Qin Wu and Qin Chuan were escorted to the Imperial City, Qin He's leg was broken, and the three armies were preparing to march to the Imperial City. Qin Wentian understood that this was to put pressure on the royal family. Only in this way, the royal family would not dare to immediately sentence Qin Wu and Qin Chuan to death.
As for why the Qin Clan had expelled him from the clan, Qin Wentian was very clear. This was a covert attempt to protect him. Perhaps, after his disappearance, Senior Mustang had communicated with the Qin Clan.
"In the world of martial arts, the strong have supreme authority. One day, if I can reach the clouds, I will definitely trample the imperial power under my feet." Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath, as a blazing flame ignited in his heart. His first Astral Soul originated from the 5th Heavenly Layer. His second and third Astral Souls would also be able to do the same. As long as he was given enough time, so what if he was the Emperor?
With the help of the night, Qin Wentian arrived at the Qin's Mansion. From a distance, he found that there were several figures outside the gate of the Qin's Mansion. They were all leading horses and carrying luggage. It seemed that they were ready for a long journey.
"Sis Yao." When Qin Wentian saw them mounting their horses, they immediately galloped over. Before long, Qin Yao and the others arrived at Qin Wentian's side. Seeing Qin Wentian, Qin Yao was stunned.
"Wentian." Joy appeared on Qin Yao's face as she dismounted her warhorse and rushed to Qin Wentian's side.
"Sis, Qin Shang, Qin Zhi, where are you going?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Wentian, Grandfather and Father were brought to the Royal Capital. The Qin Clan had no choice but to send their troops to the Royal Capital. If they were defeated, only death awaits them. Second Uncle has decided to send us to the Snowcloud Country to cultivate." Qin Yao explained. Immediately, Qin Wentian understood. This battle had been forced upon them, and the result was already set in stone. Qin Yao's group leaving was the best choice.
"We rushed here in the middle of the night because we were afraid of being targeted by others. The younger generation of the Qin Clan will leave in batches. Wentian, when you arrive at the Emperor Star Academy, you must focus on your cultivation. Don't bother yourself with the matters of the war." Qin Yao's eyes reddened as she spoke.
"I know, and so do all of you." Qin Wentian nodded heavily. It was almost impossible for the flames of war to burn the imperial city. Qin He and the others knew that it was impossible, but they still did it.
"Oh ya, Uncle Black has disappeared, and we can't find him. Second and Third Uncle are also outside the city. There's no need for you to go to the Qin Residence, just head straight to the Emperor Star Academy." Qin Yao stated.
"Uncle Black has gone missing?" A strange expression appeared on Qin Wentian's face. He still wanted to ask what was going on with the demonic ape. Also, Uncle Black was extremely knowledgeable and was definitely an extraordinary character. However, Uncle Black had never told him about his birth before. After witnessing the might of the demonic ape, as well as the tiny astral-being left behind by his dead old fogey father, Qin Wentian wanted to know more about his birth parents.
"Qin Yao, let's get moving earlier. Don't let the Ye Clan target us." Qin Shang walked over, as he stared at Qin Wentian, "Wentian, in the Qin Clan, your talent is the best. In the future, your achievements will be the highest. You must work hard to become an expert, an expert that can influence an entire country."
"Big brother, you too. I will definitely make the Ye Clan pay the debt of blood for the sake of Second Uncle." Qin Wentian solemnly nodded his head. Qin Shang's father, Qin He, had lost a leg because of him. And now, for the sake of the Qin Clan, Qin He had to lead an army to the south.
"When we arrive at the Royal Capital, be careful." Qin Shang heavily patted Qin Wentian on his shoulders.
"Wentian, we will be leaving first." Qin Yao's eyes reddened, as though she was very reluctant to part. She walked to the side of Qin Wentian and spread out her arms. Qin Wentian smiled, as he hugged Qin Yao and patted her on the back. "Sister, don't worry. Father will be fine. Second Uncle and the rest are working hard in the army, and I will also work hard in the Emperor Star Academy. As for you, when you arrive at Snowcloud, you have to be careful."
"Mhm." Qin Yao didn't want to let go even after a long time. Only after Qin Shang and Qin Zhi mounted their warhorses did Qin Yao reluctantly part with Qin Wentian. At this moment, traces of tears could already be seen on her face. Her tears turned into a smile as she stared at Qin Wentian. "Smelly brat, the next time we meet, you must become a true iron-blooded man, able to protect me, your sister."
After speaking, Qin Yao turned, and with a single step, she leaped onto her warhorse.
"Jia!" Qin Yao shouted, and the warhorse galloped madly. She didn't even turn her head back to look at Qin Wentian, and left like the wind. Qin Shang and Qin Zhi followed behind, and the silhouettes of the three of them gradually disappeared into the distance.
"Hu …" Qin Wentian clenched his fists tightly as he cast a glance in the direction of the Qin Residence. His heart was filled with an incomparably strong conviction. Become stronger, I must become stronger.
"Shouldn't you be on your way as well?" At this moment, a voice drifted over. Qin Wentian turned, only to see a silhouette walking in his direction. His eyes involuntarily narrowed.
"I guessed that you would return. I've already been waiting for you for a few days." Francis led two horses over.
"Hmph." Qin Wentian snorted, as a cold light flickered in his eyes. The 'arrogant' image of Murin from the Star River Association had left a deep impression on him.
