Chapter 241 Leaving
"Master!"
When everyone saw Qin Ziling coming in, they all stopped practicing martial arts, even the uncles and aunts who were watching their children practicing martial arts bowed to him.
Qin Ziling returned the greeting and strode towards Cui Baihan.
Cui Bohan's mental state seemed good, but Qin Ziling could feel that his body was getting weaker and his vitality was slipping away.
This is because Cui Bohan firmly disagrees with conditioning his body these days.
Otherwise, with the Cui family's background and what Qin Ziling has on hand, it would not be difficult to extend his life.
"Grandpa!" Qin Ziling sighed secretly in his heart and walked forward to bow.
"Sit next to grandpa and bask in the sun with me." Cui Baihan said kindly.
Regarding the fake injury, Qin Ziling naturally did not hide it from Cui Bohan and Cui Jun to avoid worrying them.
So Cui Bohan did not show much surprise when Qin Ziling walked out of the courtyard.
"Okay, grandpa." Qin Ziling sat down next to Cui Baihan.
After Qin Ziling sat down, Cui Bohan grabbed his hand, patted the back of his hand gently, and talked about some things about his mother's childhood and his grandmother, his face full of happiness and reminiscence.
Cui Yun listened by the side and wiped away tears from time to time.
"Grandpa is so happy to see such an outstanding grandson like you before he leaves, and you see me off. Now I can finally close my eyes and go to see you with peace of mind..." Cui Bohan's voice became weaker and weaker, and he suddenly fell silent without knowing when.
Qin Ziling shed tears silently.
…
Ten days later, Qin Ziling finally succeeded in refining a skull, and he decided to set off back to Fangqiao County on this day.
Before leaving, in Cui Mansion, in the study of old master Cui Baiming.
There were only three people in the study, Cui Baiming, Cui Shanhe and Qin Ziling.
Outside the study, Liu Xiaoqiang stood like a mighty door god. No one was allowed to approach him, not even Cui Baiming's personal attendant.
Qin Ziling waved his hand, and the Xuantian Cloud Flag was raised, and thick clouds and fog blocked the study.
"Zi Ling, this is the Cui Mansion, and it's my grandfather's study, a truly important place. There's no need to do this, right?" Cui Shanhe said disapprovingly upon seeing this.
Qin Ziling took out a porcelain bottle and said calmly: "If you knew what's in here, you wouldn't say that."
"What's in here?" Cui Shanhe asked curiously. Cui Baiming seemed to have thought of something. His whole body trembled and his eyes were filled with horror and shock.
"It seems that great grandfather has already thought of it." Qin Ziling said.
Cui Baiming was shocked again when he heard this. He looked incredulous and muttered, "How is this possible! How is this possible!"
"Nothing is impossible! In fact, I am now a guest elder of the Golden Sword Sect. Jian Bailou and I are now in a master-disciple relationship, and my teacher is not injured now." Qin Ziling said.
"Thirteen days ago..." Cui Shanhe finally understood at this time. He almost jumped up and cold sweat broke out on his forehead for no reason.
Pu Jingyan was a quasi-grandmaster! It was not the old devil Hate Heaven who killed him, but his ridiculously young cousin in front of him and Jian Bailou who killed him!
"Just let my cousin know, there's no need to tell him." Qin Ziling interrupted calmly, then handed the bottle to Cui Baiming and said, "Grandpa, you should also eat some of this, and you should be able to live a hundred years longer. The rest is for my cousin. As long as my cousin breaks through to the late stage of bone refining, the Cui family will be truly stable in Qinghe County."
Looking at the bottle handed over by Qin Ziling, Cui Baiming and Cui Shanhe recalled that Qin Ziling deliberately injured himself in the arena and was bedridden after returning. They couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Even though they later knew that Qin Ziling was pretending to be injured, they could not imagine that he was the one who did it, let alone others!
But Qin Ziling still did everything perfectly, even at the risk of sustaining skin injuries and bleeding during the fight!
What a meticulous and cautious mind and what a deep scheming this requires!
Poor Pu Jingyan even dared to show murderous intentions towards him in the arena, not knowing that he had been plotting against her long ago.
Fortunately, they are our own people, otherwise, even if they are masters, if they are really targeted by him, they would probably die without knowing how they died!
Cui Baiming gradually recovered after a long time. He took the bottle without being polite to Qin Ziling, and then said to Cui Shanhe solemnly: "Shanhe, from now on, you two brothers should respect Ziling as your superior. If Ziling has any orders in the future, the Cui family must obey."
