Chapter Thirty-One Inheritance

  "Where did you find this stinky kid?"

  He dragged his disciple back, saying: "Not to mention that you are now trapped in prison, and can't even get out of this small cell, even if Master takes the risk to let you out, where can you go?"

  "Even if we can't find it, we have to go look for it! Master, disciple is begging you!"

  Qin Feng's knees went weak and he fell to the ground, the words Zai Yi spoke had a huge impact on him. The joy of having his parents in this world mixed with his own self-loathing, Qin Feng couldn't even describe his emotions anymore.

  "Qin Feng, I was just discussing your fate with you earlier. What I wanted to say is that your destiny is too harsh and it hurts those close to you. Therefore, before the age of 16, it's not suitable for you to live together with your parents."

  Zai Ye helped Qin Feng up from the ground and said: "However, the Great Way is fifty, Tian Yan is forty-nine. The numbers of the world are all within the Great Way, so the Great Way has one surplus. Your parents and sister are still in this world, you don't have to worry!"

  "Master, calculate it for me again, where did Qin Jie go? Is she in danger?"

  After hearing the old man's words, Qin Feng "plop" and knelt down again. Just now, under the impact of his parents being alive, Qin Feng actually forgot about his most beloved little sister.

  "Is Master really that amazing?"

  Zai heard the words and laughed bitterly, forcibly pulling Qin Feng up from the ground. He said: "Kneeling to heaven, kneeling to earth, kneeling to parents, Shifu can withstand your kneeling, but a man's knees have gold, so don't let your knees be so soft in the future!"

  "Yes, Master!" Qin Feng's tears couldn't help but well up, although his master's words were a reprimand, Qin Feng could hear the deep concern and affection in them.

  "Qin Feng, the divination method your master has come into contact with is only superficial. I can see that your parents and sister are all alive, but I am unable to calculate where they are."

  After seeing Qin Feng, his emotions calmed down a bit. Zai Ye spoke up and said: "When you were in prison for only a few days, I went to Cangzhou once and followed that train, but your sister's trail suddenly disappeared in Quancheng, and even Master couldn't find out!"

  Taking a disciple was an important matter for Zai Ye, who didn't have much time left to live. So after seeing Qin Feng's hidden talent, Zai Ye went to Cangzhou and inquired about the whole story behind this.

  "What? Master, you've gone to look for Little Sister?" Qin Feng raised his head, he didn't know anything about this matter.

  "Well, I've read your file and know you have concerns. Originally, I wanted to bring that girl back for you, but she had other plans. Master did his best."

  Zai Yi helplessly shook his head. Logically speaking, with his abilities, after understanding the ins and outs of the matter, finding Qin Jia shouldn't be a very difficult task. Zai Yi had thought so himself before.

  But the development of things was beyond Zai's expectation. When he chased to Quancheng, the little girl seemed to have vanished into thin air. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't get any clues and could only return with a sullen face.

  "Thank you, Master!"

  After listening to Zai's speech, Qin Feng did not kneel down this time, but instead bowed sincerely to the old man from the bottom of his heart. To say that he was forced to accept a disciple earlier and still had complaints in his heart, at this moment Qin Feng truly regarded the old man as his master.

  "It's better if you don't live with them now, wait until you're sixteen and then go find them!"

  Feeling the sincerity of his disciple, Zai Ye burst out laughing, feeling extremely pleased and relieved. Although Qin Feng was mature beyond his years and had a somewhat deep and complex personality, he was a filial person, and Zai Ye believed that this lifetime, he wouldn't misjudge him for a second time.

  "Master, if I have the chance, I'd like to personally go look for my sister..."

  In Qin Feng's opinion, Shifu had no understanding of his sister and didn't know what she looked like. Just because Shifu couldn't find her didn't mean he himself wouldn't have a chance.

  Zai Ye nodded and said: "Alright, within a year, as long as you can walk out of the gate by yourself, Master will give you a month's vacation!"

  "Walk out from the main gate? By myself?"

  Qin Feng's face turned sour as soon as he heard the words. Not to mention him, even if a prisoner with a short sentence was released from the detention center, they would have to be escorted by guards and carry a release permit. If he were to go out on his own, he'd probably be pinned to the ground by the armed police at the warning line.

  "What's wrong, young one? Don't you trust yourself or don't you trust your master?"

  Seeing Qin Feng's bitter melon face, Zai Ye couldn't help but laugh and said: "When we travel the world, there are many times when it's inconvenient to show our faces. This disguise technique may not be as mysterious as what's shown on TV, but as long as you grasp people's psychology and make some changes, escaping from this prison is a piece of cake!"

  "Art of disguise?" Qin Feng's eyes lit up, "Master, teach me quickly!"

  "Kid, you haven't even learned to walk yet and you want to run?"

  He curled his lip and said, "First practice the skill of pinching soap, you've practiced martial arts, but your finger dexterity is still far from enough. Wait until you can pinch out the soap from water in one second, then we'll talk about the art of disguise!"

  "Alright, I'll practice, Master! I'm going now!"

  Qin Feng was repulsed by those thieving skills, but since it concerned his ability to leave this place, he couldn't care about that anymore.

  Moreover, at this time Qin Feng also somewhat agreed with his master's words. Being able to... doesn't necessarily mean one has to do it. Mastering the skills of a thief isn't something that is difficult to bring up.

  "That's great, go practice well!" Seeing Qin Feng finally understand, Zai Ye was also extremely happy. Originally thought he would take this skill to his grave, didn't expect to accept a closed-door disciple at the end of his life.

  "Right, Master, I'm quite resilient... will I also be able to defeat you?"

  Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Qin Feng suddenly thought of something, his face turned gloomy, although the old man usually didn't have a good expression towards him, but through today's conversations, he fully felt his master's concern for him.

  "Me? I'm not afraid!"

  For so many years, apart from Hu Bao Guo, Zai Zai had never been cared about by anyone else. Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, he couldn't help but feel a great sense of relief and smiled: "As the saying goes, eighty-three ninety-four, even without you, Master would have gone to see his ancestors in two years' time, what is there to be afraid of?"

  "What? Master, you..." Qin Feng was stunned on the spot.

  "What's there to think about? Master has lived for so long, it's already enough!"

  He lived for over 90 years, from the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty to Japan's invasion of China, and witnessed almost all the major events of this century. His broad-mindedness far exceeded Qin Feng's imagination.

  "Master, don't worry, I will definitely inherit your legacy and carry it on!"

  Qin Feng clenched his fists tightly, and the calm and serene aura emanating from the old man was like a dustpan that swept away all the distractions in Qin Feng's mind.

  "I hope so!"

  Looking at Qin Feng's back, Zai Ye touched the jade pendant hanging from his neck, his face somewhat complicated.

  Zai Ye also hopes to pass on the token of the sect to his disciples, but all this depends on Qin Feng's achievements. If he fails to meet the requirements of the sect, then the token can only be buried underground with him.
