```
"Oh, quickly tell us!"
```
```
Grandpa Qin eagerly looked at Qin Yu and asked.
```
```
"We don't necessarily have to go to the vast forests of Miaojiang to find her. If I'm not mistaken, she will definitely co to East Sea again. As long as we resolve the matter with Li Xiaozu, we can set a trap and wait for her to show up on her own!"
```
```
Last ti at Yan Mingyu's villa, Miao Xian'er wasn't driven away by Qin Yu but suddenly contracted a strange illness and was taken back to Miaojiang by an old crone accompanying her to recuperate.
```
```
As long as Yan Mingyu and I are still hopping around alive, Miao Xian'er will definitely co to East Sea to kill us both.
```
```
After all, she is the renowned Gu King of Miaojiang, and like the assassin Pei Luoyan, she definitely places great importance on her reputation and will absolutely not tolerate her intended victims living well.
```
```
Then, Qin Yu detailed to his grandfather the process of his encounter with Miao Xian'er and the old crone.
```
```
Only at the end did he say, "Miao Xian'er isn't to be feared, but that old crone is terrifying, I feel she's much more formidable than !"
```
```
"Given what you said, that old crone has likely stepped half a foot into Huajin, you are indeed no match for her. However, I didn't expect that the current Gu King of Miaojiang would be a teenage girl!"
```
```
Grandpa Qin stroked his beard, also finding it sowhat inconceivable.
```
```
"So... Grandpa, if Miao Xian'er and her old crone accomplice co to East Sea again, can you handle that old crone?"
```
```
Qin Yu was well aware that having only just grasped the concept of dark energy, he was no match for an old monster who had half stepped into Huajin. His only hope lay with his grandfather taking action.
```
```
Yet, Grandpa had never ntioned just what realm he had reached.
```
```
Moreover, he had suffered injuries when he was young which affected his legs, drastically reducing his combat effectiveness.
```
```
"Hehe, if my legs were fine, within ten moves, I would definitely capture her. Now, it's more of a fifty-fifty chance!"
```
```
Grandpa Qin said with a wry smile.
```
```
"Grandpa, are you implying that you have already entered Huajin?"
```
```
Qin Yu's eyes widened.
```
```
To capture an old monster who has half-stepped into Huajin within ten moves, what else could he be if not a Huajin master?
```
```
"Xiao Yu, the world is vast. In front of a true martial artist, Huajin really isn't all that significant. Back when I was in the Martial Alliance, I t masters who were even more formidable than Huajin. Later, because of my competitive nature, soone broke my leg and I left the Martial Alliance. I wonder what realm those few old curmudgeons inside are at now!"
```
```
Grandpa Qin stroked his beard with a touch of nostalgia.
```
```
He had never ntioned how his leg got injured all these years, but now, as his grandson was gradually beginning to touch the edge of Martial Forest, he knew it was ti to share so of the martial world's stories with him.
```
```
Otherwise, if he continued believing that Huajin was the pinnacle, he would beco complacent, settling for the status quo, and his martial skills would stagnate.
```
```
"Grandpa, the Martial Alliance? What kind of existence is that?"
```
```
This was the first ti Qin Yu had heard the term "Martial Alliance" from his grandfather.
```
```
"Oh, in today's terms, it's an unofficial organization ford by people in the martial community, local ones are called martial arts associations, but only true martial artists can qualify to form a Martial Alliance. Normally, these people lead their own regular lives and careers, and only show up when sothing major happens."
```
```
Grandpa Qin explained.
```
```
"Mm, I roughly understand!"
```
```
Qin Yu nodded.
```
```
Just like himself, who normally was just a bodyguard by his boss's side. If he wished, he could join the East Sea martial arts association and beco a mber thereof.
```
```
After all, this is a law-abiding society, and with firearms being so powerful, the existence of the Martial Alliance could at best be considered a cultural heritage, not a particularly powerful entity.
```
```
Otherwise, the state would have to intervene and take control.
```
```
"Grandpa, I'll leave Wei'er with you, I'm heading back to the city now!"
```
```
Now was not the ti to delve into martial world anecdotes with Grandpa. Once he resolved the issues with Li Xiaozu and his sister, he would spend a few good days with his grandfather to learn of the martial world's untold tales.
```
```
"Alright, let know as soon as that girl and the old crone co to East Sea again!"
```
```
Qin Wei'er was his granddaughter, and since she was afflicted with the Love Gu, Grandpa Qin wouldn't just stand by.
```
```
"Mm! Grandpa Yan, I'm off!"
```
```
After bidding farewell to Elder Yan, Qin Yu got ready to get into the car.
```
```
"Hey, brother, I don't want to stay here with Grandpa, I want to go find Yupan!"
```
Qin Wei'er beca sowhat anxious.
"Wei'er!"
In Grandpa Qin's hand, a shiny silver needle had appeared at so point, sticking into Qin Wei'er's body.
Suddenly, Qin Wei'er was like she had been struck by a paralyzing spell, unable to move or speak, only glaring with anger in her eyes.
"Ah..."
Qin Yu gently shook his head and drove away from the manor after getting into the car.
He knew that it was Liu Yupan who had poisoned his sister with the Love Gu, but at the mont, he couldn't afford to confront him. The Liu Family had an enormous influence in the East Sea, and a direct confrontation with Liu Yupan, on top of dealing with Pei Luoyan lurking in the shadows, was simply beyond him.
He could only bide his ti and deal with Pei Luoyan first before settling the score with Liu Yupan.
Qin Yu was indeed brave and loathed evil, but that didn't an he was reckless and lacked strategy.
Shortly after,
Qin Yu stopped the car at the entrance of Haikang Hospital.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Tang Xuanwu walking out alone.
"Where's President Yan?"
Qiu Yu casually asked.
"She went back to the company to take care of so affairs, and I'm staying at the hospital. By the way, what brings you here? Isn't Pei Luoyan after your family?"
Tang Xuanwu looked at Qin Yu indifferently.
These scions of wealthy families might appear low-key and affable on the surface, seemingly without any sharp edges, but an air of arrogance and refinent still radiated from their bones and was easy to feel.
In his eyes, Qin Yu was just a sowhat capable bodyguard, not on the sa level as himself at all.
If it weren't for Yan Mingyu's sake, he probably wouldn't even bother talking to Qin Yu.
Would a normal person idle away the ti chatting with ants?
"I'm part of the Four Seas Corporation, and the company's affairs are my affairs. Why shouldn't I be here?"
Qin Yu said confidently.
"My point is, I'm here, and that's enough! If Miss Yan knew you left your family unprotected and ran to the hospital, she would definitely be unhappy about it!"
Tang Xuanwu's words were filled with strong confidence. Moreover, he invoked Yan Mingyu's na to pressure Qin Yu, not wanting him hovering around.
"My family, I will—"
"Ringing..."
Qin Yu frowned as his phone started to ring before he could finish his sentence.
"Hello?"
Qin Yu glanced at the screen, it was an unfamiliar number.
"Are you Qin Jianjun's son? We're the police. Co to the hospital!"
A man's voice ca from the other end of the line.
"Yes, I'm Qin Jianjun's son. What happened to my dad?"
Qin Yu's heart sank as he asked.
"He's been poisoned by a dication. The nurse on duty has been detained by us, and he's currently in resuscitation. Co quickly!"
The call was ended after the voice finished speaking. Read new chapters at empire
God damn it!
Had Pei Luoyan made another move against his father?
Anger blazed within Qin Yu's heart, igniting instantly.
