Returning to Nanling, the Lin family intercepted

"Have you made up your mind? Do you want to stay in this hellhole of Xiling, or go back with us?"

Qin Ruqing sat next to Tang Zifeng, and Qirong and Lu Wei turned their heads to look at him curiously.

Tang Zifeng lowered his eyes and looked down, and did not answer immediately.

Qin Ruqing sighed for some reason, "Actually, this question is easy to answer. There are not many people in Xiling who care about you. Logically, there is no need to hesitate about this question. But I asked you twice, and you didn't say anything. Tang Zifeng, you don't really want to stay here, do you?"

Qirong and Lu Wei didn't expect Tang Zifeng to think like this. They always thought that this matter was a question that didn't need to be thought about.

Brother Tang has been a guest elder in their family for many years, and everyone in the Qin family values ​​him very much. And let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about feelings. Now that Tang Biao has been executed, few people in the Tang family really care about Brother Tang. On the contrary, if he comes to the Qin family, he still has these few friends.

So, what is there to hesitate about this matter.

Qin Ruqing clenched his fist and waved it in front of him, "Talking, people have mouths for talking besides eating. People like you who don’t have a mouth will be hit by readers of the storybooks. They hate you the most."

Finally, Tang Zifeng’s mouth worked. He said in a low voice with a blank look in his eyes: "But my mother has always taught me that she is sorry for the Tang family and asked me to compensate the Tang family for her. And, In the Tang family, except for Tang Biao who did evil, the others, although not so good, seem to be not bad to me either..."

Qin Ruqing fell backwards in surprise, "You are actually doing this because of your mother! Your mother asked you to work hard for the Tang family, and you worked hard. Why didn't she do it herself when she cared so much about the Tang family and needed her for an alliance?"

As if she felt that her words were ambiguous and like an attack on Tang's mother, Qin Ruqing took a breath and changed the topic, "Of course, I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with your mother choosing her own marriage. The main thing is that she has made her choice, and she should bear the consequences. "Qi Rong nodded heavily and said, "Brother Tang, although we can't

interfere in the affairs of our elders, it is your mother's marriage that has caused you so much trouble. If she hadn't regretted the marriage, maybe Tang Biao wouldn't have kicked you out of the house. You really shouldn't have been influenced by her." Lu Wei looked at Tang Zifeng sideways without saying anything. Lu

Wei understood a little about Qin Ruqing and Qi Rong's complete misunderstanding.

I understand why Tang Zifeng is hesitant.

Tang Zifeng slowly put his hand on his chest, frowning slightly, as if he also wanted to figure out the strange and awkward feeling in his heart.

"I know that I shouldn't be influenced by her. I also know that I don't owe the Tang family anything. Now that Tang Biao is in trouble, I should not have any nostalgia for the Tang family... But the patriarch once talked to me about the current situation of the Tang family. After Tang Biao was executed, the reputation of the Tang family plummeted. Although I won the first place in the weapon refining competition, my identity is special. I am not considered a member of the Tang family now. Although the family is a silver brand, the ancestors are old and have old friends. The situation is very bad, and the Lin family is also pressing forward step by step... If I just leave when the Tang family is in such a critical situation..."

Tang Zifeng pursed her lips: "Actually, when the clan leader talked to me that day, I wanted to refuse. But when the words came to my lips, the scene of my mother weakly holding my hand before her death and asking me to serve the family automatically appeared in my mind, tying me like a chain, and I couldn't get rid of it..."

After listening, Qin Ruqing and the others fell silent. Qin Ruqing felt very cold in his heart, and he had only one thought:

It's over, Xiao Tang has been controlled by his mother and this family.

In her previous life, there was a very popular topic called "getting rid of the influence of the original family." Many people are burdened by their original families in the first half of their lives, and they are always trapped in the shadow of their original families in the second half of their lives. They need to struggle to escape, or spend half their lives to heal.

People who don't understand think it's easy to escape from the original family. Since we know it's not good, can't we just leave?

However, the original family accompanies a person's entire period before the three views of personality are formed. It can be said that the formation of this person's personality is deeply influenced by the original family, and what the family has instilled in him has become a part of his personality and temperament.

As outsiders, Qin Ruqing and others all know that Xiao Tang should not be influenced by his mother. But as for Xiao Tang himself, he was basically taken care of by his mother before he was ten years old, and then he was brought up by that Tang Biao. If his mother had told him every day before the age of ten that she felt guilty about the family and that he should serve the family when he grew up, then when he grew up, what his mother had told him would be engraved in his mind like instinct.

