Chapter 117: Good, you old thing, you really were lying to me

The next day, Wang Residence.

Qin Jiang looked at the magnificent and ancient Wang Mansion in front of him and walked up.

"Idlers, stop!" the guard captain in front of the Wang Mansion raised his hand to stop him, his eyes carrying a bit of irritation. He encountered too many such people every day.

But the Second Master of the Wang family was the current Prefect of Ning'an, so he couldn't just drive him away like other families. If it got out, it would have a bad influence on the Second Master.

"I am Qin Jiang of Green Fire, here to visit the Family Head of the Wang family. Please report it," Qin Jiang said.

"You are the Fourth Master of the Long family!" The guard captain's heart jolted. "Please wait a moment, Lord Green Fire, I will go report it right away."

With that, he walked quickly into the mansion.

Before long, after a series of hurried footsteps, a figure walked quickly out of the Wang Mansion. It was none other than Wang Ziming, the Fourth Elder of the Copper Bell Sect, who had appeared at the apprenticeship banquet that day.

"Lord Green Fire, what are you doing here?" he asked, his voice not particularly friendly.

He still remembered the day Long Daosheng suppressed the few of them! Although he wouldn't make things difficult for a junior because of this, he would certainly not welcome him with a smiling face.

"Fourth Elder, today I am here to visit the Family Head of the Wang family in the capacity of a member of the Qin family," Qin Jiang said.

"Member of the Qin family? You! You say you are a member of the Qin family!" Wang Ziming exclaimed, unable to help but look Qin Jiang up and down carefully.

*He doesn't look like it! And, I never heard that the Qin family had any survivors left that day. *

*No, that's not right. * He suddenly remembered that some time ago, his older brother seemed to have arranged for people to go to a small city to look for someone surnamed Qin.

*Could it be... that it is Qin Jiang?! Is he an illegitimate son of the former Qin Family Head?! *

Thinking of this, he didn't care about Long Daosheng having caused him to lose face. He couldn't let this delay his brother's affairs, so he spoke directly: "Follow me, I will take you to see my older brother."

Qin Jiang's brows lifted slightly, puzzled by his suddenly changed attitude.

However, he didn't ask any more questions and entered the Wang Mansion directly.

Before long, the two arrived at a small courtyard. An old man wearing black cloth clothes, with graying hair, was lying on a reclining chair basking in the sun, the fan in his hand waving gently.

This person was none other than the current Family Head of the Wang family, Wang Zizai, known as Wang Laoguai.

"Older Brother! Older Brother!" Wang Ziming shouted loudly and walked quickly to the old man's side to whisper.

Wang Zizai's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this, and he looked at Qin Jiang. "You are a member of the Qin family?"

Qin Jiang cupped his hands slightly. "Indeed."

Looking at Wang Zizai, his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

*Is this Wang Zizai, known as the number one expert in Ning'an? The power contained within is truly extraordinary! *

It was just that he always felt something was not quite right, a feeling as if some monster was hidden within this person's body.

"I didn't expect it, truly didn't expect it, that the Qin family still had survivors! Who was your father?" Wang Zizai asked.

Qin Jiang's brows lifted. "I am not yet clear."

"Not clear? You say you are a member of the Qin family without being clear!" Wang Ziming asked somewhat urgently.

*Blame me for thinking too much. If I had known it was like this, I would have just turned Qin Jiang away! * Wang Zizai did not have any emotional fluctuations, only nodding slightly. "It is normal not to be clear. The night your Qin family was wiped out was truly suspicious. I investigated for a long time with several other family heads but found no clues.

I imagine your father also excised that memory to ensure your safety."

Qin Jiang frowned slightly. *So the memory was indeed excised? *

"Does Senior Wang have a way to restore that memory?"

Wang Zizai shook his head. "That is irreversible. Just like a fallen leaf, once it has fallen, it cannot grow back."

Qin Jiang nodded, feeling slightly disappointed, but didn't pay much mind to it.

