36: Chapter 36 Serving a Ruler is Like Serving a Tiger

"It's your turn..."

Lu Huading turned his head to look at Liu Han.

Liu Han adjusted the mask on his face.

Lu Huading's pupils shrank abruptly.

A rusted, mottled kitchen knife sliced raw through Lu Huading's arm.

At the same time, a glaring bloodstain appeared.

【Iron Body】

Lu Huading's entire body quickly began to turn into iron, and the bleeding wound also solidified rapidly.

"Uncle Lu!"

Huo Wushuang said hurriedly: "He has an undying body."

Lu Huading frowned, his gaze fixed firmly on the smiling Qin Xiaogan: "Undying body?"

Qin Xiaogan wiped the dripping kitchen knife: "Let Wu Yishui go, and I won't kill you."

Lu Huading snorted coldly: "Not kill me? What a joke!"

"Do you think that just because you are holding that knife, you can pose a threat to me?"

Qin Xiaogan shrugged: "You can try."

Lu Huading narrowed his eyes.

Just as both sides were on the verge of conflict.

Huo Wushuang sighed: "Uncle Lu, let them go."

Lu Huading said in surprise: "Young Master!"

Huo Wushuang took a deep breath: "I said, let them go!"

"Yes."

Lu Huading pressed his lips together, then slowly moved aside.

"Old Lu, you have to listen to the Young Master."

Liu Han glanced at Lu Huading provocatively.

Qin Xiaogan flashed and appeared in front of Wu Yishui.

Looking at the fairy-like woman in front of him, Qin Xiaogan asked: "Sister Wu?"

Wu Yishui nodded gently, like a willow swaying in the wind.

Immediately after, the shackles on Wu Yishui were severed by mental power in the blink of an eye.

Since Qin Xiaogan appeared, Wu Yishui's gaze had not shifted away.

"Is it really you? Young Marquis."

Qin Xiaogan smiled: "Authentic and genuine."

"Qiu Sanye has told me everything you've done; thank you for your hard work."

Wu Yishui's eyes gradually turned red, then she quickly knelt on one knee and said: "It is all what your subordinate should do."

Qin Xiaogan helped Wu Yishui up: "From today on, you shall be the Inspector of the Four Kings Pavilion."

"Inspect the Four Kings, execute immediately."

Wu Yishui said respectfully: "Yes!"

Liu Han's expression changed drastically, and he glanced obscurely at Wu Yishui.

Damn it!

I still haven't been promoted, and now there's another woman who can ride on my head and crap on me.

Qin Xiaogan turned his head to look at the gloomy-faced Huo Wushuang.

Following that, Qin Xiaogan walked slowly towards him.

Lu Huading flashed to block in front of Huo Wushuang.

"Uncle Lu, step aside."

Lu Huading stared coldly at Qin Xiaogan: "Don't play any tricks."

After saying this, Lu Huading moved aside.

Qin Xiaogan smiled: "Regarding the events of that year, your Huo Family helped my Qin Family, so I won't kill you."

"However, I don't wish for there to be a next time."

"Because my patience has never been good."

Lu Huading's face was as gloomy as water, and just as he was about to make a move.

His hand was tightly gripped by Huo Wushuang.

Looking at Huo Wushuang's arm, which was trembling slightly with rage, Lu Huading whispered: "Young Master?"

Qin Xiaogan looked at the two and smiled faintly: "Farewell."

After saying this, he signaled for Liu Han and the others to leave.

Beside them, Huo Wushuang's face was flushed red, staring intensely at Qin Xiaogan's back.

Lu Huading asked in confusion: "Young Master, why didn't you let me attack? He is only an A-rank Awakened."

Huo Wushuang replied: "Do you know who he is?"

Lu Huading pondered for a moment, then said in astonishment: "The Young Marquis of the Qin Family?! No way, didn't he die?"

Huo Wushuang smiled bitterly: "I only just found out too."

