Qin Feng's cold voice echoed in the living room, and a shuddering feeling arose in Li Ye's heart. Although Qin Feng mentioned two possibilities, Li Ye knew that the second possibility was more likely.
Thirteen years ago, the Lin family was just a small and inconspicuous family in Wangcheng. However, after Qin Xiaochi and his wife disappeared, they suddenly started to become prosperous. They even married the daughter of the dean of Qianwu Academy, the fourth hospital in Wangcheng.
The Fourth Courtyard of the Royal City is a behemoth that surpasses the eight major families, and its power is even more powerful than the royal family. Lin Xiaotian is so virtuous and capable that he can get in touch with the people of the Fourth Courtyard of the Royal City and marry the son-in-law of the old dean of the Qianwu Academy. ?
Is this just a coincidence?
Or is there a secret involving countless forces in the royal city hidden behind the disappearance of Qin Xiaochi and his wife?
The more Li Ye thought about it, the more shocked he became. He vaguely felt that this matter had touched the core power of the Daqian Kingdom. If the Qin family pursued this matter, they would be wiped out if they were not careful.
"Young Master, you still need to handle this matter carefully. Not to mention anything else, Lin Xiaotian's Yin-Yang realm cultivation is not something that our Qin family can provoke now." Li Ye said with great solemnity.
"I have my own sense of proportion." Qin Feng said in a deep voice. Qin Feng naturally thought of the questions that Li Ye could think of.
And Qin Feng already has a preliminary plan in mind. There is less than half a month left before the college's major exam. Although Lingyun College where Qin Feng is located is only a small local college, the outstanding students among it have Qualifications for entering the Fourth Courtyard of the Royal City.
The four academies in the royal city are Qianwu Academy, Lingxiao Academy, Divine Wind Academy, and Star Reaching Academy. As long as Qin Feng can enter any of the four academies and become an elite student, he will have the capital to establish himself in the royal city. It will be much easier to investigate the Lin family when the time comes.
"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you." Li Ye seemed to suddenly think of something.
"What's the matter?" Qin Feng asked.
"Two days ago, a young man named Liu Qingxuan came to you, claiming to be a student of Lingyun College and a good friend of you. But you went to Zhulin Jingshe at that time and had not yet come out. So he left a letter for you. "Li Ye said as he took out an envelope from his arms.
"Liu Qingxuan's letter?" Qin Feng took the letter.
Since Qin Feng's cultivation began to decline a year ago, most people in Lingyun College have avoided him. Qin Feng only has two friends, one of whom is Lin Xue and the other is Liu Qingxuan.
Qin Feng opened the letter, and there were only a few words on it.
"Please come to Qunying Inn as soon as possible. It's urgent."
Qin Feng was shocked, and his first reaction was to think that Liu Qingxuan had encountered some trouble. But after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.
Qin Feng, Lin Xue and Liu Qingxuan are all close friends. They can become friends entirely because of the mutual appreciation between the three of them. Lin Xue is pure and kind, like a green lotus emerging from the mud but unstained. Liu Qingxuan is bohemian, But he values love and justice.
But these have nothing to do with secular power. Even the three of them rarely mentioned their own life experiences, or their respective family affairs and difficulties.
But even so, Qin Feng also knew some things vaguely. For example, he knew that Lin Xue lived in Puying City, but his life was not rich. This could be seen from Lin Xue's past clothes and behavior.
Liu Qingxuan's situation is rather special. He is not from Puying City, but from the neighboring city of Hudong City, and his family seems to have considerable power.
"It stands to reason that even if Liu Qingxuan encounters any trouble, the trouble should be in Hudong City. Why would Liu Qingxuan run to Puying City?" Qin Feng was a little confused.
"I'm going to Qunying Inn." Qin Feng said to Li Ye and left the Qin family. Although this matter was a bit strange, he trusted Liu Qingxuan very much, so he decided to go to Qunying Inn as soon as possible.
In Puying City, there is a constant flow of traffic and passers-by. On both sides of the road, there are some vendors selling daily necessities. The shouts of the vendors and the bargaining sounds of pedestrians and vendors can be heard constantly.
However, at this moment, a beautiful woman in red, driving a tall maroon horse, drove quickly.
"Get out of my way," the woman shouted. Even in this crowded business district, she had no intention of slowing down.
The crowd screamed and hurriedly dodged. Some even panicked and couldn't evade, and accidentally knocked over many stalls. The whole downtown was suddenly in chaos.
"Ah, my eggs are all gone now! Who is that woman? How can she be so bold?" An egg vendor looked at the figure of the woman in red walking away, his eyes full of resentment.
"Shhh... Riding is prohibited in the commercial area. That woman who dares to ride a horse into the commercial area must have a high profile. People like us are not someone who can offend her. Let's see, I'll knock your eggs over.
Yes, you can sell it to me at half price, and you and I will share this unfortunate incident equally..." The passers-by and the vendors quickly reached an agreement, and the farce turned out to be a major incident.
Qin Feng also glanced in the direction where the woman in red left, and said to himself: "When did Puying City have such a savage woman?" But he did not pay attention to this trivial matter and continued to walk towards Qunying Inn.
.
