After chatting with Qin Chu for a while and understanding his situation, Qing Yi left. His meridians had just been reconnected, and he still needed to recuperate. Twenty years of imprisonment had severely damaged his body.
After Cultivating his Sword Art for a period, Qin Chu arrived at the courtyard where Qin Longhan resided.
"Qin Chu is here, and he's done well this time!" Looking at his grandson, the sole heir of the Vermilion Bird Family, Qin Longhan's eyes were full of praise.
Upon his return, Qin Lingxi had told Qin Longhan about the rescue of Qing Yi and Qin Chu's determination.
Qin Longhan was very supportive of Qin Chu's idea; he believed that if one needed to be tempered, they should be tempered. Constantly protecting them, when would it end? When it was time to step forward, they had to step forward.
After accompanying Qin Longhan for two cups of tea, Qin Chu took out three Spirit Concept Grasses and handed them to Qin Longhan, saying, "Two are for the Family from your grandson, and one is for my Uncle Qing Yi, to exchange for Materials to forge a weapon. I wonder if our Family has suitable Materials."
"Three Spirit Concept Grasses right off the bat, that's a grand gesture! The value of three Spirit Concept Grasses is immeasurable, but Grandfather will accept them, because the Vermilion Bird Family is your Vermilion Bird Family. As for Qing Yi's weapon, Grandfather will arrange for someone to forge it. How can he not have a handy weapon!" Qin Longhan said with a smile.
After chatting with Qin Longhan for a while, Qin Chu left.
Watching Qin Chu's retreating back, Qin Longhan was extremely satisfied. If the Junior is strong, then the Vermilion Bird will be strong!
After rescuing Qing Yi, Qin Chu's next thought was to rescue his mother, Zhen Xueyan. As for his father, Qin Zhanye, there was no news yet, and he could do nothing but wait for information.
Qin Chu, who was engrossed in arduous Cultivation, was formidable. He did not go out to see people, always secluding himself in his private courtyard.
When the Battle Intent on Qin Chu's body reached the fourth level, the people of Vermilion Bird Manor were shocked, because very few people could comprehend special Concepts. Battle Intent is a Concept that all Cultivators can comprehend, and it is also the most difficult to comprehend, because Battle Intent can assist other Concepts, and can enhance Sword Intent, Saber Intent, Spear Intent, and Fist Intent, and so on.
With his level four Battle Intent erupting, Qin Chu unleashed the Vermilion Bird Heaven-Seizing Claws, each claw tearing through the air, incredibly sharp!
Qian Lingwu was the first to arrive outside Qin Chu's private courtyard, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. Was this a Heaven-Defying talent? To be able to comprehend Battle Intent in addition to Sword Intent!
Qing Yi arrived shortly after, and finally, Qin Longhan and Qin Lingxi arrived. A group of people watched Qin Chu Cultivate from outside the private courtyard.
When he shattered a rock with a single claw, the Battle Intent on Qin Chu's body finally receded. He then looked towards the gate of the private courtyard and said, "I've disturbed everyone. Please come in!"
Qin Chu invited everyone in, and the maid serving Qin Chu immediately brewed tea!
"Level four Battle Intent?" Qin Longhan asked, looking at Qin Chu.
"Replying to Grandfather, I just Breakthrough to level four, and my foundation is still very weak," Qin Chu said.
"Father, Qin Chu comprehended Battle Intent on his way to the Azure Dragon Family to rescue Qing Yi, so it's been a very short time!" Qin Lingxi explained the situation to Qin Longhan.
"Very good! The path of Cultivation requires the accumulation of time, Qin Chu, don't overwork yourself," Qin Longhan said to Qin Chu, feeling a little heartbroken for his grandson, who had done nothing but Cultivate these past days.
