Chapter 21: Donglin Town's Arch-nemesis, the Niu Family (Vote Requested)

  In the depths of the vast and desolate Mount Canglang, Qin Wushuang shouted out a single phrase of his oral formula.

  "Step like a plow, land like a root!"

  Hu Ziyin took a step forward, like a deep pool and a towering mountain peak. With a loud "hiss", he punched out a fist, and the wind was stirred up.

  "Upper plate nine days of blue dragon, lower plate old tree deep root."

  Ha! Another punch.

  "The Eighteen Plates" this attacking martial art, after more than a year of practice, Hu Ziyin has become extremely proficient. Fang Xiaozhong is not bad either, his "Spirit Snake Embrace" is also full of clever and subtle moves.

  At this time, there was less than a year left before the Wu Tong test. Qin Wusuo taught them each a set of attacking martial skills and also taught them some body methods.

  For now, I can only help them this much.

  With their current situation, if they practice for another year, their scores in the Wu Tong test will definitely not be bad.

  As for his own profound and extraordinary skills, if they hadn't reached the True Martial Realm yet, teaching them would be pointless. If in the future there's a chance, Qin Wushuang wouldn't mind pulling them up again.

  Qin Wushuang practiced the "Inferno Scripture" for a while, then practiced the "Condensed Sun Finger" for a while, and only then did he make the "Nine Yang Palm" his main practice, practicing it for another period of time.

  The eighth palm of "Jiuyang Palm", "Bayang Fenhuang", he has also initially grasped the key, only lacking some time to consolidate and enhance the fire level.

  If this "Eight Yangs Burn the Wastes" can be used freely, then one will absolutely possess the true martial realm's seventh stage of hard battle strength!

  There is still a year's time, Qin Wushuang now has some expectations for the upcoming exam.

  The Wang family needs at least one high-ranking expert in the True Martial Realm's second stage to preside over it.

  A great family would need at least a Fourth-Order True Martial Realm expert to preside over it.

  In other words, as long as a family has a master of the True Martial Realm Fourth Stage, they have the qualifications to compete for the title of Great Family.

  Of course, this is just a basic value requirement. In fact, the actual strength of each noble family must be higher than this base value.

  Qin Wushuang never forgot his father's words. He was well aware that the powerful families of Xu and Zhang had always coveted the Qin family business, and were ruthless enough to try to kill him, the only heir.

  People with such a wolf-like mentality will never give up until they achieve their goal. The last time that guest, Guo Sheng, came to persuade Xiang on behalf of the Huxian clan, it perfectly illustrated this point!

  In this world, there are many who speak of profit but few who discuss righteousness. A powerful family like the Xu's, which has obtained a noble position, is absolutely not made up of kind and honest people. For the sake of interest, they will stop at nothing.

  But as a person who has lived for two lifetimes, is Qin Wushuang really such a soft persimmon that can be taken advantage of by anyone?

  The answer is definite.

  The Xus want to swallow up the Qin family's foundation? I'll take the initiative and make the first move against them!

  Zhenwu Realm Fourth Stage. I hope that there will be more Zhenwu Realm Fourth Stage experts from the Xue family, otherwise, it won't be very enjoyable to start a fight.

  At this thought, Qin Wushuang suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming fiercely as he gazed down at Donglintown. He said coldly: "Whoever wants to come and plot against my Qin family should be prepared for rivers of blood..."

  "Musou, musou, let's eat."

  Down from the mountain, a familiar call came from sister Qin Xiu at the foot of the mountain. Qin Xiu was now used to waiting for her brother to come home for lunch every noon here.

  Looking from afar at his sister's slender figure, Qin Wushuang's heart was filled with warmth once again.

  Sister Qin Xiu is already a 21-year-old girl. In order to share some family affairs with her father, she has been waiting until now and still hasn't gotten married.

  At her age, many girls have already been married for four or five years.

  She was in charge of collecting rent for the Qin family's fields since she was sixteen. The Qin family treated their tenants very well, and the rent collection rate was also the lowest in the entire Luojiang County, which made them very popular among the tenants.

  "Sister, you guys go ahead and eat, don't wait for me." Qin Wushuang smiled as she walked up. Towards her sister, Qin Wushuang always felt a bit guilty. She knew that her sister was still unmarried until now, purely because she herself had not grown up yet, unable to help her father share his worries, so as the daughter, she took on the heavy responsibilities of the family.

  "How can that be? We're a family, and we can't have dinner without one of us!"

  Qin Yu's demeanor was elegant and refined, her temperament and appearance absolutely no inferior to those of any noble family's young mistress.

  Pulling Qin Wusong beside her and comparing their heights, she praised, "Wusong, you're growing up fast! Only fifteen years old, already taller than your sister."

