101: Chapter 101 Xu Hongshang

Early the next morning.

Qin Xiao's Clone also arrived, and after swapping places with his true self, the Clone took Xu Yunxi to the Great Wei Capital.

His true self, however, returned to the Qin Family. Before having absolute certainty, Qin Xiao's true self would not set foot in the Great Wei Capital. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall.

Although he was meticulous in his dealings, accidents could happen in any situation, so it was better to be cautious.

...

“Husband, you’re back!”

When Qin Xiao returned to the Qin Family's backyard, his wives and concubines immediately surrounded him with joyful expressions.

For the past few months, he had spent most of his time in Ji Province City, only returning a few times occasionally, and never staying long.

“Yes! I’m back!”

Qin Xiao embraced Ye Suxin and Nalan Feiyin, kissing them both on the cheek as he spoke.

“Was your trip smooth, Husband? Nothing happened, did it?”

Ye Suxin asked softly, concerned.

Qin Xiao said softly, “Nothing happened. Most of the work is done. I should be able to stay home for a while now.”

“Really?”

Nalan Feiyin immediately asked happily upon hearing this.

“Yes!”

Qin Xiao nodded.

...

On the other side, the Clone also arrived at Zhenwu Academy with Xu Yunxi.

“Yunxi, we’re at Zhenwu Academy. Do you have a way to notify your sister and brother?”

Qin Xiao brought Xu Yunxi to the entrance of Zhenwu Academy and asked softly.

“Yes, I’ve already notified my sister. She’ll be here shortly.”

Xu Yunxi nodded and said.

“Alright, then let’s wait a bit longer!”

After waiting for a while longer, a woman in a red dress with an exceptionally curvaceous figure appeared before them.

The woman's breasts were exceptionally full, swaying with her movements, as if they might burst out of her clothes at any moment.

A head of raven hair cascaded over her fair shoulders, revealing delicate collarbones and snow-white skin, her slender waist swaying as she walked.

Below, the dress accentuated her round, perky buttocks, and her long legs were slender and tall.

The woman was 1.75 meters tall, with long limbs, a hot and sexy, graceful figure, and fiery red lips, making it impossible to look away once seen.

“Big Sister!”

Seeing the woman appear, Xu Yunxi immediately rushed forward and threw herself into her arms.

“Little Sister, why are you here?”

The woman stroked Xu Yunxi’s head and asked softly.

“Mother told me to come! Where are Brother and Second Sister?”

Xu Yunxi looked around, not seeing Xu Buling or Xu Mengyao, so she asked.

The woman in red said softly, “Buling and Mengyao went out on a mission and aren’t in the Academy, so I came alone to pick you up!”

“Oh! Come, Big Sister, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Dong. If it weren’t for Young Master Dong, you probably wouldn’t have seen me, your little sister.”

Xu Yunxi took the woman in red’s hand and led her to Qin Xiao, introducing him.

“Young Master Dong, this is my Big Sister, Xu Hongshang. I told you about her.”

Then she turned to Qin Xiao and introduced Xu Hongshang.

“What happened? Did you encounter danger on the way? Didn’t Mother send someone to escort you?”

Xu Hongshang frowned upon hearing this and asked, puzzled.

“Mother asked Grandpa Yun to escort me. We encountered danger on the way, and Grandpa Yun was killed protecting me. At the critical moment, if Young Master Dong hadn’t intervened…”

At this point, Xu Yunxi’s voice became a little low, as if remembering the deceased Grandpa Yun.

“What?”

Xu Hongshang was shocked to hear that Grandpa Yun had been killed. Grandpa Yun was a Martial Artist in the Late Stage of the Magic Power Realm; for him to be killed, how strong must his killer be?

Thinking of this, Xu Hongshang looked at Qin Xiao with disbelief. How powerful must this young man in front of her be to defeat and kill the Martial Artist who killed Grandpa Yun?

Could he have already reached the Yin Yang Realm?

“Thank you, Young Master Dong, for saving my little sister!”

Xu Hongshang bowed to Qin Xiao, expressing her gratitude.

“Please don’t be so polite, Miss Hongshang. I merely happened to save Yunxi; it was just a small effort.”

Qin Xiao waved his hand, speaking politely.

“To Young Master Dong, it might be a small effort, but to my sister, it was a life-saving grace.”

Xu Hongshang said again.

Xu Hongshang looked around, “This is not the place to talk. Young Master Dong, please follow me. Hongshang will treat you well to show my gratitude!”

Then, Xu Hongshang led the two to a luxurious restaurant and entered a private room.

Soon, a large table of food and wine was served, and the three ate and chatted.

“Where is Young Master Dong from?”

Xu Hongshang was very curious about Qin Xiao’s origins, so she asked.

“Dongyang Kingdom. Has Miss Hongshang ever heard of it?”

Qin Xiao smiled and said. This Xu Hongshang was not simple; she was already probing his background. Fortunately, he was prepared.

Dongyang Kingdom was a small country in the northwest of the Hundred Kingdoms Territory, with a population of only tens of millions, poor and backward, on the brink of survival. Could she really go there to investigate him?

“I’ve heard of it. It’s said to be a small country in the northwest. I never expected such a figure as Young Master Dong to emerge from it!”

Xu Hongshang sighed, saying that such small countries barely had any Innate Realm Martial Artists, and now a Dong Zhuo of unfathomable strength had appeared, which was truly rare.

Although Xu Hongshang was very curious, she did not press further. If the other party was unwilling to say more, asking further would only make her unwelcome.

“The Hundred Kingdoms Territory is full of hidden talents and mysteries everywhere. Even remote small countries have their unique aspects, and their strength should not be underestimated. It wouldn’t be strange for a Return to One Realm expert to appear.”

Qin Xiao smiled and spoke nonsense.

“Oh! In that case, Young Master Dong, could you tell me what makes these small countries special? Hongshang is a bit curious about these things!”

Xu Hongshang said with some surprise upon hearing Qin Xiao’s words, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Even Xu Yunxi on the side looked over with curious eyes.

“Since Miss Hongshang wants to know, I’ll briefly explain!”

Qin Xiao put down his wine glass, straightened his body, and said.

His Clone had traveled through most of the Hundred Kingdoms Territory and had a good understanding of the customs and habits of the various large and small countries there.

Especially for those small countries, many secrets could not withstand his deliberate investigation, so he had learned many hidden facts.

“First, let’s talk about my Dongyang Kingdom. Its ruler is named Dongyang Zheng. His Family has an Old Ancestor in the Middle Stage of the Magic Power Realm, who is the Family’s pillar of strength. Besides him, there are two other hidden Magic Power Realm Martial Artists.”
