Chapter 200: Chapter 128: Divine Territory_2

Then, with a serious expression, she said, "Your talent is extraordinary, and you can go a long way on this path. Why not become a Jade Armor guard for Chong He."

Cui Shuning stared at his face, seemingly not wanting to miss any change in his expression.

Qin Ming thought to himself: You sure think highly of yourselves!

He shook his head and said, "My strength is meager; I am not fit to be any Jade Armor guard."

Cui He also spoke up, "We are all one family; you and Chong He should be as close as brothers. Now that you are no longer practicing the skills from the silk scripture and have truly embarked on the path of rebirth, you have the Cui Family behind you, providing you with various resources to help you rise quickly. Your realm can swiftly improve, and you can help Chong He."

He was also staring at Qin Ming’s face, a green light flickering in his eyes.

Qin Ming shook his head, refusing again.

He had sworn to endure hardship and not to follow others, let alone be a bodyguard for Cui Chonghe!

Qin Ming looked at them both; what exactly were they up to?

He suddenly realized that the Cui Family was becoming doubtful about whether he had mastered the skill from the silk scripture.

Cui He suddenly said, "Qin Ming, not returning home is one thing, but you’re not keeping a low enough profile here. Even from afar in Qinghe City, we know that you have become the ’First’ of a city."

Qin Ming was taken aback; his change of expression was too rapid—how did he suddenly lose his smile and speak with such harshness?

He noticed that both of them were looking at him.

Qin Ming frowned; first, they displayed familial affection, then suddenly asked him about the silk scripture, after that suggested he become a guard for Cui Chonghe, and now they turned cold and criticized him for being high-profile.

He understood that they were doing this intentionally, observing his expression through different attitudes and emotions to probe his inner thoughts.

In the end, for some reason, the Cui Family had become wary of him.

Qin Ming thought it over and surmised that their only concern was probably that he had mastered the skill from the silk scripture.

"I’ve changed my name and landed in a remote place; not the original Cui Chonghe anymore. Is that still not enough?" he asked sincerely.

Cui Shuning nodded, saying, "Indeed, it’s still not low-key enough."

Cui He was very serious and asked, "Are you planning to enter an ancient Taoist sect or join a special high-level academy? You might as well return with us to the Cui Family."

Qin Ming had been patiently "humoring" them for a long time.

Now his smile disappeared; he did not want to say much more.

If the Cui Family kept pressing him like this, it was too much—he was now Qin Ming, who had already severed his past. What more did they want?

Clearly, some people in the Cui Family were getting more and more restless, wanting to impede his future, preventing him from joining ancient Taoist sects or special high-level academies.

"You two can leave; you’re not welcome here," Meng Xinghai walked into the living room, looking displeased.

Cui Shuning smiled and said, "Brother Meng, we are discussing matters with our own child, it’s none of your concern."

Cui He also spoke up, "Brother Meng, our feelings for this child are deep. This is our family affair; we came here intending to take him back and cultivate him with emphasis."

Meng Xinghai’s face darkened as he said, "We all know what’s what, no need to say such things here. Leave now or don’t blame me for being rude."

Cui Shuning said with a smile, "Brother Meng, don’t be angry, can we reason this out? This truly is a child raised by my family, no matter where we go to argue, we have the right."

"You’ve already abandoned him, not afraid of losing face, or having people think you’re lacking in kindness and grace? Then feel free to bring up those past events once again. Furthermore, don’t say I have no relation to him; he is my prospective son-in-law."

Meng Xinghai’s words not only surprised the two from the Cui Family but also left Qin Ming momentarily lost in thought.

"You don’t even have a daughter; how can he become your son-in-law?" Cui Shuning laughed.

Meng Xinghai said, "I may not have a daughter now, but can’t I have one? And if there’s not enough time, adopting a daughter would solve it."

Cui Shuning’s face turned slightly cold as he said, "Brother Meng, do you value this child raised by my family so much?"

"If you don’t leave now, I’ll have to ask you to roll out!" Meng Xinghai turned hostile; he had heard the conversation in the living room and had endured them for too long.

"Brother Meng, you’re going too far!"

"Meng Xinghai, I advise you not to be so overbearing."

With a boom, all the bronze ancient artifacts in the living room began to glow, the Purple Copper Incense Burner with the Calming Incense inside igniting spontaneously.

"Unwilling to accept the face given, huh?" Meng Xinghai’s voice turned chilly.

From the Purple Copper Incense Burner, billows of incense smoke resembling ropes rapidly spread, enveloping the two visitors.

They naturally would not give in easily; Cui He’s body emitted a green light, his hair and eyes turning eerily green as he unleashed a terrifying power!

Cui Shuning’s forehead gleamed with the Consciousness Spiritual Light, forming a spiritual blade that slashed forward.

All the bronze ancient artifacts in the living room were crystal clear, creating ripples, and in an instant, the space seemed to solidify.

Both Cui He and Cui Shuning couldn’t move, gasping for air under pressure, their faces pale.

"This is... Divine Territory?"

"Divine Wisdom has already transformed into territory!"

The two spoke one after the other, realizing the opponent’s strength was far greater than theirs, utterly out of their league.

The white smoke from the incense burner twined around them like ropes, wrapping them in coils of fog, lifting them off the ground, and tossing them out of the living room, embarrassing them in the courtyard.

"Scram!" Meng Xinghai bellowed.

The two said nothing, got up, and immediately left.

Meng Xinghai slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, those two were intentionally being offensive to test my attitude towards you and further assess your current potential and other factors."

He initially wanted to chase after them but then stopped, saying, "Never mind, if you want to join the Great Sect’s ancestral court or a renowned high-level academy, you would need to make some demonstrations anyway. A needle in a bag cannot be concealed."

Qin Ming took a while to collect himself; the arrival of those two had severed the last tie to his past!

"Uncle Meng, do I need to go into hiding? To enter... the deep, dark mountains."

Meng Xinghai said, "What are you thinking of, no need to worry, some people in the Cui Family can’t cover the sky with one hand in Yewu World. Perform well and strive to become a Core Disciple of a top major power as soon as possible."

Qin Ming heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Then I’m relieved. Uncle Meng, aside from my upcoming duel with Qi Daoming from Chasing Light City, I feel that some people from the Cui Family will also take the stage to test me; they want to verify some things. How about you and I make a plan together—if Cui He wants to interfere by sending someone to the stage, let him put up the ’Yimu Changqing Skill’ as a stake."

Meng Xinghai gave him a strange look; just now, he seemed so disheartened that he wanted to retreat to the desolate mountains and forests of Yewu World, yet now it appeared that he had been coveting the Secret Scripture of someone else all along.

"After all, I lived in the Cui Family for over ten years, and I understand the style of Uncle Cui He," Qin Ming said calmly.