"Senior Wang, I have come here to ask about a matter." "Speak directly," Wang Zizai said.

"I still have an older sister alive, but she was abducted by people from the Golden Jade Pavilion when I was in Black Mountain City. It just so happened that yesterday, I captured Yu Jiu of the Golden Jade Pavilion.

I learned that he encountered you, Senior, while escorting my older sister, and thus failed to send that group away, so I have come to inquire about my older sister's whereabouts," Qin Jiang said.

"What did you say! You captured Yu Jiu of the Golden Jade Pavilion! That is an advanced secret martial artist! You could capture him?" Wang Ziming asked in surprise.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly. "By luck."

"By luck? That is indeed luck," Wang Ziming said.

*I guess it was Long Daosheng who made a move, wanting to build a reputation for this kid so he could prepare for taking the spot for the Golden Light Subduing Demon Fist. *

*I fear that in a few days, the news of the Fourth Master of the Long family capturing Yu Jiu of the Golden Jade Pavilion will spread. *

"That day, after I dealt with the people from the Golden Jade Pavilion, I didn't pay attention to the group of people who had been captured and just let them leave.

So, I do not know your older sister's whereabouts. However, I imagine she is still within a hundred miles of this Ning'an City. If not, shall I arrange for people to help you search for her?" Wang Zizai said.

Qin Jiang frowned upon hearing this. "Since you had already saved them, why not bring them back together? Sending them to the government office would have made it convenient for them to return."

"Kid! Don't push your luck! My older brother being able to say so much to you is already giving face to the Qin family!" Wang Ziming said.

*How many years has it been? No one has ever dared to question my older brother. A secret martial artist of at most the sixth rank, what qualifications does he have? * "To tell you the truth, I actually suffered some injuries that day, so I didn't bring them all back. I did not expect it would cause trouble," Wang Zizai said.

"Not at all, it was this junior who was abrupt. Since that is the case, this junior will take his leave." After saying this, Qin Jiang turned and left directly.

After he left, Wang Ziming's expression was indignant. "Older Brother, he is just a junior, what qualifications does he have to let you treat him like this?"

Wang Zizai shook his head. "Your temperament still needs tempering. Moreover, you cannot sense it, but I can feel that this child's physical body is extremely tyrannical. Even if it were just based on this physical body, you might not be his opponent.

Do not underestimate these younger generations. Being arrogant and conceited will sooner or later make you suffer a big loss."

Wang Ziming's face turned black upon hearing this. "I understand."

Outside the Wang Mansion, after Qin Jiang walked out, he walked quickly into a small alley and gripped his palm in the air; this was the air from the courtyard he had just intercepted.

A wisp of demon fire emerged, burning the air in his palm. Before long, a faint white aura emerged.

Feeling the aura that overlapped with his memory, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

*'Good, you old thing, you really were lying to me.'*

*Bang! * He gripped his five fingers tightly, glanced at the Wang Mansion, and left silently.

That night, Cloud Crane Courtyard.

Qin Jiang sat in the pavilion, and Xu Yanran poured him a bowl of wine.

The wine was amber-colored; this was the Tiger Fierce Wine secretly hidden by her father. Besides the main ingredients being various tiger penises, it was also brewed with many rare treasures.

"Brother Qin seems to have quite an elegant interest tonight. Is there some happy event?" Xu Yanran asked.

Qin Jiang smiled upon hearing this, picked up the wine bowl, and downed it in one gulp. The intense wine liquid instantly slid down his throat like a line of fire burning.

Putting down the wine bowl, he gently wrapped his arm around Xu Yanran's waist. "I am bringing my older sister back today. After the proposal, shall we hold the wedding directly?"

Xu Yanran's cheeks were burning hot. "What are you saying, so suddenly... Hm? Bring my older sister back? You found her?"

Qin Jiang nodded with a smile. "Found her."

Saying this, he stood up, picked Xu Yanran up onto the stone table, and said, "Wait for me to return."