"I know you hate the Star River Association, but all of this has nothing to do with me. Murin didn't manage to control you, so he directly returned to the Royal Capital. I believe that even if Ye Mo died, the benefits promised to him by the Ye Clan wouldn't be small. Murin took away all the divine inscriptions you gave me, not a single one was left behind." Francis's voice was filled with coldness.
"What does this have to do with me?" Qin Wentian asked.
"I wish to acknowledge you as my master." Francis's words caused Qin Wentian to be stunned. This arrogant weaponsmith Francis wanted to acknowledge him as his master?
"I know you doubt my character. Over ten years ago, when I became a stellar martial cultivator, my talent wasn't high enough and my perception was weak. At that time, there was a weaponsmith who told me that I could improve my perception by comprehending divine inscriptions. Hence, I followed him and became his apprentice for a total of ten years. However, he only bestowed me with the simplest of divine inscriptions."
Francis was still enraged as he recalled the events of the past. "Ten years, I wasted an entire ten years of my time, but I still managed to enter the Star River Association just by relying on the simplest of divine inscriptions. I worked hard unceasingly, obtaining new divine inscriptions, and finally had some achievements today. As long as I could comprehend second-level divine inscriptions, I would have a chance to become a second-level weaponsmith. Alas, all my hopes were destroyed by Murin."
The second-level divine inscriptions Qin Wentian had given him, he initially wanted to slowly comprehend them. But now, they were all snatched away by Murin.
"I, Francis, am not a good person. But since I've received rewards, I will definitely forge divine weapons for others. Even if the quality of the weapons are inferior, I will still have a bottom line. But Murin doesn't have a bottom line. But so what? If I don't have any good fortune, I can only look up to him for the rest of my life. Even if I hate him, so what?"
Qin Wentian could feel the despair in Francis's heart. Everyone had their own story. Francis's path had been extremely difficult, yet Murin had easily snatched away his hope.
"So what?" Qin Wentian calmly replied. Naturally, he wouldn't let his heart overflow with sympathy.
"Qin Wentian, your talent is extremely shocking. You can easily comprehend second-level divine inscriptions that others are unable to comprehend. If you were to use this to forge weapons, you would be able to obtain an astronomical amount of rewards. However, I believe that you would rather spend more of your time on the path of cultivation. As for the other matters, I can help you take care of them. I don't want any of the resources you obtain, I will use them all to pave the way for you."
Qin Wentian's heart stirred. He naturally understood that a weaponsmith would be able to obtain an astronomical amount of rewards easily. But if one wanted to forge weapons, it wasn't enough just to comprehend divine inscriptions. One would need to spend a large amount of time to gather the required materials. In the future, he definitely wouldn't spend too much time on this.
Francis's words had obviously moved him. Although Francis had his own motives, in this world, who would help others for no reason?
"You are a weaponsmith, yet you want to take me as your master? Don't you feel that this is beneath your status? "Qin Wentian continued. The only thing he could give Francis was divine inscriptions.
"You should know that it's easy to add flowers to a brocade, but it's hard to send charcoal in snowy weather. How can I, Francis, be so short-sighted? Although you are currently facing many difficulties, as long as you can endure them, in the future, I'm afraid that I won't even have the qualifications to carry your shoes. At that time, would you still be interested in me, a mere Francis? To me, taking you as my master is an extremely honorable thing.
"Also, I really want to witness the rise of a genius with my own eyes. I want to see you ruthlessly trample that bastard Mu Qing under your feet. When you look down on him, I want to see if he can still hold his head high and look at us with arrogant and contemptuous eyes." Francis's eyes were still burning with rage. Only by borrowing the strength of Qin Wentian would he be able to trample Murin under his feet. He had placed all his hopes and dreams on Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian stared at Francis, before shifting his gaze onto the steeds behind him.
"Is one of those steeds prepared for me?"
"Of course." Francis replied, as he stared at Qin Wentian with some nervousness.
Qin Wentian stepped forward, as he mounted one of the steeds. At the same time, a snow-white silhouette, akin to a mirage, instantly leapt onto the back of the steed.
"This fellow, what an incredible speed." Qin Wentian glanced at the snowy puppy, before squeezing his thighs together, causing the steed to gallop forward.
"Master, wait for me." Francis broke into a smile as he witnessed this scene. His silhouette flickered as he leapt onto another steed and chased after Qin Wentian. With a trembling smile, he stated, "Master, do you think you should first give your disciple some gifts for becoming my disciple? For example, some 2nd or 3rd level Divine Inscriptions?"
Qin Wentian stared at the shameless smile on Francis's face. Rolling his eyes, he scolded, "Scram!"
After speaking, the steed beneath Qin Wentian's feet increased in speed, as he madly galloped away, preparing to rush through the night towards the Royal Capital.
"Haha, Murin, you son of a b * tch. Just you wait." Francis laughed loudly, as he continued to chase after Qin Wentian. Not too long later, the two of them dashed out of the Sky Harmony City, galloping on the main road. Under the starry sky, dust and sand were kicked up into the air.
Qin Wentian turned his head back and cast a glance at the towering city walls, as an incomparably resolute look could be seen in his eyes.
This was the first time Qin Wentian had ventured into a faraway place. As the wind blew past, the past was buried under the dust and sand. He had arrived in the iron-blooded world of the Martial Dao, filled with gratitude and grudges.
