Chapter 37 Divine Fist Sect
Chapter 37 Divine Fist Sect
Almost simultaneously.
On the other side, at the Han residence.
The former reception hall was now draped with white mourning banners, and a coffin lay in the center, with people kneeling or bowing their heads and weeping.
"The mourning hall has been prepared."
"Then let's not keep the guests waiting."
An elderly man with gray hair and a cane suddenly spoke.
In front of the crowd.
Han Qingyue nodded gently, then parted her lips slightly.
"Open the gates to welcome guests."
"Ruan Chen, Baili Ce, and Song Wenruo from the Divine Fist Sect have arrived..."
"Pei Junyi of Canghai Martial Arts School..."
"The Grand Canal Gang..."
As a series of high-pitched, shrill sounds rang out.
A constant stream of people.
He immediately appeared inside the mourning hall.
The first three figures to arrive were led by a man with a jujube-colored face, arms that reached past his knees, prominent temples, and eyes that shone with a captivating light. He headed straight for Han Qingyue.
"Junior Sister Han, please accept my condolences..."
"If it weren't for the matters of my sect that delayed me, and if I had arrived earlier, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."
"Brother Ruan is so thoughtful."
Han Qingyue's eyes glistened with tears as she shook her head and said, "Everything in this world is preordained. If my father's calamity was ordained by fate, whether you came sooner or later, the outcome might have been the same."
"Junior sister, please don't be too sad."
A look of infatuation flashed in the man's eyes. He took out a jade-green porcelain bottle from his robes and said, "This is a Body-Tonifying Pill. This pill not only has the effect of nourishing the mind and spirit, but also can delay the aging of one's appearance. It is a specialty of my Divine Fist Sect. Please accept it, Junior Sister."
"Furthermore, at my request and that of Deacon Baili..."
"The Han family will also be able to accompany us to the Divine Fist Sect this time."
Han Qingyue heard this.
A strange light flickered in her eyes. She then raised her long, slender, white fingers and placed them on the bottle, saying softly, "Senior brother has helped me so much; it is already a great favor. How can Qingyue be so impolite as to accept such a generous gift?"
The latter gasped for breath.
He reached out to grab that fair hand.
He then said, "I originally obtained this item for my junior sister. If you don't want it, then this elixir would be meaningless."
Han Qingyue withdrew her hand, her face showing stubbornness, but she remained silent.
Seeing this, Ruan Chen chuckled awkwardly.
He then looked at the person behind him.
The man understood and said, "Junior Sister Han, you have no idea how much my senior brother paid for this pill..."
"Patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Jiu has arrived..."
At this time.
Another name came through.
Han Qingyue frowned and glanced at Ruan Chen subconsciously, then bowed to the group: "Please forgive me, Deacon Baili and Senior Brothers, today is my father's funeral, and I need to entertain the guests. I cannot spare the time to accompany you..."
"It's alright."
That figure that hadn't spoken a word.
He then waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and get busy. We can discuss joining the sect later."
"Thank you, Steward."
After Han Qingyue left.
Immediately, a figure walked towards this side.
"I am the deputy leader of the Songshan County Canal Gang, and I have long admired the Divine Fist Sect..."
......
......
The front courtyard of the Han residence.
Qin Jiu looked at the figures around him, a look of surprise on his face.
"The Han family seems to be quite popular."
"I suspect it's related to those few people; they're said to be from the Divine Fist Sect in Ning'an Prefecture."
Qin Xuanzhou said in a low voice.
He heard people talking about it when he arrived.
Songshan County is now in a state of utter chaos.
If one could join a major sect and leave this place, no one would want to stay in the county town any longer.
Qin Jiu nodded in relief.
He himself came here with the same idea of getting to know members of major sects.
In front of the mourning hall.
Han Qingyue remained calm and gave a slight bow.
"Patriarch Qin."
My condolences.
Qin Jiu didn't know what to say, so he just sighed softly and placed three incense sticks in front of the coffin.
He was mostly feeling heavy-hearted.
The Qin family once suffered a great calamity.
In order to protect himself, he wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Han family.
At the time, Han Zheng may have had the idea of annexing the Qin family. However, the Han family was also attacked by demons, so the two families swapped their strengths. But whether Han Zheng was out of fear or truly thinking of his past friendship with Qin Guihong, he still agreed to the marriage alliance.
Even if things don't work out later.
They were willing to offer a nearly fourth-tier spirit beast as an apology, so at least they showed some sincerity.
Yet now he still dies amidst the chaos of demons.
"Young Master Qin."
At this time.
An aged voice rang out.
Qin Jiu turned his head and saw an old man leaning on a cane.
"You are, Master Han Qing?"
"It is indeed this old man."
Upon hearing this, the old man's slightly stiff expression immediately softened, and he said, "Of the major families in this inner city, only our two families remain. Moreover, with Zheng'er now murdered, the ruthless person who slaughtered the Li family in the past may cause trouble again."
"Our two families must protect and watch over each other."
"This matter..."
"snort."
Qin Jiu hadn't even finished speaking.
He was interrupted by a pretty figure next to Han Qing.
"My sister has a close relationship with the disciples of the Divine Fist Sect. Now that they have come to the Han residence, what thief would dare to cause trouble here? How did it come to the point where we have to rely on the Qin family for protection?"
The words were somewhat sharp.
This has drawn a lot of attention to this place.
One of the figures, who was talking to someone, immediately strode over upon hearing this.
Han Qing's expression changed slightly.
"A-Ning."
"Grandpa Han, you are not from the Han family lineage, so you naturally don't know about my relationship with Junior Sister Han."
Ruan Chen walked over and grinned, saying, "Miss Han Ning is right."
"If that thief dares to come."
"I will definitely take action to suppress it."
"As my sister said, Senior Brother Ruan is indeed a true hero."
A faint smile appeared on Han Ning's face.
Looking at her pretty face, Ruan Chen's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible heat. At the same time, he patted his chest and said, "Of course. I, Ruan, travel the world mostly to eliminate evil and protect the righteous. How could I tolerate such evil happening in the Han family?"
He finished speaking.
Then he looked at Qin Jiu.
"Who is this...?"
"I am Qin Jiu, the head of the Qin family in the inner city. I have long admired the Divine Fist Sect. Today, I have the honor of witnessing the brilliance of your sect's disciple. He is indeed awe-inspiring."
Qin Jiu smiled faintly and cupped her hands in greeting to him.
Upon hearing this, the latter's eyes lit up, and he immediately laughed and said, "Brother Qin, you flatter me."
"I was just talking to someone and heard about the Qin family."
To be honest...
"Our Divine Fist Sect has come to Songshan County this time to select disciples. The Qin family is flourishing, and its former patriarch was a dragon among men at the Inner Strength Realm. If your Qin family has any promising talents, you might as well send them over for a try in a few days."
"There's no time like the present."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiu was overjoyed and said, "Why don't you give it a try now, senior brother?"
These words were spoken.
Ruan Chen's body stiffened slightly.
He had only intended to flatter each other and say a few more words, but he didn't expect the other party to take advantage of the situation and flatter him.
"this......"
"Patriarch Qin, you've been far too abrupt."
suddenly.
Han Qingyue, who had been silent all along, frowned and spoke up: "Senior Brother Ruan has come for the sake of my Han family, how can you be so rude?"
