Chapter 192: Master Qin’s Marriage Proposal
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxi and Qin Haisheng were both stunned.
“My daughter is mischievous. She must have caused other troubles,” Qin Haisheng quickly said.
“Father!” Qin Xiaoxi was not happy to hear this.
“That’s not it.” Jiang Yun looked at Qin Xiaoxi with a half-smile. At this moment, Qin Xiaoxi pouted and began to complain unhappily. “Miss Qin’s talent is extraordinary. She has saved my life many times in critical situations. It’s hard to imagine what would have happened if Miss Qin hadn’t been there.”
“Look, Father. This is what Jiang Yun said,” Qin Xiaoxi muttered.
“Nonsense. How can you call Sect Master Jiang by his name?” Qin Haisheng quickly stopped her. Although he didn’t like the way Qin Xiaoxi spoke to Jiang Yun, he was still in a good mood after hearing his daughter being praised.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoxi smacked her lips and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Jiang Yun, expressing her dissatisfaction in a low voice. Her appearance was like a little rabbit that couldn’t get any benefits. “He’s not older than me…”
After settling Qin Mingzhu, everyone came to the hall.
Jiang Yun drank a mouthful of tea that the servant had poured while Qin Xiaoxi sat across from him.
Besides saving Qin Mingzhu’s life, the other reason for returning to Thunder City was to understand the current situation of the city.
The two of them described the situation of their trip to the Northern Region to Qin Haisheng who was dumbfounded after hearing it.
“It seems that the Power of Blood Shadow has been rooted in this world for thousands of years. No wonder it’s a great disaster.” Qin Haisheng shook his head with a helpless expression.
“That’s true. However, when I returned to Thunder City today, I found that the road was very deserted which was somewhat unusual.” Jiang Yun suddenly recalled this bizarre matter.
“Sigh.” When Qin Haisheng heard Jiang Yun’s question, he quickly knocked his head. “Look at me, I am so muddle-headed that I forgot such an important matter.”
“What happened? I wonder if my three disciples can help.” When Jiang Yun heard Qin Haisheng’s words, he naturally sensed that something was wrong.
“The Sect Master’s three disciples have indeed helped a lot. Recently, Thunder City has not been peaceful.” When Qin Haisheng said this, he quickly sighed. The joy that he originally had immediately disappeared.
“What do you mean?”
“Recently, a group of people with unknown origins appeared in Thunder City. They seem to have colluded with the Emerald Pavilion and quickly formed a new faction that controlled most of the businesses in Thunder City.” Qin Haisheng slammed the table as he said this.
“A new faction? Have you seen this group of people?” Jiang Yun quickly asked.
“I’m not too sure either. It’s said that they’re from a foreign region. Sect Master, your three disciples are already observing them. There should be news soon.”
“Foreign region…” For some reason, Jiang Yun had a bad premonition. When he heard Qin Haisheng mention the words foreign region, Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi quickly looked at each other.
“Where are these people?” Jiang Yun hurriedly asked.
“In the Emerald Pavilion, and they are very secretive. I had sent servants to investigate and found a few things. This group consists of men and women and they are always wearing a hood, but they don’t look like people from Thunder City.” Qin Haisheng tried to recall, he told Jiang Yun about the appearance of these mysterious people.
Jiang Yun stood up when he heard this.
“Are you leaving, Sect Master Jiang?”
“I still have some important things to do.” Jiang Yun smiled politely.
“Alright, but I still have something to ask Sect Master Jiang.” Qin Haisheng said.
“Sect Master Jiang is really young and courageous. I have an embarra.s.sing question.” At this moment, Qin Haisheng placed the teacup in his hand on the table, stood up, and said cheerfully.
“Master Qin, please speak.”
“I wonder if Sect Master has someone in mind?”
Qin Haisheng’s question was obviously forced. Jiang Yun noticed that Mrs. Qin was also continuously winking at him.
“Huh?” Hearing this, Jiang Yun was also stunned.
“Our family is truly grateful for your life-saving grace. Therefore, if you don’t mind, what… what do you…” When Qin Haisheng said this, he suddenly became tongue-tied and stuttered.
Mrs. Qin also cleared her throat and kept blinking her eyes, mumbling something.
What were they up to? Qin Xiaoxi looked at them with a dark expression on her face.
“Although Xiaoxi is mischievous, she has a good nature. Now she is at the age to talk about marriage. What do you think…? I will betroth this little girl to you.”
As soon as these words were said, the other two people were extremely shocked.
Qin Xiaoxi’s face slowly turned from pale to red. She felt her entire body go numb. At this moment, all she wanted to do was find a hole and hide in it. She couldn’t wait to leave immediately.
“Father!” Qin Xiaoxi shouted. Then, she gave Jiang Yun a strange look and rushed out without looking back.
“Xiaoxi!” Qin Haisheng saw Qin Xiaoxi rushing out without looking back. He quickly shouted, but in a short while, Qin Xiaoxi had already disappeared from his sight.
Jiang Yun didn’t know what to say at this moment. He just stood there in a daze.
“Master Qin, I don’t think Miss Xiaoxi has any intention of marrying. Moreover, the Power of Blood Shadow has already made a comeback. I’m afraid I have no time to talk about love affairs.” Jiang Yun’s face was slightly red, but considering the current situation, he still politely rejected Qin Haisheng.
“Alright then. Sect Master Jiang, you should return to work quickly.” Qin Haisheng was a little disappointed, but he still happily prepared to send Sect Master Jiang out of the gate.
“Then I’ll take my leave first.” Jiang Yun quickly bowed and then walked toward the gate of the Qin family.
Seeing Jiang Yun leave, Mrs. Qin hurriedly patted Qin Haisheng’s head. “You old fool, why did you tell Sect Master Jiang such a thing in front of Xiaoxi?”
“Is there anything wrong with that?”
“You old man, you really don’t know how to judge a situation. Xiaoxi may be naughty and lively, but she is still a girl with a delicate mind. What should Xiaoxi do if you talk about this in front of her?”
After being told off by his wife, Qin Haisheng seemed to come to a sudden realization.
“However…”
“Based on my intuition, Sect Master Jiang seems to have a favorable impression of Xiaoxi. Look at his reaction just now, Xiaoxi might be feeling the same.” Mrs. Qin smiled, from her point of view, the two of them seemed to have developed feelings for each other during their trip to the Northern Region.
