Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 352 - 335: To the Ancient Country

Qin Qing’s brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a flicker of color in his gaze.

He too was utterly disappointed with the Qian Country!

As the ruler of a nation, Qin Sheng was not a man of his word, petty and despicable. Qin Qing had crushed the Northern Yuan army in the Northern Borderlands, a feat worthy of immense merit. Yet, instead of pardoning his father, Qin Sheng further slandered Qin Qing, accusing him of fraternizing with prisoners and plotting a jailbreak!

This twisting of truth and failure to discern right from wrong was inconceivable for a monarch!

Moreover, the Prince of Zhennan, Zhao Tianyin, who had defended the Northern Pass for over thirty years with outstanding contributions, ended up under house arrest in Luochuan. If it were not for Zhao’s extensive connections and the powerful Jinyin Army at his back, Qin Sheng would have likely ordered his execution directly.

And then... Just as General Li Hetai said, those princes and princesses behaved with callous regard for human life, sinister and vile—absolutely unbecoming of the Royal Family.

So-called imperial coldness is due to the high office, where many things demand impassive cruelty, not swayed by personal feelings in the handling and judgment of facts.

And not, as they were, duplicitous, reneging on one’s word, and stopping at nothing for one’s own selfish gain.

"Indeed..."

Qin Qing sighed deeply, "The Qian Country is rotten to the core!"

Li Hetai nodded, looking expectantly at Qin Qing, "So? General Qin, if you join us now in my West Gate army, I’ll immediately appoint you as the chief military advisor and also the Second Commander. I believe with you on board, we can strike directly at the imperial city..."

But Qin Qing shook his head:

"General Li, I appreciate your kind invitation. But for me personally, it’s not yet the time!"

Qin Qing’s mind raced with numerous considerations.

Even though the Qian Country was now hopelessly corrupt, overthrowing the current Royal Family was by no means an easy task.

In Luochuan, Qin Qing had witnessed the might of the Royal Family. Whether it be Nascent Soul Realm experts or those in the Golden Core Realm, their numbers were incomparable to the Northern Pass army.

As for the West Gate army, it’s likely to be even weaker than the Northern Pass army.

Despite these armies having millions of elite troops, in the end, the outcome of the conflict would certainly be decided by top-tier powerhouses.

Although Nascent Soul Realm Martial Dao Masters generally refrained from involving themselves in mundane wars, if the safety of the Great Qian imperial power were at stake, these ancient Martial Dao masters of the Nascent Soul Realm would undoubtedly step forward without hesitation.

And these venerable Martial Dao masters were the true reliance of the imperial Qin Family!

As for Qin Qing, his current Cultivation couldn’t protect himself in Qian Country, let alone defeating a power at the Golden Core Late Stage or Perfection.

Once facing a Nascent Soul Realm Martial Dao master, he would be completely powerless to fight back.

Thus, Qin Qing’s own strength was also a significant issue...

Furthermore, there was another factor—his sister Qin Shuang.

Now, his only immediate goal was one: to completely cure the Fire Disease plaguing his sister. If he could see her recover completely, who held the imperial power in the world mattered not to him.

Nothing was more important than his sister!

"I apologize! General Li, I have other matters to attend to..." Qin Qing said.

Li Hetai, hearing Qin Qing say this, looked regretful, clearly wishing to recruit Qin Qing into his forces.

Perhaps having heard of Qin Qing’s heroic deeds at the Northern Pass from Zhao Tianyin, he greatly desired Qin Qing to become the military advisor of the West Gate army.

Unfortunately, Qin Qing had no intention of joining.

"In that case... I can only express my regret!" said Li Hetai.

Then, he added, "General Qin, if one day you change your mind, be sure to come to me first. The camp of my West Gate army will always open its gate wide for you, General Qin!"

"Sure! I will!" Qin Qing responded with a clasped fist.

Afterward, Li Hetai escorted Hou Yuan and Fang Mengyu back to the camp.

Qin Qing went back to Ping’an Town with Qin Tong, Qin Yue, and a few others.

Back in Ping’an Town, Liu Hongxue approached Qin Qing as soon as she saw him.

"Qin Qing, now that you’ve settled things here, it’s time for me to leave..." Liu Hongxue said.

"Leave?" Qin Qing was taken aback at first but then nodded in understanding.

Indeed, Liu Hongxue wasn’t a member of the Qin Residence. She was a person in charge of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion and came from a noble family of an Ancient Country. She certainly had her own affairs to handle.

During this time, Liu Hongxue had been helping Qin Qing.

This made Qin Qing feel quite guilty, as he owed her a great debt of gratitude.

"Miss Hongxue, I really don’t know how I’ll ever be able to repay the debt I owe you..." said Qin Qing.

Liu Hongxue smiled, her beauty blossoming, "Don’t know how to repay? Perhaps with your body?"

"Uh..."

Hearing such banter from a woman of unsurpassed beauty, Qin Qing couldn’t help but exhibit an awkward expression, yet he couldn’t deny that Liu Hongxue was the dream of nearly ninety percent of the men on Tian Nian Star.

"Haha!" Liu Hongxue laughed even more heartily upon seeing Qin Qing’s embarrassed state, then shook her head, "Alright, Qin Master, I’ll stop teasing you. You have your Jiang Sister, I won’t interfere... But speaking of which, if you didn’t have Sister Jiang, then your Sister Hongxue here might really not have let you off so easily!"

Qin Qing smiled faintly, responding, "I believe that with your excellence, Miss Hongxue, admirers must be countless. I’m also quite curious who will be fortunate enough to be with you in the future, and what kind of genius will be worthy of my Sister Hongxue!"
