Chapter 6, Remember Them (1)

Lin Tianshu's eyes lit up upon hearing this

Although the expression of the Iron Mask could not be clearly seen, his tone appeared somewhat agitated

The Iron Mask suddenly had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed: "Could it be that Qin Tang is still alive!"

Lin Yi also saw the body of his master, Wang Meng. He died a tragic death, with his chest cut open

The smiling man said: "I also captured a child. Before Qin Jin died, he was hiding with this child in the artificial hill, and it seems he said something to the child. The child begged me not to kill him, saying he knows where the Snow-Melting Sword is."

Hatred

No wonder the old man urged him to do everything possible to survive! He must survive! He must survive to avenge those who have died!

Qin Gumei was rescued by a masked man

In this world, how many can snatch people from your hands?

Lin Tianshu was somewhat perplexed; it seemed as if he were speaking to himself, yet also as if he were addressing the Iron-faced Man

This left them both shocked and filled with intense curiosity. In particular, Lin Tianshu was eager to witness this person in person and engage in a battle with him.

"To be his ghostly dream"

Lin Tianshu hurriedly asked: "Where are the people?"

There are currently four people in the room: Lin Tianshu, Lin Hong'e, Qin Dingfang, and a woman wearing a gauze hat and a veil. They are having tea and chatting.

The smiling man carried the corpse of Qin Jin, escorting Lin Yi to the courtyard of Qin Dingfang.

The veiled woman said to Lin Tianshu: "Master Lin, both Qin and Jin are dead. Why hasn't Qin Gumei been captured yet? Could there be some mistake?"

The assassin also said to Lin Tianshu: "Leader, I used my unique skill 'Ghost Claw Hand', and he immediately countered with the same technique, employing it in a manner that was far more bizarre, variable, and vicious than my own. I nearly lost my life."

Lin Tianshu felt a sense of doubt in his heart. Just as he was about to send someone to investigate, the person known as "Iron Mask Brother" returned. It turned out to be a man wearing a black iron mask

The smiling man pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Su Qinghou has that capability, but it is definitely not him. Over thirty years ago, Qin Tang and Su Qinghou's father, Su Zhen, fought a great battle at the summit of Mount Tai for the position of the leader of the martial arts world. In the end, Su Zhen was defeated by Qin Tang and severely injured. The serious injury exacerbated Su Zhen's old ailment, and he later fell ill and passed away three years later, harboring resentment. At that time, Su Qinghou was still young, and he vowed to avenge his father. From then on, he practiced martial arts diligently. As Su Qinghou grew up, his martial arts skills became extraordinary, but Qin Tang had already died. The serious injury exacerbated Su Zhen's old ailment, and he later fell ill and passed away three years later, harboring resentment. At that time, Su Qinghou was still young, and he vowed to avenge his father. From then on, he practiced martial arts diligently. As Su Qinghou grew up, his martial arts skills became extraordinary, but Qin Tang had already died. With Qin Tang's death, it was already rare for Su Qinghou to consider his status and not make things difficult for the Qin family, so it is impossible for him to intervene and save Qin Gumei.

The guard said: "What Lord Iron Face said is true. That person's martial arts are too terrifying. We have lost four guards and over twenty brothers. That person, accompanied by Qin Gumei, fought his way out, and no one could stop him. Leader, we have done our best..."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Dingfang, unaware that Qin Dingfang was actually Lin Tianshu's son. It felt somewhat awkward to mention the words spoken at the time of Qin Jin's death in front of the descendants of the Qin family

Lin Tianshu stood up and said to the smiling man, "Brother Smiling Face, where is Qin Jin?"

The smiling man also said: "It is not Qin Tang. I know Qin Tang; if he were truly alive, he would not stand by and watch the Northern Court suffer such calamity while only rescuing Qin Gu Mei. Moreover, I was present when Qin Tang was laid to rest, and I personally witnessed his body being placed into the coffin"

The smiling man said to Lin Tianshu: "When Qin Jin died, he shouted loudly, 'The bloodline of the Qin family will not perish. One day, the descendants of the Qin family will seek revenge on you.'"

Accompanying him was a guard of Lin Tianshu, who bore injuries and had a rather grim expression on his face

Upon hearing these words, the people in the room were even more astonished.

Sometimes feeling depressed, I simply leave the residence to travel with friends. By nature, I am quite carefree, and due to my wife, Qin Gumei often finds joy in flirting and enjoying the pleasures of life outside, forgetting my home. When I am in the residence, Qin Gumei, seeking tranquility, mostly resides in a room within the garden.

