C108 Spiritual Power

The next day.

Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, a family reunion day. Many disciples took leave to go home, but the Li Huo Sect appeared desolate and cold.

Early in the morning, Qin Shi had made an appointment with Xu Qiao'er last night. He wanted to return to the Qin family to take a look, so he woke up early.

After getting up, he cleaned himself up simply and walked out of the room. The moment he walked out of the room, Xu Qiao'er was already waiting for him in the garden. Sitting in the pavilion, Xu Qiao'er's beautiful appearance was like a budding ice lotus that overshadowed all the flowers blooming in the garden.

Qin Shi smacked his lips and froze on the spot.

When Xu Qiao'er saw Qin Shi in the pavilion, she rolled her eyes. "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at beauties." After regaining his senses, Qin Shi tilted his head and walked toward Xu Qiao'er.

"Not proper, not a bit like an older brother." Glaring fiercely at Qin Shi, Xu Qiao'er stood up in the pavilion. There was still no trace of a smile on her face.

With regards to this point, Qin Shi helplessly shook his head and said, "Qiao'er, you should really consider the matter that you spoke of last night."

"What is it?"

"Xiao-Xiao, you look really pretty when you smile."

Xu Qiao'er was stunned. She pursed her lips and said shyly, "I will do my best."

Try your best?

When the two words fell into Qin Shi's ears, he didn't know why, but it felt somewhat bitter. He knew in his heart that Xu Qiao'er was a kind-hearted girl. It was just that she was used to disguises. Since she was young, she had always been wearing a mask to show off her skills.

Even if Xu Daoyan returned, it would still be a bit difficult for her to suddenly change things.

He patted Xu Qiao'er on the shoulder, wanting to tease her, so as to tease her. He teased her, "You, always keep a straight face. If anyone marries you in the future, they will definitely lose eight lifetimes of bad luck."

"Then I won't marry, I'll pester you for the rest of my life."

Unexpectedly, not only did Xu Qiao'er not smile, but she seriously thought for a while before speaking.

"Eh?" Gurgle gurgle gurgle. Qin Shi was speechless as he spat along the side of his mouth. Initially, he had wanted to tease Xu Qiao'er, but he didn't want to get himself involved. He coughed dryly and said, "About that, you aren't serious right? "I'm your brother after all."

"Puchi!"

Xu Qiao'er laughed. With her beautiful appearance, her smile was sweet and intoxicating. "Yeah, who told you to be so unlucky? If I do not pester you, who do you think I would pester? "

Qin Shi was suddenly enlightened and said with a bitter face, "You stinking girl, how dare you mess with me!"

At that moment, Lin Yu, Su Ming, Zhou Qin, Qin Shang, and the others walked out of the room at the same time.

When they saw Qin Shi and Xu Qiao'er, they could not help but shake their heads. "Why are you playing Eagle to catch chickens so early in the morning?"

After the farce, Qin Shi stopped Xu Qiao'er and walked up to them. He asked, "Qiao'er and I are heading home for a trip today. What are your plans?"

"I'll go home too." Both Su Ming and Qin Shang spoke at the same time. They were both from the ancient city, so it would be more convenient for them to return home.

After receiving the answer, he nodded his head and turned his gaze towards Lin Yu. Amongst the group of people, only the Lin Yu Clan was not in the ancient city: "Little Yu, what about you? What are your plans? Why don't you come back to the Qin family with Qiao'er and me? After all, you don't have any relatives in the ancient city, and you know all the Qin family. "

"Well, let's have a family reunion. I'm not going to join in on the fun." Unexpectedly, under a bright smile, Lin Yu's gaze turned to Zhou Qin, his gaze filled with sweetness. "I had long since promised Zhou Qin that I would accompany her back to the Zhou family for a holiday with Auntie Yao Yanping."

"Screech …" "You've improved quite a bit."

Hearing this, Qin Shi was stunned, but he immediately laughed, "Looks like this is the rhythm of falling in love."

"Stinky stone, stop bullshitting." As a girl, Zhou Qin bashfully cursed, but no matter how much she cursed, Qin Shi seemed as if he couldn't hear her and continued to tease her. In the end, she forced Lin Yu to take action and forcefully stop Qin Shi.

After being held down by Lin Yu, Qin Shi unhappily scolded him, "Damn, this is absolutely standard practice for brothers. For wives, you can cut two knives for brothers. This young master only did this for your own good. It's fine if you don't reward me, but you actually treat me like this?"

"Pay more attention to beauties and friends!"

Finally, after a fierce scolding, the few of them went their separate ways.

"Ah, Gentle Village, Hero Tomb. There are too many things to say." Qin Shi looked at the completely submissive Lin Yu beside Zhou Qin, and shook his head in amusement. Afterwards, he and Xu Qiao'er didn't waste any time. They immediately signed the fake note at the entrance to return home and left the sect.

After leaving the sect, the two of them arrived at the ancient city.

In the ancient city, the two of them delayed for a moment. After all, they had left the Qin family for so long. It was too outrageous to return empty-handed. Thus, the two of them went straight to the bustling business district and prepared to buy simple gifts for their families, especially for Qin Yongfeng, Qin Tianqing, Qiong Shuyao, Liu Yanbing, Qin Yuling, and Xu Qiao`er.

After buying all these, the two of them went to the restaurant in the ancient city to rest and fill their stomachs before leaving.