No wonder he had suffered such a great injustice in the past. The only way he wanted to return to the family was to ask the Qin family to refine the corresponding elixir for the Tang family, hoping to use the benefits to exchange for the opportunity to return to the family.

His whole way of thinking was to embarrass himself and protect the family.

After Qin Ruqing figured it out, she began to analyze it to Tang Zifeng: "You are brainwashed now, don't you know? The words your mother said to you, the influence of the entire Tang family on you, are like a chain that locks you up! You must find a way to break free from this chain! Otherwise, do you really intend to work hard for the Tang family for the rest of your life with your mother's guilt?"

Tang Zifeng didn't say anything, and at this time, Lu Wei suddenly called out her sword and said softly:

"Brother Tang, do you see this sword? You know that I am a double cultivator of Dan and sword, right? Then do you know that my father actually doesn't allow me to practice sword?"

"Besides," Lu Wei covered her mouth and smiled, "Looking at the relationship between me and Xiaowu, can you imagine that our parents are not friendly to each other?"

Qin Ruqing also understood what her third sister wanted to say, and nodded quickly, "It's not just unfriendly. Before I had the right to discuss family affairs, his father quarreled with my father every day in the meeting hall. Then the fight between the two families also affected the entire group of people below, which had a very bad impact."

Lu Wei looked at Tang Zifeng and said seriously: "My father has never liked Xiaowu. Of course, he can't say that he doesn't like her. It's just that his feelings are very complicated. On the one hand, he thinks she is gifted. It's simply not something that someone like my uncle can give birth to. On the other hand, he often scolds me at home for not being as good as Xiaowu..."

Qin Ruqing blinked and couldn't help but interjected, "Wow, Third Sister, so that's how Second Uncle talks about you at home."

Lu Wei hummed and continued, "Look, if I listen to my father completely, I won't be able to practice swordsmanship at all. Even if I follow what he says and study elixirs all day, my alchemy skills won't be much better than they are now. The most important thing is that I won't be able to have such a good relationship with Xiaowu Qirong like I do now. Then I won't be able to come to Xiaofukong this time, I won't be able to see the scenery outside, my strength won't be greatly improved, let alone get the Heart of Earth Fire."

"I knew what was best for me, so I made up my mind to express my attitude to my father. Of course, when I first expressed my attitude, it was almost like severing the father-daughter relationship. He directly said that I was an unfilial daughter. Then, he gradually accepted this fact."

When she said this, Lu Wei smiled, "It was mainly because our Xiaowu was too strong at home, and my father had no choice but to accept it. After he acquiesced, our relationship returned to normal."

Lu Wei drew out her sword and easily made a sword flower under the moonlight. The sword light flashed in everyone's eyes, and was finally put back into the scabbard by Lu Wei.

"Just like a festering wound, the rotten flesh needs to be dug out. When digging out the flesh, it will inevitably be accompanied by pain. This is the only way for the wound to heal."

"Brother Tang, your mother and your family are the rotten flesh of this wound. You must make up your mind to dig it out, otherwise, these things may accompany you for the rest of your life."

Qin Ruqing patted Tang Zifeng's shoulder heavily: "Did you hear that, Xiao Tang? My third sister is the best example. Of course you can return to the family, but returning to the family and working for the family with a guilty compensation mentality are two different things. You have to distinguish them clearly~" "

We will rest for a day tomorrow and return to Nanling the day after tomorrow. You should think about it carefully during this day. Of course, no matter what the result is, you will always be our Xiao Tang!"

*

On the day when Qin Ruqing and his group left Nanling, several groups of people came to see them off.

The first was the Yang family. Qin Ruqing had just come to Xiling to cooperate with this family. Both sides had achieved a win-win situation and had a good relationship.

The Yang family had always hoped to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Qin family, so they were very attentive and said they would send a team to escort Qin Ruqing and his group back, but Qin Ruqing naturally refused.

The second group to send them off was the Xianpin Bureau. It was the green-robed steward who had dealt with Qin Ruqing before who came to send them off in person. The Xianpin Bureau had always kept a distance from the aristocratic families, and this time they sent someone to send them off, which was a great honor for the Qin family.

