Rising to his feet, Qin Wushuang’s only feeling was that—he had been reborn.
Besides, this time, his reincarnation felt like the phoenix nirvana where he was reborn from the fire. He opened his eyes to look around and was stunned.
The originally clean rock path had been shattered by an invisible power and left the floor covered in dust. It was about a few meters deep and formed a giant pit.
Although Qin Wushuang had no idea what had happened, he knew that scene was extraordinary. Could it be—Qin Wushuang felt that it was unimaginable.
He still remembered how his father had doubted him when he’d showcased an immense advancement in strength. At that time, he had said that he’d encountered some fortuitous opportunities at the Great Cang Mountains.
Could it be, without him knowing, there was some fortuitous opportunity that called out to him?
Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly as he pondered, good luck should not be this effective, right? He had merely made a joke and it had become true like a prophecy?
Regardless of how Qin Wushuang thought about it, the things that happened to him was indeed, extraordinary and sudden.
Only, he instinctively felt that the Great Cang Mountains were extremely magical. Throughout all this time, Qin Wushuang felt that the mountains had a special attraction that called out to him all the time. Even in his dream, the mountains called out to him.
Could this be a magical power?
He looked at the sky and it was already dusk. When he came out in the morning, he had only practiced a set of . Then, he was attracted by that five rays of light.
His exploration of the cave only took about two hours.
This way, that strange feeling had lasted a full half a day.
Since the sky had become dark, Qin Wushuang decided to go down the mountains. After all, all his movements and decisions were tied to the fate of the entire Royal Qin family.
Normally, to Qin Wushuang, he would wake up early to climb the Great Cang Mountains and return to the manor before noon. However, today, he did not follow his routine. Naturally, his people would worry.
Qin Xiu had always cared for Qin Wushuang and had waited for a while at the waist of the mountain with Da Xi Ming.
"Wushuang…" Qin Xiu immediately stood up.
"Sister, Big Brother Da Xi." When Qin Wushuang saw their expressions, he knew about the care from their hearts and felt very touched.
Qin Xiu immediately pulled Qin Wushuang close and examined him from head to toe. She said with astonishment: "Wushuang, why are your clothes so ragged? Did you fight with a bear?"
To Qin Xiu, the bear was the most vicious animal in this world.
Qin Wushuang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sister, let’s talk about it later. You guys have waited very long, right?"
"Me and Big Brother Da Xi had searched up and down the mountain a few times."
Da Xi Ming had been maintaining a smile all this time. However, when he stopped to look at Qin Wushuang’s eyes, he was suddenly shocked and spoke out: "Wushuang, you…"
"What about me?" Qin Wushuang was stunned.
Indistinctively, Da Xi Ming remained silent. In fact, he could describe in length what exactly had happened. However, his first feeling was that Qin Wushuang had encountered a great change!
Such change was not only to his appearance but to his temperament as well. A change as if a person had been reborn.
Not only did he exhibit changes to his temperament, but also his soul!
Before, Qin Wushuang was formidable and had great strength at a young age. However, he still had some overbearing att.i.tude that could not completely cover the sharpness of a young teenager.
However, now, that form of overbearing att.i.tude had completely disappeared. What he saw was a vastness like the blue sky and the charm like the deep ocean.
It was the charm. Only the word charm could truly describe Da Xi Ming’s feeling at this moment.
A type of peace and profoundness where one regained his natural side had appeared in Qin Wushuang. It was the charm!
Qin Wushuang also knew of Da Xi Ming’s astonishment. Yet, he did not speak a word. He also felt happy for both Da Xi Ming and his sister when he saw both of them were glued to each other.
When he walked down the mountain, Qin Wushuang suddenly remembered something.
Since his sister was going to marry Big Brother Da Xi, her lifetime happiness and safety would still depend on Big Brother Da Xi’s att.i.tude in how he was going to treat her.
"I am resolved to my martial arts training. I most likely can not stay at home for too long. And my sister does not know any martial arts and can not protect herself. She still needs Big Brother Da Xi to protect her. He has great talents and has achieved Stage Five of the Genuine Force at such a young age. For sure, he has potential. If there is a suitable inner force martial arts technique books for him, he would certainly advance greatly—Big Brother Da Xi’s martial arts technique was based on the gentle, reserved and free style, two of Buddhism’s best technique books should be suitable for him…"
In his former world, besides training, Qin Wushuang’s favorite hobby was to collect ancient martial arts technique books. His greatest goal was to collect and organize all the ancient martial arts techniques. He would pa.s.s them down through generations to prevent them from going missing.
Thus, in his head, he had a vast collection of ancient martial arts information in his memory, like a living library.
For a time, many ancient grandmasters had tried to do the things he wanted to. However, when martial arts prospered, there was strong prejudice in the households of martial arts. Different martial arts powerhouses could not exchange techniques at all. Thus, even the greatest grandmasters were not able to accomplish that dream.
By the time it was the 21st century that Qin Wushuang had lived through, ancient martial arts had gradually declined. After a few thousand years of inheritance, the legacy had also dropped between the powerhouses as their thinking stopped being conservative as before.
