Chapter Twelve I Want to Be a Heavenly Soldier

  "How dare he, this damned bandit, to covet the Lin family and bully Yuqing!" In the Lin family's council hall, an old man wearing a gray long gown slapped his palm on the table and stood up in anger.

  "It's fortunate that Miss is unharmed, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable." Another man dressed in a tight-fitting warrior uniform and resembling a guard sighed.

  According to Qing'er, it was you who saved her." A middle-aged man sitting in the center of the conference hall looked at Qin Chuan and said softly.

  "It was just a coincidence that I passed by, and seeing Miss Lin in crisis, I simply lent a helping hand." Qin Lang replied.

  "Hmph, you're saying it was just you who took down dozens of bandits and rescued the young lady? You're that capable?" The man with a guard-like appearance hummed.

  "I didn't kill dozens of bandits, to be precise, I only killed the leader of the bandits, and it was he who couldn't bear the pain and died. As for the other bandits, after they cut off one arm, I let them go." Qin Lang said calmly.

  "Hum, those bandits killed a whole line of my Lin family, with such deep guilt, and you let them go? Are you in cahoots with them?" The guard-like man glared at Qin Cang, shouting loudly.

  "If I were with them, would your Miss Lin still be here right now?" Qin Lang's tone remained calm, and he showed no signs of anger in the face of the guard-like man's shouting.

  "Besides, it was Miss Lin who came to me for help." Qin Guang glanced at the woman standing next to the middle-aged man in the conference hall, who was none other than Lin Yuqing.

  "Yes, Father. At that time, I asked Qin Ge for help, and at first he refused me, but later he agreed." Lin Yuqing anxiously pulled the middle-aged man beside her, who was the head of the Lin family, Lin Yun Tian.

  "Little brother, you said that Qing'er once promised you that as long as you saved her, the Lin family would grant you a request?" Lin Yun Tian looked at Qin Cang and softly spoke.

  "Yes."

  "Hmph, I see you only saved the young lady because of this promise, right?" The guard-like man seemed to be very dissatisfied with Qin Cang, repeatedly targeting him.

  "King Tong, I am Qin Lang, the lifesaver of your young mistress from the Lin family. As the leader of the Lin family guards, you failed to protect her properly. Don't you think you should take some responsibility?" Qin Lang retorted sharply.

  Long before entering the Lin family, Lin Yuqing had already introduced the general situation of the Lin family. The gray-haired old man who first slapped the table was Lin Tong, the foreign affairs manager of the Lin family and the uncle of Lin Yun Tian. The long-bearded old man standing on the other side of Lin Yun Tian, who had not yet spoken, was Lin Cheng, the internal affairs manager of the Lin family and also Lin Yun Tian's elder. These two men, one in charge of internal affairs and the other external, assisted Lin Yun Tian in managing the entire Lin family's affairs and were highly respected by the people of the Lin family. In the Lin family, their status was second only to Lin Yun Tian.

  The man who looked like a guard was Wang Jia Wei, the head of the Lin family's guards, responsible for teaching and training all the guards in martial arts. So Qin Cang's words had directly hit Wang Jia Wei's sore spot, his own guards had been killed by a group of bandits, and his face had also been completely lost. Fortunately, Lin Yu Qing had not suffered any harm, otherwise he would have admitted that he was also to blame.

  "You!" Wong Kar-wai was also tongue-tied by Qin Guang's words and couldn't find the right words to respond for a moment.

  "Alright, in any case, Qin Cang saved Qing'er's life. Even if it was just to fulfill a promise made by Qing'er, he is still a benefactor of the Lin family." Lin Yun Tian also interrupted the argument among the crowd and said to Qin Cang: "So, young brother Qin Cang, what do you want? Whether it's money or a position in office, as long as it's within our Lin family's capabilities, we will definitely try our best to fulfill your request."

  When Lin Yun Tian spoke, Qin Huan's eyes lit up, while Lin Yu Qing's face was filled with tension, her eyes fixed on Qin Huan, recalling the words he had spoken earlier.

  "What if I asked your father to marry you off to me? Would he agree?"

  As soon as she thought of this, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but breathe rapidly, and her mind was filled with memories of Qin Lang's solo battle against dozens of bandits in the Hundred Mile Mountain, where he fought so fiercely that no one dared to resist, and each of them cut off their own arm in surrender.

  "Would he really make such a request? And if he did, would Father agree to it? Oh dear heavens, what would I do if Father agreed? Am I really supposed to marry him?"

  Lin Yuqing's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, and her heart was beating faster.

  "Now that the master of the Lin family has spoken, I won't be polite either." Qin Liang's heart was also filled with excitement, his long-held wish, until today, finally had a glimmer of hope to come true.

  "Master Lin, my request is very simple..." Qin Lang paused for a moment and deliberately looked at Lin Yutian's side, Lin Yuqing. This glance made Lin Yuqing's pores tighten all over her body.

  "I want to become a heavenly soldier, and I hope that the master of the Lin family can be my guarantor." Qin Lang said his request in one breath.

  "What?" "Ah?" Everyone was stunned when Qin Huang actually made such a request.

  It's not everyone who gets a promise from the Lin family, but everyone knows what a promise from the Lin family means. If it were someone else, they would either ask for a large sum of money or a high-ranking official position. But Qin Liang actually asked the Lin family to recommend him as a Heavenly Soldier.

  It's like looking at a table full of delicacies, but holding a bowl of porridge and squatting by the roadside to eat pickles.

  Lin Yuqing's eyes widened as she stared at Qin Huan, she couldn't believe that Qin Huan would make such a request, and she was even thinking in her heart about how to face it if Qin Huan really made that request.

  "Huh, did I hear that wrong? Are you sure about this request?" Lin Yun Tian stared blankly at Qin Liang, his usual composure and demeanor, honed from years of being in a high position, also frozen in shock.

  "Yes, you didn't hear wrong." Qin Lang said with a sharp tone.

  "Alright. The next round of the Tianjun election is in a month, and I'll be your recommender at that time." Lin Yun Tian mechanically said these words, he really couldn't understand why Qin Liang, who had saved his daughter, would make such a request.

  They didn't know that this requirement might not be so difficult for others, but for the Lin family, it was just a matter of moving their lips.

  It's also good this way, it counts as repaying Qin Lang a favor, and the Lin family is also considered to be true to their word.

  "Someone come, arrange a room for Qin Gongzi, take Qin Gongzi to rest, tonight, we will hold a dinner to welcome Qin Gongzi and also to thank Qin Gongzi for saving Qing'er's life."

  "Then I'll trouble the Lin family master." Qin Guang was very good at observing words and expressions, and when he heard Lin Yun Tian's words, he understood the meaning behind them. He immediately thanked Lin Yun Tian and left the council hall.

  After Qin Huan left, the conference hall was quiet again.

  "Unexpectedly, Qin Lang actually made such a request." Lin Tong was still dazed until now.

  "Hmph, just look at this guy, he's obviously a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, and yet he's so unambitious." Wang Jiawei said with a cold snort.

  "No matter what, our Lin family has promised others. Uncle Tong, after a month's time, during the Imperial Army recruitment, you can give Qin Lang a recommendation."

  "Hehe, no problem, just a word." Lin Tong smiled lightly.

  "Hmm, then let's discuss the upcoming county competition in half a month." Lin Yun Tian's expression also turned serious as he slowly spoke these words.

  And these words also made the atmosphere in the conference hall more solemn.