"Grandfather, rest assured, your grandson understands!" Qin Chu said. He yearned for strength. Although Mammy Yu's words were a bit harsh, they were the truth. If his strength could utterly crush the Azure Dragon Family, and he stood before Azure Dragon Sacred Mountain and shouted, the Azure Dragon Family would have to hand over the person.
Qin Longhan shook his head. He knew Qin Chu agreed readily, but how he would act next was hard to say. Zhen Xueyan being imprisoned in the Land of Ice and Fire was a huge blow to Qin Chu. The Azure Dragon Family's actions were too excessive. As the saying goes, even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, yet Zhen Beixuan imprisoned Zhen Xueyan in the Land of Ice and Fire within the Boundless Land, which was simply inhumane.
After staying in Qin Chu's courtyard for a while, the group left.
Not long after leaving, Qian Lingwu came back. She brought some gauze because Qin Chu had some scratches on his hands from shattering the rock.
"Thank you, Sister Lingwu!" Qin Chu expressed his gratitude, watching Qian Lingwu bandage his hand.
"There's no need for pleasantries. Take better care of yourself. Later, I plan to travel around the world and see different places. If there's a war involving the Vermilion Bird Family, I will return," Qian Lingwu said. She felt a bit uncomfortable staying. It was inappropriate for an outsider woman like her to stay at Vermilion Bird Manor indefinitely. It wasn't proper, and if she stayed without leaving, what would others think? Currently, Qin Chu was still a Junior in the Vermilion Bird Family.
"Why?" Qin Chu stood up, a little unwilling. At first, Qian Lingwu had been on the opposing side, but later, all conflicts were resolved, and they got along very well. He was reluctant to see Qian Lingwu leave.
"Going out to travel and see, to improve myself. If you don't seek change, there will be no change; if you don't seek improvement, there will be no improvement," Qian Lingwu said to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu's eyes dimmed slightly. "Sister Lingwu, as the Eldest Princess of the Qian Dynasty, you travel the world, naturally pursuing an increase in strength. I can understand that."
"Hehe! Yes, and no. Perhaps you will understand in the future," Qian Lingwu said.
"Sister Lingwu, remember, no matter where you are, no matter what trouble you encounter, as long as you send me a message, I will definitely come!" Qin Chu promised, looking at Qian Lingwu.
After accompanying Qin Chu for another day, Qian Lingwu left. Qin Chu had prepared some Medicinal Pills for her and saw her off at the gate of Vermilion Bird Manor. Qin Lingxi also saw her off.
"Lingwu, why don't you stay?" Qin Lingxi tried to persuade her to stay. She had a guess in her heart but couldn't articulate it.
"I will come back, Princess Lingxi, please rest assured that I will not reveal any secrets about the Vermilion Bird Family." Qian Lingwu reiterated her promise to Qin Lingxi, then gave Qin Chu a sweet smile and left Vermilion Bird Manor.
"Qin Chu, why didn't you try to keep her? If you had asked her to stay, she might have. If you married her, Auntie would absolutely support it," Qin Lingxi said.
Qin Chu shook his head. "She is the Eldest Princess of the Qian Dynasty, and she has been alone for so many years. Why is that? Because she pursues the Dao of a strong person. I cannot hinder her. Furthermore, before I kill Shang Tang and resolve the engagement with the Azure Dragon Family, I will absolutely not discuss marriage."
"You, this fellow, understand nothing. Being alone for so many years was because she hadn't met the right person. Alas, we'll see!" Qin Lingxi was also helpless, but she felt that Qian Lingwu's departure was not an end, but perhaps a beginning.
Qin Chu and Qin Lingxi walked towards the manor. Halfway there, Qin Lingxi stopped. "Qin Chu, you just said you wanted to kill Shang Tang, but is that Crown Prince Hu Shang Tang?"
"Yes, it's him!" Qin Chu nodded.
"The son of Shang Tianhua of the White Tiger Family. Shang Tianhua is an enemy of our Qin Family," Qin Lingxi's eyes flashed with killing intent.
