Life is but a nightmare

Chapter 155 Joining Forces!

"Heh heh!"

"What god or anything like that!"

"I just know a little about fortune-telling, it's nothing special!"

"Since you're here, come inside with me!"

"I already know why you've come!"

Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, the old man lying on the rocking chair smiled faintly.

Then he got up and walked towards the inner room.

From beginning to end, he didn't even glance at the Lü siblings beside him.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment before following.

This left the Lü siblings standing in place, exchanging glances and looking at each other in dismay.

"Sit down!"

"Your visit here this time!"

"Is likely not just to fulfill your master's request!"

"More than that, you want to inquire about the Qin family's affairs!"

"Or perhaps, about Qin Huaiyu!"

Entering the inner courtyard, he led Zhou Xuan to the place where he usually told fortunes for others.

Huang Youwei closed the door to the room behind him.

After gesturing for Zhou Xuan to sit down,

He revealed Zhou Xuan's intentions with a single sentence.

This gave Zhou Xuan a more direct understanding of his master's old friend's capabilities.

"Uncle, your calculations are superb!"

"Nothing escapes your eyes!"

"This junior came to visit you today, and indeed wishes to inquire about Qin Huaiyu!"

"My master said that you, Uncle, not only know astronomy and geography!"

"But your understanding of intelligence matters far surpasses that of so-called professionals!"

"To be frank, this junior has some connection with the Qin family!"

"And these days, I keep hearing people mention Qin Huaiyu!"

"And it's always with words of praise!"

"I have some concerns, so I thought I'd come to you, Uncle, to understand the situation!"

"After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to winning a hundred battles!"

"If Uncle could share any information about this person, this junior would be eternally grateful!"

Seeing that Huang Youwei had already revealed his purpose for coming,

Zhou Xuan immediately and frankly admitted it.

After respectfully cupping his fist towards Huang Youwei,

Zhou Xuan stood quietly by Huang Youwei's side, waiting for his uncle to enlighten him.

"Since you call me Uncle!"

"I will naturally help you with this matter!"

"But let me ask you one thing, are you truly prepared to go all out against the Qin family?"

"To be one of the five great families in Shangjing City, none of them are to be trifled with!"

"Especially the Qin family, relying on some of Qin Huaiyu's reforms in recent years!"

"Their strength has advanced by leaps and bounds!"

"And, according to some information I've gathered!"

"Currently, besides the Fang family, another of the five great families in Shangjing City, who can still pose some hindrance to them!"

"The remaining three great families are likely no longer their match!"

"Such a colossal entity, if you truly choose to confront them head-on!"

"To put it bluntly, even with your current strength!"

"I feel you'd be like a moth flying into a flame!"

"If one day, you truly manage to enrage them!"

"And force them to fight you desperately without regard for the consequences!"

"Then I believe, unless your master steps in!"

"You might not be their opponent!"

"I know, since you've chosen to be an enemy of the Qin family!"

"You've likely learned about some of the Qin family's strength through other channels!" "But what I want to tell you now is!"

"What you've learned might not be the entirety of the Qin family!"

"You only need to know that the five great families of Shangjing City!"

"Have been established in this place for over a thousand years!"

"And there's something called foundation!"

"What you learned before are merely things these families display openly!"

"What they hide beneath the surface is truly what's deadly!"

"So now, you need to tell me!"

"Are you truly prepared to go all out against the Qin family!"

Hearing Huang Youwei's words, Zhou Xuan stood stunned in place.

Clearly, his master's old friend's intelligence went far beyond what he had known.

"Of course!"

"Although I may not understand what kind of power your uncle's 'foundation' represents!"

"But the revenge for the Qin family destroying my Zhou family, I will have it no matter what!"

"Even if the price is beyond my ability to bear, I will not hesitate!"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Xuan gave his reply with a solemn expression.

"Good!"

"In that case, I will tell you some news about Qin Huaiyu!"

"I must say, this young descendant girl!"

"Is the most monstrous talent I've seen in years!"

"Of course, you are also a monstrous talent!"

"It's just that your monstrosity is reflected in cultivation!"

"While this young girl's monstrosity is reflected in her powerful political maneuvering!"

"Qin Huaiyu, the current head of the Qin family, one of the five great families of Shangjing City!"

"At the young age of twenty-one, she is already a blazing figure in Shangjing City!"

"Not only does she hold the position of Director of National Administration!"

"Her Qin family has over twenty members holding important positions within the national government!"

"Three years ago, this young girl, only eighteen years old!"

"Her first act after taking power!"

"Was to order the apprehension of some of the older generation of the Qin family!"

"Subsequently, she immediately organized the first martial arts tournament in the entire Shangjing City!"

"Through this, she recruited a large number of powerful cultivators from the populace!"

"That martial arts tournament, as far as I know!"

"The Qin family recruited no less than fifty cultivators at the Creation Realm!"

"They even managed to recruit five cultivators at the Transcendent Realm!"

"And now, at least two of these five Transcendent Realm cultivators!"

"Are always by Qin Huaiyu's side, providing her personal protection when she goes out!"

"This means that even if you plan a decapitation strike!"

"And try to find an opportunity to capture Qin Huaiyu first!"

"With your current strength, you wouldn't be able to achieve it!"

"Furthermore, because Qin Huaiyu also holds a major position in national politics!"

"Even if you find a way to bypass her guards and capture her directly!"

"The state will surely intervene to help the Qin family find you!"

"No matter how strong you are individually, you cannot contend against an entire nation, can you!"

"Another thing, through my previous investigation of the Qin family!"

"The Sun family, one of the five great families, is now showing signs of wanting to join forces with them!"

"And it's a collaboration led by the Qin family!"

"Although this is currently only in the negotiation stage between their high-level officials!"

"No one can guarantee that this matter won't become a reality one day!"

"At that time, you'll be facing the two strongest families in Shangjing City all by yourself!"

"Do you think, if that were the case!"

"You would still have the slightest chance of winning?"