Qunying Inn, this bustling business district has been standing for a hundred years and is one of the largest inns in Puying City. Soon, Qin Feng arrived in front of Qunying Inn.
"Today, the entire inn has been booked by my young master. No guests will be entertained." A guard in green clothes said to Qin Feng impatiently. Obviously, before Qin Feng, he had expelled many guests.
"The one I want to see is your young master." Qin Feng said calmly.
The guard in green clothes was obviously stunned. He looked Qin Feng up and down. He saw that Qin Feng's clothes and appearance were very ordinary, and he felt a hint of disdain in his heart.
If it were in Hudong City, the Tsing Yi guards would definitely yell at Qin Feng and tell Qin Feng to get lost. But this is Puying City after all, not Hudong City where the Liu family is located, and the Tsing Yi guards would not dare to be too arrogant.
"My young master has given an order. Except for Qin Feng, the young master of the Qin family, no one else is to be seen in Puying City." The green-clothed guard said coldly.
"I am Qin Feng." Qin Feng said calmly.
But after hearing this, the guard in green clothes not only did not give way, but laughed exaggeratedly. "Haha, what did you say? Are you Qin Feng?"
"Don't be ridiculous, the young master of the Qin family. He is a man of great influence recently. He single-handedly defeated Qin Wenshan at the seventh level of the Xuanling realm. He has unparalleled talent and profound cultivation. He is also my young master's confidant. Are you like this?
Is it possible for an ignorant boy from the countryside to pretend to be the young master of the Qin family?" the green-clothed guard laughed.
In the view of the guards in green clothes, how could the young master of the Qin family, who is in charge of the entire Qin family, be dressed so shabbily? Moreover, the young man in front of him does not have any aura of a warrior, just like an ordinary person who has never practiced. How could he be the legendary cultivator?
The profound young master of the Qin family?
He didn't believe a word of what Qin Feng said.
At this moment, an old man in gray clothes walked out of the inn. He scolded the guard: "As a guard, what's the point of making noise and frolics?"
When the green-clothed guard saw the old man, he immediately stopped smiling and reported: "Elder Shui, this boy from the countryside pretended to be the young master of the Qin family..."
But before the guard in green clothes finished speaking, he saw Elder Shui bowing to Qin Feng and saying, "I've met Young Master Qin."
"Elders don't need to be polite." Qin Feng said with a chuckle. Elder Shui is always with Liu Qingxuan and has a cultivation level of the sixth level of Xuanling. Qin Feng has met him several times before, so he is no stranger to him.
The green-clothed guard looked at Elder Shui's respectful look and was dumbfounded. He still said in disbelief: "He...is he really the young master of the Qin family?"
"You are blind, why don't you apologize to Mr. Qin quickly?" Elder Shui glared at the green-robed guard fiercely.
"Forget it, don't blame those who don't know. Business is more important." Qin Feng was too lazy to argue with an ordinary guard.
"My young master has been waiting for a long time. Mr. Qin, please come with me." Elder Shui quickly led Qin Feng the way.
After entering the inn, he went straight to the third floor and walked to the door of the first room on the left. The water elder lightly knocked on the door and said, "Master, Mr. Qin is here."
With a creak, the door opened, and a handsome young man in black attire walked out of the room.
"Young Master of the Qin family, you are so arrogant, which made me wait for two days." The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little displeased.
"I was delayed by something two days ago. I came just after I saw the letter." Qin Feng explained.
Liu Qingxuan nodded. He also knew that Qin Feng had just taken over the Qin family in the past few days and there must be a lot of things to do at home. It was understandable that he was a little late.
"Why did you come to me?" Qin Feng asked.
"It's a long story, let's talk about it in the room." The expression on Liu Qingxuan's face became much more solemn in an instant.
The two entered the room, Liu Qingxuanping retired the servants, and only he and Qin Feng were left in the room.
When Qin Feng saw Liu Qingxuan's cautious behavior, he began to become more and more curious.
Liu Qingxuan made the tea himself, handed it to Qin Feng and said, "Before getting down to business, I want to ask you a question first."
"Ask." Qin Feng frowned.
Liu Qingxuan didn't take it seriously at all. He just stared into Qin Feng's eyes and asked, "Do you dare to hurt your friends?"
"When did you talk so much nonsense? If a friend is in trouble, I will naturally help him." Qin Feng said.
"Okay! I really saw you right." Liu Qingxuan said excitedly.
"Tell me, what is it?" Qin Feng asked.
"Lin Xue is missing! I suspect that he was taken away by someone, and the origins of that group of people are very complicated." Liu Qingxuan said in a deep voice.
boom...
In an instant, an unknown anger filled Qin Feng's heart. Lin Xue had always been very good to him, and they had their own feelings for each other. In his previous life, Qin Feng almost broke the window paper and had an affair with Lin Xue.
However, Qin Feng was later hunted by Qin Wenshan, and Qin Feng was forced to flee, and his relationship with Lin Xue also ended without a problem.
Later, he became successful in practice, but the Daqian Kingdom had collapsed in the chaos, and Lin Xue also disappeared from the world. This was one of Qin Feng's biggest regrets.
In this life, Qin Feng will never want similar regrets to happen again!
