Chapter 378 Decision

Qin Shu sat quietly in front of the carved table. The cup of fragrant tea that had long since cooled in her hands was like her mood at the moment, calm but full of deep worry.

Her eyes were focused on Qin Qixuan. Her eyes, which had experienced countless storms but were still as clear as water, were now filled with worry and helplessness for her son. Qin Qixuan's face was

also a bit heavy. He knew the worries in his mother's heart, and he was even more aware of the predicament he was facing. He took a deep breath and tried to calm the turmoil in his heart.

Qin Shu had a complicated look on her face, as if she was conflicted, but she also knew that Qin Qixuan needed external help to figure things out, so in the end she still said what she was thinking.

"Qixuan, mother knows what you are worried about. The power of Jinnan Palace is huge. If we really break up with them, the future will be very difficult. But what mother is more worried about is your choice. If we really offend Jinnan Palace, even if you rescue Yan Ya, your future will not be easy."

"The matter between you and Zhao Shuoer... mother doesn't know how to solve it, so you can only rely on you to deal with it. But you must remember, when you reject Zhao Shuoer, don't really force her, at least persuade her to let go in a good way."

Qin Qixuan raised his head and looked at Qin Shu. He understood the meaning of his mother's words, and he understood the persistence in his heart even more. He took a deep breath and said firmly.

"Mother, I must be worthy of Yan Ya. She is my fiancée, the person I promised to spend my life with. As for Zhao Shuo'er... She has indeed helped me a lot, but feelings can't be forced. I will do my best to make up for her, but..."

Qin Qixuan's words were not finished, but his determination was clear. His voice gradually became lower, and his eyes looked through the window lattice at the hazy moonlight in the distance, as if looking for the answer in it.

Qin Shu sighed softly. She knew her son and his dilemma. She spoke slowly, trying to show him a way.

"Qixuan, mother knows your dilemma. But you have to understand that there is often no absolute right or wrong in this world, only choices to be made. Mother doesn't mind you... marrying both of them home to give her peace of mind. But if you marry Zhao Shuo'er, Yan Ya will definitely suffer. Yan Ya is not only your fiancée, but also your future partner. The fate between you has long been destined."

"Our family has already made Yan Ya suffer a lot, and we can't let the Wen family down."

Qin Qixuan understood what Qin Shu meant. He took a deep breath and felt a lot calmer.

"Mother, I understand what you mean. I will handle the relationship with Zhao Shuo'er and prevent her from getting hurt further. At the same time, I will bring Yan Ya back as soon as possible. Our marriage can't be delayed any longer."

Qin Shu nodded with satisfaction. She knew that her son had made a decision. She stood up, walked to Qin Qixuan's side, and patted his shoulder gently.

"Qixuan, mother believes that you can handle this matter. However, you must remember that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must remain calm and rational. The power of the Jinnan Palace is huge, and we can't offend them easily. But at the same time, we must protect ourselves and our families."

Qin Qixuan nodded in agreement. He knew that every word of his mother's words made sense. He stood up and prepared to pack up and go to the banquet. He knew that tonight's banquet would be the prelude to a storm, and he had to be fully prepared.

However, tonight's banquet would not be smooth sailing, and there might even be armed conflicts. He had to at least ensure that he and Wen Yanya were safe, so Qin Qixuan pondered for a while and came up with a new idea.

"Mother, I want to use the power of the martial arts world. Xiao Si knows the most people in the martial arts world now... Previously, Lao Er's men helped us explore the way to Jinnan Palace. Although they are very capable, it is inevitable that their future will be hindered. If we can borrow some people from the martial arts world from Xiao Si, they don't have so many concerns and it's easier to start, and maybe we can get more opportunities for us."

Qin Shu was slightly startled, and then nodded in agreement. She felt that Qin Qixuan was right. Although they wanted to save Wen Yanya, they could not do so at the cost of someone else's future.

"Don't worry, I'll discuss it with Xiao Si later. He will definitely help."

After saying this, everyone fell into a brief silence, and Qin Qixuan went out to make preparations.

Qin Shu pursed her lips and looked at Pei Xuanyi who had been silent.

Pei Xuanyi had just said that he and Xiao Xixi would also go to the banquet at Jinnan Palace tonight...

Although Qin Shu didn't want to trouble Pei Xuanyi and let the bond between Xixi and him become deeper and deeper, it seemed that only Pei Xuanyi could help them now.

Pei Xuanyi also noticed that Qin Shu was looking at him, and immediately understood what Qin Shu was thinking.

He did not let Qin Shu say it herself, but made a clear promise.

"Don't worry, Master Qin, I will take good care of Brother Qixuan and Miss Wen at this banquet."

Qin Shu nodded, and her heart was full of gratitude to Pei Xuanyi. She knew that with Pei Xuanyi's care, although Qin Qixuan might not be able to save Wen Yanya, at least, the Jinnan Palace would not do anything to them so blatantly.

In any case, this is the only thing they can do now.

Qin Qixuan went out, not knowing what preparations to make in advance, but after a little thought, he had a plan in mind.

Since Zhao Shuo'er just sent a maid to Qin's house to find him, it means that Zhao Shuo'er may not know that Zhao Zemo has taken Wen Yanya back again.

The person sent out to gather intelligence has not yet replied, and it is probably not easy to get any news.

Now the situation of the banquet is still unclear. If Qin Qixuan wants to be able to prepare in advance for the banquet tonight...

He decided to make the next risky move - to find Zhao Shuo'er in person.

Even if he can't get any help, he must get some information out of Zhao Shuo'er!

Although it is very dangerous, Qin Qixuan still did it for Wen Yanya.

However, he did not call Pei Xuanyi and Qin Xixi, but asked them to wait until the banquet started. He wanted to go alone to talk to Zhao Shuoer.

The door of Qin's house slowly opened, and a slender figure quietly stepped out. It was Qin Qixuan.

His steps were firm and steady, and his face was a little solemn.

He knew that tonight's banquet would be a war without gunpowder, and he had to be fully prepared for Wen Yanya.
