Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 481 - 449 Bringing News

Qin Yi sighed and shook his head, "No, your mother won’t be in trouble. She was rescued by someone..."

"My mother was rescued? Then why didn’t they rescue you, Father, as well?" Qin Qing asked.

"Because... they absolutely believe your father doesn’t deserve to be! In fact, your mother, when she married me, nobody on her side knew about our being together..." Qin Yi hesitated to continue.

Qin Yi was taken aback.

He had never heard of any of this before.

He had once asked his father where his maternal grandfather was, where his mother came from.

But these questions were all casually dismissed by his father and mother.

Now that he thought about it, it was indeed the case.

No one was told about his mother’s identity and background, and Qin Qing had never seen any relatives from his mother’s side.

Now it seemed that it wasn’t that his mother had no relatives; rather, the origins of those relatives were not simple...

"When your mother married me and gave birth to you children, her parents and relatives were unknown to everyone. If it hadn’t been for us being captured and incarcerated, and your mother trying to save me, she wouldn’t have asked that side for help."

"However, your mother did not expect that the person she called would only rescue her. And I, I was still imprisoned in the heavenly jail..."

Hearing this, Qin Qing could already guess that his mother’s background must be extraordinary.

"Then Father, do you know where exactly Mother comes from, or which power she is affiliated with?" Qin Qing asked again.

But Qin Yi remained silent.

"Father, what are you worried about?"

"Qin Qing." Qin Yi suddenly looked at Qin Qing, his expression becoming severe, "Regarding your mother’s matters, I don’t want you to know too much for now. Just know that the power your mother is associated with is very complex..."

"And you... I don’t want you to get involved in this matter right now. Maybe your mother also hid your and Little Shuang’s existence to protect you..." Qin Yi said.

"Could it be that Mother’s family is even more formidable than those ancient powers?" Qin Qing was somewhat puzzled.

"It’s different, Qin Qing... There are many things in this world that are not as simple as they seem on the surface," Qin Yi looked at Qin Qing, "When the time is right, I will tell you..."

"When the time is right... So Father, when will it be the right time?" Qin Qing asked.

"When you’ve broken through to the Saint Realm, that should be about right..." Qin Yi said.

"To the Saint Realm?" Qin Qing murmured to himself, nodding silently.

He was currently in the Golden Core Realm, and there were two great realms between him and the Saint Realm.

The path ahead of him was still very long...

...

In the following period, Qin Qing stayed in Tianjue City.

As the construction of the Qin King’s Mansion began, everyone in Tianjue City knew that Qin Yi had returned and that he had been ennobled as the Qin King by the current Holy Emperor, achieving a meteoric rise in status.

Over this past year or so, a seal of loneliness had marked the Qin Residence, but now visitors were constantly arriving.

However, both Qin Qing and Qin Yi did not deal with these matters themselves.

They were focusing their efforts more on cultivation.

In fact, Qin Yi had quite exceptional talent as well.

His Martial Soul turned out to be Seventh Rank...

Moreover, Qin Yi’s talent for perceiving spiritual energy was even much higher than his Martial Soul talent.

In a place like Tianjue City, where the cultivation techniques were too outdated, grades too low, and resources for cultivation too scarce, all these factors limited Qin Yi’s development in the martial arts.

Otherwise, Qin Yi’s accomplishments in the martial arts would have been much more significant; at the very least, he should have condensed a Golden Core long ago.

And the reason Qin Yi stayed in Tianjue was probably also largely due to his wife...

But now, Qin Yi had a new goal.

Further inspired by his son, Qin Yi also devoted much more energy and time to cultivation.

...

"Huff..."

Qin Qing exhaled lightly.

Two months flew by in the blink of an eye.

During these two months, Qin Qing was in closed-door cultivation.

When he returned from Tai’a, Qin Qing was at the sixth layer of the Golden Core Realm.

And over these last two months, Qin Qing successfully broke through from the sixth layer to the Seventh Realm.

This also meant that he had moved from the middle stage to the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

On this day, Qin Qing stepped out of the Qin Residence.

"Brother!"

Qin Shuang happened to walk in from outside.

There were also several young girls with her who were children from other families in Tianjue City.

Seeing Qin Shuang’s face lit up with a smile, Qin Qing felt deeply happy inside.

It had been a long time since he had seen his sister look so happy.

But... every time he thought of his sister’s Fire Disease, Qin Qing’s heart couldn’t help but sink.

As long as his sister’s Fire Disease wasn’t cured, it would always hang over him like a stone, preventing Qin Qing from feeling at ease.

"Brother, where are you going?" Qin Shuang asked.

"I want to see how the King’s Mansion construction is coming along..." Qin Qing said affectionately, ruffling his sister’s hair.

"Hmm, I’ll go with brother," Qin Shuang said, holding onto her brother’s hand as they parted ways with several other young ladies.

Qin Qing, with Qin Shuang in tow, made their way to the construction site of the Qin Residence.

The site chosen for the Qin Residence was located where the City Lord’s Mansion once stood, arguably the most central and prime location within Tianjue City.

At this time, the streets of Tianjue City were bustling with pedestrians.

Compared to two months ago, just after the turmoil of war, the city no longer bore the marks of raging battles.

The buildings damaged during the war had already been repaired within two months.