These questions continuously lingered in Lin Tianshu's mind, yet he found it difficult to resolve them at the moment

At this moment, there are several of Lin Tianshu's guards stationed in the courtyard. The smiling man instructed his subordinates to wait outside while he entered the room

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Lin Tianshu's face

Lin Tianshu said to the veiled woman: "I have arranged for 'Iron Face Brother' to personally lead a team to capture Qin Gumei, along with several of my elite guards. Qin Gumei's martial arts are not as good as her father's, so she should be easily captured..."

The flames of hatred surged within Lin Yi like a raging fire

Let us set this matter aside for now. We shall first attend to the important business at hand

The plan was so meticulous that this unexpected event was unforeseen. Who exactly rescued Qin Gumei?

Lin Tianshu found it even harder to believe. He had a clear understanding of the Iron-faced Man's martial arts prowess, not to mention that he was accompanied by several skilled fighters and a few of his deadly guards

The Iron Masked Man remained silent, his mind now a tangled mess. Reflecting on that mysterious and terrifying figure in black still sent shivers down his spine. He had never encountered someone so formidable. That was a top-tier expert, an unparalleled master! Who on earth was that person?

It turns out that Qin Gumei rarely lived with his wife and children. Qin Gumei felt that his wife had changed a lot since giving birth to their son, becoming like an unreasonable lioness. She often picked fights and argued with him. Qin Gumei could not understand why the gentle and obedient Hong Ao had transformed into a different person. Little did he know that it was actually Lin Tianshu's jealousy that caused Hong Ao to quarrel with Qin Gumei, so that Qin Gumei would grow to dislike her and would no longer approach her

Lin Tianshu's gaze narrowed as he filtered through the few peak experts in the world in his mind, considering who was most likely to rescue Qin Gumei. After a moment, he turned his gaze towards the Smiling Man. The Smiling Man had a good relationship with the three brothers of the Qin family back in the day and was also well-acquainted with the affairs of the martial world.

Could it be the Southern Courtyard's Su Qinghou

Lin Yi witnessed scenes of unimaginable horror. Everywhere lay the corpses of his comrades, blood, and severed limbs.

In Lin Tianshu's eyes, there is only one martial arts genius in the world, and that is himself

Lin Hong'e is indeed very filial to Qin Jin, also taking care of the affairs of the household, and is devoted to raising her son, which is why Qin Guimei, for the greater good, concedes to her

Lin Tianshu referred to the other party by the image of the mask they wore, without revealing their identity, demonstrating a high level of caution and meticulousness

Lin Tianshu nodded in agreement after listening. He then walked in front of the Iron Masked Man and asked: "What kind of martial arts is the opponent using?"

The smiling man hurriedly stopped his subordinates from harming Lin Yi

The smiling person said: "Dead, the corpse is outside"

Then several people fell into silence

The Iron Masked Man let out a bitter laugh and said: "After he fought with me, he began to use my martial arts. I have noticed that whoever engages in combat with him, he quickly adopts their techniques. It is simply a case of learning and applying on the spot! To my knowledge, there is no such extraordinary master in the martial world."

Several people were even more astonished after hearing this; it was simply a marvel of martial arts!

The two characters 'Qin' and 'Tang' sent a chill down the spines of everyone in the room

He asked again what the smiling man Qin Jin said when he died

Upon hearing this news, everyone in the room was greatly shocked

Lin Hong'e hurriedly interjected, "It is impossible! I have been in the Qin family for so many years, and through my observations and investigations, Qin Tang is indeed dead. Moreover, I had Ding Fang test the waters with his grandfather; Ding Fang is the only hope for the Qin family, and his grandfather would not deceive him."

Every deceased person is very familiar to Lin Yi. They lived in the mansion like family. The northern mansion is their home. Now, the homeland has become a slaughterhouse, and the "relatives" have all been brutally killed. Their deaths are so unjust! These tragic and bloody scenes create a tremendous impact, shaking every nerve in Lin Yi's body.

Who is the mysterious person that rescued Qin Gumei? How did he know that the Northern Mansion would face disaster tonight? Could it be that Qin Jin secretly invited him to deal with the situation on August 9th? What connection does the mysterious person have with the Qin family?

Upon hearing that "Grandfather" had passed away, Qin Dingfang felt a sense of indescribable emotion arise within him
