“Who are you calling ‘Zhang the Tiger’?” Zhang Yalin said in a cold voice.

Zhong Yuanliang immediately plastered a smile on his face and hastily added, “A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!”

“Sigh, you two really are…” Number Three said helplessly from the side, clearly finding it a good match, yet every time they met they squabbled.

“Shut up!” Zhang Yalin and Zhong Yuanliang said in unison.

In a sickroom in the capital, Elder Ming was speaking to Zhang Henian: “Little Zhang, does Yalin still refuse to believe the truth and forgive the Ming family?”

“Mister Ming, Yalin may seem lively and carefree, but in reality, she is meticulous.

Perhaps she herself doesn’t wish to believe it.

But rest assured, she will never do anything to hurt the Ming family,” Zhang Henian said quietly, his eyes revealing an underlying pain that suggested he had not yet forgotten the sorrow of losing his child.

Elder Ming sighed and said, “Little Zhang, you misunderstand me.

I just feel guilty for letting a six-year-old child lose their father.”

“Having eaten the Ming family’s food, one is a member of the Ming family.

There’s no need for you to worry, Mister Ming!”

………………………………………

After Number Three and the others left, Qin Han looked at Zhong Wanshan and said indifferently, “You needn’t worry about Yuan Liang’s matter.

Once the Chen family’s situation is settled, I will make a trip to Changbai Mountain to find the necessary medicinal catalyst.”

“Senior brother, Wanshan has a request out of desperation,” Zhong Wanshan said with a grave tone after hearing Qin Han’s words.

“Speak!”

“If Yuan Liang’s injury cannot be healed, could senior brother possibly protect the Zhong family until the next Family Head grows up?

I don’t have many days left to live, Yuan Liang has been injured, and Kui An’s temperament is somewhat soft.

Without a powerful figure to stand guard, the Zhong family will be easily bullied!” Zhong Wanshan pleaded earnestly.

Qin Han looked at Zhong Wanshan with a profound gaze and after a long pause, said firmly, “As long as I’m here, the Zhong family will not fall!

This has nothing to do with Yuan Liang’s injury!”

“Then I thank you, senior brother.

I truly don’t know if I will be able to see our master again before I die,” Zhong Wanshan said, his face showing a nostalgic and yearning expression.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Han said lightly, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible.

Our master has already ascended to another realm.”

“Has master already reached that legendary realm?” Zhong Wanshan asked in surprise, then with a look as if it were only to be expected, he continued, “Of course!

Back then, our master was not even forty years old, yet his martial arts were already reaching a transformational level.

With so many years passed, if he hadn’t advanced to that legendary realm, it would actually be abnormal.

Heh heh!”

Qin Han could tell that Zhong Wanshan was genuinely happy for him.

He was eager to reveal to Zhong Wanshan that he himself was his master, but now was not the time.

“No wonder you could teach a Divine Doctor like young friend Qin.

Your master must be one of those legendary figures,” Sun Pinghui, who had been quietly listening all along, suddenly interjected.

Qin Han almost forgot that Sun Ping was there and said indifferently, “You flatter me, Elder Sun.

But I do recall something.

I would like Medicine King Valley and the Zhong family to form an alliance.

What do you think about this, Elder Sun?”

“With you, young friend Qin, mediating, and the Zhong family’s martial power as support, I wholeheartedly agree,” Sun Pinghui said with a smile.

After all, who would hesitate to gain the backing of a martial arts family for free?

Qin Han nodded, then turned to look at Zhong Wanshan and said:

“Wanshan, the matter I wish to discuss with you pertains exactly to this—how much do you understand about the world of cultivators?”

At these words, Zhong Wanshan was momentarily taken aback before he responded, “My understanding is limited.

I only know that martial artists at the pinnacle of martial prowess are equivalent to those at the Foundation Establishment Stage in the realm of cultivation.

These individuals do not intervene in the mundane world’s affairs, unless it is a matter of life and death for the Xia clan, at which point they will step forward to protect their kin.”

“Yes, you’re correct.

Those who reign supreme in the martial world are merely fledglings within the realm of cultivation.

There are far too many things in this world that we do not yet understand,” Qin Han said calmly.

“Senior brother, are you about to speak of matters concerning the cultivation world?” Zhong Wanshan inquired.

Qin Han stood up, looked out the window with his hands clasped behind his back, and said indifferently, “When our master left, he bequeathed several medicinal recipes capable of enhancing a martial artist’s prowess.

Among them, two are from the cultivation world, which can instantaneously elevate a martial artist at the pinnacle of their martial path to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

I will also be seeking out the ingredients listed on those two recipes during my journey.

With me here, you won’t die!”

Zhong Wanshan’s eyes lit up as he excitedly asked, “Does this mean, senior brother, that?”

“After I leave, there are two things you need to take care of: first, protect our junior sister-in-law and the two of them.

Second, select youngsters with remarkable innate talent from within the family to the greatest extent possible.”

“Rest assured, senior brother, I will make preparations upon my return.

However, aside from Yuan Liang and myself, Zhong family only has one other Martial Arts Grandmaster, which may be insufficient to withstand an attack from the Chen family,” Zhong Wanshan hastily agreed, then expressed his concerns.

Qin Han, gazing into the distance outside the window, spoke softly, “Don’t worry about the Chen family; I will take care of it before I leave.”

“Senior brother, the Chen family has stood strong in the capital for a century; their power is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

I even suspect they have connections with the cultivation world.

If it’s possible to maintain a peaceful relationship, we should avoid outright hostility with them,” Zhong Wanshan said earnestly.

“I guess we’ve already burned bridges with the Chen family; I’ve disabled Chen Jingtian,” Qin Han’s voice was cold as he spoke.

Zhong Wanshan shook his head and said, “Big families are not fools.

Merely crippling the martial capabilities of a family scion wouldn’t lead to an irreconcilable feud.”

“He can no longer be a man.”

“Oh, that’s nothing.

What?

Senior brother, what did you say?” Zhong Wanshan casually replied, then suddenly exclaimed in shock.

Only now did Zhong Wanshan fully comprehend what Qin Han meant by saying he had ‘disabled’ Chen Jingtian…

He had cut off their line of succession; it seemed this grudge was now unresolvable.

“Senior brother, what do you need me to do?” Zhong Wanshan promptly asked.

Since the situation was beyond salvaging, it was time to act—a philosophy he lived by.

“As you said, the Chens are not fools.

If a battle were to start, the Chen family might not stand to gain from it.

Right now, they’ve just lost a third-generation member.

Who knows, if I am in a bad mood, their family line might just end with this,” Qin Han said with detached ease.

Hearing Qin Han’s words, both Sun Pinghui and Zhong Wanshan drew a sharp breath.

Zhong Wanshan never doubted Qin Han’s words.

Although he hadn’t known this senior brother for long, Qin Han possessed a temperament almost identical to their master’s, and he was definitely capable of such actions.

As for Sun Pinghui, there was a sense of surviving a calamity as he thought back to the time he and his grandson went to the Qin family’s medical clinic, feeling fortunate they had not encountered Qin Han in a foul mood.

Before coming here, he had made inquiries; Qin Han had indeed frightened off a powerful martial artist from the Chen family at the pinnacle of martial arts.

While the expressions on their faces were varied, Qin Han spoke calmly towards the window:

“I wonder which friend from the Chen family has graced us with their presence.

Since you’re here, why endure the cold outdoors?”