After the Xianpin Bureau left, Qin Ruqing and his group planned to set off. Tang Zifeng was also in their team. After that day's talk, he had not expressed his opinion, and Qin Ruqing had not urged him again. When they left today, he followed them automatically. Qin Ruqing made up his mind that if he remained silent, he could just pack up and take him away together!

Qi Rong remembered a question: "Sister, the Lin family you mentioned before has not shown up. Are they just letting us go?"

Qin Ruqing smiled, "Wouldn't it be better to just let us go? It would save me a lot of trouble, but..." She looked in a distant direction and squinted her eyes, "But, the temptation of the Xuanxin Liquid is too great. The Lin family has three foundations, and the only thing missing is an ancestor who has formed a pill. I think it won't be so easy to let go this time~"

A group of people stood on the sand dunes in the distance, among whom was a familiar young female cultivator in red. It was obviously the fairy Yijun who had dealt with Qin Ruqing in the small floating space before.

"Mom, they are leaving, why don't we take action?" Lin Yijun was a little anxious. In the small floating space, her strength was a little weak, and she couldn't snatch the Xuanxin Liquid, but now that they have left the small floating space, and now that the masters of the Lin family have gathered together, is she still afraid that she can't take down the three young men of the Qin family?

Lin Yan, who was standing at the front, glanced at her daughter, "You are always so impatient. If you were half as good as the young elder of the Qin family, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to get the Xuanxin Liquid."

Lin Yijun flicked his whip irritably, "Mom, why am I not good? You have raised your standards after seeing the little monster of the Qin family, right?"

The elder of the Lin family next to him ignored the quarrel between the mother and daughter, frowned and looked in the direction of the Qin family and said, "I didn't expect that the Xianpin Bureau really valued the Qin family so much and even sent a steward to see them off."

This is their Xiling Xianpin Bureau. I have never seen the Xianpin Bureau be so warm to any family in Xiling before.

Lin Yan's face also became serious after hearing this, and she whispered, "This matter is indeed difficult to handle."

"What's difficult about it? With mother and elders building the foundation, plus our formation, are we afraid that we can't take down the little monster alone?"

Lin Yan was about to say that this was not a question of whether or not we could take down Elder Qin. It was a question of how to end up offending the Qin family after taking him down.

Before she opened her lips, she suddenly felt a sharp gaze from the front. In the picture seen by her spiritual consciousness, the little monster of the Qin family looked in this direction accurately, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a smile.

Lin Yan was shocked. What a sharp spiritual perception! They were so far away, and they were very cautious even when looking at them, but they were discovered.

Then he said in a stern voice: "They are leaving. Follow me. No one should act rashly for a while, especially you!" Lin Yan glared at Lin Yijun.

The Lin family members flew over the sand dunes and soon came to Qin Ruqing.

"Elder Qin." Lin Yan took the initiative to greet him.

Qin Ruqing returned the greeting, and Qirong Lu Wei and Tang Zifeng met the head of the Lin family with the etiquette of the younger generation.

Qin Ruqing glanced at the people behind Lin Yan and said with a smile, "The Lin family is seeing us off so grandly, which makes us feel a little nervous."

Lin Yijun had someone to support him, and he became more confident, "Elder Qin, why are you pretending to be stupid? You stole the Xuanxin Liquid of my Lin family, and you still expect us to let you go easily!"

Lin Yan scolded, "Yijun!"

Qin Ruqing said, "Could it be that the Lin clan leader is not here to see us off, but to steal the Xuanxin Liquid?" As he spoke,

his eyes flashed with green, and they met Lin Yan's eyes fiercely. It seemed that an invisible wind was blowing, and the wind cage grass rolled forward a few times, leaving a string of traces on the sand, and then stopped.

Lin Yan's body and mind were shocked, and she couldn't help but take a step back. The faces of several Lin elders changed drastically, and they subconsciously surrounded Lin Yijun.

Lin Yan seemed to be yelling at Lin Yijun, but she was actually quietly examining Qin Ruqing with her spiritual sense, trying to find out her bottom line. But she couldn't see through Qin Ruqing's cultivation. She seemed to be surrounded by a layer of mist, and there was no ripples in her breath.

When she wanted to take a closer look, her eyes flashed green, and Lin Yan felt a pressure that shook her body and mind, and made her legs go weak, and she wanted to surrender and kowtow.