Thus, after a dozen years of effort, Qin Wushuang had collected most of the precious martial arts technique books.
However, at that time, the a.s.sa.s.sin group had set their eyes on him. Although he had killed those a.s.sa.s.sins, he had died because the Qi had infuriated him and he had reincarnated into this martial arts world.
Therefore, right now, inside his brain, it was an unusual collection like a treasure trove.
When he returned to the manor, he saw Da Xi Heng walking out from his father’s room just as he was about to head in to discuss something with his father.
"Haha, Marquis Wushuang, you are back." Da Xi Heng was in a happy mood, "The King is in the room, you are looking for him, right?"
Qin Wushuang nodded: "Yes."
Br.i.m.m.i.n.g with joy, Da Xi Heng said a few words of courtesy and left.
"Wushuang, come in." Qin Lianshan’s voice emerged from inside.
"Father. It appears that you are in a good mood, is something good happening?" Qin Wushuang was also influenced by their happy smiles and became happy himself.
"Yes, there is. I just discussed a little with Patriarch Da Xi. Your sister and Da Xi Ming is not young anymore…"
"Father, you mean?"
Qin Lianshan nodded: "Yes, it is a great news for our family to be crowned Kings. I want to add another happy event on top of it. Next month on the 8th, we will hold the ceremony."
August 8th did sound like a good day. Qin Wushuang also did not have any doubts about Da Xi Ming’s morality.
Inwardly, Qin Wushuang was feeling truly happy for his sister as she had found a good man that loved her. Of course, he could not find any reason to object to this matter.
No wonder Da Xi Heng had walked out with a face full of smiles a moment ago. It was for this matter.
Now, Qin Xiu’s ident.i.ty was different from before. She was the daughter of a King’s family. And for herself, she had also been bestowed the t.i.tle of "Eastwood Princess." Of course, her ceremony would be extraordinary.
They must sufficiently prepare for all aspects of the ceremony.
Qin Lianshan only had this one daughter. Plus, since Qin Xiu had contributed so much to the family for all these years, of course, she would need a grand marriage ceremony.
Qin Wushuang found Da Xi Ming and exchanged some moves for a while. Then, suddenly, he opened his mouth and said: "Big Brother Da Xi, when I was at the Martial Saint Mountain, the Great Martial Saint had given me three sets of martial techniques. I looked through them and found out that one of them is suitable to your style. From his description, if one could master any of the three martial arts technique books, you would become invincible in the secular world."
Da Xi Ming’s eyes shone.
How could it be a second cla.s.s technique when it was something given by the Martial Saint? Of course, it would be the most precious technique books. Most likely, it would be something that all martial artists in the secular world would yearn for in their dreams.
"Wushuang, you…"
Qin Wushuang nodded and accepted Da Xi Ming’s earnest gaze: "Now, the date of the marriage between you and my sister is set. You are the son-in-law of the Royal Qin family and the prince of the Heavenly Royal Territory. This technique book can be considered the dowry. Only…"
Qin Wushuang stopped for a moment and said: "This technique book is only suitable to your style. Please don’t tell others about it."
Da Xi Ming said earnestly: "Of course, it is the technique book from the Qin, how could I tell others?"
"It’s not because it’s from the Qin, but because it is from the Martial Saint Mountain. If outsiders learned about it, I am afraid the Martial Saint will not be happy."
Da Xi Ming thought for a moment. Then, as if he had suddenly seen the light, he nodded: "You are right."
Qin Wushuang took out the scroll he had prepared earlier: "Big Brother Da Xi, this is the . Please take care of it and don’t lose it."
Da Xi Ming took it respectfully. How could he not be respectful since he was receiving a martial arts technique book from the Martial Saint Mountain?
"Big Brother Da Xi, although our Heavenly Royal Territory has its feudal fiefdom, its location is somewhat awkward. In other words, we don’t have enough power to intimidate others. Although we had the Four Great Honored Warriors support our situation from the last time, those aristocrats in the territory would most likely not be impressed in the bottom of their heart and obey us. On this matter, we need rules."
"Wushuang, what are you planning?"
A ray of determined light shone out from Qin Wushuang’s eyes as he said harshly: "I plan to gather all the aristocrats within the Territory and demonstrate a forceful method to show our power. And to make them obey us completely!"
"Through forceful means?" Da Xi Ming withdrew a breath of cold air.
"As of now, the Royal Qin still does not have enough influence. We have two states in the territory, and two Feudal Lords powerhouses are not enough! At least, inside our feudal fiefdom, there should be a Feudal Lord powerhouse. I’ve thought about it, since the Venerable Da Xi is going to become family with the Royal Qin, it’s time for your family to raise your social status!"
Qin Wushuang’s current plan was to cultivate trusted powerhouses and use it to intimidate the other forces.
"I have made a few contacts with the Xi Men Feudal Lords that reside in the Southcloud State. They should not be a problem. However, I have not made contact with the Nan Gong Feudal Lords. This time, the main focus will be them! As soon the Nan Gong give in, the rest of the powerhouses in the Green Tree state would not dare to not disobey!"
