As she turned around, Qin Xue stood there, stunned.
There seemed to be some fear in the way she looked at Qin Xin.
The shockwaves emanating from the valley after the explosion were also sensed by Qin Xue, who had traveled a considerable distance.
She was somewhat worried that Qin Xin had gone to the restroom but hadn't caught up with her for a long time.
Upon arriving at the valley, she found the surrounding area devastated and saw a streak of blood-red light carrying a figure as it sped away.
Worried about Qin Xin's safety, Qin Xue reluctantly entered the valley.
But as soon as she entered, she saw Qin Xin use that strange golden flame to burn Jia Yan to death. Moreover, the unfamiliar aura emanating from Qin Xin made her feel a little afraid.
"No...no..." Qin Xue stammered, startled, as Qin Xin turned to look at her.
Seeing her like this, Qin Xin smiled slightly on his pale face. "Sister Xue, let's go!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Qin Xue calmed down, but she didn't dare to approach and instead followed behind Qin Xin.
The two remained silent throughout the journey, with Qin Xin simultaneously replenishing his depleted internal energy.
Half a day later, Qin Xue seemed to confirm that the current Qin Xin was indeed him before she asked, "Qin Xin, what happened to you?"
"Sister Xue must be wondering why I have golden flames!" Qin Xin followed up.
Qin Xue nodded directly.
Qin Xin smiled calmly and said, "Martial artists always have some secrets, just like Sister Xue's inheritance. However, I hope Sister Xue will keep it a secret for me."
Seeing Qin Xin's winking and gesturing, Qin Xue finally smiled a little more. She didn't press him about his secrets, after all, she herself had many secrets, which were life-saving trump cards for martial artists.
The two traveled smoothly for the rest of the journey, and also hunted down some monsters.
Qin Xin also devoured the souls of these demonic beasts using the Spirit Devouring Stone, attempting to advance his Martial Spirit.
However, ever since Qin Xin's martial spirit reached the sixth star, it seems that further advancement has become even more difficult, and even the help that the soul power of a fourth-level demon beast can provide is negligible.
As they drew closer to Tianyuan City, Qin Xin's internal energy had almost fully recovered. However, the energy ripples from the explosion after unleashing the Fire Blade Fusion had caused him considerable internal injuries. To fully recover, in addition to the treatment with healing pills, he would need to rest quietly for some time.
Due to delays on the road, four days had passed by the time they arrived at the gates of Tianyuan City.
Looking at this somewhat familiar city, Qin Xin felt a sense of emotion. In his eyes, this city was once incredibly vast with towering walls, but now it looked different. The city seemed to have become a little smaller, perhaps because he had gained more experience as he grew up.
As soon as Qin Xin stepped into Tianyuan City, he saw the Qin clan's guards there.
As the guards prepared to step forward to intercept and verify her identity, Qin Xue took out a token from her clan. Upon seeing the token, the guards quickly knelt down to greet her.
However, Qin Xin simply waved his hand and hurriedly told the others to get up. He was a little uncomfortable with this scene, because after the guards knelt down, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Xin.
After all, the Qin clan has become the number one family in Tianyuan City. Some members of the Qin clan and their guards have become increasingly arrogant and domineering in the city. Now that they are kneeling in front of Qin Xin, a young man, their identity has aroused a lot of speculation.
The head of the guards originally intended to send guards to escort Qin Xin and Qin Xue back to the Qin Clan Manor, but Qin Xin refused. Tianyuan City has changed a lot, and he also wanted to see it.
After seeing Qin Xin and Qin Xue leave, the head of the guards hurriedly sent his men back to the Qin Clan Manor to report.
They all knew Qin Xin, for it was he who destroyed the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group that had been entrenched in Tianyuan City for many years. The prosperity of the Qin Clan in Tianyuan City today is inseparable from Qin Xin.
Qin Xin, as the person involved, wandered through the market of Tianyuan City with Qin Xue and naturally discovered its prosperity. In the largest market of Tianyuan City, Qin Xin also saw many Qin clan guards, but these people did not seem to recognize Qin Xin.
Qin Xin did not reveal his identity in order to keep quiet.
After wandering around for a while, Qin Xin gained a considerable understanding of Tianyuan City.
After the Qin clan became the number one family in Tianyuan City, it did not monopolize all the markets and industries. Instead, it only occupied one market that was once owned by the Iron Blood Mercenary Group, leaving the other markets to other families.
Today, Wanbaoge occupies a much larger area in Tianyuan City, and several new pavilions have been built.
Just as Qin Xin was about to leave Wanbaoge and return to Qin Clan Manor, a noisy commotion reached his ears.
"Hey girl! Hand over the pills you bought at Wanbaoge, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" A threatening voice was followed by bursts of lewd laughter.
Qin Xin also glanced at him curiously. The man who spoke was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was wearing the uniform of the Qin clan, which made Qin Xin a little curious.
In front of the man stood a woman whose face was full of anger; she looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
However, just as Qin Xin was observing the woman, Dan Qing's voice appeared in his mind, making Qin Xin unable to help but take a few more glances.
"Qin Bao! Your Qin clan is the number one family in Tianyuan City, but you openly robbed people at the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion. Aren't you afraid of Wanbao Pavilion's wrath?" the woman angrily rebuked.
"Hahaha! In this Tianyuan City, no one dares to do anything to me! Even the Wanbao Pavilion, so what? Do you think they dare to come out now!" The young man named Qin Bao laughed arrogantly.
The surrounding martial artists, seeing Qin Bao's appearance, dared not speak out in anger, for they were all afraid of the Qin clan behind Qin Bao.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, a loud slap echoed around them.
The one who made the move was Qin Xue. She had long been unable to tolerate Qin Bao's arrogant behavior. If Qin Xin hadn't stopped her, she probably would have made her move the moment Qin Bao stopped the woman.
Qin Bao, who had just been slapped, was filled with rage. He had never suffered such humiliation before. He immediately ordered his men to surround Qin Xin and Qin Xin.
"Do you know who I am!" Qin Xue said angrily, looking at the arrogant Qin Bao.
Qin Xin stepped forward to stop Qin Xue from saying what she was about to say. He also wanted to take this opportunity to see if the Qin clan would become as domineering and tyrannical as the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group of the past.
