Tian Que Fort.
After a period of rushing, Wang Zhonghe finally arrived at Tian Que Fort. m..oΓg
Entering the lobby, he cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist."
"Where is he?" The Fort Master of Tian Que Fort frowned, seeing only Wang Zhonghe.
"Don't even mention it, that kid has been hiding in the city and won't come out," Wang Zhonghe said angrily.
"In that case, why did you come back? Aren't you afraid he'll escape during this time?"
Wang Zhonghe said indignantly, "This kid got lucky. The City Lord of Han Tian City took a fancy to him and wants to take him as his son-in-law. He has now been taken to the City Lord's mansion by the City Lord."
"What? The City Lord of Han Tian City wants to take him as a son-in-law?" the Fort Master of Tian Que Fort exclaimed.
Wang Zhonghe nodded, "I came to find you this time to borrow the power of Tian Que Fort to pressure Han Tian City. I can be sure that he is the murderer of your son. Once he marries the City Lord's daughter, how will you avenge your son?"
The Fort Master of Tian Que Fort had previously investigated based on Wang Zhonghe's clues.
The facts were as Wang Zhonghe said; Qin Hanchu was indeed the most suspicious.
He had expected Wang Zhonghe to capture Qin Hanchu, but he did not expect Qin Hanchu to be so lucky.
Once he married the City Lord's daughter, even the Fort Master of Tian Que Fort would not dare to act against Qin Hanchu casually.
The couple at the Spirit God Realm in Han Tian City were very powerful, and his Tian Que Fort did not want to clash with them head-on.
However, as long as they were not married yet, there was still a chance.
Qin Hanchu had killed his son, so Tian Que Fort could go to the City Lord of Han Tian City to demand his handover.
The City Lord of Han Tian City should not antagonize Tian Que Fort for an unfiancé.
Moreover, there was the Twin Extreme Sect behind Wang Zhonghe.
"Wait here for my news. I'll go find a senior from the sect now."
...
That evening, Qin Hanchu attended a family dinner with the City Lord's family.
Qin Hanchu was the nephew of the City Lord's wife, so he was considered family.
During the banquet, the City Lord and his wife inquired about Qin Hanchu's past.
Qin Hanchu did not hide anything and recounted his past life.
"Was your world fun?"
"I've never been to another world before."
A Xiang asked curiously.
"Although the martial arts in those two worlds were not strong, the level of technology was very high."
"In comparison, people there knew how to enjoy life more."
Qin Hanchu replied.
"Your journey has been difficult."
"Stay here and cultivate from now on. With your aunt and uncle protecting you, you can cultivate with peace of mind."
"You don't need to worry about resources either."
The City Lord's wife said.
"Aunt, I appreciate your kindness."
"But I have some minor troubles on me, and I'm afraid of causing you trouble," Qin Hanchu said.
"As long as it's not a hegemonic force in the Tian Niu Domain, we don't care," the City Lord said proudly.
"Feel free to stay. We won't bother with the small troubles you've stirred up," the City Lord's wife said.
A Xiang also smiled, "Stay. If you want revenge, you need to have powerful strength. You can cultivate with peace of mind here."
Qin Hanchu knew A Xiang was right.
Having a peaceful environment to cultivate in could indeed improve one's strength faster.
Moreover, his aunt would provide him with sufficient cultivation resources.
"Alright, then I'll impose on you," Qin Hanchu said.
"Family doesn't need to be so formal," A Xiang said with a smile.
The City Lord and his wife glanced at A Xiang, then smiled without comment.
It was evident that A Xiang was quite pleased with Qin Hanchu.
After dinner, Qin Hanchu returned to his residence with A Xiang accompanying him.
"Shall I take you to Red Maple Valley tomorrow?" A Xiang asked.
Qin Hanchu chuckled, "Are you keeping me here to enjoy the scenery with you, or to let me cultivate with peace of mind?"
"Isn't it to enhance the relationship between our cousins?" A Xiang said with a blush.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "I'll accompany you for two days, and then I'll go into seclusion to cultivate."
"Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow then." Seeing Qin Hanchu agree, A Xiang said with a smile.
A moment later, the two returned to Qin Hanchu's residence.
"You go back, and I'll go back to rest too," Qin Hanchu stopped at his door.
"See you tomorrow then."
After speaking, A Xiang left with light steps.
A smile unconsciously appeared on Qin Hanchu's lips. He felt very comfortable interacting with A Xiang.
He had enjoyed chatting with A Xiang even before he knew she was the City Lord's daughter.
Upon returning to his residence, Qin Hanchu sat cross-legged on the bed.
He took out the Jade of Inheritance and communicated with it using his mental power.
As his mental power probed, many books appeared before Qin Hanchu's eyes.
With just a thought from Qin Hanchu, the content of these books would appear in his mind.
As the City Lord's wife had said, most of the martial arts of the Baili family were of the Metal element.
Qin Hanchu did not lack martial arts; what he wanted now was a cultivation method to temper his spirit.
After searching for a while, Qin Hanchu finally found the Baili family's spiritual cultivation method.
The name of this cultivation method was "Great Evolution Art."
According to the City Lord's wife, the Baili family was considered a very strong existence in this world.
If that was the case, the grade of the Great Evolution Art should not be low.
He studied it carefully, and unknowingly, a night had passed.
It wasn't until A Xiang's voice was heard from outside that Qin Hanchu realized it was already dawn.
For martial artists, not sleeping for a few days had no impact.
So Qin Hanchu got up directly and walked out of the room.
A Xiang only transformed into her true form when she was in the City Lord's mansion.
Once she went out, she would transform into her chubby appearance.
The two, now familiar with each other, chatted happily in the carriage.
"That kid looked reluctant before, but now he's chatting so happily with the City Lord's daughter?"
"He was just pretending to be noble before. Isn't he just trying to attach himself to the City Lord!"
"If it were me, I would also treat the City Lord's daughter well."
To others, Qin Hanchu's conversation with A Xiang looked like he was trying to please her.
The martial artists by the roadside watched Qin Hanchu and discussed in low voices, and many of them were very envious of Qin Hanchu.
Although the chubby girl A Xiang had transformed into was not in good shape, her appearance was not ugly.
If one could gain the support of two Spirit Gods, how many people would be willing to marry the City Lord's daughter.
If not for the regulations on age and cultivation level, there would have been even more participants in the martial arts competition for marriage.
An hour later, the convoy stopped at Red Maple Forest.
Accompanied by golden-armored guards, the two walked together in the mountain forest.
"Isn't it beautiful here!"
"Every year at this time, I come here to admire the scenery."
A Xiang pointed to the continuous red maple forest ahead.
Qin Hanchu nodded, "It is indeed very beautiful."
Just as the two were chatting, a group of people walked out from another direction.
"Isn't this the eldest daughter of Han Tian City?"
"I heard you've taken in a live-in son-in-law. Is it this person?"
This group of people also had unusual origins, and the woman at the head spoke to A Xiang with a cold and sarcastic tone.