Qin Shi found a corner seat and sat down. He suddenly wanted to find the place where he had once been a young master in Wasteland Town. He couldn't help but laugh bitterly, patting the table and arrogantly shouting, "Waiter, bring me your best dishes and wine."

"Alright, objective!"

The waiter responded by serving two jugs of wine before rushing to the back of the kitchen.

After taking a sip of the wine, the corner of Qin Shi's mouth slowly cracked open. He snorted in delight, "Good wine."

At this moment, an old man with a shawl covering his face was sitting beside him. With an empty wine cup in his hand, the old man suddenly walked up to Qin Shi. Looking at his ruddy face, he must have already had three rounds of drinks. "Little brother, I can see that you're quite handsome. I didn't expect you to be a debauchee too.

Qin Shi frowned as he glanced at the old man.

It wasn't that he was trying to judge a person by his appearance. It was just that this old man had not washed up for a few days, and his entire body was reeking of the disgusting smell of alcohol.

"Shitou, this person is quite strong, at least above the Spirit Destruction realm."

However, at this time, the warning sound from the book's contents caused Qin Shi to be stunned. Qin Shi blinked and looked at the old man in front of him with an expression of disbelief. His face contorted as he thought in his heart, "Break … break through the spirit realm? Sister Yu, are you joking? No matter how I look at it, I think he is just a mere mortal without spiritual energy. "

"You can't be wrong. He must be hiding his spiritual power with his breath. That's why you didn't notice it."

Qin Shi nodded doubtfully and hastily moved to the side, leaving a seat for the old man. He forced a smile and said, "Haha, old senior, you must be joking. I was just passing by the restaurant and brought my little sister to eat."

"Hehe, this little brother is dishonest. Does he want to drink too?"

"Old senior, what are you saying? As the saying goes, if you don't get drunk, everyone will get drunk. If you are willing to dress yourself like a beauty, aren't I the one who cannot find someone to rely on? So I'm here to drink and dispel all of my worries." At this point, Qin Shi awkwardly scratched his head and filled the wine cup in the old man's hand with the wine jug. He said, "Senior, if you don't mind, how about we drink two cups together?"

Seeing the wine, the old man's eyes lit up and he immediately became spirited. He patted Qin Shi on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, you have good eyesight. Since we're fated to meet, I'll drink a few cups with you."

"…"

Hearing that, Qin Shi cursed in his heart, "Fuck, who's accompanying who? This is the first time I've seen such a shameless person. " Of course, although he was scolding, he didn't dare offend the great deity in the book. He flattered, "With senior accompanying me, this junior will have the fortune of three lifetimes."

At this moment, a burst of delicious fragrance was brought up by the waiter.

He sniffed with all his might and the fragrance of the dish entered Qin Shi's stomach, causing him to lick his lips as he drooled. He thought to himself, "I have to admit, the restaurant in this ancient city is indeed different."

Thinking of this, he raised his glass and began to drink with the old man beside him.

Xu Qiao'er pursed her lips when she saw the two of them act in such a manner. She alone was somewhat displeased as she ate.

At this time, more than a dozen thugs bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they rushed into the restaurant.

"Smelly old man, we finally found you." As soon as the dozen or so people entered, the black mass surrounded the table of Qin Shi and the other two. Carrying all sorts of sharp weapons, they pointed at the old man and swore, "Haha, now that death is near, you still have the leisure to drink here. What a reckless old man!"

The originally peaceful restaurant was suddenly broken by these fiendish villains. Many of the customers were frightened out of their wits. They all trembled and ran out of the restaurant in a fit of joy.

In the messy restaurant, only Qin Shi and the other two remained.

Qin Shi glanced at them from the corner of his eyes and was shocked. He discovered that these people were all incredibly strong, all of them above the middle stage of the Spirit Sealing Realm. He was inwardly flabbergasted. "This group of people's strength isn't bad. It doesn't look like they're from the ancient city."

The restaurant instantly became nervous.

The old man, on the other hand, happily drank the wine in his cup and turned his flushed face away. He ignored the tens of thugs and looked towards Qin Shi as he sighed, "Ah, little brother, it seems like I won't be able to drink this wine. I'll get rid of these eyesores first."

With that, the old man slowly stood up.

Qin Shi was stunned. He subconsciously raised his hand and worriedly asked, "Old senior, you …"

"Hehe, don't panic. These little bastards still can't injure me." The old man pursed his lips, but soon after, his cold gaze swept over the group of thugs. "Hmph, disturbing this old man for a drink, the consequences will be severe."

"Cut the crap. Smelly old man, prepare to die."

With that said, over ten thugs raised their silver spears that were shooting towards the old man at the same time.

Seeing that the sword was about to cut into the old man's body, Qin Shi panicked and slammed the table. His Spiritual Energy circulated within his body as he said worriedly, "Be careful, old senior!"

But at this time, in the restaurant, waves of surging spirit energy penetrated through the tables and chairs, and at the same time, a loud 'bang' sound rang out. The originally calm wine in the wine cup also formed a whirlpool, and with a cracking sound, all of the wine cups and pots in the restaurant shattered.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that the thugs were all stunned like wooden chickens. Their mouths were stiff as they rolled their eyes, fainting on the ground.

"Hmm, what happened?"

Looking at the scene, Qin Shi was dumbfounded.

"Spiritual Might?" Suddenly, Yu in the book cried out in surprise.
