Chapter 8: The Emergence of Malice

This means that from now on, Qin Xunan will no longer be a star cultivator, but can only be a useless person even inferior to an ordinary individual, just like Qin Xing a few days ago

Qin Yue, like her father, did not look down upon Qin Xing because he was an adopted son; instead, she treated him as if he were her own younger brother, taking great care of him. As a result, Qin Xing held a deep respect for this elder sister.

Third brother, elder sister is deeply focused on her cultivation. If she were to learn about father's news, it would surely affect her. There is no need to tell her, rest assured, with second brother here!

Qin Xing smiled gently, reached out and lightly ruffled Qin Yang's hair, saying: "Don't worry, father is fine! Father is asleep, so please do not disturb him for now"

Still recovering from his serious injuries, Qin Xunan had once again fallen into a deep sleep after speaking so much in one breath. Qin Xing also stood up, carefully tucking the corners of her father's blanket. After gazing intently at her father for a long time, she clenched her fists and said: "Father, rest assured, I will definitely heal your meridians and find the person who harmed you to avenge you"

Qin Xing is increasingly convinced that his speculation is correct. If it were an outsider seeking revenge, they would not have spared his father's life. It can only be that someone within the family is attempting to usurp the position of the family head, deliberately colluding with outsiders to inflict serious harm on his father

Later, my father went to pursue the clues, but once again fell into an ambush. This can only indicate that someone within the family is deliberately colluding with external forces and has leaked our whereabouts to them! However, this person clearly has the ability to kill my father, yet intentionally spared his life. What could be their purpose?

Indeed! Upon hearing Qin Xing's words, Qin Yang's face immediately displayed a look of relief, breaking into a smile.

Between heaven and earth, there are abundant natural treasures and rare spiritual herbs, among which many can even bring a person back to life, not to mention the ability to connect one's meridians

Qin Fei said with a face full of mockery: "Waste, you've grown some temper, huh! How dare you scold me! Today, I will teach you a good lesson!"

Unexpectedly, this time he encountered an ambush again, and there were more than ten enemies, the weakest among them being at least Seven Star Warriors. The final outcome was that Qin Xunan was severely injured, with all his meridians severed. However, his opponents did not kill him; they simply left him lying there until he was discovered and taken back by the Qin family

After listening to his father's account, if it had been in the past, Qin Xing might have felt nothing but anger. However, things are different now. The current Qin Xing, having experienced two lifetimes, and with the Gate of Heavenly Secrets now opened, possesses an exceptionally meticulous mind. With just a moment's contemplation, he was able to analyze the entire sequence of events.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Xing's emotions calmed down in an instant. For others, having their meridians completely severed might indeed mean being a useless person forever. However, for Qin Xing, who had already awakened the memories of his past life's cultivation, having his meridians severed was not an insurmountable problem.

In fact, from childhood to adulthood, it has always been Qin Yang protecting his brother due to Qin Xing's ineptitude. However, upon hearing Qin Xing's words now, Qin Yang inexplicably felt a sense of calm settle in his heart, and he nodded vigorously.

As soon as he relaxed, Qin Yang's problems began to multiply, but Qin Xing did not have the time to explain everything to him in detail. With a slight smile, he said: "Third brother, second brother still has some matters to attend to, I will tell you later, for now, you should go back!"

By the way, Second Brother, I just heard from Uncle and the others that a family meeting will be held in three days to elect a new head of the family. Should we inform Eldest Sister about this news

Over the past fifteen years, although Qin Fei has bullied Qin Xing quite a bit, he has somewhat restrained himself due to the presence of Qin Xunan. However, now that Qin Xunan has been severely injured and has also become incapacitated, Qin Fei no longer has any reservations.

As long as one is found, it can restore my father to his former self, and even turn misfortune into fortune, significantly enhancing his strength

The meridians are completely severed

In addition to Qin Xing and Qin Yang, Qin Xunan has an eldest daughter named Qin Yue, who is exceptionally talented and the foremost expert among the younger generation of the Qin family. Five years ago, she made a remarkable impression by successfully sensing the stars during the family's Star Sensing Ceremony, which caught the attention of the Di Yuan Sect of the Xing Xiu School, leading to her being accepted as a disciple. Since then, she has devoted herself to cultivation and has not returned home.

Let him know who the true leader of the Qin family is

Qin Xing stood there as if in a daze, his mind echoing with his uncle's last words

It's nothing

It is evident that Qin Xunan does not want his son to know the truth, yet Qin Xing's attitude is extremely resolute. In desperation, Qin Xunan finally began to narrate the story.

Brother Qin Fei, kill this useless person

The words of the third brother immediately clarified the doubts in Qin Xing's heart: "Head of the family, so it is for the position of the head of the family. However, father has just fallen, and you are so eager to select a new head of the family, truly unwilling to wait even a moment! Fortunately, there are still three days left, which is enough!"

Having reached the realm of Star Motion, Qin Fei struck out at Qin Xing, who was born a waste. If this palm were to land, even if Qin Xing did not die, he would at least lose half of his life

Qin Xing stepped out of the room and gently closed the door. At the doorway, Qin Yang stood there with tears in his eyes, looking at Qin Xing and asking, "Second brother, is father alright?"

At that moment, Qin Xunan's faint voice sounded: "Xing'er, it's good that you are fine! Don't worry about your father, he will get better!"

The young people around were making a loud commotion

There are no fluctuations of stellar energy, just a simple punch

Looking at Qin Yang's smile, Qin Xing knew that from this moment on, the responsibilities on his shoulders would become even more significant

In Qin Fei's eyes, Qin Xing was nothing more than a good-for-nothing living off others. However, today, he found himself obediently stepping aside because of a mere glance from this useless person, which made him feel utterly humiliated. This grievance was something he could not swallow, especially with several elders present earlier, making it inappropriate for him to act. Therefore, he waited here, determined to give Qin Xing a severe beating to restore his dignity.

At this moment, facing the hand that was almost within reach, Qin Xing appeared to be oblivious, his expression remarkably calm. Just as the hand was about to strike his face, Qin Xing suddenly raised his fist to meet it.

By the way, Second Brother, how come the birthmark on your face is gone... What exactly happened that day?

The incident where my father and I were ambushed was inherently strange, as no one outside of our family knew that we would be heading to the Zhenxing Sect. Yet, those men in black clearly had an intimate knowledge of our movements, which is why they lay in wait in the dense forest, intending to put my father to death

In fact, it was quite simple. On that day, the father and son were attacked, and Qin Xunan saved Qin Xing at a critical moment. After sending him back home, he felt increasingly uneasy. Therefore, he went back to the dense forest to search for any clues, hoping to uncover the identity of the assailants.

Qin Xing coldly stared at Qin Fei, his eyes revealing an unreserved disdain, which only made Qin Fei more displeased. His expression twisted in anger, and suddenly, he swung his hand forcefully towards Qin Xing.

Everyone has left the room, leaving only Qin Xing and his son.

A trace of fierce killing intent flashed in Qin Xing's eyes

After sending Qin Yang back, Qin Xing walked towards his room. However, as he passed by the training ground, a group of people suddenly surrounded him, with Qin Fei at the forefront.

Qin Xing even revealed a slight smile on his face and said, "Father, I am fine, you need not worry about me. What exactly happened?"