With the appearance of Qin Qing, the pedestrians on the streets quickly turned their attention to him.

It wasn’t long before someone recognized Qin Qing.

"Is that Qin Qing?" someone exclaimed.

"Yes... that’s Qin Qing from the Qin Residence, the current Great General of Yuan Country!"

"The Great General is so young... and he’s so handsome too?"

"I never would have thought that the Young Master, who was once considered a waste by everyone in the Qin Family, would achieve so much in just a year or two..."

Some couldn’t help but sigh with emotion; back then, Qin Qing was a laughingstock in Tianjue City, with almost everyone believing that Qin Yilong had disgraced his illustrious reputation with an unworthy son. Yet now, everyone was admiring Qin Yi for having such a fine son.

If it weren’t for their desire to stay in Tianjue, the Qin Family could have gone to the capital and still stood as one of the top noble families, especially now that the Qin Family had already earned the right to be on equal footing with the Qin Imperial Clan.

"Back then, I witnessed General Qin — no, General Qin Qing — fight his way out from here. Facing the encirclement of thousands of troops, he was unruffled as he fought alone with his spear and broke through the siege. It was truly blood-stirring..."

"General Qin was betrayed by his fiancée; the son of the former Prime Minister and Mu Yunlan tried to kill him. But the General survived the calamity, and later rose to power..."

As Qin Qing walked with Little Shuang, the discussions of the people around them, though hushed, were clearly heard by Qin Qing.

Qin Qing responded with a faint smile.

Reflecting on the past, he naturally felt some emotion. Once upon a time, he was nothing but a muddled youth.

However, Qin Qing was aware that he still had a long road ahead. His sister’s Fire Disease had not yet been cured, and as for his mother, he still didn’t know her whereabouts...

Then there was Mu Yunlan...

Whenever he thought of Mu Yunlan, Qin Qing’s heart couldn’t help but stir slightly.

It wasn’t out of any lingering affection for Mu Yunlan, but rather the words that came to mind:

"When the Dark Sparrow appears, the Azure Dragon emerges."

"With the revelation of the Dragon Soul, one shall be invincible across the world!"

These were the words that echoed within the Soul Palace when Qin Qing awakened his Dragon Soul.

Where did this voice originate from, and what did these words signify?

Furthermore, Mu Yunlan and the mention of Dark Sparrow Devouring Dragon by Shangguan Xuan in the past... it made Qin Qing realize that perhaps his feud with Mu Yunlan was entwined with a destiny of sorts?

The story between himself and Mu Yunlan was far from over, it had only just begun!

"General Qin!"

At that moment, a voice interrupted Qin Qing’s thoughts.

It was Sun Xiong!

Sun Xiong was the newly appointed City Lord of Tianjue City, but Qin Ren had already decreed that Tianjue City no longer needed a City Lord, for the Qin Residence was present. With Qin Yi there, he would be the new King of Tianjue City, rendering the City Lord’s Mansion obsolete.

The reason Sun Xiong still remained in Tianjue City was because of the construction of the Qin Residence, and for the past two months, Sun Xiong had been supervising the work.

"City Lord Sun!"

Qin Qing looked at the respectfully saluting Sun Xiong and nodded slightly.

"General Qin, the main construction of the Qin Residence is about to be completed. Soon, we’ll start the overall decoration and the arrangement of the gardens. Please take a look at the overall structure, and if there is anything unsatisfactory, I will make immediate changes!"

Before Qin Qing, Sun Xiong’s attitude was extremely respectful.

Perhaps the ordinary citizens of Tianjue City didn’t know Qin Qing’s true status and why even the current Emperor personally visited Tianjue and bestowed titles upon Qin Qing and the Qin Residence.

But Sun Xiong knew all too well the reasons behind it.

He knew that without Qin Qing, Qin Ren would not only have been unable to ascend to the throne but might have been imprisoned even now.

More importantly, it was because of Qin Qing’s strength!

To be able to kill Lang Chiyi in a single move, and to defeat both Lu Tianlong and Qin Sheng in a two-on-one battle, Qin Qing’s unrivaled combat achievements had already become legendary. Now countless martial artists took Qin Qing as a model of inspiration.

Ultimately, in this world where martial prowess was revered, the strength of a martial artist was the absolute right to speak. It was the basis for respect and admiration...

Under Sun Xiong’s guidance, Qin Qing inspected the overall structure of the Qin Residence.

The construction of the mansion was grand in scale and magnificent in presence, spanning a vast area fitting the title of the Qin Residence.

Qin Qing was also satisfied with it.

Just as Qin Qing was about to leave with Little Shuang, an elder from the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion unexpectedly arrived and informed Qin Qing that there was a letter for him.

It turned out to be a letter from the Tai’a Ancient Country, too far to be reached via Horn Token communication.

Qin Qing received the Jade Slip containing the letter.

Upon immersing his Divine Sense, he found it was from Liu Hongxue.

As Qin Qing read the contents of the letter, his face immediately lit up with joy!

Liu Hongxue brought good news: there was a way to cure his sister’s Fire Disease...

To find a cure for his sister’s illness, Qin Qing had traveled to Tai’a, facing many twists and turns, ultimately without success. Now, the arrival of such good news naturally filled him with joy.

But then, Qin Qing’s brows slightly furrowed.

Aside from the good news, Liu Hongxue had another message...
