AST 1537 - False words can also become true (2/2)

“Baifo, what do you think?” The old man slowly asked.

“I feel that both uncles have a point. No matter what, Our Qin King Manor also represents the royal clan and have always had a good relationship with them. Seeing how audacious the Gu Clan is, that’s the only possibility.” Qin Baifo replied.

“Maybe the Gu Clan wanted to use this incident to probe the response of the royal clan and see if their Gu Clan could take our place.” The old man stated unhurriedly. His archaic voice had an indescribable calmness and foresight to it.

The others were all silent. Qin Baifo paused for a moment before speaking, “Father, what attitude do you think the royal clan would have after this incident?”

“The royal clan only fears two things. The first is powerful external enemies, the second would be powerful enemies from within. We are not their enemies and have no designs on them but the royal clan might not think like this. Hence, what we can do is think of methods to make the royal clan believe in us. On the other hand, we must increase our strength as well to prepare for any unexpected circumstances.” The old man spoke to everyone.

“This matter is very tough to handle. Let’s watch for now and see what movements the royal clan makes.” Qin Tianqiong spoke after thinking about it.

“There’s no hurry. Our Qin King Manor’s actions are in full view of the public. This time, the royal clan didn’t act to help us, so maybe their intentions are to for both us and the Gu Clan to suffer grievous losses. In any case, let’s change the topic and talk about that little lass Qin Qing’s matters instead.”

The moment Qin Qing was brought up, the eyes of many present suddenly brightened.

“I’m sure everyone can already tell that that little lass obtained the inheritance of the Phoenix Battle God. This is something bestowed by Qing Shui, who is also a Battle God Successor. Regarding the both of them, as the father of Qin Qing, do you have anything you want to say, Baifo?” The old man laughed.

“The little girl has already become an adult. Her matters should be decided by herself.” Qin Baifo spoke after contemplation.

Actually even if Qin Baifo didn’t say anything, the others wouldn’t interfere either. Who could afford to do so? Qin Qing was a unique existence within the Qin King Manor. After so many years, she was finally fond of a man. Who dared to object to this? In any case, the two of them still might not end up together.

“No one will interfere in the matters of Qin Qing. But I want to hear what all of you think of Qing Shui.” The old man smiled, staring at Qin Baifo.

“Qing Shui is an extremely rare heaven-defying genius. There are many secrets on his body and he is one of the most talented people I have ever met. I don’t have any opinions on him but if I have to express a concern, it’s that I don’t know if Qin Qing would be able to accept being together with a man who has other wives. Qing Shui would surely never be tied down by one woman. In fact, there should be many other women around him.”

A father knows his daughter best. Qin Baifo was extremely worried about this matter.

“Your point is exactly what I’m worried about. I understand that lass Qin Qing the most. If not, she wouldn’t be single all these years. However, that lass really treats Qing Shui differently compared to other men. She should be in love with him, but the deeper her love is, the more hurt she would be. I’m afraid that our Qin Qing might reach a point in the future where she can extricate herself no longer.” That old man sighed.

The others had nothing to add. After all, it wasn’t their place to say anything at this moment.

“Forget it, since we don’t intend to meddle, we will just let nature takes its course.” The old man contemplated for a while before he smiled.

……

When Qing Shui woke up, it was already late in the afternoon. However, Qing Shui still spent some time in the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal. It basically meant that his injuries were fully healed and when he came out, he saw Qin Qing in the kitchen waiting for him.

“Why didn’t you wake me?” Qing Shui smiled and sat down. Maybe it was because of the words Qin Qing said earlier, Qing Shui was feeling more gutsy today.

“I wanted you to sleep more so your injuries would heal faster.”

“Wow, you are so concerned about me.” Qing Shui smiled at the beautiful lady.

“Will you die if you stop being such a narcissist?” Qin Qing replied impolitely .

“Hehehe.” Qing Shui chortled.

“Let me make some warm dishes for you. Go and wash up first!” Qin Qing stated.

Qing Shui smiled as he saw the flawlessly beautiful figure disappear into the kitchen. This elder sister also has a gentle side to her. He felt a great rush during this exchange.

The dishes prepared couldn’t be considered exquisite but were still decent. Qing Shui didn’t know if they were cooked by Qin Qing. When she served the plates, Qing Shui took out a vat of plum wine and poured a cup for her.

“Little Qing Qing, let’s eat together!” Qing Shui smiled.

“You are not allowed to call me by that name.” Qin Qing helplessly objected.

“Call you what?” Qing Shui laughed.

“Regardless, you are not allowed to!”

“Okay I will call you elder sister then.”

“Can you not be so disgusting?” Qin Qing breathily replied.

“Sister Qing, come and have a drink .” Qing Shui teased her.

Qin Qing raised her wine cup, “This wine is one of the best wines I’ve ever seen, in terms of appearance.”

“It tastes even better than it looks.”
