Chapter 119: Chapter 78 A Person
Qin Ming exhaled a murky breath, thinking about all the past events that seemed like a surreal life.
But all of them were real experiences, he felt a tightness in his chest, various thoughts tumbling intensely, and he clenched onto the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade to calm his emotions.
"Calm the heart." He sat back down, forcing himself to remain composed. From childhood to now, although it had been less than twenty years, his past was nonetheless filled with twists and complexities.
A regular youth might have been driven to a breakdown.
Qin Ming went over the details of the past to avoid future risks, desiring to analyze the characters and methods of those people.
Because those events had not ended, not long ago, Master Cui and Madam Cui had attempted to confine him in a remote place.
"Fifth Master Cui always wore a smile, it was he who induced me to persist in Practicing Silk Scripture, not to touch any other Xinsheng Skills. Now it seems indeed beneficial for me, but back then, it was to block my progressive path."
Qin Ming remembered, he had even asked Master Cui and Madam Cui for their views, and both of them agreed with Fifth Master Cui’s statement.
However, when Cui Chongxuan coveted the silk scripture and wanted to practice it as well, Master Cui scolded him saying that one person practicing this skill was enough, and promised to find him an equally terrifying "Six Imperial Heart Sutra."
Qin Ming also wanted to see that Six Imperial Heart Sutra, but Master Cui just calmly watched him, counter-asking whether he lacked confidence in himself and the silk scripture.
"When Cui Chongxuan approached thirteen, under the elders’ urging, he had already gone through three rebirths and began consuming the Three Colored Flower to merge four types of Heavenly Light Force."
Looking back, Qin Ming had already sensed various anomalies at that time, but having lived together for many years, he was reluctant to suspect his relatives maliciously.
Everything had early signs, from a young age, the Cui Family had always praised him generously, leading to numerous assassination attempts.
Qin Ming clearly remembered that every time the Cui Family eliminated a master close to him, their first reaction was not worry for him, but rather immense joy.
Both Master Cui and Madam Cui were very calm, never nervous or fearful after his dangerous encounters, always praising those powerful masters involved, hoping to eliminate as many evil intents towards the Cui Family as possible.
...
Clearly, at this moment, the Cui Family seemed to Qin Ming as a great mountain towering into the clouds.
"My silk scripture is still there." Without mentioning anything else, he had to retrieve that book.
It was not only the sole item left by his grandfather, but also related to his future path.
The silk scripture was incomplete, with a large portion burned away, but it undoubtedly retained some emotions, as it bore the crystallized efforts of several old seniors.
Qin Ming could resonate with it to obtain the complete silk scripture.
The Cui Family, he was destined to face, must head to Qinghe City, only wanting to retrieve the silk scripture, unaware how many waves it would stir.
"Two years ago, the major collision between Cui and Li, the Cui Family must have been injured in their Primordial Qi, but they should be able to recover soon."
Obviously, the Li Family suffered greater losses.
For the Cui Family had deployed mainly elders, who were unlikely to live for many more years, all daring not fearing death, targeting potential and strong youths of the Li Family, willingly battling ferociously, aiming to puncture the Li Family’s future.
Qin Ming had witnessed firsthand how crazy those old men were, which also reflected their strong identification with the Cui Family.
He had to sigh, this was the foundation of a thousand-year-old noble family, difficult to shake.
Especially in that Outer World, many masters were from noble families.
Even with thousand-year-old noble families declining, they were hard to fully topple unless their kinsmen in the Outer World also "collapsed" thoroughly.
"In the past, there were bloody lessons that deterred the major royal courts." After Qin Ming regained his memory, he naturally became familiar with the affairs of noble families.
Long ago, a thousand-year-old family was annihilated by an exceedingly prosperous dynasty, but later someone from the Outer World emerged, re-establishing that noble family, and that dynasty eventually declined obscurely, ultimately being terminated.
Qin Ming suddenly realized, not only was the Cui Family dangerous for him, but there was also an exceptionally powerful Li Family, already capable of challenging the status of a thousand-year-old family.
At this moment, he felt tightness in his chest again, this should be the enemy of the Cui Family, originally none of his concern, yet he was involuntarily pulled into it.
The Feather Robed Youth Li Qingxu had almost killed him, this matter definitely could not end well.
In fact, given Qin Ming’s understanding of Li Qingxu’s character, the latter would surely not let him go.
"He holds deep enmity towards me, but since when did it begin?" Qin Ming frowned in reflection.
After careful consideration, he believed it related to his engagement with the Wang Family’s legitimate daughter, as it seemed Li Qingxu had known the noble lady quite early on.
"My life of these ten-plus years, could it be even more ill-fated? Life is all illusion, abandoned, nearly dead, scapegoated, and in the end, forced to stay in a remote place, not allowed to step on the Newborn Road..."
Qin Ming took a deep breath, then forcefully exhaled a great mouthful of frustration.
Engaged to the Wang Family’s legitimate daughter, what business was that of his? That was a union between the Cui Family and the Wang Family, his impression of that girl merely rested on her being extraordinarily beautiful and very fond of smiling, never truly getting to know her.
The Wang Family’s legitimate daughter was indeed very intelligent, adept at handling matters, this was the feeling Qin Ming got from their only outing together.
But afterward, he was harshly scolded by Master Cui, who admonished him to be conscious of propriety and to avoid further private contacts.
Without a doubt, Li Qingxu was driven by so-called "bitter resentment," plus the confrontation between the two powerful families, harboring extreme hostility towards him, perhaps also thinking of preemptively eliminating a future competitor in the Outer World.