Lin Yan was worthy of being the patriarch of the clan. She just took a step back, quickly stabilized her body, and said with trembling lips: "What is Elder Qin's... cultivation?"

Why did she feel a pressure that was not weaker than the Jindan stage. But, how is it possible! Such a young Jindan? ! ! Even the reincarnation of a powerful person from a fairy family can't cultivate at this speed!

Qin Ruqing just smiled: "What is my cultivation level? Didn't the young lady from the noble family tell you?"

Lin Yijun was very confused. She was just protected by the elders and didn't feel what happened at all.

"Mom, she is only in the middle stage of foundation building. Of course, she can defeat the little thunder cloud beast in the late stage of foundation building, but there are so many of us, and we have the convenience of formations and spiritual weapons. No matter how powerful she is, she can't turn the tables!"

Lin Yan, who was standing at the front, hesitated for a while, and then she slapped Lin Yijun in the face, and shouted: "Shut up! We are here to see off the Qin family and Elder Qin, what are you saying? Why don't you apologize to Elder Qin!"

Lin Yijun covered her face and looked at her mother in shock. She was stunned.

But the elders behind her reacted quickly. They looked at each other, sighed in their hearts, and took the initiative to apologize to Qin Ruqing.

"The young generation is ignorant, please don't be offended, Elder Qin."

Qin Ruqing smiled and waved his hand casually, "So you are here to see us off. There were so many people just now, and I thought we were going to fight. I had a fight with the little thundercloud beast in the small floating air before, but it happened that I was not satisfied, and I was thinking of relaxing my muscles today. It's such a pity..."

Lin Yan pretended not to know about the previous confrontation and bowed as if the world was at peace: "Elder Qin has to cross the Broken Vein Mountain to return to Nanling. The Broken Vein Mountain is dangerous. Why don't we, the Lin family, send a team to escort you..."

"No need, thank you for your kindness, Patriarch Lin."

So, after a few more words, Qin Ruqing, Qirong, Lu Wei and others actually walked past the Lin family team in a swagger, and they did not stop them.

After the backs of Qin Ruqing and his group completely disappeared, Lin Yijun curled her lips and called out "mother" unwillingly.

Lin Yan sighed, stretched out her fingertips to touch her daughter's swollen face, and said: "I know you are confused. But the confrontation just now made me understand that even if we get the Xuanxin Liquid, our ancestor may not be able to form a pill, but that Elder Qin will definitely be able to form a pill within three years!"

"There are rumors that the Qin family has some relationship with the Xianpin family. We... really don't need to provoke such a powerful and terrifying enemy for ourselves!"

Lin Yijun's cheeks were already swollen, and the pain made her frightened and confused. The little monster of the Qin family can form a pill within three years?

How is this possible? How old is she? But mother never lied to her.

If that's the case, is it really worth it to provoke such a promising and terrifying enemy for a Xuanxin Liquid that can increase the chance of forming a pill?

*

In the distance, Qi Rong asked curiously: "Sister, what did you do just now? Why did they feel so scared in an instant?"

Qin Ruqing raised the corner of her mouth and said vaguely: "It's just a little trick to scare people."

In fact, it was the coercion skill on the hidden badge before.

There are two skills on the hidden badge, and Qin Ruqing has never used them. Today, I saw the Lin family coming in force, obviously coveting the Xuanxin Liquid but not making up their minds whether to take action.

They are waiting and watching.

That's perfect, I'll give you a good look and scare you!

As expected, when she used this coercive skill, the Lin family members looked like they had seen a ghost, and they probably frantically guessed in their hearts whether she had reached the Jindan stage.

How is that possible, Qin Ruqing thought.

Qirong said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, his sister had many tricks, and he was not afraid even if they really fought just now.

After walking forward for a while, Tang Zifeng suddenly stopped.

Qin Ruqing also stopped, turned around, and looked at Tang Zifeng as if she was not surprised at all.

Tang Zifeng pursed his lips, but still spoke: "I just won't go back to Nanling with you."

Qirong and Lu Wei looked at each other, and Qirong said, "Brother Tang, have you really decided?"

Lu Wei didn't say anything. In fact, she could understand. Some things cannot be given up just

like that. Even if you have to give them up, you have to look at the right time. Given the current situation of the Tang family, it is obviously not the time for Tang Zifeng to leave. Qin Ruqing actually saw it that night. Sometimes people hesitate not because they don't know the answer, on the contrary, they hesitate because they know the answer.