A sharp glint flashed in the depths of Lu Huading's eyes: "Young Master, this is a remnant of the Emperor Qin, if we capture him..."

Huo Wushuang sneered: "Capture him?"

"If I hadn't stopped you just now, you would already be dead!"

Lu Huading looked disbelieving: "Young Master, you haven't reached S-rank, so you don't understand how big the gap is between S-rank and A-rank."

Huo Wushuang responded: "I don't need to know; I just need to understand that there is a huge gap between you and Elder Qiu, and that's enough."

The expression on Lu Huading's face froze instantly.

"Young Master, what does the gap between me and Elder Qiu have to do with Qin Xiaogan?"

Lu Huading joked: "Could it be that Qin Xiaogan can defeat Elder Qiu?"

Huo Wushuang picked up the halberd on the ground and said slowly: "Not defeat, but kill—kill him until his soul is scattered."

"..."

Lu Huading was silent for a long while, then doubted: "When did the Young Master learn to joke?"

Huo Wushuang shook his head: "I never joke. The news of Elder Qiu's death was sent to me by the Investigation Bureau."

Lu Huading's brows knit tightly.

Huo Wushuang said slowly: "You also know that Elder Qiu is proficient in soul arts. To kill him, without strength above the Marquis level, it would likely be difficult to achieve."

Lu Huading said in horror: "Young Master, are you saying... there is a Marquis-level powerhouse beside Qin Xiaogan?!"

Huo Wushuang's eyes flashed: "I'm not sure either. I will notify my father as soon as possible."

"Wu Yishui must not be harmed!"

Lu Huading's mouth twitched.

After all that, it's still for a woman.

However, this remnant of the Qin Family, hidden for seven years, has caused a storm upon reappearing. If he doesn't die, in the future, I fear...

Southern District. Teppanyaki Mutton Soup Restaurant.

Wu Yishui's red lips trembled slightly: "Young Marquis, I have searched for you for seven years. I thought you had already..."

Qin Xiaogan waved his hand: "It's all in the past."

Following that, Qin Xiaogan said to Liu Han, who was bowing his head nearby: "Take Inspector Wu back to the Pavilion."

"Understood!"

Wu Yishui suddenly said: "Young Marquis, I will definitely help the Qin Family take revenge!"

Qin Xiaogan stared at her expressionlessly.

Under Qin Xiaogan's direct and intense gaze, Wu Yishui's heart suddenly tightened.

Qin Xiaogan spoke slowly: "Don't do anything unnecessary. You do what I tell you to do, okay?"

On Wu Yishui's exquisite face, a drop of sweat slid down quietly.

"O-okay, Young Marquis."

Qin Xiaogan stroked Wu Yishui's beautiful hair and said gently: "Very good."

Just as his voice fell, a sound of spatial friction emanated from around Qin Xiaogan.

Very quickly, Qin Xiaogan vanished instantly from in front of the two.

Seeing this scene, Wu Yishui and Liu Han couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Han teased: "Beauty, walking with a king is like walking with a tiger; when you speak, use your brain more."

Wu Yishui was silent for a moment: "He wasn't like this before."

"Besides, what is wrong with me saying I want to help the Qin Family take revenge?"

Liu Han looked at the stubborn Wu Yishui and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

"Listen, beauty, it's useless to be stubborn with me."

"You are right to help the Qin Family, but if you act on impulse and ruin Emperor Qin's plans, you will..."

Wu Yishui frowned: "Will what?"

Liu Han made a bitter face: "Don't ask anymore, my lady."

"Let's go, let's go, hurry back to the Four Kings Pavilion. Sister Yi will definitely explain the rules of our pavilion to you in detail."

Wu Yishui nodded, her heart feeling mixed emotions.

Qin Xiaogan's changes were too fast.

It seems that the passing of Uncle Qin has dealt him a great blow.

Suddenly, a feeling of pity welled up in Wu Yishui's heart.

A 16-year-old child, wandering outside for seven years—it has truly been hard on him.
