Chapter 116: Chapter 75 Lamenting the Past_3
Qin Ming had even met that young girl, who was extremely beautiful and loved to smile.
However, as he grew older, when the two sides met again, Master Cui and Madam Cui began to admonish him to know propriety and avoid suspicion, not to make close contact anymore.
Once, when he and the Wang Family’s legitimate daughter were touring Qinghe City together, Master Cui was angry and scolded him afterwards.
As Qin Ming grew up, although the Cui Family still valued him and praised their "Qilin son" in front of distinguished guests, they seldom let him meet those people again, fearing he would be distracted, and wanted him to focus on the silk scripture Skill.
After his teens, he met many people, from important figures of major families, to members of the direct lineage of thousand-year-old families, to the disciples of outsiders.
It must be said, the foundation of the thousand-year-old families is profound. Even those ancient Taoist lineages, powerful sects, and even outsiders were willing to form connections with them.
For several years, it was rumored that some significant figures from the Outer World would accept disciples, several would emerge from seclusion and enter the secular world to choose suitable disciples, the location was set in Qinghe City.
The rumors were true, families were in motion, Li Qingxu, Li Qingyue, the Wang Family’s legitimate daughter, and a batch of others came to this giant city, hoping to become disciples of those formidable figures.
It was at this time that Qin Ming sensed the hostility from Li Qingxu.
In the end, some well-known outsiders indeed showed up and a small number of people were chosen.
An old senior with a significant reputation highly valued Li Qingxu and gifted him a Purple Bamboo Stick nourished by Heavenly Light upon meeting.
Afterward, Qin Ming was puzzled; wasn’t an old senior famed across the Yewu World supposed to take him away? Why was Li Qingxu chosen instead.
"Do not rush; the old senior interested in you has not yet come out of seclusion," said Master Cui.
After that, Qin Ming encountered numerous assassination attempts but survived them all.
Nobody expected that the emerging Li Family would suddenly want to wage war against the Cui Family.
Perhaps Qin Ming didn’t notice it at the time, or maybe the elders within the Cui Family were already aware and prepared.
"An old guy from the Li Family has made a breakthrough, might reach nearly Immortal status, and our Cui Family’s old ancestor has not appeared for two hundred years. The Li Family, by clashing with the Cui Family, wants to achieve a range of goals, display their strength, advance to the ranks of a true thousand-year-old family; they need such a battle."
"The scariest part is, they have support behind them, they might also be being pushed forward."
...
When the two major families were about to collide, people of the Cui Family were discussing this, and Qin Ming was quite worried for his family.
"Our old ancestor has not appeared yet, the current situation is very grim, we might not be able to hold off, we need to preserve our foundation and retreat first. We must also visit our old ancestor’s place of seclusion again, I believe he is still alive, we must make him return as soon as possible."
One deep night, the Cui Family secretly sent away a batch of important members, and another group had to take a different path, this latter might have to confront a large number of elite from the Li Family.
"Chong He, you are my child, our main lineage must take responsibility; I still have to oversee the overall situation, I can’t leave by that path temporarily. Your younger brother is still immature, you represent me and accompany those elders on the second path," Master Cui personally spoke.
That night, Master Cui had a complicated expression and patted his second son on the shoulder.
Qin Ming watched his parents; he knew that the path he was to take was extremely dangerous, likely a narrow escape from death, mainly to attract the attention of a large number of elite from the Li Family. Those accompanying him were old members of the Cui Family, who didn’t have many years of life left.
"Father, Mother, younger brother!" Qin Ming, with tears in his eyes, nodded and said farewell to them. He boarded the bronze cart, looking back in the dark night, only seeing the distant backs of his parents.
Inside the inn, Qin Ming sighed.
