally let out a sigh and patted Qin Lie on the shoulders. “You’ve had a hard life, nephew.”

Qin Ye’s eyes were wet. “I’d asked your father many times to bring you back to Oldenwarm Realm as soon as possible. I didn’t want you to suffer outside. But your father hadn’t ever wanted you to be shamed by a woman like Han Qian again in your life, and he had insisted on letting you forge your path. Now, I finally understood that your father was right. You really have grown up, boy.”

“Second uncle.” Qin Lie bowed respectfully towards Qin Ye.

From the vague memory of his other self, he knew that his second uncle had spoiled him since a very young age. He had always forgiven Qin Lie no matter the crimes he had committed.

Back then, both Qin Shan and Qin Hao were absolutely furious after learning that “Qin Lie” had tried to do evil to Miao Yizi. They had both wanted to punish “him” harshly.

Again, it was his second uncle who had tried everything in his power to dissuade them. He was the one who kept Qin Lie from being subjected to too harsh of a punishment.

Three hundred years earlier, after the news that “he” was murdered by Han Qian had spread across the world, Qin Ye, an old man who had spent his entire life making medicine and was utterly unremarkable in the martial way, had attacked Ninth Heaven like a madman.

Maybe it was because he had never had a child of his own, but Qin Ye treated his nephew like he would have treated his own son.