"Yes, grandpa!" Cui Shanhe responded seriously, and then bowed deeply to Qin Ziling with a serious face.
Qin Ziling did not avoid it and accepted Cui Shanhe's gift frankly.
"Zi Ling, what is your current strength?" Cui Shanhe bowed solemnly to Qin Ziling, expressing his respect for him, and finally couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart and asked.
"Cousin, do you really want to know?" Qin Ziling asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Cui Shanhe nodded.
"That's easy. Just go to my great-grandfather's martial arts secret room and you'll understand." Qin Ziling said to Cui Shanhe with a smile. Cui Shanhe felt his hair stand on end for some reason. He wanted to change his words, but he couldn't afford to lose face and he was also curious, so he finally nodded reluctantly.
Soon, Cui Baiming's martial arts training room.
Cui Shanhe was pressed to the ground like a toad by a huge palm filled with strong force.
"Cousin, do you want to do it again?" Qin Ziling quickly retracted his big hand and asked with a playful look at Cui Shanhe who was getting up from the ground.
"No, no, you are really too perverted!" Cui Shanhe shook his head like a rattle.
He thought that he had a solid foundation and had recently broken through to the middle stage of Bone Refining. His strength was comparable to that of a great martial artist in the late stage of Bone Refining with an average foundation. He would be able to deal with Qin Ziling without a problem.
As a result, Qin Ziling suppressed him with just a few palm strikes, and judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he had not yet used his full strength. How could he dare to ask for trouble again?
Only now did I truly understand why Pu Jingyan died so quietly!
The strength of his cousin is probably close to that of a master. Together with Jian Bailou, who is recognized as the number one person under the master, if the two of them join forces, how can Pu Jingyan not die?
"Haha, it's rare that Shanhe admits defeat so easily!" After being shocked at this, Cui Baiming burst into laughter.
…
Soon, a convoy left Cui Mansion and headed towards Fangqiao County.
Qin Ziling could have arranged for the illegitimate children and descendants of his grandfather to continue staying in the Cui Mansion, and with the support of Cui Baiming and Cui Shanhe, even if Cui Kuncheng was just an ordinary martial artist, he could still take charge of Cui Baihan's side of the family again.
But Cui Kuncheng and his men insisted on following Qin Ziling and Cui Yun to move to Fangqiao County, and were determined to become vassals of the Qin family. Qin Ziling had no choice but to take them away from Qinghe County.
Qin Ziling's grandfather had a son and a daughter from his illegitimate relationship.
My uncle, Cui Kuncheng, is 40 years old. He has been worn down by life and looks like an honest farmer. He has three sons and one daughter.
Aunt Cui Xin is also 40 years old. Her husband’s surname is also Cui, and he is a bodyguard. Five years ago, the escort had an accident. Her parents-in-law were in poor health and were considered old for ordinary people. They were so sad for their son that they passed away in the past few years, leaving behind their daughter-in-law Cui Xin, a grandson and two granddaughters.
After all, these seven cousins had some family heritage and had all practiced martial arts. However, due to the lack of financial support at home, only one of them was able to practice to a very advanced level.
Because of his grandfather's last wish, his mother especially cherished and valued this family relationship. In addition, his uncle and aunt were determined to follow him, so Qin Ziling naturally paid attention to these seven cousins. He took advantage of his free time these days to personally instruct and teach them.
Soon, Qin Ziling discovered that among these seven people, Cui Shanyong, the 17-year-old second son of his uncle, and Cui Kaixiu, the daughter of his aunt, both had some talent in martial arts. If they were well cultivated and willing to work hard , they might become powerful figures in the future.
The other five were much worse. The best Qin Ziling could do was to rely on his wealth and power to order people to train them to the level of iron-skinned apprentices or martial masters. After that, it all depended on their own luck.
When the convoy arrived in Jinliao County, it was already dark, so Qin Ziling ordered their men to stay in Jinliao County for one night and then set off again during the day.
Jinliao County was the territory of the Golden Sword Sect, so Qin Ziling didn't have to worry about any accidents. That night he called Shao E, gave her some instructions, and then quietly went up the Golden Sword Mountain alone.
He has now condensed one hundred and forty golden snake phantoms in his dantian. It is time to enter the Seven Killing Sword Cave and comprehend the "Seven Killing Sword Art".
