Qin Shiqing sat calmly in front of the table, closed his eyes to rest, and nodded towards the trusted person sent by Wan Ronghua. Although this trusted person had many words in his heart that he wanted to say, he didn’t say much since Qin Shiqing was an important person invited by the master of the house, and quickly took his leave. "No wonder Lord Qin is esteemed, calm in the face of change, and has the demeanor of a great general. It’s no surprise he is favored by the elders of the Great Dao Sect and considered one of the potential candidates to become ‘King Qin’." The butler had this thought in his mind and nodded secretly. This butler was clearly not an ordinary person either. His exaggerated muscles lifted his robe high, making him look more like a bodyguard than a butler. In reality, he was indeed not an ordinary person. Even now, after joining the Martial Arts League and breaking through, he was even stronger than the Qin Shiqing he currently served. Nevertheless, he was still just a butler. In the eyes of the Immortal Gate cultivators, the strength of a martial artist was not the most important, because strengths and weaknesses were always incomparable to those of the great cultivators. Martial artists are naturally respected as the strong. On the surface, Luohan is a steward, but his strength is already stronger than Qin Shiqing. Therefore, Qin Shiqing cannot treat him as a lowly servant. "Hmm… Should I go too?" Luohan was surprised. Qin Shiqing used to be so calm. Could it be that he considered himself a hidden card after making a breakthrough? No wonder he is so confident. It turns out he relies on him, Luohan! "Of course," Qin Shiqing smiled and said seriously. "A gentleman doesn’t stand under a dangerous wall. I promised Wan Ronghua to eliminate the trouble caused by Qiao’s family, not just for his wealth… Since we are dealing with Qiao’s family, we must do our best and eliminate any risks." "…That’s true." Luohan’s face slightly showed a strange expression as he began to feel puzzled in his mind: "Actually, it makes sense. Maybe Qin Shiqing caught the attention of the Great Dao Sect because his mindset is different from ordinary people?" "I heard that his determination to pursue the Dao is extremely strong. He was even willing to sacrifice his spouse and children in his early years for the sake of enlightenment. It seems remarkable now." Luohan had doubts in his heart, and he left with Qin Shiqing, vanishing into the darkness of the night. Outside Wan Ronghua’s mansion. Qiao Mu stood on the roof of a small building, looking down at the busy scene of the security guards patrolling inside the mansion. "The security is quite tight. Did someone leak the information?" Qiao Mu had no idea that it was because of Fang Fang’s scheme against Fang Yuan that startled Wan Ronghua, causing him to be suspicious and order tight security. Qiao Mu’s ears twitched. He swiftly jumped and landed lightly on the eaves, taking out a small stone from his hand. Inside the guest room. Wan Ronghua was sitting comfortably on the master’s chair, looking slightly anxious. He was speaking to his concubine, Fang Fang, who was beside him. Qiao Mu hadn’t received proper training in hidden weapon techniques, but his martial arts skills were so advanced that with the infusion of internal strength, even a flick of a leaf could be dangerous, let alone a stone. Holding his breath, Qiao Mu made a slight movement and the stone in his hand was instantly thrown out. The stone blurred in the air, emitting a sharp sound as it pierced through the air, directly aiming at Wan Ronghua. It happened in a split second. However, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and caught the stone in its palm. In front of Wan Ronghua in the room, a figure suddenly appeared standing. Qiao Mu felt familiar with this figure, as they had crossed paths before. It was Qin Shiqing, the executioner at the market execution ground that day. Being a highly skilled 1st rank spiritual refining expert with keen intuition, sneak attacks and ambushes were almost ineffective against Qin Shiqing. Naturally, he had sensed Qiao Mu’s attempted attack in advance and quietly made his move. As Wan Ronghua trembled in shock and fear, the guards in the mansion also reacted. "There’s an assassin!" An old man in black clothes quickly appeared and pulled Wan Ronghua back. The rest of the guards patrolling the mansion rushed over and quickly surrounded Qiao Mu, who was on the roof of the house. Qin Shiqing tiptoed and leaped onto the roof, looking at the old man in front of him with a bit of surprise. "It seems like it really is Qiao’s family?" "Perfect, tonight we’ll put an end to the trouble." "Did Qin Shiqing and Wan Ronghua team up? Well, it seems like it’s just right for me too, to solve both sides at once." Qiao Mu didn’t have a strong impression of Qin Shiqing, because Qin Shiqing only kicked him and broke his knees, but it wasn’t a deadly injury. But now Qin Shiqing made it clear that he wanted to help Wan Ronghua and looked like he wanted to kill Qiao Mu, so Qiao Mu naturally wouldn’t be kind-hearted.