But she still couldn't help but curl her lips, and she looked visibly annoyed.

Tang Zifeng seemed a little afraid to look Qin Ruqing in the eye. He lowered his eyes, took out a storage bag, and stuffed it into Qin Ruqing's hand.

"Inside is the Meteorite Explosion Ball, which I have already refined in the Earth Fire Pool. Now I'm giving it to you... You, the Qin family, can let anyone use it and use it however you want. I've also marked the precautions and rules of use for you."

Qin Ruqing snorted heavily, "You're taking such a valuable thing as a farewell gift?"

That was a spiritual weapon that could explode a Jindan stage cultivator, and he just gave it to her like that. Tang Zifeng wasn't afraid that the Tang family would get angry with him.

Tang Zifeng was still hesitant, ignoring Qin Ruqing's sarcasm, and continued: "Your spiritual weapon blueprint has been designed, but the things you use must be the best. I plan to wait until I build my foundation before officially refining it. In this way, the upper limit of this spiritual weapon will be higher. After I refine it, I will send it to you."

Without looking at Qin Ruqing, he took out two purses and said, "This is for Qi Rong and Lu Wei's things."

He handed out the things like candy, then stood still, looked at Qin Ruqing and the other two in turn, and said seriously: "I'm very happy to meet you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Ruqing suddenly sighed heavily, then put her hands on her hips and interrupted him, "Tang Zifeng, this is a farewell, not a farewell to death! Please don't create this atmosphere!" Tang Zifeng

choked, his eyelashes fluttered, and looked at Qin Ruqing blankly.

Qin Ruqing sighed again, walked forward, and hugged him heavily.

She hugged him, put her cheek against his beating heart, and then said loudly, passionately, sincerely, and loudly:

"It was you who wanted to stay in Xiling, you foolish and straightforward person, don't let yourself get burned by the sun in the future!"

"Remember what I told you, don't work for someone like Tang Chen, either run away immediately, or turn things around and become your own boss... um, I'm talking about the clan leader."

"Finally, there is the airship cooperation project between you and the Xianpin Bureau. Remember, if you want to get close to Grandmaster Minghua, and the artifact drawings mentioned in the previous weapon refining competition, I have a hunch that this is your future opportunity."

Qin Ruqing let go of him and said finally, "You have to learn to take advantage of the Xianpin Bureau like I did, okay?"

When Qin Ruqing came up to hug him softly, for a moment, Tang Zifeng's eyes became hot and he had the urge to cry.

The time was long and short. When Tang Zifeng reacted, she let go again.

Qin Ruqing stared at him, Tang Zifeng pursed his lips and hummed heavily.

Lu Wei suddenly burst out laughing and walked over to hug Tang Zifeng, "Brother Tang, remember what I told you about wounds and rotten flesh. We are all waiting for your wounds to heal~"

After Lu Wei hugged him, it was Qi Rong's turn. He was strong and not only hugged him, but also patted Tang Zifeng on the back twice, "Brother Tang, if you miss us, use the communication stone to chat with us."

When they hugged, Qin Ruqing had already taken out their next means of transportation. Desert skateboards, which were sent by the Yang family.

"Okay, stop hugging, it's time to go!" Qin Ruqing hated sad farewells the most. Besides, what's a farewell to Xiao Tang? After he has fleeced the Xianpin Bureau, she will drag him back to Nanling.

The three of them got on the desert skateboard and pulled the control rope. Qin Ruqing turned her head and said, "Tang Zifeng, the mountains are high and the road is long, there is no need to see you off. Don't cry quietly, remember to take advantage of the Xianpin Bureau. We are leaving!"

As he said this, he slid forward very coolly, but because of his difficulty in driving a vehicle, the skateboard twisted wildly and it took a long time to stabilize.

Qin Ruqing was not embarrassed, her red skirt swayed, and she waved her hands backwards.

Tang Zifeng stood there for a long time, until the backs of the three people completely disappeared, and then he turned around slowly.

He held back his tears.

He walked forward a little with a wooden head, and suddenly felt the violent shaking of the communication stone. Tang Zifeng's eyes widened and he took it out quickly.

A familiar clear voice came from the communication stone:

"Frog, Tang Zifeng, what a mistake! You were so focused on showing off on your skateboard that you forgot that we don't know the way in the desert. You, you should come and take us to the canyon!"

Tang Zifeng: "..."