  "That's because you gave in to me, sister." Qin Wushuang smiled and said.

  "Sister can give in on anything to you, but this matter, really can't be given in." Qin Xiao also smiled and the two siblings chatted and laughed as they returned home.

  What Qin Xiao didn't expect was that while she went out to welcome her brother, there were actually guests at home, and they were the ones she least wanted to see.

  Donglin Pharmacy owner, Niu family father and son.

  The big shopkeeper Niu Da chuckled loudly and said, "Ah, Miss Xiao is back. Xiao Fen, go keep Miss Xiao company and chat with her."

  Next to him was a young martial artist in his early twenties, whose appearance could be described as "extremely unorthodox" using Qin Wushuang's previous life's popular phrase.

  Especially one big mouth, ordinary people's two mouths are also afraid of being on that scale.

  Laughing like a flood of river water, spitting out saliva everywhere, extremely annoying.

  Qin Wushuang knew that this was Niu Da's eldest son, Niu Fen (look at this unlucky child, with a name like that), and the older brother of Wu Tongyuan's disciple, Niu Dou.

  "Lian Shan, little brother, my son Xiao Fen has been studying martial arts abroad for the past decade and is now a 9th dan in the realm of martial arts. Given time, he will surely surpass me, his father."

  Qin Wushuang laughed: "Boss Niu, are you introducing your son-in-law or showing off your martial arts skills? Either way, please keep your voice down. The mother cow in my backyard is still sleeping."

  "Does your family raise cattle?" The cow boss was taken aback, seeing Qin Wushuang's back and Qin Xiu's low smile without speaking, immediately understanding that this was a snub to himself, secretly scolding the little rabbit for being cunning.

  However, he is deep in his city and does not get angry. The purpose of this trip is to propose a marriage, which is false, but to plot the humble status of the Qin family, that is the true ambition.

  "Haha, Lian Shan my younger brother, I'm a straightforward person who doesn't speak in riddles. Today, I brought my son Xiao Fen along, first to propose a marriage between our families; secondly, also to discuss the cooperation between our two families." Niu Da's face was calm and collected.

  Qin Lianshan remained unchanged in response to countless changes: "Boss Niu might as well make things clearer."

  Beside him, Qin Wushuang suddenly said: "If Mr. Niu is here to discuss the matter of the cold door seat with my Qin family, I'm afraid you're too late."

  "Too late?" Niu Da furrowed his brow.

  "Yes, the Lord of Luojiang County City, Mr. Xu, had already sent someone to deliver a stern message. Not only did he want to take away our humble family's seat, but also wanted the Qin family to be destroyed and its people scattered."

  "Huh? Is that so?" Boss Niu pretended to be confused, and asked Qin Lianshan in a probing tone, "Brother Lianshan, the wealthy and powerful Xu family is the dominant force in Luojiang County, nothing can be done without their permission. What do you plan to do?"

  Qin Wushuang didn't wait for his father to speak, and immediately rejected him, saying: "We're waiting for the mighty power of the Xus to be unleashed! Boss Niu, your intentions are probably eight or nine out of ten, that's about it? If so, then go back where you came from!"

  Niu Da looked at Qin Lian Shan and said sarcastically, "Lian Shan, you Qin family now only have children speaking nonsense here, can't even make decisions?"

  Qin Lianshan's eyes turned cold, and he asked in a stern tone: "Am I the one in charge? Do you all acknowledge me as the one in charge? If I say that no matter what, my Qin family will not give up this position of leader of the Cold Gate sect, what would Cow Boss do?"

  Niu Da laughed: "Things in this world have their ups and downs, gains and losses. Brother Lian Shan, you can't be so narrow-minded as to fight for temporary gains and losses. You should know that taking a step back will give you a broader horizon!"

  "Take a step back? Take another step back and my Qin family will be ordinary civilians, with nothing! Where is the vast ocean, where is the sky? At that time, I'm afraid even wanting to be a slave peacefully will be impossible. Mr. Niu, no matter what method you want to use to persuade me, give up on it. My martial arts skills may not be high, but this spine of mine is still very strong!"

  "Xiao Er, Wu Shuang, see our guest off on behalf of Father!"

  Niu and his son were both displeased, and were sent out the door by Qin Wushuang. Niu was furious and spat on the ground, then turned to Qin Wushuang and said: "You little brat, if your father doesn't marry Qin Xiu to me today, even if he comes crawling back later begging me to take her, don't think I'll consider it!"

  "Don't worry, Niu Dashao. Even if it's our family's cow, it wouldn't be so lacking in taste. You'd better go back where you came from!"

  The gate closed with a bang, leaving the Niu family father and son with a bellyful of bad luck.
